Hon. w. w. Thomas, Jr., the late Minis
ter to Sweden, was very popular official
being eminently qualified for the position.
He had for years previous to his appoint
ment made study of the country and the
people, and spent much time in the North
ern Kingdom. The following is from q
leading paper of Stockholm: 1t was stat
ed by a contemporary within few days
that Mr.. Thomas would be missed by all,
from the King to the peasant. There is no
exaggeration in these words. II the Amer
ican minister, with his quick witted repair
tees, was gladly seen guest at court and
In the salons of our higher society, equally
welcome was the hunter, with his bright
humor and good heart in the peasants cot
tages in the forests of Smoland and Hal
land. Mr. Thomas did not confine his in
tercourse to the so called world where one
amuses bimself-or is bored. Everywhere
was he known, among members of the
Diet and officials, artists and men OF let
tiers, merchants and artisans, and every
where was he esteemed and beloved in both
official and private life. He has in truth
represe nted his land in manner that has
done honor to America, as well as himself
and with the regrets which are felt by his
hosts of friends in Sweden at his recall are
mingled the most cordial good wishes for
a SUGGEST ii career in his native land

THREE OF A KIND.

A Trio of Dynamiters Experimenting With
Newly Invented Internal Machine for
Use by Anarchists, Socialists, Nihilists
and Their Kindred Spirits.
HUNTINGTON, Pa, March 2.-Three
men, two of their names unknown, but
evid9ltly German and American; the
third Frenchman giving the name of M.
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-glycerlne
and other highly explosive compounds.
The trio quietly took their departure
westward on yesterday afternoons
train. The American had been here with
party in December last, who at that
time made several tests of a compound
alled nitro petrolinc, 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
confde, though guardedly, in two or
three persons. He claimed to be the in
ventor of the machinery he was
testing, and when perfected,
will receive an immense sum of money
for it from the Nihiists OF Russia, the
Internationalists in Germany and France
aud dynamiters in America. The con-
trivance consists of wick saturated
with highly inGammable wax and
coiled concertcally on roller. 1t is
uncoiled by spring which in turn is
governed by clock work gearing.
The part last unwound burns with
fash, 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.
