THREE OF A KIND.

A Trio of Dynamiters Experimenting With
Newly Invented Internal Machine for
Use by Anarchists, Socialists, Nihllists
and Their Kindred Spirits.
HUNTINGTON, PA, March 2.-Three
men, two of their names unknown, but
evidently German and American; the
third Frenchman giving the name of NJ.
Faurnand, who has but recently arrived
from Paris, have for several days been
experimenting in secluded portion of
the Diamond Valley with machinery for
the more certain use of nitro-glycerine
and other highly explosive compounds.
The trio quietly took their departure
westward on yesterday afternoons
train. The American had been here with
a party in December last, who at that
time made several tests of a compound
called nitro petroline, but on this occa-
sion neither he nor the German could be
induced to engage in conversation. The
Frenchman, however, In order to secure
necessary information, was induced to
conhde, though guardedly, in two or
three persons. He claimed to be the in
rentor of the machinery he was
testing, and when perfected,
will receive an immense sum of money
for it from the Nihilists OF Russia, the
Internationalists in Germany and France
and dynamiters in America. The con-
trivance consists of wick saturated
with highly inflammable wax and
coiled concertically on roller. 1t is
uncoiled by spring which in turn is
governed by a clock work gearing.
The part last unwound burns with
"a flash, igniting the explosive with
which it communicates. The time is
controlled by the length of the wick or
fuse, the object now being to regulate its
burning, which had been very nearly ac'
complished, as several very satisfactory
explosions were secured. The American
and the German are agents of the socie'
ties that employ Mr.. Faurnand, and are to
report on the results. They go from
here to Pittsburgh, and from there to
| Cincinnati and Chicago.

Burning of the National Theater at WASH
ington-Lester wallack's Company Lose
Everything-Lotta a $4,000 Stakeholder
in the Burned Building.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February 81
Fire which broke out between one and
two o'clock this morning on street,
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth, the
flames of which were not extinguished
until half past four, is still smouldering.
The site upon which stood one of the
largest theatres in the city is now mass
of ruins. All of the front and side walls
of the National Theatre, which also con-
tanned the famous billiard saloon of Mil
Ter s. Jones, have fallen. The scene at
this hour beggars description. W. w.
Rapelo, owner of the theatre, estimated
its value at 100000, and says the insur-
ance amounts to $4,000. The furni-
ture, scenery and other properties Rapelo
valued at $4,000.
Lolita, the actress, owned $4,000 Of
the theatre stock.
Miller & Jones estimate their loss at
$4,000, part of which is covered by in
surance.
The tailoring establishment and con.
fectionery store underneath the billiard
room were also destroyed, but the losses
do not exceed $500.
Lester Wallack's company were play
ing "Victor Durand" at the National.
Good houses greeted them nightly.
Newton Gotthold says that every hing
he had in the world was in the ruins, in
Guiding the manuscript of his new play,
ga Hayward Woman" which was to
have been produced next season.
All the members of the company lost
their wardrobe, properties and special
scenery. The loss to the company ex-
ceeds $1,000
The origin of the fire is mystery
Matthew Brady, the engineer and watch
man had his sleeping quarters in the Sec
= ond story. When Officer Penney, who
turned in the alarm, returned to the scene
of the fire he discovered Brady at the
window of hic room, and barely saved his
life by placing ladder in position to en-
able him to escape.
The flames caught on the back of ttS
building of the Harris House, but beyond
burning the cornices and window-frames
did but comparatively little damage. The
entire loss by fire will probably not ex
coed 100000. The Jackson House
Brache's French Restaurant and Eek
STEMS saloon, all east of the theate
building, were considerably damaged b,
water.

ing the entire party laugh at him; while
boy said, very impudently: 81 guess
you never went to school very much,
did you, misterP"
Billy went into the hotel without
waiting for reply. Before he had
been there many minutes he discovered
Just how necessary knowledge OF
those same studies he had despised is
to a man, and he began to wish so
strongly that he had remained longer
at school that he awoke. 1t was some
minutes before he could realize that he
was yet boy; but the sound of the
bell brought him to his senses, at the
same time it told him that he might yet
get to school without being marked
tardy, so he set off at full speed.
Now, if Billy had had a longer dream
he would probably have understood in
how many ways each particular branch
of his studies could be useful to him as
man. But there was no real necessity
for it, so far as his reformation was
concerned, for from that time forth he
was one of the most studious of his
class.
If every boy who thinks his time is
wasted in school will but carry Billy's
dream out in detail. imagining every
possible situation, asking himself how
he could get along in any branch of
business without an education, it is safe
to say that he will study quite as hard
as Billy did after the water-sprite sat on
his eye.-JameS OTIS, in Congregation

A SMART DOG.
How He Barked an Alarm of Fire and
Saved the WoOdshed.

SaVeu Jne WOOuSheu'
One day Mary, the cook, went to see
her mother, who was sick. The chill
dren were all at school; so Mrs. White
locked up the house and went upstairs.
She sat down by the front window,
where she could see any one coming in
the gate. About an hour after, she
heard the dog barking. She said;
"What can Dan be barking atP ] am
sure no one has come in the gate.
Some one must have climbed over the
back fence.
So she laid her work down and went
to the back window and looked out;
but could see no one. AS soon as Dan
saw her looking out he stopped bark
ing. He must have been barking at
the cat" she said, and went back to her
work.
Hardly had she begun to sew, when
she heard him bark again.
Now, Dan was good Watchdog,
and always barked when any one came
in the gate. If one of the family, or
one of their friends came in, Dan would
give little bark, as much as to say:
"How-do you-doP" and would jump
around them, and, in his way, show he
knew them. But if tramp came,
he would bark loudly and keep it up
until he had gone out.
Some times he would bark at puss,
when he thought she was taking more
than her share of the dinner; but he
never kept it up very long.
Now, this day, he kept on barking
loudly, just as he did when tramp
came into the garden. So Mrs. White
again laid down her work and this time
went downstairs.
just as soon as Dan saw her down.
stairs he stopped again. Thinking that
some one might have gotten into the
cellar, Mrs. White went down to look;
but she could see no one, and the doors
and windows were safely locked.
Then she went upstairs and began
to work the third time. But again Dan
began to bark, and louder than be-
| fore.
Mrs. White kept on sewing at first;
but the dog made such noise that she
soon saw she would have to quite him.
81 wonder what he wants." she said.
II never knew him to act so before.
Something must be the matter"
SO she went downstairs and opened
the door and called to him. "Dan!
Dan! what's the matter?" He seemed
to understand what she meant, for he
began to bark and run to the corner of
the yard, then back to her again, as
much as to say: Come with me and |
will show you, for | can't talk"
Mrs. White went with him, and she
soon saw what Dan had been trying tc
tell her.
The cook had thrown some ashes in
the corner of the yard, next the wood
shed. Some hot Goals that had been
left in them had set fire to some dry
bushes, which were blazing away, and
the woodShed had just begun TO burn.
Mrs. White ran quickly to the pump
and got pail of water to throw on the
fire. Dan followed her, barking all the
time. After she had put the fire out he
stopped barking.
Mrs. White was so much pleased with
Dan. for being so smart that she gave
him some nice meat.
Now that the fire was out, Dan was
happy, and did not bark again all day.
When Mr.. White and the children
heard how Dan had saved the wood
shed, they called him a smart dog, and
were more fond of him than ever. And
/ think he was a smart dog, don't you?

After the meeting Of last Sunday the presi-
dent oil the Post Obt Literary Circle decided
that a club bath would be conducive to the
physical welfare as well as to the wit
Of the members, and the club accordingly
assembled per order last Wednesday morning,
at the Myrtle Boat Club House, for dip in
the briny. It was six o'clock when President
Cathcart and Secretary Mahoney, in natural
undrcss, accompanied by the 'Tiscr man,
arrayed in beautiful purple and gold bathing
suit, borrowed from the editor OF the great
papier," came upon the platform. Members
Reist, Riddel and Goodc were soon in the
Vastly deep, floating like small islands around
the continent-like bulk of Member Barber,
whose plunge caused the water to rise at the
fish market. President Cathcart and Secre-
tary Mahoney had by this time finished a
discussion over the passage in Romeo and
Juliet, commencing
"Gallop apace ye fiery .footed steeds,''
and leaped to the cooling arms Of Neptunas.
The 'Tiscr man, after anxiously surveying the
party for a moment, nourished his arms above
his head, turned rhetorical summersault and
fell upon his back, Immediately sinking to the
bottom. In the meantime Member Reist play

the leg. The president raised the cty Of
"shark," and in twinkling all the members
were on the platform, save Member Barber,
who, like one Of Roach's gun-boats, was useless
while in water. When the excitement was
over the 'Tiser man was missed. Secretary
Mahoney and Member Riddell Immediately
Owed for him, and after strenuous efforts
brought him to the surface. When the water was
