Blowf ng Up a Liquor Saloon.

AUDUBON, Iowa, March AT
Extra, town ten miles south of
here, an attempt was made last eve
ming to blow up a saloon building.
For years a war has been carried on
there over the liquor question, but
last year the anti Prohibitionists elec-
ted their candidates, and few
weeks ago two saloons were opened
up. At the municipal election last
Monday the license party carried
everything. A few days after one OF
the saloon keepers was arrested, but
afterwards discharged. At midnight
last night terrific explosion star
tied the town. An explosive pack
age wound on rope was placed in
the recess in front of Morris e. He'll
mans saloon, one ofthe best build
ings in the town. Both doors were
blown open,, one crashing through a
partition 20 feet away. A large
hole was blown in the floor, and
nearly every particle of glass in the
building was smashed. More or
less glass was shattered in build
ings 200 feet away. Two men have
been arrested charged with engineer
ing the explosion, though tits gener-
ally believed they we're but the tools
of other and more prominent peo-
pie. While the deed was doubtless
instigated by one or two fauatical
Prohibitionists. The temperance
men generally condemn it in the
strongest terms, and will aid in de-
tecting and furnishing the perDetra-
tors. The people of Extra are fright
ened and excited, aud the attorney
engaged for the prosecution openly
charges that the justice of the peace
is in collusion, with the prisoners,
and will acquit them whatever evil
dence may oe introduced.

A Field OF Oil on Fire.

LEBANON, March ga terrific
scene was witnessed on the farm of
Abraham Kreider at Wrightsville,
six miles from here, to-day An s.
inch pipe which carries oil from the
oil regions to the seaboard passes
through Mr.. Kreider's premises.
During last night the pipe burst and
the oil overhowed the neighboring
fields. The oil was set on fire by
sparks from locomotive, and this
morning when the citizens arose
they beheld terrible conhagration
raging over a large space of ground.
The flow of oil had not been stop
ped and the flames shot upward
over fifty feet.
At one time the oil in the field
was several feet deep in places and
the roaring flames presented mag
Diieent sight, The farmers turned
en- masse and with picks and shovels
threw up An embankment around
the space in which the flames ragged
and many of them had narrow es-
capes from being burned. This
evening the oil was stopped off at
its source of supply after having
burned furiously for nearly 20 hours.
The quantity of oil consumed was
enormous.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part ofthe abdomen, caus-
ing the patient to suppose he has
some affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times,
symptoms of indigestion are present,
as fatulency, uneasiness of the stom-
'ach, ect. A moisture, like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeable
itching, after getting warm, is COM
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the ap-
plication OF DIR. Bosanko's Pile Rem
.edy, which acts directly upon the
parts affected absorbing the Tumors,

aecting a permanent cure. Price so

Before noon yesterday General
Grant was in receipt of several telc-
grams from Washington, congratu-
lating him upon the passage Of the
bill placing him upon the retired
list Of the army. These were fol-
lowed by telegraphic dispatches
from nearly every city in the Union,
and more particularly from the
West.
General Grants family relaxed
the rule, 80 rigidly observed during
the last few days, of denying them
selves to many of their friends, and
during the afternoon there was q
continuous stream of callers, all OF
whom blended their inquiries as to
the health of the General with con-
gratulations on the action of Con-
gress. Not one these callers was
permitted to see the General, except
DR.. Fordyce Barker, who, with DR..
Douglass, made superficial exami-
nation of the throat and were SO
well satisfied with the condition of
their patient that they forebore from
making any protracted diagonsis.
The General said that the action
of Congress was very gratifying to
him, for though he might not live
long to enjoy the bounty of the ma
ton, vet the vote was an indication
of confidence in him and re-
membrance that through the re-
mainder of his days would be very
cheering to him.

Twelve Thousand Coal Miners ON .
Strike.

PrrrsBuRG, Pa, March Twelve
thousand railroad and river coal
mineso will, in all probability, short
rly be strike. Forty'-two dele
fates, representing all the river min
ers, met in convention ct Monon-
eahela City this afternoon, and the
proposition to strike was reosived
with enthusiasm and carried almost
unanimously. A delegate who
alone opposed the strike movement
offered resolution that no further
action should be taken on the price
in question until time had beer, Civ
en- for the operators to consider the
demand. This was immedia tely
tabled. Then another motion was
sprung to the effect that commit
tee of five be appointed to visit the
pools, and notify the men at each
pit that if three cents per bushel
should not be demanded by all on
or before Wednesday next, the
strike should be declared of. This
measure was also sat down upon.
One delegate said: "Now is the
time to demand an advance and re-
gain the ground we lost last Sum-
mer. The river is open; many emp
ty boats are waiting to be loaded,
and the operators must necessarily
grant the price. Come out now for
fair living prices, or work all Sum-
mer at the present low rate"
This speech was received with
applause, as were numerous others
of the same nature, and it seemed
that nearly all voices in the conven-
ton were for war. The following
was then presented and carried
without dissenting vote:
RESOLVED, that we demand three
cents per bushel on Monday, March
9, at 6 o'clock A. NJ, and that a
committee of five be appointed to
assist in making the strike a sue
cess.
Mature seems to have been on
the side of the operators, said one
delegate. "The absence of rise in
the river defeated our strike last
Summer. Things cannot get much
worse than they now are. We see
a great deal in the public press about
Socialism, but I tell you if the min
ers are brought much lower they
will all become Socialists"
The railroad miners in convention
ON Wednesday last also resolved to
s,o out on Monday. They object to
arbitration, which has reduced their
wages half cent bushel. To-
gether both organizations number
1900 men, and, unless the employ
ers make unexpected concessions,
Monday will see the beginning of a
struggle between capital and labor
which will throw the Hooking Val
ley strike into the shade. and whose
outcome no man can predict.

The Inaugural address of Presi-
dent Cleveland is well written, SIM
pie in diction, conservative in tone,
chary in promises and in no way
remarkable. Much the greater por-
ton of it is devoted to such conven-
tional commonplaces and illusions
to the Constitution and government
as are usually found in Democratic
platforms. In the closing para
graphs, however, will be found clear
enunciation of opinion on certain
matters of National policy, which,
if adhered to in the same candid
spirit in which they appear to have
been written, will win for their au-
thor the appreciation of the public.
His declarations in favor of the
preservation of the public domain
for actual settlers; for the fair and
honest treatment of the Indians as
wards of the government, with a
view to their ultimate citizenship;
for the prohibiting of immigration
of servile classes to compete with
American labor; for the repression
of polygamy in the territories; for
the conduct of public affairs on bus
iness principles and for the enforce
ment of the law regulating civil
service, for the preservation of the
rights of the freedmen under the
constitution, are all well put and
cover the principal points of the
policy indicated. On the tariff ques-
ton we are treated to the usual plat
itudes with which the country has
been made familiar by the utter
ance of Democratic conventions for
the past quarter of century, and
on this vital question we are left, as
usual to grope in the dark.
Comparing the policy enunciated
in this address with the policy es-
tablished by Republican legislation,
there will be found uothing to Gre
ate apprehension, and nothing of
consequence to complain Of The
crucial test will come when these
declarations are supplemented by
action. We take the President at
his word, and give him credit for
good intentions until the acts of his
administration shall speak for them
selves.

On Wednesday last the Republi-
can party marched out with all the
honors of war, and the Democrats
are now safely entrenched in the
government Notifications, which the
former had held securely for the
period of twenty-four years. The
evacuation and possession were ac-
complished peaceably and court
eously, and the victors are now in
full possession. No tumult, nor
friction, nor shocks accompanied
the transfer, and to the masses the
world wags on as usual. Here is
exhibited the perfect working of a
government of the people, by the
people and for the people. The fu-
ture advancement and prosperity of
the country are committed to Demo-
cratic guidance, and all patriotic
citizens will wish for our new Pres
ident a prosperous administration.
For twenty-four years the Democrat
ic party has acted merely as OBJ
structionists, but never ceased pro-
claiming during all that time, what
they could and would do when
they came into power. Their op-
portunity is now at hand, and the
world turns upon them an anxious
and curious gaze. Now they must
take the initiative, now responsible
ity rests upon their shoulders. Wait
and watch!
The Republican party, which goes
out Of power only temporarily, we
trust, leaves behind it a record, un-
paralleled for great deeds by any
political orge enization that ever
welded power in this or any other
Nation. To quote from a con:em-
porary:
at put down a rebellion which
had nearly a million men in
arms. 1t transformed nearly 4,000,-
600 human beings from the likeness
of things to the rank of citizens, and
reconstructed the Union, with lib.
erty instead of slavery as its corner
stone. 1t took from Congress the
infamous work of bounding fugi.
tive slaves and charged it to see that
there shall be no slavery. 1t
has lifted the credit of the Nation
from the point where six per cent
bonds sold at Sc to where four per
cent bonds are eagerly sought at
a premium. II has given us a cur
rency absolutely good and equal in
every part of our country. 1t has
paid s1,100,O00,O00 of the public
debt, and by refundiug the balance
at a lower rate has reduced the an
nual interest charge from nearly
s151, 100000 to about s50,OO0,000."
If'the Democratic party contin-
ues this good work it will do
well, if it can improve on it, it will
earn unstinted laudation, and we be-
speak for it fair field for its labors.
Let us take it at its word, give it
credit for good intentions, and await
developments.

CHICAGO, March S.-The services
of the Salvation Army were inter-

one from the outside threw a stone
through one of the widows. Then
a number of rough characters in
the rear of the hall drowned the
hymns with ribald songs. Finally
a hand-to hand conflict between
them and the officers Of the army
took place, in which the latter got
much the worst Of it, being borne
down bv superior numbers. No
serious wounds were inflicted, but
the services were broken up. One
man was arrested.
