A special called meeting Of the Build.
ersI Exchange was held Saturday even
ing for the purpose Of receiving, the re.
port Of the Conference Committee with
regard to the meetings it had been hold.
ing with the Building Trades, Council.
The committee presented its report
and asked to be discharged. The report
was received and the committee discon.
tinued, there appearing to be no further
need for it. Before the meeting nd.
journed the following was presented by
Mr.. Bernard Klevis:
WHEREAS. The Builders' Ebeh anga has made
all honorable efforts TO compromise the ,liilioul.

Ltso,rtd That this resolution be made n Con.
cral Order o. the Builders Exchange. d
The reason for making the resolution
general order is because there is spe-
cial schedule Of fines and penalties which
attach to the breaking Of rules which
are Issued under that head, and these
penalties are moro severe than those for
breaking tho bylaws and other orders.
The members Of the Exchange will
make m effort to resume to-day, and the
resolution painted above makes settle

sends its action or the members forfeit
their bonds. W. A. Wilson hired four
non.union men on Saturday, and it is
reported that two OF the other mills will

The louisiana Lottery.

This city has always been fruitful field
for the sellers of Louisiana lottery tickets,
but 1t is very evident that there will be an
immense falling of in the business when the
new law prohibiting transmission through
the mails, ETC.. begins to get in in It's work.
1t has been the practice. heretofore, of GER
tain papers to print thenumbers which drew
the principal prizes on the day alter the
drawings. The drawings for this month
took place In New Orleans on Tuesday, and
as usual there was big demand on Wednes-
day for the papers referred to. The holders
of lottery tickets, however, were disaDpoint-
ed, for the search for the lottery numbers
through the columns of the papers was In
vain. They were not printed this month,
and 1t Is understood that the publishers had
been notified by the Department Of Justice
that they would be prosecuted II the num-
bers appeared in their papers after the pas
sage of the law. There were, In consequence
a great many dlsgusted holders Of tickets
Wednesday, and the difficulty experienced
about ascertaining whether the tinted slips
of paper are worth more'than the space they
occupy or not, together with the trouble
necessary TO secure tickets, etc, will without
doubt result In the keeping at home Of a

The bay window extends beyond the foup-
dation of the house. The family did not
sleep in either Of the parlors, which ac-
counts for their preservation in the trouble
that came this morning. The piano, stand
ing near the window, however, was so stu
ated that it might be mistaken for a bed. 1t
is thought that the miscreants who are pur-
suing Mr.. Bonette supposed the piano to be
his bed.
They proceeded with fendish cunning.
placed dynamite cartridge of sufficient
power, could its force have been properly
confined, to blow up the whole house and
everyone in 1t. Then fuse was attached to
the cartridge and carried back about 20 feet,
Portions of this fuse were found this morn
ing.
About o'clock. when Mr.. Bonette's fami.
ly and himself were sleeping, the fuse was
lighted. A tremendous explosion, which
aroused the whole village, followed. The
bay window of the house was blown com
pletely out, the piano was smashed to atom:
parlors. The force of the conclusion then
blew through the sitting room and kitchen
beyond, tearing up everything In its way
The force Of the concusslon even broke out
the windows OF the house across the street
occupied by Lawyer Daley.
The greatest excitement followed the ex
plosion: The family were terribly terrified
but their joy was great at finding that all o.
them had escaped injury. In the village th,
greatest indignation prevailed, and it woulC
have gone hard with the perpetrators coulC
they have been found this morning.
The selectmen held meeting during th,
forenoon and voted to offer a reward Of $50
for the detection of the guilty persons. Sew
eral prominent citizens will probably ado
$500 more to this amount. The house wa
damaged to the extent of about 5000. Ther
is as yet not the slightest clue to the perpe

The Prize Captain Of the Boston Ar
rested for Gambling.

NEW YORK, October 17.-Sergt. Max
Schmittberger, all alone, raided one Of the
best appointed gambling houses in the city.
put to fight score of players, and arrested
one Of the proprietors. This was Mike KEEL
ly, the ball player, who with his brother
keeps saloon at the northeast corner of
Sixth avenue and Twenty-frst street. The
police have long suspected that there was a
gambling room up stairs.
Schmittberger was not In uniform, and he
carried big umbrella. He touched the cleo
tric button, a little slat was drawn aside in a
minute or two, and negro door tender peer
ed through. He unlocked and opened the
door to see who had meddled with the bell.
The big sergeant jumped forward, and, push
ing him aside ran up the stairs and opened
the door OF the upper room. About 20 men
were seated about table that was Uttered
with cards and money and poker chips.
They sprang from their chairs, and, rushing
for their coats and hats, dashed out Of an OPP
poslte door. They left behind them several
packs OF cards, S46 in bills and silver, and
400 ivory chips. Schmittberger pocketed
these and then arrested Mike Kelly. "rhey
were simply playing whist" cried Mike.
The sergeant laughed and took the ex-base
ball player to the Thirteenth street station.
