THE LEADvuhE DYNAMITER.
Efforts of the Police to Find the Mis-.
creapt FruItIess.

LEADVILLE. Col. Jan. 26.-Within a
week four buildings have been partially
DESTROYED by dynamite and the police have
not found the slightest clew to the perpe-
traitor. There is great excitement in the
city. At nearly every house some one acts
as a watchman during the night to protect
those who are sleeping.
Last Sunday night the work began by the
throwing of a stick of giant powder into
the old Carbonate Theatre, which was un-
occupied. The following night a similar
stick was thrown against rear window of
the country Jail. shattering the windows
in the building and others in the vicinity
and caused great alarm in the neighbOr
hood
Shortly after 10 o'clock Wednesday night
a terrific explosion startled the business
portion of the town. 1t was found that
heavy charge of dynamite had been explod
ed at the corner of the residence of A. V.
Hunter. a banker. Several persons about TO
leave the Hunter house had narrow es
capes Had they passed outside the door
they would doubtless have been fatally in
iured. As it was two houses were wrecked
and the loss was heavy.
Yesterday another explosion occurred in
the rear of the Western Opera House, but
all the dynamite sticks did not explode, and
the damage was limited to broken windows
in the vicinity.
At the time of some of the explosions
men have been held up and robbed N other
parts of the town, and it has been suggest
ed that the explosions are merely ruse
used by robbers to attract the police away
from the scene of their operations 1t IS
more likely that the destruction OF proper
ty is the work of crank or a madman.

THE MURDER OF EYRE.
No Motive for the Crime Discovered
by the Police.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26.-The houses
in which the Pierce brothers, charged with
the murder of George B. Eyre, live, have
been searched and the detectives found
several bundles, but what these contained
is matter of conjecture, the suppostion be-
ing that parts of the guns belonging to
Eyre were found. Annie Pierce, sister of
the men under arrest, says that the ring
which James wore was given to him by her
as Christmas present. She was unable
to account for its disappearance and could
not say where she purchased it.
There is as yet no suggestion of motive
for the killing of Eyre by the Pierce BROTH
ers It is said that Amos made a state
ment to Chief Berry in which he claimed
that the shooting was accidentally done by
James and that in fear they then put the
weight to the body and sunk ii. Chiet
Berry denies that any statement whatever
has been made to him.

VISIONS OF THE DYING.


GIimpses of the Beyond.
| NEW YORK, Jan 26.-Friends who at
/ tended two women in Newark. n. j., one
of whom is now dead. while the other is on
her deathbed, are convinced that they saw
through the veil that divides this world
from the next.
Newark is stirred by reports Of these WIS.,
ions from beyond, and can give no better
explanation of them than that offered by
the attendant women who heard the pa
tients describe what they saw and who now
say that approaching death sometimes al
lows person who is i'll to see beyond the
pale
The first case is that of Miss Matte Oak
ley eighteen years old. who lived with her
aunt. Mrs. NJ. E. Van Ness. Of No. 30 Eliza
beth Avenue. The girl was a pupil in the
Miller Street High School. She was to
have been graduated next Thursday. She
was an orphan. Her parents died several
years ago.
She fell i'll three weeks ago. DR. B. II. B.
Sleight of Lincoln Park. attended her.
Her aunt Mrs. Van Ness tells the story
convincingIy. for she is herself convinced.
She was sitting with the girl last Monday
afternoon. she says They prayed together.
She feared that her niece might die at any
moment.
For long time the girl lay still. her
eyes fixed upon the ceiling as if she looked
through and beyond It, Then she turned
to Mrs. Van Ness and said she had just
seen a beautiful vision.
Il stood in heaven" she said.
Her voice was calm She seemed to be
of normal mind.
What have you seem" Mrs Van Ness
asked
My father and mother" the girl replied
They spoke to me Mother told me to be
a good girl. Father said Come to me. &"
Mrs. Van Ness and the girl sang hymn
together. A little later the girl died. Mrs.
Van Ness is confident that her niece was
rational and that she saw that Of which she
spoke.
The other case is that of Mrs. GeOrgo ".
Beatty. of No 81 Sussex Avenue She is
siNty-two years old. She was attacked by
paraIysfs about-four months ago. Just be
fore the first stroke, she says, the mother OF
former MAJOR Daniel W. Beatty. of Wash
ington. y. j.. her stepson, appeared beside
her bed "robed in pure gold
little later she saw Mrs. John walters.
former friend. who has been dead for half
a century Last ouhud! hISH' Ih' 0Fi'' N
her late husband appeared walking beside
a beautiful river.
She called aloud TO him. and then she re-
allied that she was in her room. but the
spirit was beside her. 1t fingered for
moment. she said. and then passed through
the door. although the door was closed.
At this time IL is said, the clock in for
mer Mayor Beattys house. in Washington.
stopped. The hour Of her vision, her
friends say. was identical with that al
which the clock stopped.
Neither of the women mentioned has
been regarded as superstitious. Mrs Beat
ty has been during almost all of her life
a member of the Methodist Church. Ply
sicians say she cannot live more than three
weeks Neighbors and friends believe there
has come to her a provision of approach
ing death.

sensational scene at a funeral here by a
determined effort to raise the dead. A
citizen of Potterville. Augustus Chubbuck,
had died, and just at the close of the flu
neral services Adventist Leader Lane
drove up to the place, entered the house,
and without ceremony stalked toward the
open coffin. Stretching forth his hands
amid impressive silence, in loud voice
he commanded:
Young man, 1 say unto thee. arise and
walk"
The undertaken demonstrated with Lane.
but he continued to exhort the dead 1t
was necessary to call help to eject him
from the building
Lane said afterward that he hitched up
his horse and drove to the scene, not
knowing where he was going. He did not
know the man was dead or that there was
going to be funeral, and was led there
by an invisible power.

TIE METHODIST CHURCH
On Main Street Struck by Lightning
 Sunday-small Panic.

A heavy refreshing rain fell in this section Sunday morning. IL continued for almost two hours aud flooded tie streets all over the city. While It fell it came down in tor rents and was accompanied by a beautiful electrical display.
 A sudden bolt ot Iigb tnlng struck the large steepie over the Main street Methodist church and ripped long hole in 1t. A considerable amount of slate, which covers the steeple was shattered and bled in a broken mass to the street be- low. Services were being conduct ed in the church at the time and the large- congregation was almost thrown into panic. As soon as the accident was realized, each per son ran for the front door aud for a time it looked as if somebody would be injured. Rev. Anderson called from his pulpit to the worshippers to be calm ard finally order was restored and the services continued Several horses tied in front of the building broke from their fastenlngs but were checked from running away. Immediately after the light hing struck the building, smoke was seen issuing from the openings made in the steepIe by the lightn ing. An investigation proved that there was no fire in that part of the structure. The damage to the church will amount to about $50.

HE WAS BRICK -BATTED.
Rev E A. Tabar, the Anti,saloon
 Leader Assaulted at Warren.

There are other places possessed of hoodlum element as well as Pine Bluff. The ungentlmanly reception given Col. A. ". Files, the populist candidate for governor, at this place few nights ago, was the subject for much unfavorable comment all oyer the state.
 A few nights ago Rev. E. A. Tabor, who enjoys very large ac- quaintance in this city and over the state, was brick-batted at Warren. Not only small pieces of brick were thrown. Whole and half bricks were hurled yieiously at bim but fortunately he escaped unhurt. He had just concluded his talk in the interest of the Anti Saloon League, and was en route to his hotel when he was attacked by a gang of hood lems and assaulted. It IS indeed a shame to the state to allow low bred class to disgrace it in such a manner.

 am the mother of eight children and have had a great deal of experi- ence with medicines. Last summer my little daughter had the dysentery. in it's worst form. We thought she would die. I tried everything l could think Of, but nothing seemed to do her any good. I saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlain's Colic, Caolera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly rec commended and sent and got bottle at once. It proved to be one of the very best medicines we ever had in the house. 1t saved my little daugh- ter's life. 1 am anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it IS.
