Gov. Cleveland Attacked.

While Gov. Cleveland was on his way TO the
capitol building In Albany the other morn
ing he was assaulted In front of the medical
college on Eagle street by Samael Boone Of
Elmira, who struck the governor with his right
hand. The blow was warded of, and the man
repeated his blows several times without hit
ting the governors face. He then darted to-
ward pile of cobble stones, bat was interrupt
ed by DR.. George H. Houghton before he OBJ
tanned the missile. Boone returned to resume
his attack on the governor, when Houghton
seized and held him and the governor deliberate
" resumed his walk without looking around.
Booen was released and went quickly to his
boarding house on Lancaster street where
he was arrested shortly afterward. The
cause OF the assault was Gov. Cleveland's
refusal to grant pardon 20 brother OF Boone's
Boone was seen In jail, where he was placed In a
room with man and two boys. He was very
willing to talk Of the matter. He spoke Of a
sermon preached by Rev. Mr.. Lindsay on the
case, stated that his wife was dying, and that
the governor had not done right In not grant
ing the pardon. He seems extremely nervous.
The governor says he was rather surprised at
the assault and could have easily overpowered
the man, but only wanted to keep off his blows.
He had no feeling about the matter In any
way, except sorrow that Mrs. Boone was so
troubled and sick over her brothers imprison-
ment Upon that matter he had acted In the
same manner as he did with all applications
brought before him.

Lynch Law I'm Georgia.

On the morning of October occurred the
murder Of Mrs. Mary III. Davis, In Cherokee
county, Alabama. near Alpin, Chattoga county,
Georgia. j. K Dorsey, her uncle, and Jane
Wade were arrested tor completely In the
crime. The sequel to the tragedy occurred
Oct q, when Dorsey and Jane Wade were
taken by a mob from Centre Jail and lynched.
About IL 80 p. IN E, mob composed OF nearly
40 men three or four Of whom were masked,
and all armed with shot guns, arrived In Cen
tire. 1t is supposed that they came from Chat
toga county, Georgia having crossed the Coosa
river at Hardwick's ferry, four miles above
Cedar Bluff. the mob proceeded To the jail
very quietly-so quietly In fact, that the citi-
zens of Centre were not disturbed In their
slumoers and the mob met with no opposition.
The sheriff OF Cherokee county was not at
home and his wife, with young brother OF
the sheriff, had charge of the iail. The mob,
having aroused the sheriffs wife, presented
their guns and told her the sooner Dorsey and
Jane Wade were given up the better 1t would
be for. her. Three masked men then seized the
! keys and entered the jail. The other prisoners
| were terribly frightened. The men told them
| to keep quiet, that they wanted none but Dor
sey and Jane Wade. When the cells OF Dorsey
| and the woman were reached they were taken
without difficulty out OF the Jail and placed In
| the buggy. Jane Wade wept bitterly, but
neither she nor Dorsey made any efforts at re-
| sistance.
Three quarters OF mile from town the cav
slcade halted. The buggy containing the two
| culprits was driven under tree, rope was
| placed around the neck OF each and fastened
| TO two limbs OF the same tree. The
buggy was driven from under them and Dorsey
| and Jane Wade were dead In few minutes.
Dorsey's neck was broken. The woman died
of strangulation. The mob left 10 traces Of their
work save the two dead bodies, and these were
| taken 10 the court house A coroner's
INCEST was held, and verdict rendered in &C
| cOrdaDCp with the facts.
j. X. Corsey was "A years OF age. Up TO the
| beginning of the war he was considered one oil
the most prominent citizens OF Cherokee
county. He leaves considerable property.
Jane Wade was 40 years old. She was a woman
OF bad character. Dorsey took up with hel
several years ago, and out OF troubles connect
ed with this arose the murder OF his niece
Mrs. Davis. None Of the mob have as yet beer
identified, and but one person is as yet sus
| pected OF having taken part IL the hanging.

OVERRIDING u.

On the subject of visitors who admin
lister consultations of the highest kind to
invalids, it is not our intention to en-
large here; but critical patients might
have much to say about it. People vary
greatly as to their ideas of the proper
time at which to see their clergy in i'll
ness. We have known some who have
not considered themselves i'll enough to
see their clergyman, and Others who
have thought themselves much too i'll to
see them.
But there are plenty ofzealous laymen
and lavwomen who are always ready to
minister to the spiritual wants OF the in
valid. Against such we have nothing to
say, but it may be wor h while to warn
then that il is dangerous TO arouse in a
patient the spirit of theological repartee.
We would also suggest, that 1t is well to
avoid repeating religious consultations
that have already been administered by
others. A serious-minded person lately
quoted passage of scripture to an in
valid. who promptly replied, 81 was
waiting for that. Yes, it is consoling
text; but you are the twenty-seventb
person who has reminded me of it,
