The fiends who planned uie explo
sion did their'- work well, despite the
fact that part of the plan failed. They
placed about twenty-four sticks of dy
namite under the building, each, being
about nine inches long and weighing
nbnnt linlf n nonrnl. A wire connected
the sticks with a battery situated,!
about fifty yards away. When the j
signal 'was given only about half a
dozen of the sticks exploded. . They '
were sufficient however, to completely
wreck 'the building, not a bean or plank ;
of which was left standing. Several j
of the inmates who occupied beds in j
the upper floor were hurled fifty feet j
in the air. Some of them escaped fatal
injuries by alighting in the treses near
by. Half dazed by fear and sleep, they j
managed to hold on to the branches
until thev recovered their senses and
were able to reach the ground. A track
walker, who arrived on the scene
shortly after the explosion, says it re
sembled a battle field.

high Valley road were' notified and a
special train, with a number of physi
cians, was hurried to the scene. The
doctors dressed the wounds of the in
jured, who were brought to the hos
pital in this city. ,
The boarding boss says he is at a loss
as to what prompted the deed. As far
as he knoft's he has no enemies in the
world.- Some of the boarders think the
"motive was robbery, as several of them
were . known to have considerable
money in their possession. If this
was the object of the fiends it was
plain why they placed so much of the
explosives under the building. They
wanted to , kill every person in the
place in order to get the plunder and
then escape detection. Up to 7 o'clock
last night no arrests had been made.
One of the wounded men says immedi
ately after the explosion he saw foiu
strange men running down tlie road

Mills. " They carried lanterns. While
he lay on the gound another stranger
approached him and rilled his pockts.

Dr. Good, a missionary in the in
terior of Africa, says that the poverty
of the native languages is a serious
hindrance to missionary effort. In the
Bule language, for instance, there is
no word for "thanks" or "thanksgiv
ing." "To believe," "to trust," "to
have faith" are all expressed by one
verb to which there is no correspond
ing noun. There is no word for "spir
it." The Bule have always believed in
an invisible god, but they have never
given such a being.a name. With the
Bule a living man has a body and a
shadow the literal shape cast by the
living person which at death leaves
the body and becomes a disembodied
sfiirit with a new name which can not
be used to apply to God and the angels.
So Dr. Good is driven to say that God
is a "shadow" and that Christ will
send His "holy shadow? into men's
hearts, etc.
When one addresses a letter to Mrs.
, chairman of - , etc., etc., the in
congruity grates on the feeling of a
person not yet so "advanced" as to
think "men may as well be abolished,
anyway;" and that the feeling is not
confined to this side of the water, is
shown by Prof. Charteris's remarks at
the University of Glasgow, 'in July,
when, lor the nrst time, a bcotch uni
versity conferred a medical degree
upon two women, one of whom was
made Bachelor of medicine, the other
Master of Surgery. He said he hoped
the time would come when decrees
would be bestowed that would do less
violence to the- sex, and would run
"Spinster in Medicine" and "Mistress
in Surgery." The Italian language
furnishes the pleasantest way out of
the difficulty, as the il dottore needs
only to be changed to la dottora and
there you have her, and many of her,
too; for the groundswell of medical
education for women has reached
sleepy old Italy, in which country one
of the ministers of instruction is the

BRAITAIN'S COLONIAL POLICY.
Foils German Plans, It is Alleged, Under
Guise of Friendship.
Berlin, October 22. The Nord
deutsch Alteemein, Zeitung voiced yes
terday the discontent felt in the foreign
office with the hostile colonial policy of
Great Britain. While making the
greatest pretentions of friendship, it is
said, Great Britain intrigues actively to
foil German plans of colonial extension.
It pointed out how the British colonial
policy blocks the expansion of other
nations in Africa, and, in referring to
the Delogoa bay troubles, justified the
transvaal in assisting the Portugese.
Such assistance in the interest of the
transyaal and to the exclusion of the
British must be approved by all persons
outside Great Britain and her colonies.
The Kreuz Zeitung says that South Af
ricans now in Berlin are sure that
transvaal would not hesitate to bring
hostilities in case England should try
to occupy the Delagoa bay territory.
The same journal expresses the hope
that the Boers will not curb their an

FEMALE PENSION FRAUD.
She Remarried, But Still Drew a Widow'
Pension.
St. Joseph, Mo., October 22. Mrs.
Annie Thompson, of 318 Pouline street,
has been arrested by Deputy United
States Marshal Smith on a warrant
charging her with having made false
affidavit in a pension claim. The arrest
was made on information of Special
Pension Examiner A. G. Greenstreet,
who has been working on the- case for
several weeks. . Mrs. Thompson has
been drawing a widow's pension from
the government since August 18, 1384.
Since March 19, 1886, up to the present
time, Mrs. Thompson has been drawing
812 per month, an increase of 84 per
month, having been granted her on an
application filed some time during the
year 1885. November 24, 1886, she was
again married, this time to John O'Con
nor, of Maysville. . Some time ago they
separated, and he informed -federal offi
cers of the pension. Mrs. Thompson
claims never to have been legally mar
ried to O'Connor. She is in jail in de
fault of bail.

CARLISLE BEGS TO DIFFER.
An Opinion on the Issue of Bloyd County.
Cteorrls, Bonds th Issue.
Washington, October 22. Secretary
Carlisle is in trouble in consequence of
an opinion recently made by Judge
Reeve, solicitor of the treasury, to the
effect that the repeal of the state bank
tax is not necessary to increase local
circulation. The question arose on an
inquiry by Mr. R.G. Clark, of Rome,
Ga., as to the right of the commission
ers of Floyd county, Ga., to increase a
certain amount of county bonds, 4 per
cent interest, in denominations of five,
ten and twenty dollars, with a view of
using the same as local currency. He
asks whether such action would con
flict in any way with United States
banking laws. The matter was referr
ed to Solicitor Reeve, and he advised
the secretary that no statute of the
United states prohibits the issue of
county bonds in any denomination, and
that a county has a right to issue bonds
when not in controvention to the con
stitution of the state.
As to the state bank tax act of 1875,
Mr. Reeve held that the word "county"
is not enumerated among taxable bodies
and that therefore county bonds are
not subject to the 10 per cent tax.
The people of Floyd county have be
come widely" enthusiastic over, the
opinion, and are making elaborate
preparations to have the bond issue au
thorized to the coming election, it be
ing one of the principal issues of the
campaign. Mass meetings have been
held and committees appointed to ar
range for a big barbecue on election
day.
The people may . be doomed to a very
great disappointment in this matter,
however, inasmuch as Secretary Car
lisle does not agree with the opinion of
of Solicitor Reeve and will not take any
action in the matter until he has heard
from Attorney General Olney, to whom
he has referred Solicitor Reeve's opin
ion for review.
