WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-On account OF
the extraordinary pressure being brought
for the pardon of Francis A Coffin. con-
victed of helping TO wreck the Indianapolis
National Bank. the attorney general. with
the Presidents assent, has made an eA-
ception to the previously unbroken rule OF
requiring the signatures of either the trial
judge or prosecuting attorney before per-
mitting the petition to go to the executive
for his consideration. This remarkable
concession was obtained through the in
fiuence of e&-Attorney General Miller. and
as an act of courtesy on the part OF the
head of the Department OF Justice to pre-
decessor.
The Coffin papers bear the names and the

as in the East, and il is an open secret
that The President is deeply impressed by
the showing. He has not yet formally
taken the papers UP. but Secretary Thurber
expects he will do so i'm a very few days
The negotiations for the pardon of Coffin
have been and are being carried on over
the head of Controller Eckels. who was
particularly active i'm the prosecution. This
is known at the White House. but the
sneering remark was heard there to-day
that his participation was not considered
indispensable. unfortunately" said a
White House official, 1.-The Constitution does
not vest the pardoning power i'm the con-
troller of the currency. Ii even neglects to
mention that officer" From this 1t may
be inferred that the advice of Mr.. Eckels
will not be asked for. Just the same the
latter holds strong views with regard to
the Coffin case and will endeavor TO dis
abuse the Presidents mind Of the impress
sion that the prisoner was merely guilty OF
overborrowing. The Coffin case promises TO
record of President Cleveland's second
term.

A desperate attempt was made to
kill Ed. Wall, the well known
Mexican interpreter, at Cuero Mon
day night. The particulars from
Cuero are as follows:
He lives in a canvass covered
hut about hundred yards west Of
the Sap depot in this city, and last
night retired with his wife and
child about 8 o'clock. The first
thing be remembered after that was
his wife leaning over him asking
what was the matter. He was
dazed and bleeding from horrible
cash made by his own axe above the
temple on the right side of his head
The blood covered his hair and was
running down his left side. He
could tell nothing; he knew nothing.
The lamp was lit, the front door of
the hut was standing Of en- and an
axe, his own, was lying by the bed
covered with blood, showing it was
the instrument used to do the work.
This was about 8 O'Clock this morn
ing. No more sleep was had at the
Wall hut, and about 8 O'clock this
morning Wall came into town and
reported the facts to the officers
who are now investigating. He
says be has no idea who did it; he
does not know that he has an enemy
and the whole thing is shrouded in
mystery"

COUNTRY LIFE.
A Side of the Picture Not Painted
by the Poets.

by the Poets.
A recent article in a scientific
journal states that three-fourths Of
the women found in state asylums
for the insane were farmers wives.
If this is true. and there is no reason
to doubt it, it. should be interesting
to know why.
Another authority some time ago
declared that the large number of
male lunatics became insane
through an exaggerated egotism,
while the principal causes of lu-
macy among women were disap-
pointed affection or the "dreadful
round" of a "hard, monotonous,
solitory life"
This last statement bears out the
first. Nothing can be more wearing
to the nerves than the constant
strain of never-ending routine,
coupled with the mental stagnation
which farmers wives have usually
had to endure. No treadmill could
be more endlessly recurring than
the inhexible round of daily duty,
early and late, which the farmers
wife of a few years ago had to per-
form.
