A FAST COLT.

CyclsAsl. Was the Youngsters Name and
He Richly Deserved 1t.
Several men gathered about horse
near the western market commenting
upon the prominence of the beast s
ribs and general lankiness. The ami
NAL belonged to farmer living near
Ypsilanti, and it was said, never per-
mitted grass to grow under it's feet on
the road The farmer was not pleased
with the remarks and the strong in
ferences that the poor thing had never
realized the sensation of corn and oats
"What do you call your horse?'' was
asked :.
"Cyclone, and don't he look it?" re-
piled the man from the rural districts.
"Cyclone! What name! He certain
ly looks as if one had struck him"
'That's what happened to him, my
friend. 1t was just like this. You re-
member the awful breeze we had out to
Ypsilanti about three years ago? This
feller was sucking colt at the time
and was in the barn with two horses.
The cyclone, regular old hummer, came
elong and thrashed the barn Off its legs
and dropped it nigh on to 100 yards
away. After the twister had raised all
the hob, fences and sheds it could we
went out to look things up. The two
horses were stone dead and the colt
would you believe it?-was nowhere to
be found.
"Next day I turned over the hen
coop, which lay in the field half a mile
away. Right in that coop and laying
on the door which faced down was the
colt. He commenced kicking when he
heard us, and we took him out in a
hurry. He wasn't scared a bit, tell
you, and was cool as cucumber. The
neighbors say they saw the coop goin
through the air and the colt after it.
The little feiier caught the coop and
got inside of it to save himself, that's
what he did. That's the plain truth,
and if you don t believe it ask the colt.
Good day, strangers. Detroit Free

Three Killed and Ten Wounded in
an Explosion.
Philadelphia, March 28.-Three men
were blown to atoms and ten other
persons were injured by an explosion
Of nitro-glycerihs at the Repauno
chemical works near this city. The
injuries Were mainly from broken glass
and are not serious. The works are
situated on the New Jersey side of the
Delaware. The explosion occurred at
1924 o'clock, when the workmen were
returning from dinner. Most Of them
had not reached their posts or the loss
of life would have been greater The
conclusion was felt for miles around.
The mutilated remains of the three
victims We're, gathered into two buck
cts. The explosion was Of such ter
rifle force that besides totally destroy
ing the two houses, it tore hole fully
eighty feet long and twenty-five feet
wide in the ground where they had
stood. The cause of the explosion is
assigned to excessively high tempera-
ture III one Of the houses.

KING THE TARIFF
AMENDMENTS OFFERED By THE
DEMOCRATS REJECTED.

Vote on
Debate Over an Amendment to
Suspend the Duty ON Any Dutia-
bic Article Manufactured or Con.
trolled by . Truat-CivN Service
In the Senate.

washington, Nl1rcl -. - The tariff
Dill was thrown open for amendment
under the fiye.minute rule in the house,
but seven weary hours Of work only
served to dispose of 8 of the 1852 pages
of the bill. All the amendments Of
Tered by the Democrats were rejected.
Three slight committee amendments
were adopted and also one to increase
the duty on white lead from 2 IL to 3
cents per pound, the rate of the act of
1870. The present duty is IL cents.
1t was adopted by strict party vote.
The discussion covered a wide range
OF political topics, and at times both
interesting and exciting. BY far the
most important feature Of the day was
the attempt of Mr.. Dockery of Mis-
souri,, Mr.. Cooper of Texas and others.
packed by the entire opposition, to Sc
cure vote on an amendment, offered
IN multitude of forms, which pro-
vided that in case any article made
dutiable by the bill was controlled by
trust or combination, tile duty upon
such article should be suspended. Mr..
Dingley made the point of order that
the amendment was not german to the
dutiable list and would not be in order
until the free list was reached. For
almost three hours this point of order
was fought over. The Democrats con-
tended that if the amendment was
ruled out it would never be voted on
as the free list in all human probable
lty would not be reached before the
final vote was taken. The chair sus-
tanned the point of order. An appeal
was taken but the chair was sustained
by a strict party vote-15S to 1O4.
Another brief session OF the civil
service occurred during the open ses-
sion of the senate. Mr.. Gallinger of
Nebraska presented several forms is
sued by the civil service commission to
substantiate his recent statement that
certain applicants for Office We're re-
CURED to hop on one foot for twelve
feet. He said his statement had been
challenged by several penny-a-liners
and by one member of the civil service
commission. The senator read the
hopping" provision and several other
questions as to the weight and height
OF the typesetters. which he character
lied as absurd. Referring to the size
and weight requirements, Mr.. Gal
linger said: "Phil Sheridan could not
have served the government if the
civil service commission had got after
him." The matter was referred to
the civil service copnlittee. A resolu-
ton was adopted asking the president
for information as to the death of two
American sailors at Santiago de Cuba,
also resolutions asking the attorney
general for information of any propo-
sition to sell the Union Pacific railroad.
At 1850 o'clock the senate went into
executive session and at adjourned
until Monday.
