AN ANARCHISTS ARMoRY.-A party CT
policemen visited the little cottage on West
Twentieth street Chicago, yesterday morn
ing in search of Christ Komnes, the sup
posed shooter Of Louis Friedman and Ber-
nard Barowsky. They did not find their
man, but in Komnes' bedroom they saw 81
trunk in the corner and prised it open. 1t
was almost filled with rags. Down at the
bottom Of the trunk was an old revolver,
four round shells of lead about three inches
in diameter, red cartridge.box, piece OF
iron pick with projecting fuse at the end
and about six yards of coil. A little pink
covered book beside the shells explained
their use. On the outside, printed IN Ger
man, was the following inscription: "Revo-
lutionary War knowledge. book con-
tanning the art of using and manufacturing
dynamite, gun-cotton, explosive mercury,
bombs, incendiary implements and poisons,
Edited by Johann Most, and published by
the International Zcitung Icrcin, No. l6I
William street, New York" The police
beat hasty retreat. When they concluded
to 90 back and make more thorough IN
vestigation they found that the shells
weighed about five pounds, and that they
were all lined with plaster Of paris. Only
one of them was apparently loaded. me
others were empty, one OF them being shat-
tered as ifby some slight explosion. In the
tops were little holes just the size of each OF
about fifty cans found in the cartridge-box.
The piece of tube was closed at both ends,
but little piece of cotton stuck out OF a
crack. 1t is thought to be full of gun.cot'
ton. Tho fuse is soft inside, but with a
hard tarred exterior. The revolver was
rusty and apparently old. Continuing their
search, the officers found in an adjoining
room Springfield rifle, box of cartridges
and pot for melting lead, of which there
was large quantity in the room. All the
stuff was taken to police Headquarters.

Preparing for 4 Strike.

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 24-As early as
eight o'clock last night the employees of the
street car companies began to assemble at
Industrial Hall. AS fast as the men finished
their days work they presented themselves
at the hall, and by one o'clock this morning
the capacous building was very nearly fill
ed. A charter of the order of the Knights
of Labor was formally presented to the or
ganization, and nearly 800 persons were in
itiatcd and became members OF the order
The sentiment Of the men was strongly in
favor Of n strike at once in order 10 force
the railway officials to accede to their de-
mauds and not TO give them time to secure
other mon in their places. A large number
were opposed TO waiting till the first of
April for an answer to their demands from
the board Of presidents. The report Of the
grievance committee was presented to the
meeting by Chairman Weider, and when it
was announced that delay OF a week had
been asked the statement was greeted with
loud cries Of derision. The men remained
in session until 2:30 a. M, and after heat
ed discussion, in which an Immediate tie up
was freely advocated, it was decided to
abide by the agreement Of the arbitration
committee and wait until April 1st for the
answer Of the board Of presidents. Repre-
sentatives Of many of the roads expressed
desire TO stop work at once, but The cars
will be taken out this morning as usual.

If there is one thing in Florida

If there is one thing in Florida
that will attract the attention of
northern visitor it is "crackcr."
THIS is term applied to a native Of
the state and in my judgment, q
good one for he looks as if he might
break all to pieces AZ any time. He
is an individual who has not fed we'll
and who will. it is said, cat clay for
food when it can be had. He is not
much more than skin and bones. HIS
skin is sallow, his face emaciated, and
when he comes to town he drives a
misunderstanding little cow hitched
to a cart. Inhabitants like these are
what is keeping Florida in the bsck
ground. They are not Industrious
and most Of them hardly civilized.
What they do is done in such an
indoient manner that it becomes tire
some to look at them.
1t is not to be supposed that ma
tive Of Florida can do as much work
during the hot season as one living
in the north bat 1 viii say that if
the people here would devote a
little more time to preparing a good
meal once in a While the likelihood
is that they would be much improy-
ed III health and appearance. The
saying down here is that a
cclored man is constitutienally lazy
and when he has good job he does
not seem to appreciate it, for it is
almost invariably the rule that when
he gets S. or $40 ahead he will give
up bis job and live in idleness and
ease until that is all gone, when he
will seek another job. jackson Fla.
