GEN. LAMAR ASSAULTED.
NOMINEE FOR CONGRESS HAS DIES
PERATE BATTLE.

Attacked in Office at Tallahassee by
Walter Taylor, a Precinct Clerk In
Recent Primary, Who Demanded
RetractfOn of Charges-Lamar As
sauIted With Heavy stick and n
Revolver Drawn by His Antago-
nist-Of This Lamar Deprived Him
and Generously Spared the Young
Mans Life.
Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. A desper-
ate and murderous attack was made
this morning about 10 o'clock on At
torney General Lamar, nominee OF the
recent primary for Congress from this
district, in his temporary Office in the
northern part of the city, by Walter
L. Taylor, who was in the late pri-
mary clerk of precinct IA of this
county, where charges of fraud were
brought by Lamar's friends. Taylor
was accompanied by his father who
lives near Lloyd, Jefferson county.
Taylor demanded of Lamar his sigma
ture of a paper disclaiming reflections
upon him. Lamar stated that he
would leave for Monticello by the noon
train. to return tomorrow and that
he would then consider the matter and
give a written statement of his posi-
ton. Taylor demanded instant sig
nature. This Lamar declined. Tay-
lor assaulted him, striking him several
heavy blows with a stick. Lamar,
who was sitting in a chair when at
tackled arose and closed with Taylor.
After pressing Taylor across the room
the latter broke loose, dra wing a pis-
toll and presenting it quickly at La
mar Before he could shoot Lamar
took the pistol from him. Lamar
then called in his clerk, Walter Tay-
lor's uncle, the father following. La
mar declined to kill Taylor. stating so
to the clerk, and handed the pistol to
him. The clerk and father were not
in the room during the first part of
the difficulty.
Another dispatch from Tallahassee
says that Walter Taylor succeeded in
retaking the pistol from his uncle, and
that he then showed it in Gen. Lamar's
face and compelled him to sign the pa
Fer presented, and that the General
was now Frustrated as the result of the
affair
The trouble grew out of charges
made at the count of the primary bal
lots by the Leon county committee.
Precinct 10, of which Walter Taylor
was clerk, showed only two votes for
Lamar. This was confronted with af-
fidavits from fourteen citizens of the
precinct that they had cast their votes
for Lamar at that box. This caused
some warm talk by the candidates be-
fore the committee and has been the
subject of subsequent investigation.
Young Taylor, as clerk of the precinct,
is said to have taken the ballot box
home with him for the night and out
of this circumstance has grown the
charges for which he sought exonera-
ton by Gen. Lamar, with the sensa-
tional results stated.

for postponement OF the race, but that
the blacksmith had insisted on the con-
tract being carried oct to the letter.
There are quite a number, however,
who incl.ne TO the opinion that Molly's
misfortune has been exaggerated in or
der to influence the betting, and that she
VIII face the starter in no way the worse
for her tumble
BE that as it may, the fact remains
that there was lots of Molly money in
sight yesterday a chunk of it ernanating
from party who is very close to the
stable. And this, too. in face of the fact
that Racery viii have several pounds the
better jockey.
Molly. they say. has come on a whole
lot since last June, but she has yet TO
show herself capable of negotiating six
furlongs In a race in better than LII.
Racery was in no shape when Virgie A
beat her six months ago, and when
right, is a fair mare. She has run three
quarters of a mile in ia at the coast.
and as horses seem to regain their best
form in Hawaii. there seems to be no
legitimate reason why she should not
come near duplicating her best running
this afternoon and win.

WHALES ASHORE ON MAINE COAST
Big Fellows Trapped in Narrow cove
at Eastport

at Eastport.
Two finback whales. each about for
ty-five feet long, which have been dis
porting themselves in Passamaquoddy
bay for month, are now made fast,
dead from bullets and harpoons, to
the railroad bridge, and are being
view by excursionists attracted by the
novelty they present from all over
eastern Maine
The big fish made their way up the
narrow Cobscook river recently and
in seeking to return to the bay lost
their way and passed under the toll
bridge connecting the inland city of
Eastport, Me, with the mainland at
Perth, four miles out They were
trapped in a small cove, shut in on
the east by the toll bridge and on the
west by the wooden bridges of the
Washington county railroad.
All Thursday the two whales made
the circuit of the cove, where the
water is shallow, and more than 900
persons watched them as they tried to
get out of the narrow channel. The
cove comes up to the shores of the
Passamaquoddy Indian village of
pleasant point, five miles from East
port, and at least 100 Indian hunters
followed the mammoth fish in canoes
for thirty-six hours before they finally
shot them. Fifty of the best rifle
shots of Eastport had collected along
the banks with all kinds of rifles and
the crack shots of company l, I'd regi-
ment, were on the scene for several
hours trying to wound the whales.
One of the Indian canoes was upset
by one of the whales and three In
dians had a narrow escape from
drowning in the icy waters. The backs
of the whales were perforated by
countless bullets, and it was only af-
ter long fight that the game fellows
surrendered and were harpooned by
the Indians.
The carcasses will be given to the
Indians as soon as the sightseeing is
over. says a New York World special,
and the bones and oil will be sold by
the red men. These are the only
whales seen on this part of the coast
for many years.

HENRY ". IN NINETEENTH CENTURY
Body of English Monarch Exhumed
at Canterbury.

at Canterbury.
In 1882 a discussion arose as to
whether Henry ". was really buried
in Canterbury cathedral, according to
tradition. The then Dean of Canter-
bury, the Hon. and Very Rev. Richard
Bagot (afterward Bishop of Oxford,
invited my husband to be present at
the opening of the royal tomb. This
was done in the middle of night in the
presence of few of the cathedral au-
thorities and specially invited spec
tators.
The body of the king was found
wrapped in lead and leather. For
few moments after this covering was
removed the face of the king was re-
vealed in state of perfect preserva-
ton, as though still indued with life.
As the spectators looked. all crumbled
away into dust, and my husband de-
clared that it was a most weird and
impressive scene, which, indeed, with
the pickering torches and the solemn
surroundings of the ancient cathedral,
it must have been.
A portion of the kings beard, which
was of reddish color, was cut off
before the tomb was closed and my
husband was given piece of it by his
uncle. He gave this piece to the Duke
of Northumberland of that day, feel
ing that the hair of the monarch
whom the Percys placed on the throne
and then helped to overthrow would
find an appropriate place among the
historical relics of the family. The
hair is now preserved at Alnwick.-

Two Good Examples of Tact.

Henry Loomis Nelson, in his article
in the May Century, on Washington
society. tells these anecdotes of the
capital as representative of the light
and shade of official life:
Madame" said an old diplomat at
his own table, 81 have some bonbons
here from Paris. They have medal
lions of the potentates of the world,
and l have had your rulers face
stamped on one of them. Is it not a
good likeness?" And he handed a
chocolate to the woman on his right
who, for reasons of her husbands, did
not like the new President.
I'VE have no rulers in this coun-
try" said the gracious guest, throw
ing the chocolate under the table
The host S attention had been attract
ed elsewhere, and he did not see the
insult, but he was aware of something
by the silence which followed. How
ever, before he could know what had
happened, a young woman's voice
said to the butler: Wont you find
that bonbon which Mrs. c.
dropped? l want to look at it,
One day a delighted and awkward
new statesman was taking tea at the
house of a clever woman, and was
suddenly plunged into terror, agony
and shame by the annihilation of the
delicate and costly Sevres cup from
which he had been drinking, but be-
fore his palate was dry or his tongue
responsive to his saved mind, the
hostess broke its mate, saying to the
servant as she did so: Never put
these cups on the table again, Smith;
they're too brittle for use."
