BLOWING UP LONDON BRIDGE.
An Unsuccessful Attempt to Blow Up
the London Bridge Yes
terday.
Completed its Work and Everything
Is Ready for To-Morrow.
THE UNITED KINGDOM.

LONDON, Dec. 13.-An explosion occurred
here to-day which is stiIl involved in mys-
terry. Careful inquiry AZ various police Offices
elected the statement that no serious dam
age was done. The general belief Is that
some explosive article was thrown from or
beneath the London bridge.
LONDON. Dec. Il. 9 a. m.-The explosion
was thought at first to have occurred at the
London bridge depot, but this proved un-
founded. Persons on London bridge at the
time Of the explosion say they heard q loud
report and observed two flashes Of light.
Many panes Of glass were broken in the Gus
tom house. The latest account shows the
explosive material was thrown from London
bridge into the Thames, and on striking the
water burst into a fame and loud explosion
followed The police are making an .investi-
CATION.
LONDON, Dec. II, 3 q. m.-The explosion
at London bridge occurred at about $40
O'Clock last evening. The police thinka boat
containing explosives and a burning fuse
attached was allowed to drift beneath the
bridge. Eye Witnesses say the flames shot
up simultaneously from each side Of the
bridge, showing the fuse bad been nicely
liLncu 70 cause the explosion Enen half way
beneath the bridge. The damage Is believed
TO be slight, although darkness pre- vented q
thorough examination.
LONDON, Dec. IA, q. MT is an I'M
DOUBTED fact that an attempt Was made to
blow up the London bridge. The police have
absolutely no information Of the affair. Ii is
nov supposed dynamite was used in the ex-
plosion and dropped over the bridge and
alighted on the buttress. The damage done
consists chiefly Of broken windows in the
houses In the vicinity. A bOOtblack relates
bis experience Of the explosion as follows:
Il was cleaning gentIemAn's boots when
suddenly felt the earth shake about me.
Immediately afterward there was a
terrific explosion and | was stunned When
recovered consciousness the gentleman had
disappeared" The buttress on which the ex-
plosiVe Is supposed 10 have allghted is only
slightly damaged. Persons crossing the
bridge AZ the time Of the explosion were
thrown down and many gas Jets in the yicin-
ity eXtiuguished BY the conclusion.
LONDON, Dec. l3.-The sentence Of Capt.
Dudley and Mate Stevens, the Mignone.te
can initials, was committed from han ing to
six months iDprison ment without labor.

THE 4DYEyr cBRIsTH4s

Not only the Juveniles, and the little ones
are full Of excited expectation at the near
approach of the annual advent OF the myth
cal Santa Claus, but children Of a larger
growth, as well, are looking forward, not
only with expectation, but with genial and
generous impulses to the supreme presenta-
ton hour. The usual custom Of giving and
receiving is beautiful humanizing one.
December 25th will dawn upon many hap
DIV household. The delightful prattle OF chill
dren viii arouse the memory of the inno-
cent past iu many a mind, and while giving
is uDconfned among the innocents, it is diff
ficult for the more advanced in life 10 deter
mine which is freighted with the greater de-
light, the enjoyment Of the present, or the
remembrance of the past, when childhood
knew no care.
To go beyond the pleasing Juror of childish
delight at the reception of the bewilderng
contents Of the park Of childhoods venerable
patron Saint, he custom of bestOwing, and
exchanging tokens of affection, and kind re-
mem brances is a beautiful one, sweeping
from the heart the dross Of sordid selhshness,
and filing the soul with emotions Of tender
ness awakened by nothing else on earth.
Parents, brothers, sisters, friends, lovers,
swept by the gushing tide Of overlooking af-
lection, are never so etherialized, so lifted
above earth's coroding influences, as in the
gift giving and receiving OF the Christmas
time, when heart responds to heart each
anxious to bestow happiness upon loved ones.
The custom is beautiful one, attesting the
divinity within US, and even suggesting the
permanent joys of a higher, boiler sphere
where nothing gross or earthly shall ever
separate between veriest loving friends.
The merry Christmas. with ITS generous boards,
Its frelit hearts and gifts and blazing trees,
The pleasant voices uttering gentle words.
Its genial mirth attuned to sweet accords,
Its holy memories.
The fairest season CT the passing year
The merry, merry Christmas time lie here.
The sumacs by the brook have lost their red !;
The mill-wheel in the ice stands dumb and
still.
The leaves have fallen and the birds have fed
The flowers we loved in summer, all are dead I;
And winter winds blow chill;
Yet something makes this dreariness less
dresr-
The merry, merry Christmas time lie here.
Since last the panes were boar with Christmas
frost.
Unto our lives some changes have been
given;
Some of our barks have labored, tempest
tossed,
Some OF us, too, have loved, and some have
lost,
Some found their restin heaven.
So, humanity, we minge smile and tear,
When merry Christmas time is drawing near.

True to lis Na cure and POLICY.

The Minneapolis paper, printed IN St.
Paul, after having published a batch Of swell
statistics OF Minneapolis, yesterday made 8
eounteraeting sickly show for 81. Paul.
Policy compels that prosiifuted sheet to make
a show Of doing something for this city, and
policy also leads il TO swell Minneapolis
while it beitiles ST. Paul. We have not got
time to 60 through the pretended statistics
published in that fraudulent sheet yester-
day, but here are few OF the omissions that
came 10 mind on brief glance at the bogus
exhibit. In what il says of the work for
next year no mention was made Of the fol-
lowing: Hale's block, on the corner Of
Third and Jackson street; Dawson's
block, on Seventh street, west OF Robert,
where the excavation for the foundation has
already been made; the club house, which Is
completed 10 the first floor; a three story
brick block l00xl00 on Dakota avenue,
foundation in; a three story brick block
lOOxlOO corner Of Seventh and Bradley,
foundation in; the completion Of the Ryan
hotel; the completion of the chamber Of
commerce building; the completion Of the
Davidson block on Wabsshaw street, between
Third and Fourth streets; completion of the
Geiselman block on Seventh street, between
Cedar and Minnesota streets; the block be-
tween Beach and Minnehaha, foundation in !;
the completion Of the National German
American bank, corner Robert and Fourth
streets. There. are many others that
could be mentioned as not included
in the pretended tables, but these few
large and costly blocks that have been men
toned are sufficient to show how utterly
worthless the tables referred to are. All
through there is 10 bp observed an absolute
and patent depreciation Of the structures,
and yet the sheet referred To claims and as
sumes a great disposition to be fair. ANY
man who knows anything about the value Of
property in ST. Paul can see without difficulty
that the object all the way through is to be-

Chaffee Tells what Grant Wants.

DENVER, Dec. 1S.-Ex-senator Jerome B.
Chatfee, chairman of the executive commit
tee Of the national Republican committee,
arrived from New York to-day. Speaking of
Gen. Grants refusal tn become a United
States pensioner, Senator Chsffee said to an
interviewer: "For one reason, apart from
all others, the hero Of Appomattox could not
consistently do 80, from the fact that he him.
self vetoed just such measure when presi-
dent as lately proposed In his own behalf. !"
But what Senator Chaffee warmly declares
should BE- accorded 70 Gen. Grant, and what
he believes he would accept, is his official re-
tirement with full pay from the time of the
expiration Of his military services.

BROTHER MOODY, in his remarks Saturday
afternoon, inveighed somewhat against GER
tain things that belong to the customs of the
country and are common in all sections, such
as the running of street cars, the issuing of
Sunday morning papers and the like. While
upon the topic the good man might have
done this community a service had he re-
buked the wicked Pioneer Press, whose chief
proprietor is member of the church in which
the Evangelist WAS speaking, for sending out
fits tired and overworked reporters last Sun
pay to witness and report for its NJ ,nday
Issue prize fight which occurred in Hen
nepin county. This was an omission that
was noticed and commented on by many in

CHICAGO, Dec BIN accordance with a
circular of Commissioner Fink, the east
bound roads to-day announced new lumber
rates on basis OF thirty-two cents from Chi
eago to New York, aud thirty-seveu cents

senger agents OF roads in the Colorado rail-
way association, in session here to-day, de-
eided to make the same passenger rate from
Council Bluffs, Pacific Junction and East
Nebraska City to Colorado points as from
Omaha ani Kansas City, thus abrogating the
bridge tolls heretofore collected.
