Work ofan Anarchist.
Bv Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, January 81
Shortly after midnight Wednesday
night an attempt was made to blow
up the residence of Rev. Father Fleck-
niger, of st. Joseph's Roman Catholic
church, of Mansfield. with dynamite.
A cartridge had been placed in the
cellar, to which was connected a fuse
running to the outside of the
building, from where it was
lighted. 1t is supposed the
object was to kill Father Flechinger,
and he says he believes the attempt
was the work of anarchists. The
walls of the residence are damaged to
considerable extent, and all the
windows were shattered The floor
of the parlor is badly torn up, and all
the furniture in the room was reduced
to kindling wood. The report of the
explosion was heard two miles away,
and the conclusion aroused all the in
habitants of Mansfield, many of whom
turned out in night clothes.

Forging Ailcnd.

The addition to the blacksmith shop
ar the machine works promises the
most substantial results to that i'm.
portant industrial center. A great
deal of work in that line is now being
done at the blacksmith shop, which
in connection with the other depart
ments, will make a magnificent show
ing in the car-building at the proper
time. The machine works have a
heavy task before them in assisting
the Norfolk and Western railroad to
make substantial additions to their
running stock, and when everything
is done which the managers OF the
road contemplate, the showing will
be a grand one indeed.

what is Said of Roanoke.

The staff correspondent of the
Lynchburg Virginian in speaking OF
Roanoke says
1t is still booming and there are
surface indications of repetition OF
last springs real estate excitement.
This speculation, and the holding
of lots at big prices may help the
citv in way, but II some OF the va
cant lots in the central portion of
Roanoke were sold and filled up with
handsome buildings the change
would add much to the attractive
ness of the place. On the principal
streets ther care many gaps, and the
invariable reply to the interrogatory
WHY is this" is BLANK lis holding
it for $4,000" and "Blank will
not sell forany price" This has not,
however, retarded the growth OF the
city, and there are streets built up
fully mile in length. Some big and
very handsome buildings have been
erected lately and others are to
follow.

South Carolina Coupons.

Dy AssOCIdLcu IcSS.
CHARLESTON, S. c., January 81
Judge Bond, of the United States
Circuit Court, has instructed Receiv-
err Chamberlain, of the South Carolina
Railway, to tender coupons of the
South Carolina State bonds, known
as green bonds, for taxes of the South
Carolina Railway for the year 1889,
The taxes amount to S1S,400. The
green bonds we're declared invalid by
the bonds commissioners of the State
in 1877. The tender of coupons for
taxes was refused by the State fiscal
officers, and the State will probably
endeavor to enforce its claim for taxes.
An injunction will then be taken out
in the United States Circuit Court
until the validity or invalidity of the
green bonds shall have been deter
mined by the United States Supreme
Court

CHICAGO, January 3l.-lt leaked
out yesterday that one of the Western

a way as to cut the passenger rate to
Denver. The regular fare from Chi
cago to Denver is $30.G5, and there is
no second-class fare to that point.
But there is a second-class fare to
Ogden, Utah, which is s37.
The prospective passenger to Den
yer is induced to buy a secoud-c'ass
ticket to Ogden and pay $50 for it,
at the same time receiving rebate
order on the Denver office OF the
