STRIKERS SEEK REVENGE.
Another Dynamite Explosion in
PruSsia'S Mining District.

rBy Anco-American cable 10 tho Dispa'ch.l
BERLIN, January l4.-lt Is evident
that the lawless element among the
coal-miners are determined to revenge
themselves for the discharge Of SO many
Of the men who took an active part IN
the mining district. To-day a terrific
explosion occurred in the Consolidation
Colliery at Gelsenkirchen, and after the
excitement had subslGel 1t was found
that 1t had been caused by dynamite
cartridges that had been secreted IN the
mine, presumably by strikers, and so
arranged that they would explode at Il
certain time.
Though many men were at work at
the time, 1t happened that none OF them
were in the vicinity Of the explosion,
and so no one was killed. A number Of
miners were, however, thrown violently
down by the conclusion.
Immense timbers and huge masses OF
rock were blown out of place, and
some of the galleries were completely
blocked.
Great Indignation is expressed that
the authors OF the outrage should have
risked the lives of hundreds Of men for
the sake Of reyenging themselves against
the miue-OTners,

Written for the Dispatch.l
No messages 10 loved ones,
Not cen a brief farewell,
But working, waiting for the call,
With armor on he fell
Through long, long years he lived for God,
A worker all the time;
His was life Of sacrifice
Which simply Was sublime.
God tried him IN his crucble,
lie came forth bright as gold;
For he was counted worthy
Of these su1eriHgs untold.
A tongue Of eloquence Il stilled.
A prince in Israel goes;
A saint has entered into rest,
Free from oil earthly woes.
He sings sweet anthems evermore
WITH saints Around the throne
Win loved ones now united.
Knows even rs he's known.

The fsh-and-oyster store OF James d.
Wade, located at the corner Of Linden
and Cary streets, was destroyed by fire
early this morning. An alarm was turned
IN from Box II about ] o'clock, and
prompt response was made. The loss Is
estimated at about $500, and is partially
covered by insurance. The house was
only a one-story structure.

Postmaster Russell would confer a
favor on respectable portion Of the

see that the electric light over the desk

was the fourth night that the public was
deprived Of light at that desk, and it

CAREFUL, But N EARNEST
Our Dumb Friends Being Pro
tcctcd in a Great Many Ways.

The Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty TO Animals. although but recent
" organized, is now on an active work
ing basis. and has received general sup
port throughout the city. Its member
ship has greatly increased in the last
few weeks. and its rolls include the
names Of some Of the wealthiest and
most influential persons in Richmond.
DR.. Jud. 3. Wood, the president, ia
an enthusiast on the noble aims of the
society, but it is his purpose to keep the
work OF the organization within con
servative limits, and to make reasonable
allowances for all cases brought TO his
attention. He said yesterday in CONVEX
sation with a representative of the DIS
PATCH that be was particularly anxious
to have q test case brought into the
courts, as no thought this would have u
very good effect and put the name Of the
society prominently before the public.
The members have no desire whatever,
10 subject the owners OF domestic
animals to any Inconvenience, but 1t Ia
their earnest wish to have the brutes
protected from thoughtIess or wanton
cruelty.
CAREFUL, BIT ~ EARNEST.
They are exercising great deal Of
care in their investigation Of cases whore
horses are malircated, Us these faithful
beasts Of burden are frequently sub
iected TO hardships which no living ami
NAL could bear without suffering, Ere
oueutly they are driven until almost too
weary to move and handled in the most
mercless manner by their owners or
drivers. \ few days ago and during
the present cold snap DR.. Wood dlscoY-
cred number OF the street-cGr mules,
which, after being driven for long time,
were left to stand forty minutes without
shelter or covering. He will call the
attention Of the superintendent to this
matter and urge him to provide a place
where they can be housed while waiting
for their turn Mt the cars.
Tho cases where opposition to the et-
forts of .he society is shown are very
rare, rs owners Of teams realize that the
organization is their friend.
A GOOD MORAL INFLUENCE.
The society is doing much good in a
quiet. unostentatiOus way, and asIts mem
hers aud influence increase It's labors and
benefits will he enhanced proportiorate-
". 4 prominent lawyer said that the
moral influence OF the society was al
ready felt in this city, and its effects
were noticed IN the greater care in the
use and treatment of teams.
Or. Wood expressed the hopo that
after the organization had gotten well
established here, it, good work could be
so extended as to make It perform the
duties of humane society IN connec-
ton with its other objects
