MINIATURES, Wis, Feb 5, 1876
The Chicago dynamite prisoners, Alderman Jonas
and Philip Goldberg were brought before Judge Dyer
in the United States Circuit Court to-day. MT Nc
Kinney for the government stated the case already
telegraphed to the HERALD, and n S Murphy applied
to have the bail Of the prisoners fixed at 81 500 each
Mckinney objected to the amount as being ridcuousy
inadequate Murphyereplied by theorizlng that the
offers alleged to have been made by the prisoners
might for all that shown in the indictment be
mere idle testing and maintained that there moth
ing before the Court induce the belief that anything
really serious was Intended Mckinney replied, point
ing out that positive evidence OF plot had been given
to the Grand Jury, on which the indictment was
framed which, if true proved the prisoners TO be the
ereateet rascas in the country
Finally the bail fixed at go 900 each, which
Jonas gave, Alderman Peter Naher and f. X. wads
worth, OF Chicago being suretes. Goldberg was un-
able to give approved bail up the adjournment Of
the Court and was removed under escort to the New
hall House, with permission 10 send to his friends in
Chicago before his removal to the County Jail The
Impression seems 10 gain ground that Congressional
committee will be demanded TO investigate the evil

Editors Vazley Viyy;nian
The sun rose in unusual splendor yesterday
morning, and as its rays first tnged the spire
of the village church, all within the sound of
it's bell, were startled as it presently tolled
forth the departure of one in our midst, to the
land of spirits. As one neighbor met another,
with startled expression, the question was
asked ''who is it?'' AS an aged matron, who
had some time since passed four score and ten
years, and for weeks seemed to be nearing
| the ''River," it was generally believed to have
been her, but when the announcement was
| made that Ewing Dinkle was dead, y all stood
aghast. 1t was hard to realize that one, who
was few weeks ago the beau ideal of health,
had passed away. On Saturday he returned
from the vicinity of Mcdowell, making the en-
tire trip in day, whittier he had gone q few
weeks ago to increase his strength. Sabbath
he spent sitting up, for the most part in con-
versation with his friends, having Insisted on
his mother going to church. On yesterday
morning at or before it was light, change APP
peared imminent, he summoned the family
around him, seated in his chair, delivered mes
sages to some for absent friends. "Mother,
tell Cora goodbye for me, kiss her, and tell
her I always loved herr 'sFrank, a particu-
| la: FRIEND come to me, stoop down and
kiss me, we must now part, may we hope it is
not forever.'' 10 his brothers and sisters, and
to his parents he calmly communicated his
feelings OF love and affection, and last message
for the absent brother and sisters, and peace
fully yielded up his spirit. The sympathies
OF the community have gone out to the stric k
en- household, the house was thronged all day,
and because death has so frequently cross
ed its threshold. Little over year ago above
~ sister, ''Josephine,'' over whose grave the
flowers have bloomed but once, was laid away,
by whose side Ewing will in few hours be
put to rest. May the sod of the Valley lie
lightly on their bosoms. 'QUER.'
