A CONFESSED 0YNAMITER.

The Statement of an Arrant Braggaru a
Very Dangerous Man to he Going Around
Loose.
PITTSBURGH, PA, February 5.-There
arrived in New York last Saturday after
noon Martin O'Connor, an Irish-Ameri-
can, who is at present stopping in this
city, and who, according to his own con-
fession, was in a measure connected with
the great dynamite explosion of January
oath. He left London three days before
the explosions occurred, but the follow
ing statement will show he was fully
aware of what would take place. He
says:
"At q meeting of a certain organization
which has the cause Of Ireland at heart,
held in Newark, N. j., on the night Of
Tuesday, September I6, 1884, n resolution
was passed authorizing the Correspond
ing Secretary to communicate with other
organizations I'm Boston, Philadelphia,
Jersey City and Scranton, and ask them If
their members would ybe willing TO send
two of their number to England for work,
expenses paid. All except Jersey City,
it is asserted, furnished the men. was
sent from Newark lodge.
After being fully instructed, we pro-
ceeded to England on different vessels,
and met in London on October 22d. Our
place of rendezvous was the tavern under
Chariug Cross Hotel. There we were
met by fellow patriot, also acting under
instructions. Our chemist, Louis ZOutel-
Ii, prepared the explosives
Our first work was partially successful
the demolition of London Bridge After
that we were compelled TO remain IN con-
ceaIment. After several secret meetings,
finally on January Sd, our society held a
grand meeting, at which time it was de-
termined to do the biggest Job ever at
tempted before, viz; Both houses Of
Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the
Tower and the British Museum
At a subsequent meeting II was decided
that Windsor and the Crystal Palace
should also be included. The day 10 blow
the id English institutions was fixed
for January goth. Twenty men were
designated TO the work, several disguised
as women. Our plans were partially frus-
JTated by an accident, and IL was decided
that as we were under police surveillance,
IL would be impolitic to attempt the work
ourselves, and we were ordered home,
and on the 22d Of January we sailed from
Liverpool.

Standard VS.. Trade Dollars.

WAsHTEGToN, D. c., February 2.
The bill for the retirement and recoinage
of trade dollars bids fair to become a
law this week if the two houses can
agree upon its phraseology. 1t provides
that until July 1st, 1885, United States
trade dollars, if not defaced, mutilated
or stamped, shall be received at the Office
of the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasur-
er of the United States, in exchange for
a like amount, dollar for dollar, of stand
ard silver dollars. The trade dollars re-
ceived by the Treasurer shall not be paid
out or in other manner issued, but, at
the expense of the United States, shall
be transmitted to the coinage mints and
shall be regarded and treated as silver
bullion, and, at their bullion value, shall
be deducted from the amount of bullion
required to be purchased and coined by
the act of February 2sth, 1873, and sh all
be coined into standard silver dollars ac-
cording to the provisions of said act;
provided the amount shall not exceed
$500, 900 in any month.
