he had package OF medicine which the Sec

Secretary's son, Frederick w. Seward. also
opposed him; but the stranger, making
feint of departure, suddenly sprang at
Frederick and felled him to the floor with
the butt of a revolver, almost on the same
instant slashing the servant with knife.
He then darted forward and reached the
sick chamber where Secretary Seward was
sitting up in bed. The knife cleaned again
and Mr.. Seward. weak and helpless was
stabbed in the face and neck, but the band
ages that swathed his neck saved him
from mortal wound. As the murderous
intruder retreated he was again intercepted

covered, but his only daughter, who had
witnessed Payne's assault. was so terribly
shaken by the affair that she died not long

ton. 1t was only few years after going
there as a Member of Congress that he
bought the residence, s21 Fifteenth street,
where he lived so many years. This
was about the year 1869. when he was
elected Speaker of the House for the first
time. The house he bought was one OF q
row which had just besn built and was re-
garded at that time as one of the chief
architectural features of the city.
He made his home at S2l Fifteenth street
for over ten years. and then having built
the fine residence fronting on Dupont Circle.
he sold the old house and took possession of
the new one. The death of Garfield an Mr..
Blaine's retirement from public life caused q
change in his plans and he leased his Dupont
Circle house to Mr.. Letter. He was
absent from the city for several years, al
though he spent a portion of one or two
winters there and occupied the house on La

residence, which is owned by the daughter
of the late Representative Scott. of Pennsyl-

James Gillespie Blaine was born on the
31st of January. 1880. at West Brownsville,
Penn. in house built by his great-grand-
father before the War of the Revolution,
which still stands. The Gillespies and Blaines
were people of standing before the Revolu-
ton. Colonel Blaine, who was commissary-
general of the Northern Department of
Washington's army during the Revolution.
was James G. Blaine's great-grandfather.
When eleven years old, he went to live with
uncle, Thomas Ewing, in Ohio, where his
mothers father, Neal Gillespie, an accom-
plished scholar, directed his studies. Later
he attended Washington College, at Wash
ington, Penn. graduating at the age of sew
enteen.
After leaving college he taught school at
Blue Lick Springs, KY. 1t was as profes-
sor in the military school there that he made
teacher from Maine-who afterward became
his wife. Later he went to Philadelphia,
where he taught school and studied law.
But after two years he abandoned law stud
les, went to Maine. and became proprietor
and editor of the Kennebec Journal.
At the birth of the Republican Party he
was delegate to the Philadelphia Conven-
ton in 1856, which nominated Fremont.
After serving as Speaker OF the Maine Leg
islature, he was sent to Congress and began
his National career in 1862, with the out
break of the war. During the Forty first
Forty-second and ForJy-third Congresses ne
was Speaker of the House.
Mr.. Blaine's administration of the Speak
ership is commonly regarded as one OF the
most brilliant and successful in the annals or
the House. He had rare aptitude and equip
ment for the duties of presiding officer, and
his complete mastery of Parliamentary law,
his dexterity and physical endurance, his
rapid dispatch of business, and his firm and
impartial spirit were recognized on all sides.
1t was during his occupancy OF the Speak
er's chair in 1874 that he took the floor and
succeeded in defeating the passage OF the
original Force bill"
The political revulsion of 1874 placed the
Democrats in control of the House, and Mr..
Blaine became the leader OF the minority.
The session preceding the Presidential con-
test Of 1876 was period of stormy and We
hement contention. On the 81 OF May
resolution was adopted in the House TO IN :
vestigate an alleged purchase by the Union
Pacific Railroad Company of certain ponds
of the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad
Company. 1t soon became evident that the
investigation was aimed at Mr.. Blaine. An
extended business correspondence on his
part with Warren Fisher, of Boston, run
ming through years and relating to various
transactions, had fallen into the hands OF
clerk named MuligaD, and it was alleged
that the production OF this correspondents
would confirm the imputation against Mr.
Blaine. When Mulligan was summoned to

M. BLAINE's PROPERTY.
