ing. He gave his name as Hillbridge, but
it is not certain whether that Is correct.
However, but little is known of him more
than his appearance showed him to be
drunken, vicious character. He claimed
he was Texas cowboy, and it is sup
posed he called himself by this name to
make others fear him. On Tuesday
afternoon and evening he filled up
with cheap whisky, and was making
considerable fuss at Smeitzs saloon, on
Third street, where they put him out. He
went over on First street to his boarding
house, where smother man came in and
commenced making fun of him for getting
put out of the saloon. This made him an
cry, and he picked up pistol belonging
to q boarder, and fred a shot through the
ceiling to see If it was loaded, swearing at
the same time he was going over to Smeitz's
saloon and clean the id ranch out. He
went and soon got into q fuss, when the
police came up and tried to get him away,
when he commenced firing on them, and
to save himself, policeman Croughban
blazed away and shot him through the
stomach. No inquest has as yet been held.

& endish means OF forcing change in the
law. A tug boatman in he'harbor of Chi
cago was recently tined by the collector OF
customs for carrying pleasure party on
his tue without equipments and hfesay-
ing appliances, which the law requires.
The Secretary OF the Treasury remitted
the fine, but directed the collector to notify
all tug boatmen that the law would thence
forth be enforced sgainst all towing boats,
waich, under any circumstances, carried
Others than their own crews without 6rst
complying with the terms and conditions
OF the act relating to equipment OF pas
senger vessels. Soon after the prom ulga-
tion OF the above notice, vague rumorS
csme TO this Office that threats had been
made by the tug boatmen that
IL they could not lawfully carry
passengers under any circumstances, with
out incnrripg penalty OF $500, then they
would notsaye people from drowning, even
when they could do so. The question OF
whether they could do so, without incur
ring the penalty has never been presented
either TO this Office or the department, and
except for the statement made in the news
papers, it was inferred that this Office
would have regarded such q question as
too preposterous to be even thought Of,
except by persons with diseased brain.
In view OF the occurrences set forth, how
ever, this Office regards that the question
had not been propounded to ID, in order
that it might have expressed its emphatic
disapproval to the assumption Of a law
whose whole aim is the saving of life, or
should contemplate, under any circum-
stances" the imposition of penalties for
carrying out its own objects.

hind the Lowest Man on the Ticket.
CINCINNATI, October '1S.-An effort has
been made to have it appear that General
Keifer's reelection to Congress was COM
plete vindication of his course by his con-
stituency. Such is not the case. MIR.
Townsend's majority in Keifer's district
was LAS, which was just ], ,005 greater than
was given Keiter. In his own county
Keifer received majority of 252, while
Townsend had majority OF S65. In Spring
field, Keifer's own city, Townsend had a
majority of 244, while keIfer fell behind
his opponent 264 votes. This does
not look much like q complete vindi-
cation by his constituents; but these figures
do not reveal the whole truth. The entire
Republican ticket fell short OF its usual
strength, and Townsend, on account Of his
position on the liquor question, was found
to be one of the lowest men on the ticket.
Keifer therefore fell more than 1000 votes
behind the weakest of the candidates for
State officers, none of whom commanded
more than rs per cent of the usual Repub-
lican vote in Ohio. In the face of this
Keifer's home organ, the Dayton Journal,
SAYS that the General carried his district
by the largest majority it has ever given
candidate for CONGRESS" The Journal saves
its reputation for veracity by the fact,
which occurs to but few, that no Congress
sional election has ever before been held in
that district as it is now constituted. The
impression sought to be conveyed is that
there have been many previous elections
in this district. and Keifer has this time
beaten everybody who ever ran before.

To Take the stump for Robson.
WASHINGTON, October 1S-E fate is good
10 the Democratic party there will appear
in Secretary RObesOn'S district in day or
two a man who deems himself great and
slandered. Speaker Keifer is the man. He
will speak in SecOr Robeson's district.
Keifer was a plain, thick-headed, common
place, and unheard-of man until last fall.
He was content to represent his district,
and wasn't doing any great harm. But he
came under Secor Robeson'S banetul lnttu-
ence. Keifer doesn't know that hls party
either laughs at or despises him. He would
stand no more chance of denomination
for. the Speakership than dead man.
Some plain-spOken Republicans here told
him before be started for New Jersey that
he was, with Jay Hubbell, responsible Tor
the turn affairs had taken in Ohio, at least
so far as the Congress elections sre con-
cerned. But he does not believe that lie
thinks that the press is unmercltully down
on him, that he 10 an abused and slandered
man, and he announced q day or two ago
that he would subscribe TO fund 70 SEND
fool killer to Ohio. He thought the party
would be benefited. Keifer Will be shown
for the next ten days through RObeson s
district. He will speak for his master. He
did not relish the job, but Robson COM
nlapded. II Keifer will tell the people OF
RobeSon's district the story Of his election
as Speaker, and show how he packed the
eammitteeS at RobeSon's command, the
matter of, his speech will be interesting.
His manner of speaking never caused the
galleries in the house to be filled.
