The New York Sun of Friday last
contained the following dispatch;
LYNN, Mass. Sept. l3.-HIenry H..
Wicker of New York, son of President
Cassius Wicker of the North Shore Trac-
tlon company. has been missing for for
ty-eight hours, and it is believed that he
has been drowned. He left Hotel Pres
ton, Beach Bluff, SwampscOtt, on Tues
day morning with the intention of sail
my his dOry round to his summer home
on Little's Point. The fishing schooner
Acacia of SwampscOtt, Capt CahoOn,
picked up the doly at II o'clock on We'd
nesday morning. 1t was found bottom
up with sails and oars gone. Tugs be-
longing to the Boston rowboat compa-
ny have heen chartered and are now pa
trolling both the north and south shores.
All the life-saving stations along the
coast have been notified and parties are
searching the shore.
"YOung Wicker was born February o.
1876. His mother, Augusta Carol
French, was the daughter of Gov. Au-
gustus o. French of Illinois, who was
instrumental in driving the MOrmons
from thar State. On his fathers side ne
is grandson of Judge Cyrus Washburne
Wicker of Addison county, Vt. He had
Just finished his course at the Berkeley
school in New York city, and was en-
rolled as a member of this years fresh
man class at Yale. He was a member OF
the football and baseball teams of the
preparatory school,.
The friends of the family here were
relieved on Friday by dispatch frou
Mr.. Wicker conveying information tina
his son has been picked up by passing
vessel. A letter received by them OF
Tuesday, however, makes 1t appear tha
the dispatch was wrongly transmitted
and that no clue to the whereabouts o
the missing boy had been obtained. Hi
father had about given up hope, though
there was a mere chance that vesse
bound for some distant port might hav,
picked him up and carried him to it
destination.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
REPREs REsENTATIvE-ELECT LAWRENCE OF
RUTLAND HAS A NARROW ESCAPE.

REPRES RESENTATIVE-ELECT LAWRENCE OF
RUTLAND HAS A NARROW ESCAPE.
Rutland came near losing its represent
ative-elect, Hon. George E. Lawrence, on
Tuesday. The story is thus told in a
press dispatch:
can unsuccessful attempt was made
to assassinate Judge Lawrence, city rep
sentative-elect to the legislature, in his
Office on Merchants Row at | 80 o'clock
Tuesday morning. David O'Herne, the
would-be assassin, is now in the hands of
the authorities. He was arrested without
trouble. The weapon used was a 32-cali-
bre revolver. O'Herne imagined he had
grievance against the Judge on account
of delay in settling an insurance suit
against the Phoenix Insurance company
of New York. O'IIerne several times
threatened the Judge with personal vio-
lence If he did not arrange a settlement
This the Judge explained he could not
do, because O'IIerne's share of the money
recovered was in the hands of States At
torney Jones, who represented O'Herne's
brother and sister in the case.
"MOnday morning O'IIerne went tO
Judge Lawrence's Office and told him
that if he did not pay over the cash IN
twenty-four hours, he, O'IIerne, would
kill him. As Judge Lawrence was sit
ting in his Office Tuesday morning, dictat,
ing to his typewriter, O'IIerne came in
promptly on time, and, walking past the
Judge, stepped toward a side room.
1.-The Judge stopped to speak with
O'Herne, when the latter drew a revolver
and pointed it at the Judge. Lawrence
Jumped for the man and tried to grapplt
with him. O'Ierne was too slippery fol
HIM, and lodged. Seeing that there was
only one chance for escape, the Judge
jumped outside the door and tried to clOsC
it after him. O'Herne was again toe
quick for him, and before he could shu
the door O'Herne fired, the ball striking
a button on the judges coat and cutting
the cloth. Before the smoke cleared away
O'Herne was on the street. He was ar
rested by the sheriff at II 40 o'clock OF
Merchants Row, nearly an hour after thu
shooting.

threatened to kill States Attorney Jones

other consolation in sight Hardwlcll

The Japanese lately won great land
victory over the Chinese and now comes
the report of a naval fight in which the
Chinese were again vanquished. 1t is
believed IN some quarters that China is
anxious to end the contest. American
sympathy has undoubtedly been with
the japanese from the start, perhaps
because we know more about the
Chinese than of their opponents.

A correspondent over at St. Johnsbury
telegraphs to the Boston journal that
the Australian ballot law is in bad repute
thereabouts and that it is not generally
approved, especially in the small towns.
That may be new discovery on the
east side of the State, but it is hardly
news here,
