Washington, June 6.-The house en-
tered the throes Of dissolution, and all
day and all the evening the galleries
were crowded with spectators. Pictur-
esque incidents were few. Partisan
passion in the face of the impending
presidential campaign broke out sew
eral times during the afternoon and
not words were banded across the
political aisle. During the interims
between the consideration OF the con-
ference reports members clamored like
mad men in wheat pit on a panic
day for recognition of jrivate bills
upon which their political
salvation might depend At the night
session the galleries were thronged
with gaily arrayed women, while the
floor was a veritable bedlam. Hour
after hour the conferees struggled on
with their reports, the speaker firm and
resolute, steering the house through a
turmoil of confusion. Toward mid
night the galleries were thinned out
but the tired legislators, with the pros
pect of an all night session ahead. re-
manned in their places, getting what
comfort they could from the knowledge
that today the end would come.

ference report and odds and ends OF
business preparatory to final adjourn
ment. A night session was held.

POINT, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY DEC

Go to the Chicago Fair store for
Uuderware, mittens aud gloves.
Friday last horse buying was
conducted rather lively in this city.
Harry Light, the genial buyer who
makes al towns in this section about
once every three months, and Ralph
Daugherty, "a local buyer of Darling
ton, were both here eager to pick up
the high stepping roadsters and good
drafts brought out for their inspec-
ton. IN consequence several owners
of fine animals were made happy by
receiving liberal prices.
Mont Spensley was recently
offered position to go to the Phil
lipines in the interests of the Deluth
d Superior mining company, to
leave San Franciso, Jan. 3D.. Mont
prospected for the same company in
the Columbia Republic previous to
his going to the PHILIPPINES as one
Uncle Sans volunteers. He regrets
that he was compelled to refuse the
offer, but believes that there is lots
of gold in the islands, having
brought back with him some rich
quartz and dust.
--Boscobel has new paper, named
The Sentinel by that popular,

The first number proves that he has
lost nothing of his capabilities and
it needs no prophet to foretell that
The Sentinel will be strong fla
vorite with the people of Boscobel
and vicinity. "Goldy" will allow
us as an old friend to submit one
criticism. The style of letters in the
heading of "The Sentinel" does not
suit our taste. Some palmer letter
would be an Improvement. We
shall look for it weekly, anticipating
pleasure and profit from perusing
its columns.
Christmas Eve has always been
noted in Mineral Point for Sabbath
Festivities, and this year is no eXcep-
ton. All the churches are up with
the times in making the Christmas
season interesting to the children.
At the p. NJ. church there was 4 real
treat for all of the large company as
sembled, both old and young. The
entertainment program was an eX-
cellent one, aud well executed in all
parts; great credit to the school
and teachers. What is said of the
entertainment in one church applies
well to each of the others. At the
Grace Episcopal and at the M. r.. the
exercises were of unusual merit, and
well calculated to impress the i'm
portance to the world of that birth
in the manger ut Bethlehem nineteen
hundred wears ago.

A large barn had been fitted up with
seats, and was filled to Overlooking

DYNAMITE BOMB FOUND.
Effort Made to Blow up the Building
on Providence Road Occupied by
John Hawks.

An attempt was made some time Fri
day night to blow up the residence of
John Hawks, on Providence road, be-
tween Court and Philo streets. One
of the young lady members of the
family on Saturday morning found a
nitro -glycerine cartridge about ten in
ches long on the roof of the porch,
which is used as a balcony.
The cartridge had a fuse attached
and this fuse was burned to within a
quarter of an inch of the cartridge it,
self. Had it exploded 1t is terrible to
think of the consequences which might
have resulted. 1t is believed that the
intention was to throw it into the
building through one of the windows.
Foremen Anderson and Kopp, of the
Grard Construction company, which
is paving North Main avenue, board
with the Hawks and the theory ad-
vanced by many is that the bomb was
intended for them and was thrown by
some of the recently discharged en-
ployes, who have been especially surly
and threatening since their discharge.

The Drawing of Jurors.

Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. The sharp arraignment by Judge Savage
Of one Of the iurics drawn before him last week,
as reported in the daily papers, should make
the ears Of every sclfrespectinp citizen of this
county tinglc. In effect Judge Savage charged
the jury with having violated their oaths and
rendering a false verdict. That a comparative
stranger who would naturally shrink from
making such a charge was moved by his Just
Indignation to do so, speaks volumes as to the
character Of men who are selected for jurors in
this county.
recent years condemned in a similar and even
more emphatic manner, the unwarrantcd verdicts
OF juries. Every honest and selfrespectilg
member OF the bar will confirm the Judgment
Of the courts, thus expressed, that TO a large ex
tent the character Of the names selected for
jury duty is not such as to inspire any conf
dence on the paft Of persons practcing in the
cordance with the law and evidence. The re-
sponsibilty for this condition OF affairs rests
primarily with the people, who have heretofore
been too Indifferent as to the character of jury
commissioners selected.
0nc.thrd Of the names placed in the jury
wheel each year are chosen by one Of the men,
bers of the court, and the rames so chosen have
always constituted a redccming ltaven in the
makeup of the Jurcs, but they utterly over
whelmed by the other twothirds which are Sc
lectcd by irresponsible, and to no stronger
expression, unreliable jury commissioners This
arragnmont of our jury panel by a capable non
resident jurst like Judge Savage, comes at a
peculiarly fitting time, when the voters Of the
county are upon the point of selecting new jury
commission ers TO serve them for term Of three
years. The voters OF the county have now
an opportunity to root out this abuse, and the
Republican voters are especially fortunate In
having for a candidate Z. B. Sturges, esq. whose
name is a synoym for uprightness, honor and
fair dealing; who is a candidate for the office,
not for what is in it, either legally or illegally,
but solely in the interests of the honest admin
iStration of Justice; who has pledged himself,
if elected, to make selection Of jurors not from
any particular class, creed or nationality, but
with a sole view to the selection Of men whO
will regard the sanctity of their oath when called
upon to pass upon the question involving the
dearest property and personal rights of the cti-
zens and whose position as a candidate has
been approved by the practically unanimous
voice OF the press of the city and county.
Very. truly yours.
James II. Torcy.

CHILD TERRIBLY BURNED.
Distressing Accident to Rose Locher,
A Year Old Daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Locher.

Little four-year-old Rose Locher, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Locher, of 119 Penn avenue, while play
ing with several little companions yes
terday morning, tried to build a fire, as
a result of which her clothing caught
fire, and she was taken to the Lacka-
wanna hospital, suffering from terrible
burns all over her body and face. The
flesh is burned to a crisp in several
parts of the child's body, and the hos
pital surgeons yesterday, when asked
whether or not the child could survive.
looked serious and said they anticipated
the worst.
Mrs. Locher yesterday morning about
11,20 o'clock was busying herself with
bathing and washing the children anI
after little Rose had been taken care
of, she left the house with her little
cousin, Charlie Rapp, who lives nearby.
Together they went into the lane, in
the rear of Penn avenue, between Vine
and Mulberry streets, with several
other little ones. While there they set
fire to a quantity of loose paper lying
around. and suddenly the dress of Rose,
which was Of thin material became
ignited. In moment the child was a
mass of flames. Her young compan-
ions tried to extingush the blaze, but
met with ill success, little Charlie Rapp
making heroic effort and having his
fingers severely burned as a result.
The cries of the children brought 20
the scene Roses aunt Mrs. Rapp, who
lives nearby. She picked up a large
piece of carpet and throwing it around
the child eXtinguished the blaze. The
little one was terribly burned, how
ever, and was straightway taken to the
L.ackawanna hospital, where the smart
of the burns was softened and the child
made easier.
The whole affair did not take more
than five minutes, Mrs. Locher saying
that only that period elapsed between
the time Rose left the house and when
she was taken to the hospital.
Both the father and mother are al
most heart-broken by the sad accident,
and the mother remained at the hospi-
tai all yesterday, sadly watching by the
cot where her little girl lay.
