Troy. \. Y. Jan. 90 Yesterday after
noon one Of the most deliberate attempts
at murder ever witnessed in Troy took
place at the corner Of Broadway and Fifth
avenue. At that hour while Edwin Firth,
well known as the inventor Of horseshoe
machinery # rife gun non being built
at the United States arsenal at West
troy. and Of an axle for carriages, was
passing along the avenue. He was fol-
lowed by a woman heavily yelled who,
coming close TO him at the corner of
Broadway. placed a pistol to the back Of
his neck and fired. Mr.. Firth fell, and
the woman, making no effort to es.ape
stood over him. pistol in hand, until she
was dismmed and her victim placed in
Ia carriage ard hurriedly brought
to police headquarters. Detect
i've Ford appeared upon the
scene Immediately after the shooting and
the woman surrendered 10 him, admitting
that she fired the shot Superintendent Of
Police Willard at once recognized the
woman as one who called upon him last
Thursday. when she wanted Firth arrested
for seduction under promise of marriage.
She had no warrant and the POI
lice would not aid her. The
woman then said that she was
from Chicago, where she had met Firth at
intervals during the past two years. Firth
she said, had an office in that building
known as The Bookery.
His wound, the doctors say. will prove
fatal. The ball entered his neck near the
spinal column He is wealthy, married
and has several children.
The woman says her name is Mrs Henry
Warnicke and that before She was mar
ried her name was Minnie McGrath
When seen at the Jail after the shooting
she said: Firth met me in Chicago

children He deceived me and in

me he would be- true 10 me. took his adj

what he intended to do about it, but he
would give me no satisfaction. told him
that bad spent all my money on his ac-
count He wronged me in Chicago.
Then he lettme suddenly. heard he had
come to Troy, and came after him. The
rest you know have spent nearly every
cent of my money to follow him here to
make him right the great wrong he has
done me and my little children. That Is
why the shooting was done.
Mr.. Warnicke during the interview
broke down several times and cried pite-
ously for her little children. She is not
prepossessing, is apparently about 40years
of age, and dresses plainly but neatly.
The shooting caused great excitement
throughout the city, and the wife of the
victim is almost crazy.

A Plea For the Working People.

EDITOR CAPITAL JOURNAL:
Will you please kindly allow space
in your paper for few words In de-
fence of the laboring classes. To
hear and read what is being said
and written in eXtenuation of Sab
bath amusements one would be led
to think that the working classes
were an ignorant, unthinking set Of
people, caring for nothing but phys
ical rest and recreation, regardless
of their own best interests, socially,
morally or spiritually. Now l, as
one of the "Toiling Masses" do
most earnestly protest against such
views. If there is any class of cit
liens to whom the quiet home Sab
bath is q blessing, tits the working
men, women and children. That
day the wife tries to have the house
in order and as pleasant as may be,
for husband Will be at home. The
children look forward to that day as
their day, for papa will be home.
There the husband and father finds
true rest and recreation. But let
him care for none of these, but as
soon as dinner is over he goes to
ball game, concert saloon or other
places of amusement, what rest or
recreation does the wife and chill
dren have? They are deprived of
their just and lawful rights, the
companionship of husband and
father, and | do not belieye that the
laboring classes demand any such
amusement or want it either. | do
not write this to provoke coptro-
versy, but have hoped that some
one would say few words In de-
Ience of the morals of the average |
working men aud women. |
Yours for right and justice

CHANGING PASTURES.
oregon Congregational Shepherds who
will Seek New flOeks to Guard.

Corvallis Times, July 20: Rev. A.
Rogers has rendered his resignation
as pastor of the Congregational
church in this city, to take effect the
latter part Of September. The rev.
erend gentleman has been a resident
of Corvallis for nearly two years
and has endeared himself to his con-
gregation and made many warm
friends among our citizens. The
church will be fortunate if they fill
his place with as popular a pastor.
Mr.. Rogers will remove to Portland,
where he will have supervision of
the Penn Investment Co., an incor-
pOration of eastern capitalists for
investing in Oregon and Washing
ton.
Oregonian July 80: A farewell re-
ception was rendered the Rev. J. f.
Culver, who has been the pastor of
the Congregational church since
December Is, and his wife last night
in that church by the members. A
more pleasant affair could hardly
have been conceived and carried
out. The large audience room was
filed with ladies and gentlemen.
For about half an hour social inter-
course reigned supreme, and then
Rev. c. F. Clapp, general superin-
tendent of Home Mission work for
the Congregational church for Ore
gon. was introduced. He made
some well timed and appropriate
remarks concerning the work of the
church with Mr.. Culyer as pastor.
Concluding his general remarks be
called Mr.. Culver to come forward,
and the latter was escorted to the
platform by Mr.. J. +. Boynton.
The speaker then admonished Mr..
Culver to be more punctual than
ever before; in other words, "watch
out" He then handed the as on
ished clergyman a gold watch, as
token of love and esteem in which
he was held by the members. Re
covering from his surprise, Mr.. Cul
yer made an eloquent and touching
closing by saying that in
what, vcr field Of labor his lot may
be cast IN the years To come, he
would not forget the warm affec.
ton and support extended to him
by this church.
A set Of resolutions were then
read reclting the faithfulness and
earnest work Of the pastor and his
wife during their brief stay, which
were unanimously adopted.
The audience was entertained
with some excellent music by
Messrs. Miller, Owens, Soper and
Floyd, who received a hattering
ovation. After this refreshments
were served and the audience dis
missed.
Rev. J. r. Culver and wife will
leave for Woodburn, Cal, on or
about August 18th, where he has
received a call.
