THE ALLEGHENY DYNAMITERs.
A Reward Offered for Their Arrest and Con
viction.

v1ctlOn.
Shortly after the explosion at Allegheny, Pa.
yesterday the Allegheny police were notified
and Detectives Zimmerman, Norman, Steele
and Johnston were sent to the spot to investl-
gate. Superintendent Muth also went to the
scene. When he returned he said nothing def
mite had been learned with regard to the per-
petrator of the crime.
The motorman of car 1902 says that as the car
was approaching the Stanton avenue crossing
he noticed a laborer with q dinner bucket in
his hand standing on the track. As the car
neared him the man crossed the street and
ran up Brady street and disappeared. When
the car reached that point the explosion &C.
Cured. The motorman thinks he recognized
the man who ran up Brady street one of the
strikers and believes it was he who put the dy-
Mantle cartridge on the track.
The belief that it was one of the strikers,
however. is not shared by the officials of the
road. IL is the general impression that it was
some overzealous syIapathizer.
All along the sympathy of the citizens of
Manchester and Woods Run has been with the
strikers. but yesterday mornings affair was not
only regretted but condemned by the residents.
Expressions Of censure were heard from all
sources, and while the strikers may not have
been instrumental in the matter vet it was con-
sidered bad for their cause.
The strikers had just adjourned when the re-
port was heard. The assembly convened at
midnight and it was 4:30 a M. when an adjourn
ment was made. At the meeting relief money
was paid to the men.
The directors of the Manchester line will
spare neither trouble nor expense to find the
perpetrator OF the outrage. Recently the COM
pany offered 81 900 reward for the conviction
Of any man interfering with the work or dam
aging the property of the company. and yester-
day afternoon at a special meeting another
81, 600 was offered for the arrest and convic-
ton of the individual who threw the bomb or
cartridge in the morning
The opinion that further trouble would
occur as soon as the extra police service was
dispensed with has been borne out by the oc-
currence. There is talk of private guard
being placed along the line of the company
during the night A vigilant watch will be
kept and all suspicious characters arrested.
Last evening a man named Preston Kippler
was arrested on suspicion Of being the dyna-
inter. He was locked up for a hearing on the
charge OF placing explosives on the track and
malicious mischief.

The Other Side.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
l wish through you to ask ~. s. A." who
says he has been for a long time wondering
why q move to retire on pension government
employees Of thirty years SERVICE had not been
made, and who undoubtedly has completed the
.'allotted time" and hopes to be one of the
favored ones himself, as we'll as all who favor
such a law. If 1t be goof policy on the part of
the government to favor such profigacy on the
part Of its employees as to say to them: Waste
your substance through thirty years service.
You will be provided for after that time by a
pension, assessed upon and collected from the
salaries Of those who have served less than
thirty years?'
Is it Justice to those who have been in the
service but a short time and drawing small sal
aries, say 800 to Sl,4UO, compared to the
thirty years service clerks. say 81 400 to 81. S00
to reduce or in any manner compel the former
to assist In the support of those who have
grown old in the service" and say nine tenths
or whom, while growing old, have accumulated
and now hold large and valuable properties?
II the United States government wishes to
retire on ''frl." or half pay" any Of its en-
ployes let it only select those who through
some accident of life beyond their control have
become needy and are deserving of aid. Fur
Their. let it be charitable from the generalfunds
collected by the government, aud then there
Will not be SO much cause to protest.
In my opinion it would be more in accord
ance with justice and the interests of all con-
cerned to reverse the present order Of things,
giving those positions paying the highest sala-
rles to the younger and more able men who are
competent to perform the duties properly and
give the government value received, and let
the men who shave grown old in the service"
and are not able physically or mentally to con-
tinue in the higher and more arduous positions
take the smaller salaried ones and do what little
they are able, being paid the same whether
they do whole days work in one day or take
Q week to do it. EuPxp.

The Prussian government nag taken step
which will draw upon it the frowns of hosts of
young men and maidens. II Is no less an in
novation than the regulation of an ancient
winter custom, according to which the girls OF
q village assemble on o given occasion at the
house Of some one Of their number ostensibly TO
pin flax and, incidentally Of course, to gossip,
Dot really to 1irt with the young men who in
yariabiy seize the opportunity to descend in
force upon the meeting place and surprise the
girls at work. The custom 10 familiar to
many outside Of Germany through the ref
erence to it in Wagner's Flying Dutchman."
Some people have seen actual or fancied i'm
proprieties involved in these festive gatherings.
and in obedience to their complaints the au-
thorities have issued rules which are hence
forth to govern the entertainments The
principal feature Of the edict is that the head
Of each family must accompany the young peo-
pie TO the gathering and be present during the
ceremonies and that no girls under sixteen nor
boys under seventeen shall be allowed 70 at
tend. It u not 30 much the nature Of the regu-
lations ~ the fact Of any interference ct al In
an innocent social custom that causes irrita-
ton and unfavorabls comment among those
who oh. 81 70 the new departure.

ALEXANDRIA.
A GOOD THING WHICH WILL NOT BE DON

GOOD THING WHICH WILL NOT BE DONE.
There is jocose proposal in one Of the
Fredericksburg papers for the removal of the
capital of Virginia from Richmond to Alexan-
dria. The governor and general assembly
could 60 further and fare worse. Alexandria
could furnish better water than is supplied in
Richmond and, what is perhaps OF more i'm
portAnce, purer whisky. Alexandria has
already been for awhile capital of the state.
During portion of Gov. Pierpoints admins
tration the state house was Royal street
over the market and the senate held sessions in
the aldermens room, while the house of dele
gates met in the chamber of the common
council. Mr.. II. Y. 2. Garrett, now at the
district buildings, made report of the proceed
ings, as he still does on some occasions. The
legislature should come to Alexandria by all
means.
NOT TO BE REMOVED.
The corporation court has for some time had
a motion before it for the removal of Thomas
Wilson, the colored member of the board of
supervisors of Alexandria county, who repre-
sents Washington district OF the county on the
board. 1t was alleged that Wilson had not dis
charged his duties, and a motion was entered
under the code for his removal before the
county court, which has power to remove for
cause any county officer except the clerk.
Judge Chichester, after full hearing, has
overruled the motion and dismissed the pro-
ceeding.
The funeral Of Mrs. Sarah B. Brett, a vener-
able resident of Fairfax county, took place
today and the remains were inferred in the
III. p. cemetery. Mrs Brett was the grand
mother OF MIR. James Il. Cation of this city.
The mayor has discharged Holman Snead,
colored man charged with stealing a watch
from Rev. Carl Grammar at the Theological
Seminary near this city. No testimony ap-
peared to crimlnate the accused.

Arizona Posses Trying to Rescue q Flagstaff
School Girl.


School Girl.
Justice Gibson of Flagstaff, Ariz., received
on Tuesday letter from VIM. Munds. an old
and respectable citizen Of the Verde valley, say
ing that on Friday night. January 20, two In
dams, accompanied by white girl apparently
about sixteen years old. came to Strachari's
cattle ranch at Rock Springs.
At that time there was only a boy at the
ranch. The girl told the boy that about two
weeks ago. while she was on her way home from
her school in Flagstaff, the Indians kidnapped
her. She gave the name of Alice Pack and
begged the boy to take her away from her cap
tors.
The Indians were well armed and kept a
close watch over both the girl and the boy
The girls clothes were in shreds and she was
exhausted. The Indians stayed all night at
the ranch and left early the next morning. TAX
ing the girl with them The boy then went to
the nearest neighbor, few miles away, and
told the story.
The settlers at once organized and started in
pursuit At the time the messenger left
Munds's ranch other parties were being organ
lied and it is thought that the girl will soon be
rescued.
No one of the name Of Pack is known in Flag
staff or vicinity. No such name appears on the
school register.

Amend the Bill.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Cannot Mr.. Anderson be induced to substi-
tute for his pension bill an amended one, max
ing the period Of service twenty-five years in
stead OF thirty, and also, as an Offset to the
reduced number of years, making the pension
rate either one-haf OF two-thirds Of the salary,
instead OF three-fourth, or it might be fixed at
Il stated sum, not to exceed $50 a month.
While each clerk would receive less than I'M
der the present bill, yet more persons would

1t would necessitate larger fund to draw from
