THE GRAY NUN.

There comes each dying day ~ Jless,
A little while before the nighC,
A gentle nun in CO" ~ dress
OF clinging robes all gray and white.
She lays her cool hand on my face,
And smoOths the lines of care away;
Her tender touch with magic grace
Dispels the worries Of the day
She folds the mystic curtain by
That hides from view the shadowy
throng,
And gives me those for whom sigh,
The vanished friends for whom long.
Sometimes she brings perfumed spray
OF flowers that bluumed long yeaIs ago,
The breath of a summer laid away
Meath many u winters drifted snow.
No other guest gives such delight
Nor can of peace beStow the same,
As she who comes 'twiNt day and night,
And Twilight is the gray nuns name.

Careless Use of Dynamite.

PITTsBURG, May 14.-Col H. w. Hoblitzell,
agent Of the Atlantic Dynamite Company, was
employed this morning to break up a lot of old
iron stored on vacant piece of ground near the
Republic iron works, on Sidney street, South
Side. He commenced work about o'clock on a
ten-ton anvil, and used an immense charge of
dynamite for the purpose A terrific explosion
followed, and huge pieces of the anvil were scat
tered about in every direction. One piece,
weighing three hundred pounds, wrecked a
house occupied by Mrs. Mcnamara, one block
distant Another piece, weighing over two hun
dred pounds, crashed through the dwelling of
Emil Erstman, also block away. 1t struck
bed in which three children were sleeping. They
were covered with debris, but escaped serious
injury. Another house, occupied by Mrs. Luny,
fully three hundred feet away, was also
wrecked. The only person injured was James
Acton, who was walking on the sidewalk one
block away. He was struck on the leg with
fragment, and the limb was so badly injured
that amputation may be necessary. Hoblitzell
was arrested for violating city ordinance.
The explosion caused intense excitement as a
rumor was current that bomb similar to those
used at Chicago had been thrown on the street.

dressed the following letter to the Daily News:
II beg the privilege of saying word to the
public through the columns of the Daily News.
/ ask, in common fairness a suspension of pub

oned or under the ban. Will the people wait
until our side has had its opportunity to be heard
in the court of general opinions The howl has
gone up from pulpit and press now, AS of old
Cruelty! crucifyP but even an Anarchist
ought not to be condemned and executed with
out hearing Is there not danger that in the
excitement of the hour good people will forget to
inquire whether the Anarchists have really ever
violated any of the laws of the city, State or ma

charged that the meeting at Haymarket square,
which the police attempted to dispense, was an
unlawful assemblage, or that the attendants

of the Anarchists the law-breakersg

How Three Prisoners Escaped.

KINGMAN, Kan, May 14-Three prisoners
confined in the county Jail here, charged with
horse stealing, made their escape Wednesday
evening, and have not since been captured
When Deputy Sheriff Holowell entered the Jail
with supper for the prisoners the muzzle of a
loaded Winchester was placed against his head
and he was commanded to throw up his hands
He was relieved of the keys, tied, gagged and
thrown into cell, while tho prisoners liberated
themselves An immediate alarm was given,
and Sheriff McClelland and two citizens went in
pursuit Meanwhile the thieves had supplied
themselves with horses. The pursuers gained
rapidly on them, but being armed only with
revolvers, they did not care to close upon them
in the face of hot fire from the Winchester,
and the pursuit was given up. The thieves who
escaped are part of the gang from Indian Ter
ritory captured here about two months ago.

Fall Creeks Overflow.

Fall creek waters began to swell on Thursday,
and continued to rise rapidly until early yefter-
day morning. A man who lives within the line
Of this creek, and claims q familiarity with Its
freaks, said, as he stood on the sho-e looking at
the waste of drift and muddy bottom lands:
'She didn't come up as high as in '75"
What was the high mark then9'
II don't know; but the water was above Ton
nessee street yonder. This time she barely
touched the top Of the grade"
In this locality the State ditch caught large
part of the increased volume and disturbed pas

nois and Meridian streets. All of these were
blocked by fencing announcing no thoroughfare.
1t was ~ o'clock on Thursday night that O. G.
Meyers, with his team, was crossing the Ten
nessee street bridge The horses were about
midway Of the structure when he caught the
sound of cracking timbers. Meyers knew what
was coming, and making vigorous effort, had
the team, wagon and himself on the other shore
just in time to escape dropping into the food

mark, there was enough of them to make vast
