Famous SRed Book Is Not Admitted

Quay gained partial advantage in

Biddle, for the present at least, to adj
nit as evidence against him the "red
book which has figured so prominent

contain the key to the case of the

Peoples bank, after the institution

knowledge, they are of course power

shudder; 81 would rather all was open

cit cannot be. Why, Leone, where
is your reason? If even your uncle
knew, he would interfere TO prevent
it. In his slow, stolid honest mind
he would think such a marriage quite
wrong, you may be sure; he would
talk about caste, and position, and all
kinds of nonsense. We must keep our
secret to ourselves, my darling, if we
wish to be married at all. Surely,
Leone, you love me enough to sacri-

An Impatient Lovers Plans.
There had been no mistake about
the wooing of Lord Chandos. He had
not thought of loving and riding
away; the proud, beautiful, gifted girl
whom he loved had been pursued with
the ardor and respect that he would
have shown to a princess.
There came another day, when some
thing had prevented him from seeing
her; and unable to control his impa-

and ask for another glass of his IA

TO TEAR UP TRACKS.
Strikers Are Held In Check by
the Police.

New York, July 19.-An attempt was
made to tear up the tracks of the Sec
ond avenue line at oath street only two
blocks from the depot OF the road, early
this morning by strikers but the police
arrived on the scene before any dam
age had been done.
Commissioner Delhanty of the state
board of mediation and arbitration said
the board was ready to meet and try
and adjust the difficulties between the
railroad men and their employees as
soon as both sides asked for their ser
vices.
President Vreeland of the Metropoli-
tan street railway said this morning:
There is no strike and I defy them
to tie our lines up. You can look on the
streets and see for yourself that all our
cars are running
Every line is in good shape except
the Second avenue line, where there
was some light disturbance this morn
ing. The Second avenue line is one
that was recently acquired by the com
pany and the men don't know that very
well. But even if that line was to be
tied up it would not make any great
difference for recently while the change
in motive power was being made the
line was tied up for nine months and no
one knew it as far as traffic was con-
cerned.

DYNAMITE USED.
Attempt to Blow Up Part of
the Brooklyn Gle"

New York, July 19.-Just before 2
o'clock this morning there were two
terrific explosions in South Brooklyn
at Fifth avenue and Thirty-fifth street.
1t was found that dynamite or some
other high explosive had been placed
against the base of pillars of the Fifth
avenue elevated road at that point.
The dynamite had been put beside
pillars on the opposite sides of the
street and the explosions We're almost
simultaneous. The force of the eX-
plosions was such that windows in
nearby houses were blown in.
On one side of the avenue at that
point is the pumping station of the wa
terworks and on the other Greenwood
cemetery. Underneath the roadbed is a
tunnel leading to the cemetery.
Word was Immediately sent from the
power house at Thirty-sixth street to
Brooklyn police headquarters. The re-
serves were called out and a few min
utes later a. hundred policemen were on
their way to the scene.
The spot where the explosion occurred
is a dark and lonesome one. Detectives
who arrived soon afterward saw no
traces of anyone.
It is thought from the force of the
explosions and the quantity of dynamite
used that electricity was employed in
making the discharge. The concrete
at the base of the west side pillar was
blown out but the foundation was not
disturbed and the pillar itself was I'M
injured.
The east side pillar did not fare SO
we'll The concrete was blown away
and the pillar itself, while not over
turned, was curled up at the bottom
like a sheet of paper.
Trains were held up. The last one
from the bridge left at 1870 a. m.
At the power house it was said that
the west side track was not affected
and it was hoped to repair the east side
track before daylight
AS soon as news of the explosion was
received East New York trains also
were discontinued as it was unknown
whether similar outrages would be at
temDted elsewhere
