Southwest, and situated at Main and
Radmondo streets. this city, was part
~ demolished by a charge Of dynamite
exploded against the side of the build
ing a 1.45 this morning. J. f. Asbury,
a Waterman, was slightly injured The
Office and upper floor of the building
We're completely wrecked. The plant
proper was uninjured. The company
has been involved many months in a
strike of union metal workers.
Who placed the supposed charge of
dynamite is unknown to the police. but
it is believed to have been the outcome
of general labor troubles, in which
the Llewellyn Company has been in
volved. About Is feet of the front of
the main building. three-story frame
structure, was shot to pieces.
The Llewellyn Iron Works has long
been active in the fight against union
labor in this city. and is one of the
companies involved in the metal work
ers' strike, which went into effect on
June l. Officials of the Llewellyn Co.
are of the opinion that the supposed
effort to destroy their plant is the out
growth of their differences with labor.
Apparently, the police have 10 def
mite clue. In view of the Los Angeles
Times outrage, in which 81 men We're
killed last October, and the exceeding
bitterness of the metal workers strike,
today's explosion created the greatest
interest. The grand jury is expected to
hand in its report on the Times at any

His re-election in 1899 and 1905 oc-
casioned no political commissions, but
during recent campaigns he was the
object of an attack by the Democrats
and since the election the agitation
against his reelection has been con-
tnued by GOv-elect Eugene n. Foss.
There was sufficient impetus in the
anti-Iodge campaign before election
to send eight senators and representa-
,iyes opposed to his election. to the
legislature The people sent 142 Repub-

General Inactivity Is the
Stock Market Feature,
Little Improvement in Lines
Where Dizziness Shows.
Retail Trade in MercantiIes About
the Only Active Lines.

New York, Dec 25.-The last week of
the year save one in the stock market
was conspicuous chiefly for it's general
inactivity and irregularity Of price
movements. Trading partook of the
usual ante-holiday air, which is to say
that it fell to insignificant proportions,
and was subjected more to the whims
or caprices of d coterie of room trad
ers. That faction seemed to hang from
one side of the market to the other for
no very obvious reason but towards
the end the heaviness for the list be-
spoke an increase of operations for the
decline. The broader movement in
bonds which began a week ago suffered
a slight check but large direct sales Of
this class of securities continue to be
made.
With few exceptions developments of
the past week We're hardly in the di-
rection of betterment. Conditions in the
steel and iron trade, so long unsatis-
factory have admittedly reached the
stage where definite action on the part
of buyer or seller is well nigh impera-
tive. During the week it was common
ly reported that the larger independ
ent steel manufacturers had made fur
Their price concessions, thereby set
ting at naught the reinsurance given
at recent conferences in this city and
Pittsburg. The United States Steel Co.
has ordered further curtailment OF OPP
erations in the Pittsburg district and
at one Of it's southern plants. The sit
uatiun in the copper trade is not unlike
that in steel and iron. Home consump-
ton of the metal is on the decline and
an open shading of prices during the
week is said to have been followed by
further secret concessions.
Only in mercantile lines has there
been pronounced improvement and this
chiefly in the retail trade. Bankers
accept this as a natural concomitant
of the holiday season and declare that
the outlook for the coming year is not
altogether encouraging.
Money evinced a much easier tend
ency. result not only of the heavy
inflow from interior points, but the
light demand. Bankers were heavy
buyers of commercial paper at mark
ed fall in the discount rate. There was
no renewal of the previous weeks at
tempts to secure gold from abroad but
quite heavy.
The general situation, so far as it
affects the leading transportation COM
panies of the country is practically UNI
changed. The broad and general policy
OF retrenchment entered into some
months ago still obtains and this pro-
gram is likely to find strict adherence
pending a settlement of the freight
rate question. The event of the week
in the railroad world was the increase
OF the Lehigh Valley Common dividend
from a six to 10 per cent basis. In
view of the recent large increase of
capital of the company and the greatly
reduced earnings reported during the
past few months, the action of the di-
rectors provoked no little criticism in
conservative quarters.

Stops Itching at Once.

a compound which possesses such
soothing and curative properties that,
when applied. it stops the itching of
eczema and similar diseases immedi-
ately. Sufferers who use it are amaz-
ed at the rapidity Of the relief which
follows it's use. The skin heals in an
astonishing short time, and all traces
of the disease are eradicated. The
name of this new remedy is Cadum,
and it is sold by all druggists for 10c.
and Csc a box. 1t is also remarkably
effective when used for acne, herpes,
pimples, blackheads, psoriasis, itching
piles, letter, salt rheum, and skin dis
eases generally. A Toe. box will verify
all these statements.
