New YORK, May IL "A dastardly
attempt was made to-day by party or
parties at present unknown to kill the
Spanish consul general Hypolte d Uriar:e
by means of an internal machine. 1t
appears that when the letters were brought
to the Office this morning, among them
was a package about eight inches long and
three in width. After examining the
letters at his desk the consul took the
package, which was done up in q brown
paper box, to a table to open i, and used
bis penknife 10 do so and INN ediately be
took the cover of the box there was a loud
explosion aud some balls of FIRE shot GU, Of
the box, burning the carpet and coat OF
the consul and scorching bis hands, but
otherwise doing no damage. An examina-
ton of the box showed that it's purpose
was to kill the persons who opened it.
Inside was a quantity Of guupowder a
large percussion cup and what is supposed
to be nitro gycerine. The top of the box
was fastened so that when taken off fric-
ton would be caused and probably sparks
of fire created sufficient to set off the con-
tents Of the box. The package was ad-
dressed to "Chevalier Hypolte d'Uriarte
Consul General. Office 29 Broadway, New
York" postmarked Philadelphia. The
consul general has no idea who sent him
the deadly package, but surmised it was
a Cuban plot to destroy the lie of Spa

Newspaper Advertising Bureau,
New York,

Some time ago mention was made
Of the extensive and widely known
firm, but another will not be out OF
place at the present time, on the eve
Of the business season as it is in this
section of the country. The firm has
expended upwards of $l23, 900 in cash
duringthe pasttwelveyearsinthe labor
of getting out their annual newspaper
directory, acknowledged to be the
most complete in the country, and
bearing proof conclusive that Geo. P.
Rowell & Co. are earnest workers in
regard to newspaper statistics, Their
work for the past year contains above
one thousand pages, giving the location
of every newspaper in the country, to-
gether with the population ofthe place
where it is published, its politics,
its circulation, and a mass of useful
information indispensable to all who
deal with or are interested in news
papers. The advertising firm of Geo.
P. Rowell & Co. are exceedingly pop.
ular with all who have had dealings
with them, and their patrons are al
ways pleased with the result of their
labors. They have taken excessive
pains to render their directory reli-
able and useful. Its admirable ar
rangement commends it to the popu-
lar favor.

%sTREET-CAR USIC
A Few More Complaints from
the Public.

Several days ago a few lines APP
peared in this journal on the sloppy
and slip-shod manner in which the
fernando street car line is run. 1t
struck a keynote all along the line,
and its r~everberations have extended
to other routes, where the suffering
patrons feel its aggravations. The
fernando line, however, still appears
to hold the palm for downright
worthlessness. The late rains put the
route over which it runs in a rather
sloppy state, and last evening a fore,
taste Of what is to come when the
rainy season sets in was given to those
who come and go upon the filthy mule
boxes. At one time, just after dark,
four cars, and all that were running
on the route last evening, so it was
stated, we're piled in a bunch near
South street, where one had jumped
the track and landed 10 the mud, so
others could not pass, After a long
delay and much labor, the ohsfructing
car was Strengthened into position and
they respectively moved of on their
bouncing journeys. One, when just
this side Of Vance street, ran on top
Of a weak, diminutiye mule, whose
foot had caught in the loose laid
boards on which he ran, and tumbled
the poor creature headlong. The
passengers fshed around in the mud
for some time to relieve the animal,
and Captain Hackett, Of the police,
took the signal lamp from its perch in
the corner and oiled his uniform
with the leaking object, his
hands also getting well besmeared
with the nasty smut and grease inter
mixed, while he aided in e~xtricating
the mule. A colored woman on the
car with a basket of freshly ironed
linen on her way to deliver to patrons,
had placed the basket on the seat a
little too close to the lamp corner, and,
much to her cbagrin, found the
clothes spoiled by the oil sloshing over
them. The conversation among those
in the ear ran wholly upon the
wretched state Of the cars, the badly
out-of-repair road, and the general
d~ilapidation Of the whole street car
system. If so much trouble results
from the slight rainfall Of the past few
days, what is to be expected when the
muddy season sets in2 The summer
has been permitted to pass by without

POPULAR SUPERSTITION.
Carrying a HOrse-Chestnut as a
Preventive Against Rheum-
atism.


Hartford Times.l
A couple of our solid citizens-solid
in ayoirdupois as well as in their bank
accounts were in a horse-car a few
days since, when a man came limping
aboard, apparently suffering from
rheumatism. One of the solid men
remarked: I've never had a twinge
of rheumatism in my life" and at the
same time he took from his pocket a
hofse-chestuut, aud displayed it with
an air that seemed to imply, This is
the little Joker that did the business"
But no sooner had solid citizen No. l
displayed his chestnut charm with a
contented air, than solid citizen No. 2
also drew from his pa%ntaloons pocket
a horse chestnut. Said the first citi-
zen, I've carried that for thirty
years" 80 have | carried this for
more than thirty years" replied the
other but | don't carry mine for
rheumatism. | carry it for the govt"
A passenger who had been an inter
ested listener to the foregoing, rather
timidly asked one if he really believed
there was any virtue in the horse
chestnut. mol answered the man.
"Then why do you carry the thing
about with your" Because it don't
cost anything, and can do no harmi f it
does no good" 1t shows a little super
sition, though" very well, I'll
shoulder it. I've carried it for thirty
years and have not been troubled with
rheumatism. And | know others who
can testify to the same good results"
Then the lame man whohad got aboard
the car and was the cause of this cpl
sode put his hand into his pocket and
drew out a horse-chesnut and held it
up to the gaze of the others. A ripple
oflaughter went up, and two solid cit
liens who had pinned their faith to
the nut anticipated a set back from
the lame man. But the latter re-
marked: Don't laugh, gentlemen; |
have faith in the hOrse-chestnut. I
got a sprain a few days ago My lame
ness is not from rheumatism. | had a
touch of rheumatism, though, about
ten years ago, and | went and got a
horse-chestnut, and l have carried it
in my pocket ever since. And, gen
tlemen, I've never had theH rheuma-
tism since" Perhaps three men car
rying horse-chestnuts is a big average
for ne-horse car load of passengers,
but there are more masculines with
their chestnut charms in their pock-
cts than DR.. Tanner in his philosophy
ever dreamed Of"
