DidPreiident Hayes Nar rowly Escape Assas. sination ? Comment Awakened By A Sen sational Story of a Wash ington Clergyman. SptoUl Dtapatch to Tb B * . WABHiHoroN , October 7 , 1 a. m. The assertions by the Rev. Dr * A. 1 ? . Mason of the S. street Baptisl chuich In thli city , at the meeting in New York of the Baptists pastors , timing the discussion on ministerial call to prayer in connection with the election , have excited considerable at tention. He itatod that whe'n Pres- 'dent Hayei wu Inaogarated nearly every republican and democrat was under armtj.ihat clergymen had train ed with regiments , that an attempt was made to assassinate lliyeS while the procession was passing up Pennsyl vania avenno and that the carriage was torn in the straggle. Referring to the matter , The Star of Jast evening says : It appears that eomo very hiph officers took some interest in the alleged plot to which Dr. Mason , referred , though the fact that clergy men trained with the regiments Kith arms in their hands , to prevent it , does not eeem to have been known here at that time , nor Is the claim that the president's carriage was torn in the struggle authenticated. It ap pears that in the early patt of the winter of 1877 , during the great ex citement of the tlmea a detective , named Maxwell , ingratiated himself with some of the president's friends in Oolambas , Ohio , and made them believe that an attempt would be mide on Hayes' life on his way to Washington. Maxwell was therefore allowed to ride in the cars with the presidential party to prevent a consummation - summation of the plot , an almost ab surd proceedure at the best. Of course , aa is well known , there was no trouble of any kind. The president elect came through to thia city , via the Ponn. R. R in the night from Col umbus and spent the next day at the cepital and other public places , unattended except by a few personal friends , and possibly by Maxwell and hia "shadows. " When the inaugu ration took place , three days after , it may be remembered that four men in eilizons dross followed closely behind do pacsident'fl carriage in the proces sion on Pennsylvania avenue , at limes took hold of it. They were Maxwell and hisassistants. . On the way to the capllo1 Some man in the crowd on.the side- wa'k was either forced out of the line on the curb , or stepped out for a bet ter view. The president's" carriage passed and he was promptly knocked down by Maxwell. There was no "JggggK.BPr . - ? . jhe earring -Torn Tnlirwas BU tnar occnr- rcd In the development of the terrible _ pl51.-Tho8e wTio-bcHBTe o7 Maxwell secured his appointment af forwards on the secret service force , from which ho was shortly relieved. He was appointed a lieutenant in the army and was subsequently arrested and suspended and dismissed from the service. He was a policeman at one time at Springfield , and a good officer there. But this assassination plot is now regarded as a pure invention. Erutus W. Maxwell is the full name of the man. MERCHANT MAEINE. Conventional ! Boston to Consider Oar Shipping Interests.

LCTWELL , Mass. , Oct. 7 , 1 a. m. The moat destructive fire which has visited this city for many years occur- ed yesterday evening. It was first discovered in the dry room ot the Chase mills and under such headway thut it was impossible to check its ravages until the entire mill and the Faulkner mill adjoining were a masi of ruins. The mills are about a mile from the centre of the city , and the fire had obtained great headway when the fire department arrived. When the danger was seen thd operativen in the mills were warned and made their escape , only one being compelled to resort to the patent fire-escape. The Ohase mill , two hundred feet long by sixty deep , and five stories high , was leveled to the ground in leas than half an hour with all the machinery and stock. A falling wall set fire to the Faulkner mills , about twenty feet dis tant , and this burned in less than half an hour. The Chase mill was situated on the Concord river and was a sub stantially constructed brick building , being rebuilt in 1865 after being des troyed by fire. It gave employment to 325 persons , and consumed 600,000 of wool annually in the manufacture of fancy casimeres and cljaklng. Eighteen hundred pieces of finished goods were destroyed. The office of the mill , with the books and records , was burned. Loss , $250,000 ; insur ance , $200,000. The Faulkner mill employed 140 hands , a majority of them females , In the manufacture of woolen goods. The mill was about 150 feet long , 65 feet deep and five stories high. The loss Is estimated at $157- DOO. The fire was a scene of grandeur , as the flames were seen through * the dense masses of amoke ; the crowds of operatives had left their outside clothing in the mill and stood massed at the scene of destruction they had so fortunately escaped from. At one ; lmo it was oxpacted that the largo boiler * in the mills wonld explode , but this added horror waa providentially , averted. Bowing New York Democrats. Special Dispatches to Tnm Bn. NEW YORK , October 7. 1 s. m. It Is reported that John Kelly and John Fox the leader of the Irving hall democrat ) have agreed upon a joint city and county ticket. Mem- bera of the latter wing openly declare that unless Kelly concedes to them the right to nominate the candidate tor mayor that they will break with Tammany. There Is alao trouble over the vacancy in the presidential electoral ticket on account of the res ignation of county clerk Butler. Irving hall favors Gen. Caulfield father-in-law of Butler , while the .Kelly rJSen favor ex-Lt-Gov. Dor- sheimer. The probabilities are more in favor of Caulfield , bnt Tammany men assert that Dorshelmer Is certain of. the nomination. A majority of the seven members of the state com mittee from this city are to make th e selection. Granger's Dynamite Floe. Special DUpatch to Tha Bee. DELPHI , Ind. , October 7 1 , a. m.

NEW YORK , Oct. fi. Gen. Hancock was interviewed by a raporter of Truth concerning an interview between Rev. Dr. Fowler and Gen. Grant , publish ed yesterday , In which Grant criti cises Hancock severely. Reporter "Have yon seen the ar ticle purporting to have emanated from ex-President Grant ! " Hancock "Yep/tray attention , wss called to it by some of my friends ; " Reporter. "What action do you in tend taking in relntion to ii ? " Hancock. "I shall not notice the matter until I learn authoritatively that Grant is responsible , for the article. I cannot believe it possible that a man like Grant , who has twice filled ( he high- eat executive office in the gift of the pocplo of thia country , could have entered the arena of politics at tiiia iun "uro of adiirj , in the manner ho haa. " Reporter. "Then you do not bo- liexe Grant is responsible for the ar ticle. " Hancock. "It seems incredible to me that ho can be. The only advice I can gire you gentlemen of the press is to telegraph to Grant and find out whether ho did or did not use the words attributed to him. If he did I shall know what to do. I cannot be lieve it , however , Grant must bo an abused man. He never would have uttered the atatements attributed to him , and therefore , I must wait and see what he saya. " He Can't Believe it. Sceclal Dlapatch to The Bar. NEW YOHE , October 6 , 10 p. m. Gen. Hancock was interviewed by another reporter to-day relative to the Grant interview with Rov. Fowler , Hancock said : You can s y that I find it hard to believe that Grant hai said such things about mo Reporter. Then you think he never said that you were "vain , ambi tious ahd weak" and that you have bsfii "CMZV to bo president" for the Iast-8 years ? li.iucuuK. I have no positive , evidence that ho so expressed him self. Roportsr. But Rav. Dr. 0. H. Fowler nays thitthe ox-president did make use of such expressions and the Chicago Inter-Ocean has published an interview with the ox-president in which the principal s'atements ' of Rev. Dr. Fowler are comfirmedj' Hancock. "I mean just this ; thus far my knowledge of what Gen. JjrantJiMjjctuaUy saidjs co jyjed.Jp ; vFKnt may ba called hearsay evi dence. * Lhave read what has been at- .ttibuted to him as uttered in news papers. NOW I shall take'p-iina to as certain from authoritive sources just what Grant said about roe. Reporter. Will you apply to him personaly for information ? Hancock That would be the best course to pursue. I mean to get at the truth. Reporter If you find that tha ex- president has really made the asser tions derogative to your character , will you make a reply ? Hancock Yes , if necessary. Rsporier Then I am to understand that if General Grant has assailed your character , as he is reported to have done , you will make a general donla' ? Hancock 1 shall certainly deny ovcrj thing that ii untrue after I have sifted the matter to the bottom and have decided to reply I will prepare a cireful and comprehensive statement for publication , Reporter How much time will be required for you to hear personally from Grant in this matter. Hancock I cannot say , but I shall lose no more time than I can help in get iug at the bottom of the matter. Rynorter. What reason have you for doubling that Grant has attacked your character ? Hancock In the first place he lacked good ground upon which to at tack me , and in the second j lace , he is a soldier and a graduate of West Point. As such he would net now , it seems to me , BO far overstep the bounds of truth and gentlemanly pro prietv as to attempt to injure me , even in a private conversation. Reporter Will your formal reply to Grant , if you find it necessary to make one , bo in the shape of A letter ? Hancock I can't say at present. That is a matter for after considera tion. Reporter What is Grant's feeling towards you personally ? Hancock I have always supposed that ho was a man who wonld not al low any ill will to influence him , to wards mo , and I shall not change my opinion unless I am obliged to do so by indisputable evidence. FEOM LINCOLN. The State House Wing Politics and Personalities , To the Editor ot TDK Bin. LINCOLN , Neb. , Oct. G A half hour's ramble about the state capitol to-day revealed one fact that will not be relished by the legislators to be , viz : that the new wing to the old con cern will not be ready for occupancy this winter. It is not possible for Boss Stout to complete it in time for the next session of the leg's'ature. He may ba able to finish up the apartment intended for the house of representa tives but it will crow'd , him to do even that much. POLITICAL STEINOS. There is little doing yet in Lancis ter county in a political way , and probably will not until after the oppo sition place a ticket in the field , if they do such a thing. Rumors of a fusion between sore-headed republi cans , greeabackers and democrat * has been talked of and may yet be bronght about The Paddock "strikers" here abouts may be included in the list o'f kickera , for outside of Gere , of the Journal , they seem to have no Pad- desk votes in this delegation. Hence John R. Clark and Joe McDowall , the head strikers for "Pad. " in this city , are not pleased with the lay-ou.1. They bragged all through the early summer that Paddock would haw six vote - u . from hero. AsfAraByoHr correspond ent can observe , tbe lafi lays about like thi& : Gero ia for Paddock , Pierce , * r"0uan ! and Gralvunare-for whoever H'rquettessys ; Wheedoajtill bo for Mison , and Abbobt for'Pmncly.

Speaking of the valorous Valentine recalls hia miserable attempt t-t tpeech-maklnt ; it the Opera House recently. If Dawra knowa hia business ho will re call Valentine and send him back to West Point and leave talking to those who can. Mr. Dawes might do an other thing , and it is his duty , too. He should refuse to give dates to men who have no ability toajeak , and like wise to men who are so odious as to drive men out of the party rather than convert them to it. The idea of Church Ho wo being tent about over the country to teach people what re publicanism IB ! A man who has ba- 1 mged to every parly under the eliin- ing sun and who has a record such as a modest man would hide from , is not tbo man to inspire confidence to any very great degree , and'nothing but a superabundance of cheek could aid in asking for dates. All decent republi cans would prefer to have no cun- paigu at all than to have the state cen tral committee give dntea and with them respectability to such as he. It la a shame. The University , under the akillful guidance of Chancellor Fairfield , is gaining in influence and strength every day , notwithetanding the criti cism of the Dangeroua Brooka.
