BAYARD BEING DOOMED.
The Senator from Delaware in the Race
for the Nomination at Chicago.

There is at present an undercur-
rent Of feeling flowing towards Sen
ator Thomas F. Bayard as an excel
lent candidate to pit against Mr..
Blaine. Washington, the Mecca of
politicians, is alive with enthusiasm
that portends the great strength Of
the subject of our illustration in
the rank and file of his party.
Thomas F. Bayard is a member
of one of the most famous families
in the State of Delaware The first
American Bayard was Nicholas, a
brother-in law of Governor Peter
Stuyvesant, and a rigid Huguenot.
The statesman who now most con-
spicuously honors the family, is
one of several of it's members who
have served their country with
distinction in the Federal Congress.
He was born October %, 1928,
was educated at the ''Flushing"
School, Wilmington, and as a boy
aspired to become merchant. But
with youth came more ambition
which has born fruit in his popu-
larity to-day. In 1851 Mr.. Bayard
was admitted to the Bar. He then
opened an office and in few years
commanded remunerative practice.
Up to 1869 he steadily pursued his
business as a practicing lawyer,
with. but one break, namely, in
1853, when he served for short
time as United States District At
torney. He succeeded his father as
United States Senator in 1869, and
was reelected in 1875 and 1881.
His position is that Of a lead r,due
not only to superior ability, but
unassailable integrity and honor.
Senator Bayard was a staunch
friend of the South during the
period of reconstruction; ''hard
money" man when influential men
in both the leading political parties
favored the payment Of national
obligations on other than the gold
basis, and member of the minor
ity in the Electoral Commission.
He stands in as high a position be-
fore the country to-day as any
Democratic statesman, and would
certainly prove a strong candidate
if nominated for the Presidency
The lapse Of time during the can
vass would increase his strength.

A Dynamite Ran.

Atlanta Special: There is now in
this city man so charged with dyn-
amite that he is a continual source
of danger to himself at well as to
others. Three years ago Mr.. E. C.
Nathans, brother-in-law of the pres
ent mayor of Montgomery, Ala,
was in the enjoyment of the most
robust health. He was a printer
by trade, and with the migratory
spirit so peculiar to the craft, he set
out in quest of adventure. Reach
ing Brownsville, Tex, he crossed
the Rio Grande and became deeply
interested in the wild scenes attend
ant upon the camps which marked
the progress of the Mexican Cen
trail construction force. He was
intelligent, understood the careful
handling Of dangerous explosives,
and was soon consulted when dan
gerous blasts were to be made. He
was offered the place of superin-
tendent of a gang of thirty-five
men, and was given most OF the
dangerous pieces of work. So reck-
less did he become in the handling
of nitro .glycerine and giant powder
that he was looked upon by the
natives as having charmed life.
To him was assigned the task of
blasting out two of the longest tun-
nels on the road. He would bur-
row his way through tie mountain
by repeated charges of powerful
explosives. AS the opening pene-
trated into the bowels of the noun
tain the party would have to fol-
low it. In this way the men would
inhale the gases which would fill
the cavity after every explosion.
Nathans gradually began to feel a
slight headache, his arms and legs
became swollen, and his lips as
sumed purple hue. His entire
nervous system became shattered
SO that his hand would not obey
his will, and in fact every organ
seemed to have fallen apart and to
be working without any unity OF
purpose. On several occasions

The Senate is trying to force the
House to agree to the appropriation
for the fraudclad monitors, that
historic swindle.
The House committee on appro-
priations, against the advice OF Mr..
Randall, and by the ominous vote
of eight to seven, has agreed to re-
port fort and and fortification bill
appropriating $3,07O,OOO. This is
nearly 10 times the amount voted
for the purpose by the 47th Con-
gress at its first session, and more
than three times the amount of
the most extravagant bill of the sort
passed during the last 10 years.
Thus million is piled on top of
million. The game goes merrily on.
The reckoning comes later in the
year.
The Billings herald. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1882-1885, 1884-07-12

when Nathans got into railroad cuts
where some loose earth was lying
around him it could be seen to
Jump and move away as if scattered
by some agency. He realized that
he was so charged with the explos-
i've agency that his presence had
the effect of creating small explos-
ions wherever he went. He re-
turned to St. Louis, where he con-
suited a well known physician, who
confirmed Nathans' suspicious MS to
what was the matter with him.
"I am satisfied that the touch of
d galvanic battery would have much
the same effect upon your system
as spark of fire would have in
powder magizine."
81 would explode then?" qucried
Nathans.
"That is my opinion" responded
the doctor, though we might make
some experiments"
"No, no." replied Nathans, II do
not care to be experimental on"
Mr.. Nathans is now in Atlanta
under medical treatment. His ease
has fairly puzzled the doctors A
little heat will make him look as
red as a rose, and while in this con-
dition all small objects fly away
from him. He is peculiarly sensi-
tive to the touch of steel. The
most sorrowful part of his afflictlon
is he is suffering with incipent soft
ening of the brain. He looks oc-
casionally in vacant sort of way,
then brightens up and takes an ac-
tive part in all conversations ad-
dressed to him. His pecularity
has won for him the title of "The
Dynamite Man."

al. P. ST." in his attempt "at this late

the first one himself; for it is we'll known
and established fact that company A, WASH
ington Light Infantry, was the first company
mu stored into the United States service dur
ing the late rebellion, and If 81. p. s." had
taken the trouble to verify his information
before rushing into print, he would have
learned the reason why he has never
seen denial Of the statement in
tho papers," because. to tell tho truth,
it could not be denied. Company A, WASH
ington Light Infantry Capt. Lemuel Towers
commanding, and at present residing in
Washington was mustered into the United
States service on the (see page ], l02 A, part B.

as Capt. Williams company, militia .infan-
try"
Capt. Carringtou's company was mustered
into the United States service on the thir-
tenth day of April, 1861. 1t will thus be
seen that Company was mustered three days
prior to Capt. Carrington's company, for
which l.. p. S. claims precedence.
| colonel and Lieut.. Williams succeeded him as
captain, which accounts for the designation,
capt. Williams company militin infantry"
l.. p. s. also states that Capt. Carrington's
company was the largest single company that
| was mustered into the service during the re-
bellion. Again he is in error for there were
companies in some Of the New York regiments
which exceeded Capt CPS company in rank
and file. / do not mention the fact with any
dispsragement to Capt. Carrington's COM
pany, but two wrongs will not make right.
am confident tho muster rolls on file in
the adjutant generals Office, war department,
will verify the above statements, and the fact
as to company being the first company
mustered can also be further substantated by
the captain and other gentlemen members OF
the company at the time of the muster, and
who are numbered among our most respected
and worthy citizens at the present day. Re-
spectfully, JOHN G. CowIE,
