John Jamhor, who was convicted Saturday of an at tempt to kill ex-Mayor Secor with a dyn amite Iiomh a little over n year ago, was yesteiday sentenced to tin years in prison. An appeal will he taken to the supreme court. fc Lat;:k Jamhor attempted suicide this afternoon by taking morphine. His condition was discovered in time to save his life. A Hard Post to Fill. WAsmxftToN, Nov. 8. The appoint ment of i'rauk D. Hill, f Minnesota, as consul at Asuncion, I'araguny makes the the fourth attempt which the state de partment has made to fill this position since th- present administration began. In November, 18S0, Frederick Ellison, of Indiana, was appointed. He made some inquiries and found that the cli mate was so unhealthy that Americans found it ditiieult to live there, conse quently he declined the offer of the place and it remained unfilled until Nov. of the same year, when S imael A. Wol ton, of Kentucky, was offered the place and nominated for it, but he, too, de clined last March. Eule Letcher, of Mis souri, was anxious to represent his coun try as consul, and he was appointed to Asuncion. Now he has grown tired of the place and resigned. Otic of the dif ficulties in the way of filling the office is the fact that the salary is so small and the expenses of reaching the post so great that it is a very undesirable place from a financial standpoint. The salary is only 1.500 a year, with an allowance not to exceed 300 for office rent, while tlie cost of the trip for a single person is $4i"t, and if the consul has a wife and child he cannot get them to his post feu less than $1,000 at the lowest estimate. Tha Captured' Bombs. CniCAcso, Nov. 7. Sheriff Matson t? is morning .-aid there was no eloubt as to the nature of the stuff f und in Lingg's bombs. That part of the filling had been takcu out of a couple of tlie pipes and exploded, and found to be the strongest kind of dynamite. The am nesty people have their tables on the streets again this morning, but there sj-ms to be less disposition on the part of the people to sign the petitions than j Saturday, and but Lw names are being secure d. Louis Lmg is dcilmt and sullen this mo.ning. II? put o:i hi oldest suit of1 clothes, 'i pair of gray trousers and black ' jackvt. put his feet Upon the little iron, cot and began to reael a piper. Ilia cell j is upon the lower tier &nl looks out upon the exaining cage. Reporters may ob.-erve him at a distance of eight feet. Lingg was restless, and every few mo ments he would jerk his head around and stare through the gratetl door with a wild look. Presently he got up, planted himself in front of the cell door, thrust his hands Hito his pockets and looked straight before him upon the contracted field of his viion. He saw nothing but watchful clusters of report ers and suspicious muscular bailiffs. He was nervous. He would lean against the wall, sit down on the edge of the cot, get up, put his elbows on the cross-bars of lils cell and rest his face on his hanels. A favorite attitude wits to stand firmly erect, folel his arms over his broad chest and ga.e out bristling and femr i us. None of the seven were let out of their cells this morning, and Jailor Foltz says they won't be today. Mrs. Schwab, Mrs. Eugel and Mrs. Parsons fame to sie their husbands, but the best they could elo was to call out "good morning" and send up some papers. No packages of any kind wire allowed to go in. Crushed by tho Cars Eijoau, Neb., Nov. 8. John Moss holder, a young man of this city, twenty four years of age and a brakeman on the I?, it M. railroad, was killed yesteaelay afternoon nt Sliickley while coupling ears. His body was ci ushetl by project in r timbers. ITEMS OF INTEREST. There is a movement on foot to form a press association, to be composed of the newspaper men of Manitoba ami tho northwest, outside of Winnipeg. Free veterinary clinics are held at the Illinois university, and the farmers of the neighborhood, who bring in their cick stock, derive much benefit, as do tho students. A granite tile on exhibition in a show window at Detroit is over 800 years old, and said is to have been taken from tlie tomb of William tho Conqueror at Caen, NormaniH-. A railroad station agent at Dunkirk, N. Y., in his leisure time lias whittled out of 280 pieces of wood a perfect mexlel of a locomotive and tender, lie was live months at the job. At tho mint at Hamburg, Germany, they are at present coining 25,000,000 pieces of bronze coins for the kingdom of Siam, Indo-China. The bronze plates are supplied by a Rhenish factory. Tlie finest relic of the mound builders yet discovered was dug up from a mound near Neillsville, Va., recently. It is an implement resembling an adze ami is made of pure copper. It weighs four ami one-half pounds. Tlie queen regent of Spain has signed a decree authorizing the construction e)f six ironclads of 7.000 tons each, which shall be capable of attaining a speed sixteen to twenty miles an hour; also four largo and sixty small torpedo lxats. Tlie cloak and helmet of red feathers given by Capt. Cook to the Ling of the Sandwich Islands and worn by the king w as recently found in a closet at York shire, England, where they had been lo.-.t for many years. The Philadelphia Times avers that cite of its writers this summer "did England, the Low Countries, the Rliino and Swit zerland, spent a week in Rome, another in Paris and a longer time in London, traveling comfortably and seeing all that the average tourist expect3 to see, and got back to Philadelphia with something left out of $300." Ten j ears ago the eighteen principal wall paper manufacturers in this country formed a pool, ami held to uniformity in prices till last July, when the pool was broken. But the disastrous effect on the smaller concerns predicted at tlie time has not followed, and prices for standard goods have not altered a hair. Cheaper grades, however, have not been so low in price in twenty yeara as at present. A Cleveland minister endeavored to ex plain in his sermon the vexed question where Cain got Ids wife without marry ing his sister. He advanced the theory that previous to tho advent of Adam the earth was peopled by an unknown but highly civilized race and that it was from the daughters of there prehistoric settlerj that Cain chose his spouse. An iron column, twenty-three feet long and weighing over 6,000 pounds, part of a new lighthouse being built, was recently landed at Bishop Pock, England, and a Etortu coming up, was left lashed by a half inch chain at each end to strong eyebolts. Three days afterwarel the workmen returned end found that the column had been tossed up by the waves twenty feet lo the top of the reck, where it was swaying about like a piece of timber. How Clay la Tested. Tlie tourists made a journey through Newton's firebrick works recently and found one of the members cf tho firm tasting of bit3 of blue Jersey clay in the big yard in the rear of the wcrks. "This is the oidy sure wav to distinguish a Gist class quality of clay, such as we use in the manufacture of firebrick," ho said, as he nibbled at another piece of lighter colored clay. "If the clay has a salty taste I know that it is genuine and will answer our purpose, but if it has a flat and dull taste it is not genuine and , will not answer. Firebrick 13 made cf a mixture of various qualities of clay, which is ground into a thick paste with small quantities of various kinds of Band." Albany Journal. YANKEE EDITOR IX PAIilS.

Eefore tho lii-J; i.sue we (I use the plural as referring not to I.Ialabouehe, but to my a'do associate, 21 r. Albert C. Ives, formerly of Tho Itnv York Time:-) sti-.K-!: another snag. To properly herald tho coming birth, a quarstity of posters had Lee.i pn pared for placarding the vacant walls of I';: l is, It wes our un tutored American idea that to order and pay for a few thousand fJanimg bills, w.d to hire men to stick them to the walk, comprised ail tho process necessary for this j leasing form of attracting public attention. Ingenious, barbarians that v.e were, wo had fallen into licw- errors. First, wc narrowly escaped ar resfc for cflixing one of the placards to our own prcinir.es without previously having it stamped with the oilieial ?tamp. Eveiy bill must, under penalty of tho law, bear tho gov ernment stamp as conspicuously as though it were going t ) be sent by mail. The stamps vary in price according to the sizo of tho pester, but the rule is rigid and the itenalty for its infringement severe. Further tha.t this, a good part of our stock of placards wi re seized because, forsooth, the announcements had been printed upon white paper! The tiro cf white paper is reserved by tho French re public to itsedf for such proclamations cr ether .mnomiecment.i as it iinds necessary 1 o plaeard about the capital. Red we'could use, er blue or jjca green or any shade e;f color whatsoever tiud. might please our aesthetic! fancy, but the posters which we Lad prc i.umed to order priuUd in Thick and whiio mus.t Lo destroyed, ind destroyed they wc;v., ruthlessly. .

Cut though thi: statement v.a j true, it was, according to I reueu law, illegal. e were i iromptly sued by tho enemy, who estimated his damages r.t 20,000 francs (.4,(M0). A LOr.O LAW SUIT. The law under which our behavior had be come actionable w as t i:at eonetn rev.eo de loyalo or "unfair competition." We mig'.it say whatever wo cheso with regard to our cvs i circulation, but we must rot make com parisons derogatory to our neighbors. A long lawsuit, followed. The truth of our statement was not questioned did not, in fact, enter into consideration at ali. The only point at issue was that v.e La i made comparisons odious and presumably damaging to our rival. Accordingly the tiibunal decided against us, and we were mulcted. Another litigation was that with ZI. Clcin eneeau. I Lad sent a reporter to interview the great Radical leader and had satisfied myself of tho genuineness c f the interview. In it occurred tho ex u-ossioii "cliques tap agcuMjs" (noisy cliques), applied by J.I. Clera eneeau to a section of his own j;olitical fol lowing. Tho anti Ckoueneeau papens got held of this phrase and used it with decided effect. A few dayu afterward I received word from Ciemeuecau that we must deny tho whole interview. I replied thai I would rnolif;,' any part of it upon 21. Ck-meneeau's authority, but that to stultify ourselves by swallowing the entire story, even to the fact that an interview had taken place, was qnito out of the question. Thereupon suit was brought against, me. damages le:i!g Ir.id at lfiO.OOO francs. The French courts deeid.ed in Clemeiiccaus favor. It did not apiicar to be at ail a question of fact cs based upon tho evidence. The undi:-;uted testimony as to the occurrence of an interview did not ap parently come within the purview of tho court. It was simply assumed to bo tha right of 21. Ckmcneeau to insist upon any retraction ho wished. Had Lo chosen to aik us to deny not only the fact that he had Lcen interviewed, but even that such a paper as The 21orning News existed, I am inclined to thir.k the law would have sustained him.
