The Subsidized Railroads.

tary of the Interior, states that the sinking

acted, that Of producing a sum sufficient 10 pay

Dynamite An His na,l.

A dastardly attempt at the destruction of life
and property was discovered at the Office Of the
Fairchan6e Furnace Company, at Fairchance,
near Uniontown, Pa. on Thursday last. C. w.
Finnell, the Chief Clerk, in making prepare
tiOns TO begin the days duties, discovered that
the top Of bic desk was slightly raised. Upon
lifting the lid he found an immense coil of
dynamite fuse, one end Of which had been drawn
TO the edge OF the desk with q huge dynamite
cartridge placed upon it. Mr. Finnells nerve
was taxed 10 the uttermost. but he removed the
cap and placed the end Of the coil in the bottom
of the desk. Mr. Finnell states that the would
be destroyer evidently entertained the belief
that he would proceed with his work without
opening his desk, and that by leaning upon IL
the force would discharge the dynamite. Un-
derneath the desk there were secreted several
pounds Of the explosive. IL is calculated that
if the scheme had been contaminated, with all
this dynamite in the room, every life and al
property In the neighborhood would have been
destroyed. Superintendent Martin and many

there should be a plant on the Pacific coast, and
that speedy preparation for making suitable

A uninna MAddinr.

A remarkable wedding took place In Phils-
delphia last week at the residence Of w. B.
Gallagher. Miss Gallagher, the favorite daugh-
ter of the household, is an attractive young
lady, who has been engaged for some time TO
David NJ. Shirk, who lives in the same square.
The wedding was 10 have taken place in the
Church of the Mediator and all the arrange
ments had been made, but the bride began 10
feel i'll. and grew so much worse that physi-
clan was summoned. who soon found that she
was suffering from scarlet fever, which was rap
idly developing. Tuesday the fever showed it
self plainly, and it was plain that the lady
could not leave the house 10 get married in
church. At the brides request, in which the
gentleman, of course, gladly acquiesced, the
wedding took place at the appointed hour at
home. Miss Gallagher, though unable to leave
her bed, was arrayed in her satin bridal dress,
and with the bridesmaids May Donald
son, Miss Elizabeth Harding, Miss Mary Whar-
burton. Miss Edith Hartel and Miss Fanny
Shirk-standing around, was married by the
Rev. DIR. Appleton, the rector Of the church in
which the ceremony was TO have been per-
formed. Necessarily all the bridal party was
compelled 10 retire. and the bride, by the advice
of her physician, was left as quiet as possible in
the care of her relatives, while Mr.. Shrk, with
q number Of friends, repaired 10 his own house.

A Couyfcf's Unfl Sacred.

Aletter addressed TO prisoner in the Cleveland
(O.) workhouse was opened by an officer of the
institution, found to contain money, and laid
away in the safe until the prisoners term should
expire When he was released the management
forgot to give him the letter with the money,
and IL remained in the safe until traced through
the postoffice, when the above state of facts was
disclosed. The attention Of the United States
authorities at Cleveland having been called to
this case, the question has been freely discussed
whether the practice of opening letters ad-
dressed to prisoners, which is common to most
If not all penal institutions, is not violation
of the United States law concerning the sanctity
of the mails. At the request of the postmaster,
Assistant United States Attorney s. ID. Dodge
has given him a written opinion on the subject.
1t is long review Of the laws on this and
kindred points, and concludes with the state
ment that no prison official has the right to
open prisoners mail.

Vermont Soldiers Home.

The fund for the establishment and mainte-
nance of Soldiers Home in Vermont now
amounts to $50, 600, which sum was appropriated
by the Legislature. Half of this amount was
voted by the Legislature in 1884 to secure q site
and erect buildings, and the balance of $4,000
was appropriated this year for the support Of
the proposed Home for the ensuing two years.
The Trustees, after looking about the State,
finally decided to locate the institution in Ben
nington, the heirs of the late Hon. Trenor W..
Park having generously offered to transfer as a
gift the large and valuable estate known rs the
Hunt property for the purpose of Soldiers
Home. The property comprises 300 acres of
fine meadow and timber land, valued at over
$4,000. The property can be put in good re-
pair for s., 900, and will be ready for occupancy
within a short time. The Trustees have can
vassed the State carefully, and find that there
are about 70 Veterans who would become in
mates of the Home as soon as it was opened.

A Young MANS Tragic Pate.

Harvey Rowland, n young man Of %, promi-
nent in social circles and highly esteemed. drew
his salary from the Casket Works, Owasso.
Mich, on Saturday evening. Hiring horse
and buggy. he went driving with his betrothed,
Miss Jennie Eldridge, OF Corunna, village
three miles distant. They were gone all the
evening. Late at night Miss Eldridge was
taken home. Young Rowland arrived at the
Corunna livery stables with the carriage at l
o'clock on Sunday morning. He paid for the
keeping of the turnout over night and left.
He returned about half-past one, and got the
horse again and started for 0wasso. At day
light the turnout was found at the livery barn
in 0wssso Rowland sitting on the seat dead.
A bulet-hole was in his forehead. His hands
were folded on his lap, holding the reins, and
q revolver lay upon the seat beside him. Sui
eide was the first belief, but the apparently
studied arrangement of the dead mans hands
suggested murder, especially in the absence of
any known motives for self-destruction. IL
was afterwards learned that he had qusrreled
with Miss Eldridge, whom he was TO marry
on Thursday, and for whom he purchased
several presents on Saturday evening. The
Coroner's jury found verdict Of suicide, but
further investigation will be made. There are
rumors of a rival, and other sensational reports
are in circulation.

A C0mrAde Murdered.

On the evening of Nov. % Alexander F.
Cook, late of the 9Th Ill. Cav, and sfterward
Lieutenant Co. K, 3lst Wis, was shot and
killed by Dr. B. G. Miller, at Fayette, a small
village four miles east of Greenfield, Ill. Mil
Ter at once surrendered himself to the authori-
ties who carelessly permitted him TO depart
during the night. Comrade Cook was a mem-
Der of Huron Post, Department of Dakota, and
at the time Of his death was a contractor for
some miles Of grading for a railroad now being
built in Illinois. He is highly spoken of by
his former associates, both employers and en-
ployes. The killing, as shown by the testi-
mony before the Coroner's jury, was eptirely
unproyoked and cowardly in the extreme; the
evidence tended to show deliberate intent to
kill. Steps are now being taken to insure a
liberal reward for the arrest Of the murderer.
b. c. Miller is by profession a physician and
is very dissipated. He is about 80 years old,
five feet eight inches high, weighs about 160
pounds has fair complexion, dark-blue eyes,
high forehead. inclning backward; hair and
beard inclined 10 be sandy; has a heavy mus
tache, which he usually keeps BACKED; has q
scar commencing near edge of hair in front on
top of head running backward and TO one side;
usually wears his hair combed 20 cover the
scar. His motion is rather quick, and when
walking his head inclines forward and TO the
right.

The Kind of Meteors They Have in Dakota.

A report from Coal Harbor, 80 miles north OF
Bismarck, Oak, says: During the coolest hour
yesterday the heavens seemed aglow with the
most brilliant fire, and at about o'clock in the
afternoon an immense blaze of fire shot down
through the frosty atmosphere, its passage being
accompanied by loud Kissing noise AS the
fame descended a breath of warm air passed
over the vicinity, and the strange visitor fell
on the opposite side of the river. Its contact
with the earth was accompanied by an explo-
sion which sounded like the firing of a cannon
An examination of the spot where the fire
seemed to fall was made soon after, and the
only evidences of an explosion were the shat
tered ice and bare depression in the earth
No one can account for the phenomenon, but il
is believed to have been a meteoric fragment
Its direction was from northeast TO southwest.
