lington system. For some time he

ATTEMPT AT MURDER
Is the Charge Now Made Against Sanford
Wood OF Attleboro.

ATTLEBoRo, Mass, Sept 27.-Sanford Il.
Wood, who was arrested Monday upon a
charge Of asssulting his wife, Mary Wood,
and given his liberty until Saturday upon
furnishing a small bond, was rearrested
Yesterday afternoon. The second warrant
erved upon Wood alleges that he as
,aulted his wife with intent to kill.
Arthur B. Pierce, brother-in-law OF
Mrs. Wood, has taken considerable inter
est In the case, and presented the evidence
gained TO Judge Read for his considera-
ton, and asked for the issuing of a war
rant charging Wood with a serious offense.
Judge Read considered the points brought
out and issued the document.
The prisoner was taken to Mansfield and
arraigned before Judge Reed. He was
held In $1,000 for trial and was taken to
Taunton Jail. The case will be heard here
Saturday.
Since the circumstances concerning the
attempt made upon Mrs. Woods life be-
came public property, the case has taken a
marked turn, which makes IL look serious
for the man under arrest. Miss Mary
Phelps, an Attleboro school teacher. was
in the house at the time the attempt was
made upon Mrs. Woods life, and her testi-
mony will have great weight against the
accused.
Mr.. Wood refuses to say anything re-
garding the charges TO the reporters. He
denied that Mrs. Wood accused him of
trying TO chloroform her on the morning
of the affair. He has made contradictory
statements a out this, however.

The band concert that was set down for
last evening missed fire. The hornblowers,
tooters and drummers failed to put in an
appearance. A crowd of large dimensions
had atbered to hear the music that had
been promised but the crowd waited in
vain for the sweet sounds that soothe
alike the breast OF civilized and savage.

COMMON COUNCIL.
Liable 10 be an Interest
ing Meeting Tonight.
INTERSTATE IN TROUBLE.
Callmen Want More Pay-Depart'
ments Want Money.

An adjourned meeting OF the Common
eral matters OF importance will be consid-
cred. Finances are likely to come in for
a considerable share OF attention, for not
withstanding the fact that liberal appro-
priations were made last January for all
the departments, the most of them have
expended them I'm haphazard fashion
and now they are crying for more.
Railroad franchises are also likely to be
considered and doubtless they will en-
gross some considerable share of atton-
tion.
A petition is I'm the hands OF the Com.
mittee on Railroads to allow the Inter
state Company to abandon certain fran
chises In several streets OF this city which
were granted to II In July, 1891.
The conditions OF these franchises were
that they should be equipped and In op-
Grafton within two years and bond of
10000 was demanded and exacted by the
City Council.
BY the terms OF the ordinance the road
has not only forfeited the franchises II
asks to be allowed to abandon but IL Is
the duty of the proper city officials to de-
mand that the requirements OF the bond
be fulfilled.
No doubt the public park matter will
bob up in some shape or other, but how 1t
can amount to anything is not very clear
at present.
The Committee on Firo Department is
expected to report on the increase OF pay
for the call men. This Is a matter which
should have had attention some months
ago.
Taken all In all it is likely to be an I'M
portant meeting.

Adams, Miller and O'Reilly and Council
men Delany, O'Brien and Gillian, together
with City Treasurer Frank NJ. Bates and

dress and after an informal talk
over their plans the delegations de-
cided that they would have no
opportunity to accept the hospitalities OF
the city today, but would gladly avail
themselves OF that opportunity tomorrow.
Their plans for today included visit to
the mills OF the Slater Cotton Company
the DunnelLManufacturing Company, the
tannories and Cattanach's distillery.
Shortly before IL o'clack they left the
Mayors office and under the guidance OF
Messrs. Tiepke and Brazeau proceeded on
their investigation.
The delegation expressed themselves as
highly pleased and benefited and were
very grateful for the courtesies shown
them in all places by the officials OF the
State and the different cities and also by
the manufacturers whose establishments
they have visited.

no public monument had been erected to
the memory of Mr.. Corliss.

Department and the water works tomor-
row. After the visit a lunch will be
served at Havens' Nile room.
