DID IT WITH \ RATCHET.
Constable Forces His WAY Into the First
Baptist Church

Yesterday Constable Russell had an
other time in the proceedings brought
by Rev. Hall against the First Baptist
church. Constable Russell who had the
chairs and furniture attached found the
door locked against him. and was
warned by two attorneys, members of
the church, that if he attempted to go
in there and take them. he would do so
at his peril. The contable studied a
little while and consulted Senator
O'Bryan, who advised him that if the
doors were not opened for him TO break
it down and get the goods. The doors
were not opened and the constable took
a hatchet and forced an entrance. The
constable and the attorneys for the
church afterwards made a truce, the
terms of which were that an armistic

yesterday of his promotion on the Chi
cago and Alton railroad. He now &C.
cupies the position OF general yard
master and trainmaster OF the whole
terminal system at St. Lotus with head
quarters at ST. Louis. This promotion
was on account of Mr.. Ruggle's brav-
cry during the Debs' strike. While the
strike was at the highest and the rail-
road officials panic-stricken. the Chi
cago and Alton officials sent for Mr..
Ruggles at st. Louis and asked him TO
come to Chicago at once and take charge
of the yards there. Roll had his old
WIGHT pluck with him and went TO
Chicago. and in day or two the trains
on the Chicago and Alton began To move
out of Chicago. The officials told him
at the time that ne would he promoted
for his actions. and day before yester-
day the reward came.

WOODLAND, Jan. Ia. There is much
speculation concerning what disposition
will be made of the cases of Knox, Comp
ton and Mullen when the time arrives for
fixing a day for their trial. District At
torney Hopkins will not talk for publica-
ton, but those familiar with the proceed
ings in the other trials are of the opinion
that the testimony produced against these
defendants is not strong enough to result
in q conviction, and it is an open secret
that the prosecution has, up to date, dis
covered no stronger evidence to offer 1t
is stated that if Knox and the others are
put on trial they will produce indisputable
evidence that they endeavored to procure
Worden's arrest on July 10, fearing that
he would commit some rash act that
would prejudice the public against the
strikers. They will also prove that they
knew nothing of the movements OF Worden
and his associates on July IL, and that
they distrusted him and others because
they believed he was hot-headed enough
to use dynamite. Public opinion will sus
tain the District Attorney if he decides to
dismiss the cases, as the people of the
county wish to avoid the heavy expense of
the trials if a conviction is improbable

Bynum (D.) of Indiana resumed a hostile
attitude toward it, indicating a disposition
to flibuster if necessary to defeat it.
Bailey Cd of Texas suggested that Hatch

Agriculture. Bynum thereupon moved a
recess of one hour. On a rising vote the
motion was defeated to III. Bynum

An aye and no vote disclosed quorum,
but as the morning hour expired no action
was had on the oleomargarine bill. A spe

The first bill called up was that coming

EXPLOSION OF 4 BOMB.
Considerable Damage Caused By the
UedpOn of an anarchist.

Considerable Damage Caused By the
Uedpon of an anarchist.
PARIS, Jan. IA bomb explosion about
midnight in front of IS Rue Monceau is be-
lieved to have been the work of anarchists.
Nobody was killed, but considerable dam
age was done. The bomb is described as
of the reversible sort, chiefly charged with
dynamite packed in gunpowder and con-
cealed in an English tin cracker box,
strengthened by thick band of alumni
um. The police have no clew to the Gull
prit, though some policemen in adjacent
streets saw man running swiftly away a
short time before the explosion. 1t APP
pears the porter on duty at So Rue Mon
ceau Just before midnight was informed by
passer-by that a suspicious-looking par
eel had been placed on the window ledge
of the ground floor. The porter seized the
parcel and hurled it into the middle of the
street, where it exploded. Showers of shot
were hurled in all directions, breaking all
the windows III the vicinity, although they
were protected by strong wooden shutters.
Following the explosion there was panic
among the people residing in the immedi-
ate vicinity. No. IS Rue Monceau was for
merly the residence of Prince Victor Napo-
leon and its front was considerably dam
aged.
The Chiefo of the Municipal Laboratory is
inclined to think the explosion was more in
the nature of a dangerous joke than an
anarchist outrage. He is reported to have
ascertained the bomb contained no pro-
jectiles, and was apparently only charged
with gunpowder.
