cellar of his residence the other day
and unearthed 167 bars of lead, each
weighing fifteen ounces. The house
is built on the ruins of an old fort that
was erected as defense agaln1t In

the lead was intended for bullets.

IT is great thing for any man to MI his
place in the world. 1t matters less where
mans placeis than that mans place be
filed, wherever it is. The lowest place
well filed is more creditable to the man
who occupies it than would be the highest
place poorly filled. And, indeed, no placs
in the world car be so good for any man as
the place which God assigns to him as his
place-S. s.. Times.

afforded by the loose benches standing in the Church.
The pew rent is to be paid haf-yearly, namely on the Both

paid within 3 months after the day on which it has become due,
the right of using the pew is to be considered as gwen up by the

party of pew rent already due and for the current quarter, being,
at the same time, reserved. In the event of the death OF a pew
renter, the Chulch's clam against his estate for pew rent due, and
for the current hafyear is to be made without delay; the pewS as
a rule, are to be rented by the year, from the lst OF january to the
3lst of December, but may be given up by the renter either on the
Both of June or on the 3st of December, not, however, with less
than 3 months notice, which must therefore be given before the LIST
of April or the 1st of October.
A new renter coming in during the course OF the year has to
pay only for the current hafyear.
1t is the duty of the persons concerned to see that vacant
pews are rented as soon as possible.

A DYNAMITE PLOT

Unearthed at Chicago-Plans Perfected
by Anarchists to Attack the 80" Rail.
road Property.
CHICAGO July Ca dynamite plot was
unearthed in this city yesterday, where
possibilities of destruction would rival the
HaymaTket massacre. Three men were ar
rested with the explosives in their posses
sion and under circumstances which war
rant the charge ag inst them of conspirine
to destroy the property of the Burlington
road.
Since the strike of the engineers, the Bur
lington road has had large force OF detec-
tives engaged in watching the movements
of the strikers, and several "Agitstors''
have been put under special surveillance.
1t IS said dynamite has been used in sever
al unsuccessful attempts to wreck trains
within the past month and those suspected
have been closely watched. Positive infor-
nation is said to have been received yester-
day of contemplated concerted attack
upon the company's property, includ-
ing trains aud depot property and
it is believed Mr.. Stones office
was marked for annihilation. Acting
upon information given them warrants
were sworn out and Deputy Marshal
Burchard proceeded with them to Aurora,
in company with Assistant Superintendent
McGinty of Pinkerton's force, with detec-
tive. Their men were located and shadowed
to the 2:l5 afternoon train. Thomas
Broderice and ]. A. Bowles. two Brother
hood ex-engineers of the Burlington, in
company with stranger were seen to
board the train. The train had barely
started when the men were placed under
arrest. They made no resistance Under
their coats and lying on the seat between
Broderek and the third man, whose
name, proved to be Wilson, was package
which when examined later WAS found to
contain four dynamite cartridges, each con-
tanning about a pound of dynamite. When
arrested one of them threw a letter from
the car window. which was found, and in
addition 10 other letters and papers, is now
in the hands of District Attorney Ewing.
The men were brought to this city and
taken before Commissioner Hoyne, who
held them in 5000 bonds each for examin-
alton of the 18th inst. They declare they
know nothing of any plot

The Ohio State Journal gives seven good
reasons, in just column of matter, why
Harrison will elected. Briefly. they are:
l. The democratic party has shown its
unworthiness. and thousands of nominal
democrats, therefore, want change.
Ii. In 1884 the democrats carried New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and In
diana by promises of reform and
pretenses that they were better pro-
tectionisls than the republicans.
None of the promises have been full
filled, and the democrats are out, fat
footed land fiatter-headed. let the REPUB-
LIc suggest) for free trade.
Ill. The efforts of the prohibitionists to
kill the republican party have proved a
failure. They now draw what recruits
they get from the democratic ranks.
The fourth and fifth reasons we give, in
full, as follows:
". The square issue joined between the
republican and democratic parties has al
ready had the effect TO disintegrate the
labor party. and eight-tenths of its member
ship will vote the republican ticket in No
vember. That. of itself, will be sufficient
70 wipe out the democratic pluralties of
1884 In New York, Connecticut and lndi
ana. The McGlynns and Georges and
other self-appointed leaders of the work
ingmen will not have sufficient influence
this year to induce American artisans and
lsborers to throw away their votes.
v, The Floating vote" when east in one
direction, is always sufficient to insure vic
tory to the party receiving it, Cleveland
got the bulk of that vote in 1854. This
year he will get very little of it outside the
large cities where 1t is measurably con-
trolied by ''boodle." Nine-tenths of the
really independent vote will float to
Harrison and Morton.
vi. The adoption of free trade by Cleve-
land and the ST. Louis convention viii drive
thousands of protection democrats out of
the party.
VII. There is strong probability that
the solid south will be disrupted by the tar
III ps. free trade issue.
The Journals article closes as follows:
The conditions are not the same now as
fn 1884. Then the drift and the float were
toward the democratic party. and in some
respects toward republican disintegration.
Now sll of that is reversed. However,
there should be no relaxation in republican
eifort. The majority should be oyerwhelm-
ing.
