TO BLOW UP HIS SWEETHEART.
Diabolical Plans of a Chicago Dynamiter
Ills Arrest and Confession.
CHICAGO, April %,

CHICAGO, April 90.
Otto Funk, who was suspected of complic-
ity in the preparations to blow up the obser-
vatory at Chicago University, was arrested
last night. He confessed he was engaged in
preparing means of blowing up his sweet
heart, Miss Jennie Gibson, with dynamite as
she approached the University along the path
she always took when going TO the class
Funk's revelations led to a further examina-
tion of the grounds. In the path leading TO
the University building were found two death
traps carefully concealed beneath the surface,
and leading from it toward the observatory
about forty feet of trench covered and care
fully cemented TO prevent its giving out a
hollow sound in the event of persons walk
ing over 1t. Funk explained that this trench
was to have been extended to the observatory
240 feet distant, where pit was already dug.
The trench was to contain wire running
from the Fit to the Internal machines in the
death traps" When all was prepared it was
his plan to secrete himself in the pit, watch
for the coming of his sweetheart and just as
she passed over the death traps to pull the
wire and explode the machines.

bulletin published this afternoon con-
tains the following particulars of the death OF
President Barrios of Guatemala, obtained
from l.. b. Parrote, AGuatemslsn consul in
this city, who returned here this morning
from Guatemala:
The engagement in which Barrios was
Killed was between a battalion of the Guate-
malan troops and much larger body of San
Saivadorans. At A. NJ, Barrios gave an
order to attack, but at 10 no advance move
ment had been made. as the troops were
under the command of an unpopular colonel
and refused to obey him. Bsrros was in his
tent with two of his officers when this inform
alton was brought to him. On the refusal of
both these officers to assume command, he
left the tent, and it was while he was pro.
ceeding to the front of the column that he
was shot by a sharpshooter from tree. The
bullet entered the right shoulder and passed
through his heart and left side.
Meanwhile the battle had commenced and
in short time both sides withdrew from the
field, but not until determined and unsuc-
cessful effort had been made by the Guate-
malans to recover Barrios' body.

The jury in their verdict, in the building
disaster case, say they believe Charles A.
Buddensilk is the owner of the fallen build
iugs, or if not, was the controlling spirit in
their erection, and his defiance of the law
merits the severest punishment that could be
inflicted. The jury believe Buddensilk, his
assistant Franck. and building examiners
Daley and Mackay, were responsible for
Walters death. They say they find culpable
negligence and looseness of discipline in the
building department, in retaining in office in
competent men. The coroner made out the
commitments and placed them in the hands
of the police for the arrest of the parties
named iu the verdict. and they will be sent
to prison without bail Franck was TODAY
released by the district attorney, on $4,000
bail.
