ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Spanish Anarchist Fires Upon Two
Police Chiefs.

BARCELONA, Sept. 4-The man ar
rested here for shooting two police
officials is a native of this city, but he
belongs to the Paris group of anar-
chlsts. His name is given as Barril.
AS two police chiefs were leaving the
circus here last evening, they were
stopped and abused by the prisoner.
Barr1l then fired at the officers with
revolver, wounding Chief Portals in the
shoulder and chest and wounding As
slstant Chief EnridZero in the Shout
der. Both of the chiefs pursued Barril,
who sought refuge in a wine shop,
where, before he was taken into GUS
tody he shot and severely wounded
a waiter.
Chief Portals is convinced that Bar
I'll is an accomplice Of Michele Angel
lilo, the recently executed anarchist.
Barril, when questioned regarding his
attempt to asSassinate the two chiefs,
admitted he was an anarchist, and
that he had been expelled from Spain
in 1895 for Kissing the Spanish flag. He
then went to London remaining there
some time and subsequently resided
in Brussels. He returned to Barcelona
on Aug. 16 last. The prisoner, who is
now. confined in the fortress of Mount
Junich, will be tried by courtmartial
within the near future. When Barril
wa searched an important document
of a compromising nature was found

BOTTo UNDER ARREST.
New Chapter in a Louisville Social
Sensation.

NEW YORK, Sept 4-William Bot
to, of Louisville, was arrested today
charged with uttering a worthless
check for $35 on the Louisville Trust
company, and passing it upon Frank
c. Benjamin, of Philadelphia. Botto
was held to await a requisition from
Philadelphia. The police say this bad
check is one of a series passed by Bot
to in neighboring cities
Botte acquired notoriety by marry
ing the wealthy widow of Capt Will
liam Irwin, of Louisville. During his
life time Capt. Irwin was president of
the Louisville & Indiana Ferry COM
pany; and was also prominent in many
other corporations. He was an ac-
credited millionaire and on his death
his widow and a twenty-one-year
son, Gay, came into possession of the
vast estate. Gay Irwin was a sport
ing man and kept string of racing
horses. Young Irwin and .Botto be-
came acquainted, and having tastes in
common, soon became fast friends.
Botto is the son of a Louisville mer-
chant and was a prominent figure in
Louisville society. Early in July, Bot
to. then twenty years old, was mar
ried to Mrs. Irwin, who was fifty-two
years old. Louisville was shocked at
the disparity in the ages of the pair

DANIEL DENIES.
Says He Did Not Assist in Denounc-
ing Cleveland.

LYNCHBURG, Va. Sept 4-The
News will tomorrow print a letter
from United States Senator John w.
Daniel, replying to certain statements
made by Gov. O'FarrelT in his recently
published letter.. In his letter Gov.
O'Farral says that Mr. Daniel offered
a resolution in the senate commencing
Mr.. Cleveland's course in connection
with the suppression of the Chicago
riots, and later was member of the
committee on resolutions at the Cri-
cago convention when the committee
denounced Mr.. Cleveland for doing the
very thing for which Senator Daniel
has praised him.
The senator denies that he was a
member Of the committee on resolu-
lions committee at Chicago, or that
there was a plank in the platform de-
nouncing Mr.. Cleveland. He declares
that the clause in the Chicago plank
denouncing arbitrary interference by
federal authorities in local municipal
affairs was not regarded by Mr.. Cieve-
lands friends in the convention as
having reference to his action during
the Chicago riot.
I'm fact" says the senator, 'I am
informed that all reference to Mr.
Cleveland was expressly disclaimed
and Mr.. Altgeld, to whom the plank
mas been imputed, was not member
of the committee and had nothing to
do with it."
The senator continued: What does
the government think of a public Of
ficer who, during many terms of SER
vice in congress, votes every time for
free and unlimited silver coinage at
16 to 1, and becomes governor through
a canvas in which he boasts of his ar
dent devotion to the principle and of
having voted for it many times II to L.
and who, after he is in office, heaps
denunciation on those who stand by
the doctrine which he often upheld
and declares that the idea with which
he was so long and notably identified
is not Dmocr2tic, but born in Populis-
tic council

We are sorry TO learn that our
friends ia West Carroll feel somewhat
indignant at the citizens of Providence
in what they seem TO think unjust
treatment in shutting them out of our
parish by quarantine some few weeks
ago. We can assure the people of our
sister parish that what was done was
no spite work or anything like il; but
was done for the safety of our cilizeus.
There is not person in our town who
has not the highest regard for our
West Carroll friends, and who would
not do all i'm their power for their good,
and we trust that they will take diff.
ferent view of the matter. In times oil
yellow fever scarcs there are things
done that do not look right. we admit
but it sbould be remembered that they
are done for what is thought best.

aud neglecting his business and that
the persons who receive freight aud
ship cotton at this landing turned
Jessie off aud hired the white man
Jessie went off and go: drunk and re-
turned, aud no doubt started the fuss
that terminated in his death. The
white man who did the killing is "a

justifiable in taking Russe's life.

The only load of cotton that looked
in any ways of the old time loads the
palatial boats Of few years ago used
to carry, was the load the Pargoud had
on leaving our landing last Sunday
evening. The cotton was piled six
tier high and was just above the cabin
deck. On account of the extreme low
water it was impossible for the boat 10
take on any more cotton, although
there was room for two thousand bales.

Last Saturday evening there were
twenty-five or thirty persons across on
the sand bar in front of town, who
wanted to come over to do their trad

to let these people come in, for the
reason that their quarantine has been
much stricter than the quarantine on
the Louisiana side. We are glad to
say that they eau now come over.
