The DYnamiters.

London, March 5.-The police seem
to be on the right track to discover the
authors of the dynamite outrages and
think they have evidence which will
soon lead to their capture. 1t has been
learned that three men landed at South
ampton, February 20, from a steamer
from New York. Two Of them were
Of gentlemanlike appearance and the
other rough and sailorlike. They pur-
chased two -portmanteaus, n of which
has been identified as that found at
Charing cross station filled with explos-
ives, and the other as that found at
Victoria station. The portion of an
overcoat found in the Charing Cross
bag is similar to a garment worn by
one of the three men. 1t is believed
that three other men, who have not
been traced, landed likewise at South
ampton and acted in concert with the
known, but kept aloof from them. The
three men first mentioned left South
ampton about the same time. Two
gentlemen came to London, where
went directly to the Waverly hotel. He
had with him a valise as ''heavy as
lead" The other went to the Waverly
a few days later. After they left the
hotel two boxes, made to contain small
American clocks, and the tray of a cash
box, similar to that in the portmanteau
found at the Paddington station, were
discovered. The sailor took a ticket
from Southampton for Bristol, but this
is not believed to have been his destina-
ton, as he had previously written a let
ter addressed to Limerick. 1t is sup
posed six men were concerned in the
plot and divided themselves into three
parties on February 21st. A reward is
offered for the apprehension of the five
men, two Of whom are described as
Burns or Barton, who described him
self as an American detective, took
lodgings at Bradford, February 9th,
had two black trunks and allowed no

February 18th he brought home with
him several strange men and women.
On another occasion, sometime after
this, a kissing sound was heard to pro-
coed from the strangers room, followed
by an explosion. Burns opened the
door and exclaimed that there was not
anything wrong. He disappeared on
February 81, and a woman called for
his luggage. She said Burns was about
to return to New York.

MUsEMENTs
The Coming Week to Open with
splendid Attractions at the
Opera House.

The coming week will open nicely at
the opera house for our theatre-going
people. Two entertainments are al
ready billed. The first, for Monday
evening, is the Hoop of Gold,'' a
grand spectacular drama, by the Maui
bury 81 Overton company. A car load
of new scenery with many novel stage
effects are promised. The Troy Times
thus speaks of the piece: at is filed
with thrilling incidents and exciting
situations, and the interest is well
maintained throughout the whole play.
The audience last evening loudly ap
plauded the Thames scene, and insisted
upon u second view of it,"
This will be followed on the next
evening, Tuesday, by Haverly's comedy
company in ''Our Strategists." 1t was
presented at the Tabor opera house, In
Denver, on last Tuesday evening, and
this is the way the Tribune of yestel-
day spoke of its presentation:
1t opens to a large house and the
mirth, which was ~unceasIng during the
entire evening, would indicate Thai the
play was a success n that the bust
ness will grow with each performance.
''0ur Strategists' is a comedy of many
ludicrous complications, which, thanks
to the ingenuity Of the author and the
talent of the actors, can be easily fol-
lowed. 1t is bright, witty, and full of
intensely funny situations which follow
each other 80 rapidly that before the
auditor has had time to ecover from one
convulsion of hysterical laughter he is
thrown into another ft thai really jeop-
ardiz,s his standing in polite society,
where languid smiles are supposed to
be ''the thing" The plot of the play
centers on Mr.. FL. b. Bell and Miss
Katie Gilbert, the strategists, both OF
whom established themselves in great
favor with the audience. Mr.. Bell Is
a talented Young man and II of the
few now OF the stage pointed out as a
rising actor. His fun Is of a refined
order and pleasing to all his hearers
alike. Miss Gilbert is a pretty, vivacious,
talented little lady, who wins the adj
miration Of the audience when she
first bounds upon the stage. She pos
sesses ability, a superbly expressive pair
of sparkling eyes and gentle features
and is pleasing. Nc more could be de-
sired. Mr.. Henry Linden is also a
clever comedian, and by his good work
IN "Our S~trategists," has won an x
cellent reputation throughout the
United States. Miss Marie Bates also
deserves especial mention. Her make
up was something to be admired. A
handsome woman rarely cares to hid,
her beauty behind a gray wig, wrinkles
and spectacles. She is n good actrss
and elected much favorable comment
last night. The company entire 1
strong. "Our S~trategists' will be re
peated tonight.
