Hi. Would-Be Assassins Waylay Him a* He Leaven the Hall at Hamilton anil Fire Several Shot, at His Carriage TinDriver Hit in the Wrist. ■Another attempt was made on O'Brien’s life at the close of his meeting in Hamilton, Canada, says a telegram from that city: After the speecbmaking was over a man camo to Mr. O'Brien while sitting an the platform and - hurriedly whispered something in nis ear. The first sign of commotion wns w hen Mr. O'Brien got up apo left the platform. This was in response to the request several times wade to him which he had already refused It was the idea As some officious and meddlesome man—a plan which he had to save Mr. O'Brien s Me. The plan was to leave tlie rink by a narrow alley, then reach McNabb street and jiinni into a carriage in waiting and drive to the hotel. In the carriage, which was a covered one, besides Mr.,O'Brien, were Messrs. McMahon and Roche, of the local branch of the National League, and Dennis Kilbride, On the driver's seat wire John Nelson, who held the reins, and T. P. O'Brien. As they w hipped up the horses and faced for the hotel, a crow d suddenly appeared and set up the usual hissing and graining, w hich afterward proved to be a concerted signal to a group of five men who lurked around the market building in Marant Square. The men, who hissed and groaned, followed the carriage, and, as it wheeled intoMarket Square, there whs a sudden click, the horses pranced, and a flash of light suddenly overspread a group of buildings where the men lurked. The reins dropped out of John Nelsons hands, and. with the exclamation, "0, my God. I'm shot !’ he fell forward on the sent Crash! crash! crash! quick as lightning, and through bright flashes of flame sped the bullets from two revolvers until eight shots had been fired. Mr. O'Brien stretched forward to look out, and as lie did so a bull whistled by his face and passed through the opposite window, without harming anybodv. T. P. O'Brien, Nelson's companion, w ho had been amazed and dazed, now grusped the reins and lashed the horses through the square into James street and down to the hotel, corner of James and Merrick streets Here there was a hostile crowd, who again hooted as th.e party within tried to open the door, but could not. Mr. McMahon jumped over the door, and drawing a revolver, held the crowd at bay while Mr. O'Brien and his friend were making their exit from the carriage, also by the same uncomfortable way. As the party stepjied into the corridor of the hotel a volley of rotten eggs was hurled at them, but no one was hit. Chief McKinnon and his men now rushed up. but all was over. Nelson was taken to the citv hospital. Dr. James White extracted the bullet. He says the wound is net dangerous. It is on the left wrist. No arrests were made .When O Brien reached his room he was smiling a-id cheerful, and nobody to look at him would have supiosed that he had just escaped from the last of a aeries of attempts to take his life.
