He was 8 very dirty looking boy, and told me his name was Alexander Murdock and that he came from Boston, and had been tramping for some length of time. asked him where his parents lived and he said that his father was dead, but he gave me his mothers address in Bos- ton and also that of his brother, whom he said was a blacksmith in the same place. He told me that he wanted to go home, as he did not find tramping very good business, and said that would telegraph to his folks, but days to work. I wrote, however, to the chief of police in Boston and asked him to notify the boys mother and brother and see whether they wanted the boy held until they sent for him, or let him go. Early in the week got the following reply to my letter:
 BOSTON, Mass, Oct 2S 1885.
 Dear Sir-The family of Alexander Mu-dock will send for him. Yours respectfully,
 CYRUS SMALL, Chief of Police.
 This explains why the boy was held, and yesterday, thinking that the lookup was not quite the place for the boy to stay, I sent him to the almshouse and agan wrote to Bos- ton to see how much longer they want him held

 NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Ferdinand Ward re- fused to see reporters to-day It was said that he was cheerful and seemed relieved at the ending of the suspense in which he has been held for some time past Considerable interest has been created by Wards state ment last night while awaiting the return of the jury. ''I am convinced he said, 'that this case has been pushed for the purpose of stopping any further investigations. If this IS the scheme it won't work, because I have a great many letters beside those that have been published that will prove interesting to many persons and I know good deal that has not yet been made public. D Ward has requested Werden Kiernan to be ready to take him to Sing Sing imme- d1ateIy after sentence is pronounced as it is expected to be. He asked this as a special favor and the warden promised to do as de- sired.
 MT. Fish passed the day in his room at the Murray Hill Hotel. He seems much pleased at the verdict in shows that the jury believed him, though convict. The district attorney said to-day that the question of trying Ward on the six other indictments pending against him were now under consideration The matter would not be decided before Satur- day.

 PARIS, Oct. 29.-Considerable excitement was created here to-day by an attempt to as sassinate M. de Freycinet, the French minis ter of foreign affairs. After attending Cab inet meeting M. de Freyeinet took 8 drive over the Pont Concorde at noon and while returning to the building occupied by the ministry of foreign affairs stepped out into the roadway and fired a pistol directly at the carriage in which he was seated. For tunately the shot was harmless, and before the culprit could fire again he was arrested.
 When the assassin was examined at the police station he confessed that he did not know NJ. de Freycinet personally and refused to give his name or occupation. He looks like mechanic of superior intelligence and appears to be of Italian origin.
 The man who attempted to assassinate M. de Freycinet to-day is CoIsican. He de- clares that his assault upon the premier was for personal revenge and in no way connect ed with politics. He promises to explain further tomorrow. He denies that he is in sane. Meanwhile he demands the services of a lawyer to defend him and doctor to examine his mental condition
