It Should be Done.

! We have often had occasion to no
| tice the side walk in front OF the Bap
| tist Church in this town, and so Otter
! thought it reproach to any depOmlDa
tion of religious people to suffer such ;
condition Of things to exist. Why The
town council has never given attention
to it we know not, and why the conf
municants of that church who worship
there, have never exerted themselves
to render the approach to the place OF
worship, more in keeping with the or,
dinary requirements Of civilization, and
decency has batled tho powers OF imagi'
nation to conceive. The space Oh
which the work should be done does
not cover one hundred aud twenty feet
We may be in error, but we honestly
believe it to he the very worst side
walk in constant use in town.
The Town Council is assiduous in
having work done in many other
streets, and it may be thought that the
Improvement of the side walks de-
wolves on the proplietors, and on them
alone. And yet, we think little in
vestigation Of authority will lead to
the conclusion that it can, under the
authority of the charter, require abso-
lutely necessary improvements to be
made.
We do not wish TO initiate the council
with too high conception of it's right
full authority, yet, we cannot avoid
thinking that its charter falls very far
short Of all it shonld be, il it does not
confer the power, either express or i'm
piled, to establish, make, grade and i'm
prove the streets Of the town. Whether
this be so or not, our Baptist friends
will excuse us for saying that they have
wofully neglected the side walk leading
to their neat little church. Why to get
along it and into the inclosure reminds
one of the difficulty of clambering up
the rugged sides of some mountain. At
night it is no exaggeration to say that
it is extremely difficult to prevent fall
ing, and rolling down into the street.
All the religions impressions and feel
iDgs, left on the wolsliippers mind while
in church, is apt to he lost in the in
voluntary ejaculation of damn it, as he
slips, and slides, and stumblcs and falls
while leaving the church in the dark.
To wend ones way along there on a
moonlcss night, is much like working
ones way up the side of Pixies peak.
The church members could easily OBJ
viate all this it they would concert, fix
day, go there, spade and shovel in
hand and give three bours work to it.
The town council being first consulted,
as to what it would permit to be done,
the work could easily be done in few
hours, and the approach to the church
be made easy and decent. We hope
our friends will pardon the expression.
II we had few spare dollars, we would
cheerfully have such work done there,
as to enable the good pious and lovely
ladies to get into the church and from
it without risk of spraining their ankles
and tumbling into the street.

Mysterious Explosion in the
Famous Dublin Castle.
The Financial Office Com
pletely Wrecked.

Dynamite Believed to Have Been the
Was Placed There is "A Mystery without
Solution at Present-No One Injured.
The Police Hard at work-No Clew.
DUBLIN, Jan. 1.-The financial Office
of Dublin Castle has been wrecked by an
explosion. The disaster is said to have
have been caused by dynamite and the
Fenian party, as usual, is credited with
being the cause of the explosion.
Nothing definite is known as to the
real cause of the wrecking of the depart
ment referred to, though the widest
rumors are afoat. No one was injured,
so far as ascertained.
At first it was thought that it was
caused by leakage of gas. This, how
ever, has been found not to be the cause.
All the gas connections have been found
to be in good order. A number of work
men were employed about the castle at
the time of the explosion, which
shattered number of windows and did
considerable other damage.
! Mr.. Cullinan, chief of the financial
department, had just left his room when
tremendous explosion occurred there
in. The floors, furniture and windows
were blown to atoms, but no one was
injured. The workmen who had been
repairing adjacent rooms were absent at
dinner at the time. The officials de-
clare that dynamite caused the eXplo-
sion. There is nothing to indicate that
it was gas explosion.
The public are excluded from the pre-
cincts, and experts are examining the
wrecked apartment, while detectives
are busy seeking clews. The Irish
privy council had intended to hold a ses-
sion Thursday evening in the room
directly over the one where the explosion
occurred.
Sir Charles Cameron, inspector of ex-
plosives, has made an examination and
states that either gunpowder or gun
cotton was the explosive used. Mr.,
Cullinan had been summoned to con-
verse with Mr., Ridgeway but two
minutes before the explosion. The
Earl of Zetland, and the countess were
giving charity fete for the benefit of
children, when they wereNsnformed at
the viceregal lodge of the explosion.
They expressed great sorrow at the
news.
An investigation shows the explosion
was of far greater Importance than at
first supposed. The floors and ceilings
of two entire floors have been blown to
pieces, and some of the heavy beams of
the building have been torn from their
places and are now in small pieces.
Several almost miraculous escapes
from death are recorded upon the part
of the clerks and others employed about
the buildings and much CONSERVATION
prevails throughout the city.

ROME, Jan. notwithstanding de
mails made by many officials, it is again
asserted, ana apparently with authority
that the Italian and American govern
ments have agreed that an indemnity
shall be given in the case of any victims
of the New Orleans lynching proven to
be Italian citizens. The repeated asser-
tions of concessions on the part of the
American government are attributed in
some quarters to the desire of the Ru-
dim administration to make an excuse
to the Italian people for resuming full
diplomatic relations with the Unite
States The American denials have ex-
cited much surprise and caused embar-
rassnent to the government and its

Garza's Force Numbers About 9OO-More
Troops sent 10 the Front.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. la special from
Laredo, Tex, says;
An interview with a United States
marshal just in from Garzas field of
operations shows there is certainly a
large force with CARA, and that in one
of Garza's detGchments, which Captain
Hardie followed, there were not less
than 800 men. If reports be true Garza's S
band must not fall short of 900 men. At
the camp where they had taken single
meal, were found the remains of eight
beeves which had been slaughtered; also
thirty-one camptires. Trails show proofs
of a company of several hundred men.
Captain Hardie followed close on the
trail of these men until they crossed the
river.
The three men recently captured, be-
longing te Garza's band are still in
New Laredo, but will probably be sent
to Monterey for trial by court martial
A telegram was received by Colonel
Coree, in New Laredo, from General
Lorenzo Garcia, at Mier, that Captain
Hardie, of Company G, United States
cavalry, has notified him that his
Hardies) scouts reported that Garzas
men We're passing near Fort Tigre,
crossing on the Rio Grande, on the line
of Starr and Zepate counties, Tex, be-
low Rio Grande City. 1t was supposed
about 300 men would meet there. Cap
tain Hardie stated that he was marching
for that point, and asked that Garcia be
on hand with the Mexican troops to re-
ceive the outlaws when they cross to
Mexican soil.
This will be impossible as Garcia was
assassinated a day or two ago by his own
men, who are now en- route to the front
ier to reinforce the insurgents.
In these dispatches heretofore the
names Cara and Garcia have been some

insurgents AND Garcia was the loyal

TENNESSEE coNvlCTs
Likeiy to BE Moved Back to the Mines
Most ANY Time.

| Most Any Time,
CHATTANOOGA, Jan. 1.-The follow.
! ing was received from Nashville Wednes-
DAY night:
1t now looks like there will be a for
ward movement to Coal Greek within a
day or two.
Superintendent Wade arrived here
from Knoxville Thursday morning, and
at once held an interview with the
lessees. He declines to state when the
guards and convicts will leave for Coal
Creek. 1t is probable that the guards
will go in advance of the military.
There is still good deal of doubt
about the return of convicts to Brice-
vile. The stockade there was burnt,
and all the cabins are occupied by one
hundred free miners, who are working
in the mines. President Jenkins, of the
Tennessee Mining company, says that
none of these miners shall be dis
possessed of the cabins.
Sixteen additions to the militia came
in from Chattanooga last night, and
there are now encamped on the hill a
company of sixty-four men, besides
officers.
Secretary of State Miller has given it
out, however, that the soldiers and
guards will go to Briceville and Coal
Creek by special train Wednesday night.
To BE Tried for Treason.
Everything has been staggered and
nothing attempted in the past few days
on account of the sensational charge that
Assistant Commissioner of Labor and
Mines Alleman is guilty of treason
against the state a crime whose only
punishment is death by hanging. 1t is
charged that Just before the release of
the convicts by the miners Alleman per-
sonally consulted with the aggrieved
leaders of the miners, and melted them
to their rebellious uprising He also
went about among the men and adj.
vised it.
In reply to inquiries, Mr. Wade said
he had never preferred formal charges
against Mr.. Alleman but he had, in an
interview with Governor Buchanan,
spoken OF the charges, and had informed
the governor of statements that had been
made to him (Wade) by the warden and
guards at Tracy City, to the effect that
Mr. Alleman was charged with having
said that If it were necessary he would
resign his Office and take up his gun and
assist the miners in the struggle against
the convict lease system. Mr.. Wade
said he did not file any affidavit setting
forth these charges, but merely repeated
substantially what had been told him to
the governor.
The matter came before the legislature
in an informal way, and member in
troduced resolution to have an investi-
cation upon the strength of the rumors.
Alleman will be tried by court
martial

others, had taken refuge i'll a cabin.
The negroes fired at the posse and
then ran. The posse returned the fire,
killing two negroes. One white man
was seriously wounded by blacks There
were six negroes in the cabin, and on

More Troops to the Front.

CITY OF Mexico, Jan. General
Escudero, assistant secretary Of war,
said Wednesday night that the report
that the government was moving troops
from the interior garrisons to the frontier
was true. This stepwas made necessary,
as the country where CARA is operating
is sparsely settled and covered with
brush and the border is too long to be
covered by the few troops usually
ganisoned at frontier points. In
reference to the whereabouts of
Garza, General Escudero said that
he was crossing and recrossing the
frontier, which made it an impossibility
to capture liln and his band with the
present troops in the field, but with the
soldiers that are now being moved to the
border he expected if Garza crossed into
Mexico again he would be captured,
