 TROY, N. Y., Dec. S.-As Hon. Edward Murphy, jr., chairman of the state demo- cratic committee and ex-mayor of this city, was entering his residence on Fifth avenue this evening a man struck him on the neck with hatchet. MT. Murphy dodged and did not receive the full force of the blow, only a slight bruise being made. MT. Murphy and two men chased the assailant and he was captured after throwing the hatchet in store door. He was turned over to policeman. The man gave lis name as Daniel Murphy, laborer. He was recently released from the state asylum for insane at Poughkeepsie, where he has been confined since July. The prisoner denies having tried to kill the ex-mayor and charges that he himself was assaulted. When MT. Murphy was struck he hit his assailant heavy blow in the face before the latter started to run. The assault created the utm ost excitement for few hours and the widest reports were spread about the city. At the station house Mr. Murphy asked his assailant if he (Murphy) had ever done anything to him and the crank replied 'Oh, my God, mo-" A servant in MT. Murphy's house says the man came there about 10 o'clock in the morning and inquired what time MT. Mur- phy came home and which way he came. He was at MT.

Son of Joaquin Miller Failing to
 Make a Living at Woodchopping
 Tries His Hand fn the Highway
 Robbery Business - His Identity
 only Recently Disclosed.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8.-Joseph Mckay, who is in jail at Ukiah, Cal, charged with stage robbery, has been found to be the son of Joaquin Miller, the "poet of the Sierras." The real name of the young man is Harry Miller. He is twenty-two years of age and is the son of the poet and the latter's first wife, Minnie Myrtle. On November 15 the Ukiah and Eureka stage was held up eighteen miles from Ukiah by masked man armed with a rifle. The driver, at the robbers demand, threw out the express box. The robber then demanded the mail bags. These were inside the stage and the driver got down to hand them out The stage was heading up grade and the horses kept backing so that the driver obtained the highway and permission to drive to a level place. Instead of stopping when he reached the top of the hill the driver lashed the horses and dashed away out of danger. On reaching Ukiah the driver noticed the sheriff who started in pursuit of the robber. He found the empty treasure box and learned that farm house had been robbed few days previously of rife and other articles like those in the possession of the masked highwaymen. The sheriff followed the trails to Hopland, nineteen miles south, and learned that Mil Ter had been cutting wood for one Willard and had left four days prior to the stage robbery and returned five days after the robbery. He had obtained his mail from the postoffice and then disappeared. On searching Willard's wood pile the sheriff found letter dated from the Hermitage, Oakland Heights, which is the home of Jo- aquin Miller, and signed "Your brother, George Miller" The letter was addressed to Joseph Mckay. The sheriff followed the fugitive to Santa Rosa and arrested him at the hotel there. Miller, after consider erable persuasion, confessed and took the sheriff to the place where his rifle had been buried. The boys mother had a reputation for intellectual vigor little short of her husbands. She died in New York some yeras ago. Miller says he was hard up, and as there was no money in cutting wood he thought he would try stage rob ping.
 Joaquin Miller himself does not have anything to do with the boy and the latter says his life might have been different, but he never was encouraged to go to school or make anything of himself He is credited with having served sentence in the Portland, Ore., penitentiary for breaking, but his identity was not disclosed until now

AFFAIRS IN EuRoPE.

Gloomy outlook in R Russia-The Po-
 lit1cal Horizon Overcast-The Czar's
 Failure to Visit Emperor William
 Winter Prospects in England.
 WARSAW, Dec. S.-It is learned on good authority that the prestige of N. Vishne- gradsky, the minister of finance, has of late been greatly skaken and that he has be- come exceedingly unpopular amongst the merchants and other commercial classes, who now perceive that the temporary inn provement in the finances has been effected at their expense. The failure of the crops has been terrible blow to his schemes and many of his finest plans have been shattered by this natural calamity.
 The failure of the crops has not been universal. In the Caucasus the harvest was 80 abundant that grain is still rotting at the stations for want of rolling stock to carry it away. The government has tried to remedy this drawback by sending over 2,0OO trucks south, but these will not be sufficient. There is much reason to sup pose that there will be famine next year also. The autumn wheat has been serious ly injured by the rain, and it is very prob ooAo en0e tAo spring Crops III mauv OI tue eastern governments will turn out no bet ter than they did this year. Indeed the outlook in Russia is very gloomy, and everyone is preparing for a very sad win ter.
 The political horizon is also much over cast, especially since the czar passed through Germany without returning the visit of Emperor William. It is stated in official circles that had it not been for a letter received by the czar from the Rus sian minister of finance the former would have met the emperor. In this letter, it is said that Vishnegradsky urged the czar not to visit the Germany emperor, as such an act would give offence to the French government and would be disas- trous to the loan which the government was raising in Paris.
 LONDON, Dec. S.-The Star, reviewing the prospects for the winter, says the British workingmen have hard time be- fore them, and will not bless Mckinley for it, for Americas boycott is -mainlyssan swerable for the bad trade returns. It will cause an increased number of them to remove and decrease in the case,of those fortunate to keep at work. European commercial treaties favorable to England are welcome as set off to the Mckinley legislation.

 A we'll attended meeting of the builders exchange was held last evening, some twenty-five or thirty members being present. A committee was appointed to arrange for banquet to be held in their rooms next Tuesday night. The commit tee consists of Elizur Sperry, David H. Clark, William Kaehrle. John w. Leonard and William Mansfield. The project was considered and such favorable opinions expressed that there is no doubt that the organization will become a branch of the National builders exchange. The annual session of this hourishing association will be held in Cincinnati in February. Last year a committee of the New Haven ex- exchange, consisting of Messrs. Sperry, Clark and J.

This year it is likely that the New Haven lodge will be represented by a | delegation at the annual meeting of the national exchange.
