is to be on the cottage plan. an
idea she had adopted from the
cottages at Adrian, Mich. Instead
of having one large building it is
the intention to have several
small ones of cottage architect

large enough to hold 40 girls, and
when it is filed another will be
built. The plans were drawn by
Franzheim, Glessey and Faris, Of

ATTACK ON THE PREMIER.

A fool-hardy attempt upon the life OF
the premier Of Canada occurred at o.
tawa yesterday morning.
1t seems that when the liberal party
appealed to the country at the last
elections it was understood that there
would be clean sweep of tho various
Offices and liberals would be given a
chance. Disappointment, therefore,
has been at high water mark in every
constituency in the Dominion.
Crazed with liq1or and f1ourishing q
revolver, Ferdinand Carriere. disap-
pointed officeseeker from Rimoushi,
Quebec, rushed toward the private en-
trance of the premier's Office, in the
eastern department buildings, scattering
the waiting officials right and left. As
be came on he shouted II am after
Sir Wilfred Laurier and I will shoot
him."
As he spoke he pulled the trigger of
his revolver, The bullet whizzed close
to Alderman Powell's head, as he,
with the posse of Dominion police,
rushed to grapple with the would be
assassin. Carriere escaped, but was
finally caught near the American con-
sular office, on Wellington street, where
he was still flourishing his revolver and
looking for the Canadian premier.
Carriere was disarmed and taken to
the station. 1t was found that four Of
the six chambers of his revolver were
loaded, and in his pockets were found
two boxes of cartridges. 1t is thought
that the man is sailor.

The Luetgert Jury.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.-Judge Tuthill ap-
peared at the court building at few
minutes after 10 o'clock. 1t is the gen.
eral impression that he will bring the
Jury into the court room and inquire { t
them the prospect of agreeing on YER
dict. Bailiff Walcott said this morn
ing "There are no prospects of agree
ment at this hour and do not believe
the Jurors will ever agree. They
stand eight for conviction and four for
acquittal." There was report current
in the morning that one of the jurors
was wavering and that he would soon
vote with the majority for the death
penalty. The minority have argued
that the corpus deficit was not estab-
lished with sufficient directness to con.
vince them that Mrs. Luetgert is dead.
For that reason alone it is said these
jurors have cast their votes for all &C.
quittal.
1890 a. m.-Judge Tuthill called the
jury into court. From neighbo1ing
window Juror Harley was seen shak.
ing hands with the other jurors and it
was believed that verdict has been
reached. Ten minutes later the judge
sent for the prisoner, and Luetgert was
taken up the back elevator in the
building and into court. 1t is the gen.
eral opinion at II o'clock that the
judge gave the jury further instructions
aud enlightened them on several
knotty points.
Luetgert was astir early again this
morning and as usual ate hearty
breakfast. The suspense concerning
his fate does not affect the appetite of
the big sausagemaker. He was conf
dent of acquittal this morning and in
the best of humor as he exercised in the
corridor before his cell.
Before he left the court house Jud ge
Tuthill intimated to counsel that if
there was the slightest chance for a
verdict, the jury would remain in the
balance of the week unless verdict
was handed into court in the mean
while.

New York's Municipal Contest

New YORK, Oct. 2O.-It is conceded
tt at the bitterness developed between
the partisans of Low and Tracy, if not
stronger than that between George and
Tammany is more in evidence and like.
ly to be more widespread in its results.
Already there are charges of trading in
legislative candidates, and the unusual
length and complexity OF the ballots
which cannot fail to confuse the more
illiterate voters adds to the confusion Of
the situation. The assertions by the
Tracy papers that the citizens union
claim as supporters of Low many prom.
inent business men who will vote for
the straight republican candidate are
strenuously denied by the Low journals,
which insist that their candidate is
gaining daily in strength. Meanwhile
there is much more talk of wagers and
odds than there is outward and visible
sign of betting, and the actual placing
OF money has not as yet begun to any
marked extent.
