Vincent, living at No. 204 North Seventh street.

him much suffering even though they do not
prove fatal. The AK and the handle alike were
as bloody as though they had been soaked in a

full; yet the attending surgeons thought there
was a probability of his recovery. His mind is
undoubtedly out of balance. There vas 10
cauSa for the act.

Washington Special.
Postmaster general Villas is making a still hunt
TO learn who it was gave away his circular to
Democratic members Of Congress on the subject
of removing Republican postmasters, which was
marked confidential" He at first suspected
one of two Democratic representatives from
Ohio. who were in the city at the time the eircu
lar became public, but as the letter was sent to
many representatives from other States, the
Postmaster general sees that there we're other
ways in which it could get out He has not evil
denee enough to prove the guilt of any one, but
he knows that the circular was only sent TO the
Democratic senator's and representatives from
New York. Ohio, Indiana. and one or two other
States. and that one OF these must be the guilty
person. Mr.. Villas has found out that it is i'm
peratively necessary to avoid writing letters.
The press has given the letter a wide circulation,
and there will be no need of sending il to other
Democratic congressman.
