CoRK, April G.-Carmody, o'Harliby
and Featherstone, the men arrested on a
charge Of being dynamite carriers, had a
re-examination to-day. 1t was conducted
with the utmost privacy. They were fur.
ther remapded for week and bail refused.
Featherstone created some sensation by
declaring that as for himself he was cit.
zen OF the United States; that he had placed
himself and his case in the hands Of the
United States Consul and expected through
that official to get redress for the indignity
heaped upon him. gffj"I

Uncovered by Congressrnan Mckinley
inH His InNektIgnlIonn.

EAST LIVERPOOL, o., April CT was not
generally known last fall that this place
was the scene oi almost every kind OF cor
ruption practiced at an election. Some of
our leading citizens knew It then, and the
testimony which Mckinley Is having
taken is giving this fact publicity.
It seems that just before last ialls
election one Charles Borehall, OF Salem,
brought $500 here, $50 oil which he said was
given by the Salem Knights Of Labor and
$3.50 bya prominent iron man OF Salem.
This money he gave To the Executive Com.
mttee Of the Knights Of Labor here, on
condition that the Knights would work for
the defeat OF Mckinley and the election Of
Wallace, and as the result OF this all but
four or five Knights voted for Wallace, al-
though they were Republicans. Most Of
them voted for Mckinley at the nomina-
tion. The further fact is being brought TO
light that twenty.seven names which ap.
pear on the poll-book are entirely unknown
here, and at least part oithese came from
Virginia for the purpose Of voting for
Wallace. Mckinley has in addition 10 all
this proved the casting OF nine illegal votes
in this township and two In St Clair town
by reason Of being cast by
and unnaturalized men. The
investigation will continue for ten days yet.

ST. LOUIS, April Gan attempt was
made to wreck the train OF the Missouri
Pacific Railroad, sixteen miles north Of
Denton, Texas, early yesterday morning,
but no harm was done. 1t is thought it
was not the design to wreck the passenger
train, but stop thetrain en- route TO Mexi-
co, having on board one hundred thousand
dollars to pay construction hands on the
Mexico Central Railroad. A negro was
discovered near the obstruction and jailed.
This is the second time the track has been
obstructed in the same place.

WASHINGTON, April 6-The extent to
which smallpox prevailed throughout the
country during the past winter created
uneasiness among the health boards OF a
number OF cities, and the National Board OF
Health was ON the alert to meet any emer-

spreading bya careful system Of inspection.
At present the National Board is maintain

those being points where the greatest
trouble has been had with the disease.

lrtheStattmenls contained in dispatch
hon Louisville eau be sustained upon a
rsd examination, Governor Blackburn Is
FACED in very unenviable light. It is a
,oiOrious fact that the number Of pardons
sued by the Governor has called the
carrier Journal out to condemn the whole
ale exercise OF the executive prerogativc,
saarking that it was no wonder that crime
aeeased and the State was reproaChed
Elen it waSsuch an easy matter to escape the
ptnAiIies Of the law. The present charges
nlle against the Governor not only allege
lAat thirteen pardons were issued in
bunch, but that they were obtained for a
pscuniary consideration. That II is fair
inference that the Governor received the
money no one will dispute, and It behoovea
SeRtucky's Executive to explain these
charges or rest under the imputation they
convey.

WILSON AND .OALLA0nRn.


In regard to Wilson and Gallagher, the
evidence Of the policemen who arrested
them was not less convincing. They de.
posed that when they inquired Of Wilson
what he had in his portmanteau, he pertly
replied: "You had better look" They ex.
alnined 1t and found rubber bags contain.
ing the LIQUIDS already described. Gala.
CHER denied any knowledge OF these bags
or their contents. Although Gallagher was
arrested in Nelson Square he gave his ad.
dress as Chareng Gross Hotel. II was re-.
marked at this point in the proceedings
that clue to Gallagher's Connec.
tion with Norman was that the en-.
yelope found on Norman was directed
to Gallagher, and Fletcher's dispatch to
Norman asked him to call at the place
which Gallagher claimed as his residence.
The police stated further they found at
Gallagher'srooms more rubber bags like
those In the portmanteau, besides guam.
tity OF money and letter credit for 5000,
dated New York, March Is. Gallagher
here lnterposed with the remark that the
much talked about liquid was merely

were explosive that was indeed new dis.
coyery. In respect to the arrest OF Dalton,

fused TO give any address except Bowle's
