Last evening about six o'clock Butler Ma- hone, son of Senator Mahone, entered the barat Welcker’s hotel and called for something to drink, which was refused him, as he was then apparently intoxicated. Young Mahone, it is Stated, became very angry, and began tearing down the curtains. He then picked up a check-book which was lying on the counter and threw it into the street. Mahone then left, but returned to the hotel about eleven o'clock, and got Into the elevator, in company with a colored porter named John Willis, who was deputed to look after him. When the elevator gtarted Ma- hone became boisterous and showed fight. When they left the elevator Mahone went into his room, and the porter tipped gently down the steps. In a few moments Mahone returned down stairs to the parlor, where Willis and several gentlemen were, and, it 1s said, exclaimed, "Where's that d—d' nigger? I want to kill him.” Mahone then drew his pistol, and aim- ing it in the direction of Willis, fired, the bullet entering Willis’ forefinger. He then fired a second ‘shot, the bullet passing through Mr. John Weicker’s hair, and burying itself in the Wall, After reasserting his intention of killinj Willis, Mahone left the hotel. He was arreste | by Onicer Wheeler, about two o'clock this morn- ing, in a saloon on 13th street, and taken to the fifth precinct station, where he left $50 collat- eral for is appearance in the Police Court this morning, The case was investigated In the assistant dis- trict attorney's office this morning, and @ war- rant charging assault and battery with intent to kill was ordered to be fssued. Subsequently Willis went to the clerk’s office and procured the warrant... Mahone fafled to put in appearance at the Police Court to-day, ls $50 collateral Sas held, and the warrant sent Out for his re- res: $1,000 BAIL GIVEN. This afternoon Butler Mahone, accompanied by counsel, Mr. Campbell Carrington, went to the Police Court and gave bail in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance when wanted. Post- t Windsor, of Alexandria, Va, went on his bond. SS The Fraudulent Silver Certificates and = Legal Tenders. A DESCRIPTION OF THOSB RECEIVED AT THE TREASURY FQR REDEMPTION, A number of ten and twenty dollar silver cer- tificates and legal tenders amounting to $810 have been received at the Treasury department from New York for redemption, which by thetr peculiar mutilation bear evidence of a very clever attempt at fraud on the public, as stated in yesterday's STAR, Only one-quarter ofeach note is missing, and therefore the notes will probably be redeemed under the law, as less than two-fifths of each original note is gone. It Was with the missing portions that the fraud was perpetrated. The notes to be redeemed ap- pour to have been torn all at once by accident, ut upon investigation itis seen that each one was torn separately and at different corners, with such exactness that for every four notes torn there remained the four quarters of #notier note. By carefully pasting these sec- tions together another new note was formed nd put into circulation, while the mutilated Ss were presented for redemption. While o the patched notes would perhaps escape detec- tion by the public there are a number of ways | Of recognizing the fraud. It is impossible to se | cure the right numbers on the patched notes, while the silk thread in the paper, being of dit ferent colors and in different places, furnishes unmistakable proof of fraud. One corner of a hed note in circulation was found tobelong, t doubt, toone of the mutilated notes ted for redemption. A secret sorvice has been detailed to look the matter up.

A committee visited Chicago abd con- tracted with the Pullman company for four cars, although the railway officials had given the committee to understand that nq free transpor tation would be extended.
