IMOIcT ATHENA MAN
CHARGE IS ARSON
Moses Taylor Alleged to Have Plotted
to Burn the Barn Of John
eannister.

PENDLETON, June "a mild SEN
sation was created last evening when
the grand jury returned an Indictment
against Moses Taylor of Athena. for
attempted arson. It is said that dur
ing July last year Taylor laid a plot
to burn the barn of John Bannister,
and that he secured two men, Richard
McGrath and Monroe Palmer, to do the
work.
However, it is said that one Of the
men let the secret out, and that as q
result the actions of the men were
watched, and the plan did not work.
It is said that torch made out Of an
old pair of overalls was to be used In
setting the barn afire. There has been
a grudge existing between Taylor and
Bannister since the latter gave testi-
mony against Taylor in his divorce
trial, and that revenge was the motive
for the attempted arson.

Rival for Japan's "Shimose."

CLEVELAND, June "a powder
which may be made in a coffee mill
was exhibited to number of powder
experts today by F. H. Briggs, of this
city. The powder showed a third
greater penetrating force than the fa-
nous "Shimose" powder Of the Japa-
nese, which is accounted the most
powerful explosive known. The pow
der cannot be exploded by concussion,
fire always being necessary. Instead
of costing 16 cents a pound for max
ing, it only costs cents, and as no ex-
pensive mill requiring heat is neces-
sary, it may be made on the field of
battle. The inventor declares it may
be used not only for firearms, but for
blasting purposes as well,

KITTEN IN MAIL SACK
Mail Carrier, F-'-A h~ v.nfriIoouist,
Has Bad Wash State ssbr.ry

1E sUEUR, MIMI, June ..-.v...
Green, a colored boy who carries mail
from the postoffice to the station, had
a bad quarter of an hour this morning
just before the arrival of the train, for
ventriloquist, who was in the sta
ton, made the boy believe there was a
kitten in the mail sack.
The pitiful mewing that the boy
thought he heard coming from the sack
stirred his heart deeply, and he loudly
protested against such an inhuman act
as to shut up kitten. He called up
the postoffice over the telephone to
make complaint, but the clerk could
not nelp him, and when he gave the
mail to the agent on the train he in
formed him there was a kitten in the
sack and that to hurry up and open it.

CHANDLER TRAPS CULLoM.
Works Senator to Say the Senate's
"Boss" Fixed Rate Matters

WASHINGTON, June 9.-William
E. Chandler, former United States
senator from New Hampshire, who
recently wrote to each of the men
mentioned in connection with the next
presidential nomination, telling him he
is for MIN, is now telling his friends
how he trapped Senator Cullom of the
senate committee on interstate and
foreign commerce, into an important
admission the other day. The ex-
senator was with the president when
Elkins, Cullom and one or two other
senator's called. Railroad rate legisla-
ton was the topic. Chandler pretended
to be greatly surprised that Senator
Aldrich, the "boss of the senate" lost
himself in Europe while such an i'm
portant question was under considera-
ton by a committee of which he was
a member.
"Aldrich desterted his post" said he,
there must be something wrong with
him.
He defends Aldrich.
Cullom felt called on to defend his
associate in the committee, and IN
combative voice, he said:
Chandler, you are wrong. Aldrich
did not run away leaving things In the
air. I know all about it. He would
not leave until he had the promise OF
a majority of the committee tnat moth
ing should be done with rate legislation
during his absence"
"Of course, you speak from personal
knowledge" said Chandler.
The story was so good that Cnand-
ler had to go out and tell it, and as he
holds a position on the Spanish claims
commission, he will probably have to
explain to the boss of the senate"
when Aldrich returns from abroad.
