The Alleged Attempt to Shoot MIR. Blaine

The Alleged Attempt to Shoot Mr.. Blaine.
WASHINGTON, March Investigation
shows that the report of the attempted assassi-
nation of Mr.. Blaine some ten days ago has no
foundation and is a piece of sensationalism
Mr.. Blaine, speaking of the reported shot at
the carriage in which he was riding, says this
morning that the whole story was riditcu
lousy absurd one. The report was published
in local paper when the reporter who wrote
it, Mr.. Blaine says, knew it to be false. "The
fact is, he continued, ''that I did ride with
Mckinley from the capitol on Thursday night,
February 22d. and no incident occurred during
our ride. / heard nothing of the story until
the next morning when the livery stable pro-
prietor came to make a complaint about the
damage to the carriage. My theory is that the
glass was broken by stone after / had dismiss
ed the carriage"
A correspondent made an examination of
the broken window at the livery stable and is
of the opinion, from the character of the hole,
that the fracture was not made by bullet. The
hole is too irregular and the glass too much
shattered by pistol ball.
Mr.. Blaine today said of the report that pis-
tol ball had been fred into his carriage: "On
Thursday evening of last week Mr.. Mckinley
and rode from the capitol to the Ebbitt
House, where / stopped few minutes.
rode home alone. / dismissed the carriage as
soon as / ascertained that none of the family
were out and to be sent for. Next day about
nooh l heard that one of the large pains OF
glass IN Ine carriage naQ Doen broken ana tn6
fragments of glass were scattered profusely
over the seat on which Mckinley and I had
been sitting. A few hours after heard of it
inquired of Mckinley whether he noticed
any noise or breakage during our ride, and he
said not the slightest. He reminded me
that the window and both doors in the car
riage were closed before we left the capitol,
the air being quite sharp. He remembered
| this very distinctly, as / did also, for he threw
his cigar away with the remark that he would
not smoke in close carriage. Of course a
| pistol ball fred into the carriage must have
| gone through it or been found inside. 1t did
not go through and no bullet has been found.
In my judgement the hole was never made by
pistol ball. 1t more resembles crash from
a sharp stone hurled violently"
"What is your theory about it?" asked the
reporter
II have none," replied Mr. Baiue. 81 only
| know that the window was not broken while !
was in the carriage; what occurred afterwards
| l have no means of knowing Mr.. Blaine
| further said that he attached no important
significance whatever to the broken carriage
window and regretted that any notice had
been taken of it.

Partnership,

The opinion is hazardod that few
farmers know the following point OF
law:
An agricultural agreement between
two persons, one TO furnish the outfit
and the land, and the other TO hire tho
laborers and superintend the farming
during the year, the former to provide
money to carry on the business, half Of
which to be repaid him, and the profits
to be divided between them, creates the
relations of partners. Where the land
owner in such case executed an agricul.
tural lien to r for advancements to car
ry on the common business, partner
ship debt was thereby created, and the
property in the crop vested in X. to
secure its payment. Reynolds VS.. Pool,
Supreme Court Of North Carolina.
In this county there Is much Of such
business done and farmers will do well
to note the law.
