BOMB THR0WER
WRECKS PHILADELPHIA BANK
AND KILLS CASHIER.
ASSASSIN BLOWN TO PIECES
Fourth National Bank Scene Of The
DIsaster.-President Rushton Mar
rowIy Escapes Death.-PrIvate
Messenger Badly MangIed.


Philadelphia.-Two men are dead, a
score OF others injured, two of whom
may die, and the beautiful interior of
a bank building ruined as the result of
bomb being dropped into Fourth
Street National bank here Saturday
by a man who had demanded loan of
| $4,000 for which he could show no col
lateral. The perpetrator of the out
and recently of Chicago. He was
blown to pieces by his own engine of
death. Nothing was left to identify
him save bunch of ten keys found in
a fragment of clothing belonging to
him. A plate on the ring holding the
keys bore the name of 'R. Steele, Gar
ner. Iowa"
The ether man killed by the explo-
sion was W. u. McLear, cashier OF the
bank, who had been talking to the
stranger and had refused his request
William Crump, colored, private mes
senger to the president of the bank,
was mGngled, and may die.
The man who dropped the bomb
called on Richard r. Rushton, presi.
dent OF the bank, also president OF the
Philadelphia Clearing House Associa
ton, shortly before noon, and asked
for a loan Of $4,000.
The president quickly sized him mp
as eccentric, and turned him over to
the cashier, with the idea that the
latter would have him taken from the
buil1ing. Before leaving, the man

woman and a child, with the remark,
"Ain't they all right?"
A few moments later there was o
terrific explosion, which shook the big
building and completely wrecked the
interior of the bank.
Cashier McLear was in his office
when the man threw the bomb, and
was instantly killed. With the excep
tion of his right arm and shoulder, Mr..
McLear was not mangled.
The most seriously injured is VIII
liam Crump, the colored messenger,
who made heroic attempt to seize
the object which the man was about
to drop, but was an instant too late
The messenger, II he survives his ter
rible injuries. probably will be blind.
The explosion devastated the In
terror OF the big banking room. Glass
anu WOOueu pdTllllOnS were WIcChtN
and leveled to the ground as though
cyclone had swept through the place
Desks were ruined and iron bars were
twisted; In fact, there was. hardly an
object left intact in the room.
The explosion blew every one in the
banking room to the floor, and for 9
| moment they were dazed. Many OF
them, not knowing what had happened
and fearing that the building, which is
an eight-story structure, was falling
made n rush for the door. Mr.. Rush
ton among them. The roar of the ex
| plosion brought the tenants on all
floors to their feet and general rush
was made to the elevators and stair
ways. AS the excited people came
out there was rush from the street tc
rescue those who, it was thought, had
been caught in the explosion.
1t was announced that the bank
would resume business Monday. Ther.
is a good chance that all those hurt by
the explosion will recover.

Memorial Building at Arlington.

One of the kindly suggestions In
President Roosevelt's annual message
Is that there be constructed at Airing.
ton memorial amphitheater, an esti-
mate for the preliminary work on
which is contained In the report OF
the secretary of war. The Grand
Army of the Republic In its annual
national encampment has recommend
ed such a structure as necessary for
the appropriate observance of Me-
mortal Day and as fitting monument
to the soldier and sailor dead buried
in the beautiful cemetery. and the
president heartily concurs in the prop
osition. The old soldiers are getting
fewer and feebler, and when they take
part in the Memorial Day exercises,
says the Troy Times, 1t is right that
they should be made as comfortable
as possible. That is part Of the idea
of erecting such an amphitheater. The
structure would be still more i'm
lington. And 1t would most aptly
symbolic the reunited nation. Ar
lington itself was formerly the home
of Gen. Robert e. Lee. the knightly
confederate commander, and in its
soil rest not only thousands of union
dead but many who wore the gray and
who afterward served their country
when the call came and was respond
ed to without regard to section or po
litical differences. The Arlington me
mortal should be erected as soon as
possible.

How deep in the bowels of the earth


How deep in the bowels of the earth
must one go to avoid trespassing upor
another's property? That is ques-
tton which an energetic Jerseyman
proposes to solve. This gentleman
owns land near the terminus of one
of the tunnels being constructed under
the Hudson river, and despite the dis
claimer of the tunnel company sus-
poets that the bore penetrates his
ground. To settle the matter he in
tends to sink artesian wells on his
premises. He may strike water or he
rnay strike the tunnel. In the latter
case he thinks he will have a case
against the tunnel company. And the
latter is of the opinion that there are
other bores than those connecting
New York and New Jersey.

1t is just 40 years since Prince
Charles of Hohenzollern accepted the
crown of Roumanla, which was con
verted into a kingly one after the
principality achieved its independence;
and the exhibition at Bucharest,
which the king opened in the summer,
was intended to show the immense in
dustrial strides made by the country
under its Hohenzollern ruler. His
heir is his nephew. Prince Ferdinand,
who married Marie, eldest daughter of
the English duke of Edinburgh.

CHECK ON cAB-DRIvERs.

Overcharging by drivers Of public
hacks and cabs, will be soon a thing Of
the past in London. Paris, Berlin and
New York. says Technical World Maga-
zine for October. This is being brought
about BY the introduction Of an instru-
ment called the taximeter. Whan at
tached to vehicle whether motor pro.
PEELED or drawn by horses, It automati,
cally registers the fare to be paid. I'm
like a street-car fare register, the taxi
meter is not operated BY the driver, but
Is mechanical computing device. y is
locked against amy tampering by the
driver, SO that the passenger has the
advantage Of knowing that he is not be-
ing cheated to line the pocket Of the
jehu
The taximeter is complicated piece
Of mechanism. II Is operated both by
clockwork and by flexible shaft driven
like an automobile speed indicator Or
dashboard oiOmeter, from one of the
road wheels Of the vehicle. Since public
cab fares are paid on the basis Of time
consumed and distance travelled, it is
necessary to compute both. When the
cab Is standing as when used for max
ing calls or shopping. the taximeter IS
operated BY the clockwork, but when the
cab is under way the flexible shaft drive
overruns the clockwork and turns the
circular iials that do the registering.
The dials are rotated by train Of
small spur gears as in a cyclometer or
mechanical counter.

HOME RECIPE
Says lAny One Can Prepare it,
and Nothing Better.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to
cure. states a well-knowI authority.
Every man, woman and child here
should dress as warmly as possible, anu,
above all else, keep the feet dry. Avoid
colds and exposure, and don't become
constipated.
Rheumatism is strictly blood dis
ease caused By inactive kindeys, which,
through cold or exposure or improper
diet, fail in their duty of tiltering the
rheumatic poisons from the blood. This
poisonous waste matter, uric acid,
oxilate Of lime. urea, etc, if not strained
from the blood promptly, decomposes
and settles about the joints and muscles,
causing rheumatic disease.
In damp or chilly cold weather the
kidneys are made to do double work.
The pores Of the skin all over the body
do not assist in eliminating the poisons
Of the body. throwing this work to
the kidneys, which become clogged and
feeble, thus causing not only rheuma-
tism, but all forms Of kidney troubles,
backache, weak bladder and urinary
troubles, and sometimes terrible blood
disorders
AT the first sign OF any of these
troubles the following simple prescrip-
tion should be mixed and taken in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.
half ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces.
Any good pharmacy can supply these
ingredients, and all the mixing required
is to, shake well in bottle.

Colombia's Great Commerce River

The port of Barranquilla, Colombia, has population of 50.000 is r miles up the Magdalena river from the At
 lantic coast, and owes its importance especially to being the terminus of navigation of the Magdalena, the great commercial artery of Colombia, a river which is navigable for over 600 miles, and carrying on it's waters the bulk of the ,rade of the country. Five river companies have headquar- ters in Barranquilla, and they operate 36 steamboats and 43 barges, with a total tonnage of 10,6S9 tons. Steam boats leave port for the interior prac- tically every day. The trip to Bogota. the capital, takes between 10 and 20 days, according to the condition of the river and weather.

How New Words Ordinate.

In the latest volumes of the New England dictionary" Dr. Murray and Mir. Henry Bradley give some very interesting examples of how words have come into the language. It is curious to see how new discovery extends our vocabulary. For in- stance, the discovery of photography has led to 234 words being added to the language. Dr. Murray fixes March IA, 1889, as the birthday of the word photography" It was on that day that Sir John Herschel used it in a paper which he read before the Royal society. The new word took root in France, and two or three months later, when Argo made his report to the chamber of deputies concerning the pension of M. Daguerre he quoted photographic as generally ac. cepted word.

Petitions to an Emperor.

One of the most interesting features of the emperor's visit was the number of petitions which were, so to speak. thrown at him during his fortnight's stay Scarcely once did his majesty drive out from the Hradschin without somebody attempting to present an appeal. Usually the petitioner was a small child and occasionally a woman Most of the requests were for pe- cuniary assistance. The emperor was always extremely courteous, and when, as frequently happened. the let ter missed the carriage and fell into the road he invariably ordered tho coachman to stop while the document was brought to him. The household chancery is now dealing with some thing more than a hundred petitions thus unceremoniously presented All of them are carefully investigated, and whenever it is possible something is done for the applicant-Prague core spondence Pail Mall Gazette

4 Rude Republican.

western congressman who goes abroad each year tells of the militant republicanism of an American he met Tn Brussels last summer. This man. 1t appears, was merchant in a small town of Indiana. One morning they were out for ride. and as they passed through the gates of public park their equipage passed that of King Leopold, which was leaving the park. Following the custom. the congress man. as did every one else near by, except the merchant from Indiana, lifted his hat, whereupon the demo cratic Leopold also lifted his hat and bowed and smiled. The merchant sat bolt upright looking straight ahead Know who that is?" asked the con gressman of the merchant Yes; I recognized him from his pictures. It's King Leopold" Then why didn't you bow to him as I did?" The mer- chant from Indiana stiffsne6 in his seat and squared his shoulders 'I don't bow to no kings" he said.-- Philadelphia Record.
