Two Young Men Pounce Upon Their Sis
ter's Lover In the Capitol Grounds.
The usual quietness of the capitol parks
was disturbed about o'clock last night by n
lively ahray near the grotto, in which two
irate brothers, sister, and lover figured.
1t appears that the young lady had been
keeping company for some time past with
the young man against the wishes of her
parents and brothers. Last evening Il clan
destine meeting was arranged,
but the suspicious brothers, who had
been on the alert, followed the
sister to tho place of meeting, and then kept
behind the couple until they had reached the
grotto, where the brothers pounoed upon the
unsuspecting lover like eagles upon dove.
The afIray was Of short duration, and the
lover, who was badly pounded, fled precipi-
lately up the hill, while tho brothers led
their sister triumphantly homeward. A Re-

Having told the story ofthat terrible mental strug-

ended with these words;
"Yes, was shut up In my room In that way for
weeks eating itte aud that at all sorts Of odd times,
and when settled the faith question, and came out
to the world again, for the first time in my life was
conscious of possessing such thermal apparatus as
a stomach" 1t may be added that during the rest of
his long life chronic dyspepsia kept the fact OF the
existence of his stomach perpetually In the great

"The work was done by band OF
Fenians in London who were in con-
slant communication with their COM
rades in New York. The Woolwich ex-
plosion was only another sample OF
what Is being done. London would be
in ashes, he said, before long, unless
England gave up Ireland. New de-
velopments might be expected at any

the brotherhood to push the work rap

Actual OceuFPence.

In buying a piano or organ avoid
dealers in shoddy pianos
and orgars. stenciled instruments and
old stock done over to deceive the un'
wary with. Some dealers employ no
canvassers or "peddlers' because they
have no money to mploy them. When
these unprincipled men discover
another's customer suited, they repre-
sent to them that they have been over
charged; failing in this to create dis,
satisfaction, they send some paid
professor to belittle the instrument. This
class of dealers are tricky. Buy of a

The London Explosion.

LONDON, October 31.-An inspector
from the Home Office this morning
viewed the scene of the explosion, ali
afterward examined the damaged train.
He expressed the opinion that cartridges
made of the first order of explosives.
such as gun.cotton, were used by the
miscreants. The guard of the train
states that while he was looking ont Of
the car window just after leaving the
Praed street station, he saw some sparks
nearly underneath the carriage, and
Immediately after heard the explosion.
The explosive used at Charing Cross
was small in quantity. 1t is not be-
lieved to have been dynamite
| All the persons injured at the Praed
street station were in the last two car
riages of the train. 1t is now known
tnat twenty eight persons who were
wounded were taken to st. Marys
hospital Four of them are seriously
hurt, bu they passed a favorable night
and are expected to recover. The others
were able to 90 to their homes during
the night.
The police warned the Railway Of
fcials three months ago that they had
received advices from America OF
threatened explosions. Precau ions
were then taken to provide against
them. The explosives used last even
ing were powerful, but they were Of a
limited quantity. The holes made in
the ground and in the brickwork were
small.
Investigations made by scientific ad.
visers to the War Department have led
to the conclusion that nitro'glycerine
in some form was the agent used in
both cases. Later inquiries confirm
the early statement that large num-
Der of people wereinjured. In addition
20 over thirty treated at the hospital,
large number were attended by private
surgeons. One of the victims, Corpo-
raj of Hussars, says he was talking WIFE
friend on the train near Praed street,
when there was suddenly a very bright
flash, Immediately followed by a ter
riic report. He was struck by some
thing and almost knocked insensible.
When the train arrived at Edgewara
road he staggered across the platform,
and was picked up by a soldier. He re-
mem bers nothing more. This is only
} one of the many similar narratives.
, GLASGOW, October 3l.-Precautions
have been taken here against explosions
on railways. All the banks, public
r buildings and prisons are closel y watch.
