WOODSTOCK, LII, July 1B.-Jim Dacey,
the murderer of Alderman 0ayhor, who
is to he hanged to, day, made deBperate
attempt at suicide yesterday AFTERNOON.
He had n pair OF large shears hidden in
the mattress of his bed, and getting them
ont nttemptt to stab hiniaclf He was 80

him before he could be overpowered.
After this Dacey broke one of the bed

Chicago.
The prisoner was exceedingly violent
during the night. He drove priest from
his cell with his club and spent his time
in giving vent to the vilest imprecntionH.
An extra guard was placed over him but
1t was afterwards found necessary TO bind
with leather straps.
A political feud in the "Bloody Ninth"
ward of Chicago, noted for the bitterness
with which its aldermanic elections have
been carried on, resulted in the murder
of Alderman Michael Gaynor by James
Dacey. Dacey was worker of some
reputation in the ward. He had always
been one Of Gaynor's firmest adherents
and the two were good friends
until Alderman John Foley died
and the time came to choose his
successor. Dacey wanted James Murray "a
plumber, to, have the noreiaation, but
Gaynor took up the case Of W. j..
Mahoney. The fight which followed was
bitter in the extreme. The primaries
were held week before the regular cleo
ton and Dacey was so abusive at the
polls that Gaynor had him arrested and
locked up. Next day he was fined and
bis hatred of the alderman increased
He is said to have made the threat that if
Murray was beaten at the election ''some-
body would be killed" He was an
eccentric fellow and nobody thought that
he would carry the threat into execution.
Mnhoney was successful at the election
which occurred on May 18th, 1884. That
night Gaynor, the successful candidate
and o number of other politicians were
drinking in Foley's saloon on South Hal
stead street. AS they stood at the bar
Dacey entered. He walked up tv Gaynor
and offered his hand. 81 wont shake
hands with you," said the alderman, "but
you can drink with us If you
wish.' With this remark Gaynor
turned laughingly away. For q second
Dacey stood motionless, then hc drew q
revolver from his pocket and fired bullet
into the back of Gaynor's head. The
wound proved fatal. After II days of in
tense suffering Gaynor died.
Tue feeling was very strong against
Dacey and he was secreted by the police
and through the intervention of lis at.
torneys was given trial here.
Dacey was convicted Of murder, but the
original sentence was stayed to determine
the question of his sanity. He was ad.
judged sane by n medical commission
and il was ordered that he should be
hanged to-day.
Dacey was hanged at 1895 O'clock.

The governorship of Delaware would be
an office OF honor only were 1t not that
| there are but six important el 'ctive county
officers In the State, all others being filled
by appointment. The governor Is paid
salary Of $4,000. The candidate OF the
salisbury faction is ex-Congressman Blgks,
He is very rich man, and last year made
a clean S5O, 900 from his peach orchard Is
alone. He is very genial gentleman, hut
the fact that he voted for and took the
SALARY grab" when he was n Congressman
has to some extent interfered with his ad-
vancement heretofore. The nomination is
generally conceded TO New Castle county,
where Mr.. Biggs lives, but he has two oppo-
nents, either OF whom feelc surer OF more
New Castle county delegates than he does.
William Herbert, the ex-sheriff, who years
ago made himself popular by personally
stopping a prize-aght near Wilmington
has made a thorough canvass OF the
county, and will have a strong backing from
the city OF Wilmington and the New Castle
hundreds. He has not announced himself
for either Gray or Lore, but has been known
In years past as stanch Bayard man. 1t
Is now charged that he has made q COM
hinatlon with Blggs, by which the stronger
OF the two, when noses are counted at the
convention, is to support the other. DR.,
John j. Black, Senator Gray's brother-in-
law, who lives at New Castle, was at one
time candidate for the nomination; but
he has withdrawn from the contest, and the
Bayard- Gray candidate IL now L. Il. Cochran,
Clerk Of the Peace OF New Castle county.
MIR. Cochran is very popular man, has
been a member OF the Legislature, and, II
he should be successful. would give up ths.
most profitable Office In the State but as he
is rich that will not be likely to cause him
any Inconvenience.
Mr.. Blggs friends expect to get most OF
their strength from Sussex and Kent eoun-
ties. Mr.. Herbert's friends feel confident OF
securing the largest number Of votes from
New Castle county, IL not a majority.
Mr.. Cochrans friends, however, deny that
Mr.. Herbert can get majority OF the New
Castle county delegates, and say that Mr..
Cochran will have as many If not more than
the ex-sheriff. Mr.. Walcott is expected to
carry the Kent delegates for Mr.. Cochran,
and with the natural Gray strength In
Sussex, hope to nominate him.
There is a possibility that should Mr..
Blggs be beaten, Mr.. Lore will be renomi-
mated for Congress, and will accept. This
would get him out Of the way. HIS renom-
tnation would, however, break the cast-iron
two-term and county-rotation rule, which
has never yet been done by the Democrats.
Taken altogether, the fight is pretty one,
and as bitter as it is interesting. The Re-
publicans will not nominate a State or
county ticket, but will work with the
temperance people, who already have u
ticket In the field

ANNAPoLIs, MD, July 15.-The single
scull races this afternoon at Lake Ople-
ton, Bay Ridge, near Annapolis, were
magnificent specimens of athletic exercise
| and nautical skill. The lake was used
for the first time to-day aa a scull raoinV
ground, and proved eminently suitable.
Although q BtiH breeze blew, and the rain
beat part of the time, the lake, which is
an arm of the Chesapeake bay, remained
IN suitable condition for the race.
II was not until near 9 O'Clock that the
first boat pulled out from tho shore. Tic
occupant was Wallace Ross of 81. John,
New Brunswick. He spun up the lake TO

time the contestants started, Ross and
Teemer togethers Ritz half length be-
hind. Away they shot like arrows, Ross
in the lead, giving 3S strokes TO the
minute. This he maintained, and the
first three quarters of mile was made in
five minutes. On the down turn
Teemer went to the front, and made
the mile-and n. half stake full
length ahead of Ross. In The turn he
faltered and Ross dexterously rounded
the stake and started on the third quarter
even. Ritz was now far behind, position
he maintained until the last. coming in
seven lengths late. But, meanwhile, Ross
and Teemer were driving over tue course
like the wind. At 200 yards of the finish
Teemer was three lengths behind Ross,
when he sputted and drew up to Ross,
until he fairly Tapped him but he had
begun his spurt too late. There was not
room enough to run, and Ross came in
length ahead. Time-19;00. Distance
Three miles.
The second race took place right on

The CrawSord-Di,Eo Suit.

LONDON, July 10 The rehearing in
the divorce case of Crawford against
Crawford and Dixie reopened by the
Queens proctor was begun to-day. Sir
Charles Dixie, the correspondent, WINS
present, as also were Mrs. Crawford and
her sister. Tho court room was crowded.
The counsel for the Queens proctor in
opening the case asserted that the SER
wants mentioned by Mrs. Crawford in her
confession as being present or witnessing
her meeting with Sir Charles Dixie Mt his
house or elsewhere did not confirm Mrs.
Crawford's statements in any particular.
Sarah, the maid, who Mrs. Crawford said
dressed her in Sir Charles apartments
after his departure from the appointment
there denied, the counsel said that she
never did as Mrs. Crawford alleged. The
French woman Fanny who, Mrs. Crawford
conf, ssed, brought her into relations with
Sir Charles Dixie, had counsel admitted,
disappeared but Sir Charles Dixie him
self would testify and show that
he was not with Mrs. Crawford
on the dates she alleged he was in
company with her and Fanny. The
woman who left the house in Warren
street, wherein Mrs. Crawford said she
met Sir Charles, would show that the re-
spondent never slept there as alleged.
Sir Charles Dilke's coachman would show
that he never stayed long ut Mrs.
Crawford's house waiting for his
master to terminate his visits to
Mrs. Crawford. The coachman would
further testify that he could have
seen if anything wrong had been
done in the room where Mrs. Crawford
received Sir Charles in her own house, as
the coachman from his box could easily
see over the whole area of the room. A
ooncensus of opinion makes of the re-
hearsing strong attempt TO whitewash
Sir Charles Dixie, Mrs. Crawford adhered
to every statement made in her confession.

A PersOnai Encounter fetyveen
Representative Cobb and Laird.

Sbbb kAAAu u1hNhue
WASHINGTON, July l6.-Quite sensa-
tion was created in the House afternoon
by personal encounter between Repre-
sentatives Cobb Qnd.) and Laird (Neb.
growing ont of the charges made by the
former ON the floor of the House to the
effect that the Nebraska member had been
concerned in land ring. ....s
Representative Payson I'll. q member
of the public land committee, was sx-
planning TO Representative Giliillan the
effect of certain Senate amendments TO a
bill intended to protect the rights OF
homestead settlers, when Representative
In rd leaned from his seat toward the
party and asked ''Why 40 moi
you fellows (referring TO the public lands
committee) do something TO break up the
land rings in the south instead OF raiding
us in the north ?n
Mr.. Payson replied that that was what
the committee was endeavoring to do.
Mr.. Cobb undertook TO defend the COM
mittee of which he was the chairman and
an angry passage occurred between him
and Nj. Laird which ended by the latter
gentleman calling the former liar.
Witnesses say that Mr. Cobb declared
that Mr.. Laird did not dare to come out
side and repeat his language.
MI. Laird is said to have replied that
tho gentleman could not get ont soon
enough for him. With this the pair
started through the lobby into the base
ment.
Some one called Mr.. Payson's atten.
ton to their exit with the statement
that they were going outside to
fight it out, Thereupon Mr.. PaysCn
hurried through the doorway and, coming
up with the would-be combatants on the
stairway, caught MIR. Cobb by the
collar and demonstrated with him
for pursuing so boyish and foolish a
course. lie succeeded in getting Mr.. Cobb
to retrace his steps 30 far as the west door Of
the lobby, Mr.. Laird following, when the
controversy broke out afresh. Recurring
to the charges Mr.. Cobb had made against
him in n speech several weeks ago, Mr..
Laird nngrily declared that he (Cobb)
was I'd liar"
Mr.. Cobb rejoined that Mr.. Laird was
a Sd perjurer," but the words had
hardly pissed his lips before Mr.. Laird
struck him heavy blow on the mouth
and nose.
A stream of blood trickled down Mr..
Cobb's face, and he was thrown backward
against the doorway.
A crowd which had collected inter
posed at this juncture, and the
cOmbatants separated MIR. Laird
taking his seat in the House,
and Mr.. Cobb reclining in an
easy chair in the lobby where he WAS sur
rounded by friends.
