Washington, July 3I.-The president
was, il seems, attacked by miscreant,
| who hurled stone through the window
Of the car in which he was riding while
Ell route to Louisville yesterday morn
ing. He was no doubt much alarm ei +.
as, according to the best obtainable story
of the occurrence, the missile crashed
through the car only few feet from
where he was standing. 1t is known
that some kind friend sent President
Arthur marked copy Of an astrological
almanac published in London by re-
tired army officer named Morris, under
the name Of Xadkiel. The marked part
is the prediction that the president OF
the United States will De in danger the
latter part Of the month (July), and
should take precaution accordingly.
The first occurrence TO bring this to his
mind so as to lead him to remark upon
it took place, however, upon his arrival
here from New York Saturday. A thun.
der storm was raging, rain falling in tor
rents and the dense darkness only re-
lieved hy the lightning flashes. The
Baltimore & Potomac depot, as the train
steamed in, was bright with the electric
lights, and familiar faces greeted the
gaze of the chief magistrate as he looked
cut from the car window but before he
could reach the car door all was In dark
tn
and fro, and whispering on the plat
form finally developed into confused
shouting from different directions for
light. In the meantime the presiden-
tial party retrcated into their car again.
Finally torches were procured and the
party, surrounded with railroad officials
and headed hy officer Pat kearny,
by torchlight through the
building, passing within the fatal ladies'
waiting room ell route to the carriages.
1t was noticed that the president appear
Ell unncrved and pale, but the latter
was prubiy owing 10 the weird light OF
the nambcaux after the cool, steady,
White blaze Of the electric lights. The
cause Of the sudden extinguishing of the
lights was due to the flash Of lightning
which struck the United States Electric
Light companys central station on the
night in question. OILY few persons
knew of the simultaneousness Of the
two events, but those who were present
at once recalled the part Of the John
Wilkes Booth plot which was not car
ried out--the cutting off of the gas sup.

very important and appreciahlc uses, rs

the day was performed yesterday at
York, Pa, on Mr. Edward Swartz, whose
neck was dislocated Thursday by the
limb of tree falling upon him during
the storm Of the evening. The case was
a critical one The man might die in
the operation, and die without doubt he
would at any rate if left untouched. Drs.
Weist and Gross informed the uniortun-
ate man Of his condition, and he was
willing to have the operation performed.
DR.. Swartz calmly had his family called

result of the operation might be fatal

Smyzer, Bacon, Meyers and Charles FL
senhart were present during the opera
ton. Upon making thorough exami-
nation it was found that the fourth JOINT

miles. and the superficial area about
twenty six square miles. Monte Epom-

twelve interior volcanic cones, from one
Of which the last eruption took place ia
1902. The valleys between the noun
tains and the plain which occupies a
part Of the interior are remarkable for
their luxurient vegetation and beautiful
scenery. The vegetable products Of the
island are very rich and various. Most
of the cultivated land is occupied by
vines from which somewhat acrid
form of white wine is manufactured.
Corn. oil and southern fruits are pro-
duced Iron and sulphur are found n
the island, bricks, tiles and pottery aie
manufactured at Casamiecola. The
great source of wealth to the island are
the numerous thermal mineral springs
which are the strongest and most enica-
cious in Europe. Though the nominal
bathing season last from June to Sep

English Telearsphy.

The present strike Of the Western
Union telegraph operators will naturally
revive Tie discussion about placing the
telegraph business OF the country in the
hands Of the general government. A
great many reasons can be stated why
the plan Of government system Of
telegraph lines is not practicable. A
great many reasons too, can be stated
better than the present system. If con-
trollcd by the government there would
be no strikes, for one thing. \ further
advantage would lc that there would be
a unif,,m system for the whole country.

Ing, combining and quarrelling by turns.
Very few people would argue that the
postal business Of the country would be
better transacted by private companies
than By the government. The eilicien-
cy with which that department Of the
government is administered is strong
argument in favor Of extending the gov
'rnmcnt monopoly, now confined to the
mails, TO the telegraph business of the
country rs We'll And yet the govern
nent postotlicc lie oartment is the most
grinding Of lnonopoies. if one wants to
look at II in that way. Any person csr
ry;ng letter, tile envelope Of which is
not duly stamped, is liable to heavy
fine. The people do not object to the
because they believe it to be
the only practicable way Of handling the
mail business Of the country.
The United States is about the only
civilized country In which the telegraph
business is not department Of the post
office, and like the postoiiice entirely in
government control.
About 1870 the people of England
grew dissatisfied with the way in which
;he telegraph companies handled the
business, and Il popular move was made
for government control Of the telegraph
lines. The government did not have to
condemn the telegraph lines To get the
business. The lines were simply bought

stock of telegraph or railroad company
does not always represent the cost OF

England Is very satisfactory. The rate
is uniformly shilling, about 2i cents,

Of the Kingdom. The telegraph Offices
are in The = stothccs. and controlled by
the postmaster. Since coming iAto pos

country would make any government
system of telegraph lines much more ex-
pensive and unsatisfactory here than
there.
