Iuxyer-Ais Life saved BY Mis-.
AeIs-Asxaiiant Arrested.

Last night about O'Clock, Jesse
Bal'cock. one-lsggsd man. attempted
to shoot Benjamin F. Gowen. on Canal
ST.. IN front OF the Lion Clothing house.
Gowen was standing in front OF the
stairway, north or the clothing store.
With woman by his SIDE, when Bah
eck approached and asked:
what are You doing with my wife,"
ut 10 not your wife," answered
Gowen.
you're q liar" exclaimed Babcock,
at the same time drawing . revolver
from his pocket. '.You have ruined
my home and am going to blow your
brains out"
With this remark Babcock placed a
centerire, 80 cahbre English bull dog
revolver At Gowan's head and pulled
the trigger. The cartridge failed to ex-
piode. He was about to press the
trigger again, when the woman who
proved to be Babcock's wife, sprang
between the men aud cried:
'For Gods sake. Jesse, don't shoot"
otfpiihei A~uiifiCt Hftiltu WAS near
the spot and arrested Babcock before
he could carry out his intentions. AT
police headquarters he said that ne had
traded his watch for the pistol and was
determined to kill Gowan, who had
aiienated his wife's affections and
ruined his happiness forever. He said
he had failed in his designs in tins at
tempt, but would vet kill him. 1t
was only by . miracle that Gowan
escaped alive. The spring which pro-
pels the hammer of tho revolver WAS
very weak and buta slight dent in the
cap OF the cartridge was made. There
isn't the slightest doubt but that Bah
cock fully premeditatedt the slaughter of
the one whom he suspected as being
responsible for his domestic difficult
ties.
Babcock was locked up on the charge
of deadly assault.

He Chose 90 Perish for the Sake OF His
COmrade.
In heartIess Paris which, 10 foreign eyes
Seems made Of mirrors, gaslight and display.
A splendid buildings walls began 20 rise,
Ascending stone by stone from day 10 day.
High and more high the pile was builded well,
And scores Of labOrers were busy there,
When suddenly fragile staging fell,
Suspended by their hands to one slight hold
That bent and creaked beneath their sudden
weight
One worn with TOLL and growing gray and old;
One mere boy, just reaching mans estate.
Yet with q hero's SOUL Alone and young,
Were IL not well to yield his sin yie life,
On which 10 parent leaned, no children clung,
And save the other 70 his babes and wife?
He saw that deliverance could be brought
The trail support they grasred must surely break,
And In that shu 1dering moments fash Of thought
He chose to perish for his comrades sake.
With bravery such as heroes seldom know,
lis right, said he, and. lOosing his strong grip,
Dropped ike a stone upon the stones below,
And lay there dead, the smile still on his lip.
What though no laurels grow his grave above,
And Ger his name no soul ptnred shaft may rise,
To the sweet spirit OF unselhsh love
Was not his life glorious sacrifice?
