DYNAMIrg TRIALS

LIVERPOOL, August S.-The main charge
against 0'Herlihy, Feathentone, Deasy,
Flanagan and Dalton, is treason and fel.
ony, similar to that contained in the in.
dictment found in the Bow street police
court, some time ago, against DR.. Gallagher
and his fellow conspirators.
Various witnesses testified that Dalton
was a passenger in the Celtic, in February,
under the name Of Johnson, and has been
in America ten years. He was also called
0'Connor. When arrested in Bowles'
reading room, London, he had memo
randum concerning the manufacture OF ex-
plosives; he also had roll Of paper sim.
liar TO some paper around number OF
brass taps found on Deasy. Experts testi.
fed that the explosive articles which Deasy
and Flanagan had when arrested were
similar to those used in the attempt to blow
up the office Of the London Tines. They
said the articles in question were not suit
able fer industrial purposes.

BREAKING THE WIRES
OF THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY,
Another Gap ia tn. Connection at s.u York
Niasty Seven Wir" Cut-Whols Is to BlIusl
COLaetInr Ranors OF the Sueesa
Of the Railroad Operators.

NEw YoRK, August s.-Last night an
other onslaught was msde upon the wires
of the Western Union Telegraph Company,
the consequences Of which are far more dis
astrous than that OF the preceding night.
Press Agent someryille, Of the Western
Union, said this morning twenty wires
were cut on one route, and fourteen on an
other, between Passaic and Elizabethport,
N. J. These were wires to Philadelphia
and other points in the Southern division.
Twenty OF Mutual Union wires are cut
between Kings Bridge and scarsdsle. At
Tarrytown twelve Hudson River wires aie
down, and eighteen wires In Eastern cir
cults are destroyed between Port Chester
and Greenwich, Conn. The cross-arms are
sawed of in the latter instance, and wires
cut besides. The first wires 10 60 down
were those on the Eastern circuit, which
were lost about 1880 o'clock last night
Others went down shortly after midnight.
A large force OF linemen were sent out to
repair the damage, and the lines are being
repaired as rapidly as possible. The cutting
Of the wires ihteffered with others across
Sbich they fell, so that the greatest con-
fusion was created. For q long time this
morning, said Mr.. SJmeryille, work was
greatly delayed.
Superintendent Humstone estimated that
when work was begun this morning, one
half Of the wires to Philadelphia, one.
quarter OF those to the West, and one-third
Of the Eastern circuits could not be used.
The whole number OF wires cut Is 81, but
nearly 200 are rendered useless in conse-
Quence. A telegram from Fort Washington
says a gang OF men had iuteriered with
nemen VINO were repairing the wires
there, and police protection has been asked
in case the interference is repeated.
No clue has yet been discovered Of the
authors OF the mischief, although the great.
est vigilance is being exercised. The West
ern Union Company has employed detec-
tves to ferret out the perpetrators Of the
wire cutting. It is the general opinion
that the strikisg linemen are answerable
Tor the injuries. The COMPANY Is consid=
e'ably put out by tnis new method OF war
fare. At the headquarters Of the Brother.
hook Of fTeIegraphers it was emphatically
denied that the cutting was being done by
the striking linemen.

on the ground that the salaries offered for

tract better class Of men comparatively
among colored people than white men.
Salaries in the postal service, for instance,
begin at $500, and do not get much above
$500 or $1,000, and in consequence the
Commission find that fewer candidates Of
good parts and education apply than they
could wish. Salaries Of this range are Of
much better attraction to educated colored
than to white men, and are sought by
them with greater keenness. The same may
be said Of female applicants.
