An attempt was made Saturday night
to blow up the popular Switchback restaur-
ant and residence Of George Huntzinger, of
Summit Hill. A quantity of dynamite
was fastened 10 the knob ofthe front door
and exploded with terrific force, badly
wrecking the trout of the building. For
tunately none of the occupants of the
building, who were asleep at the time of
the explosion, were injured, although
fragments OF glass and plaster were thrown
on their beds. Several adjoining buildings
were also damaged, and the noise aroused
the whole town. There are number of
reasons given as to what prompted the
dastardly deed, but they are without founda-
tion. George bad gang of carpenters
put TO work at once cleaning up the debris

as briskly as ever.
"A Mauch Chunk writer to the Phiadel-
phia Euening Herald says; Carbon county
has mere politics to the square inch than
any in the State. This is particularly true
on the Democratic side, because it has a
Democratic majority, and under the Con-
gressional district, the banner Democratic
district of the State. Each county of the
district-Northanpton, Carbon, Monroe
and Pike-has some patriots who are ear
nestly desrous of fserving their constituents,
and writing NJ. c. after their names in the
future, Northampton will present Mutch-
Ter, Monroe will urge Storm. and Pike has
Rowland or Van Auken, while Carbon has
not made up its mind. But the probabili-
ty is that her "fayorite SOM will be Klotz,
who is one Of the shrewdest and most ad-
roit politicians In the State. This is the
prevailing opinion. In the event of Klotz
being supported in the conference by Mon.
roe, Pike and Carbon, and Mutchler by
Northampton 1t will not be a surprise ii
the outcome will be that both candidates
will appeal for final decision to the voters
Of the district.
