A Disastrous Explosion.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 2S. - AT 2
o'clock this morning, a bomb was thrown
into the main building Of the South Side
plant of the Milwaukee Street Railway
company. There was tremendous eX-
plOSion, and in moment the IN
terror of the building was in blaze.
In few minutes the fire was beyond con-
troll and in less than an an hour the en-
tire plant was consumed. Entailing loss,
$4,000; plant, including immense stor-
age stables, 70. electric motors, ma e
chine shops and stables. Theft greatly
c"ippleS the company Who the man is
that threw the bomb is unknown. He is
supposed to be the firebug who has start
ed fully a dozen other disastrous fires
within the past month. The grand jury
will be summoned TO investigate the only
person who saw the alleged bomb thrown,
who was night watchman Warden. He
was standing near the main doorway OF
the barn in which the motors and cars
were stored. There was a whiZ OF some
thing through the air. a Hash
and a tremendous explosion. Ii there
was bomb thrown, which many
doubt,it came through the main doorway
and struck the car nearest the entrance
The projectile must have been filled with
some highly inflammable substance, as
hardly ten seconds elapsed before nearly
all the cars in the building were in hames.
Ry hard work the fire was confined TO the
railway building. An investigation today
shows beyond doubt that the fire which
destroyed two tannerieS, causing loss or
$3.50 200, and by which two lives were lost,
was incendiary. This is also the case with
two fires last Sunday, when Sl25,OOO
worth Of property burned.

ANOTHER SHOOTING ), RAPE.
A Colo ed Woman Causes Trouble
Between Her Husband aud
- n hire Man

For some time IN, re- has been consider
able trouble in the neighbOrhoOd of the
old ice factory on GraysOu street and last
night matters came to light. Officer Gray,
at z o'clock, arrested Andrew Bennett
and Andrew Irving and lodged them in
prison, Bennett on a charge OF assault
with intent to kill and Irving, a sault.
From all that could be learned OF the
affair, Bennett. a white man. formerly
police officer has been making frequent
visits to Irving's house while the BOSS"
was away, and would have many private
conversations with the colored woman.
Irving soon learned of the way In which
his wife was acting, and on Christmas
day made the remark to several cOlored
friends that he was going to stop
that "conrlin" with his wife. Bennett
heard OF the uJterances and last
night. went again to call on the colored
mans wife, thinking, perhaps, he might
have an opportunity Of seeing Irving
later. So he did. No sooner had he en-.
tered when the colored fellow stepped
out and demanded a reason for his visit.
He was Informed that he was making re-
marks about the visitor and that If same
were NOT discontinued. trOnhle would en-
sue; calling him vile names. At this
Irving Jumped at MIN and Il nnett pull
ed his gun. A rough and tumble fight
then took place, witnessed only by the
negro woman with two hearts. Finally
Bennett gained courage and shot twice at
his opp nent, one of the balls lodging in
his foot. and the other Just escaping
his right side. Another jump was made
by Irving and he succeeded in flooring
his enemy. A heavy rock was then pro
cured and Bennett's face was no longer
natural in appearance, but on the con-
trary. was nice little fat lump of muSh
covered with r, d milk. The officer then

and the performance came TO a close.
Where the colored woman is, no one
knows Both men are in the county jail
and will be arrai ,ned before Justice Gritf
Jones at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon, to
answer to their respective charges.

The, Troubles In France.

PARIS, Dec. 2s.-The effort of M. An
drieux to draw PRIMER Ribol into duel
has failed, and it is not considered likely
that AndrieuX will resort to alliance, as
was at first intimated. There is no dis
guising the fact that M. Andrieux has
gained much admiration by holiness and
success of his course M. Ribol declined
to either retract his utterances on the
fight, claiming that his charge, that An
drieux was endeavoring to incite disorder
and virtually being instigator of the il
surrection, was not beyond legitimate
public criticism. AndrieuX, in letter,
submits the affair to the public.
