THE DYNAMITE EXPLOSION AT
IIGBOKEN.
AN OUTRAGE BY STRIKERS.

New York, May s. The only new item relative
to the explosion at lioboken, is the belief that it
caused by the strikers, who have threatened
to have things about the tunnel their own way.
The contractor believes they are branch of the
Mole Maguires, from the nature Of their
threats.
The explosion was only few moments too
soon to kill some 60 mons striking workmen.
The amount of damage cannot be fairly est-
mated. Twenty-siv show windows of stores on
West street, New York, were smashed by the ex-
rlosion. $50, 900 viii cover the damage to resi-
dences in Jersey City, and $4,000 that in Hobo
ken. The chandeliers on the steamer Mary land,
on North river, were all smashed.

North VassalbOrO' Locals.

From reliable information we learn that Albert
Goodspeed, formerly of North Vassalboro' is not
dead, as was feared by his friends, but alive and
living with another women in . distant State. 1t
will be remembered tha. about Eve years ago, Mr.
Goodspeed left his family, consisting Of wife, two
sons, one ten and the other sixteen years of age
father, mother, and maiden sister, who were de
pendent upon him for support, and taking with
him most of his money, went west, for the pur-
pose as stated by him, to locate, and then send or
come for his family. A few days after leaving
Nassalboro he was seen by friends in Minnesota,
but from that date to the present bis family have
heard nothing of his whereabouts Great anxiety
was manifested by his wife and family for his
safety, and at times it was thought his wife would
lose her reason, so deep was her grief. Every eff
fort was made by his friends, BY sending messeng-
to distant points, and all the papers solic
tied to give notice. but all effo.t failed to learn
anything Of him. After lapse Of two years his
family dispairng of seeing him again, collect
ed what little they bad, and removed to Minnesota
to join brother of Mrs. Goodspeed, who so kind
ly offered her home. And now after lapse of
five or six years, that this scoundrel should turn
up living with another woman, and raising up an
other family, is more than humanity can bear but
such is the fact IS stated by reliable persons.
