The two men were deadly pale now
and their eyes glittered with excite

have feared. Each was too much en-
gagged in the effort to maintain calm
ness to have thought of harming
the other.

And Mr. Carter was right. The
claimant went to nearly every lawyer
in Grovedale and the adjoining town
of Lincoln shire, but not one would
incline his ear favorably to the suit.
1t was plain to be seen that they saw
neither profit nor favor in 1t. and
more than one advised him to drop
the matter at once.

Constance sat long time in deep

piairness and went out on to the
street, walking in the direction of Il. e

which the bomb was thrown.
The explosion occurred just as the
royal couple were about to enter the
palace. The route of the cortege had
been diverted from Arsenal street to
Mayor street, owing to the popular
desire. The procession had just passed
through Mayor street, and was about
to turn into the esplanade leading to
the palace, when an explosion shook
the buildings in the vicinity, stunning
a number of people and throwing the
cortege into inextricable confusion.
The screams of the terrified multi
tude mingled with the groans of the
dying. 1t was seen that the royal coach
was intact, except that 1t had been
damaged by flying splinters. King AL
fonso Immediately alighted and as
sisted Queen Victoria out of the car

coach and were driven swiftly to the
palace.

NONUNION SAILOR
SERIOUSLY BEATEN

Three men are being held at the
police station on suspicion of having
been concerned in a brutal attack on
Paul Charder, a sailor on wednesday
evening. The names of the men held
are X. Martin, o. Peterson and Nelse
Eskeldsen. All are sailors and are
said to have belonged to the ship
Kenilworth.
Charder is a nonunion man and
the trouble is supposed to have been
caused on that account. There has
of late been more than one fistic diff
ference among union and nonunion
sailors along the local front.
About 1880 on the evening mention
ed Charder and a companion, both
from the bark Klikitat, entered a
and called for a drink. After the
glasses had been emptied the two men
proceeded up the street in the direc-
ton of King street.
They had not got far before they
were overtaken by several other men
who set up on them and commenced
to beat them with their fists. Charder
was struck on the head by a rock
or some other hard substance. re-
ceiving a wound that necessitated his
being sent to Queens Hospital The
other man escaped serious injury by
running away.
Cries for help were heard in the
