TO DESTROY THE DOCKS.
Second Attempt Was Made, But the
DYNAMITE Failed TO Explode.

st. Marys, Ohio, May Ga second
attempt within a year was made to-
day to destroy the docks of the Grand
reservoir. Two charges of dynamite
were placed, but one failed to ex-
plode. 1t was evidently the intention
of the unknown miscreants to blow
up the upper and lower gates and al
low the sea of water to escape into
the low lands and imperil the lives
of many farmers. The charge under
the upper gates failed to explode and
a terrible disaster was thus averted.
The explosion of the charge under
the lower gate tore the gates from
their fastenings and threw them
clear out of the lock. The heavy stone
masonry was badly wrecked and dead
fish are scattered over the ground
200 feet from the lock. Thomas Car
per, an old fisherman, was slightly
injured by flying splinters.

ANTI.GRAFT BILL A LAW.
The State of Wisconsin Passes ;
Strinuent Measure.

Madison, Wis, May 6.-The Stout
anti-graft bill is now law, the gov
ernor having affixed his signature to
it today. 1t is one of the most far
reaching measures against corrup-
ton ever passed.
1t is not aimed at corruption in poll
tics, but at graft in business, and pro-
vides that whoever corruptly gives
or offers any agent, servant or en-
ploye any gift or gratuity whatever
with intention to influence his actions
in relation to his employers business,
or any employe who requests or ac-
cepts such a gift shall be liable to a
fine of from $40 to $500 or by such
fine and Imprisonment for one year.
1t is claimed that this law if en-
forced will put stop to the giving
of tips to porters, boot blacks or wait
