Attempted Assassination.

The Slipperyrock Signal of last week
contained the following account of an at
tempted assassination in Harrisyille.
A serious shooting affair, which, but tor
slight circumstance, would have resulted
day night, and one of the most cowsrdly
ssssssinations ever attempted was well
nigh perpetrated. The 1end who fired
the bullet IL as guilty of murder as
though his innocent victim lay cold in
| death.
| Oscar Rhodes and William Bingham,
two young men of near this place, have
for some time been paying addresses to a
couple of Harrisville young ladies, and on
Saturday evening started to make their
usual weekly call. They had arrived at
the home Of the young ladies in question
and were putting away their rig. Young
Rhodes was in the stable tying the horse
and had requested Bingham to bring in
/, the robes. He had gone back to the bug
gy, taken out the articles and was just en-
| tering the stable when there was a fash, a
sharp report, and Bingham felt singing
shock on bis left side and tell TO the ground
senseless Rhodes rushed To his assistance
| and managed to conrey him to the house
where it was discovered that the young
man was not hurt, but had been rendered
senseless by the shock over his heart. His
clothes were examined and it was discov-
cred that he had lead "handybilly" in
| the left breast pocke, of mis- coat, immedi-
ately over his heart, and this saved his
| life, as the bullet, large 38-calibre, had
imbedded itself in the lesden end of the
| weapon.
| There are many theories advanced as to
the motive which prompted the villain
| who had intended to do his work so well,
but from the most authenic facts CLEANED
| by the Signal representative, jealousy was
the cause. 1t seems as though another
young man of near Harrisville had been
paying attention to the same young lady
and that Bingham had supplanted him in
her affections. A rumor is current that
the unsuccessful suitor had called on his
| iramorata, and had asked her to not allow
| Bingham to continue hi- attentions bat
she had answered that 'sNe would stick to
| him as long as she could In a moment
OF anger he had replied "that won't be
very d long," aud it is believed that
| the shooting on Saturday night was in di-
| rect connection with the declaration made
by the jealous lover Toe evidence is yet
is wholly circu nstantial, but there Is no
| doubt but that the matter will be traced
up 10 the guilty party.
| It Is understood that both young men
have been threatened before and some
time ago they received letter sigued 80.

appointment but.their mysterious cores

the barn Of Reed Snyder was burned To
the ground together with all its contents,
and it is said that evidence can be produc-
ed connecting 30. II. with the above az

On Thursday last, the Secretary OF the
Treasury approved the regulations
prescribed by the Commissioner OF Intern
al Revenue for the enforcement OF the col
| lection of income tax under the late tariff
act. Under the regulations provided and
approved pursuant to law every citizen OF
the United States, whether residing at
home or abroad, and every person residing
or doing business in the United States
who has an annual income of more than
q. 500. shall make full return of the same
verified by his oath, to the Collector OF In
ternsl Revenue Of the collection district
in which he resides, or, if not resident,
in which his business or property from
which income is situated, on or before the
first Monday in March of each year. The
first return under the law shall be made
on or before the first Monday in March,
1895. and shall include all income from
every source received in the year 1884
from the 1st day of January to the 3lst
day of December in said year. Guardians.
trustees and all persons and corporations
acting in any fducisry capacity are re-
odired to make similar returns on or before
the dace mentioned, for sll minors, wards
or beneficiaries for whom they act. Per-
sons having less than a.5O0 annual income
are not required to make the returns, but
all persons having an income in excess OF
that amount, whether it reaches the tax
able limit of 81, 900 or not, must make re-
turn as prescribed.
On Friday it was decided by the Cur
rency Committee Of the House to report
Csrlisle's bill. Nearly five millions in gold
were withdrawn from the sub-treasures
at New York and Boston that day for e1-
port, probably to pay dividends on foreign
capital invested in this Country.
On Monday, Springer's attempt to force
Carlisle's financial bill through the House
was checked by Speaker Crisp's opposition.
The Republican members of the Banking
and Currency Committee pointed out some
serious defects in the Bill and predicted
panic if it should become law. The bill
will probably be held for discussion until
after the holidays.

PIttsburg as a Seaport.

The Lake Erie and Ohio Ship Canal, an
enterprise intended to connect Pittsburg
with the great lakes and give that indus
tIial centre seaport. Importance very
much on the line that Manchester Joys
over Liverpool, is assuming position bor-
dering ON the prospect "f success. The cost
has been estimated at $50, 000, 900 and the
country tributary to the operation, en-
bracing radius of one hundred squsae
miles, has greater population than Chi
esgo, with industrial developments and in
vestments valued close upon $lOO, ,OOO. 600.
1t is quite natural to mark down Pittsburg
capital as the foundation of the movement,
but Pittsbutg capital is not so closely all
led with the matter as English capital,
which appears to control the intentions
of those who have the project in charge.
An engineering committee has pro-
nounced the construction Of the canal per-
iectly feasible. In the canal country COW
cred il is estimated that the furnaces alone
will take 1000. 900 tons of ore from the
lake region. The territory to be reached
by the proposed canal takes eight-tenths
of the traffic passing through the Sault Ste-
Marie, which handles 10000, 900 tons of
freight yearly.

The business world will probably not
awake to the dangers and perils involved
in Secretary Csrlisle's banking bill until it
has passed the House. Then sound busi-
ness men will discover, with very little
time to defest the bill In the Senate, that
the Administration measure suits House
notoriously unsound on financial issues be-
cause the measure itself is unsound.
1t creates what has been at the bottom
of all the agitation of recent years, an un-
sound currency, by giving State banks the
power to issue currency under State laws
with slack Federal supervision which the
bill nowhere confers on any officer any
adequate power to enforce.
AS soon as this measure is passed any
State can pass loose banking law under
which the provision as to "paid-up' cspi-
tai can be evaded. The banks under IL
will deposit 80 per cent. of their capital in
United States legal tenders with an Off
cial of the State authorized by law to hold
the same" There is nothing to prevent
this State officer from making the banks
themselves the depositaries OF this fund,
and nothing to prevent the State form do
ing, as some States did in the old days,
and using this guarantee fund as depus-
IL In "Bsnk Of the State Of Wildcat" in
which bank the State itself was q partner.
The notes issued have behind them moth
ing but rhis guaruuty deposit and the In
dividusl liability Of stockholders to the
amount of their stock.
Suppose, as has happened over and over
again and did happen only eighteen months
ago, half rhe banks of n weak State close
their doors-bow much would the stock
holders who had organised the bank be
able to psyi Suppose the State officer,
either by law is permitted to deposit the
guaranty fund in banks, as some State
laws once permitted, or the State used it
as others did and replace it by State bonds,
or loose system permitted Wholesale
plunder such as has gone ON in a NUMBER
of State capitals-how much would the
notes be worth.

The Eastern War.

The Japanese army seems to be taking
rest
The Chinese government has ordered the
arrest of the generals who commanded al
Port Arthur.
Correspondents of Japanese papers tel
CHASTITY and revolving stories of Chinese
atrocities whenever accident threw small
bodies of Japanese troops in their way.
Many of them are corroborated with min.
uteness of detail. Because of these out
RACES japanese soldiers have in many in
stances, it is admitted, thrown away all
restraint and shown no mercy.
1t is held in many quarters that Ii Hung
Chang has thrown away the opportunity OF
his life. Had he gone to the capital at the
first appearance of the hostility OF the en-
peror and proclaimed himself dictator, the
entire course of events might have been
simplifed and China's disgrace syerted.
But he hesitated until the enthusiasm of
his supporters had grown cold.
Japanese troops at Port Arthur, like
civilized troops under similar provocstion,
were stirred to massacre and reprisal by
the discovery that their comrades while
prisoners had been tortured. No one
who knows what troops are, will be sur
prised at this, and the suspension of judg-
ment which the Japanese Government
asks in the temperate and well considered
uIterance of its Minister at London will
receive universal approval.
