DYNAMITE RIIIEE.

DALLAS, Tex, Dec ia villianous
looking fellow played Russell Sage's
crank, Norcross, successfully-and. thens
rather not so much so-today. He entered
a tailor shop and went back among the
artists of shears and needles. He then
opened bundle of pencils and held up a
black looking stick, half foot long, which
he said contained enough dynamite TO
blow up the shop. He was willing TO al
low the knights of the shears to live il
they would give him half dollar for the
pencils. One responded with the money
at once and took the pencils, whereupon
the Texas hero walked out. The half
was counterfeit. The police now hold
him as a bull-dozer and counterte1ter.

Folger. chief of the bureau of ordnance.

FRENCH DYNAMITARDS.

PARIS, Dec 10. - Cichy, northern
suburb of Paris, was thrown into a state
of great excitement today by the discovery
of four bombs in the police station there.
The fuses attached to the bombs had been
ignited, but the fire had by some means
been extinguished before reaching the ex-
plosives with which the bombs We're filled.
1t was at Clichy that serious Socialist dis
turbances occurred during the labor de.
monstration on May Day, and the fact of
the finding of these bombs has caused
great alarm in police and other circles, as
it is believed that it shows that the per-
sons vino came in conflict with the police
on May Day are determined to seek re-
venge, and that some of them placed the
bomb where they were found, in the hope
of demolishing the station.

FRANCE AND BULGARIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 19.-The Novoe
Vremya prints semi-official article con-
cerning the dispute between France and
Bulgaria growing out of the Chadouine
Incident. The article approves the action
of France in withdrawing her representa-
tive from Bulgaria and declares that if
France yields any in her demands that
the decree of expulsion against NJ.
Chadouine should be rescinded she would
establish a dangerous precedent. The
Novoe Vremya adds that had such pre-
cedent been established. England would
take advantage of it in Egypt.

up and carried with q large portion of the
bank into the water. She ran into pier
above, breaking her bowsprit and badly
damaging her in other places. The water
came 80 high as to wash completely over
the bridge. Many of Belfasts people agree
that this has been the highest tide for
year,. The water came into W. A. Swifts
store on Main street badly injuring the pa.
per and plasteriBg and wettting quite q
large amount Of shoe boxes, but no shoes
were injured. Loss, sl0.
