Tammany Society will Elect.

New YORK, April 1.-THE annual cleo
ton Of the Tammany society takes place
tonight. While the pretence that the
Tammany organization is an organization
separate from Tammany Hall, and even

known that its Republican members are
exceedingly close to Tammany Hall; that
always in the hands of men most promi-
nent in Tammany Hall politics. The
election is looked forward to with great
deal Of interest. One reason is that the
real relations between Tammany Hall
and eX-Mayor Hugh J. Grant will be dis
closed. The eXmayOr is one of the
SachemS of the Tammany society. Mr..
Cookers voice in the Tammany society is
nearly, if not quite, as potent as in Tam
many Hall, and there is a movement on
foot 10 make some chances in the officers.

A Dynamite Explosion.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April u. An explosion
burg. last Saturday night, which wreck
ed a battery of boilers, but resulted in no
other damage. The explosion was caused
by a dynamite cartridge, mySteriouSly
placed on the coal stack. 1t is believed
the attempt was made to blow
up the mill since the failure of
the late strike by colored men who have
been superceding the whites, and the
feeling against the negroes is very bitter.
There were a hundred and fifty men
mostly colored, working near the boilers.
aud that some were not killed or injured
is providential. Thorough investigation
is being made.

J. IL. S. BARLOW.

Isaac Slultz, Of Amblersburg
who was indicted this term Of court
in two cases for dispensing the
amber colored fluid without the
necessary legal papers, was arrested
Sunday by Ex Sheriff Jackson and
brought to jail. 1O came into
court and begged to be allowed to
return home TO procure bail, so the
Judge directed that IN officer be
sent with him. and Constable Geo.
Hoffman was detailed to accompany
the old gentleman to get bail.
Yesterday the Constable returned
empty handed and reported that
the prisoner had given bail-'1eg
bail" II seems the old fellow
looked so mild and innocent and
appeared so harmless that the guard
never thought that he would "make
way for liberty" except as directed
by the court. So while they were
skirmishing around over there ln
the brush on the mountain, the old
fellow, watching his chance, was
gone like a wild turkey and escaped
before the Constable thought of it.
lie says he didn't want to shoot the
old fellow and couldn't catch him
in the brush and so had to come
back without him, although lie
hated to do it.
