At.cnoDtPd Murder.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. Cone of the
most sensational attempts at murder,
with robbery as an incentive, that has
ever taken place in this city, occurred
last evening at the residence g. Rev.
d. Cooper, pastor of the Memorial
Presbyterian church, one of the most
fashionable in the city. While sitting
in his study at his home a caller who
gave his name US Mr.. Wilkinson was
announced. lie desired private in
terview with the reverend gentleman,
which was accorded him. Alter an in
terval of five minutes the family were
startled by hearing a struggle and
cries Of murder mingled with cntrcat-
les for help. Frank z. Boughton, who
was in the house, rushed to Mr. Coop
per's assistance and found him strug-
Cling desperately with the stranger,
who was trying to use a revolver.
Wilkinson fired the revolver once, the
ball grazing one of Mr.. Coopcr's fingers
and narrowly missing his head. After
fierce struggle the desperate robbcr
was pinned to the wall by his two ad-
versaries and held there until the po-
lice arrived and took him to the sta
ton. There he gave his name as Will
kinson, but refused to make any other
statement. When Mr. Cooper had re-
gained his composure, after the desper-
ate struggle, he stated that Wilkinson
had demanded a sum of money from
him, which being refused caused the
stranger to attack him as related.

MARRIAGE IN CHISA.-We seldom hear in
China OF d broken engagement. That the
chief part of Chinese marriage in the az
rival of the bride at the house of the groom is
illustrated again by the fact that the sons are
often married without being present at their
own weddings. II is not believed 10 be fortu-
nate to change the wedding day when once
decided. Ii the future husband, therefore,
happens TO be called away OF the wedding
day the marriage takes place by sending the
bride Il his house.
Chinese law recognizes seven grounds for
divorce from woman-childleSs, improper
conduct, neglect Of the parent Of the husband,
tendency to steal, jealousy and incurlble
disease. \ natural consequence of the i'm
portancc attached in China to male heirs is
that where they are absent the husband mar
ries a co-wife. This, however, is not general
and is limited to families Of wealth. The bad
results of the system are recognized by the
Chinese themselves. The practical Chinese.
therefore, have adopted more simple way OF
obtaining heirs-the adoption of children who
belong to side branches of the family. In
this way the family line is kept intact. In
the absence Of male descendants in the side
branches of the family the sons OF strangers
are adopted. The Chinese prefer this method
to marrying second wives.
