Stringent Rules Against Dynamite.

LONDON, February l3.-The recent
dynamite explosion in the House of
Commons having demonstrated the fact
that under the existing rules governing
the admission of strangers to the gale.
ries and lobbies of the House of Parlia-
ment, it would be an easy matter for
dynamiters to convey explosives into the
buildings during the session of Parlia.
ment aud cause the death of many OF its
members, the Government has decided
to adopt more stringent rules regulating
the admission of visitors. Members OF
Parliament in future will not be allowed
to introduce strangers into the galleries
and lobbies. The Speaker of the House
of Commons will alone have the right of
granting tickets OF admission to visitors,
and be will only issue tickets to members
for their friends after having received
weeks notice, so that in the meantime
the antecedents of the proposed visitor
can be inquired into. Turnstiles will be
erected at the entrances to the galleries
and lobbies and experienced detectives
will be posted at each Of the turnstiles to
carefully scrutinize strangers as they
pass. In all cases, visitors who are
accorded permission to enter the House
of Commons will be required to register
their names and addresses, and will be
furnished with numbered tickets, which
will be charged up against their respec.
tive signatures. The lobby of the House
of Commons will be strictly reserved for
the use of peers, members, officials and
persons specially authorized by the
Speaker.

SeIfti0n In London.

LONDON, February. 16.-Great excite.
ment was occasioned here to-day by the
riotous conduct of large number of
unemployed workmen. Three thousand
of them paraded the streets with banners
bearing notices suggestive Of their
grievances. Several bands of music &C.
companied the procession, which marched
to the building occupied by the local
government board. "A committee from
the ranks entered the Office and dsman-
ded relief for the people they represent
ed. They wanted immediate employ.
ment on the construction of municipal
works, which they said were needed for
the public good.
The officials of the board repulsed the
committee and the crowd became howl.
ing mob. The police attempted to inter
fere, but were soon overpowered. The
paraders then invaded Downing street
and stopped in front of the official resi-.
dence of Gladstone. They howled and
hissed invectives against the Govern
meut. The Cabinet council was being
held at the time and the mob attempted
to force their way into the room where
the council was sitting. The police at
this point received reinforcements and
elected the intruders.
The mob then attempted to storm the
admiralty and home Office but were
driven off and finally dispersed by the
police.

Antics of q Mailman.

Yesterday young white man entered
|. Wells clothing store, and without the
apparent intention of making purchase
took seat by the stove. Soon afterward
q negro man from the country entered
and began parlying with one of the
salesmen for the purchase of silk
handkerchief. The trade WAS listened To
for time by the apparently inoffensive
young white man. He suddenly became
restless, and with club in his hand
approached the negro, rather curiously,
but playfully brandishing tho club. To
his approaches the negro made no resist.
ance, little dreaming what was to come.
With twist of his arm the young man
brought the colored man powerful blow
on the head with the club, staggering
him and drawing a free flow of blood.
The negro exhibited much bewilderment,
and with look of utter astonishment
left the store, saying be did not come for
fuss. The continued wild behavior of
the young man convinced all present
that be was laboring under an alteration
of mind, aud o policeman was called.
Officer Carter took charge of him and
conveyed him to the station house. He
was. soon afterward identified as Evans
B. Freeman Of Pickens County. Mr..
John Ferguson, who knew him, made
arrangements for sending bim home, and
he was sent to his people yesterday

shown signs of violent disposition. He

Buffers Opinion of Cleveland.

Senator M. c. Butler said: II have
no hesitation in saying to yon that I said
to Mr.. Cleveland that I did not want 10
have him recognize the South as the
South, but rather as Democrats. In
other words, there should be no question
of section. All that l wanted was sim.
ply fair treatment, and no discrimination
against an important part of the Demo
cratic party" Senator Butler said that
Mr.. Cleveland's pictures gave an incor-
rect and unjust idea of him. The pic:
lures make him appear heavy. BE found
him, on tho contrary, very alert, cool and
with perfect mastery of himself. He
liked his simple, business.like manners
and the neatness and simplicity of his
general appearance. He believes that he
will be President who will be q credit
to his party and his country. He de.
clined TO state whether he had personal
preference in the make up Of the Cabi-
net. but it is we'll understood about the
Senate that during his visit to Mr.. Cleve-
land he warmly eulogized the character
of his friend, Senator Pendleton. This
gentleman is now considered off from all

Young Malone Again.

There was an interesting scene at the
National Theatre, last Friday night,
which in q small way rivals the recent
scandalous outbreak at Castle Stewart
The Mestayer Company was plying an
engagement there. Miss Marie Bokel, 8
member of the company, attracted the
favorable. attention, of q young man, the
son of a Senator. This youngster, with
a party of .mall-fry swells, generally
make the uptown hotels the meeting
places to devise new designations of a
character suited to their feeble intellects.
This night, however, he and one Of his
friends were unusually bold. After the
curtain fell in the LAST act they climbed
upon the stage, pushed their way behind
the curtain, and stumbled about until
they found themselves in Miss .Bokel's
dressing room. She screamed for help.
Her husband and one or two members
of the company appeared, and, after
spanking the two young men soundly,
took them by the ears and led them out
into the alley.

The Membership Of the Senate.

Some idea of the permanency of the
membership of the Senate may be formed
by the fact that while twenty six Senate.
rial elections were held to I'll terms be.
ginning the 4th of March, only eight
new members were chosen, 80 that of the
seventy.six members OF the next Senate
sixty.si1 at least will be old members,
the election in Illinois and Oregon not
having taken place.
The new members will be Mr. Spooner,
of Wisconsin Hanford, of California;
Wilson, of Maryland; Eustis, of Louis
lana; Evarts, of New York; Payne, Of
Ohio; Jones, of Arkansas, and Black.
burn. of Kentucky. Mr. Chace, of
Rhode Island, is already member Of
the Senate, and Mr.. Teller, of Colorado,
MIR. Hill's successor, returns 10 the seat
vacated three years ago TO become
member of President Arthur's Cabinet.
The election Of Republican from ILL.
nois and Oregon will give the Republi.
cans forty-two members, including Sena.
tors Malone and Riddleberger, and the
Democrats thirty four.

The Abberllle Murder.

The trial of John G. Furguson for the
killing of Arthur Benedict has ended in
q mistrial, and must be had again. In
what We are about to say we desire it
understood that our utterances have no
reference to the future of this case. We
would upon no account prejudice his
cause. But in connection with the trial
just closed, there are some grave and Sc
rious matters which ne cannot, as honest
journalists, allow to pass in silence.
Rumors touching the integrity of the
proceedings are rife within this commu-
nifty. Over-zealous friends of the ac.
cused, it is said, have used undue inAu-
ences upon jurors. Indeed, the compo-
sition of the panel has been the, source
of much whispered insinuatiop. We
desire to say that what we now say has
no reference to the counsel of the &C.
cused man.
1t is not our purpose to regale the pub.
lie with the thousand and one rumors
filling the air in regard to this matter.
Our aim is simply TO say to those who,
in their misguided zeal for friend, have,
if what is said is true, laid themselves
liable to punishment by the law; that
the tone and temper of this county will
not tolerate any act that has the appear
ance of tampering with the administra.
ton of the law. If We know this people
they want to give to every man full,
fair and impartial trial. But their sense
of honor, their love of fairness, their
respect for law, all demand that the per.
feet purity of the trial By jury shall be
maintained inviolate. Moreover, their
pride in the good name of their county
rises to protest against everything that
has the semblance of an attempt to pros.
titute our courts of Justice. There is no
language too strong in which to condemn
the actions of those who are affected by
these reports, if they be true. Upon
every street corner it is asserted that no
effort was left unused to get upon the
panel men known to be friendly to the
defendant. That unlawful commuuica-
ton was attempted 10 be had with the
Jury, and that before the trial jurors were
approached with reference to this trial.
Now, We say again, if all this or any
part of it be true, it is a disgrace to our
people and our county, and an expert.
ment which he who attempts hereafter
will find to be exceedingly dangerous /;
and we say this with no reference to this
case. But we lay it down as a rule,
which the honorable people of this coun.
ty will demand shall be vigorously en-.
forced; The safety of law-abiding citi.
zens-of those who observe the law, and
depend upon it for protection, lies in its
strict enforcement. We cannot afford,
therefore, to be silent when dangerous
inroads are made upon this citadel of
our rights. We trust that We shall not
again have occasion to write a warning
like this.-AbbeviNc Messenger.

A Philadelphia Horro".

PHILADELPHIA, February 13.-The
fire last night at the almshouse entirely
destroyed that portion set apart for the
insane. Of 6S4 lunatics confined there
many are missing, but it is thought most
of them wandered away.
At 9 o'clock this morning two more
charred bodies were found in ward No. 2.
They we're roasted beyond all recognition.
Several human forms can be seen in the
burning wreck in the cellar. It is now
thought that twenty. eight of the inmates
perished. That number of violent pa
tients were locked in cells on the third
floor and could not be reached. Eight
have been taken out dead, and the 9th
ers are not accounted for. There seems
no doubt that they are lost among the
ruins.
During the night many insane persons
were found wandering in different parts
Of the city, some nearly naked. The
poor creatures generally seemed unable
to understand the situation, and in some
cases begged piteously not to be. thrown
into the river. Others seemed to take it
as grand joke, and laughed gleefully
when the subject of the fire was men.
toned. A lunatic came down South
street early this morning with manacle
attached to his wrist and a few links Of
chain dangling from it. He shrieked
and laughed as he struck right and left
among the frightened people. 1t was
found necessary to use violence, and
knock him down before he could be Sc.
cured. Another madman caused panic
in street car by rushing in half clad
and with his face scorched and black
ened. He sank covering in q corner,
aud it was soon found that he was more
frightened than those who had run away.
Reports that the streets were full of
maniacs cause much alarm in West Phil
adelphia, and strangers look upon each
other with much distrust.
The fremen are still at work on the
ruins. They are weary and half frozen,
each mans helmet and coat appearing as
hard as armor, but their search for the
bodies is continued steadily. There ap.
pears to have been a great deal OF un.'
necessary trouble caused by rotten hose
and scarcity in the water supply. To
remedy the latter failing, dozen brawny
6remen chopped hole in the thick ice
on the Schuylkill river, but when the
hose was introduced, mud aud grinding
bits of ice split the leather and the at.
tempt was failure.
The confusion about the ruins, the
craftiness of the insane people in secret
ing themselves, the promiscnous manner
in which they are being cared for, and
the utter weariness of all those who have
had them in charge, prevent an accurate
estimate being made of the loss of life
and property.
PHILADELPHIA. February l3-Night.
Eleven bodies we're found to day in the
ruins of the burned insane asylum at the
Blockley almshouse. These were re
moved to the dead. house and placed side
by side with the bodies of seven who
were sufocated and removed from the
building last night. The burned bodies
were horribly disfgured, some of them
being burned to a crisp. After days
thorough search the almshouse authori.
ties are convinced that these eighteen
burned and sufocated maniacs were all
that perished.

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

The towns along the line of the Caro-
lima, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Road
are aroused to the necessity vf building
their road by local subscriptions, and are
pledging themselves to subscribe their
proportion of the funds necessary to
build the road if Charleston will sub
scribe hers. This looks like Charleston
is to be given another opportunity to se-

The Snow Blockade.

CHICAGO, February 14.-The Western
roads are again bringing in large amounts
of freight bound for the East, but the
Eastern roads are not yet ready to handle
much dead freight, and at present they
are shipping principally live stock,
dressed beef and other perishable freight
that has been detained on account of the
SNOW blockadss. 1t will be several days
before the Eastern roads will be able to
handle much dead freight coming here
by the Western lines, as considerable
freight has accumulated at the yards and
on the side tracks of the various roads,
which will first have to be disposed of.
This condition of affairs is serious
matter for the Western lines, as they will
be prevented from doing much throug b
business for nearly week yet, and this
detention of business adds greatly to the
losses they suffered during this week on
account of the snow blockade.

= Some years ago one Of the ianciest
of electricians was an indicator which
should show the position of trains on a
section of railway track and enable the
train agent to know exactly the condi-
tion of the road. This fancy has now
been realized, it is said, by German in.
ventor. Little arrows representing trains
move along a miniature representation
of the road in exact correspondence
with the movements of the trains them.
selves. If necessary, the agent can
signal direct to the locomotive engineers
through the electrical conductors used
to produce these movements. If the ap'
paratus can be made reliable it promises
to lessen the danger of accidents by CO.
li,ion. No explanation is given of the
particular means employed to operate
the Indicator, but there is no reason to
doubt the possibility of doing what is
claimed.
