DEADLY DYNAMITE.
Hungarian Boarding House in Pennsylvania
Blown Up and Three Persons Killed-A
Shake-Up In Wisconsin.

Blown Up and Three Persons KilIed-A
Shake-Up In Wisconsin.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. ga large
Hungarian boarding house at Laurel
Run, this county, was blown to atoms
by dynamiters at o'clock yesterday
morning, and three of the inmates
killed outright, four fatally injured,
and half dozen seriously hurt. The
fends who planned the explosion did
their work well. despite the fact that
part of the plan failed. They placed
about twenty-four sticks of dynamite
under the building. each being about
inches long and weighing about half
pound. A wire connected the
sticks with a battery about 50 yards
away. When the signal was given
only about half dozen of the sticks
exploded. They were sufficient. how.
ever, to completely wreck the build
ing, not beam or plank of which was
left standing. Several of the inmates
who occupied beds on the upper floor
were hurled 80 feet in the air. Some
of them escaped fatal injuries by
alighting on the trees near by. Half
dazed by fear and sleep, they managed
to hold on to the limbs until they re-
covered their sense and were able to
reach the ground.
At daylight the officials of the Lee
high Valley railroad were notified and
n special train with number of physi-
clans was hurried to the scene. The
doctors dressed the wounds of the in
20 ho
hospital in this city. The boarding
boss SAYS he is at a loss to know what
prompted the dastardly deed. AS far
as he knows he has no enemies in the
world. Some of the boarders think the
motive was robbery. as several of them
were known to have considerable
money in their possession. If this was
the object of the fiends it is plain why
they placed so much of the explosive
under the building. They wanted to
kill every person in the building in
order to get the plumber and then es-
cape detection. Up to : o'clock last
night no arrests had been made.
SHAKEN BY AN EXPLOSION.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. Oct. 29.-This
yesterday by an explosion which oc-
Cured on the summit of a hill mile
from town, where was stored in small
building five tons of dynamite. The
stuff had been sent here on consign-
ment from a Chicago house to a local
hardware merchant. 1t is presumed
that rife bullet fired by hunter into
the building lodged in some powder
that was in storage and that the per-
son lost his life.
The ground was torn up to great
depth for some distance, while trees
and fences for many rods were torn
and twisted and quite a number Of
trees were pulled up by the roots.
The glass in every farm house for miles
around was shattered. In this city
the effect was disastrous to the plate
glass fronts and windows in numbers
of dwellings were blown out. The
shock came while people were on their
way to church and threw women and
children down and several women
tainted.
The village of Bloomer. l. miles dis
tant from the scene. appears to have
felt the force more severely than here.

Rich Gold Fields.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-The steam
er Alameda, which arrived yesterday,
brought only three passengers from
Australia. This was owing largely to
the fact that nearly everybody was
on the rush to the gold fields of west
ern Australia-Coolgardie. While the
steamer was in Sydney harbor over a
thousand miners arrived from the New
Zealand gold fields en- route for the
new Eldorado. Some of the finds are
phenomenal, and in one instance four
cuts of rock yielded 555 ounces of gold.
The Londonderry mine, one of the
first discovered. was sold to an English
syndicate for 81, 250,O 200.

The Agricultural Department Gives Some
Figures on the Cost of Making Bread.
WASHINGTON. Get. 29.-ln view OF the
crusade for cheaper bread inaugurated
in number of cities, including Wash
ington, where the price has been re-
duced from 5 to cents per loaf, as
result of the crusade, the agricultural
department has given out bulletin
on the "cost of bread taken from the
forthcoming report of Prof. w. o. At
water on the nutritive value of food.
1t says:
In practice 100 pounds OF -four will make
1873 to I37 pounds Of bread. an average being
1856 pounds. Flour. such as is used by bakers
is now purchased in the eastern states at not
over 81 per barrel This would make the cost
Of -four in pound of bread about IL cents.
Allowing 4 cent for the shortening and salt
which is certainly very liberal, the materials
for pound of bread would cost not more than
cents. OF course there should be added
TO this the cost Of labor, rent, in
terest on investment, expense of SELL
ing, etc, to make the actual cost
TO the baker Very few accurate weigh
ings and analysis of bakers bread have been
made in this country. so far as am aware; but
the above statement represents the facts as
nearly as l have been able to obtain them.
The average weight of a number of specimens
of 10 cent loaves purchased in Middletown
Conn. was one and one-fourth pounds. This
makes the prices to the consumer cents per
pound. The price of bread and the size of the
loaf are practically the same now as when flour
cost twice as much.
The cost Of bakers bread is a comparatively
small matter to the person who buys only a
loaf now and then, but in the eastern states
and in the larger towns throughout the coun-
try. many people, and especially those with
moderate incomes. and the poor, buy their
bread Of the baker. Six cents per pound or
even half that amount for the manufacture and
distribution seems a very large amount. In
the larger cities competition has made bread
cheaper, but even there the difference between
the cost of bread to the well to do family who
bake it themselves and the family of the poor
man who buys it Of the baker, is unfortunately

eral Olney. speaking to-day of the
statement of the assistant district at
torney at Kansas City, Mo-, that there
was no law by which election frauds
could be punished in United States
courts, said that, without speaking as
authoritatively as he would on care

he was of the opinion that the Kansas
City attorney was correct. BY the act
passed by congress last February
repeating the federal election law,
congress had done away with
all election paraphernalia so far
as the United States courts were
concerned and had taken away their
jurisdiction. At the same time there
was no doubt in his mind that state
laws were in existence by virtue of
which election frauds, whether of
registration or voting, could be pun

Agnes T. D'Arcumble, founder of the

of the foremost charity workers in the

address in the state charities conven-

be enacted to prevent large families

no right to bring children into the

educate them or be certain that they
would be physically strong. The con-
vention agreed with Mrs. ID Arcumbles
