LONDON GREATLY EXCITED,
over Last Nights Dynamite Expio.
siOn-The Authorities Taking Ex-
tunordinnry Precautions.


LONDON, May 31.-The excitement caused
by the EXPLOSIONS OF dynamite last night Is In.
tense and many alarming rumors prevail. Tho
police, who have boon actively engaged since
the explosion In searching for tho persons
who committed the outrage, have as yet mado
no arrests nor obtained tho slightest clue.
The fear that more disasters OF the same
sort arc TO speedily follow is 80 great that
large force OF police have boon detailed 10
guard all the public buildings aud railroad
siaiions, while number OF detectives have
been placed on duty in the vicinity OF each of
the Cabinet Minister'S houses, and n couple
are at tho disposal OF each Minister, TO guard
him TO and from his residence.
Great pressure 10 being brought 10 bear on
the Government to offer
a Reward of $4,000
for the capture OF the persons who caused last
nights explosions, and 1900 pounds for In
formation which will lead to their arrests.
nfaiion ms they recently received n number OF
threatening letters which Il ia now believed
were sent by dynamiters warning them that
the lnvinciblee intended TO avenge the arrests
OF John DAILY, James Egan and william Nc
Donald, and saying that the police headquar.
teis would be made to feel tho power OF that
organization.
The last threatening letter received by the
police Indicated that an outrage which would
astonieh Scotland Yard would be perpetrated
on the Queens birthday. So wild were some
OF the assertions In the letters that the police
paid little attention to them, and only no.
membered their contents when awakened TO q
sense OF alarm by last nights explosions.

IN MEMORY OF COLONEL MEAoHAM
An Impressive Service at His Grave
Kaafprdoy.


A special memorial service, OF a very Inn
pressive character, was held at the grave OF
Colonel A. u. Meacham In Congressional Gem
etery yesterday, conducted by the Ooloners
former pastor, Rev. DR.. Naylor. The grave
was beautifully decorated with floral tributes.
Conspicuous among them was large anchor
OF roses, piDke and pansies, which we learned
from card attached was contributed by the
Indian delegation.
DR.. MAYORS address, which was OF Itself
memorial wreath OF thought flowers, fragrant
with love and tenderness, was followed by
poem by Mrs. Lydia II. Tilton, the service
closing with poetic tribute from Mrs. Mary
Kali.
Mra. Tilton's poem was as follows:
Could every one whom his llfe.work has blest,
With but one flower his gratitude attest
Above this honored grave, q mount would rlso
EXhaling fragrance even to the skies.
Bat not In fading blossoms here, ia wrought
HIS monument. He changed nations thought
And worked Into the nations life his plans
To prove his faith In God, by faith In man.
Not We, alone, this silent grave would tond;
Some OF these flowers above our honored friend
Are tributes from his loved ones far away,
Who mourn blest, but broken, home to-day.
God keep the hearts that weep safe In his care,
God bless our land and rouse mon everywhere
To noble deeds-deeds that like his shall stand
AS monuments OF greatness In our land.

which vindicates an Accused Muir.
dcrer and Brings N Murdcress TO


CnILLIcoTHE, o., May 3i.--A singular state
Of facts has Just been developed which, after a
period OF eleven years, brings murderess to
the bar u Justice aud vindlcates an innocent
man who was convicted OF her crime. In 1872
Henry Somerset, OF this city, was fatally
stabbed at night near his home, but crawled
to his door and was taken in by his wife. CIR.
cumstances at that time pointed at Valentine
Weip, butcher, as the murderer. Wells was
arrested, tried and convicted of murder In the
second degree, but owing to some irregularity
tho supreme Court reversed the decision and
weis was granted n new trial.
HIS case was, however, carried from term to
term and finally nolle pressed because OF cor
tain doubts that existed as to his guilt. Som
orsets wife, whose maiden name was Min
ME Scharfr, last Thursday made n death bed
confession, and charged that her mother. Mrs.
Mary Scharif, murdered her husband, Henry
Somerset, and that she saw the deed done.
She relates that the cause was Jealousy on the
pntt OF the mother. circumstances now re-
WONDERED strongly tend to corroborate the
confession. Mrs. Scharir the elder was arrested
yesterday and Will have preliminary hear.
ing Monday.
