George Uothroek , a young faniicr , well known and rotpjcted and re cently married , ivus shot three times whllo In his own residence , three miles east of that place , by William Dullard , who ts a very tough chnrnctcr. Bullqrd drove to Hath- rock's residence at midnight , and , on a pretense - tense that some frlom ) was sick , asked him to accompany him to ilopo. Knturock disbe lieved bis story nnd refused to accompany him. Dullard turned to leave the residence and Huthrock retired. Bullard then returned to a window near which Hut brock slept , and which was raised but the shutters closed , and opened fire. Two balls took effect , ono In the loft arm nuu the other In the neck , making flesh wounds. Sprlnglne from his bed , Hatbrock ran from his residence and was root at the door by Bullard , who hoped to complete his murderous work , and who ngnlu opened ilro upon him. This time the ball outcrcd Hath- rock's face , below tbo right eye , and rnnpod downward nnd could not bo found. This shot knocked young Knthrock down , and , think ing ho hud finished his work , Bullard lloJ. Neighbors wcro summoned , and a farmer by the name of Gcorgo HnlTiimSter sent for a physician. Dullard was In n buggy and Huff- : : mstcr was taking across n Held. Not knowIng - Ing Dullard , bo asked a rldo to town. On the way ho made known his .mission , when Dullard drew his revolver und began to flro. Seeing his dangerous position , UufTirnstcr grubbed his hand and , by so doing , saved his life , but received n bullet through his loft arm. In the scufllo Dullard received from his own pistol , either purposely or ac cidentally , a ball through bis loft lung , but the wound Is not futal. The wounds of Hat brock uro thought to be fatal , as two balls are In his neck and cannot bo probed for. Whllo the wound of Huffmustor is very pain ful , It Is not dangerous. Nothing In all the history of Hope has so thoroughly aroused the citizens there as last night's bloody work , nnd ns there WHS a bitter feeling already existing against Dullard , it is thought ho will bo lynched. Dullard bus boon in bad repute In bis homo town for some tlmo ; and talk was loud against him at the tlmo of the lute fires at that place , and soico very dnm- aclng ovldcni'O wai secured against liltn. He Is about twenty-three years of ngo nnd addicted to drink , and when under the influ ence of It has always been considered a very dangerous man , not that ho was bold with his meanness , but that ho wns sulking and deceitful.

If Tun Bic : Invosti- nates the matter still further , It will find that oven more of the m'jmbjn of that commlttoo were Influenced. ' " TUB Br.E man asked for moro Information nnd ho was glvsn It ns follows : "I wusamom- her of the house committee on ways and means. Wo bad eleven members. Sometimes wo wcro n bio to huvo a full mooting. Some times wo worn't. 1 c.in recall nil the names of tbo committee except two. There were Mlchols , of Buffalo , chairman ; Glllilan , Lun- c.'Htor ; Cram , JolTerson ; Shryock , CaSs ; Guflln , Adams ; Storms , Nonviha ; Stuart , York ; Sodermun , Phclps , mid Stevens , of Flllmoro. All tncso were present nt the mooting nt which tbo commllteo decided to recommend the passage of J4,400 to pay thn dnllclency which hnd been occasioned during the first year of the management. "At the first mooting of the commlttoa when the deficit appropriation was reached , I demanded nu itemized statement of tbo deficiency.Vo were asked formerly $30,000 and 1. could see no Justification in voting for such an ox- pendlturo unless I could bo convinced that that amount of money hnd really been ex pended , or rather that such n debt had been contracted in the interest of the stnto. "Dr. Test was then present. Ho did not socm prepared for my demand , and , In nn embarrassed manner , 'snld that bo did not bnvo such a statement with him , but that ho could easily procure one , und would hnvo it brouuht from the asylum insldo of two days. "Well , we hold another meeting. There wcro nine members of thocommltto3 present. Test wns tbcro. I made n demand again for nn itemized account of the deficiency , but Test simply smiled , looked significantly nt a certain member' of the committee , nnd at the snmo tlmo some Irrelevant question was In troduced. As a consequence the domund made upon Tnst was forgotten , and in a mln- ute the matter of nllowlnir the deficiency np- proprintlon for the Hastings asylum was put to the vote of the commlttoo. Several mem bers of the committee who had bucked with mo against the appropriation , I was sur prised to find , nt the last moment voted for what I now consider to have been n stcnl. " "Our sldo was outvoted. Wo resolved to fight against ttio appropriation on the floor of the house , not because we wcro not willing to give the Institution what it required bill be cause wo wnntcd to bo within the luw. The law you know Insists that the legislature shall make no appropriation for a deficiency unless because of catastrophe , and oven then nn Itomited account is demanded. Wo could not got that statement , . I concluded there wns something wrong and voted ugalust the appropriation. "When the appropriation came upon the house , these who hnd fought It iu commlttoo fought it there also. Wo showed that tbo supcriutcndont was afraid to muko an item ized account , nnd yet this statement was contradicted by ono member of tbo commit tee , who said bo hnd seen such n statement. I can produce you four of the eight members of thnt committee who were present nt the last mooting who never saw such a statement. I understnnd , however , how thut wns nccomplished. Wo hoard that there were n couple of meetings of tbo committee held of which we were not , notified. At these meetings there may have been nn alleged showing of Items , but If so it was to a crowd who hnd been 'influenced. ' It was never shown to us , oven when wo demanded it. "Wo got nbout fifty Votes In the house , but wo could see whcro the manipulators got in their work. " ' How largo nn appropriation would j-ou hnvo favorcdi" "Not a penny without a showing. I ox- nmlned the records of the nudltor myself nnd , to save mo , I could not find that the in stitution had run more than from $18,000 to 20,000 behind. And yet Test asked for $28,000 nnd got It. Ho worked the deal him self , although I think ho hnd a couple of cap pers with him. 1 know where they dropped soina of the boodle that was raised to lobby the thing through nnd where tbey gave away the snap. Hero , In my mind , wns a deliberate steal of $3.000. toeetber with the assessment paid by the Hastings merchants , and you can readily see how much of the sinews of war they worked with. "I'll say this more , there was no appropri ation rushed through with moro haste than were those of Hastings. They got what they wanted. Dr. Test , I can safely say , wns down there four days and nights a week. And I snld a number of times that if the asylum could get along without him for that length of time for two or three months , I couldn't see the necessity of hav- Ine a superintendent at nil. " "Did you over learn whnt had occusloncd the deficiency I" "Yes. When the asylum was opened , the appropriation was intended to euro for only 100 patients. It became necessary , however , to shelter UU ) . The appropriation , us a consequence - sequence , was Inadequate. Dosldcs , some of it had been expended to provide sleeping rooms for attendants und In other ways to keep the bulldlntl from falling down. Not withstanding I am satisfied from $18,000 to $20,000 would hnvo sutUced. Yes , I nm satis fied members were fixed nnd you may refer to mo those who may think they are sus pected. I am not surprised thut a manage ment so full of trickery and deceit has at last boon found out. " Tennessee Negro Lynched. TIICNTON , Tcnn. , July 5.

It , 1-4 stated on the highest nuthority that when the Washington physi cians diagnosed Mr Dlalno'.t cuso they fount ] thnt wherever a swelling occurred there were Liuall callouses or corns , A physician said tonight that the very fnct that Mr. Dlnitio hud boon placed on a milk diet wns proof positive that his kidneys wcra nlTocted. Of course Dlalno'.s family Is fully aware of the nlnrmlng slnto of bis health , but It is doubtful If Mr.'Dlalno knows himself what his trouble is , Some tlmo ago Congress man Mlllikcn said that Mr. Illalno wns a thorough hypocondrlno and thnt ho gave up on the slightest attack of illness. At that time Mr. Mllllkon snld thnt If tlio secretary really know what , his trouble wns It would nlmost cause his death. Not later than two days neo John H. Mc Lean of tbo Cincinnati lOuqulrer , who Is now at Dar Harbor and who Is n life long friend of Mr. Dlalne , wrote to n friend In this city that tbo secretary of state was n very sick : man and be feared that n permanent recov ery wns out of the question. In his letter Mr. McLean Intimated thut on previous oc casions when Mr. Dlnluo wns attacked bo bad rallied quickly , but now he seemed to lose ground continually. True Condition Withhold. There is no question about the true state of Mr. Dlamo's health boinu' withhold from the public , it has always boon the purpose of attending physicians to Issue encouraging ? bulletins concerning his health , und they uro partluulurly careful to see tlr.it the proas as sociations are furnished with cheerful re ports. Tuko the case of Samuel J. Randall , for instance , while ho was lying on his death bed his friends and tbo physicians circulated the most oncour.iglng reports. Even two days before his death ono ol the modlcil men declared there was absolutely no danger , and they tried to spread the impression thut Mr. Hundnll would recover. It is claimed thnt all of Mr. Dlnlno's symp toms . polut to Dright's disease tha puffy sacs under . his eyes , hU ghastly pillor and the abstemious life ho his led for ninny years. So firm Is the conviction that this dreadful m\luly : has tn'Ucn possession of Mr. Dlnlno , that bis suc cessor us secretary of state is being discussed and the name ot ox-Minister John W. Foster Is being passed from lip to lip. Wrote HIM Kortlfjnatlon. A close friend of Secretary Dlalno said to night that Just before Mr. Dlalno left Now York for Bur Harbor ho wrote out his resig nation ns secretary of state nnd forwurded it to President Harrison. At that time ho was low spirited und despondent nnd ho told his fpinlly that his lust public net hnd been accomplished. The rusignntlon wns rocolved atul the president was disposed to accept It at llr.st , but concluded that he would lay It before fore bis cabinet o Ulcers. When ho did so Mr. Dlnlno's friends urged him not to accept It because when the secretary realized for certain that ho could not return to his duties his hypochondria \vould assert Itself nnd ho would give up to the disease that Is slowly but surely sapping his life away. It was dfi elded not to consider tbc resignation , and President Harrison wrote Mr. Dluino a very cheerful declination , In which ho said that a few months In the bracing air of Dar Harbor would restore bin : to bis wonted activity.
