The Head Of the Dynamiters, in
Whose Office the Attempt
Was Made to Kill
Capt. Phelan.

1t is generally believed that the
headquarters of the Irishmen and
1rish-Americans who profess to be
at "war" with England by employ
ing secret means Of injuring her,
are at the Office of the United Irish
man in New York City. This
place is conducted by O'Donovan
Rosa, believed to be proprietor Of
the Journal named, and who is a
man with a history and world wide
reputation. Even more than usual
notoriety is given his name just
now because of the recent attempt,
in the Office Of that newspaper, to
kill Captain Phelan, an Irish pa
triot of Kansas City, by another
patriot with whom Phelan seems to
have had a little misunderstanding
in the absence of the lord and mas
ter of the premises. Readers who
do not actually read it, are unnoubt-
eddy acquainted with the fact that
the United IaisKna,s rs at the head
and front of the journals advocating
any and every means to injure
England, and that the Lord Lieu
tenant of Ireland does his utmost
to prevent its circulation in the
country, the interests Of which it
processes to serve.
O'Donovan Rosa is native of
the County Cork, Ireland. He was
born in 1882, and is growing gray.
His father died IN March, 1s47,
and the widow and children were q
short time after evicted from their
home by an alien landlord. From
that time forward, say his biogra-
pliers, O'Donovan Rosa was at
heart rebel against British rule.
His first experiment in business
was as a storekeeper in Ireland
In 1858 he was arrested for oonnec-
ton with the Phoenix Society, the
organization from which was devel-
oped the more powerful brother
hood of Fenianism. He was in
trouble with the authorities q Sec
ond time in 1865, and was put into
prison, where he remained until
1870. In this year he came to New
York, and opened a hotel. After
hauing been Boniface for a few
years he began his career as jour
nalist. Strong views are entertain
ed of O'Donovan Rosa by both
friends and foes. Those read his
ferocious articles with admiration
and entrust him with subscriptions
to be appropriated in the destruc-
ton Of English ships, buildings,
ETC.; these regard him in exactly
the opposite way, going SO far as to
not only discredit his professions of
patriotism, pure and disinterested,
but to accuse him, with greater or
less distinctness, Of treacherous
connivance with the British author
tiles. The exact truth as it lies in
or between these extreme views,
is not easy to determine. Our sub
ject has q comfortable home in
Brooklyn, over which his. wife
presides.

THE FORD.MURPHY MURDER
TRIAL.

The verdict of mistrial has been
entered and the presiding Judge
ordered new one. Had this ver-
dict been in accordance with the
facts, with the law and the evil
dence so clearly set forth on the
trial, no just demurrer could have
been urged. Alas! however, for
the good name of the jury, the evil
dence clearly established the guilt
of the Accnsed-the charge of the
Court explaining the law as appli-
cable was too plain to be misun-
stood, except willfully so. But
both law, evidence and justice are
openly, shamefully defed and
spurned by this verdict. While,
perhaps, due allowance should be
made for the conceded ignorance of
a portion of the jury the utmost
condemnation should be meted out
to those who proved their willing
ness to perjure their souls in order
to acquit the conspirators in this
the foulest conspiracy and murder
that ,ver disgraeed the records of
even New Orleans. That the jury
was tempered with preceding their
secret session is proved beyond
doubt. What a commentary on
the morals and jurisprudence Of any
community where such acts can be
perpetrated and tolerated. 'Better
that ninety-nine guilty escape than
one innocent be punished" is a d.
vine precept, but it is not less so
that whatsoever sheddeth mans
blood by man shall his blood be
she'd" In this instance FIVE, equal
ly guilty snd fiendisb, conspired to
infict bloody murder on one poor
helpless and unsuspecsipg individ-
ual. They did murder him, and
not only that, but most savagely
mutilated his dead body, and yet a
jury acting under the solemn du-
ties of an oath are willing to &C.
quit some while a large majority
were for acquitting all the often
ders. This is fearful condition
of affairs. 1t will affix a just stig-
ma on the whole community where
such high-handed acts are tolera-
ted. The question is pertinent,
shall crime be rewarded by the en-
tire acquittal Of its instigators and
participants2 Shall murder trials
in New Orleans continue to be but
sham and farce? If so that mis-
homer "a criminal code," had as
well be abolished, and free scope
be given to the pistol and stiletto.
What is to be the final issue of
this case we know not, but indica-
tons too plainly point it out.
There is an impression that
Mr.. Cleveland will endeavor to
build up the Democratic party, not
by merely partisan methods, but
by convincing the country that a
democratic administration il best
for all classes-the rich, the poor,
the farmer, the manufacturer and
the business man. Already the par
ty is beginning to feel sure of its
strength, and this feeling Of conf
dence is largely due to the discre-

-MGR. Capel thinks that the
school desks used in our schools are
not pitched high enough, and thinks
the top ought to be raised at an
angle of at least ninety degrees.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Men Blown High in the Air-Fearful
 Injuries.

Men Blown High i'm the Air-Fearful
 Injuries.
 County Commissioner Sylvester N. Petit bone, of Litchfeld county, with several workmen under his charge, engaged in blast ing rocks near the Congregational church at Bakersyille, near Hartford, Wednesday morning A heavy charge of powder was placed in one of the rocks and the fuse lighted. The men, after waiting some time, came to the conclusion that the fuse was de- fective, as the blast hung fire, and returned to the rock. The four men sat on the rock talking while Mir. Pettibone cut the fuse to see how far it had burned. An instant later there was terrible explosion, throwing the men many feet in the air. They came down among hundreds of pounds of rubbish. DTS. Broadway, of New Hartford, and Steel, of Winsted, were summoned. On arriving three of the men were yet insensible. An examination showed that MT. Pettibone's jaw hone was broken and that he had many gash- es on his body. His face and eyes were filled with powder and it is feared he will lose his eyssieht Martin Lyman was injured inter nally and George Jones, who was directly over the blast, was injured to such an extent that it is claimed he cannot survive. Those u-l,o saw the explosion and the men flying up
 ta air think it miraculous that they were ..ot all instantly killed,
