FIGHTING WITH DYNAMITE.


CHICAGO, Sept. IL. The war against the
Lake Shore Railroad Company, in the town
of Lake, has broken out afresh in new
and dangerous manner, the latest method
being the use OF explosives. About mid
night the night operator at the switch and
signal tower at the junction of the mair
and stock yard tracks noticed column of
smoke arise from one side of the structure.
1t nearly suffocated him, and before he
could descend the stairs to investigate it an
explosion occurred, which threw him off
bis feet and crashed number of tools to
the floor and through the windows. At
that moment the figure of man was seen
fastening toward the stock yards, and it
was soon lost in the labrinth of cars. A
twenty-inch piece of shattered gas pipe was
found and package of something which
looked like cotton which had been soaked
IN some kind of dark liquid. a bottle con-
tanning what is supposed to be an acid was
picked up near by. The door of the signal
tower was a1ar and the explosive had been
thrown on the floor. Tho explosion shat
tered all the glass trent of the house and
many of the battery cells in the basement.
The pneumatic tubes used in signaling were
torn and twisted, In shed at the rear of
the tower, a small bundle, supposed to con-
tain another explosive, was picked up.
Earlier 10 the evening the Lake Shore
Road received from the Illinois Central
train of twenty-eight cars. While these
were being taken over the Root street
crossing. q So itch was thrown after about
half the cars had passed, causing general
wreck. About midnight John Fagin, an
ex-switohmaa of the Lake Shore Read, was
arrested at Forty-third street, just as he
was about, it is charged, to threw switch,
with the purpose of derailing train.

A Melancholy Chicago Widow Kills Her
self aud FaMiiy.
CHICAGO, Sept 11.-Mrs. Frank Confer,
a widow, twenty-five years old, made a
desperate and perhaps successful attempt
yesterday afternoon to end the lives Of her
two children and herself. Since the
woman's husband died about year ago she
has had several fits of melancholia. Strange
noises in her apartments yesterday caused
neighbors to break in. Mrs. Confer was
found lying on bed, and clasped in her
arms were her two children. aged two years
and seven months respectively. Upon the
floor was an empty bottle marked corrosive
sublimate. Mrs. Confer was conscious,
but Historically resisted any attempt to
save her life. The two babies were in a
stupor. Their mother was soon corpse.
Last night in the hospital the little ones
were still alive, and it was thought they
had chance to recover. The mother has
been out of money for some time, and
seemed to have had no friends.

boarded by gang of half dozen tramps.
When the ira n reacl ed Frankfort, Conduc-

The Raying Of a Crazy Man.

The. mind of DR.. Koch, of the Free
Presse, has become filed of late with all
kinds of hallucinations, and his friends
fear that his intellect has been seriously
impaired by the shock the terrible death
Of his wife in Central Park year ago must
have given him. His latest vagary is that
he has won the suit he brought to have the
appointment of the SUNDAY TATTLER as an
official paper set aside by the courts; and
for the last week or two he has been going
around informing officials of his triumph.
AS matter of fact, the case has not even
been argued yet. If 1t ever Is argued, it
will be heard by the Supreme Court in No
yember next. As the Court is not in the
habit of rendering its decision in advance
Of the argument, it may be safely assumed
that no decision has been reached. When
it shall be reached, there is not the small
est doubt that it will be in favor Of the
SUNDAY TATrLsR.

YOUTH At THE ACADEMY.
A Spectacular Play which Everybody
should see.

Should see.
Tomorrow evening will be given the
first performance of the famous military
spectacle, "Youth," and it is safe to say
that the announcement of no coming at
traction has SO interested theatre goers in
this city as it. The unusually large amount
of requisite scenery. mechanical effects,
calcium lights, and costumes, as also the
consequent expense added to the salary
list of the hundred and odd people used
in the play, has hitherto deferred discreet
managers from risking the large capitsl
necessary to properly present it, but an
examination of the authors books showed
that he had received in ROYALTIES more
money than has ever been paid any play
wright, and these royalties being regulated
BY the amount Of money the play has
drawn. has proven sonclusivelY that it is
the most largely demsn sed play of the
age. Considering these facts, the present
management invested SIC, 900 in the equip
ment of the piece for the road, and have
had painted the most elaborate of scenery
and mechanical effects, and the most costly
and beautiful costumes and uniforms
money could procure.
Despite the hot weather, during the past
three weeks the company have been play
ing. Standing room alone could be had
after eight o'clock, and on many
occasions hundreds have been turned away
unable to obtain even admission. So
much for the drawing powers of Youth; "
and now word about the piece itself. 1t
was originally produced at Wallack's The
atre, New York, about five years ago, aud
enjoyed packed house run of fourteen
consecutive weeks, creating the widest
enthusiasm among the audiences which it
attracted. In Philadelphia, Boston, Balti-
more and Chicago long runs and standing
room business greeted every performance.
Nor ia this to be wondered at. The scenic
effects-and every scene is new and paint
ed specially for the production-are the
finest ever put upon stage. Panoramas,
transformation scenes, convict prison re-
volt. real ship laden with troops sailing
away in full view of the audience, terrific
battle scene where soldiers and Zulus en-
gage in q hand-to hand conflict amid the
booming Of cannon and clashing of bayo-
nets are but few of the thrilling features
of the play. A strong sensational domestic
story il the theme upon which this specta-
Gle has been built, and In the hands of an
unusually good company, including King
Hedley, Agnes Proctor, Mary Mills. W. A.
Paid, Alice Crawford, Maude Monroe,
Harry Woodruff, Graham Crawford, J. H
Ryan and other good people, cannot fail
to get the recognition it deserves.

The action of the Board of Finance, the
other evening, in calling on the citizens of
Jersey City to contribute of their means to
the fund for the relief of the city of
Charleston is both timely and wise. A city
so stricken in the hour of her prosperity,
earns, by her misery, the fullest possible
measure of the nations sympathy. We
would like to see thepeople of this country
pour enough wealth into thewretched city
to rebuild her and set her on her pins
again. We add our voice to that of the
Board of Finance in urging the people of
this city to contribute as much as they can
to the fund. We do not propose to follow
the plan the local daily prints have adopt
ed of making the misfortunes of the
Charleston people the excuse for little
cheap advertisement for themselves, by
starting TArTLsR relief fund; but we
urge every reader of the TArrLER to send
forward his or her subscription. They can
send it to us, if they choose, and we will
gladly acknowledge its receipt. But the
easier and better way is for those who are
reused by this appeal to send their little
or their much direct to the Mayor, who
will see that it goes where it can do the
most good.

Counsellor William D. DAILY has pre-
claimed war against Congressman McAdoo.
The cause of this outbreak of hostilities on
the part Of our eminent jurist is found in
Mr.. McAdoo's failure to procure for him
the office of Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney. Why Mr.. William D. DAILY
should have that Office has never been
stated with sufficient clearness to command
our assent; why he should not have it is
distressinqly obvious. In the first place the
Office is too small for him. Its duties are
mainly clerical its emoluments are insult
fc,ent-we mean of course its lawful
amoluments for some men there are who
would consider the Government Building
at Trenton, as q part of the emoluments
and would probably dispose of 1t at auc-
ton. Then again il would be unbecoming

ceive, if you can, man of his gigantic in

NAV not. therefore, let himself out by con-
tract for $500 year--the salary of the As
sistant--to run on errands and carry bum
dies and dust furniture for the District
Attorney. If Mr.. Lippincott is prepared to
change places with Mr.. DAILY, there
could be no objection to such
an arrangement. This solution OF the
difficulty may not have occurred to Mr..
Iappincott, and we know he will feel CRATE
ful 10 Us for suggesting il. There is only
one better suggestion that we have 70 offer,
ana that il that Mr.. LippIncott should
remain in his office, and that Attorney
General Garland should resign in favor OF
the aspiring Mr.. DAILY. This settlement
would Qive universal satisfaction, and
would be greeted with bonires on every
