New YORK, Feb. 2.-The first criminal use
of dynamite in this city greatly excited the
people here ON Sunday. The explosion took
place ut very late hour and one or TWO
morning papers made second editions giving
the news The explosion was at Garry
Brothers dry goods store, Grant and Allen
streets. at the time a number of persons
were passing the spot but none Of them were
injured. Captain Allaire and squad Of Of
ficers guarded the premises of Garry Broth
ers ami of Ridley Brothers, the windows OF
whose establishment were also sh altered by
the explosion.
Shortly after the explosion four men wer0
found in the shadow of the livingston street
station of the elevated road, one of them,
Charles Henry, laborer, who said he lived
at Williamsburg, with severely cut head and
face. The others, VIM. Britton, waiter;
JAS Daily, clerk. and Jos Lamb, painter,
were binding Henry's wounds
All were arrested and remanded. lad
was arrested, charged with experimenting in
dynamite, at the corner of Grand and Essex
streets, where he succeeded in dislodgirg a
portion of the horse car track. 1t could not
be connected with the other explosion.
The bomb or cartridge used in last nights
explosion must have been placed immedl-
aUeIy underneath the framework OF the WIN
dow of Garry Brothers store, the window
casing and sash being entirely demolished
The shock was felt several hundred feet. A
lamp on a shelf in the Eldridge street house,
three hundred feet away, was thrown to the
floor. Dishes in tenement houses In the

looked as though they had received violent
blows
There is no evidence that the cartridge was
applied to Ridley's store. Had it not been Tor
the heavy elevated railroad structure which
! runs up Allen street between the two stores,
! however, the probability is good part OF the
west side of Ridiey's building would have
suffered Many of Ridley's employees came
to the spot to guard the premises.
The damage to both buildings is $500

FINANCE AND MINING.
The Improved Feeling all
Around.
ORE AND BULLION RECEIPTS
The City Feeling-BTighteniDg In Iron
and Steel = Bazk Receipts = The
Bannock-LatestM Mining News

The improved feeling we have recor-
ded during the week as being evident IN
the country, has had its effect upon city
merchants, and in talking with ali
classes of dealers more hopeful tone
is very manifest.
Bradstreet's review of the week says
The most conspicuous feature in the
general trade situation reported this
week to Bradstreet's is pronounced i'm
provement in the iron and steel indus
tries. Pig iron, even at the east, is IN
more general and in firmer demand,
and makers are, as a result. waving
aside all negotiations for deliveries in
1886. Prices for pig iron are unchanged,
although an early advance for best
quality Lehigh irons would not be sur
prising. Stocks are very light. Old rails
are scarce, and the nominal quotations
of SIS and $40 do not buy them. The
feeling in these trades is buoyant, and
considerable confidence is expressed as
to the future. Bar iron is in better de-
mand also. Steel rails, however, have
made the greatest advance thus far.
touching $32 per ton at the east and $35
at Chicago, gain of 81. Orders from
southern railroads have been frequent,
and these with renewal and extension
requests generally, while not as heavy
in the aggregate as some exaggerated
statements recently made concerning
them, have filed up mills for the cur
ret year. The prospect is that 1886 will
prove busy one for the rail mills. An
thracite coal is fully as active as hereto
fore and bituminous somewhat more so.
This argues well tor manufacturing
industries. Strikes in certain lines of
the glass and nail industries continue.
The movement in general merchandise
is no heavier than last week, with the ex-
ception that at Chicago it is reported
that seasonable lines of goods move
briskly, and that with a continuance of
the existing rate of country purchases
another period of noticeable activity is
likely to result. At st. Louis, too, dry
goods are selling actively, and although
the weather has checked trade gene
rally, the volume of trade for eight
weeks past has been of gratifying pro-
portions. Cincinnati also reports a
better business, especially in dry
goods.

be shown, he said, until the erection OF

THE first number of the Household Ii
brary is The Pettibone Name, a New England
story, by Margaret Sidney. ID. Lothrop &
Co., Publishers, Boston, Mass. The plot of
the present tale is laid in an interior town of
New England called Burkhamstead. AS
there is a rural town in Connecticut by that
name, the characters may have some indi-
vidual Urdisenabldnce. They are of a kind
familiar to everyone who has lived in the
New England states. There is the rural
pastor, the reverend deacon, the country
doctor, the village dressmaker and the va
rious well-known unprofessional types. The
love of gossip is exemplified by the sewing
society. The plot is simple, the interest
turning on the self-denial of an old maid
who burns her fathers will, thereby divert
ing the property from herself to her married
brother. She marries the clergyman at last
and her secret is revealed at the wedding
by the dressmaker, who was alone aware OF
it, and who, though born gossip, held il
sacred for years. The tale is cleverly told
