Driving With His Daughter.
Athens, Feb. 28.-While King George
was returning from Phalerum Satur-
day evening in landau. accompanied
by the Princess Maria. two men who
were hidden in a ditch alongside the
road opened fire with guns upon the
occupants of the carriage. The first
shot missed, but the second wounded
a fOotman in the arm. The coachman
whipped up his horses, ard the royal
party dashed away at gallop. The
miscreants fired seven shots after
them, none of which took effect, and
the king and princess returned to the
palace unhurt
When the second shot whzzed past
the carriage the king rose and stood
in front of his daughter, in order to
shield her. One of the horses was
slightly wounded. One of the assail-
ants knelt in the middle of the road
and aimed straight at the king, who
noticed that the mans hand was shak-
ing. The shot missed, and the king
had clear view of this man, who, his
majesty says, was barely 20 years old.
He continued to fire after the carriage
until it was out of range. His COM
panion, who was more cowardly, did
not leave the ditch
The action of his majesty in shield
ing his daughter. the princess. at the
risk of his own life has aroused great
enthusiasm.
The first shot was fired at a distance
of 20 yards. The king relates that he
perceived third individual a little fur
ther away, and several persons who
were in the vicinity during the after
noon report seeing suspicious looking
men in field beside the road.
A cadet who was on horseback some
distance behind the royal carriage
heard the shots and galloped to the
scene In time to see the kings assail-
ants fleeing in the direction of Hy-

Gently collapsed. and president of the
Singerly pulp and paper mill. He was
member of the Paramount Park COM
mission, and until lately its treasurer,
and "A trustee of the Philadelphia Com
mercial Museum.
Mr.. Singerly was born in this city
on Dec. y, 1892, and, with the exception
of a brief period in his early manhood,
when he conducted a commission busi-
ness in Chicago, has lived here ever
since. His father Joseph Singerly, was
one of the originatCrs of the street
railway system of Philadelphia, and
william returned here to assume the
management of the Germantown Pas
senger Railway company In 1877 he
bought The Record, then a compara-
lively feeble journal, and brought 1t to
its present standard.
In 1877, upon the retirement of Gov
ernor Pattison from office, Mr.. Singerly
took an active part in establishing the
Chestnut Street National bank, of
which the ex-governor became the first
president Upon Mr.. Pattison being
called for second time to the COVER
noship Of Pennsylvania Mr.. Singerly
succeeded him as president of the bank
and also became president of the
Chestnut Street Trust and Savings
Fund company.
In seeking relaxation from the cares
Of business Mr.. Singerly had for many
years taken a keen interest in farming
and stock raising. His herds of Hol-
stein cattle at his large farm at Gwn-
edd, in Montgomery county, We're IA
nous for years, and he was also owner
of the Elkton stock farm, near Elk

Mr.. Sngerly was always an active
Democrat In 1891 he was unanimous
ly made the Democratic candidate for
governor of Pennsylvania, and entered
with great energy into the canvass,
speaking in nearly every county in the
state. In all he made over 70 speeches
in upholdng the cause of the Democ-
racy. The natural Republican major
ity of Pennsylvania was too great to
be overcome. however, and his COM
petitOr, Daniel H. Hastings, carried
off the prize.
During the last national campaign
Mr.. Singerly supported the Palmer and
Buckner ticket, making a number of
speeches in its behalf in Pennsylvania,
Delaware and Maryland, and organiz-
ing local association III aid of the
movement. He also took an active part
in forming the Pennsylvania Bankers
association.
Financial misfortune overlook Mr..
Singerly during the last few months
of his life, when, on Dec. 20 last, the
Chestnut Street National bank and
Trust company were compelled to close
their doors. Messrs. Earle and Cook
were made assignees of the Trust COM
pany and managers of a plan looking
to the liquidation of the affairs Of both
institutions. Since then a receiver has
been appointed for the bank, and the
affairs of it and the trust company are

West Pre- sbYterian Church.

Rev. A. n Keigwin preached an interest
ing sermon on Sunday morning, to quite
large congregation from tho following
text: "And To- thou art unto them, as a
very lovely song of one that hath pleas.
ant voice and can play well on an instru.
nent for they hear thy words, but they do
them not Ezekiel 33-32. After allud-
ing to the influence OF music on persons. he
paid quito high compliment to the late
jennie Lind, who frequently sang some of
her sweetest songs TO entertain he poor,
and led them to forget their troubles for
q time and think of pleasant things. Pass
ing on he referred to the loveliness of crea.
tion,and declared that the entire bible was
love song
In speaking of tho influence of the ora
tor over his hearers he referred to the first
sermon delivered by Rev. DR.. MacGregor
in China, who said to young man who
had determined to oppose the Christian
doctrine; 81 have come here to-day to
tell you of loving Father in Heaven"
This declaration allayed the opposition Of
the pagan, and prepared the way for a
more favorable hearing. The influence of
amusical voice was wonderful. He had
often thought the great influence of
Dcmosthenes, Gladstone and other ora
tors over the populace, was partially at
tributable to their we'll turned sentences
aud the music of their voices. He also re-.
ferred to noted preacher and the desire of
the people to hear them asIthe inquiry had
frequently becn made by persons: have
you ever heard Sturgeon Moody, and
0ther noted preachers 7 That greater
number OF hearers do not respond to the
exhortatons of preachers is because their
hearts are filled with COvetOusness. He
called on all to renonnce their sins and
lay hold of the promises of Christ. TO
illustrate his position he referred to the
rebellion of an English regiment in India,
because they had failed to receive their
pay. The general commanded them to
gol to the usual drill. and after they ha
grounded :arms, he ordered Sepoy regi-
ment to charge on them, when they
threw down their muskets and fled. He
then CAUSED them to reassemble. after
which he explained to them that for such
robel]nus conduct they were liable to be
shot but that he forgnve them if they re-
pertel snd promised to obey their officers
Tho incident was cited to illustrate the
position of his hearers toward their maker,
and it certainly made deep impression Oh
many present.
In conclusion the preacher alluded to he

Spain, and expressed the hope that war
would be avoi,led. Not that he doubted |
