A correspondent OF an Eastern Jour-
nal wrote TO his PAPER from the Chicago
Convention "Ths csiorsd delegates
are enjoying Chicago. They stop AZ
the grand hotels, in the full and free
and joyous exercise Of the fullest civil
rights. They ait in the parlors, they
are Al home In the dining rooms, and
when Blaine gentlemen have nos got
them by the arm or on a sofa for social
chat about the outlook for the Republic,
Mr.. Arfhur's friends are paying them
the most polite attentions. They are
not only men and brethren. but they
are objects Of the tsndcrest solieitnde.
and their experience illustrates what

Once on twice . year our usual peace
ful ssd quiet community 10 startled BY
the announcement Of row between
well known citizens, and our people
have, by general consent, agreed to lay
il TO '-something in the air." Yesterday
afternoon Robert Russell. an old and
respected citizen. and John Kahaley.
also q respectable family man, had .
hand to hand fight on the Columbia and
Puoes Sound Railroad Company 8
wharf. They are both engaged IN the
taaming business. Their vehicles COL
lided and hard words ensued. which
finally resulted in blows. After the
thing vas over the men realized that
there Was nothing In such boyish work.
80 they talked il over and made mp
| friends.
shortly after the termi 7ation of this
trouble, Mrs. Joe Hunt assaulted John
Keenen, a member of the City Council,
With the butt end Of black snake, and
gave him several severe ticks over the
head before be could get away. The
| voman's husband stood by with drawn
revolver, TO see that the job Was well
done. Mr.. Keeneu gives the following
| version of the affair: Several months
ago, Mrs. Hunt Whose husband 10
brewer or vinegar maker came to me
and borrowed twenty dollars The
debt WAS not paid. and ! finally had to
sue for the money. / got Judgment
and the twenty dollars. This so infu'
rated the woman that she hunted me
up at my Office and assaulted me-" The
reporter then got the woman's state
ment. bat il is of 80 damaging a char
acter that its publication is withheld.
Mr.. Keenen has sworn out warrants
against both Hunt and his wife. anC
the case will probably come on for hear
ing at the next term of court, when all
the evidence that is fit to appear II
print, will be given in these columns

The Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company and Oregon improvement

to be no material change in the status

WAS 1T MURDERl
The Body OF the Boy Sidney Tanner
Exhumed to Ascertain Whether or
Not He Died a Violent Death.

DOVER, n. H., Dec. 16.
The body of Sidney Tanner, aged years,
son of Mrs. Isadore and the late Geo. A.
Tanner, was exhumed at Pennington today
for the purpose of learning whether or not
the boy died violent death, as alleged at the
hands of VIM. Gilpatrick, his employer. A
post mortem was held in Pennington Town
Hall. As the examination was conducted
under sworn secrecy, it eau only be said ihat
the result of the examination as learned from
the doctors is that death was due to inham-
nation of the brain. The examining doctors
will report tomorrow to the Rockingham
county solicitor their findings. Meanwhile
much interest is felt in the result. The gem
eral belief is that the boy died from Gilpat-
rick's violence.

THE GERMAN EXPLOSION.
Why Emperor William was Not Killed
Confession of an Anarchist.

LFIPsHG, Dec. 10th.
Rupsch the anarchist, has confessed ths,
ReinsdOrf also on trial, ordered him TO fire
the miDe at Niderwsld. 1t was placed in =
drain which crosses the road about ten min
utes walk from Niderwsld. He was ordered
to fire the mine when Emperor Williams car
risge was fifty feet distant from the drain, by
applying lighted cigar to the end of the fuse
placed at the side of the roadway. Rupsch
asserts that he was unwilling to effect the ex
plosion and only applied an unlighted cigar,
Kaechlen upbraided Rupsch for his failure
and the latter gave an explanation of his fail
ure, that the fuse was wet and failed to light.
kuechlen then told Rupsch to place new tin
der in the fuse and explode the mine when
the Emperor was returning. Rupsch return
ed to the drain, fastened fresh finder to the
fuse. but cut the face in two about two metres
from the charge. When the Emperor was a
proper distance from the spot Rupsch APP
piled a burning cigar to the fuse and walked
away. Keuchlen was very angry at the sec
ond failure and when the road was clear of
people, removed the dynamite to the grand
pavilion at Ruesheim, where q concert was
in progress.
Kuechlen thereupen sneaked away and
Rupsch exploded the dynamite, ten pieces
from the pavillisn and ran away. He de-
Clares tnat ne only wanted 10 see tne unNen-
ing of the monument at whatever expense,
and that he intended from the first to frus-
trate the murderous plan, These discoveries
are disbeleved by the police, whose discov-
cries show conclusively that the flooring of
the mines alone prevented the plans of the
consprators from succeeding. They believe
that Ruspsch is trying to secure clemencv for
himself by creating the impression that he
saved the Emperor's life. Upon the couclu-
sion Of the testimony, seven out of eight of
the prisoners were convicted, including Reins-
dorf.
The evidence brought out in the course of
the trial has shown that an elaborate system
of mines containing charges of dynamite con-
nected by electric wires, had been arranged
along the route traversed by the royal party,
and under the statue, and terrible disaster
was prevented only by the occurrence Of
heavy rain which soaked and spoiled the
dynamite. The police in making arrests Of
persons suspected, found and siezed at
Urinahr three bombs. one charged with
black dynamite, and the other two with the
same kind as that used in the assassination of
the Car of Russia. They also found a let
ter dated Buffalo, N. Y, addressed to Reins-
dorf, referring to him as the leader and indi-
eating that he was supplied with money from
persons in the United States.
