LONDON, Jan. 81. Goodman, the alleged
dynamiter, was discharged to-day.
Dispatches from Derby sta4e that man
was arrested at the Central Station Of the
Midland Railway in that city to-day with
dynamite in his possession. He has been
held on charge Of conspiracy.
The man was taken before magistrate
this morning. He gave bis name as New
old He declined to give his history for
the past month, and at the request Of the
police, who claimed to be on the trssck Of
strong discriminating evidence against tie
prisoner, he was remanded.
During the examination Of NewboId this
morning evidence was produced against
him in the shape of letters received from
the south of England, threatening to blow
up the Town Hall in Derby. The prisoner
admitted that the handwriting en- the en-.
yelopes containing these letters were his.
These letters were then read. They de-
scribed plot for the destruction by dyna-
mite of the Town Hall and bank IN an
adjoining county.
NewboId. when asked to explain away
this evidence, said he could not, although
he insisted that he was innocent of any
wrong. He said he had replied to several
advertisements at about the times of the
dates upon the envelopes, and said the en-
velopes he had used in these replies must
have fallen into bad hands and IN again
used, and in this way come in the pos
session of the police. The prisoner is
about tWenty-nine years of age, and gave
his name as Philip Newbold. The charge
against him is conspiracy to cause expio-
sions." The Chief Constable, when he
asked the magistrate to remand the pris-
oner, declared the detectives possessed, in
an incomplete state, other evidence against
Newbold of more serious and circumstan-
stial chacacter than that already pro-
duced.
Newbold's remand was until February
Later developments in the NewboId case
at Derby are exciting much attention and
constantly grow more serious It is stated
that the police have discovered among the
prisoners papers documents which reveal
a dynamite plot of considerable msgnt-
tude.

THE R.4ILRoAD CRASH.


The wreck of Fridays smash-up on the
Philadelphia and Reading Road, at Green
vile, had been all cleared away yesterday
morning. The tracks had been relaid
The debris of the wrecked coal cars had
been burned. The remnantsof the broken
passenger coaches had been run to the
railroad shops for such use as can be made
Of them, and the way was clear for the
regular running of the trains, though the
coal slung from the cars still lay scattered
about the road-bed. Information received
from Philadelphia yesterday represents
that Mr.. Charles II. Pray, the most dan
gerously injured of all the passengers, is.
expected to recover. The flesh was cut
off his forehead so that the bone was laid
bare, and his nose, with both cheek bones,
had been crushed in. Baggagemaster
Kirk, who seemed to be only slightly in
jured, is confined to his home in Elizabeth
suffering internal hurts, from which SER
ioas results may follow. The engineer,
Airtem, is Frustrated by the shock, and is
now lying at the City Hospital under
treatment. The escape of some of the
other passengers were miraculous. One
of them, while climbing out through q
window, was hurled by the momentum,
when the car stopped, clean across the
coal cars and sat him down in ditch.
'sFor Gods sakelH shouted another,
who was pinned between two seats in one
of the wrecked cars. telegraph my wife
that I'm deadl"
When he had been released, his upper
most thought was about the safety Of his
umbrella.
Theories multiply as to the cause of the
accident. It was first assumed to have
been due to a broken wheel, and then to
the hanging brake rcd. The employees
who cleared away the wreck claim, how
ever, to have discovered broken axle. It
is supposed to have been frostbitten but
to have kept in its place somehow till the
frog in the switch near the station was
reached, and the catastrophe followed.
The railroad officials are mighty reticent
abou. the whole business.

TWO OSTRICH FEATHERS.
The Emotional Trial OF an Elizabeth
Gill for Stealing Them.

Gill for Stealing Them.
ELIZABETH, N. j., Jan. 31.-Miss Hattie
Hines was indicted by the last Grand Jury
for the larceny of two ostrich feathers
from the hat of another young lady while
attending a dancing school in Elizabeth.
The young lady who lost the feathers and
another lady friend searched Hattie, and
testified that the feathers fell from her
garments, while Hattie insisted that it was
a conspiracy induced by jealousy. and that
the young ladies while searching her sud-
denly came from behind her with the
feathers, that they were not found ON her
person, and that she did not take them.
The testimony closed on Friday afternoon,
when the court adjourned for the week,
the jury requesting that thsy be not sent
out SO near evening, and hence the sum-
ming up took place on Monday morning.
Gen. Fay was counsel for the accused, and
she was very intelligent and PROPOSES
sing appearing young lady. 1t came out
In the examination that her father, who
was veteran of the Sd Regiment, N. J. ".
was very i'll, and his death occurred early
Saturday morning. She was not at the bar
when Gen. Fay commenced his argument,
but soon appeared dressed in deep black
In closing his argument Gen. Fay made an
eloquent and sympathetic appeal to the
jurors, and directed their attention to the
death-bed scene. He said that when Miss
Hines reached home on Friday her dying
father asked if she came acquitted. She
replied no, but she thought she had proven
her innocence. Her father did not live to
know what verdict was arrived at, but,
said the general, his spirit is doubtless
lowering over this temple of justice, and
awaiting the words of the jurors to the sor
row stricken daughter: go forth, you are
Innocent The words brought tears to
many eyes, and after few words from the
Prosecutor, in which he urged the jurors
not to have their sympathies played on,
the case was given to them. Judge Nc
Cormick gave brief charge and the jury
retired. In & few moments they returned,
and there was death-like stiffness III the
court room when the foreman announced
that the young woman was not guilty.
Then there was hearty applause, which was
quickly checked and rebuked by Judge
Mccormick.

CHICAGO, January 31.-The Daily Nssue
Springfield correspondent says that the
Republicans in the State Senate have or
ganized scheme to cut off the Democrats
from any benefit that might accrue to them
from gaining two members in the House as
result of throwing out Parker and Sittig,
who were elected as Republicans, but who
are liable to be unseated by contests. The
plan is to use the Republican majority in
the Senate to prevent joint session of the
two houses and the,eby prevent the elee-
ton of United States Senator. AS tho
success of this programme could place tho
appointment of a United Senator in the
hands of Governor Oglesby, it is thought
that General Logan's friends look on the
plan with vor.

Scene in the pawnbroker's shop to the

speaking of Annie Ward Tiffany, says:
'srhe popular feature of the cast was An

very fat part, and the excellent actress
who has it in keeping knows to a nicely

seriousness that her audience are always

rounding out of this character, though the
author has by no means been neglectful OF
his own responsibility. The cast is gener-

A queer Complaint at the Aims House

DR.. Converse, the County Physician,
said yesterday, as to the alleged prevalence
of impetigo at the County Aims House,
that it is only skin humor eventuating in
pustules, that run its course in week,
and is attended BY no danger. It had
been very prevalent among the almshouse
inmates. There are only eight cases of it
there now. It is sort of an itch, due
probably to uncleanly personal habits.
