The 'sFunny'' Trick of Connections Col
Iege Student Ends DlsastrOusly.
NEW MIDDIETowN, Conn.,, Feb "a
About midnight Thursday the inmates of
the North College building at Wesleyan
were aroused by an explosion which shook
every beam and rafter in the building and
called to mind the blowing up of the Park
Central at Hartford. The report could be
heard in every quarter Of the town. The
explosion was caused by dynamite bomb
thrown by some foolhardy student in the
fourth floor of the building. 1t shattered
doors and windows, tore hole down
through two floors and knocked out sever
al yards of plastering. IN observatory
hall the same outrage was perpetrated.
only with greater effect The halls Of both
buildings are filled with plaster, wood,
glass, etc, in such quantities that it seems
impossible a dynamite cartridge could
have made such havoc.
The worst feature of it all is the acci-
dent to N. c. Hubbard, son of ex-Con-
gresham Hubbard, of West Virginia.
After the explosion in North college,
young Hubbard ventured out of his room
to ascertain the cause of the racket He
was no sooner in the hall than he saw
small missile lying on the floor near the
door and picked it up. 1t was dynamite
cartridge or bomb and it Immediately ex-
plDded in his hand. The palm of his right
maud was terribly lacerabSQ5 MS oy yes
badly cut and pieces entered his abdomen.
1t must have exploded with terrible force,
as it threw fragments of his flesh all
around. When the injury to Mr.. Hubbard
became known several physicians were
summoned and they deemed his condition
so serious as to warrant his removal to
the hospital at New Haven, where four
fingers of the injured hand were ampu-
tated. 1t is barely possible that his hand
may be saved.
The college officials promise that if the
perpetrators are caught they will be
handed over to the State authorities. Most
of the students are inclined to place the
responsibility on members of the fresh
man class, For a great number of years
it has been customary for the freshmen to
usher in Washington's birthday with some
peculiar piece of deviltry, and each class
was striving to outdo the other in the OBJ
servance of the custom. On Wednesday
morning President Vlan Week gave the
students veny earnest talk on the OBJ
servance of Washington's birthday. He
told them the faculty had no objection to
a dignifed observance of the day, but
cautioned them against doing any thing
to cast discredit upon the University.

A TOPEKA FIRE.

The Large Printing and Publishing House
of George w. Crane s. Co., Totally De-
stroYed.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 2S.-The George w.
Crane printing establishment, the largest
publishing house in the State, was de-
stroyed by fire yesterday morning at six
O'Clock, being the most destructive fire
which has ever visited Topeka.
The fire was discovered by the engineer.
BY the time the fire department arrived
the central portion Of the building was on
fire from the basement to the third floor,
the elevator shaft having afforded a hue
for the flames. 1t was several degrees be-
low zero at the time and bitter gale was
blowing and although the entire fire de-
partment of the city was out they could
do nothing to check the flames In less
than an hour the establishment was burned
to the ground, but by effective work of
the fire department the adjoining build
ings were saved.
The building, owned by Owen Keith,
was erected about a year ago and was the
finest block in the city. The loss is $40, :
600, with S24, 900 insurance.
The Crane Company's loss in stock, ma
terial, law books, presses, type, etc, is
about $225, 900, with an insurance of $50. :
600.
In the vault on the first floor are stored
the electro plates of the Kansas Supreme
Court report and other legal publications,
which are valued at $75, 900. The vault can
not be reached and it is impossible to tell
what the injury is to these plates, but if
they have not been melted by the intense
heat the company's loss Will not be SO
heavy.
1t is claimed there was not spark of
fire in the building, and the old theory of
spontaneous combustion is the only ex-
planation that can be given.
The total insurance was S74,000 which
is held by the Westchester, of New Hamp-
shire; Fireman's, of Dayton; Northwest
ern National, of Milwaukee; Germania, of
New York; Anglo-Nevada, of California
Concordia, of Wisconsin, and Fire Asso-
citation, of Philadelphia. One hundred
and seventy five persons are thrown out

The Bloodhound.

From an article in the Century We
quote the following: "Some few years
ago the idea of the use of bloodhounds
for detective purposes was mooted in the
daily papers, and the howl of horror ut
the barbarity of such proceeding that it
raised from the uniformed was most
amusing to those who know the tractabil-
ity of the bloodhound. He was associated
with the tales of slavc-hunting in uncle
Toms Cabin and 'Dred,' and was sup.
posed to be n fcrocious monster, endowed
with witch-lilc attributes, and capable
of pursuing his victim successfully under
any conditions until caught, when he
would certainly tear him limb from limb.
'"rhc horrible murders committed in
the East End of London last year and the
complete future of the police to trace the
perpetrator of these outrages were the
means of calling attention once more to
the qualifications of this old time detcc-
tive. The daily papers were filled with
letters advocating his use; but, from the
thoroughly impractiblc nature of many of
these cpistles, fear that the change in
public opinion was due more to strong
desire for vengeance on an exceptionally
loathsomc miscreant than to increased
knowledge ofthc disposition of the blood
hound. At one time the police received
about 1900 letters daily containing various
suggestions. and of these, some 400 pro-
posed the use of bloodhounds. Some of
the newspaper correspondents seemed to
believe that the police had only to take a
bloodhound of any kind to the place
where murder had been committed
weeks or months before, and the animal
would at once scent out the trail of the
murderer in preference to thousands of
others and infallibly run the man down.
''In the beginning of October l was
consulted by Sir Charles Warren, then
the Chief Commissioner of Metropolitan
Police, as to the feasibility of employing
bloodhounds to track the Whitechapel
murderer, and after some correspondence
L took two hounds up to London to ex-
pertinent with. We ran them repeatedly
in the parks for the information of police
authorities and various representatives of
the press, and sufficiently demonstrated
the facts that the hounds will run man
who is Il complete stranger to them, that
when they have come up to their man
they will not modest him in any way, and
that although the line may be crossed by
Others they will not change. While in
London never ran them without the line
OF the hunted man being crossed (often
by quite number of people,, but the
hounds never once changed. They could
carry the line across and for short way
along the gravel paths in the parks, but
the experiments made on the London
stones could not be considered as salts
factory rs we should have wished. Hunt
ing the clean boot on IL London pavement
is, believe, the most severe test that any
hound can be put to, and will of course
require special and careful training"

great drove of hogs, all of which had lost
their tails. He inquired how this had
happened, and the farmer said the caudel
appendages had been amputated, and
when it was asked why this was done he
was told that it was to prevent the ami

The farmer stated that the soil on bis
