afteTward IL was learned that dyns-
mite had played another one Of its
tricks by exploding while being
cleyerIy treated to a thaw-out, at the

The scale house was blown 10
pieces and Mr.. Frank Suith was at

slightly burt. lie was krceked IN

soon recovered consciousness. 1,

Mr. Smith, and the house he was
in was entirely blown sway. Three

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
No Light on the Attempt to Kill "Corn
King Phillips's Partner.

CHICAGO, May 26.-Mystery, deep and
apparently unpenetrable. still surrounds
the attempted murder of Daniel Hill, the
Board of Trade operator and the partner
of George II. Phillips, the corn king" in
his home, 797 West Monroe street, last
Saturday night. Detectives have worked
on the case continually in an effort to
solve the mystery, but without avail. This
afternoon Inspector Shea stated that af-
fairs were shaping themselves in the in
vestigation, and he hoped to have the mys-
terry cleared up soon. Inspector Shea
would not offer an opinion in connection
with the theory of murder. Inspector Shea
said: There is no doubt that an attempt
mas been made to murder Mr.. Hill. Every
thing points clearly to this, but what the
motive was l cannot at this time say"
The inspector intimated that developments
of an important nature was expected, and
limited that the mystery would be cleared
up in a short time Mr.. Hill was reported
TO be resting easy, and his complete re-
covery is expected. However, ii will be
many weeks before the victim will be able
to leave his bed.

CLOSE OF THE ASSEMBLY
PREsBYTERIANs ADJOURN TO MEET
IN Los ANGELES NEXT YEAR.
Charge Made that Commissioners
LObbied for the California City in
the Interest of a Railway.

NEW YORK, May 26.-The Presbyterian
General Assembly at to-day's session
chose Los Angeles, Cal, as the place of
next meeting. 1t acted adversely
overture from the presbytery of Los An
geles requesting that minister's coming from
the Southern Presbyterian Church be hon
orably retired with the same privileges as
If they had served always with the church
under the General Assembly. The matter
came before the Assembly in a report from
the committee on ministerial relief, which
recommended adverse action.
The Rev. Benjamin l.. Agnew, of Phila-
delphia. corresponding secretary of the
board of ministerial relief. said the result
OF granting the demand of the Presbytery
of Los Angeles would be that many of the
retired ministers who had always been in
the Northern Presbyterian Church would
have their already scant allowances cut
down. When the civil war was closed"
he said. 81 would have been willing to
vote for the union of the two churches.
But 1 am utterly opposed to holding out
any money consideration to win them
over. When they will come over to us on
principle they will have the same privi-
leges as our members"
The Rev. James d. McIlvane, OF Balti-
more, said ii would be unfortunate if the
overture did not receive favorable action
There is no difference with US between
the church, North ,Or South" he said
When the question OF selecting a meeting
place was taken UP the Rev. II. G. Minton
former moderator, made a ten-minute adj
dress In favor OF Los Angeles, Cal. He said
Los Angeles had worked two years to get
the Assembly, and should have it next
year.
The Rev. Richard Holmes, of Pittsburg
pointed out that there was a great differ
ence between the mileage for Cleveland
and Los Angeles. If you want to burden
the membership for such big sum as this
difference would be let the money go to
home missions or TO pay off the debt on
the Presbyterian building. We have no
right 10 do thing to favor any big corpo-
ration railroad"
At the moment when the moderator called
for vote on the question a member of the
Assembly, who refused to give his name
but who is said TO be an elder from Cleve-
land. made the statement that a railroad
had conducted lobby in favor of Los An
geles among the commissioners. The mod
orator declared the Cleveland elder out of
order.
Elder Ernest r. Baker. from Oakland
Cal, said the man referred to as lobbyist
was member OF the Assembly who had a
perfect right to be on the fioOr of the AS
sembly.
The vote was PSI for Los Angeles and 149
for Cleveland
