An Internal Machine Found in
Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. GA little after 8 o'clock
this morning quart can of a peculiar con-
struction was found in the front porch of
Judge Lambert Trees residence No. "a Cass
street, by his coachman, who tenderly picked
it, and carried it into vacant lot, and
then started on the run for police station.
An officer was sent back with him, and they
took the mysterious can to the lake shore
and touched match to the dynamite fuse,
which was wound around the can. The ex-
plosion made a terrific noise, which was heard
distinctly at the station, and the earth was
torn up for several feet. When the can was
found, it was standing under the doorway.
The fuse was charred at the end, showing it
had been lighted and gone out. The deadly
contriyance looked like small lamp. An
idea of the force of the explosion may be had
by the way the ground was torn up; to the
depth of six feet. the frozen ground was
scooped out as if it were so much water. An
expert is of the opinion the explosive was
nitro gycerine, and declared that enough Of

Beecher and Talmage won their reputt-
ton years ago. Their tide is at the full. He
whose portrait is seen above, however, IS
yet young for a distinguished man-not
much past 40 He only rose into public mo-
tice few years ago, not more than hye at
furthest. But if being talked about makes q
man famous, Heber Newton is in q fair way
to go to the top Of the ladder. Not that he
cares to be talked about. He is in private a
modest man, who has set about the work to
which he believes himself called, apparently
without thought beyond. He is a cul-
tured, scholarly man, trained in the tenets
of the Protestant Episcopal faith, and is
pastor Of All Souls church, in New York
city. This is the memorial church built by
the late Professor Charles Anthem.
Some time after taking charge of this
pastorate the sermons of Heber Newton be-
gan to attract attention from the public.
They were earnest and powerful to an un-
common degree That was not all There
are not wont to be come-outers from the
Episcopal church. But the young pas
tor of All Souls church began suddenly to
expound other doctrines that looked like
a departure from the established faith.
Notably, his lectures on the Bible contained
criticisms which few men would have
dared to utter from an orthodox pulpit.
Since then he has seemed both to his
friends and his enemies to be progressing
towards rationalistic religion. 1t seems
natural growth Of mind without any thing
sensational or startling. Mr.. Newton is a
speakerof great force and eloquence. He is
as liberal as Beecher in his theories of
science and religion. There is fiery earnest
ness about him. as if somehow he had
caught gltmpses o. a new faith A. J. B.

he has never had pupil who could equal
him in the work. There is a large scythe

The Sheriff of Marion, Ind, fired
on a mob who attacked the Jail for
the purpose of lynehing prisoner.
One man was killed and several
wounded. That Sheriff knew how
to defend the law. Mob lynchings
are outrages against law and Older,
and should be suppressed by the
law. There are too many public Of
ticers who fail to carry out their
sworn duty, and relying on popular
frenzy and excitement, allow mob
violence to take its course. The
Sheriff has the law on his side and
its defence under all circumstances
is justified, and will be sustained by
the sober thought and calm sentiment
ofthe people. Mob revolution now is
threatening the lives and property
ofthe people themselves, and iflynch-
ing is right to redress social griev-
ances, burning and shooting are
right to redress labor grievances.
The only safeguard is the strong
arm of the law upheld and enforced
by pure and conscientious officers and
under good government.
