" OUR FUEL SUPPLY. €'9nl Tustead of Wood for Domestic and : I auniicturing Prrpozes. Over a Million Tons of Coal Consumed in Chicago Last Year., The Illinois Coal Fields---Their Loca- tion and Extent. In every new locality the first fuel nsed is sure to be that essicst obtained, and for years, in Chicago and vicinity, wood was the only arti- cle of fuel consumed. But the high price of this foel, in this comparatively sparsely-wooded Tegion, began some years since to bring forward the substitution of our Ilinois coals ; and it is remarkable how general achange has taken place, extending to all forms of domestic use, to manufacturing, and most exclusively of all, for railroad purposes. ESTIMATED CONSUMPTION. No larger amount of wood is used to-day than was8 consumed when the city was but half its present gize, but the use of mineral fuel has in- creased in & very largo proportion. The esti- mated consumption for the year 1871 was one ton to every inhabitant, for domestic purposes only. It is calculated that 1,200,000 tons of coal were consumed in this city, in the last year, for man- ufacturing and domestic purposes, Three hun- dred thousand tons of this amount was anthra- cite, and the remaining 900,600 tons bitnminous, chiiefly our own Illinois coal. The anthracite is used almost exclusively for houschold purposes. The increase in the consumption of coal is esti- mated to be from 15 to 25 per cent per annum, ANTHRACITE CO. because of its cleanliness, will always be & favorite with housekeepers, but bituminous coal from its vigorous flame and heat is preferred by the manufacturer, and for sieam purguses. Neither can take the place of the other. By de- cree of Providence, tho production of anthracite coal seems to be placed permanently among the protected industries of Eastern Pennsylvania, the only source of anthracite coal in this coun- try. From the greater cheapness of 7 . BOFT COAL it is brought within the reach of alarge nutmber of househholds here and throughout this State, and the stove dealers have, with much painstaking, secured great improvements &nd & large degres of perfection in stoves and ranges, 80 that the consumption, for domestic purposes, is far more satisfactory than it wasa few years ago. But the most marked change in the demands upon our Illinois coal has been its geneml adoption on our railroads, where coal- urning locomotives haye almost entirely done away with wood burning, at a great eaving of cost. The cost of every mile run is 22 77-100 cents ‘where wood is consumed, against 18 79-100 cents for coal. One cord of wood, costing £5.10, will Tun an ordinary train 45 miles; one ton of coal, at $2.50, will serve the same train 40 miles. COAL-BURNING ENGINES were adopted about fourteen years ago. Great objections at first existed totheuse of coaliuplace of wood on thelocomotives. Theenginersrefused to assume charge of engines upon which coal was burned, because of ‘e diet ond mpaoke arie- ing from the use of this material; but the com- panies pereisted in the experiments until, to-day, coel is nsed upon almost every road centering in Chicago. Wood has always been_very high and scarce, and the different companies were com- pelled to resort to material more economical. The officials of the different roads agree that the locomotives consuming coal reguire more re- Eliring than the wood burners. The extreme eat generated by the mineral fuel generally melts the grate bars, and. attacks the metal of the fire box itself, yot the superior heat from the coal fire is better adapted to steam generating purposes, and its cheaper price more than com- g%neatea for the increased cost of repeirs. e first cost of wood—of the variety consumed upon the locomotive, is §2.50 per cord, and thecost of handling, saw- ing, and the waste in preparing it for use andyances the price to §5.10 FH cord, upon the engine. The coal used is placed upon the en- gine at & cost of $2.30 per ton. Large zmounts of coal are annually transported over the St. ZLouis Railroad from the mines in Cential Illi~ Tois, along their line of rosd, -for consumption on the different lines diverging from Chicago. The St. Louir Railroad Company alone, coa- sumes ebont 84,000 tons of coal every year. . THE CARBON WHICH ESCAPES from the smoke-stack of the engine forms a 1arge proportion in the composition of the bitu- minons coals, and occasions considerable waste. A new sppavatus to consume this carbon Las ro- cently been invented, and, it is_claimed by the inventor, that 30 per cent of the cosl can_be saved by its use. It will prevent, 8lso, the bad odor arieing from the fumes of the soft coal, thus removing one objection _to the use of this coal. The 8. Louis Railroad Company contem- plate the adoption of this improvement. The greater portion of the wood consumed ab this point comes by lake from Michigan and Wisconsin, Hickory, beech, and maple com- prise the wood supply. About 40,000 cords of .sood of different lunds were consumed in this city the lest year. THE UNDERLYING COAL FIELDS. The inexhaustible store of fuel beneath our Illinis prairies have only. recently begun to claim the attention which its immense impor- tance demands. The small proportion of the Btate covered with timber, com‘fim'ed with the vast extent of prairie, indicate that =2t Do distant - ddy manufacturing and com- mercial interests will be_ forced to resort to minerai fuel asan unavoideble necessity. The coal-bearing -strata cover more then two-thirds of the surface of the entire State, comprising & larger arca of coal lends than can be found with- in ths boundaries of nnE other Statein the Union. This division of the carboniferous sys- temis a grand repository of industrial wealth. The greater portion of the discovered coal-felds is extensively worked. CLASSIFICATION. The bitaminous coals differ £o much that they may be clessified into distinct divisions : cubical coal, the elate, or splint coal, the cannel coal, the ‘glance coal, the closo burning coal, or coling coal, the dry, or open burning coal, and the very dry, or semi-bituminous cosls. THE FIRST COAL SHAFT was sunk at Peru, in tho year 1855, and was deemed an undertaking of no little doubt and hazard: -This adventure provinga complete suc- cess, financially, additional shafts were opened, until the year 1862, when the entire fields wore developed. The aggregate daily yield of the dif- ferent conl mines in 1llinoisis estimated tobe from 15,000 to 20,000 tons. The product of the northern mines is shipped directly to the adja- cent manufacturing towns and business centresi end to Chieago. Thecoal obtained in the southl ern measures is transported to Cairo and St, Lounie for consumption, on the Mississipp- River steamboats. A large amount of this coa. is constmed by the Tllinois Central Railrond Company on their engines. y THE GREAT BANE OF THE WESTERK COAL Is the presence of iron, in the form of o _sul- buret, and in the absence of this material the ituminous coals obtzined in the east and south-~ eastern sections of the United States, afford a botter material_for working in iron—sulphur ruining tho malleability and tenacity of “thet metal. Manufacturers working in iron cannot employ the Western coal in their furnaces. The Ezstern soft coal is used by them entirely. The PRINCIPAL COAL MINING POINTS L in the State are in the Counties of LaSalle, Will, Vermillion, Perry, Jackson, Rock Ieland, sn Hadison. 'The Wilmington coal mino, in’ Will County, by ils proximity fo _this £ity, end the cheapuess and ease with which the coal can be reached by shafts, ranging in depthx from 30 10 200 feet, and the superior quality of coal'this mine affords, renders the deposit one of great value. This is, probably, the nearest point to Chicago where coal can be fourd on auy direct line of railroad communication. THE STEAX ENGINE has become the indis[:lensable agent of produc- tive industry throughout the civilized world, and that locality which possesses the greatest facilities ~for the chesp genera- tion of steam power, other things being e1ual, will inevitsbly take the advance in com- merce aud manufactures, and must, consequent- Iy, progress with rapid sirides on the highway of wealth and power, Coal is the cheapest fmel krown for the %cl:nem‘.ion of steam, and as the population of this city and State increases, and its manufacturing interests more fuily developed, creating a greatly increased demand for this cheap mineral fuel, the value of the coel mines will be betfer appreciated, and the important bearing of these vast fuelresources on the future progperity of the Btste, and of Chicago as iis metropolis, will be more thoroughly corapre- headed. 5 —_—— How John Spends Sunday. From the San Francisco Bulletin, It is a costom among Chinese house servants to stipulate with their emplovers for a portion o jch day they visit their country- e O oactor falk over nows from home, haye their heads shaved, go through With their’ gennfiections and salaams in the Joss- ‘houses, smoke opium. etc., some of them clos- ing np the day’s perfo mance by getting rid of their mages in the Ciuese gamiling-houkes, which nre ¥o_thickly located along Dupout street. Lhe sidewalks swarm with these grega- Tious beings, whose nature it is to huddle in ‘bands beueath. Their dens are hives of indus- try on week-days, and rooms reeking with smoke on §i 8. A vieitor who ventures inside hag to step over the prostrate bodies of opium-smok- ers, and feel his way through clouds of smoke, meantime holding his nose against sickening stonch of fetid breath, decayed fish, in short, & conglomeration of odors nowhereto be found outside of a cellar reeking with the fumes of a crowd of Chinese. For the sake of the delecta- ble pleasure to be found in such places, John frequently refuees to take good situations in the country ; like Bridget, he must be in to where ho can at lcast once a week see his “cousin.” The Chinese have hosts of rela- tives ; uncles and. consins—especially tho latter —are counted by tho score. ‘They regard as consins those several removes further off than a white man ever thinks it worth his while ever .to inquire. These * cousins” are generally friends, all belonging to the same commercial company, and when they meet on Bunday the jnbherin[i is energetic beyond description. All day, and late into the night, John keops up his round of visits among his cousins, but” manages to be on hand Mondsy morning, - ready for work, gmth he generally performs cheerfully and with delity. THE. BRIDGEPORT NUISANCES. Eettexrs from Professor (I, Delafone taine and Mr. Joseph M. Efirshe To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: 4 Stz : In your issue for to-day, you publish two documents about the Bridgeport nuisances; that is, a letter from Mr. L. Swettand an nflidn- vit signed by A. Des Lendes. I have nottime to-day to present my observations sbout Mr. Swett's virtuous indignation, but I would prey you to publish the following answer to Mr. D_ea Landes' affidavit. Any disinterested: reader will see that the said afidavit is one of the thousand instances of the old Freuch saying: g}we me any ten lines written by a men, and I will prove that the said man deserves to bo hanged. . Some time 3o, a fow days before thelast trial of Mesars. Reid & Sherwin, Imet with Mr. J. Hirsh, who asked me whether Mr. A. Des Landes had called upon me. Upon my negative answer, Mr. H. told mo that Mr. DesLandes was going to “approach” me in behalf of Messrs. Reid & Shervin, in order to induce me to report fevor- ably on their business, or not to ey anythin; against them. Indeed, the said DesLandes calle on me that very same day, and opened the con- versation by saying, “Why don’t you go to sce Messrs. Reid & Sherwin?” Upon my asking, “What for?” “he intimated that 'thab firm was going to offer me_ .some money for 'mot reporting or publishing anything against it. As I was_already in- formed of the object of his visit, I managad to make him epeak explicitly; and, when he con- cluded, I told him that I'slready knew the ob- ject of his visit,—that is, that he was sent to of- fer me abribe from Messrs. Reid & Sherwin, which he fully acknowledged. Then my answer was substantially as follows : I am Messrs. Turner & Schoeneman’s cxpex’bi and, from what I have seen at their premises, will' do my best for them. As for your patrons, Lhave nothing todo with them; they are.nof my customers; thorefore, I have no_reason either to whiten or to blacken them. I cannot report on their place the same as I will doon Messrs. T. & S,’8. Should I tryio whitewash them, nobody would believe me, and I would be numbered among those chemists veady to report whatever their customers want to be reported. You know very well yourself that their place is not as good as Tarner’s. Thereupon, Mr. Des Landes told me thatI was right, the premises of R. & S. being ve bad. **Somo times, during the night, the stin is 80 offensive,” said be, ¢ thut I canniot stay in bed. Furthermore, they manago to have cortain parts of their offal eraptied into the Ogden slip.” iThen,” replied I, “insteadof offering mo money for the purpose you have stated, Messrs. R. & 5. had better ask for my services as & chem- ist. Then, after an examination of their prem- ises, I could suzgest oge improvements, and, if called in Court, I would say what could be said in their fevor.” MMr. DesLandes finally asked mo how much I would charge for my work. I could notfisa definite price, but I said that I wanted to be paid in advance. ‘With my regrets for {respassing upon your valueble space, receive, sir, the assurance of my best respects. ~ PROFESSOR M. DELAFONTAINE. Cx1cago, Oct. 12, 1872, To the Editor of the Chicago Tribune : Sm: Returning to the city after a week’s eb- sence, I find, in one of your last weel's issues, & statement signed by Christinn Wahl, which is made of whole cloth, and I should consider it ‘beneath my dignity to refute it, were it not that Bome people might think silence an acquiesence inits truth. Sixteen years 2go, Mr. Wahl asked me to teach him the manufzcture of glue from waste leather. I was willing, provided he made a written contract, stating his duties toward me in case of my success. Ho promised, but de- ferred the execution of the instrument for pressing business,” asking me, nevertheless, to continue my experiments at his works. Whon I found that, with their progress, excuses butno contract could be obtained, I dismissed” my- self of my own nccord, though offered a position inthe factory of Wahl Bros., independent of gaid experiments. The dodge was too thin. Some six years ago, they asked of my father the establishmeut in their works of the monufac- fure of albnmen from blood. Princely verbal promizes were mede, and, when Wahl Bros. thought they ked “annesed” all the knowledge they needed, they hed forgotten their promises, and only my father's patent protected him from the loss of the knowledge he had imparted. The same patent, used to-duy, and for eeveral years successfully in this city, at once stamps Mr. Wahl's aseertions end actions. Some weeks ago, Mr. Turaer took Professor Delafontaine and mygelf to Wahl's place, to find ihere one of the sotirees of bud odor in 'Eridge- port, it there it existed, and told the man in charge the object of our visit, who showed us the best part of the place, which certainly was Tbad enough, in spite of the 1,200,000 gallons of water which, from large tanks, wash daily into the river all the putridity the establishment af- fords. The impression made by the establish- ment was presented in writing to Messrs. Turuer and Schoeneman, at the Hon. Leonard Swett’s office, when these gentlemen asked and received our bill, which they promised to settle next day. A few minutes after this promise, Mr. Wahl en- tered and asked the gentlemen mentionod not to get him into any fuss, as he had often done them great favors, and, even in the late trial of Reid & Sherwin, had cansed the absence of Dr. Rauch from the city, to prcveat him from testi- fying sgainst them. As intimately sc- quainted with tho _ Doctor, and o judge of human nature, Mr. Wehl’ proposed to take my suggestions as to the slaughter-houses as his own to Dr. Rauch, and have the latter published and order their execution by the slaughter-houses as coming from himeelf, add- ing that the Doctor would only under such cir- cumstances be satisfied with any innovation. No intimation was made of paying for this by Mr. ‘Wahl or myself, nor for ihe suppression of the in part or_entire. About the latter, I ‘ahl positively that it was'the property of Messra. Turner and Schoeneman; that I had nothing whatever to do with it. Where is the blackmailing there? Mr. Wahl knew of the na- ture of our visit the day we wero there, for Mr. Turner told his man AMr. Wahl waited for A Turner at the lutter's office, the evening follo ing our visit, till late afterG, Upon meeting, Wabl shook his fist in Turner’s faco for taking chemists to his place, and forbade, even to bim, access to his works in future. Is it true, then, that T informed him of it? Finaily, a8 fo the air-woven assertion_that wo were young and unknown chemists, ellow me to say thaf, unluckily, I am no_ more young. t0 fame, my name has been printed in con- nection with scientific research and discoveries in all modern languages, and on both sides of the Atlantic. My patrons complain only that Ido not attend to their work quiclk enough, on_ac- count of having too much work, The various medals and distinctions I received ot world’s fairs, and also in this country, for thoe escel: lence of my manufactuers, render all advertising on my pary superfluous ; and I can only apply to DMr. Wahl the re;]y of & noted Munchaugen, when reproached for his story-telling : * Wher T assure you upon honor,’ you may know I am joking ; but if I tako an oath, you may believe Ime, ‘ upon my honor.’” I am, kir, respectfully yours, JosePR M.

The State Convention Grapples thie Temperance Question. Condition of the Church in Tllinois---Or- dination of Ministers. MORNING SESSION- ’ The Universalist Stato Convention held its second day's session in Murray Chapel, Indians avenue, near Twenty-ninth street, yesterday morning, Rev. J. Davis, in the chair. The at- tendance of delegates was fair. After tho usunl devotional exercises the Convention was called to order. TOE TEMPERANCE QUESTION. Rev. Mr. Tabor submitted the following roso- lations : TEEv Intemperance induces insanity, increases ria e coa pauperism, and is 2 fruitful soaree of Sickness, sorrow, sullering,and innumerable sius; sad, Waenkas, Itis much eusier to prevent an evil than 4o remove if or escapo from jts effects ; thorefore Resolved, That tho homes, Sunday Schools, and cliurches of our faith ought to unite their strength 2nd ofTorts to teach the young, by precept ond exsm- $lo, the besuty and desirablencss of o temperato life, 04 the degraded sinfulness of o life of intemperance, “Resolved, That the minsters of our denomination ought to bo earnest and active in their efforts to make the people see what terrible sins and crimes are con- stantly growipg out of intemperance, and iat expos. of ¢ to ese begin when the opinion is formed Bt Tts proper and safe to drink, Resolved, That the Universalist Church is, by its ob- ject and covenant, 8 Jiving protest oguinst intemper ance, the use of intoxicating drinks being incompati- ble with true picty and sslvation; and its members and its ministers axo true to their sacred obligation only as thoy do their utmost to exterminate this terri- ble evil from the lan Resolced, That it is our opinion the time has come when the discussion of the temperance question should occupy more space in our Sunday School and denomin national papers, and some specified time in our relig- 1ous conventions; and that we, a8 s religious body, ought not 1o be satisfed to handle en evil of such gie gautic proportions with gloves on, or in some distant and general way. Resolved, That, while we are glad to know that our General Convention took action against the use of in- toxicating drinks ot its annual session in 1817, and be- fore the teraperance reform had properly bégun, we ure conviuced, by the common experiences of life, that something moro than rezolutions is pecded to ety the progoess of this devouring vice; snd we, therefore, solemnly pledgo oursclves, before God and His united Church, to greater activity and foithfulncss during the ear to come in opposition to the ein of intemperance and in cultivating the true principte of temperance in our land, especially among the young. ‘DISOUSSION. . Mr. Sleeper, of Chicago, gaid if it was the in- tention to put the Convention on record as op- Eused to intoxicating drink, the question was oW it should be done. To go to liquor-dealers and tell them they were committing a crime, and to call them génerous members of the come munity when pecuniary aid was required of them, was inconsistent. They Wers mot in the habit of visiting the. snloon-keepers as they should do, If pious people would associnte with them they would exert en influence for good. Tho resolutions were somewhat arbitrary, and lio should not like to have them go abro: in that shape. Mr. Reed was glad the femperance question had been brought up; glad that it was the in- tention to make the denomination take a stand on the subject, The Mayor of Chicago had ap- prosched the matter in the right way by nsking the Christians in the community to assist him, He had little hopes of a reform until the roote were eradicated. Education would alone remedy the evil. _ Mr. Tabor advocated the taking Lold of the gubject with both hands, and keeping hold until reform was a surety. Mr. Gardner did not quite like the resolutions. The public would ihink they were on the edge, instead of in the centre, of the subject. Nine persons out of ten interested in Universalist doctrines were favorable to the cause, and to pass the resolutions, worded as they were, would convey the ides that reformation among them was necded. The general public needed reformation, and if sny reform called for Christign activity it was that of femperance. They should bo consistent advocates of temper- ance, and put themselves on record as & Church, by not introducing a drop of elcoholic drink into any rite or ceremony connected with the Church. 5:: motion, the resolutions were laid on the table temporarily. A FAVCRABLE REPORT. The Committee to whom was referred the ap- plication of Henry F. Campbell for ordination, reported recommending that ho be received into fellowship. The report was unanimously con- curred in. The occasional sermon was then Rev. J. J. Austin, his subject being Church.” The maminfi services were concluded by tho ordination of H. Chase, of Dixon, ILL. , reached by L The Modu{ AFTERNOON SESSION. The Convention met at 2 o’clock in the after- noon, President Wilcox in the chair. STATE OF THE CHURCH. The whole eession was taken up by a discus- sion on the state of the Church, remarks being made by Rev. Mr. Balch, Rey. Ar. Tabor, Rev. Mr. Wildes, and Judge M. B. 3. Wallace. of the gentlemen doplored the lack of interest in the welfare of the Church, and, believing the principles upon which the Church was founded to be the principles, hoped that the é’cfifl would ‘bo more earnest in the fature, and do all in their power to disseminato the truth, and show by their works that thoy did really {ove their neigh- bor and all mankind as Jesus loved them. EVENING SESSION. In the evening, Rev. Henry F. Campbell was ordained and installed pastor of the Third Church. The exercises consisted of singing and prayer, Rev. W. H. Ryder delivering the ordina- tion sermon, Rev. Robort Collyer the charge to the pastor, and Rey. J. 8. Dennis the charge to the people. Rov. R. H. Pullman extended the right hand of fellowship to Mr. Campbell, and, after the doxology, the pastor pronounced the benediction. The ceremonies were very inter- esting, and those grqseqt were impressed with their solemnity and significance. THE LAW COURTS. ITEMS OF-INTEREST.

She was forced fo sit in an easy chair,her arm being sup- ported by & frame. To liedown caused intenss pain and a difficalty in breathing. In this chair, where she has sat for two months, she died, surrounded by lovinjf friends, and her eyes resting qn tho beautiful flowers which were her comfort in life. She was perfectly conscious to the Iast mo- ment, and sent messages of her love to distant friends. A short time ago she told her husband that she was shocked when she saw strangers viewing tho remains of the late Alice Carey in Dr. Deems' church, and one of her last requests wasg, “Letno stranger look upon my face,” whifpered asthe breath of life was passing from her. She had always entertained a strong aversion to ostentations funerals, and her wishes inthis will be fulfilled{o the letter by her friends. Early on Thursday she lmew her end was ap- prosching. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon sha called her family eround the arm chair in which she expired—for her anfierinfia prevented her from resting on o bed. Sadly did every member respond to the summons, In the little circle werc Dr. Parton, Miss Eldridge, the dying Indy’s doughter, her two sisters, Miss Julia Willis and Mre. Bumstead, and % little. grondchild, Dr. Sturges, her Ehyeiciun, came in 2t that moment and joined the g;'uup. - The_ authoress, whose life was rapidly ebbing, called each to her side, and said o fow words of edmonition till she had reached the last. When her little grandchild came to her, sho directed Dr. Parton to send her early to bed, and, if her death occurred that night, not to tell the child til] {o-morrow, joon after this pad seene, Dr. Stanan stepped forwerd and felt her pulse. The authoress fixed her gaze upon him, and asked firmly ; # Doctor, am I dying 2" The Doctor answered * Yes,” Her pulse had almost gone, and she presented unmistakoble trages of her approaching demise; ‘but the nnnouncement of the physician madeno impreesion upon her. At half-past 6 o'clock those around Lier noticed that ehe was unusunally still. They felt her pulse; it had stopped. She had just clpsed her eyes as if to sleep. A mir-~ ror was placed to her lips; but its continned brightness revealed tke fact that she had breathed ber Iast, ASSASSINATION. A Boston Merchant Shot in His Own Doorway. From the Boston Advertiser, Oct, 13, The Dorchester District was the ecene last night of one of the most mysterious tragedies which wes ever- known in the city of Boston, Oune of the city’s most prominent merchants wag most foully sssassinated-in the doorway of his own house, t an early hour in the evening, and there i3 not even the slighteet clew to the assas- s8in or to the motive for tho awful deed. It seems that Mr. Charles Lane, the sole part» ner in the firm of Charles Lano & Co., commis- sion merchants, at No. 115 Federal streot, was sitting in the parlor of his residence on Han- cock sireet, reading, the rest of the family hay- ing retired. Tho night was more than usually dark, on account of the wind and rain, and he was not o little surprised to hear a loud ring at the door-bell at about twenty-five minutes of ¢ o'clock. He st?ped to the foot of the hall stairs and geked his wife if ehe rang the chember bell. She gave & negative an» swer, and he then wont to the front door, opened it, and had hardly time to see thata msn was standing there when the assassin drew an open umbrella befors his face, discharged a pistol full at Mlr. Lane, who was hardly four fect distant, and ran. . Lane screamed and stepped back, locked the door, walked up steirs to his room, and loy down on the bed, saying to his wife, ‘I am shot.” Mrs, Lane immediately gave the alarm, roused the hired man, Patrick Monohan, and sent for the Hon. Micah Dyer, who lives in the next house. Patrick went to the station- ‘house, which was only three houses distant, and told them of what had oconrred. Dr. Steadman was summoned, who, on finding Mr. Lane in so critical & condition end in_great agony, imme- diately called in Dr. Fifield, and together they placed him under tho influence of morphine. The two surgeons, Drs, Steadman and Fifield, say that the wound is one inch to the right of the navel, and was evidently caused by a bul- let from & small revolver.~ They found him suffering acutely when they arrived, but imme- diately placedhim under the influence of anme- thetics, when they Srobed the wound, but' could not find the ball. - Of course they rogarded his case a8 very critical, but they say that they can- mot tell what the result will be inside of fort; eighthours. It istusEible that the ball may be lodged in themuscles of the stomach. If so, it may pass from tho system withont harmful re- sults ; but it is at present iwpossible to tcll how the affair may turn out, Mr. Lsne when onr reporter left was still lying unconscious, - uch is the stnr{, in brief. Mrs. Lane says that she heard the bell ring and the subsequent shot, and that Mr. Lane, after lying on the bed, 8nid, **Iam shot; there must be some mistake ; 1 doi't see who could have done it.” She called Patrick and aronsed the household; sent for Mr. Dyer; then went to the door and sprang a large watchman's rattle which they have in the house. 1t must have been about twenty-five minutes of 9 o'clock when the shot was fired, ehe said, for when she wen to the door she saw the quarter- of-nine Mount Bowdoin horse-car going into tha city proper. 8he could not imagine who could have done tho deed, 85 Mr. Lane was romark- ably quiot and peaceable man, and not of & na- ture to make enemies. She thinks that the man must have intended to kill.some one in the vicinity, and had mistaken the house. The only clew to the assassin iswhat Mr. Luno snid s ho'lay on thebed. * Ho was & large and stout man, and was well-dressed. ” Aghe placed the umbrella in front of hisfacejust asMr. Lane operied the door, no other description can be, giv- en. Of course all sorts of speculation as to the reasons of the assassination” are already afioat. The one most frequently made is that the man was mistaken in the house; but the curtnins of the sido-windows of the parlor ware up, and the man could easily bave seen who was within be- fore he rang the bell. The night was dark and very stormyand thecircumstances mostfavorable to the escape of the assailant. There are threo doors between the hall and tho open air; the storm, or outer door, then one of wire netting, and & vestibule between that and the hall door. Mr. Lane opened all three, and after he wasshot ho shut them all and locked the inside one. RAfr.
