mite Bomb.
A number of school children found a
bomb loaded with dynamite near the
school house on the Galloway farm
near Franklin, Penn, few days since.
While attempting to open 1t with knife
it exploded with terrible results. Two OF
the children, named Fitzgerald and Roger,
were fatally hurt, while eight others arc in

posed to have been made by some one foi
the purpose of killing fish.

Prohibition In tho North.

Sensational telegrams were sent out
from Bismarck setting forth that Mr..
Goodkind, the Wholesale liquor dealer, had
discovered that the letter of the law had
not been complied with, and that prohibi-
ton had not carried in North Dakota after
all, be ause the clause received less than q
majority of oil votes cast upon the balance
of the constitution. As o matter Of fact,
however, the prohibition clause did re-
ceiye over 800 more than a majority of the
total vote cast upon the adoption or rejec-
ton of the constitution.

An order from the territorial supreme
court, dismissing Aberdeens appeal in the
Erown county seat matter, has been served
on the county commissioners. 1t directed
the records to be removed to Columbia,
which was done No opposition was Of
fered by Aberdeen. The county seat will
necessarily remain there until next fall,
when it can be removed to Aberdeen by .
majority vote under the provisions Of the
state constitution It is the opinion of
leading attorneys that the removal to Co.
lnmbla will invalidate this years tax sale,
which was advertised for Aberdeen, the
county seat, November 4. As the county
seat is now at Columbia, and the sale was
advertised at Aberdeen, a legal question
arises which may make the sale void.
Sixteen teams conveyed the county rec
ords to Columbia. where they were met by
happy populace out in great numbers.
In the afternoon and evening general
praise meeting was indulged in together
with grand banquet in the evening.

South Dakota's Action All Right

The action of Gov. Mel!ette in conven-
ing the legislature Of south Dakota pre-
vious to issuance Of the presidents procla-
nation has created considerable comment
as to the effect upon the state. Reports
from Washington indicate, however, that
President Harrison Is Of the opinion that
there could be no objection made If the
legislature proceeded to the transaction of
any business for the state, with the ercep-
ton Of making appropriations. The as
made out and only awaits settlement, Of
Montana difficulties is gratifyingt and ere.
ates belief that the next few days will
bring forth the document, as the presi.
dents sense Of justice will not permit him
to keep three states in suspense to accom-
modate one.

ANNUAL CHURCH MEETING.

1t Will be an Interesting occasion.
 The annual church meeting of the Church of the Redeemer deferred from the usual time owing to the recent absence of the pss- tor, Rev. Dr. Todd, in California, has been appointed for next Thursday evening. and will be like the one held last year, red let- ter occasion to the people of the church.
 Usually Congregational church meetings are attended mostly by the male members, and even then with the feminine element absent or sparsely represented. Some of these church meetings prove very interesting, especially to members who take lively interest in the church and the work of the church and are not deprived through necessary engagements from attending. The church meeting next | Sunday evening, it is probable that there will ! be big attendance, not only of the male ! members, but of the ladies and the young folks as we'll. It is intended that 1t shall bs ! in one sense family gathering at which the I young as well as the older members of tn, congregation will be present. A fine supps ] will be served, abundant and tempting, aftel the discussion of which the annual churef reports will be read. By this method an in terest in the work and prosperity of tn

west Chapel street Change.

The statement published in one paper to the effect that MT. F. B. Mallory intended to extend Beers street through his property on West Chapel street to George street is erron- eous. The change soon to be made by MT. Mallory is to divide his property into two lots. It has a frontage on West Chapel street of 1S5 feet His residence Is so built that 1t can be divided into two buildings. One ot these he will move upon the east portion to- wards Orchard street, and after improving it will reside in it.

 The Samoan Question Will be Brought
 Up-Olher Matters Probably to be
 Discussed.
 WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 27.-This week promises to be one of debate in the Senate. Rapid progress was made last week with the appropriation bills, leaving only three consul lar and diplomatic bills pending of the four that were reported. They will come up tomorrow, and the amendments proposed by the foreign relations committee providing to defend and protect American interests in Samoa will form the subject of lively dis sion. It may be, however, that these amendments will be considered in secret ses- sion On Tuesday, under an order of the Senate, the British extradition treaty is to be discussed in executive session.
 Some progress has been made with MT. Sherman's trust bill as amended by the finance committee and the author will en- deavor to press it to vote. Then MT. Frye is expected to call up the Pacific railroad funding bill and make aspeech on it. Messrs. Edmunds, Hoar, Sherman and Mitchell are also expected to address the Senate on this measure. Mir. Chandler's resolution to ip- vestigate the Louisiana election is also pend  will probably precipitate political debate that will last several days.
 Armed with the sundry civil appropriation bill, which was not completed last week, Mr. Randall in the House will probably de- prive the District of Columbia committee on Monday, to which it is entitled under the rules. If he does not, several other members in charge of important measures stand ready to do it. Prominent among these is MT. Clar- dy, who has undertaken to conduct the con- ference report on the Nlcarsguan canal bill through the House and is waiting an oppor- tunity to present it without encountering the opposition of one or the committees in charge of appropriation bills. The Oklohoma adherents have signi6ed their intention to call up their bill Tuesday, and ss MT. Pay- son and other members antagonistlc to the measure are preparing themselves for vigor- ous onslaught, lively day may be expected If the bill comes up.
 Later in the week appropriation bills are likely to play an important part, and when the naval bill is taken up an entertaining dis cussion on Samoan matters will probably ensue. Mir. Crisp is preparing to call up the pending contested election cases during the week, but while they constitute questions of the highest priv ilege, it is possible that MT. Blanchard may raise the question of consideration against them in favor of the river and harbor appro- priation bill, which will probably meet with stronger support than hithertofore, as mem- bers begin to realize it's precarious position. The Edwunds Panama resolutions are also among the probabilities, but it's consideration can occupy but one day.

Fiftieth Congress-Second Session
THE TARIFF BILL RECEIVED.


 THE TARIFF BILL RECEIVED.
 HoUsE.-The Speaker laid before the House to-day the Mills tariff bill with the Senate substitute therefor, together with the request of the Senate for a conference.
 MT. Reed of Maine moved to concur in the Senate substitute. MT. McMillin of Tennes- see raised the point of order that the substi tute must first be considered in committee of the whole, and Mir. Mills of Texas the point that it must be referred to the committee on ways and means. Mir. Reed advocated the immediate consideration of the Senate meas- ure, as it was very desirable that it should be put in the way of passage.
 MT. Mills of Texas said that in pursuance of it's constitutional power the House had made rule requiring all bills of this nature to be considered in committee of the whole. Now it WAS proposed, in violation of the rules of the House, that the House should agree to committee of conference and pass this ex- traordinary measure at a time when the cof- fers of the government were loaded with ex- cessive revenue, at 8 time when the people were grooming under excessive taxation-a bill to increase the revenue by increasing the burden of the people for private purposes. MT. Mills and MT. McMillin submitted the points of order which they held in reserve, and the Speaker decided that under the rules the bill must be referred to the committee on ways and means, so the bill with the Senate amendment went to the committee on ways and means.

 BROOKLYN, N. Y., Jan. 27.-No attempt was made to run cars on the Atlantic Aven- ue company lines to-day, and all was quiet among the strikers. Henry W.

These men, Moses Stenson, John Collier and Herman Graham, were arrested on suspicion. They denied having used violence, but said that Adams had become frightened and had run to the doorway and either jumped or fell out. They will be held to await the result of an autopsy on Adams body.

Miscellaneous.
The Directory for Nurses,

Now well advanced in the third year of it's existence, has received the confidence and patronage of the public far beyond we had any reason to expect for new enterprise.
 Hundreds of Nurses have been sent to as many sick rooms, and the fact that, with rare exceptions, entire satisfaction has been given all parties, is sufficient proof that the selections have been judicious. Generally the calls for Nurses have been answered promptly, but in sickly seasons the demand has been greater than the Directory could supply. Upwards of a hundred names are on our register, representing the majority of the best nurses in this city and vicinity, both graduates of the Training School and others.
 When the calls are for Trained Nurses, only those are sent who are graduates Of recognized schools and have had experience in the private sick room since leaving the Hospital.
 But, bearing in mind the fact that many cannot afford the expense and not every in- valid requires the special skill of the Trained Nurse we have on our books the names of many desirable nurses who have devoted their lives to the care of the sick, and who are in every respect competent to perform the duties they undertake and for compen- sation below what the services of the Grad- usted Nurses will generally command. It Is the object of the Directory to supply promptly competent nurses, both male and female, for any case which may present, and one within the means of the applicant. The fee for furnishing Nurse is small and much valuable time and expense will be saved by consulting the Directory when a nurse is needed, either in emergency or for future service.
 Any information in regard to nurses will be furnished and all calls by telegraph, mail or telephone will receive prompt attention by E. |. Washburn, N. D., Registrar,

MOORE NOE THE ONLY SWINDLER Others GouEe the Connecticut Mutual
 Company.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-A special to the Trib-
 une from Indianapolis says: Since it has
 been asoertained that the half million dol lars that Joseph A. Moore stole from the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company
 was lost in speculation in New York, inter-
 est is centered in the question ss to how it
 was possible for him to conceal his stealings
 from the company for nine years and get ten
 per cent of the entire surplus fund before
 being discovered. The late developments
 show that not only Moore, but men who were
 in his employ were, with his knowledge, do- ing a little stealing on their own account.
 When property. owned by the company was repaired or improved. they would ar range with the contractor for the work to add fifteen to twenty-five per cent. to the bill which would be deducted by them from the payments, and in this way many thousands of dollars were secured, of which it is impos. sible for the company to new fad any trace
