BOSTON, Oct. s. 1Ss4-Joseph Finne-
early this morning while in bed at their
home, corner of Chardon and Portland
streets.
The man has a cut in his left arm
from the shoulder to the elbow, an ugly
cash, clear into the bone The woman
has two wounds, one in the throat and
one in the breast.
They are both deaf mutes. we'll spoken
of by their neighbors. The room they
occupy, where the stabbing occurred is
on the third floor of the house and has
two windows. One opens out over the
roof, which covers the stairway, and
the other is few feet from it,
This latter window was open, and it
is believed that the assailant came in
that way.
Both were asleep, when suddenly Mrs.
Finnegan awol1e, to see strange man
bending over her. She arose on her
elbow in her alarm, when. the man at
the bedside stabbed her twice.
Her husband was aroused, and he, too,
was struck at, but he threw up his arm
and the knife, instead of striking his
body, slashed his arm He jumped from
the bed and attempted to grapple with
the man. At this show of fight the lat
ter rushed for the window and leaped to
the ground below, where he was badly
hurt by striking the pavement and was
easily captured. He gave his name as
He was under the influence of liquor

THE BOSTON WOMAN.

In Boston woman is valued socially
in proportion to what she knows and
can do well-or to put it correctly, what
she has the reputation of knowing and
doing well. If it could be a pleasant
til.ag anywhere fer u woman 10 grow
old, it would be so in Boston. In that
city spinsters and widows, if they are
ambitious and even tolerably healthy,
never consider it too late to find
a vocation. They would take up
botany, china painting, sloyd, or
political economy at sixty with
a refreshing independence of their age.
| have seen a pupil Of seventy at one, of
the prominent schools of oratory, her
fellow students, mostly in the teens,
treating her with beautiful comrade-
snip, instead of staring at her with sup
pressed smiles as if she were kind of
freak They recognized only her plucky
defiance of Father Times limitations by
a larger measure of applause when she
recited her pieces than they usually ac-
corded to the younger members of the
class. A Boston man forgives and may
even forget woman's advancing years
if she is bright and interesting and can
make him feel always that he knows
more than she does.

CUT HER RIVALS NOSE OFF.
Two Young Ladies OF Color Fight
Over a minstrel.

er. a very pretty young colored girl only
eighteen years old, was arraigned in the
Jefferson Market Police Court this morn
ing before Justice Voorhis charged with

ousv existing between her and another
pretty colored girl Maggie Robinson, OF

eral times these two girls have fought
over their lovers.
The latest acquisition to the Sixth ave-
nue. colored society is Win H. Proctor,
who is now playing in the minstrel show
at Worth's Museum. Last night some
friends of the actor gave him benefit
at No. 113 West Thirty-second street.
Among the girls who were at the show
were Nellie and Maggie. Maggie occupied
nearly all of Proctor's attention, and
this angered Nellie. who waited until the
opportunity offered. and. coming upon
her rival unawares, shes drew a razor
and made several slashes at her
Maggie,s nose was cut off and she
also got stab in the neck and wound
in the leg. Maggie was taken home
and her wounds attended to. This
morning Nellie was arrested at her
mothers home by Detective Jeroloman.

told Justice Voorhis that Nellie was
bad girl and had caused her great
deal of trouble.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. s. 1s94.-The OFF,

been added to the public debt of Canada
during the year ending September 80.
The liabilities payable in England in
creased nearly ss,00o0OO, while in the
money the Government has been borrow

loan, there has been a large increase
The revenue from Customs duties for the

Republican Candidates for
County Tieke Nominations
Make Things Lively.

The scramble among Republicans for
the nomination on the county ticket is
becoming fast and furious, and each can
didate is doing a lively amount of hus-
Ting. Interest seems to be centered in
the nomination for County Clerk, where
Messrs. Woolley, Baldwin, Christie and
Fisher are struggling for recognition.
Chairman Woolley of the County Com
mittee, although working like the pro-
verbal ant, is making no progress. This
seeming paradox is explained by the fact
that the opposing elements in the party
are more than a match for him. The
principal cause of the general dislike to
his nomination arises from the fact that
Sam" Dickinson is behind him, and
somehow large number of Republicans
don't like the idea of the ex-Postmaster
running things. Besides, the recent. dis
graceful expose of the workings of the
Post Office under the Dickinson regime
is responsible for an uncomfortable aver
sion to anything Dickinsonian. Another
candidate under a cloud is Aaron Bald
win, whom many Republicans look upon
as protege of Senator j. r. McPherson.f
Then, too, Mr. Baldwin, although in
enough strength behind him outside of
Hoboken. Mr. Gamaliel Christie is run
ming .on his own hook, and altogether
making things particularly warm for his
districts he is well known and popular,
and will neither give nor accept quarter.
Mr. John Fishers friends are as bnsy as
bees. He has a rong following of Demo-
Gratis and a good recommendation from
his chief, who. while out for Mr.. M. j.
O'Donnell, would sooner see Mr.. Fisher
pitted against the ex-Police Justice than
any other man.
FRAMBACH TO THE FORE.
The fight for the nomination of Regis
ter continues to be exciting, although
there are but three candidates. -Messrs.
Hill, Seymour and Frambach.
Lawyer Frambach is coming steadily to
the front, and at present it looks very
much like Frambach for Register Aid
Harry HILL no relation to the gentleman
in New York, is favorite with a great
many of the party and the leaders look
favorably on his nomination. AS for ex-
| Judge Seymour, he is dead cock in the
pit, He has been good worker in times
gone by, but doesn't command any seri-
Gus attention from the Republican hoi
polloi. The fight lies between Hill and
| Frrambach, with odds on the latter.

The Democratic Congress Practices
One Form of ECONOMY.


WASHINGTON, Oct. s, 1S94.-No COM
mittees of Congress are now engaged in
investigating or inquiring or doing any
similar work that has been feature
of other interims. This remarkable con-
dition has been brought about mainly
by two causes: first, the brevity of the
recess, and second, the growing dispo-
sition of both Houses and particularly
of the Lower House, to put an end to
pleasure. trips for members at the ex-
spense of the government.
Several joint commissions, composed Of
members of both Houses, have authority
to work during the recess, but no tray-
elling expenses are contemplated in the
character of their duties. asub-com-
mittee of the Senate Committee on Com
merce has authority to visit harbors IN
Southern California for the purpose. or
making inquiry into the necessity for
their Improvement, but the sub-commit-
tee cannot start on the trip under the
leave granted by the Senate until NO
vember l. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that the start will not be made, If at
all until after the elections.
The Senate Committee on Rules was
refused authority to sit during the cur
rent recess to revise the rules of the
Senate This action, however, was paSeq
on fear that the changes contemplated
by the committee were too radical. and
conservative Senators, who are in the
majority. preferred to have the old rules
stand, with all their imperfections. rather
than run the risk of the adoption or
a new code that would infringe on the
time honored customs of the Chamber.

claimed all knowledge of Wilkinson.
When Attorney Dickson had finished
reading the answer Counsellor Rawle
formally withdrew the names of Nc
Dermott and Ruppel from the original
petition, and submitted petition of Levi
Nicks, also Reading brakemap,a in
which Hicks asked leave to intervene
as a petitioner.
Judge Dallas refused to allow Hickssto
intervene until the receivers should have
had time to prepare an answerfto his pc
tition. Attorney Rawle then asked the
Court to issue preliminary restraining
order preventing the receivers. from dis
charging the men, it having been stated
that the employees We're to be dismissed
today, until the case shall have been de-
cided. This the Judge declined to do,
and fixed Friday next at 10 A. NJ for hear

DATE FOR THE WOOL SCHEDULE.

WASHINGTON, Oct 8, 1S94.-Assis-
tant Secretary Hamlin this morning car
ried out the intention previously men
toned inthese dispatches and in for
NAL letter to the Attorney General,
asked for anopinion on Section 2e7 of the
Tariff Act, which provides that the re-
duction of the rates of duty herein pro-
vided for manufacturers of wool shall
take effect January l. 1885, The ques-
tion to be settled is whether this sec
ton applies strictly to wool, or If it
may be held to apply also to manufac-
turers of worsted, the hair of the camel.
goat, alpaca or other animals, or of
which there are the components, of value.
In all the paragraphs of the woolen
schedule these hairs are classified with
wool and in a recent decision of the
General Board of Appraisers, growing
out of a worsted case, although this
question was not before them, the
Board intimated that it would hold that
manufacturers of WOOL meant the hair
of the camel; goat, alpaca, etc. The Coll
lector at the port of New York has asked
for instructions and upon that request
the opinion of the Attorney General will
be rendered.

Father Connolly Denounces Mile
Ross and His Gang.
SpecLal o the Jsrsey Citn AZ


PERTH AMBOY, Oct. 8, 1S94.-The Rev.
Peter L. Connolly of ST. Mary,s Roman
Catholic Church made bitter attack
ON theMiles Ross typeof politician yester-
day morning in his sermon. Father
Connelly's sermons are more or less
political in tone at this time
of the year, but yesterday he
talked of very little else. He had an
attentive and sympathetic audience. and
his bold strokes at the ring were lis
tened to with murmurs of approval.
Father Connolly bitterly denounced the
men who opposed Leon Albeit in his
fight for the Senatorship, when James
Smith, Jr., was elected. He called Abb
bett the friend of Romanists, and said
that his re1egation to private life has
been followed by well deserved defeat
and dismay for the Democratic party.
He implored the voters in his congre-
cation to stand by him in bis fight
against corruption and political treach-
cry.
Father Connolly referred to a conver-
gation which he had some months ago
with Representative Geissenhainer's pri-
yate secretary. Father Connolly was in
washington, and, after a few moments
conversation he was told that he would
shortly be removed from Perth Amboy
to another parish. The priest repeated
this several times, and then bitterly de-
nounced the machine leaders, who, he
said. desire his removal because of his
activity.
The priest several times declared that
his parishioners ought to rebuke the
nxesent ring rule even at the expense
