A Lover Attempts to HIow Up nia Sweet-
heart's Father With Dynamite.
Evansville, Ind., July 31.—John B.
Day was arrested yesterday on the charge
of having placed two dynamite cartridges
eight Inches long In a sheaf of ryo as it was
about to be placed in a thrasher. The sheaf
fell apart and the cartridges dropped out,
thus providentially avoiding a tragedy, as
there were six men at work and all would
undoubtedly have been killed.
Day somo months ago eloped with a 13-
year-old girl, but was overtaken and
brought back and warned to keep away
from the child. He swore vengeance
against the father and Tuesday came to
town, bought the cartridges and planed
tbem lp th>- expecting they wo*>IJ t<n
fed into the machine by the girl's father.
Indignation against Day is very great and
fears are entertained that he may be
lynched.
The World'* Fair.
CmcAOO, July 31.—Secretary Dickinson
of the national world's fair commission
returned from his eastern trip last night.
He joined the subcommittee on permanent
organization at Philadelphia ten days ago
and attended its sessions in New York,
Washington and Cincinnati. Besides valu-
able information obtained by the commit-
tee, important results are likely to come
from the trip. President Palmer has been
convinced that no time is to be lost in
making preparation for the fair, and ho
will bo here in a few days to urgo tlio local
board to go to work. He will reconvene
the national commission as soon as tho
local board is ready to report plans of the
buildings and make its final financial show-
leg. This it is hoped may be done by the
middle of September.

Threatened Bread Famine.
Chicago, UK, July 31.—Unless Bakers
Aldrich and Bremner, whose large estab-
lishments are part of the American Biscuit
company, accede to the demands of their
striking journeymen bak9rs it hag been de-
cided by the Bakers' union to declare a shut
down of every bakery in the city, including
those who have acceded to the strikers'
terms. The journeymen see their opportu-
nity in the fact that business is and is like-
ly to be very heavy. Private families to a
large extent prefer to buy b.-ead rather than
make it, and the Odd Fellows' cantonment
In this city next week will cause heavy and
Increased demands for loaves and rolls.
Messrs. Aldrich aad Bremner have refused
the strikers' demands and If they persist in
It a bread famine seems inevitable.
The Cloakmakers Win.
Philadelphia, Pa., July 31.—After being
out fourtoen weeks the strike of the cloak-
makers here has ended in a victory for the
laboring men. The concessions made by
the managers are that they will employ only
union men and discharge non-union men at
present in their employ. On the other
baud tha union men have agreed to allow
non-union men who desire to do so to join
the union. The question of wages has yet
to be decided. A committee of eight mem-
bers of the union was appointed last even-
ing to confer with the manufacturers con-
cerning terms. If possible the contract will
be signed at once.

Bids for Sliver—The Tariff
Discussed.
Washington. July 31.—[Special] —The
house still continued on the civil sundry
bill to-day and the senate consumed ita
time on the tariff measure. These two have
become so old that they do not furnish food
for even the most imaginative correspon-
dent.
A slight breeze of interest occurred just
as the chaplain of the house had concluded
his prayers. General Oatos again pressed
his resolution providing for an Investiga-
tion of the general charge of the Economist
that congress had beon moved by the wealth
of capitalists in the consideration and com-
promise on the silver bill. He made
quite a speech on the subject and
was answered again by Cannon
of Illinois, who said the charges were
suoh that no reasonable community or man
would pay the least attention to them. Mr.
Peters of Kansas denied that the editorial
of the Economist spoke for tho alliance. He
was very severe on certain men in the al-
liance who, he said, were the worst of dem-
agogues. A running talk on the editorial
lasted for nearly au hour, and many tff the
members had an opportunity of relieving
themselves o* their pent up feelings against
the paper. Speaker Heed finally sustained
the point of order that as the charge wb»
vague and indefinite it could not be consid-
ered. An appeal from his decision was
voted down, aud this is perhaps the last we
wlil hear of it. The Economist is looked
upon by many members as stirring up op-
position to them, and they were anxious to
get a whack at it in some way.
Senatoi Blair has suddenly taken on great
speed. He remarked to-day that nt the
present rate of doing business the senate
would hold congress here till December on
the tariff bill aloue. He consumed nearly
the entire first months of the session with
his educational bill. He seems to have been
ready to go home as soon as his bill was
beaten and he is now impatient.
For some time there have beeu many ins
terrogations sent here from Paris for infors
matlon in regard to the law by which per-
sons convicted of murder can got their cases
into the supreme court. The interroga-
tions had in view the cased of the men cons
victed at Paris of the murder of Sheriff
Cross. G. P. M. Turner, a lawyer
from Memphis, Is in the city
and says he is employed by James
Leeper and Edward Powell, convicted
of murdor in Coryell county last January.
Ho says the case was appealed to the court
and thirty-two senators answored to their
names, eleven less than a quorum, where-
upon tho sergeant-at-arms was directed to
request the attendance of absent senators.
By 10.20aquorum had appeared, one of tho
latest to arrive being Mr. Sherman, who
offered the resolution by which the time of
meeting hail been advanced an hour, and
this circumstance was jocularly commented
on by some of the democratic seuarors.
Mr. K'yt! made a statement in relation to
the river and harbor bill. He said that the
committee on commerce, not wishing to an-
tagonize or to seem to antagonize the tariff,
had instructed him to consult the finance
committee as to the time when the river
and harbor bill could be considered; that
such consultation had taken place and it
had beon ngreed to, to tho entire satisfac-
tion of both committees; that the river aud
harbor bill would be taken up on Friday of
next week. The conference leport on the
District ofColumbia appropriation bill was
taken up, discussed for nu hour and a half,
(chiefly on the subject of street railroad
companies and their shortcomings) and
agreed to.
The tariff bill was then taken up and its
reading by paragraphs was continued. Be-
ginning at paragraph 33, page 0, the article
being extract of licorice, and the amend-
ment reported from the finance committee
being to reduce the rate on the hous3 bill
from 6 to 5 cents a pound, Mr. Macphersou
moved to make the rate 4 cents a pound,
which would be, he said, equal to an ad
valorem rate of 06 per cent, toe prices cur-
rent showing that the Now York price was
C cents a pound. Some discussion followed
and was entered Into by Piatt, Hawley and
Vance. Finally a vote was taken on Mae-
pherson's amendment to reduce the duty on
extract of licorice to 4 cents a pound, and it
was disagreed to by the usual partv vote-
yeas 10, nays 27. The committee amend-,
inent was then agreed to, making the duty
5 cents a pound.
The next paragraph was magnesia (car-
bonate of) medicinal, 4c per pound; cal-
cined. 8c per pound; sulphate of epsom
salts, 8-10c per pound.
Mr. McPhersou moved to reduce the rates
to 3c, ()c and 2-10c per pound respectively.
Disagreed to. The next paragraph was
motphia, or morphine, and all salts there-
of, 5ilc per ounce. Mcpherson moved to res
duce the rate to 25c. Disagreed to. Mc-
Pherson moved to reduce the duty on castor
oil from .">0c to 25c per gallon and said that
the former rate was equivalent to 25 pet-
cent ad valorem. Disagreed to. Plumb
moved to increase tho rate to 80c per gallon
(the present duty). Agreed to. Mcpherson
moved to reduce the duty on cod liver oil
from 10c per gallon to the present rate, 25
per cent ad valorem, and said that 10c per
gallon was equivalent to 52 per cent ad
valorem. Disagreed — yeas 21, nays 31.
Sever,i' paragraphs were read without any
amendment being ollfeied.
The paragraph as to flax seed was, at the
suggestion of Mr. Aldrich, passed over
without action. Mr. McPherson moved to
remove tho duty on fish oil from 8 cents per
gallon to 25 per cent ad valorom; rejected.
Paragraph 47, relating to opium, was
amended as recommended by the finance

of appeals and the judgment of the 'ower
r^" ■~i ' ..nd he secu'-ed a rehear-
ing of tho case, argued It aud the adverse
decision was reaffirmed. Judge Hurt, one
of the three judges, dissented. He asked
for an opportunity to retry the case, but
his request was overruled. He then peti-
tioned for a writ of error through the
United States circuit court of the western
district, presenting several grounds for the
writ, but retrying principally upon a law of
which none of the judges appeared to have
any knowledge until he directed their atten-
tion to it.
The statutes at large of the United States
for the second session of the Fiftieth con
gress, chapter 113, carry an act: "To
abolish circuit court powers of certain dis-
trict courts of the United States, and to
provide for writs of error in capital cases
and for other purposes."' It establishes
courts in Arkansas, Mississippi and South
Carolina; and after providing for the
terms of the courts and the ollicors neces-
sary to run them, it sets forth the follow-
ing section, that would not appear to have
come under the observation of the lawyers
who nre trying to find a way into the su-
preme court for Koinmler; "Section 6. That
liereafter in all cases of conviction of crime,
the punishment of which providod
by law is death, tried before any
court of the United States, Ihe
final judgment of such court against the
respondent shall, upon the application of
tho -espondent lie re-examined, revised or
affirmed by the supreme court of the
United States upon a writ of error, under
such rules and regulations as said court
may prescribe. Every suoh writ of error
shall be allowed as of the right, and with-
out the requirement of any security for the
prosecution of tho same or for costs. Upon
the allowance of every such writ of error,
it shall be the duty of the clerk of tho court
to which the writ of error shall be directed
to forthwith transmit to the clerk of the
supreme court of the United States a cer-
tified transcript of the record in such case,
and it shall be the duty of tho clerk of the
supreme court of the United States to re-
ceive, file aud docket the same.
Every such writ of error shall, during
its pendency, operate as a stay of proceed-
ings upon the judgment in respect of which
it is snod out. Any such writ of error may
be filed and docketed in said supreme court
at any time In a term held prior to the term
named in the citation, as well as at the term
so named, and all such writs of error shall
be advanced to a speedy hearing upon
motion of either party.
Wnen any such judgment shall be either
reversed or affirmed the case shall be res
manded to the court from whence It came
for further proceedings In aocordauoe with
the decision of the supreme court, and the
court to which the case Is so remanded
shall have power to cause such judgment of
the supreme court to be carried into execu-
tion. No suoh writ of error Bball be sued
out or granted unless a petition therefore
shall be filed with the clerk of the circuit in
which the trial shall have been had, during
the same time or within such time not ex-
ceeding sixty days next after the expiration
of the term of the court at which the trial
shall have been had as the court for cause
allowed bv order entered of the record."
When Mr. Turner produced his authority
to the Texas judges th»y granted him the
writ and to-day he presented himself at the
office of the supreme court to demand that
the case be docketed. The clerk had never
beard of the law but he soon saw that thero
was uo doubt about it and compiled with the
demand. The statute will make it a great
deal easier to get capital cases into the
supreme court and it is altogether probable
thst the opportunity will be siezed by the
counsel of many criminals.

SENATE.
Washington, July SL—Under the new
order for the dispatch of business the sen-
ate met at 10 a. m. There were, however,
not more than tea senators precent during
prayer, aad after the chaplain had retired
Gorman suggested the fact that there was
no quorum present. The roll was called
committee by making it read: "Opimium
containing less than 0 oer cent of morphia
and opium prepared for smoking, $12 per
pound'1 (instead of 410, as In tho honso bill),
although Mr.Sherman suggestod that a high
rate of duty would probably encourage the
smuggling of opium on the Pacific coast.
Paratrntph 48, as to barytes, was amended
on the recommendation of the finance coui-
n it.-.-j uy making the iruty on the unmanu-
factured article $1 per ton instead of $2, as
in the bouso bill, and on the manufactured
article ){ oent per pound Instead of $7 per
ton. Mr. McPherson offered similar amend-
ments to several other paragraphs under
tho heading of paints, colurs and varnishes,
and with the sajne unvarying result.
On one of the votes thore was no quorum
voting, and a call of tho roll failed to pro-
duceone. Then the sergeant at-arms was
directed to request the attendance of the
absent senators. Soon it was reported that
thero were fortv-soven Benatorspresent, and
further proceedings underthe roll call were
dispensed with. An amendment by Mc-
Pherson to-reduce the duty on whiting and
paris white from % cent a pound to 20 per
cent nd valorom was discussed over an hour
and a half and rejected by the nsnal party
vote—yeas 22, nays 81. An amondinent re-
ported by the financo committee, to strike
out, of paragraph 00 tho words "all paints
and colors commercially known as artists'
water color paints, 50 per ceut
ad valorem," was agreed to. This leaves all
such paints at 25 per cent ad valorem. The
next paragraph (61) was in reference to
acetate of lead, the fluance committee rec-
ommending an increase of duty in the
house bill on white acetate of lead from 3
to 5j j cents per pound, and on the browu
from 2 to 3}j cants per pound.
Four pages of the bill having thus been dis-
posed of to-day the senate adjourned, after
the statement by Mr. Blair that by a calcu-
lation which he made the bill wouid be dis-
posed of at the present rate of progress by
tne 20th of next December.
house.
M". Oates of Alabama, rising to a ques-
tion of privilege, offered a resolution for
the Investigation of charges of corruption
against members of the bouso contained in
a recent editorial in the National Econo-
mist. Mr. Oates said when a charge of this
character was made by a journal of respoc-
tability ana wide circulation it should not
be passed over in silence. If the charge
was true the country ought to know it. If
i: was not true P. was due to the good name
of the members of the house that this fact
should be established.
Mr. Cannon of Illinois contended that the
resolution did not present a question of
privilege. The charge made in the editorial
was indefinite. Nothing definite was
charged. For one, until somebody made a
reasonable specific charge and showed abil-
ity to produce evidence tint would tend to
establish it, bethought the house owed to
its dignity and to the business of the coun-
try to pay no attention to It.
After furtherdlscusslon the speaker ruled
that the resolution was not a privileged
one. In doing so he said the newspaper
editorial was of the vaguest character. It
made no assertion except by Inference. It
made no statement upon which anybody
could be expected to predicate a belief or
conviction. It was within the knowledge
of every member that paragraphs of this
kiinl were floating around the newspapers
of the country, llie house could see the in-
convenience which would result to the
business of the house if any member had
the rignt on the production of n paragraph
like this to demand an Investigation. The
house sustained the decision of the chair
on an appeal taken by Oates by a vote of
yeas #5, nays 71. The bouse then went into
committee of the whole on the senate
amendmente to the sundry civil bill.
The entire afternoon was consumed In
the discussion of the senate irrigation
amendment. Many amendments were pros
posed to this amendment, but the ultimate
result was that the senate amendment was
non - incurred in. The committee then
rose and reported the bill to tbe house.
Without disposing of the bill the house ad-
journed.
A CARD PROM MR. CRAIN.
that little misunderstanding.
Washington, July SL—To The News.-
So many inquiries reach me about the re-
cent misunderstanding with Mr. O'Brien
Moore. Washington correspondent of tbe
St. Louis Republic, that I desire to state
through The News that I had an interview
with him entirely satisfactory to me, caused
by certain publications unjustly reflecting
on me made by bun. No weapons were
used or displayed by either party. He did
not invite me outside the capitol to light or
for any other purpose.
Stories about my brandishing a pistol iu
the press gallery and hunting him after he
had gone to New York are purely imagi-
nary and sensational.
Mr. Moore did not say he had treated me
as he had treated other congressmen. The
interview lasted only a few minutes and
was witnessed by but one person, Mr. Pen-
nington of Brownsville, and attracted no
attention. w. H. Chain.

A JEALOUS LOVER
Kills His Sweetheart and Attempts Ills
Own Idle.
Louisville, Ky., July 31.—A sensational
shooting took place in the eastern portion
of the city this morning. Peter McCrary,
until recently night watchman at St. Louis
cemetery, shot aud mortally wounded Annie
Iiakln, a pretty servant ^irl employed at
tho home of Mr. Hcob, 857 Clay street.
McCrary, it seems, met the girl two years
ago, whec she was employod at the cema-
tery in »omo connection. She is a handsoino
blonde, and he was very devoted in his at-
tentions to her. calling upon her frequently
and regularly.
Last night he took her out for a walk. He
called a^aln about. 9 o'clock this morning.
The girl was afraid of McCrary, and
though she did not leave bim, had refused
to teli him to stop waiting upou ner, as ad-
vised by her friends. McCrary was very
jealous of Pat Dullaney, an old sweetheart
of Annie's. This morning, after a fbw min-
utes' conversation with the girl, he pulled
a pistol and shot her though the head The
ball eutered behind tho right ear aud passed
out below the left jaw. She Is still uncon-
scious, but, It is thought, can not possibly
live.
After shooting her McCrary attempted
twice to take his own life. Tho first ball
grazed tho skull and the second knocked
out his teeth, tearing away his lips and
part of his jaw. He was not seriously hurt,
however, and will live. It seems tho girl
refused to marry him, and said she was
going to resume her intimacy with her for-
mer lover, Pat Dulaney. McCrary was Im-
prisoned.

CLOSING THE DENS.
Raiding the Gamblers In St. Louis—New
Tactics Adopted by the fullce.
St. Louis, Mo,, July 31.—The police aro
making it warm for the crap shooters aud
favo dealers, who havo been using Pool
alley as a blind. Yesteiday a squad of
eight policomen, furnished with iron liars
about three feet long, invaded the alley aud
forced open the doors of several dens where
gaming was in progress, startling and
putting to flight the players.
The now tactics adopted by the authorities
are having a satisfactory effect. Whero
arrests are made tbe prisoners are kept in
tbesweatbox for twenty-four hours, bail
being refused till after the expiration of
that time. Herotoforo gamblers were al-
lowed to give bail at once and there was
only a momentary interruption of the game.
Under the new rules all this is changed, and
many old time sports have concluded to
close up until they have some assurance
that they will not have to spend a night in
the station bouse.
