Tries to Blow Up the Residence of a Chi
cago Board of Trade Man.
CHICAGO, Aug. An attempt was
made Wednesday night to blow up the
residence of Charles d. Irwin, a wealthy
board of trade operator, at $500 Calumet
avenue, and the police are searching
high and low for the would-be assassin,
who is a M The attempt was made
a few minutes after 9 o'clock, and would
probably have been successful had not
persons passing by frightened the
woman, who left a large can half filled
with high explosives and ran toward
the lake. The can was discovered a few
minutes later, but the finders were
afraid to touch it and called Mr.. Irwin
out, and on examination its contests.
discovered that it was more than half
filled with giant powder. In all, there
was about ten pounds of the deadly ex-
plosive. The amoun was sufficient, if
exploded, to have blown the building
to atoms and to have set fire to the
debris.
Mr.. Irwin said: 81 haven't the
slightest idea who the woman is, and
know of no reason why anybody should
cherish any i~ll-feeling against me.
My firm has no dealings with women,
SO whatever the motive the woman
had it could not be one of revenge for
unfortunate Investments. l can not
believe that the woman is anything but
a crank. The can and its contents are
in possession of the police, and / am not
in the least worried about my safety"

WHY Are We There ?
Gone to Rest.

Died, Thursday morning, July
%, 1892, at her home, 4 miles
southwest of Centralia, Mo-, after a
very painful illness of twenty days,
Mary Alice, the dearly loved wife of
James E. Spencer. She was taken
very seriously i'll with lux on July
8, then was confined on July 10,
her babe living but a few hours.
Her sickness finally terminated in
typhoid fever, and after twenty days
of intense suffering she willingly re-
signed herself to the care of the
dear Savior, who said: "Come
unto me all who are weary and
heavy laden and l will give you
rest" She bore her suffering with
the most ineomplaining Christian
patience and fortitude, dying in the
full belief that her faith was not
misplaced and the last name her
lips pronounced was the name of
that dear Lord who "doeth all
things WE'LL" She was born in
Monroe county, Mo-, October II,
but removed to Audrain county with
her parents (Mr. and Mrs. William
Hill) when quite young, and settled
near Thompson, where she spent
most of her young life. She was
married to James i. Spencer Mar.
II, 1891. Her married life was a
very short but very happy one. She
leaves a great number of relatives
and friends to mourn her loss. Her
young husband has the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community
in his double loss of wife and child.
She was laid to rest beside her tiny
babe at New Hope Church. We
wish to return our earnest thanks to
the many neighbors for their I'M
firing help and sympathy to the
stranger within their gates.

Chairman III. e. FTffk.
elevator boy, David Fortney, who first
met him, up to the chief officials. As
soon as Mr.. Frick reached the building
he went into his private room, lighted
a cigar. asked that the heads of the de-
partments report to him as usual, and
then buried himself in his morning
mail. Mr.. Prick had a pleasant greeting
for Young Fortney, who displayed great
courage in Selling Berkman, who was
endeavoring to escape after having
stabbed Messrs. Frick and Leishman, and
holding Berkman until the arrival of
the police. The chairman warmly
thanked the young man. Up in the
office he pleasantly greeted each clerk
with a CHEEKY Good morning. and an
swered their expressions of solicitude
with a smile. When his presence be-
came known, the employees on the
other floors came down to pay their re-
spects to the chairman. Mr.. Prick came
in from his home on Homewood avenue
on a Duquesne electric car, leaving at
9:45 o'clock and reaching Fifth avenue
and Wood street at 1920 o'clock. For
the past week he has displayed an
eagerness t o be at work again that
pleased the physicians, and showed his
great strength of purpose. DIR. Litch-
field reluctantly gave his consent to the
chairman resuming his duties, and in
sisted OIL coming down with him to the
office. Mr. Prick would not agree to
this, and came unattended.
Mr.. Prick has not made any express
sion of a desire to see his assailant,
Berkman. punished. Of course he has
such a wish, but has refrained from
vindictive utterances. 1t is probable
the chairman will return home at 2
o'clock, and there remain until to-mor-
row.
Mr.. Prick was confined to the house
thirteen days, having been wounded
two weeks ago tomorrow.
Secretary L~ovejoy said to a United
Press reporter: ''Duquesne mills will
be started on Monday, and those 600
men who We're employed this week will
work them. The riot Thursday will
not interfere with our plans
I'VE have now sixty men working on
the few repairs necessary and every
thing will be ready by Monday. Things
are going ON without a hitch at Home
stead and the city Union mills"
Capt. Hinde, of Chicago, who led the
Pinkertons the morning of the Home
stead riot, and was the first man among
them wounded, may not ecover. The
physicians at the Homeopathic hospi-
tai, where he has been since July 6,
say his condition is alarming, and have
held a consultation. His limb may
have to be amputated. Capt. Hinde is
among the Pinkertons sued for murder
by Striker Hugh Ross on Wednesday,
but the chances are that he will an
swer to a higher court before the trials
occur.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 3.-James Hum

financial world by precipitate flight
from this city, after putting out forged
paper to the extent of S106, 200, was, on
Tuesday, held in $40, 600 bail to answer,
having returned unexpectedly Sunday.
The fugitive arrived in New York. Sun
day, from Brazil on the steamship
S~eguranca. He is broken in health
and his mind is shattered, and he bears
but a slight resemblance to the once
honored business man who wa head of

had no hesitation in pronouncing him
incurably afflicted mentally. 1t is
thought he will never be in a condition

SENATE.
In the senate the first business t5 republic-
ans, Il democrats being present and making lit.
tie over half n quorum1, was to act on the house
resolution extending appropriations to August
10 Mr.. Allison, chairman of the committee on
appropriations, asked unanimous consent that
the sen ate concur in this extension.
Mr.. Pascoe fila inquired if this was likely
to be the last extension.
Mr.. Allison-It would give me pleasure to in
form the senator If I were able to do so. NV
impression is that we are nearer adjournment
now than we were four or five DAYS ago,
tLaughter.l l hope before the expiration of
these five days the surrounding difficulties in
our pathway may all be solved favorabIy.
Mr.. Pascoe said that If these motions were tn
be repeated he thought it better to pass a reso-
luton continuing all appropriations till Decem-
Der.
Mr.. Allison said an extension of all appropri-
dtioHs uuth DecemDef would fall short
of providing for the necessary expendf-
lures of the government. That should
only to be resorted to at the last moment Of
time. He thought there was a prospect of the
present condition of affairs being brought to n
conclusion, and moved a recess until lao, in
order to give time for the extension resolution
to be engrosssd and approved.

protest that the US number Of investi-
