In a message to the legislature last

to express his disipproval of, and enter
his protest against. the legislature grant

telegram from Fort Worth, Texas, t.
The N Y. Herald of last Saturday says
This city was Mortified to-day when II
was made known that an attempt had
been made on the life of Miss Fannie
Murphy, a daughter of the pastor of tn,
Baptist church and teacher in the Texas
Wesleyan college. On tho ODD ult., Miss
Murphy, on entering the school room
found on her desk 6. note reading as follows
Pm on (blank) side, but don't want to

SENT Miss Murphy had reason to know
that she had enemies, for lately she has
been the recipient of anonymous notes con
tanning threats. The blinds of the win
doWs of the house have been turned seye
raj times at night when she was in the
parlor. She put the note in her pocket and
resolved to heed its warning.
THAT at, ernOOn at three o'clock there
was knock at the schnol door an when
the liGtle girl answered it mgr, boy
handed her large pastebOard box for M 1885,
Murphy and vanished. She opaned the
box and found it contained several pounds
of fine French ca dy and bore card with
the genuine signature of particular gen.
tleman friend of hers.
''She handed the box to Professor White,
principal of the college, and said nothing
to her father until last Saturday, when
Prof. White informed her that an analy-
sis showed that there was large amount
of arsenic in the candy. Then Miss Muir
ply went to her father and told the story,
and ne put the box in the hands of
druggist, who pronounced the arsenic
sufficient to kill several persons.
The affair has been kept quiet. Miss
Murphy IS the leading lady in an amateur

has received anonymous letters warning
her not to appear aud threatening her with

GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH
LINES.

The advocates of the purchase by the
Government of the telegraph lines and run
ming them cheaply in connection with the
postal system, will not extract much en-
enlargement from the annual report of
the government telegraph lines run by the
Canadian government. The report shows
that the lines built cost nearly $500 600.
The expenditures last year were 500 900
The receipts were $27 900, showing less
of over fifty per cent. In British Columbia
the lines cost $4,000. The expenditure
last year was $50, 900 and the revenue
$4,000. The advocates of governu ent
telegraph have mostly quoted their figures
