there we're two and 3 half times as
mzay deaths OF negroes IS Of whites.
IA W;iimicstcn, whera taere IS only =
s.u&iI excess of black population, there
we're fourteen deaths OF whites and
OF negroes thirty eight, CT nearly

there ara considerably more whites
than negroes, the negroes dying mum
cered more than two 10 one, tie ratio
according to race population being
much greater. O.hsr towns show .
a Ike record. Tne UaUsoal mortality

DYNAMITE IN SCRANTON.

SCRANTON. Pa. June %, 1ss7.-Dyna-
mite explosion early this morning in
South Scranton blew up the business
block of Leon Olchefollxi, a double dwell
ing block owned by him, and single
house owned by Michael O'Hara The
business block, two story building, was
torn to pieces. Twenty other houses
and all the windows blown out and plas-
ter torn from the walls. The shock was
felt all over the city.
The cause of the explosion Is unknown
but Olchefski places its perpetration upon
enemies he made during political and
church disputes in that section, he being
one of the principals in trouble which led
to split in the Polish Catholic congre-
cation. Olchefski was seriously injured
in saving his wife, and his recovery is
doubtful. Following the, explosion the
wrecked buildings took fire, but the fire.
men kept the flames from spreading.
The other properties seriously damaged
were tho brick business block and
dwelling of Charles Johnson, dwellings of
William Granbo, Charles Keifer John
Kline, Michael Joyce, DR.. J. j. Walsh,
James Welsh. Adam Fflinger Bridget
Iavelle. Joseph Denims, Philip Klein.
Carl Scheurman and George Gardner and
B. Huss' blacksmith shop In some Of
the houses the sleeping people were cover
ed with falling plaster The infant child
of Michael Joyce was dangerously in
jured and a little son of John Klein
almost suffocated The total loss will
reach $25, 900 The ruins are being cleared
this morning to ascertain if there are any
victims buried in them.s

pension cases.
1t took half an hour to read the list
of private pension bills. When it was
concluded, Mr.. Morgan (Ala.) commented
on the fact that the men and women
named in these bills must wait for re-
lief owing to the inaction of one of the
branches of Congress. At this time
Congress was without the opportunity or
liberty to pass one Of these pension bills.
Congress was not even in session as
serted Mr.. Morgan. The lawyers of the
country would look into this question,
and there was a great deal of trouble
ahead over this question of Congress be-
ing in session.
At first Mr. Morgan urged the adOp-
ton of a resolution postponing all action
on pension bills until next December, but
he was dissuaded from this, saying his
main desire was to call the attention OF
pensioners to the manner in which they
were Knocked by having bills reported to
an inactive Congress.
