Brook citizens are in Il state of mind over a
mysterious dynamite scare. Saturday night
a freight car labelled poison but con-
tanning hundreds of pounds of ni]tro-glycer-
inc and Fuller's earth combination, stand
ing on a side-track, was broken open and
all the dynamite was stolen. Sunday morn
ing bits of paper were found on tho
streets inscribed with such fiery ex.
pressions as: ''This town will be blown
up! Beware" and Your Judgment houl
has come.' A few Of the cans of dynamite
have been scattered about in various parts
of the city. Ono yard contained tifteer
cans of the stuff. Much is still missing
Many are inclined to treat the scare as ;
joke of the thieves. Others take the
threats seriously. All, however, arc
worried over the frequency of robbcrics il
the village. TIL postoficc, which wa.
robbed only four nights ago, was also dis.
turbed last night.

tist preacher, was convicted of dis
turbing public worship and using obscene

attended by n number Of ladies who were
not member of the church. One day Over

licvc his teaching and join his church in
unmcasurcd terms, applying to them the

in the church. the gentlemen relations n
friends of the insulted ladies trying to mob
the preacher. The riot broke up the meet
ing and owen was warned never to preach
in the ncighborhood again.

was left in this way. but when her little
playratcs returned to the spot they found
the bank had caved and buried her in the
hole. When she was extracted life was ex-
tinct. The. body was taken to the home of

The eating Ordinance Company.

The Gatling Ordnance Company.
1t is Gtated that thsxe is possibility Of
the establishment OF the works of the
Gat!ing Ordnance Company in this city
or vicinity. Parties representing the COM
rany were here yesterday week, but did
nothing beyond general look around.
The stockholders own all tha patents Of
DR.. r. j. Gatling for making steel guns
in this country and in Europa. The
company was chartered in West Virginia
last summer with capital OF
81 600 900, with power TO increase it to
SIS, 600 900. II is stated that Of
the @120,000 needed 20 establish the
plant, about one fifth has already been
subscribed. Prominent New York capital
lists are interested in the concern. Should
the plant for the manufacture Of steel
guns be located hers, it would be ex.
pected that local capitalists interest
themselves in it. The prospects are that
Congress will make large appropriations
for steel gun manufacture, which the
Gatling Ordnance Company is ready to
meet.
