his ordinary trot WINS mere shuttle.
Yet he covered ground surprisingly,
even when apparently only lounging
along. His only serious fault, from
practical point of view, was hard

The man who would run from a lion greets

chance of escaping from the lion than he has
from the effects of i'll health. The lions
work is quickly done and the man is out of

MAY HAVE BEEN A BOMB.
Terrific Explosion in an English Railway
ation-Ma Injured.


LONDON, April PA tremendous
explosion occurred on the underground
railway at 5 30 o'clock, as a train from
the city was making its usual stop at
the Aldersgate station. The glass roof
Of the station was blown out and the
platform strewn with debris. A gen.
eral panic ensued. After quiet had
been restored it was found that a first
class coach had been completely
wrecked and that its occupants were
lying about manned and bleeding. Ten
of the injured were found to be III a
]precarious condition and were removed
to hospitals. The cause of the explo-
sion is not known, but it Is believed &c
have been the result Of an accu mula'
ton of gas, which became ignited in
some way. Many persons, however,
believe that the disaster was caused by
the explosion of a bomb which had
been placed in the station with the III.
tention of wrecklng it.

SINGLE TAX AGITATION.
MANY of the Late Minnesota
IeCisiature VIII Make 1t an Issue.

Many Nenberso of the Late Minnesota
Legislature VIII Make 1t an Issue.
ST. PAUL. April 2S.-Ihe campaign
for legislation III the direction OF tax
reform by the next Legislature has al
ready begun. a bill was introduced
late III the session just closed which
proposed IA constitutional amendment
authorizing counties, cities, villages
and townships to exempt from taxation
the improvements on real estate and
increase proportionately the tax upon
unlmproved and idle land. The bill
received a favorable report from the
judiciary committee of the senate, but
not early enough to permit OF action by
both houses before adjournment. 1t Is
proposed, two years from now, to be-
gin work early III the session and to
that end agitation has already been be-
gun looking to an examination of the
subject by the people and instructions
to members of the next Legislative body.
Lieutenant Governor J. l.. Gibbs and
&c members of the senat and 90 mem
bers of the house have joined in a state
ment explanatory of the situation, and
this number by no means includes all
the members of the two houses who are
favorable to the reform proposed. The
so house members, for example, repre-
sent only about so Of the whole num-
Der of ia who could be seen, and sew
eral members who were most active in
pressing the matter for consideration
are not on the list. The statement
minus the signatures follow:
The bill of the Tax Reform associa-
ton, to permit a reduction of taxes on
improved lands and an increase on
lands held idle, has failed of passage.
We believe this is largely due to lack
of time to present its merits to the
members of the legislature, who, be
cause of the great burden of duties i'm
posed upon them at the close of the
legislative session, have not been able
TO give the matter the consideration
it merits. We now ask the people tC
give his matter their careful consdera.
tion and be prepared to speak through
their representatives at the pext session
of the Legislature.

Disposition of the Bankruptcy Bill Anx-

WASHINGTON, April 26.-It is gener-
ally believed that the passage of Sena-
tor Nelson's substitute bankruptcy bill
will result in bankruptcy legislation at
this session. Representative Bailey,
whose bill in the Fifty-fourth congress
made about the same provisions as the
Nelson bill, said
Il have no doubt Of the passage Of
the bill by the house, and will do my
utmost to have it considered at an, early
day"
The bill is looked upon as non-parti-
san. and Republicans and Democrats
who are interested in the subject, are
now anxious it should pass at this ses-
sion.

THROUGHOUT MICHIGAN
Republican State Ticket Elected by
Over 10000 Plurality.

DETROIT, Mich, April 5.-Returns from
the State show that Judge Charles ID.
Long, Republican, has been reelected JUS
tice of the Supreme Court. defeating George
l.. Yaple, fusion candidate. Charles ID.
Lawton and William j. Cocker, Republican
candidates for regents of the University Of
Michigan, are also elected. The vote was
light and the free-silver sentiment was
shown in several of the cities more strongly
than in the November election. This ap-
pears to have been especially true in the
southern tier of counties. In few cases
on the votes for city officers Republican
majoritieS of last fall were turned into flu
sion victories. AS usual the results to
local officers is considerably split up polit-
ically.
Midnight estimates based on returns thus
far received from the State, give Long up
wards of 900 plurality for Supreme Court
justice. The Republican candidates for re-
gents of the university are elected by prob
ably somewhat lesses pluralities, as Judge
Long ran ahead of his ticket generally.
McKinleys majority in Michigan was
about 5000. Pingree, for Governor, was 20,
600 greater. To-day's vote was light at
most points. and while many free-silveV
gains are noted in the smaller cities. there

with Judge Long at the Head,
Elected by Over 10000.

The spring elections yesterday through
out Ohio ana Michigan and at Evansville,
Ind, resulted in Democratic gains, owing
largely to division of sentiment among Re-
publicans on local questions. In Cincinnati
Gustav Tafel, Democrat was elected mayor
by plurality of 1870. Thousands Of Re-
publicans refused to vote their ticket be-
cause it had been named by boss" and
the Democratic victory may therefore be
regarded as a defeat for ''bossism' in
municipal politics. AT Cleveland the Re
publicans were also divided and the DEM
ocrats. as usual, voted their ticket straight.
The result was a decreased Republican
plurality. At Detroit. where Pingree and his
followers have generally had everything
their way. the people gave Pingreeism
rebuff by electing w. G. Maybury. the DEM
ocratic candidate for mayor, by about 600.
Besides the municipal contests. Michigan
held a state election. The Republican tick
ct, headed by Judge Charles D. Long for
justice of the Supreme Court, defeated the
fusion ticket.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, April 5.-The result
of the city election here to-day was sur

here for five years past, operating urder
the new city charter, and great opposition
has sprung up against that measure, which
is blamed as furnishing one of the reasons
for the result, which was wonderful
Democratic victory. William NJ Akin, jr..
is elected mayor by majority of 1888. this
being a net Democratic gain of 3,l91. The
Democrats also elect eleven councilnen by
majoritieS almost as large as that Of the

SYLVESTER SCOVEL WEEDS.
He Marries N st. Louis Girl and Rush
es Away to Greece.

ST. LOUIS, April 5.-Sylvester Scovel of
Cleveland, o., the Cuban correspondent of
the New York World, and Miss Frances
Cabanne were married to-day at the home
of the brides parents. Mr.. and Mrs. S. A
Cabanne. Mr.. Scovel is Iwenty-seven years
of age. and is a member of the Union Club
OF Cleveland, the Famous Cleveland city
troop, and also of the Cotillion Club Of
that city. He was never employed on any
newspaper until early in 1896 when he Sc
cured an appointment from the New York
World TO report the war in Cuba. Mr. SEQ
vel was the first correspondent TO reach
the camp OF the insurgents, and his letters
from the camps of Gomez and Maceo were
the first that told the exact situation of
the revolutionist forces. In the fall of 1896
Scovel was captured and imprisoned by the
Spanish After several weeks incarcera-
tion in Spanish fort Scovel was released
He returned 10 his home In Cleveland about
three months ago.
The bride is the daughter of one OF the
oldest and most prominent families of st.
Louis. She is twenty-five years old, and a
sister of ''Dute" Cabanne. We'll known on
the bicycle track. The marriage caused
considerable surprise in society circles But
few, If any, knew that IL was TO take place
Even relatives OF the bride were ignorant
or the expected nuptials until late Monday
morning, when they received invitations by
telephone TO attend the ceremony AS a
result there were but few guests and they
were confined TO immediate relatives
When Scovel returned from the island II
was planned that the wedding should take
place in June. Two days ago Mr. Scovel
received a summons from the World tc
proceed at once 10 Athens as war cor
respondent This was the reason for his
hurried visit TO St Louis and the hasty
nuptials Miss Cabanne had agreed by tel
egfaph to at once join fortunes with him
and 20 with her husband 10 the seat of war.
IL was imperative that they catch the Van
dalia at noon Monday as the steamer upon
which the correspondent Will journey sails
from New York early Thursday morning
