From an account given by MT Mayo, the United State mail carrier between Cornwall Bridge and Litchfield, it ap- pears that an attempt was made to do him personal injury. The result of a bullet fired in ambush, which narrowly escaped hitting him, may be the cause of the death of his horse. The horse re- ceived the bullet in his side making an ugly wound, which bled copiously for several hours. The affair occurred in a lonely section of the mail route near East Cornwall.

LONDON. September I4.-A represen-

interview today with Mr.. Wilson. Re-
ferring to the recent election in the
state OF Maine, he said he did not con-
slider the Republican victory as a pro-
nounced criticism of the tariff legisla-
tion of congress. According to Mr.. Will
son some of the Democrats ofiMaine are
temporarily angered at certain tariff re.
ductions, especially the reduction of the
duty on lumber.
But" he added, "Maine's situation
prevents that state from being an index
OF the political currents of the United
States"
Mr.. Wilson decidedly stated that
President Cleveland had no thoughts OF
again being candidate for the presi
dency. Messrs. Reed and Mckinley
were in his opinion candidates for the
Repu blican nomination but he thought
the Republican party would probably
select a tariff conservative like Allison

made to pay their Indebtedness as it
becomes due, and it is in favor of the
