Taken Sick on the Steamboat Pilgrim
 will Rest at Fall River Until Bet-
 ter.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, June 16.-Joseph Jefferson was taken i'll on board the steam CT Pilgrim last night, and upon the arrival of the boat in this city this morning he was removed to the Mellen house and Dr. Mo Kenzle and Edye were summoned. Mir. Jefferson's illness at first appeared to be of Q serious nature, and it was feared that an attack of appendicitis was threatened.
 MT. Jeferson's condition had not i'm proved this evening, and he will remain at the Mellen house until he recovers his strength.
 It was said that he was not dangerously i'll, but very weak.
 A consultation was held and a New York specialist was telegraphed for. This afternoon Thomas Jefferson arrived from Buzzards Bay and later 0. B. Jefferson and J. W. Jefferson registered from New York Tonight the physicians said that ths patient was resting quietly and would probably be all rightin the morning. Tn, order of the specialist was countermanded It was feared that MT. Jefferson was suffer | ing from a relapse of the-elandulsr trou ble, but the sickness was probably nothing more than an attack of indigestion.

THE GERMAN ELECTION.
New Ballots VIII He Necessary fl
 Many Districts.

New Ballots VIII He Necessary in
 Many Districts.
 BERLIN, June 16.-The election returns from the agricultural districts and small cities come in slowly. At noon the gov ernment candidate had apparently lost slightly in the constituencies which chose their deputies by yesterdays ballot.
 On the other hand, in the second bal lots, which now seem inevitable In some 100 or 125 districts, the government has exceptional opportunities to win many seats. This Is especially applicable to the seats contested by the radical unionists, who, in the last reichstag, voted against the army bfll, but have supported 1t on the stump, and If reelected will vote for 1t in somewhat modified form.
 At 10 o'clock this evening in the eighteen districts from which reports had been re- ceived S5 deputies had been elected. In the remaining 95 new ballots will be necessary. If the e5 deputies elected 36 will vote with the government; 49 against 1t. The par ties siding with the government had lost three seats to the opposition; the parties working against the government had lost the same number of seats to the friends of the army bill. Not one immediate sup porter of Richter had been elected. Several small riets were reported from the prov inces. In Strassbourg last evening shortly after the poll was announced 2,000 social, | ists began parading the streets and shout ing for their candidate, August Bebel. They refused to disperse when the police attacked them and many eheered for France. The military eventually broke ur | the procession and arrested eight men. No body was injured.
 In this city the police arrested Her, | Lsndsuer, an anarchist editor, on the charge of melting to riot. | At 9 c. m. returns have been received
 from 220 out of 937 electoral districts: IT | 98 candidates have been elected. In 12.
 second ballots will be accessory. The na t,onal liberals, conservatives and clericall are holding their own. The Richter rsdi
 calls remain very fer behind. Of the 9
 deputies elected four are counted for tn army bill.

The Uniformed Divisions AppIauded
 by Critical Danburfans.

The Uniformed Division ms AppIa ud cd by Critical Danburians. DANBURY, Conn June 1s-The Knights
 of Pythias have literally occupied the town yesterday and today. By actual count
 there were 4,500 visiting Knights in town early this morning, and the number has swelled steadily. To-day was given up al- most entirely to the celebration of the an- nual field day of the Uniformed Rank, and the meeting is acknowledged by all to be the best in the history of Connecticut Py- thians. The early part of the day was oc- cupied in visiting and getting acquainted and at 10:30 the richly uniformed Knights began to form for the parade.
 At II o'clock this took place, and was one of the most interesting features of the whole two-dsys program. There were something over 5000 men in line. Two whole regiments psraded over 8 short line of march. There were twelve divisions. Three quarters of them were represented almost to a man, while the other divisions were more spsrssly filled. The marching excited much applause all along the line of march.
 The competitive drill between the vari- ous divisions was held at the Y. N. O. A. ball field at the conclusion of the parade. Only two divisions entered. The Torring ton division, under Captain Westermsn, with thirty men. and the Bridgeport di- vision, Captain Smith, thirty men. The former was awarded first prl.s and the lat ter second The judges were Colonel O. 0. Quien, O. D. Ryder aud Captain T. F. the drill. The exhibition brought to 6 close the convention of the Knights and most of them left for their homes on the evening trsins.
 It has been decided to hold the next meeting in Waterbury on the second Tues day in September, 1894.
 The election of officers was as follows: Grand chancellor, l.. F. Norton of New Haven; grand vice chancellor, Frank R. White of Waterbury; grand prelate, W. N. Potter of Willimsntic; grand keeper of records and seal, H. O. Case of Hartford i; grand master of exchequer, W. L. Morgan | of New Britain; grand master at arms, Thomas s. Williams of New Haven.

 Mir. Norton was born in Wolcott, Feb ruary 13, 1888 At the grand lodge seH-
 sion in 1890 he was appointed grand mas
 ter-st-arms; in 1891, at grand lodge ses-
 sion, was elected grand prelste, and in
 1899 was unanimously elected grand vice
 chancellor. MT. Norton Is also an active
 worker in the uniform rank. and Is at the | present time captain of Ccmstock division No. 9, of New Haven.
 | Among the high officers of the order | who were present none were accorded greater honor than Supreme Chancellor
 William W. Blackwell, the supreme chan
 cellor of the Knights of Pythias in thu | world.

CAUSED LOSS OF LIFE.

Fifteen Dynamite Cartridges Ex- ploded-One Mans Head Blown on -Much Destruction of Property at West Hoboken.
 N1w YORK, June 16.-A dynamite e1- plosion which will result in loss of life and which caused much destruction to prop erty in the neighborhood of Summit and Paterson avenues, West Hoboken, occurred at about 6:30 o'clock last evening.
 A gang of Italian laberers excavating for sewer on Summit avenue, were putting their tools into large box 8 few yards from the sidewalk. Nicolo Garcslo was lighting the night lamp when a fearful e1- plosion occurred. There were ffteen dyns- mite cartridges in the box, and all exploded simultaneously. Garcello was thrown ssv- eral feet, and when picked up portion of chance for his recovery.
 August Sohidle, who stood about 100 feet from the box, was knocked down and his shoulder dislocated. Mrs. O. Nestle, who keeps 8 store on Summit avenue, near the place, was thrown to the floor and severely bruised about the breast and WAiop. hok uouso duo stoIo VIII nave to be rebuilt.
 Mrs. Conlon, who was sitting in her par Tor, was thrown violently down, and one of her arms dislocated. She was also cut by broken glass.
 The house at 103 Summit avenue, owned by Gottlieb Reymsnn, was almost complete ly destroyed. Reymann saw the Italians putting away their tools. He noticed @ puff of smoke just before the explosion was heard. He knew that dynamite was kept in the box, and ran to the door, warning the inmates of the house to get out They had barely time to do so when the building, which stood next to the vacant lot, was de- molished by the explosion. The house at Ill Summit avenue, which alec stood on one end of the lot, near the tool box, was wrecked. The inmates es- capped uninjured.
 Surig's grocery store at 101 Summit ave- nue was completely demolished. The house of Tax Collector Conlon, 106 Summit ave nue, was badly damaged, the front wall bulgipg out In 8 threatening manner. One of the crowbars which had been put in the tool box, was found on top of a house across the street.
 It Is question whether the explosion was caused by the Italian, Garcello, csre- lessly throwing lighted match into the tool box or whether the dynamite cart ridges were exploded by concussion caused by the tools being thrown into the box The total loss is thought not to exceed | $25, 900.

oRooKo THURMAN CAPTURED

"CROOKo THURMAN CAPTURED. Escaped From Kings County Peniten-
 tiary the Latter Part of Last Month
 Arrested in Fall River.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, June 16.-James Furman, the notorious Black Crook who escaped from Kings county penitentiary on May %, was arrested in this oity this morning by James Hughes and Thomas AcAanus, keepers.
 The prisoner was captured in bar room in Answan street, kept by colored man named Davis. He never saw the off, cers till they were on him or probably there would have been @ severe struggle, ss the escaped convict had a loaded re- volver in his pocket.
 He was immediately taken to the Cen tral police station, where he remained till noon hour. Then he was taken to the depot in hack on the 1925 Providence train in order to take the Shore Line train for New York.
 According to the officers statement the prisoner Is one of the most notorious crooks of his race. He cut his way out of the Black Maria some time ago as he was being conveyed to the prison.
 It is said his whereabouts was disclosed by one of his own race, whose cupidity was aroused when the prisoner told him there was large reward for his arrest in New York. The officers, when interro- gated on this point, refused to answer, and said they were not allowed to tell any
