An Ambitions q

A wealthy Austin man was asked re-
Gently by a delegation of his friends if
he would not consent to allow his name
to be used in connection with the United
States Senatorship. He replied that he
e had meddled in politics before,
but just now he had made up his mind
to apply for a position other than the
Senatorship.
':Ah! l suppose you want to get on
the Supreme Bench said one of the
committee.
The heavy property owner shook his
head and toyed with his $500 diamond
ring.
Perhaps Cleveland is going to offer
you a place in his Cabinet?"
NO. You haven't guessed it yet"
Foreign mission?"
Gentlemen, I'll be candid with you.
For years l have been trying to get the
city authorities to have the slop-barrel ut

FINDING 4 NEST OF Drs4,urEns.
Loaded Explosive Balls Found in a Sleeping
Room in Chicago.

Loaded Explosive Balls Found IN q Sleeping
Room in Chicago.
While looking for a supposed murderer,
says a Chicago dispatch, the police dIscov-
cred a dynamiter's nest. They were look
ing for Christ Komnes, a murderer. A
search Of his house at 231 West Twentieth
st. early in the morning led to the discov-
cry OF a long-barreled, breech- loading
Springfield rife and twenty rounds OF cart
ridges in the room OF Komne's boarder
and partner. Under the bed was found a
quantity OF lead and a potor ladle in which
to melt it. These suspicious instruments
implement caused other rooms to be over
hauled. In Komne's sleeping-room an old
trunk was dragged out OF a dark corner
and it's contents examined. Beneath a lot
old rags were four hollow lead balls consid-
erably larger thar a base ball. Three Of
the balls were empty. The fourth was
loaded and a hole partially bored for the
insertion OF a percussion cap. The balls
had been cast in a mold on the principle oil
a bullet mold with a plaster OF paris ball
in the center for a core. The lead shell
was rem a quarter to three-eighths OF an
inch thick and weighed about five pounds.
After casting the shell OF the leaden bomb
Il DId5GGE vi pulls bGttl "io
gouged out as far as possible with a chisel.
The hollow space of the loaded gun is sup
posed to be filled with dynamite, gun-cot-
ton or other violent explosive. The open
ing was sealed with lead and a hole bored
opposite for the insertion OF the percussion
cap. Two of the finished but unloaded
balls had two holes in them, one OF which
was made with a screw thread so that the
instrument containing the cap could be
twisted into the ball securely.
With the bombs was found a piece OF
wrought iron pipe six inches long and one
and one-quarter in diameter. Both end
were closed with hard wood plugs, from
one of which projected four inches OF gutta
percha fuse. The implement is supposed
to be filled with an explosive similar to
that in the bombs. Ten or fifteen feet OF
fuse lay beside the bombs. 1t was filled
with powder and burned rapidly, with a
kissing, sputtering noise like the fuse of a
fire cracker. but was somewhat larger. An
old, rusty, needle-fire revolver OF q French
pattern and a box OF large percussion caps
complete.
A p~aper-bound pamphlet, with saffron
colored cover, and printed in German, in
structed the owner how to make bombs
and other implements containing Gyna-
mite and other explosives. The book told
in detail the method OF making and using
poisons. It's author is Johann Most.
Lieut.. Blettner, one of the policemen who
made the find, says he has no doubt that
Komnes shot Friedman and Barowsky,
and about twenty policemen are looking
for him. 1t is thought that he is in hiding
among his socialist friends. His boarder
and partner, whose name the police refuse
to disclose, is confined at the Twelfth street
station. The partner is a socialist, also,
and attended the meetings of the group on
Blue Island avenue. He is a one-armed
man, and made the rounds with Komnes
in his peddling business.

1he Blair Blu Has Fetc Friends ia the Conn
nsittee.
Washington dispatch: A determined ef-
fort WA made to-day by the friends of the
Blair educational bill to secure some action
on that or a kindred measure at the hands
OF the house committee on education. Last
Monday Mr.. Wise introduced an educa-
tional bill which was referred to the COM
znittee. At the meeting to-day, by unani-
nous consent the proceedings OF the last
meeting (when the consideration of the en-
tire subject was postponed until the latter
part OF April) were reconsidered and the
subject WAS reopened. Burns moved that
consideration OF all the educational bills be
postponed until the third Friday in April.
Willis moved as a substitute that the Blair
bill be considered next Friday. That mo-
ton was lost by q vote OF 4 to Z. Mr..
Willis then moved that the Blair bill be
considered on the third Friday in April,
with the understanding that a vote should
be taken after a daily discussion of not
more than six days. This motion was
also lost and as Il final effort to secure an
expression of the sense OF the committee
on the subject Mr.. Willis moved that the
committee agree to report on the educa-
tional bill. That proposition was also
voted down. 1t is now the intention of
the friends of the Blair bill TO 60 to the
house armed with the resolutions voted
down to-day and ask to have the commit
tee discharged from further consideration
OF the bill.

POLITICAL NEWS IND NOTES.

The fact hat Senator Malone OCCASION
ally gives republican dinners and does not
invite Senator Riddleberger is attracting
notice in Washington.
Senator Logan has made a. contract to
write a series OF articles on "reminiscences
of the Late War for the National Tribune
of Washington. The first article will ap-
pear in April.
Senator Evarts, when a 10y, lived in
Pinckney street. Boston. A schoolmate
saws OF him that he vas q lank, ~ungainly
rough and tumble games of the registering
schoolboys.
The Ohio house of representatives has re-
fused to give women the right to vote for
members of school boards, but the Rhode
Island louise of representatives has pro-
vided for submitting a female suffrage on
stitutional amendment to the people.
Gen. Hamlin's boom for the republican
nomination for governor OF Maine has been
somewhat obscured of late by booms for
other candidates, but his supporters con-
sole themselves with the reflection that it is
never safe to say that u Hamlin is beaten.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press thinks the
presidents office would be more dignifed
if it were stripped OF the burden OF dis
pensing patronage. 1t favors placing the
appointing power solely with the heads of
departments.
Gen. Rosecrans' chief cause OF dissatis-
faction with his office is said to be the mod
crate size of the salary. The generals pa
triotism should enable him to overlook
this objection. Think OF the honor!
The vindictive feeling against Mr.. Ed
munds which existed in Vermont is said to
nave passed away, and a large majority OF
the republicans of the state are TO- de-
cidedly in favor OF his reelection.
The Tennessee republican convention to
nominate a candidate for governoris called
for Aug. 10.
The Richmond State estimates the white
vote Of the state at 173,433, and the col
ored vote at 115, 62S.

PROCEEDINGS IN ExECUTITE SESSION

Two letters from Secretary Manning were
read in executive session on the 23d declin-
ing to furnish papers in the cases OF Collec-
tor Wells, of Vermont, and Surveyor Hor-
ton, OF San Francisco, both suspended.
Senator Logan caused to be read a letter
written several months ago by John Oberly,
chairman of the democratic state commit
tee OF Illinois, charging that ex-Postmaster
Palmer, of Chicago, was an offensive parti-
san. Gen. Logan asked that the letter be
printed and referred to the committee on
civil service reform. 1t is understood to be
his purpose to show that Palmer al not
an offensive partisan.

NINETY HOURS WITHOUT 4 VERDICT.

HOLSTER (Cal.) dispatch: The jury in
the case of j. T. Prewett, charged with the
murder OF DR.. Powers, September II, 1885,
after being out ninety hours, were dis
charged to-day, being unable to agree. The
trial has created intense excitement over
the entire coast. The testimony showed
that DR.. Powers was hanged to a tree to
create the appearance OF lynching. A num-
Der of others, who were charged with par
ticipating in the murder, were released by
consent of the prosecution with the hope
OF inducing them to turn states evidence.
On their refusal to testify, they were sent
to jail for contempt, where they are still
confined

Outrage BY MASKED MEN.

The residence occupied by Joe Horner in
the suburbs of Keokuk, Iowa, was
burned on the 25th. Horner
claims that three masked men en-
tered the house, gagged and bound him,
and, after pouring coal oil on the furni-
ture, fired it. They left, saying: You can't
give us away" The door was left slightly
Open. Horner rolled out to the front gate,
where his groans attracted the neighbors.
He had a struggle with the men, whose
masks came OFF. All were strangers. 1t is
not known whether the motive was rob-
berry or revenge. Horner had had trouble
with his wife, and she is now at Memphis,
Mo.

FIRED AT THE WHOLE FAMILY.
Il D1ssosrsfe Father Shoots at His Wife, Son
and Daughter.

es~
Loup City special to the Omaha Bee:
Yesterday our town was thrown into d
fever OF excitement over the news that a
man named George A. Callen had shot his
vile, son and daughter, who reside in the
western portion OF this county. In this age
OF tragedies OF course full credence vas
given to the report. Later in the evening,
however, when the would-be murderer was
brought to town, the true state OF facts
were found to be as follows: Callen, who
had been keeping aloof from his family for
some years, returned rom Omaha that
morning, and after eating breakfast in his
unwelcome home declared war by shooting
his wife through the left breast, putting a
bullet through his sons ear. and by send
ing a deadly missive dancing along the scalp
of his d lighter. He fired several other
shots without effect. In the meantime the
son grabbed a friendly shotgun and held the
old man at bay until assistance arrived.
The mother is~seriously wounded. but hopes
are entertained of her recovery. The
theory is that the VIZ tch intended to muir
der the entire family and then Kill himself.
ANOTHER VERSION OF THE AFFAIR.
Last night the stage-driver from Lees
Park brought the news of what will prob
ably prove a fatal shooting affair which
occurred near that place. The particulars,
as stated by him, are as follows: On a
farm about two miles this side of Lees
Park lived George Collin and family, con-
sisting OF a son, aged Is, and a daughter,
aged IS. The father is q hard drinker, and
Tuesday last some trouble arose, the par
t~iculars OF which we did not Iearn. This
exasperated him and he shot his wife
through the left side. and not satisfied with
this murderous work beat her over the
he d with a club and left her for dead. He
then turned on his children and fired three
shots, one of which clipped the boys ear
and another grazed the girls temple. The
plucky boy grappled with his father,
knocked him down with a club, and sue
ceeded in binding him before assistance ar
rived. Collin was brought to this city and
locked up, and a physician sent to attend
the wounded lady. At lastreports she was
still alive, but no hope for her recovery.
Collin has long had a bad reputation.
Some time ago his family made complaint
that they were in fear of their lives. but no
attention was paid to them. Talk of
lynching is freely INDUCED in.

BURLINGTON TROUBLES SETTLED.

Vice President Potter OF the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad, the different
division superintendent OF that system,
and all master mechanics OF the road met
in Chicago with Chief Arthur OF the Broth
arhood Of Locomotive Engineers, and thir-
teen delegates, representing 80 engineers
on the Burlington system, to adiudicate
differences. The meeting was somewhat
prolonged, but those interested said con-
illusions were reached without difficulty.
4 revised schedule OF wages was agreed up
the terms OF which it was agreed should
not be published until the details were fully
prepared. Out OF nearly 500 different
runs on the Burlington system, about
fifty have been changed, and the rate OF
wages equalized. Messrs- Potter and Ar
thur both express themselves well pleased
with the result OF the compromise.

SIX HORSETHIETEs ExTERMIN4TED.

A report that reached Bismarck, D. T.,
says that a party OF cowboys came upon q
number OF horsethieves in the timber on
the river bank about one hundred miles
north of Bismarck, and after the exchange
OF several shots the thieves attempted to
escape. Charles Braddock and Jack
O'Brien, two outlaws. were killed in the
fight on the river ban Tx. Four OF the thieves
reached the river and rode out on the ice,
hoping to escape. Two OF the horses broke
through the ice and, with their riders, were
swept away. The two o-her thieves re-
turned to the bank and surrendered. It is
probable they will be lynched cowboy
fashion.

CRIED By LOVE IND LIQUOR.
John Ctemer Shoots HIS Sweetheart and Puts
o. Ball Into HIS Brain.

Chicago dispatch: John Clemer, q Ger
man broom-maker, tried to kill his sweet
heart. Julia Fisher, last night, and proDa-
bly, succeeded in winding up his earthly ex
i~stence. Julia is a servant girl. She met
CleIner about q year ago and, alter q short
courtship, they became engaged. Later on
he became addicted to drink, and has car
ried his unfortunate habit 20 such n degree
that the young woman finally broke the
engagement. Last night he called at her
home under the influence OF liquor, and
asked for a private interview with
and the brothers also objected. Ciemer
pleaded SO hard, however, that in
order to avoid a scene the girl finally
consented and conducted him to a room
upstairs. A short time afterward the
brother who remained below, heard two
loud reports OF a pistol in quick success
sion. An officer heard the firing at the
same time, and rushing into the house,
met the brother on his way upstairs. Both
assembled, and, bursting in the door OF the
room, found Clemer lying on the floor, his
head resting in a pool of blood from a
wound over the right eye, and apparently
dead. Julia was lying on the bed, blood
oozing from a hole in her left side near the
fifth rib, caused by Clemer's pistol.
After an examination it was thought
that Clemer could not possibly survive.
Julia was more fortunate, the bullet
g~lancing on a rib and inficting only a flesh
wound, which, though painful, will in all
probability not result fatally.
