the conclusion that the kIdnapers had been
frightened away and would not come.
Then he drove homeward. The father and
mother were endeavoriug to console each
other in their misery, when early this
morning the door bell rang and John
Close entered with the missing boy. AS
Mr.. Waterbury opened the door in answer
TO the ring. Ward sprang into his father
arms and then into his mothers, who had
followed her husband to the door. There
was a very affecting scene. John Close
Fas warmly thanked by Mr.. and Mrs.

When the excitement had become some

IS man in humble circumstance, and

A STREET CAR BLOWN UP.

PITTsBURGr, Pa, Feb. 3.--W oods Run Car
No / of the Manchester line, having on
board thirteen of the new employees of the
company. was wrecked on Beaver avenue
at $50 o'clock this morning by the eX-
Dlosion of a dynamite cartridge which had
been placed on the track. The explosion
occurred as the car was passing the Man
chester locomotive works, ana though the
conclusion was so severe that the car was
thrown from the tracks and badly wreck ed
and the windows shattered in all of the
houses on the side of the street nearest the
track over which the car was running,
strange as il may seem, not one person
was hurt, The car is known as an all
night carb4fid had picked up the employees
on their way to work. When the car
reached the locomotive works it was run
ming at full speed, and the men were talk
ing and laughing. Suddenly there was a
terrific explosion and the car was lifted
bodily from the track. It was badly
wrecked. All the windows were broken
and several of the men were cut by flying
glass, but nc one was seriously hurt.
Many persons were thrown from their
beds by the force OF the shock.
One of the striking conductors who was
seen by a reporter said that he had heard
two other conductors threaten to put dy-
nanite on the track. He said that he saw
these two men on Beaver avenue this
morning near the scene o. the explosion.
He also said that some days ago two OF the
so-called sympathizers with the strikers
asked him to take a hand in plot to do
up President Daizell and General Manager
Greenwood of the company. He told the
men that he would have nothing to do
with such n scheme and at once reported
what had been said to him TO Mr.. Dalzel
A great crowd soon collected at the
scene of the explosion, and the general
sentiment seemed to be that the perpetra-
tors OF the deed had waited for the car of
non-uniouists, and had then fred the mine
with the intent Of killing several of the
new men. The strikers and their friends
have been quiet for several days, and il
was thought that they had abandoned the
fight and that all the trouble was over.

SAN FRASCIsCo, April 2i-The whole
 Northern portion of the State of Cali
 fornia was visited by severe earth
 quake shock at an early hour yes
 terday. The villages of Dixon and
 Vacavilie, in Solano county. and Nln-
 ters, in Yolo county, are said to have
 been demolished, but as all wires con
 meeting with these points are down the
 report cannot be verified. and no par
 ticulars of any sort are as yet obtain able.
 Dixon and Vacaville are post-villages
 situated in the beautiful and fertile
 valley on the California Pacific rail
 road. Dixon is twenty-two miles south
 west of Sacramento and Nacaville IS
 seven miles beyond. Dixon has some thing over l.0O0 inhabitants and IS flourishing place, supporting two news papers, a bank and a flour mill, be sides other industries. There are six churches.
 The California college, founded by the Baptist denomination in 1879, is lo- cated at Vacaville. Nacaville has three churches. a high school, and manufae- lures brandy and wine. Its population is between 40e and 500. Winters is a post village of about the same size as Vacaville, and is twelve and a half miles northwest, in Iolo county. The shock struck San Francisco about 2:45 this morning. Itawakened every body and many people rushed into the streets in terror in their night clothes expecting the houses to tumble about their heads Clocks stopped all over the city, many of them being thrown down. The long rows of bottles in the drug stores were jostled viol eut'y ;~7ia.t each other in many cases cracking them and spilling the contents. Some of the racked and considerable damage was done to business houses and dwellings in course of construction. No one however, has so tar been reported as having been seriously hurt, and tho greatest damage is believed to have been done at other localities in the State.
