The Dynamiters.

The breach between the anarchists snl
socialists in Baltimore, was considerably
widened yesterday afternoon by a scene thai
occurred during meeting at Turn Halle
very large audience was attracted By the
announcement that Herr Most, the apostle
Of the anarchists, would deliver au address
He came from New York for that purpose
and on being introduced, stated that his
conduct during 4 recent disturbance at Con-
cordia Hail. New York, had been falsely re-.
ported that he was not struck, nor did he
hide behind the cnrtaius. He eulogized
Reinsdorf and justified murder and the use
of dynamite, and spoke Of the Knights OF
the Black Hand as great and glorious he
roes. At this point August ZHeiber, So
cialist speaker, arose aud called Most 10
account for his indlmmatorv remarks,
saying You are pretty fellow to talk so,
you coward ~ A scene Of wild confusion
ensued. Both men gesticulated wildly
and the crowd, which was about equally
composed of anarchists aud socialists, rose
and prepared to join in the row, but the
two men were gotten apart, before any
blows were struck. Herr Most said to re-
porter, after quiet was restored, that Zwic-
bier was sent from New York for the pur-
pose of creating disturbance, but Zwieber
says he ouly came as u listener and was
aroused by the extreme language of Most,
which he thought in bad taste, especially
from man who had publicly shown him.
self to be coward.
The dynamite section of the socialists
held meeting yesterday in Chicago when
number of highly LEGENDARY speeches in
English and German were delivered by A.
K. Parsons, bis wife, George Milsinger, and
August Fehling. Mrs. Parsons, who is
negress, made an unusually fiery speech
She began by berating her hearers as COW
ards and unworthy the pame of manhood be-
cause they allowed the aggressions of capt.
tai to continue; allowed their daughters to
barter their virtue for bread Ii they were
men, as they claimed to be, she said they
would blow up every house on the adioiu-
ing avenues before they would submit to it;
would demolish the police stations, court
house and jails, and fling dynamite iD the
faces of the army and navy. If they were
afraid to do this, however, they need not
look for a captain, for she would fill her
apron with dynamite and lead them along
the avenues of the city where the rich re-
side, destroying as they went. Her hus-
band advised his hearers to study chemistry
and take lessons from those expert in the
manufacture of deadly explosives.

The sundry civil BILL reported in the
House TO day, leaves but one more yet in
the hands OF the Appropriations Committee,
the fertilization bill, and that is practically
agresd upon, as the majority of the COM
mittee is opposed, and properly, to the
scheme for improving all The harbor de
fences, which would involve au immense
expenditure, aud that, too, when the best
place for such defences is by no means de-
termmsd Among The items in the sundry
civil bill are the following: For the COM
tletoo Of the public building at Lynch
burg. $25 600; for light ship at Winter
Quarter Shoal, Virginia, $50, 600; for light
house at Burkss Buff. Virginia. 10000 !;
for the Yorktown Monument, IS 900 of the
unexpended haiauce, and for the New Or
leans Exposition $500, 900, 10 addition TO the
amount previously appropriated.
From the action of the republicans 10 the
House 10 day in assisting the River and
Harbor men in their effort to get up their
bill in preference to an appropriation bill, it
is evident that they will do nothing to pre-.
vent an extra session. The silver men also
say they will get help from the republicans
IN forcing an extra session, if necessary, to
prevent lhe suspension of the coinage of
silver dollars. But, for all this, Mr.. Randall
says all the appropriation bills will be pass
ed In due time, that there will be no need
for an extra session, aud that there will not
be one.
The House to-day passed the Senate bill
approprating 500 900 to enlarpe and i'm
prove the GOVERNMENT building at Rich
mond, Virginia. The House also passed the
Senate bills f.rfei,ing the unearned lands
of the Texas Pacific Railroad, and prohib
ing the importation of contract labor. Mr..
Barbour tried to induce the House TO pro-
coed to the regular order, the consideration
of the District of Columbia business, stating
that Of the entire session the District had
been allowed only two days, that some of
the District business was really pressing,

A WIFE's CRIME.-Paris papers publish
the following sensational drama, which,
they allege, has just occurred there in the
family of wealthy, well.knowu Americans.
The married couple lived happily together
for several years, but last week the hus-
band discovered that his wife was guilty of
candestine relations with his gardener.
Ten days later be found in one of his wife's
dresses love letter from the gardener.
The husband said nothing. III silence he
awaited the moment for terrible revenge.
Last night as the husband and wife were
going to bed the wife placed, according to
her usual custom, two glasses of sugar and
water-one for herself and one for her bus
band-on the dressing table near the bed
the wife, as she had always done, putting
the sugar 10 the water. The husband watch
ed the operation, betraying no unusual ex-
preston.
just as his wife was about to drink her
husband asked her to hand him a silk
handkerchief that was hanging on the back
of tho chair. As his wife turned to take
the handkerchief her husband quickly re-
versed the tray upon which were placed
the two glasses, So that the one intended
for him stood in the place of that intended
for his wife. The husband and wife then
drank ut the same moment
AS the husband, after emptying bis glass,
calmly replaced it on the dressing table,
his wife fell to the floor shrieking in agony.
She had swallowed the dose Of strychnine
that she had, with her own hands, prepared
for her husband. The affair causes great
sensation. The wife is not dead yet, but
is suffering terribly. An official inquiry is
being instituted, and the husband and
gardener are arrested.
The above story is denied by the Paris
police

hands with Gen. Lee. The Federal com.
mander was in undress uniform and with.
out sidearms, while Gen. lee was in full
uniform. Gen. Grant, byway Of apology
to Gen. Lee for coming without bis side
arms, said that his sword was with his bag

the place for the conference he had
hastened on in undress uniform. This
was the only allusion TO d sword that was
made in the interview. After the terms
OF surrender were settled, Gen. Grant ex-
planned that he was advised that Gen.
Lees forces had q number, Of Federal
prisoners, who, like their captors, were
out Of ratioas. Gen, Sheridan replied
that he could supply q, 600 radons: Gen.
Grant then instructed him to send 25,000
