A special telegram to the Philadelphia Times from Oueida, N.Y., Jan. 1 says: The life of Rev. James A. Kelly of St. Patrick’s church, this city, was attempted during the early hours of this morning, and the assassin was only pre- vented from accomplishing his purpose of mur- der by the loud outcries of the wounded man. This is the second attempt to do away with Father Kelly within three months. The first attempt was by poisoning, the sacred altar wine having been used as a vehicle, a quantity of arsenic having been put intoit, It has been said there isa woman in the case, but there is notbing in the pastor's known associations to confirm the supposition. According to the story of the assault Father Kelly was aroused about 3:30 this morning by |» suinmons on his door. fle descended to the baliway in answer to a query. The stranger outside said that the priest’s services were de- sired at a deathbed and asked to be admitted. Father Kelly unbolted the doorand the stranger threw his weight against the door. At the same time be struck Father Kelly a blow on the head with a heavy instrumente If the weapon had struck him ‘squarely on the skull it would have been crushed, but as the blow was a glancing one it made only sn ugly scalp wound, Father Kelly grappled with his as- sailant and cried “murder.” The assassin, by an effort, disengaged himself and took to his heels. In the scuttle he dropped his weapon. Father Kelly, weak from loss of blood and the shock of the excitement, sank to the floor. There the frightened housekeeper found him lying across the doorway in a poot of blood. A rod of iron about three fect long and an inch lay near him. It was the weapon used by his assailant. A doctor was at once summoned and the wound dressed. Father Kelly only suffered from nervous prostration and loss of blood. He says he cannot identify his assail- }ant. This attempt strengthens the opinion | that there is a fixed determination on the part of some person or persons to wreak vengeance on the pastor. — —-see- MURDERED WHILE ON A SPREE. The Son of a New York Lawyer Beaten to Death. Aspecial to the Philadelphia Times from Richmond, January 1, says: Fredérick Good- rich, son of W. W. Goodrich, a New York lawyer, died here today and a mystery envelops hisdeath, He boarded at the Exchange hotel, andon Monday morning, December 23, ap- peared at the hotel with a dreadfuliy beaten up face, with some bones in his body broken. He refused to tell how he came by hia wounds, but when pressed claimed that he fell over the iron fender in his room, He took to his bed and pneumonia set in, When examined by the doctors the man was found to have been beaten all over his body. He had been stamped with a big foot and the prints of the heel of a boot were visible. Pneumonia was produced by forcing a rib into one of the lungs. The sick man became delirious, talked con: bout aman with a big nose and red ating him. His father and wife were tele- graphed for in New York, and reached lhere before he died.’ Nothing was kuown of the —_ occurrence except to a few until Goodrich died. This evening the police received the body, and from information furnished them think they can show that the man was cruelly beaten by some party and that he was left exposed to the cold. Some sensa- tional developments are expected. The coro- ner will view the body tomorrow and afterward hold an inquest. Goodrich had been on a spree for three weeks before he received his wounds, He came here about a year ago from Brooklyn, and un- til a few weeks before his death had been man- ager of the Richmond granite quarry company. Most of his life has been spenton a cattle ranch in the west, He was aman of fine ap- pearance, and in 1880 married a Miss Knowles all. The day was spent in passing turkey and good resolutions.

JACKSON’S MESSAGE. The Chesapeak: tomac ‘and 1 nd Ohio Canal-—Po- ‘ocomoke Oysters. The legislature of Maryland organized yes- terday. Robert E. Bratton was elected president of the senate, and W. G. Purnell, secretary; John Hubner speaker of the house, and Carl- ton Shafter chief clevk, all democrats, The message of Gov. Jackson was read. He recom- mends among other amendments to the consti- tution one which will enable the state to sell its interest, if desirable, in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and other properties owned by the state. Of the canai he says: CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL, I desire to call your special attention to the condition of th’ ysmpany. The controlling interest is held by the state. It has been and can be an important factor in developing the resources of @ large section of the state. . It ought to be maintained asa means of tra’ tation free from the control of any competing or parallel line of tra tation, but always subject to control by the legislature of Mary- land as to its rates of charges, eo as to prevent discrimination against individual shippers or localities. The condition of the company is such that it is in imminent peril of being sacri- ficed by a foreclosure and sule under the mort- gage given in 1878. By reference to the act of 1878, chapter 58, it will en that whenever there shall be default in the payment of three successive coupons the holders of a majority of the bonds shall have the mght to apply for the appointment of a receiver and for the sale of said canal, The default has occurred. There was on the Ist of January, 1890, six coupons overdue and unpaid. The Balti- more and Ohio railroad company owns 260.000, or majority of said bonds, and it is well known that the company con- template proceedings for the appointment of receivers, and I am informed the minority of bond holders insist on the sale of the canal, The Baltimore and Qhio railroad com should not be permitted to own or control his great state work. With its claim of an irre- pealable charter and right to charge exorbitant rates for transportation, it would be able to exact such tribute from the people of western Maryland as it might determine. The inter- ests of the whole people of the state, therefore, demand that some provision shall be made to save the canal tosee that itis maintained as an independent line of transportation, For twelve years past the presidents aud directors of the canal have reported that it was impossi- bie to maintain the work unless it was put in improved conditon to meet the low charges by the railroads. As late as 1868 the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company charged on a gross ton of coal from Cumberland to Baltimore $2.58. In 1888 the charge for the same service was about $1.30, 1n 1889 it is said to be as low as $1.05, which makes it impossible for the canal, unless im- proved, to compete and pay expenses, In ad- dition, the Baltimore and Ohio and other rail- road companies have purchased and now own and control the greater part of all the coal in the Cumberland basin, which is the principal tonnage of tne canal,’ Prior to the control uf the coal by the railroads and when rates from Cumberland to Baltimore were two (32) dollars and above the canal ros pered. During the administration of Presi- dent L H. Gordon the current expenses were paid avd $58,435 was paid on construction bonds, and $124,447.30 was left in the treasury. During President J. C. Clark’s administration it pad expenses and paid to bondholders the sum of 3497.770 50. During the term of Presi- dent A. P. Gorman, in addition to paying ex- penses, there was paid to bondholders of 1344 $1,070,585. But from 1877 to 1888, inclusive, twelve years, owing to the low rates charged and the ownership of the coal by the railroads the deficit in the main- tenance and croraeen of the canal has been $701,130, including cost of extraordinary re- pairs. So that when the work was greatly damaged by the last freshet in the Potomac river it was without means to repair or credit to borrow a suiticient amount to place it in navigable condition. The presidents and di- rectors who have been entrusted with the man- agement of the canal company have for years frankly stated in their reports that the present condition was inevitable unless sufficient ex- penditures were made to enlarge the canal or change the mode and cheapen the expenses of carriage, The constitution of the state pro- hibits any direct appropriation from the state looking to that end. A sale of the state's in- terest is likewise prohibited, unless the sale is ratitied by the ensuing legislature, which prac- tically prevents a sale, for no responsible per- son would make an offer under such conditions, Isuppose a lease of it is feasible and legal. Sundry persons interested in having it main- tained as an independent line of transportation have conferred with the board of public works with a view to leasing it. [hope within afew days to present for your consideration one or more propositions for the lease, which I trust THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., will have your favorable consideration aud action. The people of the state would not be content if we permit any competing company to own or control this work or to sacrifice ull the money they have invested in it, THE OYSTER SITUATION, In the matter of the oyster privileges of Maryland and Virginia in the Potomac, Poco- moke and other waters, the governor deplores the fact that the citizens of Maryland are ex- cluded the Hug land. conteoversy’the governor of Maryland says he has seen the governor of Virginia, and the Virginia legislature has re- moved ull causes of disaffection by repealing the obuoxious measure, ‘The governor makes the following sugges- tions relative to the growth and development of the oyster: “First. To require all oysters to be closely culled on the bars where taken, and prohibit the sale of oysters less than a fixed size, say nches in length. Second. To prevent as far as possible the taking of oysters from this state to be planted in the waters of other states. Third. To permit the | planting of oysters in this state during certain months of the closed season. Fourth, To employ the boats of the state fishery force during the closed season in distributing shells to catch the spat. Fifth. To limit the time for taking oysters with both dredge and scrapes, so that it should begin the first of November and end on the 31st of March.” SENATE BILLS, In the senate bills were introduced by Sen: tor Toadvin for four constitutional amend- ments, viz: To control corporation charters; extending the governor's veto power; to make taxes uniform aud equal, and to regulate the sale, when sale may be desirable, of the state’s iuterest in works of internal improvement, &c, Adjourned until Tuesday evening, January 7. +o IN COURTSHIP, Boarding House Keepers Can’t Claim for Wear and Tear on Furniture, Mrs. Sarah J. Wilson of No. 132 Howara street, Newark, N.J., has been in sore distress for several days. Her mind has grappled with an unsolved financial, social and amatory prob- lem and she has come off somewhat the worse for the encounter. Jersey equity in the shape of his honor Mr. Justice Amazi Dean of the police court has stepped in at the last moment and rudely upset Mrs. Wilson’s solution of the uzzle that has hitherto been dealt with only |e big-brained but unexperienced funny edi- tors and expert but wrath-prejudiced fathers, The problem is this: What is it worth to let a oung man wear out your furniture while he Ta hands with and otherwise courts the girl of the family?

John Dennis first met her last summer out in Warw: Orange county, N.J. Ida moved to Newark alittle more than three weeks ago to live with her aunt's siste! in-law, Mrs, Sarah J. Wilson. John began to call-on ida when she came to town jast as he used to in the country. Ida J. packed her trunk Monday and told Mrs.-Wilson she was going to move. She had id her board up to next Saturday night, but irs, Wilson forbade the girl to take her trunk away until she should have given up $10 more, 36 for three months’ washing and ¥4 for what Mrs. Wilson then and there detined as * and tear on household effects,” caused by the coming in and going out of «friend.

It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS, This is conspicuously true of all classee of news, but especially so in regard to ; Local News and District Affairs. , | THE STAR bas a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE= PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS |MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND | PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- | FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY | OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. It ts therefore able to print each day a full Feport of every transaction of public ine terest occurring in the District up te the very hour of going to press. 302 By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULAR AND SPECIAL DIs- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. | — 0: Equally does THE STAR lead all its j contemporaries in the publication of the | NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic core respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its own office to the general network of telegraph | system touching every city, town and | hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pa= cific Oceans. —0:——— @ NOTE THE RESULT: 29 —0:—_ THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIGERS and MORE THAN FIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It is de- | Mvered regularly by careful carriers at | the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER | THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE | SAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read | leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, 1 | and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it, in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING | MEDIUM it 1s, therefore, ABSU- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It ts yai | im fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES AKE THE CHEAPES£ IN THE CITY. —0: —— In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to imprese the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which tew papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. The esteem in which THE STAB is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively showm by the fig- ures given below. In the first six months of each of the five years named the average daily cir- | culation of the paper was: -22,507 copies 24,382 “ 25,702 “ 27,068 “ of publicity.
