day that he was the instigator of
 the plot Reinsdorf, another of the
 prisoners, denied any complicity in the
 E1berfeld affair. Replying to question by the presiding judge Reinsdorf said
 that anarchism was not governed by hard and
 fast rules, but. each of it's disciples acted up- on his own discretion to advance the cause of the people. The evidence brought out in the course of the trial has shown that an elaborate system of mines containing charges of dynamite connected by electric wires had been placed along the route trav- ersed by the royal party and under the statue and terrible disaster was prevented only by the occurrence of heavy rain which soaked the dynamite. Reinsdorf seems to be the leader of the conspirators. The police in making arrests of persons suspected found and seized at Urneahr three bombs, one charged with black dynamite, the others similar to those used in the assassination of the Czar of Russia. They also found letters dated Buffalo, N. F., addressed to Reinsdorf, referring t0 him as leader and indicating that he was supplied with money from persons in the United States. These facts were eicited to-day and caused profound sensation, The prisoner Rupsach testified that he had repented of his intention to kill the Emperor and being en- trusted with tho placing of the'fuse had sub stituted for it and lighted an old cigar. The failure of the supposed fuse to explode made Reinsdorf furious and he compelled Rupsach to make 8 second attempt to carry out the plot while the Emperor and suite were returning. Rupsach this time cut the fuse in two and disclosed to
 Reinsdorf that the rain had damp ened it. These statements are dis. believed by the police, whose discoveries show that the flooding of the mines alone prevented the plans of the conspirators from succeeding. They believe that Rupsach is
 trying to secure clemency by causing an i'm. pression that he saved the Emperor's life Upon the conclusion of the testimony seven l out of the eight prisoners were convicted, in | cluding Reinsdorf #

From the San FfanclSCO AllaJ
 Anyone of logical turn of mind who. had been present upon the sea-wan yesterday afternoon would most surely have been con vinced of the fact that the dog is the smart est animal of the brute creation. A large crowd was congregated at the foot of Green street. In 8 way unknown to those who chanced to be upon the spot, a small terrier dog fell from the stringer of the wharf into the hay. He swan around for some time in a circle, and many plans were suggested for his rescue by witnesses of the misfortune, but none of them proved practical. The little creature seemed doomed to a watery grave. for it was apparent that he was fast Incoming exhausted. The female portion of the audience was much exercised and gave many expressions of pity. Just at that moment that all hopes of saving the terrier were given up the bark of dog in the crowd attracted attention, and but moment passed when there appeared upon the strln- ger in front of the wharf large Newfound- land. He saw the little fellow in the water, and with low vail he ran to and ITO along the wharf for moment or two, and then, to the surprise of everyone present, he sprang into the water and at once swan to the ter rier. seizing him by the neck with his teeth, and after swimming about for some time he siphted the new sea-wau extension about a hundred yards distant, for which he headed. He was eagerly watched by the admiring crowd until he reached his destination, when everybody started on a simultaneous run toward the rescuer. Upon landing his bur den upon terra frma the Newfoundland gave two or three sharp barks and seemed to pc proud of what he .shad done It was some time before the terrier was able 10 gam strength to walk away One or the Wl1nesse es of the strange sight took his nandkerchleL 4ia1 if ahOnt the neck or the Newfoundland, saying; "Ihis dog IS mine, and I would not take Sl,OOo TOT nm at tbis moment.

ATERRIFIC WIND STORM.

old Boreas Blowing Sfxty-four Miles
 an Hour.
 BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec. 15.-A great wind storm commenced last evening and in few hours was blowing sixty four miles an hour. The water in the harbor and creek rose rap. idly until it was higher than it had been in years. ssThe towpath was flooded and the occupants of dwellings along the thorough fare beat nasty retreat. Accidents were numerous, chimneys and portions of par tia1ly erected brick walls falling. Branches of trees were scattered in all directions. The chimney of school No. was blown down and crashed through the roof, but no one was hurt. The residents of the island awoke this morning to find the waves beat ing against the sea wall with violence nev- CT before equalled and a storm raging which bid fair to render them homeless. About 9 o'clock it was no longer an island but sand bar over which the waves were rushing furiously. The island consists of narrow strip of land stretching away on the right of the lighthouse and on the left the shore curves southeast for some distance. Back from the beach is the sea wall, barrier of stone four feet thick and from six to eight feet high, which in ordinary weather pro tects the row of little houses built under its lee. These are occupied by fishermen, boat men and others. When visited this morning the whole island was covered with water to depth of three or four feet and the wind was blowing sixty miles an hour. The houses were all washed away and the wall was broken down. At this hour 6 p. m.) the storm has subsided considerably and snow storm has set in.

 CLINTON, Iowa, Dec. 15.-Commissioner Esterbrook, appointed by the surrogate of Tompkins county, N. Y, has been taking testimony here for several days in the cele brated McGraw-Fiske will case, involving legacy of between $1 ,0OO, 900 and 5000, 900 left to Cornell university. Jennie McGraw married Professor Willard Fiske of the uni versity at Berlin in 1880. She died Septem- Der 30, 1881, leaving specific bequests of $1 ,00O, GOO and the residue of her estate, nearly g, 900, 900, to the university. The heirs claim the university could not receive the bequest under it's charter which provided that the institution could not hold more than three millions. This restriction was reme- died by the legislature subsequently,. The heirs also claim that the legacy to the uni versity is involved under the statute which prohibits person leaving more than one half of his estate to certain named institu- tions while near relatives survive. Testi- mony was taken here to show the value of the half interest held by Mrs. Fiske at her death in the lumber property-W. J. Young & Co.-valued at s1, ,750,O00 The commis- sioner and attorneys will go to Eau Claire, Wis, to take testimony.

A Fathers Terrible Assault on His

Son.
 ALBANY, Dec. 15.-This afternoon ter rible attempt at murder occurred at the Murphysville stables at Church and John streets in this city. Nicholas Quirk, a peddler fifty years old, and his son John were at the stable putting up their horse. The father for some unknown cause became angry with his son and scolded him, the boy retorting, when the father becoming enraged seized a pitchfork and as the boy turned to run threw it at him with full force The fork struck the boy in the back, penetrating one lung and probably injuring the spine. The wounded boy uttered a cry and fell to the floor. The noise attracted parties to the stable who pulled the fork from the boys back. Quirk was arrested and committed to await the re- suit of his sons injury. The boy is at the hospital in dying condition

THE INDEPENDENTS AT BOSTON Can Form No Association With the
 Renuhlicana

BOSTON, Dec. 15.-The independent com long report of it's executive committee. The report said: 'sWith a party which sees nothing to condemn in Blaine or his methods the Republicans and Independents who have refused to support him can form no political association. On the other hand they are not ready to unite themselves with the Demo- cratic party until they can be satisfied by the course of that party when in power that the object which they have at heart can best be attained by such union" The report reviewed the condition of public business at Washington and strongly censured Congress for failing to remedy the silver coinage and revenue surplus evils and the delays in the federal courts also for providing no method of diminishing the dangers of an electoral dispute, for failing to pass bankrupt law, to check the spread of Mormonism, to prevent the decay of the navy, to build up merchant marine, to solve the Indian question or to protect public land It also reviews the benefits to be re- ceived from the existence of an organized body of independent citizens to uphold the Presidents hand against the spoilsmen. It was recommended. that the Independents keep up their organization for this purpose and to agitate in favor of any measure which recommends itself to their support or against any which they do not approve, or for more direct political action if the emergency re- ouires it.

 Polls.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. t5.-The report sub rnitted to the Senate to-day by Mir Ingalls,, from the Committee on Judiciary, in relation to the employment of special agents and de- tectives by the department of justice curtly recites that the attorney general is charged with the prosecution of all cases in which the United States is interested and the examina- tion of the accounts of clerks, marshals and district attorneys. If it was desired to with draw that authority all that was necessary was to repeal this provision of law. If other wise then in the opinion of the committee it was desirable to vest with the attorney gen eral discretionary power to employ the,neces- sary assistance.
