HE THREW THE BOMB.
Henry L. Norcross, Noted Boston Brok-
er Was the Man.

Henry L. Norcross, a Noted Boston Brok-
er Was the Man.
A Boston dispatch of the 18th says:
'The Globe says that Henry L. Nor
cross, of Sargent Avenue, Somerville,
a noted broker doing business at II
Pearl Street, Boston, has not been seen
at his office since the middle of last
week, and the other occupants of
his Someryille residence say
that he was killed in railroad accident
about that time. New York detectives
were In town to-day trying to identity
the missing man with the mysterious
bomb-thrower in Russell Sage's Office
last Friday. The detectives brought
with them trousers button and portions
of the trousers worn by the bomb throw
er, as we'll as piece of his coat and por-
tons of his Undertaking. According
to the Globe these were taken to the
Norcross residence this afternoon and
by Mrs. Norcross as belonging to her
husband. On the trousers OF the dead
man were buttons bearing the print
Crooks, Tailor, Boston," The pieces
of clothing were taken to Mr.. Brooks
store this afternoon. There it was posi-
lively stated that the firm had made for
Henry L. Norcross a coat of the cloth
presented and also a pair OF trousers OF
the same cloth as the other piece fur
nished by the detectives. The button
was also identified as a peculiar one
used by this tailoring house.
"Henry l.. Norcross, who certainly
has not been seen at his place of bust
ness, and has not been home in Somer-
vile since before the day week ago
on which the life of Russell Sage was
threatened, is about % years of age,
Further investigation tonight leaves
scarcely any room for doubt that the
bomb-thrower and Henry L. Norcross
are Identical. His father, who was seen
tonight, believes that such is the fact.
The identification of the clothing
has been made complete by the dis
covery that the number upon the por-
ton of the trousers worn by the bomb
thrower and brought here from New
York to-day, corresponds exactly with
the number against the name Of Nor
cross on the books of Brooks. the Wash
ington Street tailor, who made a suit
of clothes for Norcross last October.
4 photograph of the dead bombthroW-
er's head has been compared with a
likeness of Norcross taken about six
months ago, and the resemblance is
most striking. Mr.. Norcross, ST., says
that his son left home on the day pre-
ceding the New York affair, stating that
he was going upon business trip, first
to Providence, thence to Hartford, New
Haven, Worcester and Fitchburg. Since
then he has not been seen by the mem
bers of his family"

Head from q Stone.

Michael Davitt Receives Blow IN Wv
Head from Stone.
DrRr1N. Dec. 14.-Michael Davitt, the
famous Irish leader, was seriously
wounded during riot in waterford
C,+v yastedav. Mr.. Davitt and William
O,Rrien had gone to Waterford to sup
mort the candidature of Mr.. Keane, the
nominee OF the McCarthyites, tor the
scat in Parliament made vacant by the
death of Richard Power. The rival
candidates and the various contlngents,
armed with formidable blackthorn shll-
lalahs. marched through the streets 10
mnsic of brass bands. The factions met
and began one of the fercest contllcts
that has characterized prevailing nos
tilities. In the midst of the atfray Mr..
Dayitt received nasty cut on the lore
head, from which the blood flowed 1ree-
ly. Mr.. Tanner and others were IN
iured bv stones. At last the ponce
formed a Gordon and divided the oppos,,
inc mob, and the Davltt crowd reacheo
the club rooms. M
Despite the injuries received by Mr.
Davitt, that gentleman is still IN tne po51
litical field, and it has been determined
by the McCarthyite leaders that Mr.
Keane. the nominee of the Mccarthy
ties for the seat for Waterford in the
House of Commons made vacant by the
death of Richard Power, should be
withdrawn from the contest, and that
Mr.. Davitt himself should stand as the
McCarthyite candidate. Mr.. Davltt and
William O'Brien had gone to Waterford
to support Mr.. Keane's candldature
wh5n attacked by the supporters OF
John Redmond, the Parnell candidate:
This incident seems to have convinced
the McCarthyites that it would be good
politics to 60 into the Waterford fight
with Mr.. Davitt as their standard bear
err, and, though he had previously re-
fused to accept the nomination, the at
tack upon him yesterday evidently in
duced him to change his mind.
A conference was held with Mr..
Keane, and shortly afterward he an
nounced his withdrawal fran the con-
test. He gave "press of business" as
his reason for declining to further con-
test the seat A letter written by Will
lam O'Brien, which is published this
morning, states that Mr.. keane was
only persuaded to stand IN the event OF
Mr.. Davitt refusing TO do so.
The newspapers supporting the Nc
Carthvite faction are rejoicing at the TACT
that Mr.. Davitt has finally concluded to
make fight for the seat himself. They
believe that he is very strong canGl-
Gate, and that the prospect for victory
is greatly enhanced by his action in TAX

DUMPING" INDIAN LANDS.
Deeds of Whites That May Cause Trou-
BILE with the Flatheads.

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 14.-Trouble is
brewing in the northern part of the
Flathead reservation between some
claim jun pc rs and several Indian fam
lilies who we're placed on allotment
lands on Dayton Creek short
time ago. Under orders from
the authorities at Washington, Maj.
Roman, agent Of the Flatheads, located
nineteen Kottenai families on choice
land bordering on Day ton Creek,
which had been set apart for them.
Yesterday twenty-five armed mon
drove to the section and jumped the
lands, driving the Indians Off The
young bucks among the Kottenais
wanted to fight, but the old men pre-
vailed upon them to make no resist
ance. It has been difficult for the old men
to mold the bucks in restraint rs long
as they have, and it is feared that they
will not be able TO do so much longer.
Haj. Roman has been in communication
With the commissioner of Indian affairs
by wire, who telegraphed that the at
torney-general has instructed the
United States marshal at Helena to rem
der Roman any assistance necessary.

SHERMAN A CANDIDATE.
"Honest John" to Figure Among the
Presidential Possibilities.

Presidential Possibilities.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 12.-John
Sherman is again full-fedged presi-
dental candidate. He did not intend
to be, but the prominence of free coin
age in the Ohio campaign has brought
him to the front and he can't resist the
temptation to try it once more. He
thinks financial questions will be fully
as important in Congress this winter as
the tariff and that both issues will be
made in the presidential campaign.
Chairman Clarkson, of the National
Committee, who left last night for Min
neapolis, said: ~ should say Senator
Sherman is likely to be a candidate.
He is undoubtedly coming to the front
again. l have noticed a revival of the
Sherman sentiment in good many
quarters-in New York and Wisconsin
for instance, where his popularity with
the Germans is great. [ am told there
is the same feeling in Ohio. [ have
heard it claimed that his candidacy
would bring back into the Republican
cans who have left the party because of
prohibition"

with Gen. Clarkson, given wide circula-
ton this week, in which it is claimed
that the latter stated Mr.. Blaine would
certainly withdraw his name from be-
fore the national Republican conven-
ton, and that Mr.. Harrison would be
certainly renominated, Col. Conger
stated positively that he was in a posi-.
ton to declare the interview a "fake,"

The Real Colors of Metals

We do not always see objects pre-,
cisely in their natural colors the white
light which falls upon them is com
posed of the seven tints of the solar
spectrum Tor rainbow, and when q
body reflects yellow light, for instance,
it absorbs all the other colors, but this
absorption is never complete in first
reflection, so that the light reflected
from a metallic surface is mixed to 6
certain extent with undecomposec
white light In order to see the pre-
else color of metal, the light of the
sun must be reflected from it to sec
ond surface of the same metal, an6
from this second piece to third and
SO on, until we obtain tint which
does not change by further reflections
In this experiment the undecomposee
white light is all absorbed, and the
true color of the metal is seen. In thi.
manner gold is seen to be of brillian
orange color; copper, nearly carmin'
red; tin, pale yellow; silver, white
lead, blue, etc.-Chambers Journal
