Attempt to Dynamite Street Car

PITTsBURe, Feb 3.-Ghe Woods Run car,
Of the Manchester line, having on board
thirteen new employees of the company,
was wrecked early this morning by the ex-
plosion of dynamite cartridge which had
been placed on the track. Though the con-
cussion was so severe the car was thrown
from the track and badly wrecked, and the
windows shattered in all the houses on the
side of the street nearest the track over
which the car was running, not one person
was badly injured. Several of the men
were cut by flying glass, but no one was
seriously hurt. Many persons were thrown
from their beds by the force of the explo
sion. The strikers have been quiet for
several days, and it was thought they had
abandoned the fight and ali trouble was
ever.
This evening Creston Kipler was ar
rested on suspicion of being the dynamiter.

night, during the past few years. In the
early part of his trial, a gentleman living

Within fortnight the girl discovered his
first name was Carlisle; that he was
well born and had an uncle who was a

whisky Trust Directors Adiou-n.

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The directors of the
Whisky trust adjourned tonight. Almost
all to-dsy's session was devoted to the
matter OF leases. President Greenhuts
idea was that leased property should be
purchased outright This would necessi-
tate the expenditure Of nearly $4,000, 600
and the directors could not unite upon the
question. The leases expire May l, and
the trust has an option Of purchase or re-
valuation. Six per cent. on re-valuation
would necessarily mean a greater rental
and the directors don't want to pay it.
