THE READING COMBINE.
Answers to the Suit to Test It's Legality ir
 Pennsylvania.

Answers to the Suit to Test It's Legality in
 Pennsylvania.
 HARRISBURG, Pa., May 2.-The answers to the suit designed to test the legality of the big Reading combine has been prepared. That of the Port Reading Railroad Company states that the Port Reading Company is 8 New Jersey cor poration; that it is a separate and dis tinct corporation from the Philadelphia & Reading; that it's capital stock is not the property of the Philadelphia 6 Read ing. but is owned by construction com pany, and that the relations of the cor porations are harmonious because of the community of interests.
 The Jersey Central lease is declared to be 8 valid contract between two New Jer- sey corporations, and clearly no infringe ment or violation of the constitution of Pennsylvania, which cannot affect it..
 The answer of the Lehigh Valley Coal and Navigation Company is an admission of it's ownership of the Lehigh and Sus- quehanna Railroad, which it leased to the Jersey Central, but denies being a party to the agreement whereby that road was leased to the Port Reading Company. A denial is also made for the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company, that it's mines and collieries have been leased by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company.

A GREAT DAY IN LONDON.
Enormous Labor Demonstration - Dis.
 cOVery of a Dynamite Plot.

Enormous Labor Demonstration - Dis
 cOvery of a Dynamite Plot.
 LONDON, May 2.-This city saw yester- day the greatest labor demonstration in it's history. The weather was bright and from early morning numberless proces- sions of labor unions and Socialistic so- cieties thronged the streets in the vicinity of Hyde Park. All the men brought out their wives and children and choked the streets from wall to wall. Almost every organization had band with it. and at noon the din and confusion became ter rife at the park entrances, although everybody was good natured.
 But one incident of the day betrayed the dangerous undercurrent of the dem- onstration. Shortly after noon senti- nel in the Woolwich Arsenal discovered at the entrance of the gun factory a bag containing eight canisters loaded with dynamite, gun cotton and cartridges. He called in policeman and the bag was removed. No fuse was attached to the canisters, but detonator was found at the bottom of the bag.
 The plot was, undoubtedly, to destroy England's greatest arsenal, although thereby 17,000 men would have been thrown out of employment. It has been boast of the War Office that no Anar- CulSLS UT OOCIh41SbS COulu D6 IOunO In the arsensal. The police, however, although exceedingly reticent, acknowledge that the dynamite must have been placed by an arsenal workman, as the presence of 8 stranger would have been remarked by the guards. No arrests have yet been made.
 Excepting this incident, nothing marred the peacefulness of the demon stration. By 8 o'clock there were fully 35O,O00 people in the park and between then and 5 the crowd swelled to 300, 900. Scores of meetings were held. Every ad- vantageous point was occupied by a speaker, and 8 man had only to begin to talk to collect in no time an audience of 2,000 or 1000.
 At Scotland Yard it is denied that the bag at the door of the Woolwich gun factory was filled with canisters of dyna- mite. The detectives say that the bag contained only gunpowder which was stolen from the Maxim Ammunition Company. They do not believe there was a dynamite plot.

 Reported from Paris, Where Dynamite
 OutraEes Were Most Feared.
 L1EaE, May 2.-This city is still panic stricken over the events of yesterday, and further trouble is feared.
 The day passed without much disorder aud no attempt was made to hold meet ings. After sundown the streets were filled with workingmen, some intoxi- cated, but most of them sober and or derly. A body of militia, in marching out to relieve a company on guard near the City Hall, came upon 8 crowd of workingmen and tried to march through.
 Instantly there were cries ofSI'Down With the Police," "Kill the Hirelings," and 'Long Live Anarchy" The militia charged and dispersed the crowd, but hardly @ minute later an explosion was heard and the air was filled with splint- cred glass.
 A bomb had been set off in front of 8 shop about fifty yards off. The pave ment was shattered and all the windows of nearby buildings were blown out. Nobody was injured. Within ten min utes two more bombs were exploded in the same district. The damage was trivial but the excitement was intense. Half of the city came out into the streets. Bodies of mounted police and militia marched constantly from one district to another to reinforce the guards at threatened points.
 Bombs were exploded last night at the residences of Senator Baron Selys and his son in Longchamps. Doors were blown in and furniture and glassware throughout the house were broken. No body was injured.
 An explosion under the wall of the Church St. Martin shattered a famous memorial window near the altar and brought down part of the carved stone from the roof. The shock was terrific, and it is said that not fewer than twelve pounds of dynamite were used. Win dows for 200 yards were smashed to small bits.
 Dynamite cartridges and fuses have been found in several streets. The city is patrolled by all the available police and militia. Most citizens are guarding their own houses. More explosions are expected to occur to-day.
 Fifty arrests have been made.

 PTTTsBURa, May 2.-A year ago on the 23d of last January William Faulk, a German farmer of Bellevue, shot and killed his wife. He was arrested, and upon plea of insanity, was sent to the Dixmont Insane Asylum.
 George Knauff, an old farmer, who claimed to be a witch doctor, had really been the cause of the murder. It was stated that Knauff had told Faulk that he was to kill the first rat he saw, as it was the devil. If he failed he would have to kill his wife as sacrifice The rat got away and he killed his wife,
 Yesterday Knauff, who is seventy years old, called upon the Coroner and said that if he was the cause of Mrs. Faulk's musder he wanted to be hanged Since the trial he said his life had been unbearable. He could not get work and his own children had shut the door upon him.
 Knauff denies that Faulk was insane, and claims that Faulk killed his wife because he was jealous of a hired man. says he wor'd have committed su- icide long ago if it had not been for the disgrace of it. The old man was heart broken, and asked to be locked up. The Coroner finally succeeded in persuading him to go home, promising him to look into the case.

Every Public Building Was Guarded and
 Soldiers Were Everywhere.
 PARIS, May 2.-May Day was very pleasant and the gay Parlsians seem to have tried to forget the dangers supposed to encompass them. The boulevards and parks were crowded, and the pa tronage of restaurants and cafes was exceptionally large. Women and chill dren walked unterrihed through the streets. The churches wAre full and the strain of apprehension seemed to have relaxed.
 In the barracks, at the police stations and in the districts around the public buildings, however, thousands of armed men stood ready since l o'clock in the morning to march out at Q moments notice and shoot to kill. All day squad of cavalry and mounted police clatt0red through the streets to the relief of the troops on guard before daybreak, and occasionall the heavy tread of irfali- try reminded the promenaders that both services in the garrison had been mobil- ized against expected dangerA.

A Talk With The Bays.

We were talking to good, kind old mother a few day s ago and she was complaining bitterly about how badly her sons were treating her in her old days. They were stingy with her and generous with others. They seem to rejoice in making her life burdensome and yet she always worked hard late and early for them. This was going on> for ye4rs. She is a goo1 Christian mother aud she can't understand why this condition of things should exist. Now this complaint is as common as it is cruel. These poor old mothers have to live and suffer and there Is no court of appeal Well, We can tell all these boys that they are branded. They are work ing their own destruction. Their character is written on their faces. You can tell them wherever you see them. The man who is looking around for reliable men will not hire them. Every man who hires help is constantly watching for reliable men. Think also hat the train of death is coming and you are only waiting here at the sta, tion. It may not be the next, but it is coming and no matter how humble your station in life is. you will have a private BOX all to yourself when you fall into the hands of the peoples undertaken. Our furniture stock is complete in every de partment and our prices are lower than ever.
 Goods delivered free to any station.

Deceived by Appearances,

The most experienced judge of hu- man nature now and then finds himself mistaken. Principal Smith of the C. school is considered one of the wisest and kindest of teachers, but watchful- ness and incessant vigilance are apt to make him oversuspicious at times. In the geography class the other day his eye fell upon boy whom he thought was eating candy.
 ''Jack," said the principal, sternly take that piece of candy out of your mouth, immediately, sirY' To the teachers astonishment, litter and a giggle went around the room among the scholars, as poor Jack blurted out:

National A1useum's "wizzard'' to Retire

WASHINGTON, May 9. - Prof. J. J.. Hendley, generally known as "The Wizard of the National Museum" has resigned his position. MT. Hendley has been connected with the National Mu- scum for the past 10 years, and his imi- tations of stones, plants, leaves, fruits, antique relics and figures representing human and animal life, both from pie lures and living models, have been marvellous. One of his greatest feats was the production of artificial ears and noses, and his skill at this kind of work was so great that he received orders from all sections of the country from those who were so unfortunate as to lose those necessary members.
