THE NEWS BY WIRE.

P1TrsBuRe, Nov. 1l.-Upon the ar
rival at Dubois, Pa, of the mail train
from the north on the Buffalo, Roches-
ter & Pittsburg railroad to-day, the car
inspector, while the passengers we're
getting on andIoff the cars at the depot,
discovered three dynamite bombs and
caps fastened under the springs Of the
rear coach. The bombs were carefully
removed and there were many pale
faces among the passengers when they
learned Of the terrible fate they had so
narrowly escaped. The train starts
from Punxsutawney every morning
and 1t is undoubtedly that is the place
the bombs were placed under the
springs, as it only makes short stops
between there and Dubois. 1t is twen-
ty-miles from the place of starting, and
how it was possible for train to run
that distance over the short curves
with that amount of dynamite fastened
under the springs of the coach is mys-
terry. Thirty-four persons were in the
coach. Suspicion points directly to no
person as the perpetrator of the deed.
The matter will be thoroughly investi-
gated by the railroad authorities, and
an effort made to bring the criminal to
justice.
CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-The members of
the national butter, cheese and egg
association to-day elected II. B. Gurler
of DeKalb, ILL.,, president for the COM
ing year. They had quite spirited
discussion over the resolution offered
by Dutton of New York, that all deal
ers and exhibitors of oleomargarine be
boycotted. Everybody wanted the
floor at once. but the tempest was
abated by the adoption of a substitute
that the members of the association
should hold themselves aloof from the
Illinois state board of agriculture so
long as that body encouraged those
who manufactured oleomargarine.
Convention adjourned sine die.
