Attempt to KIN the British Consulate
in New York.

New YoRX, Sept. 25.-Great ex-
citement was caused in the neighbor-
hood of the British Consulate this
afternoon by the report OF two pis-
tol shots and the spectacle of a hat
less man running at the top of his
speed. The fugitive was pursued
and captured by policeman. He
gave the name of Feeney. and it was
learned that he had attempted to
take the life of the British Consul by
firing two shots at him. When the
prisoner was brought TO the New
street station house he described
himself as John A. Feeney. aged 26
years, an Irishman, and Dy trade a
coachman. Heappeared sickly, and
said he was recently discharged from
a hospital in Buffalo. He declared
that be had come from Canada on
purpose to kill the British Consul,
who had been libeling his character.
1t was evident that he was of un-
sound mind. A complaint being
preferred against him, he was taken
to the Tombs Police Court for exam
ination. When Ferry entered the
outer room of the British Consulate
he drew a seven -chambered revolver
and fired two shots, apparently with
out any definite aim and without
hitting any one. He was arrested
Immediately afterward by Officer
John Carr, of the First precinct.

Tied to a Cows Tail.

MATAMoRAs, Sept. 24.-George
Huston, of Monticello, N. Y, is thir-
teen years old. Last Sunday he
attempted to have some fun with a
COW. The animal kept switching
her tail while George was milking,
to his discomfort Being of an in
ventive turn of mind, he tied the
cows tail fast to his leg, and went on
with his work. The flies, in the
meantime, were getting in their fine
work on the cow, and finally she
shifted her position suddenly.
This made the tension upon her
tail pretty strong. She planted one
foot suddenly, and without warning,
in the pit of Georges stomach, and
began to run about the barnyard.
The rope with which George tied the
tail to his leg was good and strong,
and wherever the COW went George
went, too. Mrs. Charles Smith hap
pened to pass at the time and sue
ceeded in quieting the animal until
George united himself. He was
badly shaken up and terribly bruis-
ed, and he will not fool with COWS
after this.

Storm at Buffalo, n. Y.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Sept. pa dis
astrous storm occurred here late last
night, the wind at one time attain
ing a velocity Of fifty-four miles an
hour. The unfinished round-house
of the Rochester and Pittsburg Rail-
road on the Lake Shore, at South
Buffalo, was leveled with the ground.
A fine house on Ferry street was en-
tirely demolished. Windows we're
smashed in many Main street stores.
In the First ward lumber piles were
blown across the street, damaging
houses and fences. About 100 feet
of the side track on the Niagara
Falls branch OF the Central Road at
the foot of George street was washed
away and four Blue Line cars tum,
bled into the lake and their contents
washed away. The water in the
canal slips and harbor rose to a level
with the banks, and vessels outside
the harbor were for a time in great
danger.

ty years of age, living with her moth

both in good circumstances ana it
is said many bitter quarrels, attend

them. This has given rise to the
supposition that the girl was MUIR

night and the facts will be more full

probability it is case of suicide

Her parents had gone to their farm

dest. The murdered girl had been

other hired man went to Oxford

were twenty one cuts on the body
the neck being slashed from ear to

county will offer 500 for the capture
of the murderer.

A Curious Piece Of Glass.

new YORK, Sept. 25.-An mex
plicable explosion occurred last
night at the residence of Mr.. A. Can
dell, of Brooklyn. Mr.. Candell is a
manufacturer of artificial limbs at
$50 Broadway. Last Wednesday
evening while he was out riding with
his wife some unknown person
threw into the buggy hard sub
stance resembling a piece of fig
shaped glass. The supposed bit of
glass was transparent but apparently
hollow and had no opening.
1t was placed upon the mantel in
Mr.. Condell's parlor and nothing
more was thought of it, until last
evening. when, while the family was
in another part of the house, tre-
mendous explosion was heard. No
fragment of the apparently harmless
piece of glass could be found, but
the explosion destroyed everything
upon the mantle and overturned
several articles of furniture in the
parlor.
1t is believed that the glass curios-
ity contained dynamite, and that
it was thrown into the buggy for the
purpose of killing its occupants.

Killed at Ten PAGES.

LAMBERToN, September 26.-Last
evening fatal duel occurred at
White House Township about twen-
ty miles from here, between Henry
Howe and David Butler. The latter
was shot through the collar-bone
and killed almost instantly. The
trouble grew out of an old feud
which has existed between the fam
lilies of the Howes and Buffers for
ten years. During that period sew
eral .uarrels have taken place be-
tween the young members OF each.
Yesterday the two Buffers and
three of the Howe brothers met at
White House Township. Whisky
flowed freely and the old trouble
between the families was revived.
A quarrel ensued between Davis
Butler and James Howe in which
the latter used a pistol and the for
mer club. Neither was hurt serl-
ously.
Learning of the rowe between his
brother and their old enemy Henry
and Marshal Howe rushed to the
scene. Henry drew his pistol and
directed Butler to do the same if he
valued his life. When the men
were about ten PAGES apart, and be-
fore Butler could draw his pistol,
Howe fired. The ball struck Butler
in the collar bone and killed him
almost instantly. The only word he
uttered after he was shot was. We'll
this finishes up an old grudge." The
dead man was about twenty-six
years ofage, of splendid physique,
and regarded as hard man to ham

Shoots His Son.

GRAFTON, W. Va, Sept. GA
tragedy occurred a few miles from
this place Monday evening which
has cast gloom over the entire COM
munity. About 9 o'clock Mr.. B. G..
Mountz, prominent citizen of West
Grafton, was startled by hearing a
noise in the front yard, having been
somewhat annoyed of late by petty
thieving, he grasped a revolver and
rushed out. On reaching the door
he noticed the dim outline of mans
form in the yard, and, raising his
pistol, he fired. The man dropped
without groan. The report drew
the members of the family to the
scene, and on approaching the pros
trate body, Mr.. Mountz was horrifi-
ed to find that he had shot his own
son. The ball had entered his fore
head about an inch above the left
eye. The young man was a youth
of much promise, and the remorse
and despair of the father at the
result of his carelessness was terrible
to witness. The family is quite
wealthy and well known.

Molinskys and the Zupishes. Yes
terday Zupish went into Molinsky's

Zupish made such terrible threats
as to what the law would do with
them in this country that Molisky
was literally frightened to death.
He died of broken heart within
five minutes of the time that Zupish

four children. When Zupish saw

Struggling With a Maniac.

New YORK, September 27.-Wil-
liam Walsh a loborer residing on
the top floor of No. 349 Manhattan
Avenue Greenpoint has been suffer
ing for some time past from some
affection of the brain. This morning
he appeared to be suddenly seized
with fit and seemed inclined to be
violent. Mrs. Walsh became alarm
ed and went for DR.. Lorrisey, leaving
her two children, Theresa eighteen
months and another five years old
in the room witt, her husband. The
doctor returned, with her in very
few minutes but was horrifed on
entering the room to see him hold
ing the child Theresa by the feet
and beating her head upon the floor.
The blood from the childs head was
splattered all over the floor.
When the doctor entered Walsh
dropped the child on the floor and
giving q mantle howl he made a
dash at the doctor. The latter how
ever lodged him, and selzlng the
heavy wrung of a rocking chair
which was lying on tho floor struck
him on the head with it. The blow
knocking him out into the hallway
and missing his footing or tripping
over the doormat he fell to the
bottom of the flight Of stairs. The
doctor was upon him before he conld
rise and held him uatil the arrival
of a policeman when he was handed
over to his custody. He struggled
on the way to tine station house and
was so violent when he reached
there that he had to be tied in order
to prevent him from injuring him
self. He will be transferred to the
lunatic asylum as soon as possible.
His little girl whose head he beat
upon the floor the physicians say
will survive buta short time. She
was always his favorite.
