immense charge of dynamite for the pur-
pose. A terrific explosion followed, and
huge pieces Of the anvil were scattered
about in every direction. One piece
weighing 800 pounds, wrecked a house
occupied by Mrs. Mcnamara, one block
distant. Another piece OF over 200 pounds
crashed through the dwelling Of Emil
Erstman, also block away. IL struck a
bed in which three children were sleep

son injured was James Acton, who was
walking on the sidewalk one block away.
He was struck on the leg with fragment
and his limb was so badly injured that
amputatiOn may be necessary. Col. Hob
litzell was arrested for violating a city
ordinance. The explosion caused intense
excitement, as rumOr was current that
a bomb similar to those used at Chicago
had been thrown on the street.

Offers to Secure CIemency IL the Laws
Would be Obeyed Rejected
SALT LAKE CrrY, May 14.-Gov. West
went to penitentiars yesterday to talk
with the polygamous conyIcts there. He
asked if they would be willing TO promise
obedience to the laws il he would use his
influence to hare clemency extended to
them. Apostle Lorenzo Snow said he
would not. He had no confidence in
Judge Zane or United States Attorney
Dickson, whatever he might have in Gov
West. The Governor said he had no right
to talk that way. The officials had no
malice, but we're all kindness. They were
doing their duty, and would join him in ask
ing the clemency of the President for them
If they would submit to the laws and urge
others to do so. Snow said he did not
blame Judge Zane and Attorney Dickson
any more than he did those who perse-
cuted Christ and the early Christians,
but "we are following the command OF
God and cannot give way to the law Of
man.
Gov. West considers that this leaves
not a peg for the MormOns to stand upon In
their claim Of ofpersecutiOn; that President
Cleveland would probably have listened
to recommendations for clemency, but
that the MormOns leave no opportunity
for its exercise.

ST. LOUIS, May 14.-About o'cloc k
tonight the heaviest rain and wind storm
of the year, and perhaps the heaviest

swept on to the eastward. The rain was
almost deluge, and all the streets in
the city were running streams, the water
varying in depth from two TO six i9ches.
All the depressions in the city were
flooded, and cellars and Easements were
partially filled, doing great damage TO
their contents. Specific losses are not OBJ
tainable at this writing, but the general
damage will amount to many thousands of
dollars. The wind seemed TO be a straight
one of high velocity, but so far no mate
rial damage from it has been reported.
The rain was so heavy that it went
through the roof OF the Western
Union Telegraph office Immediately over
the great switch board, aud by wettin <
the insulation of the wires and the cross
ing of currents actually disabled the
Office for a time.

Heavy Losses Around Xenia

PITTsBURG, PA, May IA dispatch
from Xenia, Ohio, says: The destruction
Of property was heavy. Correct figures
are wanting, but 1t is safe to say that the
loss to the city and citizens will reach
$4,000, while the railroads will suf-
fer as much more. Three bridges on
the Little Miami are out and as
much as five miles Of the track is gone.
The first section OF the LIGHTNING express
from Cincinnati reached here all right,
but the next section was caught between
bridges and there IL lays. large
amount of track below Spring Valley is
out and the loss will be $4,000
or more. The Dayton and Ironton
railroad between here and Trebins il
washed out badly, and the Little Miami
track Is in the same condition all the way
To Dayton. The town is tul Of strang-
ers from the blOckaded trains.

JAEHNE's TRIAL.

Witnesses Telling the Well Known Story
of the Doodle Board.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE trial Of AL
derman Jaehne for bribery began this
morning. Francis J. Twomey, Clerk or
the Board of Aldermen, was the first wit
ness.
Clerk Twomey was followed by a news
paper reporter who witnessed the pro-
ceedings of the famous called meeting OF
Aldermen when the Broadway franchise
was passed over the Mayors veto. Ex-
Alderman Waite described the same
meeting, at which he presided, the
events preliminary thereto, and then
Inspector Byrnes took the stand. He
gave history OF his gradually growing
intimacy with Alderman Jaehne. In the
course of which Alderman Jaehne at first
dropped occasional remarks indicating
participation in crooked actions in an
official capacity, and finally talked openly
about bribery, and unbosOmed himself of
the whole story. Inspector Byrnes'
testimony confirms what has become
the accepted belief. that $4,000 was paid
to each OF the thirteen Aldermen who
voted to pass the bill over the veto, and
that the now famous Billy MalOney was
the Intermediary between the railroad
people and the Aldermen and that he paid
the money for the votes.

Taking OF Testimony at st. Louis.
ST, LOUIS, May 1.-THE Curtin Labor
Investigating Committee held its last
session in this city to day and will
leave for Washington tonight. Martin
Irons, Master Workman OF District
Assembly No. 10l, the membership OF
which numbers 5,000men, employed upon
the Missouri Pacific railroad, testified
that the officers of that road ignored the
provisions Of the agreement.and noted IN
stances where the grievances of The EN-
ployes were never considered. The dis
charge of Hall on the Texas Pacific rail
road was the immediate cause OF the
strike. This was not, however, the sole
reason for the strike, but
it was the last OF many
grievances which had made
a strike necessary. He had tried to settle
the affair before the strike, aud had met
Gov. Sheldon, receiver of the road, and
was assured by him that an endeavor
would be made to adjust matters, and he
had told him that Gov Brown would be
at Dallas next day, and thought Mr..
Irons should 90 there ana present his
/. side. the next day he thought IL best
that the receivers come to Marshall,
where the books Of the company were,
and SO telegraphed Gov. Sheldon, but no
answer was received. Another telegram
rect with only the response from the
operator that Gov. sheldon was not in the
Dallas office. He then telegraphed that II
a reply was not received by the next day
he would call ont the men. No answer
came, and he ordered the strike. The
witness recounted the after events of the
strike on the Missouri Pacific, the confer
ence at Kansas City, the Governors at
tomps to settle the strike, Mr.. Hoxie's
action, etc, bring the matter down 10 the
General Executive COmmItteels attempt
to interview MIR. Hoxie, and the means
by which the strike was finally ended.
