RAIN AVERTs \ HORROR.

Sixteen Pounds of Dynamite Under the
Statue of Germania at its UnveiIing.
BERLIN. April 26.-The committee of
the Reichstag, to which the bill prolOnging
the special anti-SOcialist law was referred.
has adopted the resolution of the new
Liberal party to introduce at the present
session a bill dealing with Anarchists and
the Illegal use of explosives. Herr Won
Boetticher, Heme Secretary of State. has
promised to submit to the Bundesrath a
proposal TO that effect within three days.
The object the resolution is TO give great
er stringency to the existing anti-Socialist
laws. A sensation was caused by a state
ment made to the committee bv Herr
Richter that the Anarchists had placed
sixteen pounds Of dynamite under the
statue of Germania at Neider-W aid
shortly before the unveiling of the monu-
ment, and that terrible catastrophe was
only prevented by the fortunate circum-
stance that rain had rendered the ex-
plOsiyes harmless for the time. The dyna-
mite failed in its mission and was dis
covered after the immense assemblage had
dispersed, the fact being kept secret until
this time.

Judge Thayer of the Court of Common
Pleas to-day delivered the final judgment
of that court in the suit brought by the
city against Henry c. Terry and others
for the recovery of $780, 900. Mr.. Terry is a
lawyer who undertook to nego-
tiate a purchase for the city of the
Kensington and Oxford turnpike
at a price not to exceed $4,000. He also
made a compact with the stockholders of
the Turnpike Company that all the pro-
ceeds OF the sale over $4,000 should be
left to him as his fee. The city thereupon
instituted equity proceedings to recover
$4,000 from Mr.. Terry. The court now
rules finally that the city must pay the
$4,000 bonus, and that the lawyer is en-
titled to his big fee.

agricultural settlement. They started
ostensibly for the Nipe plantation, "a few
miles in the interior, but returned to an
isolated part of the coast, where they re-
ceiyed munitions of war which had been
sent from Hayti. These were originally
intended for thedse of Boyer Bazelais in

him before his overthrow. The authOri-
ties of Holquin and OF Mayari are pur-
