 Jeff was walking on one of the principal thoroughfares, accompanied by his little behind whistling. He stepped aside to let the person pass and when the man came along side of him he shot Jeff over the eye The pistol was so close that the powder burned his face Tho alarm was given, but the man disappeared in the darkness.
 Strange to say, Jeff's wound, though painful. is not fatal. John Hartrick, an other negro, was arrested on suspicion, he having been heard to threaten Jeff earlier in the day. John is now in the city prison, but says he can prove an alibi The whole affair is mysterious.
 The dry goods store of A. J. Stocks was entered Friday night by a thief who helped himself to cash and goods in general. The man entered through one of the back win dows, using a chisel to force open the shut ter. Chief of Police King soon located the burglar as vagrant who had been serving term on the streets and who was liberat- ed the night before The man was wearing some of the stolen goods, and when arrest ed confessed. Several articles were secured from him.

VICE PRESIDENT
 A VERY SICK MAN
His Condition Has Been Worse
 Than Reported.
SECRE ETARY ]. A. PORTER ILL
His Health Has Completely Broken Down, and the Utmost Anxiety Ex- ists On His Account-Hobart
 Will Not Run.

Washington, April 1O.-(Special. )-There are two very sick men connected with the administration One Is the vice president and the other is the presidents secraeary. J. Addison Porter.
 MT. Pruden, the second secretary to the president, is also in a state of nervous col lapse.
 The vice president has been much sdcker than has been known, and though he is better now, still he is regarded as a very ill man. The trouble is with the heart and stomach Both these organs are involved, the beginning having been nervous dys- pepsia. The doctors say it had it's begin ming during the war session of congress, when the vice president was under great strain. He has been ordered to take abso- lute rest He went south. thinking that the trip would improve him, but it had the contrary effect in fact it was while there that he seemed to collapse.
 The report is circulated here that he has decided, with the advice and consent of his doctors, to withdraw from all political agitation and not enEer the race for re- nomination along with President Mckin- ley. Nothing definite has been given out of course, but those who are closest to him say that it will be seen that his name will be left out of all calculations when the work for the Tenominations begins. It is thought that the excitement attending a fight for a renomination might prove fatal. At any rate, for the present he is going away from Washington to some point where he will be entirely removed from all politics.
 down. He is not allowed to see any one at all, and the utmost anxiety exists on his account. No one can imagine the strain to which the nerves of the men about the White House have been put during the past year.
 One hears little of Porter, but he is an indefatigable worker, and the president has been very dependent upon him. MT. Porter seldom left the White House until after midnight, and was always at his desk by o'clock the next morning. He not only has to see to the correspondence of the president, but writes many of the letters one sees published and draws up the draft of as many more which are given to the public. Mir. Porter was perfectly well two weeks ago to all appearances; but, like most nervous disorders of this sort, it came on suddenly
 MT. Cortelyou. the first assistant secre- tary, has stood the strain very well up to date. He has been at the White House for long lime, and Is more methodical than any one in the big white building, which may account for his present state of health He is one of the most valuable aides to the president and one of whom the president Is exceedingly fond. The lat ter usually takes him on his trips with him, leaving Mir. Porter in charge of mat ters here.
 MT. Pruden, who has carried the mes- sages of the presidents to the senate for several administrations. looks hard and tough of physique. but the strain of the past year has been too much even for him.

 Will Receive the Raleigh.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 New York, April 4.-Mayor Van Wyck to- day appointed George R. Dewey, only son of the admiral, member of the committee of 100 to receive the cruiser Raleigh on it's return from the Philippines. Young Dewey is extremely modest, and when informed that his name had been put on the list of honor he said
 "I have my own idea of what my father would like. and if the mayor has been good enough to elect me as one of the recep- ton committee to receive the officers and crew of the Raleigh I will have to see him and beg off.

NO MATAAFAN YET KILLED
Germans of Samoa Have Formed Very Poor Opinion of the Pugnacious Qualities of the British and
 American Sailors.

San Francisco, April 10.-The German Democrat, published in this. city, has re. ceived letker from one of the chief Ger. man officials att Samoa. which is very in- teresting as regards matters in Samoa.
 The correspondent writes that with all { the shooting that has been done not a single Mataafan had been killed and thar Mutations and Germans have apparently no respect for the fighting abilAy of the American and British sailors. The Ma tlafans are anxious for the allied forces to come out and fight in the open. where they, with native implements of war, wiissI have chance against the modern Wean- ons used by the Americans.
 The writer says that Admiral Kautz gav;>. no warning of the bonIbardment and the -i when it commenced he thought a salu.<-1 had been fired. f4s
 According to the correspondent, Britie.B1 Consul Maxse is greatly blamed for thert trouble, and theresssems to be an inclina- tion among the GGsni2ns to hold the Britisn1 responsible for the War instead of the ! Americans. 1
 The German commander of the Fake, in ' addition to receiving on board the women and children of his own nationality, ex. tended to American and English women anu CHliuFtI the hospitality or his e0fD. which was greatly crowded. The German correspondent says that Admiral Kautz thanked the Germans for this courtesy by smelling the German consulate. The ad. miral later attributed the firing on the con- suate to poor ammunition. s5,
 The inmates of the French mission wei,e greatly alarmed at the firing and one girl was slightly wounded. Admiral, Kamtz was requested to take her on board the Phfla- delphia, but he declined, saying the ship was no institute for girls.
 The German writer adds: sl
 .What pity that Lieutenant Hobson was not board the Philadelphia" sN
 The Tanu men are badly scared and have to be guarded by the English to prevent their joining Mataafa. The writer says that stores are being openly plundered by the Mataafans and the English cannot stop it. They are afraid to go out on the main streets when the Mataafans are abroad
 On March "A Mataafa sent word to Ad- miral Iiautz that he would stop fighting if the whites would let him alone. The ad- miral replied that he would capture Ma taafa and hang him.
 The English are very much incensed against German Consul Rose, and Captain Sturdes wants to proceed against him as a spy. According to the German writer. the only cure for the trouble will be the sending of new consuls and new command CTS who will act in harmony.

The three unknown negro men were killed in the Flatham district adjacent to the Pana mines. The dead unknown negro woman was also killed in this district. Mrs HicKett was wounded while in her door near the Pana mine.
 The report tonight Is general that several miners were dead and dying in the fields near No. of the Pana company, having been killed by stray bullets, but owing to darkness it is impossible to ascertain the facts regarding the report.
 The impression is given credence also by the fact that dead negro miner was found after nightfall in the road near shaft No. 2.
 It was learned tonight that the names of the three dead non-union negro miners are James l.. James, of Greenville, S. C.; Hen ry Hoobs, of Birmingham, Ala, and Charles Watkins, Alabama.
 The first name of the dead negro woman is Julia Her last name cannot be ascer- tained. She is also from the south and said to be the wife of negro miner here.
