and work was stopped on 200 buildings
in the course of erection in Chicago

DYNAMITE is AGAIN USED
Renewal of Violence In the Cleveland
Street Car Strike.


Cleveland, Ohio, July 31.--A car re-
turning from Euclid Beach park was
blown up by dynamite while returning
to the city about IL o'clock Friday
night. The explosion took place a
short distance north of the Lake Shore
railroad, about two miles east of the
city limits. The front truck was de-
nolished and the floor of the car shat
tered. There were no passengers on
board aud the motorman and conduc-
tor escaped without injury.
This event is likely to delay the de-
parture of the troops, which Adjt.-
Gen. Axline had said would begin next
Monday. Mayor Farley, though. holds
that the troops are here under his au-
thority and that they will remain here
until he feels that they can be dis
pensed with. He declares that he is to
be the judge as to when the troops
are not wanted. There have been
several controversies between him and
Adjt.-Gen. Axline over this question,
but the mayor refuses to discuss the
difficulty for publication.

Fatal ONLY to Her Brother

Carmi, ILL.,, July 31.-,Young and
hayward Mrs. Ivy Crabtree will have
the taking of only one life to answer
for. Her father and stepmother and
their aged friend, George Carter, who
partook of the poison she placed in
their food, are now out of danger and
are slowly but steadily returning to
health. The only motive Mrs. Crab
tree can give for her crime is that she
wished to free to do as she pleased
without hindrance. She seems utterly

to the want of jurisdiction on the part
of the federal authorities as a means
o. escape from responsibility.
