President Cleveland was overruled by the
House yesterday n the matter of vetoes of
two pension bills. They were for the bene-
fit Of Rachel Patton and Caroline Mowatt

lost their second husbands. The bills were
vetoed, the messages stated, upon the
ground that their passage would establish
dangerous precedent
Mr.. Suloway, of New York, in charge of
one OF the bills, asserted that the precedent
was pretty we'll established. The bill to
pension Rachel Patton was passed, ''the
objections OF the President notwithstand-

to pension Caroline Mowatt by the vote OF

A DYNAMITER AT WORK
A DiabOlical Attempt to Blow Up a
Railroad Train.
Fortunately the Bombs Were Poorly
Constructed and Did Not Do
the Work Intended.

Kingston, Jamaica, Feb. 3.-The preSi-
ling the Jamaica Railway arrived here on
Thursday evening from New York. Whether
this had anything to do with what hap
pened on Saturday is not known. 1t is,
however fact that on Friday afternoon
several local newspapers received an an
nouucemcnt, written in led ink and appar-
emily with some blunt instrument, as
Whitfield stick, that it was the writer's
intention to destroy the railway. This was
regarded as a joke and passed unnoticed.
But on Saturday morning such an attempt
was actually made. As the passenger train
from Kingston arrived at a point a couple
Of miles from the station IL came to a sud
den halt and a slight jar was felt.
An inspector of police and u railway
engineer went out on a trolley to in
vestigate, and to their surprise found what
III part they expected that they would
fiuG-the remnants OF an Internal machine
But they also found something else-a
similar machine intact. The appear
anceS indicated that two explosive bombs,
dabolically conceived, but very poorly
cOntriyed. had been placed on the track
for the morning passenger car one had
exploded, but with little or no result,
while the other lad been hurled off the
track by the force of the explosion, and its
fuse extnguished They were not con-
trived to go off on contact, but had been
lghtedand placed on the track as the train
was approaching. one acted up to time,
and the other, possibly igniting a moment
after its mate, was blown away.
What was found of the exploded bomb
consisted OF three burst and rent milk tins,
hearing the traces OF gunpowder. The
intact one was package containing SINH
lar tins filled with giant powder and iron
filings, TO which was attached a connect
ing fuse a couple OF feet long, the end of
which had been ignited. The whole W as
well packed sin box OF earth, the size
OF large cigar box.

NO ACTION This CONGRESS
The South Washington Bridge Bill
Cannot Pass.
a Strenuous Attempt to Be Made to
Secure It's Passage Dur.
ing the Next Session.

Owing to small attendance, the special
Association, called for yesterday afternoon
by Secretary James W. Mckee to discuss
proposed action by the association in ref
erence to the measure pending before Con
gress providing for a bridge to span the
Eastern Branch from the foot of First
street southeast, was postponed, subject to
call by the president, Mr.. Henry II. Haley.
The slim attendance was due TO a gen
eral inclination among the members to drop
venes, as prominent members of both House
ana Senate have assured the associations
various committees that any action during
the present session is improbable, if not
impossible
The bill provides for large and sub
stantial structure, allowing ample room for
roadway, railways and sidewalks Ac
cording 10 the estimates OF Major Charles
f. l. b. Davis, OF the Engineer Corps, u
S a, the structure and its approaches
when completed viii cost S779,13O
The amount necessary to erect the struc
ture has been the basis of Congressional
opposition, and tie bill has never been
further than Che District Committee room
After consultation with numerous bridge
builders, however, the association is con
vihced that the MAJORS estimate is too
great by half, and through their attorneys
Simon Wolf and F Suowden Hill, will
present to Congress a new appropriation
bill, based on the result OF their investiga-
tons.
AD eight page memorial has been pre-
pared, Which gives in brief the previous
sanction OF Congress TO the scheme, in that
So 800 was appropriated to effect sur
yey OF the site Of the proposed bridge, to-
getier with the favorable reports OF the
House and Senate committees, tile Commis-
sionrrs of the District, the Secretary Of
War and tie Secretary OF the Navy. The
bridge, it is Claimed by the association,
will prove Of vast advantage TO neglected
South Washington, as well as 10 the resi-
dents of tie District across the branch, and
will give access to a beautiful river-bauk
drive to Fort Washington, reducing the
present distance by road Of sixteen miles
to slightly more than five.
The members of the association, in
joint action with the members of the
South Washington Citizens Association,
VIII push the measure vigorously during

for successful result
