three tramps slept in the engine
house ut Rowlesburg. and about
four o'clock next morning, Jack
Hooton, the hostler ran locomo-
tive into the house and as he did so
was startled by cry of agony
from one of the sleepers. When he
got off the engine to investigate he
found he run the engine over the
right leg of one of the tramps, a
young fellow about sixteen years
old named Guy Bell, from Altoona,
Pa. The sleeper had carel,ssly laid
his leg across the track, with the
above result. Doctor Proudfoot.
of Rowlesburg, and DIR. N. T..

dition has been as well as could be
expected. 1t is said that Belle
parents are very respectable and
well to do people. The patient is
now in the HOsl ital at Cumberland,
wnerc he was sent next day after

| FOUND A BOMB ON THE STEPS
Attempt to Blow Up the palazza
Altera at Rome.
The Curiosity OF a Boy Saved the Palace
Attributed to Revsngsful Anarchists.
France Mourns for Jue, Ferry
...Othsr Foreign News.

ROME, March 2O.-Following close
upon the unsuccessful attempt to blow
up the Acini Mattel palace. the residence
Of the Hon. William Potter, American
minister to Italy, another dynamite
outrage was attempted at the Pal
azzo Alteiri, the headquarters of the
Guardi Nobili, one of the military or
CARNATIONS whose duty il is to attend
the pope and to be present at great
religious functions at the vatican.
4 boy who was passing the Pal
azzo Alteiri saw a mass Of what
he at first thought was mortar
lying upon the steps of the palace.
With boyish curiosity he ran up the
steps and was surprised to see burn
ing fuse extending from the mass. The
boy at once stepped on the fuse with
his foot and then notified the
police. GendarInes We're at
once sent To the palazzo and
were not long in ascertaining that
what the boy had at first mistaken for
a mass of mortar was n powerful bomb
containing dynamite or other high ex-
plosive. The bomb was encased in a
thick coating of plaster of paris, which
in the opinion of experts would have
added 10 the destruction that would
have been wrought had an explosion
occurred.
The news of the attempt caused con-
siderable excitement in the city. A
number OF arrests OF anarchists have
been made in the city recently, and
this fact has apparently caused the
friends of the men arrested to attempt
these outrages as a means OF revenge.
1t has transpired since the affair of
yesterday at the Mattel palace that the
police have been warned from some
unknown source that attempts would
be made TO cause explosions in various
parts of the city. Notwithstanding the
warning the mlscreants who planned
this mornings affair had no trouble in
placing their bomb on the steps of the
Palazzo Alteiri, which is one of the
best known buildings in the city,
Orders have now been issued, however,
that strict watch be kept on all sus-
picious characters and the police hope
soon to have the conspirators in GUS
tody. Another warning was received
that further attempts would shortly
be made to cause explosions

THE KANSAS MORTGAGE LAW
Features OF the Act Passed by the Last Leg

TOPEKA, March a0.-Applications are
iaily received by the secretary of state
for copies of the new mortgage law
passed at the recent session of the leg
stature. The new law has not yet been
published officially, but the principal
feature relates to the matter of re-.
lemption, which is similar To the IL.
inois law, except that il gives the
nortgagor eighteen instead of fifteen
months i'm which TO redeem his prop
erty after sale under foreclosure. II
does away with the present stay law
and the waiver of appraisement. The
mortgagor has exclusive right of re-
demption for twelve months, after
which time the Judgment ere eiitors
share the right with HIM for the ensu-
ing six months, after which the mort.
gagor again enjoys exclusive right Of
redemption. The terms of redemption
under this act are the reimbursement
of the amount paid by the mortgage
or other purchaser at shcriff's sale.
with legal interest and costs. The
effect of this provision will be to com.
pei the loaner To bid in the property To
the full amount of the loan. The right
of creditors to redeem within fifteen
months bars the right TO later sale of
the property for any balance due on
the judgment under which it was sold.
or for any inferior judgment or lien
During the eighteen months of equity
of redemption the borrower Is entitled
to occupy the property and enjoy the
returns from it, but the holder
OF the certificate of purchase may re.
cover damages for waste, and a receiver
may be appointed by the court to pre-.
vent waste when such protection is
shown To be necessary. The sheriff
ceives his fees for this sale, but mAy
not charge any commission, nor may
any stenographers' costs be charged in
any foreclosure suit, except in cases
where stenographer has actually been
employed. 1t is probable that the re-
demption law will be held to cover
foreclosure cases under present con.
tracts as well as under contracts that
may be made after the law goes into
operation. In section - OF the bill as
introduced it was provided that il
should not affect prior contracts, but
this clause was struck out in commit
tee of the whole. and the bill was
passed without any expression relating
20 this question.

TO COMBINE AGAINST RUSSIA
Jewish Banksrs Nay Teach tn, Crual Mus.
covlse Bi:tsr ass On.

cov.e 6itsr Lass On.
LONDON, March 20. - The London
Russo-Jewish committee has sent tc
every Jewish banker and bank director
bank manager, stock broker, and
"agent de change" in Europe a pas.
siona'e appeal to combine in boycott.
ing Russian loans and in boycotting
the trade in Russian securities gener-
ally The appeal is significant in con.
nection with the IA It that the Russian
government has just issued "a ulxase
providing for an internal loan, and
that Russian bankers are endeavoring
to extend their relations with money
centers outside OF Russia. Owing
to the leading position OF the
Jews in the money markets oi
Europe it is expected that the appeal,
IL complied with, will virtually drive
Russian securities of all kinds out OF
those markets and work great disaster
to Rnssian industrial enterprises. The
appeal is in retaliation for the contin.
ued severity Of the czar in dealing with
the Jews.
Sir Julian Goldsmith said that the
appeal of the Husso-.:sw;s', committee
was issued less for the purpose OF retail
iation than for the purpose of moving
Russia TO mitigate the severity of hei
treatment OF the Jews. Samuel Mon
tagu. treasurer of the committee, said
Jewish financiers need but little argn
mcnt to induce them to boycott Rus
sia. The fact that Russia has beer
obliged to have recourse to domestic
loan indicates tho extremity to whicf
she already has been reduced"

PARIS. March 2O.-The room in which
Jules Ferry died has been transferred
into mortuary and is hung with drap.

Of the deceased statesman directs
that his remains shall lie buried at

during his retirement from public life.
VI. Ribot took the news of Ferry death
TO President Carnot. who was very
much affected by the announcement.
The president said lit is the dIsap-
pearance of one of the reserve forces of
the republic-a precious reserve"
The republican newspapers appear
bordered in black.
lie Republique Francais says this
morning: "He did not hold the full
position TO which his manly virtues
and robust intellect entitled him. Re
publicans will rank him with the
noblest citizens and best servants of
the country"
La Justice says: I'VE stubbornly COM
batted him, but standing beside his
tomb we only recall the fact that he
took part with great energy in the
struggle to secure the triumph Of the
republic"
The radical La Liant 'rnc says:
among the founders and servitors of
the republic his position will remain
prominent as one of the liberators of
France.
lie Radical says: Ills death will
comfort nobody. while it will atiilct his
immediate partisans."
lie Soleil. orleanist, says: The
death of NJ. Ferry makes a great gap in
the ranks of the republican veterans
He was a narrow minded and sectariap
party man, utterly destitute of gener-
osity: but he was man"
Letiaulois, legitimist. says: "All that
the republic regards as its work sprang
from Ferry. II lie deserved well of re-
publicans he was of evil omen To the
country, for by excluding from cduca.
