A Doctor Shot.

QUINCY, ILL, May 3O.-Dr. Hoff-
man, editor of the Germania, was
shot last night by Guise and Casper
Hellhake and DR.. t. r. Spear. He
is still alive, but in a precarious con-
dition. These men were taken to
the police court and a continuance
granted for ten days, bail being
fixed at 100000 each for the Hell-
hakes and $4,000 for Spear. The
assault, so far as can now be learned,
was entirely unprovoked. An article
in the Germania is supposed to have
led to the shooting. There is a very
general feeling of indignation
against the perpetrators of the crime,
although they have heretofore stood
high in the community.

Decoration Dav.

WASHINGTON, May 30-Tosday,

compel the payment of this tax,
without extending the bonded period,
5O,OOO.000 gallons would be thrown
upon the market and sold for the
payment of tax; that this would
compel the makers of high wines,
all over the country, to close their
distilleries. The effect of this, he
believed, would be disastrous in
many ways. 1t would at once de-
ssroy the market for 100000 bush>
els of grain per month used by illicit
distillers. The present over>produc-
tion of Kentucky whisky. he thought,
Vould amount to 50,000,000 gallons.
He thought Congress would make
great mistake if it should now res
fuse to extend the bonded period, and
he did not believe the same trouble
would arise again, because the peo-
pie would not again be fooled into
buying whisky in bond in excess of
the legitimate demands for consump-
tioD.
Mr.. Miller was asked, "what are
the views of your association on the
question of reducing the tax on whis-
ky to so cents a gallo J." and replied
that, of course there was difference
of opinion. He was engaged entire
ly in the export trade, and it would
make but little difference to him, but
jobbers who were compelled to trust
Their whisky FL over the co try
would of course prefer to trust to
the extent of SO cents per gallon
rather than 80 cents. Mr.. Miller
stated that not one dollar had evef
been paid by his association to infu-
ence legislation, and that they had
never been approached by any lobby,
or any one pretending that he could
influence legislation.
Adam Stephens, of Cincinnati,
commission merchant and treasurer
of the National Distillers and Spirit
Dealers Association, was next ex-
amined The association was
formed in October, 1879, and its
purpose mainly was to watch the
Legislation, with view to protecting
the interest of the trade. The total
income of the association is derived
from the annual dues of the mems
bers, which vary from $40 to $50,
and for the past two years this in>
come has aggregated about $4,000,
out of which the annual salaries
were paid as follows President,
5000; secretary, $1,800, and the
treasurer, $4,000. Mr.. Stevens full
ly corroborated Mr.. Miller's state
ments that NO money had ever been
expended by their association to in.
fuence legislation.
The Senate to day confirmed the
nomination of J. Braton as post-

South Carolina Election Troubles.

CHARLESTON, s. c., May 30.-The
State supervisor of registration was
arrested twice to>day for refusing to
allow United States deputy marshals
to remain so near him as, in his
judgment, to impede the free regis>
tration of the voters. In each case
the supervisor waived an examina-
ton, and gave bond for his appear
ance at the November term of the
United States Court. The super
visor bases his action on the decision
of United States Judge Hughes, Of
Virginia, defining the powers of
deputy marahals. Two city police
were also arrested to-day on a
charge of obstruction. No com
plant of unfairness in the manage,
ment of the registration has been
made by either side.
