Particulars Of the Attack ON the House of
the james Brothers stepather.
The Kansas City Times of Jan. 81
says A Times reporter paid a visit to
Kearney last evening, and gathered the
following facts In regard to the attempt
to capture the james brothers Tuesday
morning about half past one o'clock Mr..
Sarnuels, the stepfather of the James
boys, awoke and found Mrs. Samuels in
the same condition. He said he heard q
noise in the kitchen, and thought he
smelled fire. At this he got out of bed
and went out of the door of his room to
go into the kitchen. When he got out
side he discovered the west end of the
kitchen to be on fire. The house is log,
weather-boarded. Mr.. s. at once went
round to the fire and commenced to tear
off the boards. In the meanwhile Mrs.
Samuels had come from her room with
her children-Jo Johnnie, aged fifteen
years little girl aged thirteen, and a
boy aged ten. When she got into the
kitchen she found the negro woman and
her three children up. Mrs. Samuels
saw a quilt on the bed afire. This she
tore of and threw out of doors. She
then discovered something on the floor
which she took TO be turpentine ball.
It was on fire. She attempted to pick it
up, but found it too heavy. She then
| tried to push it into the fire with her
/ foot, but failed. At this moment MIR.
Samuels came in, having extinguished
| the flames, and he tried to kick the sup
posed ball into the flames, but failed.
He then took shovel and threw it into
| the fireplace. As he did this it ex
4 ploded. It was bomb, or, more cor
rectly speaking, what is known as q hand
/ grenade,-a ball about seven inches In
diameter, and Lined with wrought iron.

serves his integrity, who lives cleanly and
purely, who devotes his leisure to the ac-
QUESTION of knowledge, who gains friends
by deserving them, and who saves his
spare money. There are some ways to

way but the staunch men of the com

D,dn,t Like the Odor.

Some folks don't like the odor of Linn
burger cheese. One evening, not very
long since, q gentleman had made his
preparations to attend prayer-meeting
with his wife. Prior to sterling, he came
down town to his place of business, and
while there an acquaintance discovered
that he was about to engage In Wednes-
day evening devotion. Accordingly he
put up vil1ainous job. Procuring huge
slice of the most fragrant Limburger
cheese to be had, he watched his oppor-
tunity, and, just as the gentleman step
ped out of the door to go home for his
wife, slipped it in his pocket. The par
ties repaired to the church, and were
soon seated side by side in . comfortable
pew near the stove. Soon the cheese be-
gan to grow loud. The sisters turned
their heads about and looked as If haut
barrel had exploded. The deacons ele-
waited their noses and Thought of the third
plague of Egypt. The preacher smelled
great smell, and the wife Of the un-
conscious odor-casket nudged her spouse,
andinquired if he didn't smell something.
" Mariar, it's awful" he responded !;
6 it must be in the coal. The more the
assembly speculated, the louder the odor
became, and finally all hands united in
hurrying the proceedings to close. Ar
rived at home, and while preparing to
retire, the gentleman discovered the cause
of the unpleasantness, and removed 1T on
couple of chips-LotUG State Register.

A Hoe WITH WOODEN LEG.-The
Dubuque Telegraph is responsible for
the following: A short time ago hog
belonging to Mr.. Smith, of Dunleith,
got caught under the cow-catcher of an
engine and lost one of its legs. Mr..
Smith, not wishing to lose the hog, made
and attached It to the stump of the leg
left by the engine. The hog has become
accustomed to its wooden leg now, and
gets about as lively on it as on the one
nature gave it.

BOSS TWEED.
No Clue to His Whereabouts.


A Plenty OF Rumor but Nothing Definite
New YORK, Dec. ct appears that report
was current last night among the police, that a
tug-boat was seen cruising in East River Sat
urday evening, off 59th street, and it is thought
Tweed escaped in it.
Foster Dewey, Tweed's secretary, was last
seen at the Hoffman House, few moments be-
fore the departure of the ten o'clock train for
Boston Saturday morning. He took that train
saying he was going to Boston and would re-
turn Tuesday.
1t was noticed with some surprise that Mr.
Dewey took with him large trunk which
seemed unnecessarily ample for a three days
trip.
New YORK, Dec. 6.-The Commercial SAYS
further in relation to the British bark Lord
Clarendon, that the price paid for her was S14,-
600 and that Capt. Russell, nephew Of
Tweed, was put in command She took only
60O0 cans of oil when she could have carried
10000. 1t is reported that her real destination
is South America.
The Brooklyn Argus reports that closed
carriage was driven down to dock in South
Brooklyn about O'Clock Saturday evening,
and remained one hour and a quarter. There
was only one occupant who walked the dock
anxiously for some time, finally the carriage
moved fifty yards from the dock and three men
including the one mentioned and another re-
sembling Tweed, entered it and were driven
away. NO clue has been obtained as to the car
rage, but search of Brooklyn is probable.
at 80 this afternoon it was rumored that
sheriff Conner had been arrested in connection
with the escape of Tweed, on warrant issued
IN the supreme Court on application of the At
torney General
Tonight Sheriff Conner stated that he was
not under arrest, and so far as he knew no or
der OF arrest had been issued against him. He
said no action could be taken against him till
after Judgment had been obtained against
Tweeds estate. If Judgment could not be sec
ured he could be then sued for the amount.
During the day he had conference with War
den Denham, and suspended him, authorizing
Deputy Warden Watson to take charge of Lud-
low street Jail.

900 Miners Killed.
MANY OTHERS BADLY INJURED,
A Similar Disaster In South Wales.
TEN PERSONS KILLED

LONDON. Dec. 6.--The Pail Mall Gazette
contains the following:
"An awful explosion occurred to-day at
Rna Of 8On oGsy IS f fsapd a %es
than 200 lives are lost"
Evening.
The colliery at which the dreadful explosion
occurred to-day belongs to Mitchell & Co. and
is one of the largest in the southern part of
Yorkshire. 1t is Joined by underground work.
ings with Edmunds main colliery, where twelve
years ago yesterday over 300 persons persisted.
The works extend for many miles. They are
entirely worked with safety lamps under very
rigid discipline and were considered SAFE At
6 o'clock this morning about 300 men and boys
descended and commenced work as usual. At
half.past a terrific explosion occurred. The
exact position of the explosion is unknown, but
by loud report followed by large volumes of
smoke, and after damp. Those who were able
rushed to the pit bottom, but the drawing cage
was displaced. As soon as possible volunteers
organized to search for the dead and dying and
those who had escaped. After being down
some time the volunteers reported about noon
that they had met with great difficulty. They
saw many who were alive but unconscious 1t
is impossible now to give the number lost. 1t
is feared that the first report (200 will be con-
frmed, though the managers of the colliery
hope many may be saved. All those rescued
thuslfar are seriously burned and injured.
LONDON, Dec. 6.-Latest accounts from the
Swaith colliery indicate that the total number
of lives lost was 40. The explosion was caused
by careless blasting operations.
Another disaster Of similar character is re-
ported to-day in a coal mine near Pentyrch, in
South Wales. Ten persons were killed and
twelve injured.

Advance ON Western Freigb,s.

New YORK, Dec. Cit is believed that an
advance on treights from New York to Chicago
to one dollar per one hundred pounds will be
made the 18th inst. A prominent agent says
the difficulty in the way of making the advance
at once is on account of the low rates from Bos-
ton to the west. Representatives of trunk lines
say it is the duty of the New York Central to
bring up rates, but the representatives Of that
road say that any attempt to force an advance
on their part would only result in throwing
Boston business into the hands of the Grand
Trunk Railroad of Canada, and they do not
propose to lose business in this way.
