In a recent number of 1.-The journal with

which lead him to the conclusion that
alcoholism Of parents is a predisposipg
cause of crime and epilepsy in their chil4
cren.~ ~ Forty-fo1r per cent. Of the cpl.
leptic criminals we're the children Of
drunken parents. The proportion of ep-
ileptiC and insane relatives ID found to be
very much greater With, criminals than

tions for bastardy are three times as nui
merous among epileptics as among non

FITR MURDEHOUs INTENT.
A Rough, Without Any Cause What
ever, Fires at q Gentleman ON the
Street.-The Bali Passes Through
Ihe Iafter'S II0thisrg

About G.15 p. III. Friday deliberate
attempt at murder was made on water street.
without the slightest cause the assailant ap-
pearing to be actuated solely by spirit Of
deviltry
At tile above hour two gentlemen. Mr.. L. IT.
Warner and Captain James II. Henderson ere
passing along Water street, on the north side,
between Market and King, when shot was
fired from behind, and the Captain made an
exclamation as though he had been shot.
Turning quickly around they saw a man
only few yards behind them in the act of
slipping IL pistol into his pocket. He was
Immediately seized and compelled to give up
the weapon, fine six-shooter with three
charges still in it, The man appeared to be
intoxicated and would give no reason for what
he had done; He was taken into Christy Is
cigar store and Special Officer Legg sent for.
The latter took him to the Hall.
Upon an examination it was found that the
bullet had entered the Captains overeoat ut
the shoulder aud had grazed the shoulder,
but where i, oassed ont was q mystery. Not
a word had beel said to the man previous to
the shooting, and Ia net the gentlemen were
totally TN 'nscious II i.t presence.
@SatriIdp W ''tch-tender Gnrmnn
found the ullet 'lGttened out on
the r0..k .r.r US store. Gorman
saw e MAI e' 'ral times during
wuA
~ dlo.tlerly manner, though he did not
talic him to be intoxicated. He heard two
shots fired over Market street bridge during
the afternoon, which We're doubles from the
miscreant revolver.
The prisoner who gave the name of James
Meeteer, was arraigned before the Mayor
Saturday. He said he had been drunk and
did not know what he had been doing. Mr..
Warner and Captain Henderson testified tG
the circumstances substantially as above. 1t
appeared from the evidence of the Captain
that the ball struck him on the shoulder
blade and it is certainly very strange that il
did not enter his body. One theory is that
the ball glanced from the wall or pavement.
1t was testified that when Meeteer wa,
taken into custody he said that he went Ia
put his finger on the trigger and the revolver
went Off accidentally. The Mayor required
him to be held in 81 800 bail for court
Captain Henderson is the owner of the tug
Inca. His assailant is nobody in particular
though he has worked of and on i'll this city.
After his arrest he looked at Henderson
and remarked II know you, Mr.. Walton
you discharged me when l was cutting ice,
or words to that effect.
An investigation brings to light the fact
that on Thursday three men, employed by the
kennebec Ice Company to cut ice Mt the
Shellpot refused to obey orders. and were
discharged by Pusey Walton. One of these
men was Meeteer. The supposition natural!
follows that he WAS seeking revenge and mis-
took Henderson for Walton.
Meeteer was committed to jail Saturday
afternoon.

West Presbyterian Church In this city
vas crowded Thursday night with wedding
guests assembled to witness the marriage
of Mr.. William G. Mendenhall, formerly
of this city. but now of Lancaster, Pa, to
Miss Estelle Nj. Rice, youngest daughter
of Edward l.. Rice, ESD, of this city.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
William Aikman, D. D, formerly OF this
city, and Rev. A. N. Keigwin, pastor of
the church. A peculiar and beautiful
feature of the wedding was the selection
of the nieces of the bride and groom as
bridesmaids, they ranging in age from
blooming young woomanhood down to as
tiny dot of girl as ever toddled in a
bridal procession, little Elsie, who will, we
hope, pardon the breaking in her case of
EVERY EVENINGS rule against giving names
in any mention of social events. Afte
the wedding there was large reception at
the residence of the bride.

and 10 the accounts run on for several pages.
The entries are doubtless in the hotel or bar
keepers handwriting, and the books were
probably handed to MIR. Thomas to square up.
Those books relating to the New Castle Com
mons were given to John II. Rodney, Esu.,
for the reason that they are records OF that
city and may prove of value to it some day.
The books in question do not belong in the
Registers Office and no one knew they were
there until they were unearthed in the tear
ing up before the removal.
There is in the office, on the executors
account passed by Thomas J. Macomb and
John Bellah, executors of Eleazer Alacomb.
One of the charges in their account is dated
MAY 9th 1893, received from the time OF
servitude of negro woman not appraised,
4l00; interest for eight years, S4s." This is
an old relic of slave days, such as are becom-
ing more interesting as their history sinks
deeper and deeper into the oblivion of the
past.
On the back of the deed is an interesting
note which is neither directed nor signed and
was probably written on this paper by mistake.
The hand is bold and strong and the letters
unusually well formed. 1t is indicted evil
IDENTIFY by Quaker, and is model letter for
its gentlemanly yet firm and decided tone. The
following is copy;
My FRIEND,
The hog now in thy field is not
mine, because have nv number up in my pen.
As thee is gentleman and peaceful neghbor /
have kept my oxen yoked or stabbed for some days
past in order to prevent their depredatiOns upon
thee, and my hogs penned with The same view ;
but, my friend, cannot consent to do this any
longer than thy harvest shall be gathered in, 20 as
that thee can make thy fence proof against both
oxen and hogs.
The fact that this note appears on the back
of the deed makes it likely that it was written
by one Of the executors and when the note
was shown to Edward I. Bellah the other day
he said it looked very much like the hand
writing of his brother, John Bellah, one of
the executors named in the account, the note
creates considerable interest among visitors.
especially those of the Society of Friends. While
the note was written as long ago as the be-
ginning Of the administration of President
Jefferson the ink is still as black and clear
| almost asif it had been put on but yesterday.
