DIR. M.CURRY STILL IN MEXICO, THOUGH
 WANTED IN ANNIsToN.
 ANNIsToN, Nov. H.-[Special. l-Chief of Police Prather, who left Anniston on Saturday, November 8, for Monterey. Mex, after Dr. SamuelJ J. McCurry, wanted here for performing a criminal operation upon and causing the death of Matte Tucker, a pretty, but unfortunate country girl, some two months since, is finding 1t harder to bring his man back than he thought. The trouble is with the extradf- ton papers, however. McCurry was located and arrested in Monterey about five weeks after the crime was committed. Chief Prather went to Mexico immediately to see that the man was held and the neces- sary papers were fixed up as quickly as possible and forwarded to him by way of the City of Mexico. Then they had to be sent back to the City of Mexico on account of some flaw, and finally returned to Wash ington for a complete revision. h the meantime Minister Gray, acting under h. structions from Secretary Gresham, IS having McCurry held by the Mexican authorities, and Chief Prather is still in Monterey waiting to get his man.

A BAD EXPLOSION.

HOUSTON, Tex, Nov. 21.-This morning a long string of cars, with an oil tank on the rear, was being backed down into the Southern Pacific yards. An incoming en- gineer saw danger of Q collision and stopped, but there being no brakeman near the oil car to give signal it was backed with terrific force on top of the locomotive. An explosion followed and burning oil soon enveloped some fourteen cars of oot- ton. five cars of lumber and ten oars of miscellaneous freight, which were nearly all totally destroyed. The locomotive was SO badly burned as to be almost useless. The total loss aggregates about $50, ,000.

BASKET OF DYNAMITE
FOUND IN THE COURT HOUSE GUARDED BY
 COLONEL corr.

FOUND IN THE COURT HOUSE GUARDED BY
 COLONEL corr.
 COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 21.-A striking and important piece of evidence was presented to the Colonel Colt court of inquiry today. It was basket containing forty sticks of dynamite that was concealed in the court house the morning after the rioting at the Washington court house. The finding was kept a secret till today. It shows that the rioters, after the shooting planned to blow up the court house, troops and all.
 Colonel Colt was warned of this by teie- phone message, and placing troops in the balconies of the building he ordered them to halt all persons attempting to approach the court house that night and to fire upon any one who refused to stop. Several shots were fired at persistent skulkers, and then all the rioters disappeared. It now seems probable that this precaution prevented the angry mob from destroying the troops.

San Procopio, Oppodi , Mamirtino. SciIla aud Palmi, all in Reggie al Calabria, and with total population of some 28, ,00O, are little more than heaps of ruins. Many destitute families from the ruined towns are pillaging the damaged shops and houses. The total damage is es- timated now as nearly 1000, 900 lire. The volcano on Stromboli island is in full erup- ton and Etna and Vesuvius are active.

might be shown to have been guilty ot con- tempt. However, before passing upon that issue he would hear the merits of the ap- plication for injunction, for the reason that such hearing would tend, to determine the measure of the optempt, and the identity of the parties concerned in the infraetion of il counts order.
 The argument, therefore, throughout the day proceeded with investigation of the circumstances attending the stock holders meeting of October 8, which re- suited in an adjournment, and, as the plaintiffs claim, Q failure to elect directors.
 The counsel on both sides reviewed the various actions of the previous injunction and litigation of the past and at the con clusion of his argument Mir. Crawford ar- raigned the action of the Cincinnati, Ham ilton and Dayton directors, following close upon their election as directors of the English company.
 Their answer admitted that they had sold to themselves certain shares Of stock belonging to- the English company, in which they were directors, thus constitut- ing a breach of trust, for which counsel claimed they should be held liable. The argument and accusation transpired just prior to the adjournment of the court and created quite a sensation in the minds of the spectators. MT. Crawford will resume his argument this morning, and MT. kitt- ridge, counsel for defendants, will com plete the argument in the case. The ter imitation of the proceedings will probably occur about noon.

Even the Grange Waking I'm.

How much in earnest the farmers are in
repudiating the two old parties, and how
far the farmers organizations are imbued
with the same spirit is very we'll evidenced
by the subjoined extract from the Grange
News, published at Normal, Illinois, and
the official organ of the Illinois State
Grange:
THE ANARCHIST
Where is he? Where does he exert his in
f1uence? He is in the Democratic and Re-
publican parties. Exerts his influence in
legislatures and congress. Only about
one million and half opposed him at the
ballot box. 1t was a bigger jolt than he
expected. What has this anarchist been
doing? Using his influence
'"To corner the necessities of life
''To buy the souls of stranded girls
ITO buy the votes of starving working
men.
'"Fo keep the saloon in politics.
ITO appropriate government bonds.
tTo perpetuate national banks.
'To buy gold-bearing bonds.
ITO deal in cut-throat mortgages.
ITO buy the supreme court.
'"To buy his own kind of legislation.
ITO quash the peoples legislature.
ITO officer the navy.
'"To control the militia.

ITO control all telegraphs. +
"To control all daily papers.
ITO control all campaign funds.
ITO dictate the issues of both old parties.
ITO control all ballot boxes.
eff anything has escaped to buy it."
The Grange is the Oldest, the most con-
sentative, organization of farmers in this
country. If it's press has come to this
understanding of the purposes and the acts
of the two old parties how are the men,
bers of the Grange likely to vote next
Grange members, are other farmers likely
to fall behind?

is only a little, passing shower?-Exchange.

CHICAGO, May 22.-At the opening of the
speculative wheat market this morning the
pit encountered large force of selling or
ders, causing Il weak opening. All offerings
were. however, we'll taken and a slight
advance on the opening figure scored by
1915 a. m. From that time on UP to the
close the tendency was downward. and by
1890 D. nj. full cent decline for July was
scored.
The reason for this weakness was not far
to seek. Yesterday prices went up on senti-
