PITTsBURG, Nov. 11.-Upon the arrival
at Dubois, Pa. of the mail train north on
the Buffalo, Rochester q Pittsburg railroad
to-day, the car inspector, while passengers
were getting on and of the cars at the
depot. discovered three dynamite bombs
and caps fastened under the springs of the
rear coach. The bombs We're carefully re-
moved and there. were many pale faces
among the passengers when they learned
the terrible fate they had so narrowly es-
capped. The train starts from PunXutaw-
ney every morning. and it is undoubtedly
at that place that the bombs were placed
under the springs as it only makes short
stops between there and Dubois. 1t is
twenty miles from the place of starting and
how it was possible for a train to run that
distance over short curves with that
amount of dynamite and caps under the
springs of a coach is a mystery. Thirty
four passengers were in the coach. SuSpi-
cion points directly to no person as the
perpetrator of the deed. The matter will
be thoroughly investigated.

The Coke Man.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 11.-President
Costello, of the Miners Amalgamated asso-
cation left for the Connellsville coke re-
gions last night to use his influence in
averting a quarrel between the operators
and the men. A demand has been formu-
lated by the local executive board of the as
sociation and presented to the coke syndi-
cate. If this demand should be denied the
men threaten to strike. But the chances
are against lockout. Such action will be
particularly severe upon the producers just
at present. as the demand for coke at pay
ing figures is greater than the output.
President Costello will investigate the
grievances and secure, if possible, a
peaceful solution of the problem.

published:
To the Editor of the Post: Will you permit
me through your columns to reply to the
many who still inquire concerning my real
present relations to the little Chicago maga-
zine, that all connection with this paper was
irreyocably severed more than month ago;
also, that all the reported interviews with the
publisher of that paper have contained so lit
tie truth in what they have said OF me as to
deserve only Tennysons stigma of ''Jhe worst
of lies" These falsehoods would be as harm
less as they are ridiculous except for the sad
fact that there are widely circulated news
papers which receive and scatter them to
many readers. among whom some feeling
kindly toward me may sorrowfully believe
them until they are denied.

correspondent went down into the burning
coal mine at the Standard Coke works this
morning to get look at the fire in company
with Pit Boss Dawson. They went within
fifty feet of the fire, going waist deep in
water to reach it. The fire is now confined
to less than two acres and is merely burn
ing on top of the treadings. By Monday
next all the fire will be out and in two
weeks the works will be running from the
slope. Estimates of the loss which have
been published have been greatly exagger-
ated. 1t will not, according to the state
ments of the company, foot up more than
$50. 600, exclusive of loss of business. The
miners have done noble and fearless work
1000 feet under ground, and are entitled to
much credit for the good results so far ac-
compliShed.

GALVESTON, Tex, Nov. IA little
over month ago the mutilated remains OF
Richard LacOck were found floating in the
bay, with every indication that horrible
murder had been committed. but owing t.
the lack OF evidence the suspected individ-
nal was set free. Late Tuesday another
murder. relatively of the same order, was
discovered off Pelican island small Strip

cabin and deck were despatched with
blood, and the general indications were
that there had been a struggle and the
corpse had been carried below after the
fatal blows had been dealt. In further
confirmation of this bloody hatchet, with
which the wounds had been inflicted. was
found on top of the cabin. Under the body
was found an advertising picture card. Oh

we regret that we will be placed under the
painful necessity of Immediately taking such
steps as will enable US to maintain the princi-
pies of the United Presbyterian church as
agreed to in the organization.

by some, while Others urged its adoption as
their only means of relief. Finally an
amendment was offered and accepted to
take the place of the original resolution.
After the words, harmony of the church. !"

1t is the Judgment of the convention that
the general association at its first meeting
shall take proper action to meet the case and
carry out the purposes of the convention to
maintain the principles of the United Presby-
teran church.
The officers of the convention were then
