Knights of St. Patrick


 The ball given by the Knights of St. Pat House, was very fine affair The hall was not profusely decorated, but was in keeping with the Christmas season, evergreens pre- dominating. The ball was opened with an introductory programme of selected music by the Seventy ninth Regiment band of New York city, which was very finely rendered. Then followed the order of dances, twenty two in number. Colonel John G. Healey with Miss Belle Masterson of Bridgeport, led of in the grand march, followed by large number of elegantly dressed ladies accom- panied by gentlemen. The electric lights were an attraction that pleased everybody. The chairman of the floor committee was Colonel John G. Healey and he was support ed by an able corps of assistants. The chair man of the reception committee was Patrick McKenna, and the chairman of the execu- tive committee Patrick Doyle, both of which gentlemen performed their duties in very acceptable manner. Captain Flaherty as prompter could be heard distinctly in every part of the large hall. Max Thalheimer ca- tered for the large company in the basement of the hall and gave universal satisfaction. The stKnights'' fully sustained their reputa- ton of giving frst-class balls.

ANOTHER SENSATION.
Reported Discovery of a Bomb on
Capitol Hill.
SUPPOSED PLOT TO BLOW UP GUI-
TEAU IF TAKEN FROM JAIL
TO THE COURT.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Post has this
story; Capitol Hill is in a state of excite
ment over the discovery ON Saturday of large
bomb on the road leading to the Jail. 1t was
found beside fence that skirts the road By
boys who lugged it to the blacksmith shop Of
MIR. Kells, Ninth and streets. southeast, for
the purpose of selling it. He at once saw
what it was and very prudently moved it out
OF his shop to place of safety. The boys fail
ing in sale took the bomb to the home of
Mr.. Arthur McNelly, the father of " lille,
No. S19 street. Southeast, where it still is. A
Post reporter called at the house last night
and was shown the deadly missile. 1t is an
ordinary field rifle hel.about A inches long
and two inches thick and weighs about Is
FUNDS Upon the end is d brass cap. In the
judgm ent of machnist, who is also veteran
of the war, the bomb is one OF the most dam
gerous kind and would if thrown down easily
explode. 1t is the opinion of police officials
that the shell was placed whore it was found
by some persons who designed to throw it UNI
der the carriage or prison van that contained
Guiteau when he was removed from the Jail to
the court to be arraigned. The spot selected
was on street, near l3th almost on the Com
mons, and was the usual route taken by the
police van in taking prisoners to the Jail. A
bomb OF so large a size, if it was exploded,
would blow the police van, horses, driver and
all into atoms. The bomb is still in the posses
sion of Mr.. McNelly, who guards it with
great care lest it explode. No one can be
found to remove it. The police will endeavor
to lind the persons who were engaged in the
plot, but at present there is not the slightest
clue to their identity"
The Police Discredit the Story.
Concerning this story, Chief of Police Brock
thinks it is without foundation. The only in
formation he had was that contained in the
morning papers. He inquired of the officer in
charge of the precinct within whose bounds
the bomb was supposed to be found, and that
officer said he knew nothing about it. Chief
Brock said it was not rare thing to unearth
these old bomb shells, and that not long ago
one had been found and thrown into the Poto-
mac. He said he would inquire further and
see if there was any basis for the report. It
seems rather improbable on its face. The
Gsand Jury are dismissed till the September
term to begin with, and are probably dispersed
all over the country, and Guiteau would not
be arraigned, therefore, in any event for some
weeks. 1t would be too soon, therefore, to
prepare and get in location an Internal machine
at this time. Then again, Guteau would be
taken to the court room, if at all, under q
strong guard, So that attempt to kill him in
the manner indicated would necessarily in
volve the death of many innocent persons.
