England KxcltetL A GANG or IRELAND'S WORST ENEMVES CAUGHT. A MANIFACTtRV AMI AS ~ IMMENSE QUANTITY OP INFERNAL MATERIAL CAPTURED. BIRMINGHAM. Ajiril 5. —Tho city police made a raid on a suspected locality in I.edsam street, I.adywood, arifl discover ed a Fenian nitro glycerine factory in operation. The premises were taken two months ago by Whitehead, an Irish- American, who displayed a sign indi cating the business of a paper hanger. Whitehead has been arrested. A con siderable quantity of nitroglycerine was seized. Whitehead is aged twenty five, is of dark complexion, with marked American accent. He has been in the habit of purchasing nitro glycerine and acids necessary to run tho business. The appartus for preparing and fixing the explosive compound* constructed ' on scientific principles. It was a shrewd ly devised method, of carrying fumes up the chimney and consuming the odors. Whitehead's examination this afternoon developed nothing startling. It is stated that the police are seeking another gang of dynamite manufactur ers, supposed to be located at F.gertown. A large quantity of documents were found in a factory and seized. LONDON, April 5. In connection with the discovery of the dynamite factory at Birmingham last night, a report wa received by the government office that some conspirator* were already on their way to Windsor from there. It is ex pected that the number of arrests will shortly increase. It is learned that the man first arrested last night engaged rooms on Southampton street, at the corner of Strand, giving his name a* Ormund and stating that he was a medi cal student. Subsequently he said that hia correct name was Norman. The first inquiry for rooms was made by an elderly man. A box of explosives was taken to Norman's lodgings by a person of rakish appearance, who looked like a tramp. It is believed that this indi vidual and the elderly man have been identified in the persons arrested at latmbeth to-day. >ne of the men had in his pockets and sewed up in hi# clothing a large sum of money, a portion of which is reported to he American coin. Street rumor made free use of the American name and connected many Irish Americans with the plots. One of the Lambeth prisoners se cured lodgings in the name of Wilson. His movements, however, excited so much auspician among his neighbors that he left his room yesterday, saying that it was his intention to go to Wol verhampton. When he returned to-day, he was surprised to find five detective* waiting for him. Norman undoubtedly came direct from Birmingham. The place where he stopped was over an office where the court circular was printed. The proprietor of the circular recently received letters containing dire threats, the origin of which he has no difficulty in tracing to the prisoner. Henry Fulton was taken into custody to-night. He came from the United •States two weeks ago and was found at the American exchange. He made no resistance. There was a sensation in the House of Oommon* as well as elsewhere, when these arrests were announced. liar court stated the circumstances of the arrests, and added that 150 pounds of highly explosive liquid were found in Norman's quarters. It was stored in skilfully devised rubber bags. He said that a considerable amount of the same kind of explosives had been discovered in the rooms of the Lambeth prisoners, and part of the money on one of the men was American bank notes. There is no doubt that all the parties arrested are connected with the same plot. The home secretary sent a dispatch ' to Birmingham, asking the authorities to remand Whitehead for a week. The same action was taken here in tho case of Norman and the two Lambeth ac complices. The magistrate accordingly ' remanded tho prisoner, stating that no formal chargo would ho made against them today. • A Huntingdon Industry TV Gondola Tannin Company's Content ' plated Kxtrmion—An Important Invention. I HUNTINGDON, April I.—Tho Gondola i Tannin Company contemplates the du plication of their works at this place during the coming summer. They in . tend to occupy, ultimately, their entire grounds extending along the Pennsyl vania Railroad from tho South side of 1 Eleventh Street to tho North side of Thirteenth Street, a distance of '.150 feet. When this has been done, the works will bo four times their present size ami capacity. This company has introduced it new industry of vast importance to tho country. Their establishment, the only one of the kind in America, produces a material for tanning leather as a sub stilute for the barks heretofore and still in extensive use. The process was in vented and patented by Paul Gondola, a Frenchman, from whom the works take their name and who has an inter' est in them. Associated with him are New York and Philadelphia capitalists, tho officers and directors of the com pany residing in thoso cities. Gondola, by his invention, has an swered the question often asked by tan nor#, ''What will we do when the bark i# exhautcd ?"' His process, instead of stripping the tree of its covering and using only the latter, leaving the trunk to decay in tho forest, as it frequently does, utilizes tho wood and extracts from it the active principle—tannic j acid—which converts the raw hides into an indispensable article of commerce. It will, in tho future, relievo the man j ufacture of leather of much of the ex. pense and many of the inconveniences by which it has been attended. The tanners now transport their bark over long distances or build tho tanneries in out of the-way places among tho trees. This will no longer be necessary, as the new product is highly concentrated and occupies but little space, and freight charges for conveying it to any part of the country will not be heavy. It finds a market now in Texas, Georgia, Vir ginia, New York and the New England States, to all of which the works are shipping. The extent of the demand, when it comes into general u#e, as it i# rapidly doing, may he inferred from the fact that there are in Pennsylvania alone twelve hundred tanneries, ami that there is one of these that will con sumo twice as much as the present work# can make. No other works than these will be built in tho United States, while the grounds of the company at thi* [dace will afford [room for extension. In Europe they have been established in France, Italy, Belgium and some other countries. Large quantities of chestnut and rock oak wood, the kind principal ly used, and which were before com paratively worth but little wbern they are found, aro being used, and are brought here from every direction t for hundred* of miles. The value added to this material is incalculably great to this section of the State. Live Hypocrisy. ' ne of tho inherent principle* of the Republican leaders in the state i* hypoc risy. They assume virtue* which they have not. They continually wear *ack cloth to deceive people. The name Re publican i* a misnomer. They are selfish tyrants at hoart and soul, plotting con tinually for the abatement of every vital right of those who differ from them in their estimates of equity and justice, •lust now they affect to see no good thing in the fairly constructed Appor tionment bill which the Democrat* have successfully framed for consideration. They do this simply lrecauee an honest apportionment will materially interfere with tho Republican majorities in the future. Because under a perpetuation of the old system, *e# enty six thousand Democrat* of Philadelphia may he rep resented only by six members and one Senator, while ninety six thousand He publicans of the sar.ie city get thirty one members and seven Senators. Of course the Republican leaders kick against any ap|K>rtionment bill that will modify this outrageous condition of thing*. Then, again, the Democratic counties of Luzerne, Lackawanna ami Schuylkill would, under the proposed new Appor tionment bill, lie divorced from the control of the Republican bosses, and this would never do. The thing that will strike the average thinker, however, wit h peculiar surprise if he looks fairly into the apportion ment meaeure now before the Legisla ture, is the open hypocrisy shown by the Stalwart Isadora. They not only denounce the bill, but with pharwaical persistence lengthen their faces [down to a solemn degree of suiutliness to pro nounce against the awful iniquities which they allege aro hidden in the bill. .Such monstrous exhibitions of blatant duplicity could only be exhibit ed by the corrupt leaders of a decayed and dying party.— Union Leader. ♦ Y.

I was a most miserable sufferer from the vari ous annoying and distressing diseases of delicate persons, which caused me to be confined to my bed for a long time, I being too weak to even boar my.weight upon my feet. I wan treated by the most reputable physicians in our city, each and all saying that they could do nothing for me. i had given up all hopes of ever being well. In this con dition I began to take your Manalin and J'rruna, and, I am happy to say, in three months I was perfectly well—entirely cured without any appliances or sup port of any kind.
