THE attempted assassination of the

Of universal sympathy. The dispatches
say the shot was fired by an insane man,

FIRES AT
SHERIFF.

White Hall, KY, April 5.-Gener-
al Cassius NJ. Clay who has been
brooding for years alorc in his pala-
tial home at White Hall, in Madison
county, aroused from his lcthargy to-
day and started on the warpath.
An attempt was made to serve
writ ON the old man by Sheriff Colycr
aided by Deputy Terril. The men
met with a hot reception, the Gener-
al standing in the doorway and firing
shot after shot at the officers of the
law who concealed themselves behind
the large oak trees in the yard. En-
asperated at length they returned the
fire and it is thought that General
Clay was struck although it is impOs-
Siblc to learn, as no one can approach
the house.
General Clay lived alone except for
servant for some time after he was
deserted by his 12-year-old wife in
1895, but recently he sent for his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mary b. Clay,
to come and live with him. She has
now been keeping house for him for
more than year. General Clay
some week ago instructed her to go
and see the other members Of the
family and get them to relinquish
all claims to his property. 1t was
his evident wish to will it to his
chlld-wife whom he still loves
When Mrs. Clay returned her faith
cr.in-law met her at the door with Il
revolver in his hand. He had all the
appearance of maniac and to soothe
him she said:
''Father, it is all right"
"You lie,' he shricked, and forced
her from the door, She returned to
Richmond and had writ issued for
her furniture which was at White
Hall This she put into the hands
of Sheriff Colyer, who attempted to
serve it but was driven away by
force of arms.
General Clay had two men with
him in the hou Sc who as sisted him
in loading the weap ons VIII lie he fired.
They were Bud Litrell and jim
Bolin. Bolin was driven from the
house during the afterno on by Clay,
as he feared ho wo uld prove a traitor.
He was captured by the Sheriff and
declares that Cla y is Graz y and that
he and Litrell we're afraid not TO do
his bidding.

ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

Sometimes the taxpayers OF New
Castle county make great howl
about the bills OF the Sheriff for
board OF tramps. To any one who
is conversant with the condition
OF affairs the case is plan. The
army OF tramps make their head
quarters in the west yard and
Farnhurst. During the winter
nights they are compe!led; to seek
shelter In Wilmington tramps arc
allowed to remain at the police sta-
tion only one night. If they ap. !
pear again the next day they are
charged with vagrancy and COM
mitted to Jail. Should the men, no
matter why they are tramps they
are human beings, enter a freight
car they are arrested and for 40
davs are kept in jai! at the expense
of the taxpayers. Onnights during
February droyes OF the unfortunate
fellows were seen going to the jail.
When the Thermometer registered
u the men had to seek shelter.
They were allowed to Esleep in a.
warm place and given IN nearly all
instances two meals. With fifty
men each night and on many nights
more it is easy to see how the board
bills for tramps are created. The
men 60 there or rather are COM
mtted there and the Sheriff must
receive them. He recognizes them h
as human beings and leeds them
The law provides for the payment
OF the Sheriff Tor feeding prisoners. 4
The commitments are evidence that
the men were there and fed aud
therefore people who do not know
the true state OF affairs at ths Jail
