An AudaciOus Attempt.

An attemps at assassina ton occurred at the
Hotel des EstraDgers, No. Rue Vivienne,
in Paris, recently, which for cool audacity is
so far ahead Of anything we have heard OF
in that particular line, that we print the par
ticulars as they were cabled to this country {:
One Delalin, apparently Belgian or Hol-
lander, age about Is years, took room in the
hotel in the latter part Of March. Nothing
particular was noticeable in his conduct, ex.
cept that he left the hotel at an early hour
every morning and did not return until after
midnight. One morning letter carrier,
named Dartaud, called with a registered
letter for Delalin, and on being shown to his
room delivered it, receiving therefor his sig.
nature, as is customary. Turning then to go
out, as Delalln was apparently reading his
letter, he was stopped by the latter suddenly
crying out
"Not that door !"
There we're two doors to the room, and the
letter carrier naturally halted for a moment,
supposing he had chosen the wrong means of
exit At once the assassin sprung upon him,
and rapidly dealt him five blows with a
poinard on the head and ueck, under which
Dartaud was almost beaten to the floor, He
managed, however, to escape from the room
down the stairs, and rushed, co vered with
blood, into the Office of the hotel and gave
the alarm.
Delalin in the meantime made his escape,
but was followed into the street, where q
crowd soon joined the pursuit, crying-"Stop
the assassin !" and thus attracting the atten.
ton of the passersby. Hunted to the death
! Delslin ran until out of breath, when be
turned on his pursuers and discharged one
barrel of a revolver at the nearest-for
tunately without effect. This could only de
lay his capture for few moments, and pres
emily perceiving this he placed the revolver
to his own temple aud fired, giving himself
mortal wound.
The injured letter carrier recovered. Tn
Object of the attack was to obtain possession
of the registered letters which he was con
veying to their destinstion-the one addresse
to Delalin being aiterward proven to hav
! been written by himself. K

Luck.

The Utica Observer says that since Weed
became entangled i'll poker game and lost
1920 900, down the Hudson river recently, all
of the old players have been showing their
hands and making open confessions of their
sins. An Ogdensburg sport remarked the
other day ''Speaking of that big game of
poker reminds me of little job, which did
not work, some of US fellows put up on a
man from Canton. He used to come out
here every little while and get drunk. He
had money, and was ready to play at such
times. One of the boys fixed the cards so as
to give him three queens and pair of mines
He gave one of the other boys four jacks
The old man was so drunk that he did not
notice the pair, and drew two more cards,
and, as luck would have it, got the other
queen. The boys thought they knew how
matters stood, and began to bet. The old
man had the most money, and raised the bet
OF the man who held the four Jacks every
time. The latter, sure of the game, borrowed
all the money the other fellows had and put
it up. Finally the old man called him and
showed up the tour queens. You Just bet
there was a demoralized crowd. The old man
scooped in the cash, and that game was neaer
tried on again"

The Matter Goes Into fg,e Core ea4SO4s assd
Thompson Gets XngzoTSoMssy ScoopoC-
That Is tho Cons1ssSttee on Credentials Sits
DosoD 0ss Him.
As mentioned La the GbogB yesterday,
the Minneapolis township came into TO the
Republican convention yesterday with two
| delegations. One was the Josiah Thcmp-
son, Jr., clicque, and the other was the
Capt. Gross ring. Both were vigilant, ur-
| compromising and determined. Zach
| faction was armed to the teeth with patri-
| otto resolutions, high sounding protests,
etc. claiming that theirs was the iegiti-
mate and regular delegation, while the OPP
| posing faction was fraud, and
an imposition upon good Repub-
icanism. Tho lists were rendered the
i committee on credentials, and this COM
mittee wrestled with the matter fully IA
hour. Each faction was given q hearing,
| and then one witness, supposed to be "dis-
| interested" Was sworn and testified As
| the session OF the committee and tho TAX
| ing of testimony was done In q secret con-
claye, of course no newspaper reporter was
permitted to be in attendance. Notwitll-
standing that the Thompson delegation
came into the convention with a profess
against the Gross gang signed by fully
three times as many OF the citizens of
Minneapolis township as were the Opposi-
ton protests, the committee gave him an
ungracious black eye by shutting both
himself and his colleagues out of the con-
vention, and seating Gross and his crowd.
By some It is said that the fury OF the
gale was spens In the commit
tee room, but those who are acquainted with
| the citizens OF MINNEAPOLIS TOWNSHIP Z,
who failed 10 get q representation In the
convention, know very we'll that the
question, like Banquo's ghost Will not
down. These people win be heard from.
The ery of fraud is even new being carried
from mouth to mouth throughout The
township.
