assassination and Conspiracy


Special to the Cincinpati Commercially
WASHINGTON, August 3.-The gov
eminent is very reticent respecting the
the course it will pursue in regard to
conspirators working in the united
States against other governments
There are a number of nice questions
involved that will require the exer
else of the best judgment to secure the
safety of society, and at the same time
do justice to all concerned. Without
desiring to interfere with the private
business Of any man who may not be
violating our laws, the Government
does not propose to allow this country
to become the place of refuge and
workshop Of people whose sole bust
mess is confined to attempts, by the
most dastardly means. to overthrow
foreign governments. Especially does
it intend to crush out, with an iron
hand, those individuals whose most
comprehensive idea of oppression to
other governments is the destruction,
by internal machines, of foreign built
vessels, or the assassination Of high
officials BY noison, explosive machines
and midnight attacks.
When one considers the threats that
these men have fully made to destroy
every English vessel that floats, and
thinks of the thousands of Americans
who travel upon the English steamers
that come within the pale of these
threats, the government would seem
to have reason for the most extreme
measures upon mere suspicion.
In the matter of the extraditiOn OF
Nihilists and Fenians for particular
crimes, there is reason to believe that
the government will be called upon ia
announce policy ere long. While
recognizing in its fullest Importance
the law which makes this country, Eng
land, France and Switzerland places Of
refuge for persons charged with polit-
ical offenses, this government will use
the utmost discrimination TO prevent
any assassin or would-be murderer
obtaining immunity from the conse.
auences Of his crime by claim that
he IS a revolutionist. This matter has
been brought home to us by the events
of the past few weeks, and much 81
that hberality of constructs Z
which has prompted the Americ 4
people and the American press to looA
upon attempts upon the lives of FIR
eign Princes with leniency as mere
political disturbances, has been swept
away. A purely wanton murder, even
of Princes and high officials, is net
revolution, and is not actuated by the
love Of country; and the murderer de-
serves no protection, however strenu.
ously he may claim to be patriot,
This is the position Of our govern.
ment as stated by prominent off ceJ-
and from it may be gained some idea
Of the action that will be taken in
case of certain demands from other
countries.

A difficulty occurred yesterday at
the American Boardinghouse," on
Mccall street, during which P. J
Dauriac, butcher, received razor
cut across the right cheek.
1t seems that Dauriac married Hor-
rigan's stepdaughter about year ago,
but the marriage was not happy one,
and about two months since Mrs.
Dauriac returned home. Since then
a small butcher made his arrival, and
yesterday evening the father went to
see him. He was met at the door by
Mrs. Horrigan. who denied him adj
mittance. A scuffle ensued, aud Hor-
rigan hearing the noise swooped down
upon the scene with a razor in his
hand. A three cornered fight was at
once inaugurated, and the edge Of the
facile razor had kissed the happy
fathers cheek once when a policeman
made a descent and carried of Horri-
gan and Dauriac in his talons. They
will have a hearing before Esquire
Quigley.

| NANAaACARa
The city fathers held a business
session yesterday.
Among their official labors! Mr.

man, and the following was transacted:
An ordinance requiring steam boil
ers used within the city, to be
inspected annually, passed first
reading.
The Paducah railway are to be
granted the privilege OF putting up
temporary frame buildings for depot
between Poplar and Exchange streets
near the river front.
The wagon firm of James & Roosa
will be allowed to put up frame ad :
dition to their factory on Jefferson
street, Is by So feet.
Official notice is to be given Mr..
Peter Lawless, to the effect that the
ground he now usesfor boiler factory
has been leased to the Paducah rail-
way company. No written lease for
the grounds was given to Mr.. Lawless,
and he merely had the verbal permits
sion of the agent OF the city to use
them. He has threatened to sue for
damages in the event of being ousted,
hence an effort will be made to ar
range the matter amicably.
The City Engineer is to make out a
list of sidewalks wanted, and out ofor-
der, plank and brick, fof consideration
at the next meeting Of the Legislative
Council. Then they will decide what
property holders shall lay them down.
People in the vicinity of the south end
OF Desoto street, are to be stirred up
to the necessity Of laying walks.
The right Of way through Fulton
street to lay two tracks each by the
NJ. & T. and the NJ. & G. railways is
granted by the city and the Ele-
vator Company will also have a track
or two over the same highway.
A dozen carloads Of TishomiRgo
gravel will put the lumpy places in
the new Adams street pavement in
frst-class order, according to the
views of the city engineer. A permit
to buy ten carloads of screened,
crushed stone to fix that and other
streets out Of order, was granted.
A culvert to cost $500 is needed on
Main and Clay streets, when the pave
ment of Main is extended beyond that
point, which it will not be this sum-
mer.
A petition for fire plugs in tie
Eighth ward was referred to the Fire
Commissioners. Another petition to
have lot of sidewalks laid in various
streets was laid over to be considered
next meeting. The condition Of the
alley behind the Commercial Hotel
will be inspected by the City Engineer
and perhaps it will be remedied after
wards. A petition to put up a wooden
blacksmith shop on Union near Her
nando street was referred to the City
Engineer and Fire Chief. The Louis
vile and NASHVILLE railways request to
secure a lease of the Southern Oil
Works site; was referred for further
consideration to the Railway Com
missioners.

Rains 60 the East.

All along the railway from Mobile
to Corinth, there were heavy showers
yesterday, the storm which swept up
from the gulf having favored that
strip of territory with refreshing
water falls. North Of Corinth, how
ever, not much rain fell, though Cairo
had a light taste of a shower yesterday.
Down at Port Eads, at the mouth Of
the Mississippi, nearly 4 inches fell
during last night, and New Orleans
was favored with II inches. Showers
seem to have fallen generally all
through the country lying between
here and the gulf coast Last week
Florida and Central Alabama had
about II inches of rain, while out at
San Antonio there was nearly an inch,
and up at Corsicana over IL inches
These rains are too late to be Of any
service to the corn crops, but may be

DEATH OF A YOUNG BRIDE.
Killed by Falling Down n Flight
Of Stairs.

San Francisco CALL
One Of the saddest tragedies imag-
Unable in real life took place in this
city few days ago. A beautiful
young girl, by name Of Kiturah j.
Horn, had for some time been engaged
to William +. Oliver, a young man
we'll knoVn in San Francisco. For
reasons best known to the con
tracting parties it was deemed
advisable to have quiet
wedding at the residence of the bride :
parents, and subsequently to give a
private reception to their friends by
way Of surprise. The happy day ar
rived and the ceremony was none the
less solemn because performed pri
vately. This was upon the 9th of
June, and it was arranged that the
reception should take place this week.
Invitation lists were made out and a
pleasant time anticipated. In the
fore part of last week the young wife
visited her husband at his Office down
town, and, after remaining some time
together, they started to descend the
steep stairs that lead to the ground
floor. AS Mrs. Oliver reached the tor
of the fight, she entangled the heel OF
her shoe in her skirt, and losing her
balance, fell heavily and rolled down
the stairs until caught by her husband
who had preceded her short dis
lance. Although severely shocked by
the fall she was enabled to preach home
with her husbands assistance Symp-
toms of serious internal injuries soon
made their appearance, and the unfor-
tunate lady sank, until on Sunday
every hope was given up, and her
favorite sister was summoned from
Monterey. 1t was the heartful prayer
Of the dying girl that she might die in
her sisters arms, but herprayers were
not answered, for she expired two
hours before the expected one arrived.
The first intimatiOn that many of the
friends of the young lady had, either
of her married or death, was conveyed
through the medium Of Tuesday s
prayers. wherein both the marriage
and funeral notices appeared.
