from pile of rubbish, the iron drawer
which was taken from Coutant's safe

The republicans Of the Legislature,
responding to public sentiment and
making the best use of their oppor-
tunity, have named William M. Ev-
arts for United States senator. The
selection commends itself to the in
telligence and civic pride of our peo-
pie, quite Independent of party lines.
They realize that it summons to the
greatest of American forums leader
of national reputation whose lofty
character commits him to an exalted
conception of significance of the SEN
atorial office, and whose brilliant ca
reer attests that he will not only rem
der good faithful service, but redec

wealth.-N. Y. Tribune. d.

The Irish dynamiters of New York
induced Capt. Thohas Phelan, snper-
intendent of the Kansas City work
house, to come on to New York,
and on his arrival in O'Donovan
Rossa's office on Friday, one of them
committed a brutal assault upon
him with a knife. He received twelve
stabs, but rushed into the street and
it is thought will recover. His as
saiIant also rushed out and endeav-
ored to escape but was arrested,
with blood on his hands and cloth
ing. The reason of the attempt to
murder Phelan was the belief that he
has proved a traitor to the cause of
United Ireland.

most brilliant and exemplary of them
all, not the eapitnlation of Fort Don
