ATTACKED A PRIEST
A Second Attempt to Kill Rev.
 Father Kelly of Oneida.
STRUCK WITH A BAR OF IRON,
The Wounded Clergyman Loud Outcrie.
 Fright ened the Assassin.

1he Unknown Assailant Fled In the Dark.
 Weapon-rhe Priest Found Lying in a
 Fool of Biood-lt Is Said that There i.
 Woman In tho Case.
 ONEIDA, N. Y., Jan. 2.-Another attempt to murder Father James A. Kelly. of St. Patrick's Church, this city, was frustrated. The assassin was only prevented from complishins murder by the loud outcries of the wounded man. After striking the first blow he fled in the darkness. This is the second attempt to do away with Father Kelly within three months. Ihe first attempt was by poisoning IEe affair offers no possible solution, in spite of the fact that detectives have been working upon it for some time past. It has been said that there is a woman in the case, but there is nothing In the pastors known associations to confirm the supposition.
 According to the story of the assault, Father Kelly was aroused about 3:3O a. Ill. by summons on his door, He hast lily drew on his clothing and descended to the hallway. In answer to 8 query the stranger outside said that the priests services were desired at death bed, and asked to be admitted. Father Kelly unbolted the door and opened it cautiously to get a glimpse at the stranger. At this jancture the latter threw his weight against the door, fore. ing 1t inward and gaining partial en- trance to the hall. At the same time he struck Father Kelly hard blow on the head with Q heavy instrument. The forcing of the door had prepared him for the attack, and the fact that tho priest saw the blow coming and dodged probably saved his life. If the weapon had struck him squarely his skull would have been crushed. As it was, the blow was glancing one and made an ugly scalp wound.
 Father Kelly grappled with his as- sailant and cried "Murder." The as sassin disengaged himself and took tc his heels.
 In the scuffle he dropped his weapon. Father Kelly, weak from the loss of blood. sank to the floor. There the frightened housekeeper found him. When aroused by the noise she descend. ed to the hall. He was lying across the doorway in a pool of blood. A rod of iron about three feet long and an inch thick lay near him.
 A doctor was at once summoned and the wound dressed. Father Kelly only suffered from nervous prostration and loss of blood. He says he cannot iden tlfy his assailant.

DYNAMITERS' WORK
Repeated Attempts Made to Blow Up an Opera House.
IT WAS CROWDED WITH PEOPLE.
The Building Partially Wrecked and Loss
 of Life Avoided by Good Judgment.

"A Stick of Dynamite Thrown up the
 Stairway and Exploded-Threa Mer Discovered but Fled When Woman
 Screamed Murder-A Stampede Pro. vented by Locking tho Doors PITTsBURG, Pa., Jan. "A double at tempt was made to blow up the Opera House at Millvale,a a suburb of this city, with dynamite. The building was partially wrecked, and only by the ex- ercise of good judgment by the door, keepers was the loss of life avoided
 '2e structure is of brick, three stories high.
 On the second floor the Allan Hagan Flute Band was holding a ball and $50 young folks were dancing A few min- utes after midnight the company was startled by terrific explosion opposite crash of glass, but the incident was considered only New Year event. Half an hour later second explosion shook the whole building. This oc- icurred on the stairway leading to the hall.
 | Amid the crash of glass and the bang ing ing Q, or door doors there there was cry of "Mur- the floor.
 The concussion had extinguished the lights and in the intense darkness there was a mad rush for tho doors. Only about dozen persons gained exit how ever. as the doorkeepers closed the en- frances and prevented crush in the narrow stairway. The lights were soon turned on and tho frightened people quieted.
 Tho explosion had done considerable damage. Near the top of the stairway V the heavy blanks had beon completely shattered and the steps were covered with debris Every pane of glass in the six large windows had been smashed, fragments flying clear across the street, aad the plaster on the walls had been torn down.
 Those who examined the place think asstick of dynamite was thrown up the stairway and exploded. This Is made plausible by the fact that the explosion had blown circular hole in the stairs closet full of dishes near by was utterly demolished.
 Tho wife of Constable Davis was at tho foot of the stairway when the ex- plosion occurred. She saw one of three mon in group strike a match and then throw something up the steps. The her friend, Mrs. Montgomery, found themselves in shower of glass It was the latte" who screamed 'murder'' and the three men fled.
 Three men residing in Millvale are under suspicion and officers are search ing for them.
 Earlier in the night two sticks of dynamite were exploded in front of the Franklin engine house, tearing up the pavement, and immediately three men were seen running away.
 The force of the Opera House explo- sion was sufficient to have collapsed the entire structure had it not been for the outlet afforded by the windows.

BATTENBcRG Is BANtSHED.
lie Was Married to Beatrice Through .
 Mate ma ker's Aid. ..-

LONDON, Jan. 2.-The Queen has per mittod it to be announced that sne intends leaving Eng and for tho Lonti nent early in the year, her plans being to remain abroad month. The mar rlage of her favorite daughter, the Princess Beatrice. to Prince Henry o1 Battenberg, which, It will be reme m bered, the frince of Wales so strenu- ously opposed, the Queen soon realized to nave been failure, and the connec- tlon mas been much greater source of uneaSlneSS than the public supposed. Now that the details of Batten berg $ latest complication have been secured the modification of the Queen has been intense.
 Before his marriage to Beatrice young Ba6tenberg property and good looks in. splred him to put himself in the hands of designing Russian lady, who util- lzed her position in the suite of the Ia te Empress of Russia to negotiate mar rlages between wealthy heiresses and pennlless princes. She resided in France when Battenberg put his prince ly name on the matrimonial books, and the matchmaker's first attempt was to bring about a marriage With Mile. Dim court
 Alter being hawked over half of Eu- rope Battenberg finally secured suf- nclent court Influence, and the backing Of the court of Jesse Uarmstadt, to promise success in London.
 Princess Beatrice fell in love with him at first sight. Since the couple have been welded the Russian match maker has consistently dunned Batten- berg, and all he could squeeze from hls spouse's allowance has gone to the woman as price for her silence.
 Recently, tiring of the continued blackmall, BattenDerg refused further to submit, even in the face of threat ened exposure. Thereupon the woman wrote i'll the most tulsome detail to Lord Cham mberlain Latham accom- panylng her own statement with mass of letters relating to Batten- berg's wooing and showing him III an unenviable light. Latham, who has given frequent evidence of his dislike for Heatrices husband, submitted the entire correspondence to the queen, anu battcnbeig was sent abroad with uue least possible delay. As he has teen absent now two months, it may mea. an indefinite baniShment.
