He Tries 20 shoot Lawyer John Roesch
in His Home.
A New York dispatch says: Charles A.
DOerner tried to shoot ex-Alderman John
Roesch, of Brooklyn, Yesterday after
noon. 1t is believed he was temporarily
insane.
DOerner is German, forty six years Of
age. He lives with his wife and three
children at No. 204 South First street,
Williamsburg. He is an old Pinkerton
man and now a special officer in the Fifth
precinct.
John ROcsch is one of the most promi-
nent lawyers in Williamsburg. He lives
at No. 2N2 MOntrosc avenue. Mr. Ncesch
and Officer DOerEer for several years
have been warm frienHa.

Mr. Rocsch noticed something MAS amiss
with his friend.
"lIello, Doerncr," said lie lawyer,
"What's wrong ~ Norw er eyed Mr.
Roesch steadily for L minute before re-
plying.
Il might as well be dead " he said, but
you've got 10 go first" As he spoke lie
drew from his overcoat pocket a 3S Galore
revolver, aimed it At Mr. Roesch's breast
and fired. The latter swayed TO the left
and escaped the bullet
AS the man raised the weapon for an
| other shot Mr.. ROesch grabbed his arm

the lawyer, hastened in. The two men
succeeded in disarming the officer.
Doerner fought with maniacal strength.
Officer Dipperman heard the pistol shots

TWO DAYS OVERDUE.
Some ANXIETY Felt for the Big Steamer
City of Paris.
Durham.

Some Anxiety Felt for the Big Steamer
City of Paris.
A New York special of yesterday says:
The big Inman Line steamship City OF
Paris, which broke the record for mai
den voyages, and again the record be-
tween Liverpool and this port, is two
days overdue. She carries large num-
Der OF distinguished passengers, among
whom are the well known Texan tom"
Ochiltree, Nine. Patti, Signor Nicolini,
Signor Arditti and other noted members
of the great prima donna's company be-
sides W. J. Atkins, Charles f. Peabody
and William Enright.
Never before has the graceful steamer
been so long overdue. She is, in fact, one
Of the most regular of the liners. The
greatest anxiety concerning her safety
is felt. a number Of the friends Of those
on board called yesterday at the office of
the steamship cOmpany's agents, Peter
W right Il Sons, No. 6 Bowling Green,
and Inquired anXiously about the vessel.
Al one time there was a group Of at
least a dozen persons collected in the
Office discussing the steamers delay.
The agents assured the inquiring ones
TIL the steamship and all aboard would
arrive all right. They felt sanguine that
no serious harm had befallen her, and
attributed her delay to the storms and
head winds which are now raging on the
Atlantic, and which have caused nearly
every vessel due in this port within the
past week to he from one to five days
overdue.
The agents pointed out the case Of the
Egyptian Monarch, which arrived yes
terday five days overdue, having met
with terrible gales and heavy seas all
the way across. She was forced to put
into Halifax Sunday morning to replen-
ish her coal supply, and when she came
into port she was badly battered up.
The Egyptian Monarch is as stanch a
vessel as any which plies from this port,
but the storm came nearly laundering
her
The City Of Paris was caught in this
storm, as she left port shortly after the
Monarch. The latter's captain reported
that the storm burst upon his vessel with
hurricane force December IS in latitude
1929, longitude 6.
The Inman liner was due in this To-
cality OF the 2Sth. She must have run
right iuto the storm aud experienced
the full 0rce Of the lig blow. If any
harm has overtaken her it was probably
during this tremendous storm
The City of Paris is motel for her
propensity TO rise astern when running
in heavy seas. This causes her propell
ers to lift out of the water and race" at
full speed.
The strain upon the engines is thereby
doubled, and increases the chances of a
breakdown. Her agents have said be-
fore that this was the greatest source of
danger which menaced the vessel in
heavy weather.
She is a twin-screw steamer, and pro-
ded with double sets of engines, located
on the ports and starboard sides. The
engines arein separate watertight COM
partments, so that in case one engine

The Story About Hunter Dying ]:
No Good.
He Still Lives and the Doctors Do Ne
Fear Fatal Results.
ENGINEER WHO HAD A CLOSE CALI
All the Henderson Doctors Are W 18th Him
and They Hope That He Will
Pull Through.

Mr.. F. l.. Hunter, engineer on the pas
sengcr train Of the Durham and Northern
railroad, had a singular experience yes
terday morning, which caused much
alarm among his friends and created
much excitement in Henderson, where
he happened to be at the time.
Rising in the morning to ali appear
ances we'll man, he went to the office
and commenced the usual preparations
for his days run. While thus occupied
he was seized with sudden attack of
faintness and general giving away of his
entire system that completely oVercame
him and left him seemingly a dead man.
There was a rush for drugs and doc
tors, who labored for some time to little
purpose on the almost lifeIess man.
Rumors reached here that he was dead,
substitute was placed in charge of his
engine, and the question of filing his
place was being seriously considered by
the railroad officials. The news comes
this morning, however, that he has tri-
umpbed over the strange sickness and
pulled through by close shave.
Mr.. Hunter is young man, good
engineer and much liked by all who
know him. The news of his improved
condition will be read with interest and
pleasure by all people in and out Of
Durham.

broke down she could make port at a
slightly reduced speed with tie other
engine alone in operation.
In size the City of Paris is the largest
of the Inman feet and one of the finest
and safest passenger vessels af1oat. She
has numerous water tight compartments
and collision bulkheads.
In the event of both her engines break
ing down or losing both screws the City
Of Paris masts can carry a spread of
canvas sufiicien to bring her into port.
Last March her starboard engines
broke down, and a heavy steel bar, tons
in weight, crushed through.the stee.hull,
puncturing big hole in her side below
the water line. The compartment filled
with water, but the vessel made port
without difficulty.
The commander, Captain Frederick
Watkins, is a veteran sea captain, and
has been in charge Of the City Of Paris
since she was launched. At midnight
the overdue steamer had not been re-
ported off Fire Island.

MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS.
\ Suit Against the Publishers of Her
Memoirs.

New YORK, Dec. 31.-The superior
court of this city has sustained the de-
murrer to the complaint Of Mrs. Varina
Jefferson Davis, widow of Jefferson Davis
in the action against Robert Belford and
Edward Lange. The demurrer was on
the ground that she had improperly joined
causes Of action in her complaint. Mrs
Davis made contract on March 4, 1890
in which she agreed to write two volumns
of memoirs Of her husband which Bel
ford was to publish for six years, she re-
ceiYing 12l per cent on the retail price of
the books sold. She says that Lange
agreed 10 give a bond of $4,000, that
Belford would keep the agreement. The
book was published last March, and three
months after RelfOrd made statement
showing that &4,001 was credited 10 her
She alleged that BelfOrd is now insolvent
and he and Lange have tried to cOnstrain
her to assign the contracts. She asked
for $4,O0l as against BelfOrd, and $4,000
from Lange as liquidated damages, and a
decree declaring the contract broken, ard
an injunction to prevent Belford from as
signing the contract to others.
