DAMAGE TO THE TOWER AND BUILDINGS.

ONERs RELEASED,
LONDON, Jan. 2i-About sixty visitors were in
the Tower at the time Of the explosion The explo-
sive agent was deposited I'm what is known as
the banquetting hall Of the White Tower. This
hall is now used as an armory and In il were stored
q large number of Martini rifles which were des-
tined to be shortly issued to the volunteers.
1t was behind rack OF these that
the deadly compound was placed. Tho
dynamite played its maddest freaks with the
rifles. Many of them were twisted into the most
eccentric shapes imaginable, and their distorted
forms were scattered about the apartment in
q marvel of confusion. All the glass
and other fragile articles in tho hall
were smashed. A large hole was crushed
through the floor at the spot where the dynamite
lay. Directly overhead similar hole was blown
through the roof. The woodwork was SGT on fire
by the explosion, but before any serious damage
had been done the flames were extifguished.
All the persons who were arrested In the after
noon were released this evening, there being no
facts against them sufficient to warrant keeping
them In custody. The police arc completely non.
plussed. They arc incapable Of even forming the.

FLOWER AND ASTOR.

How the Gossips Explain the Formers Re-
fusal to Run for Lieutenant Governor.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Oct 3.-One of the explanations
of Roswell P. Flowers refusal to run for the
lieutenant governship of this State is that
William Waldorf Astor would have spent money
layishly to defeat him. Such is the assertion
current among the throngs of politicians sur
rounding the rival candidates for Governor
during their stays in this city. Young Astor
was nominee for Congress four years ago in
what's known as the Millionaire district The ecan-
vass is memorable. Astor made personal appeals
from residence to residence, though the district
includes large section of tenement houses as
well as the mansions of Fifth avenue; and he
spent $40 to $50 in every saloon, thus swelling
his expenses to over $780, O00 His manager was
Jackey Patterson, noted East Side politician.
Flower was not much if any less lavish, and his
agent was Jimmy OBrien, experienced cam
paigner. The defeat of Astor was humiating
blow, blunted only by his immediate appoint
ment by President Arthur as minister to Italy.
He has returned to New York, and his father is
very positively reported to have offered open
purse to beat Flower. That would have neces-
STATED a corresponding expenditure by Flower,
and he declined to go into that contest.

A MILITARY SCANDAL.

Amateur Soldiers Shocked by the Discovery

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
NEW YORK, Oct "a big bomb has exploded
among the militia of this city. Gen. Alexander
Shaler looks shattered by it. He is the commando
of division containing such fashionable regi-
ments as the Ninth, Seventh, Twenty-second and
Seventy first, and he has been man of great in
fuence A legislative investigating committee
has spent the week in inquiry TO why, in spend
ing nearly million for ground on which to erect
armories, the city invariably paid higher prices
than the owners had asked for the property.
Long and earnest effort finally disclosed go
between in the person of NJ. B. Wilson, superin
tendent of the fire insurance PATROL position
into which Shaler, as president of the Board of
Fire Commissioners had placed him. Wilson
admitted that he had taken many thousands of
dollars as all agent, though he had never pre-
viously done any real estate business. The
armory commission consisted of Shaler and the
then mayor Edison, who voted together, and
Hubert .. Thompson, a dsregarded minority.
The Doodle is estimated to have amounted to
about 100000. The amateur soldiery under
Shaler number 1900 men, who are tremen-
dously shocked by the explosion. Nothing since
the Tweed earthquake has caused so much ex
citement in both political and social circles.

AMERICAN LITERATURE.
Brander Matthew's Latest Story Ivory
Blacks "Studes in Color"

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3-Brander Matthew'S a
writer known to the public through the medium
of various magazine articles and or two
volumes of short stories and critical essays, ap-
pears to-day as the author of novel; "The Last
Meeting" the principal motive of which is the
mysterious disappearance of young artist from
a room in friends house-a room which has no
egress except through other apartments, in
which his friends are assembled "The Last
Meeting" is interesting story, the scenes Of
which are laid in New York, and it deals largely
with that class of society which may be de.
scrited as Upper Bohemia Portions of the
book treat of conventional New York society,
which is portrayed with fidelity and art which
can come only from accurate knowledge of the
subject. Mr.. Matthews describes New York
drawing room as it is, giving to it its true
flavor without descending to the common
patitudes about 'gilded marble palace on
Fifth avenue" in which SO many feeble
writer's of well-named fiction delight He is
equally fortunate in hissdescriptions of local art
istic and literary life. He paints these social
phases they really exist, and gives to his
scenes and characters coloring which will be
readily recognized by those familiar with them.
Those who have read Mr. Mathews's short stories
will be glad to meet again Dear Jones, Uncle
Larry, the Duchess of Washington sduare. and
other personages with which they are already
familiar. These characters, and many others,
equally we'll drawn, assist in the development of
plot of deep interest, the upshot of which will
battle the most discerning of novelreaders.
Some of the characters in this book are recog-
nized by the initiated as more or less dealized
transcripts of wellknown personages in the lite
rary world of New York.

Compelled to Disgorge $4,000.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct 3.-Clauson Ora
ham, member of the New York Stock and Pc
troleum exchanges, doing business at No. 80
Broadway, in that city, was captured here this
morning by Pinkertons agency, with $1,000
worth of gold certificates belonging to Spencer
Trask & Co. in his possession, and in company
with Mrs Alice Bramwell, just as he was about
to board the Montreal train. The elopers had
come from New York the night before. Police
Justice Copeland in spite of an oath
that Graham had stolen 500, 5,OOO delayed
issuing a warrant until 8 o'clock He
also forbade the city marshal to arrest the man
in the meantime Before the detective and his
counsel had succeeded in convincing the Justice
that warrant should be issued. the prisoner
escaped, and was at large at midnight. Graham
made full confession to the detective, and gave
up the money. He would also have gone back
to New York with the officers, who had orders
from Trask g. Co. to keep the whole matter from
the public, but the woman pressed him not to 60
and he yielded.

LAND-GRANT FORFEITURES.
Little Probability that the Mistake of Last
Session Will BE Repeated.
0 the indianapolis Journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON Oct. 3-"The bad mistake Of
attempting to forfeit every acre of lands in the
railroad grants will not be attempted again this
winter, l imagine, said old member of the
House to-day. There can be no doubt at all"
which should be restored to the public domain,
because of the failure of the land grant roads to
even attempt to carry out the terms of their
charter; but each individual case should be care
taken. 1t is not the province of Congress to take
undue advantage of the misfortunes of men who
have put their money, in good faith, into rail-
road building. Congress has no right to create
than it has to bull or bear the price
of breadstuffs II the public lands committee
and those members of Congress who have a
mania for land grant forfeitures, will be content
to consider one case and dispose of it before
taking up another, great deal of good may be
accomplished. But if another attempt is made
to railroad through each and every forfeiture
BILL we shall find ourselves on the Attn of March.
1887, just where we are to-day. Anderson, Pay
son and Cobb mean well enough, but in their
zeal 20 benefit one class they forget the rights of
another and are very apt to overstep the
boundary line of justice. There will be soms
forfeiture bills passed, but not all that intro
duced by any means"
