At 125 o'clock this morning a terrific explosion occurred at the Lobau barracks, occupied by the Republican Guard, adjoining the Hotel de Ville. The barracks are occupied by 800 Guards, but, of course, they 'were not all in the building. There were, however, a large number of men asleep in the barracks. Suddenly awakened by the tremendous roar, the men sprang from the windows and doors. The police at once began an investigation, and soon learned that a dynamite cartridge had been placed upon the ledge of a window of the mess room, which is situated on the ground floor of the barracks. Pieces of the copper casing of the cartridge and bits of a fuse were found, and these explained the methods the miscreants had employed. The" guards escaped without injury, and the only harm done.was to the barracks and the buildings in the vicinity. The sentinel on guard was closely ques tioned, but he declared that he had observed nobody of a suspicious character about the building. The police were at an utter los to account tor the manner in which the Anarchists, if such they were, placed the cartridge on the window" ledge. When the night prowlers rushed to the barracks the police made them give an account of where they had been and what they had been do ing. One of the crowd stated that he was approaching the barracks, and while yet a little distance away he saw a man, wearing a blouse, run through Hue Francis Miron. A minute afterward he saw a bright flash and heard a terrific report. A sentinel who was on duty at another part of the barracks from the one above mentioned says he saw two men near the barracks, but they seemed to be doing noth ing that warranted his interference, so he raid nothing to them. These men soon walked away and the sentinel thought noth ing more about them until after the explo sion. A Cabinet council was held this after noon, 'at which President Carnot signed a bill introducing a clause in the penal code, making the willful destruction of property by means of explosives punishable with death. This clause will at once be intro duced in the Chamber of Deputies. A judicial inquiry into this morning's ex plosion was started at the earliest possible moment, and is still in progress. The portion of a cartridge found in the debris is composed of copper and zino riveted together. The explosive matter which the cartridge contained was, accord ing to experts, picrate pottaslum. The painted windows of St. Gervais Church damaged by the explosion are works of the thirteenth century. The loss arising from the damage they have suflered is irrepair able. Another theft of dynamite cartridges has been discovered bv the authorities, and this fact has greatly increased the prevailing uneasiness caused by the explosion to-day and other startling" explosions which have occurred recently. The officials at Cham bery, a city in the department of Savoy, 45 miles distant from Geneva, were astounded to-day when it was found that a magazine at that place had been broken into by force. An investigation was at once instituted, and it was discovered that 32 dynamite cartridges which had been stored in the magazine had been stolen. It is feared that these deadly explosives have fallen into the hands of the Anarch ists, and that explosions similar to those which have thrown the people of this city into a state of great excitement will be the result of this latest daring robbery of Gov ernment cartridges. LADY RANDOLPH ROBBED. The rickpocket Takes Advantage of a Gen eral Fracas at Monte Carlo. Monte Caelo, March 15. An exciting row occurred to-day in the gambling saloon of the Casino here. A man had in some way offended a woman, and the latter re taliated by boxing his ears. The affair, of course, drew everybody's attention, and some of the friends of the , man and the woman took a hand in the affair. A general row resulted, which was only quelled by the appearance of the police, who arrested everj one -who had engaged in the fracas. Among those who were in the saloon at the time the row began was Lady Randolph Churchill. Some enterprising "pickpocket during the excitement sidled up to Lady Randolph Churchill and relieved her of her purse, which contained rather a large sum of gold, a number of valuable coins struck off during Queen Victoria's jubilee. DEATH IHE PENALTY, To Destroy Property With Explosives TT111 Be a Capital Oflense. Paeis, March 15. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M.

St. Petersbubo, March 15. The lia bilities of J. E. Guenzburg, the Hebrew banker, whose suspension was announced to-day, amount to 6,000,000 roubles. A majority of the creditors are in London and Paris. Further particulars regarding the failure show that it is attributed partly to Govern ment animosity, which has hampered the financial business of the house. Since M. Guenzburg, as the leading Hebrew banker in Russia aroused the Czar's wrath by try ing to buy the influence of the Minister of the Interior with a view to bringing about an abatement in the prosecntions of ihe Hebrews, his affairs have gone badly. His intimate relations with German Hebrew bankers have lately been a source of weak ness, as finances in St. Petersburg are now allied with those of Paris. It is expected that the creditors of M. Guenzburg will ultimately be paid in fulL RELIGIOUS T0LEEATI0N 15 BEITAIK. A Bill In trod need by an Irish Catholic Passes Its First Stage. London, March 15. In the House of Commons to-day the Right Hon. Sir John Gorst, Financial Secretary of the Treasury, replying to a question asked by James C. Flynn (McCarthyite), said that Irish ex hibitors at the Chicago "World's Fair would be charged by the British committee for space the same as the English exhibitors. Such a charge is necessary because the funds of the Exhibition Committee are not suffi cient to defray all the expenses. Patrick O'Brien (Parnellite) introduced, a bill to amend the Catholic relief act in order to remove the disabilities of Catholics in England and Ireland imposed by the act. Mr. O'Brien said that he thought that as the House had repealed the laws in regard to Eastbourne, so as to enable the Salvation Army there to hold its processions, equal laws should obtain for Catholics. The measure passed its first reading by an over whelming majority by a show of hands. RECIPROCITY WITH FBAHCE. President Carnot Signs the Bill and the Measure Is Ratified. Pabis, March 15.

MANY BREAKS NOW IN THE RANKS. A Number of Stories of Lively Experiences elated'Testerday. BEICKH1KERS AT THE FESTAL BOAED Like the Grand Army of the Republic, the Argonauts who made California, are irrepressible. The old Forty-niners suffered hardships and had experiences on the "Western plains which are the envy of the youth of the present day. It wonld be im possible now to duplicate their adventures, for the railways cross the eontinent and run through every section of the country that they reached in the early days with their horses and wagons. The remnant of the Pittsburg and Cali fornia Enterprise Company held its annual meeting at the Duquesne Hotel' yesterday. They commenced their experience meeting at 4 o'clock, and at 6 sat down to an elab orate banquet. Of the 300 members orig inally in the company, who were attracted in 1849 by the gold fever, only 70 are living. Of this number 38 are now residing in "Western Pennsylvania. Most of tbem come from Pittsburg and vicinity. Those Who Have Gone Before. Since the meeting ofa year ago six mem bers have died. "Within the last three months Richard "Wilson, a pork packer, Henry "Wilson, a freight clerk on the Lake Erie road, and Jonathan Aiken,afarmer,liv ing a few miles from the city, passed away. Just 17 members were present at the meeting and banquet These were: J. El Dorrington, Jacob Cnpps, Springdale; J. C Anderson, Sewickler; "William Wil son, "W. Shaffer, "W. M. Murray, "W. C Reid, John Kearns, Zanesville;H. Dick son, Pittsburg; Dr. Thomas Galbraith, Tarentum; "W. J. Bender. John Glenn, Tarentum; F. C. Negley, C F. Kirtland, Poland; George M Dosh, H. C Heineman, Butler; Thomas Gregg, Monongahela City; James E. Kearns, visitor, Tarentum. Major F. G Neeley, of Pittsburg, is Pres ident, W. J. Bender Secretary and Henry Dickson Treasurer. These officers were re elected for another year. The average age of the members present was about 65. Dr. Galbraith, of Tarentum, is regarded as the father of the society. He is 76 years old. The youngest member at the meeting was "William Wilson. He was 13 years old when he crossed the plains with the forty-niners. Major Negley acted as toastmaster. "Our country," was Dr. Galbraithi's sub ject; C. F. Kirtland spoke on the "Cali fornia Pioneers;" "Our Absent Comrades" was assigned to Henry Dickson. The toast, "Our Comrades "Who Have Passed the Divide," was answered in silence. Major F. CL Hegley spoke on "California, the Effect of Its Admission as a Free State on the United States and the world." "Cali fornia Then and Now," was the subject of "W. J. Bender. The Great Work Accomplished. Major Hegley spoke of their great work in making California a free State. He said if it had not been for the votes of the forty niners California would have been admitted as a slave State; and it would have made a tie of 15 in the Senate, and ever afterward the slaveholders would have insisted that every oth'.r State admitted should be a slave one. Under the circumstances he claims California was the first State to de clare against slavery, and figured exten sively in the political history that finally led to the civil war. The Major told how they went to the polls with their shotguns, so bitter was the feeling against them. A week before the election the slaveholders thought they were snre of a majority. Numerous stories were told of their ad ventures With the Indians and wild beasts on the plains. Their first meeting with the soda and chimney rocks and the beer and soda springs were related by members. It was decided to meet next year at Chicago during the "World's Fair with the Pioneers of California, the parent society. The date has been fixed as September 9. BBICSK&XERS AT A FEAST.

After discussing the menu Evan Jones, the toastmaster, rose to speak and the audience shouted. .Mr. Jones wanted to know if they took him for a "Welshman. Then he spoke of the brick industry being the oldest known. Edwin McGraw made the opening ad dress. He spoke on the good feeling that existed between the manufacturers. He was followed by Mr. Graham, who also talked on the early history of the business, and said it was the blue blood industry of the world. He also remarked that he never knew of any of the Israelite brethren evergoing into the busi ness. He supposed that it was because they had enough of it several thousand years ago. He says the business was first spoken of in connection with the toastmaster's mother tongue at the building of the Tower of Babel. Other addesses were made by Messrs. Bentz, J. J. Howley, Fronz, Carr, Daley, Senator Neeb and others.

Twill Ealse the Price of Coal and Call Attention to the Lameness or the State Constitution He Comments on a Peti tion In a Railroad Office. ' ScEANTON, March 15. General Master "Workman Powderly published in Truth of this evening an article of a column and a half oh" the Reading deaL Among other things Mr. Powderly said: Public opinion Is undergoing a most won derful change, or else the people are quietly surrendering their right to mold public sen timent. Last week I saw a petition Intended for presentation to Governor Pattison, favoilng the perpetuation of the great Coal Trust, in one of the offices of the Heading Company. The employes informed me that they were given to Understand that their positions depended on their signing this paper. I requested permission to make pub lic the fact, ana give names and locations, but they would not consent for fear of dis cbarge and blacklisting. - Those who seek to Intimidate me by hint in;; that I was working in unison with capit alists are mistaken In their estimate of the subject or the man. I do not care who or what I work with, so long as It Is In the right direction,-in the right time and for a good purpose. Mr. Cassatt can speak for his own modes. Mine aie in the direction of preserving inviolate the great charter of the State, and, in case that cannot be done, to work such changes in the document as will make it so plain that it may be under stood by the simple-minded, everyday man, who has no time to lead up on the laws. If I were Governor of Pennsylvania (par don me now for presuming to say what I think should be done), a notice would be served on every company interested in this deal that If they persisted In their work their charter would be forfeited and a de mand would be made that they be placed In tho hands or receivers until they made amends for their attempted violation of the Constitution. Heretofore the fear that one company might kick over the traces and give the men a few more days in the month, or the people of the cities a few more tons of coal, caused the mines to work a portion of the time. With this combination in suc cessful operation no such tear will be felt. In the meantime it is no small satisfaction to know that those who protested last year that our Constitution was "good enough," "admirable," "wonderful," "all sufficient," and that those who advocated a change were all wrong, are now either finding fault with the Governor for not enforcing it, as tbey see it, or excusing him for not knowing what it means. What does it mean, anywayt On the whole, I do not know but that it is best to allow this deal to go on. It will grow bolder, it will grow more arrogant, it will raise the price of coal, no matter what they say Just now. It will become so insolent that it will cause all right-minded men to see the danger which faces them, in allowing this octopus to grow and spread. PAID FOE THEIR OWN AEEEST. Herdlc Bide of Two Criminals In Company With a Policeman. " Boston Herald. Station 2 is one of the police stations not provided with a patrol -wagon, but some of the officers at the house think there isn't much need of one, after all. The criminals are furnishing their own transportation now. There is a building on Long wharf used as a depot for stores awaiting transporta tion to the Government stations down the harbor. A few nights ago two thieves gained an entrance to the place, and after securing such booty as they desired, one of them went in quest of some means of conveying it to their quarters. Just then a patrolman of Division 2 came along, and, noting their suspicious actions, concealed'himself in a doorway and awaited developments. The second man soon returned with a herdic, and getting inside with their spoils the two drove directly past the doorway in which the officer was concealed. They were naturally a little surprised when a tall form in a policeman's uniform sprang into the herdic, and a voice called to the driver: "We have changed our minds. Drive to station 2, please." Of course it was useless to resist, but the two rthieves thought it was "crowding the mourners" to make them pay the officer's herdic fare, as well as their own. THE BEADING CAN DODGE. Not Without Resources, Even If Knocked Ont In Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, March 15. The dis patches from Harrisburg, announcing the filing of a bill in equity by Attorney Gen eral Hensel in the matter of the Reading combine, caused no surprise, as such action was generally expected. The prevailing opinion is that in case the combination is declared illegal, the parties behind it will attempt to put it through in another form. The New Jersey Legislature having passed a bill legalizing the combination, the authorities of this State can do nothing except by declaring the leasing of the Le high by the Reading illegal, and in case the courts sustain them it is understood that a new corporation will be formed in New Jersey, and that it will control the Legigh Valley, which will be operated in harmony with the Reading. By this means the com bination would go into effect, although the Lehigh would not be leased by the Read ing. WHITEHAH STILL HISSING. He Turns Ont to Be the Private Secretary of Allerton.

Wonderful Effect of Threatened He roic Surgical Treatment. MIRACLES PUT AT A DISCOUNT. A Woman la Frightened Back4o Health hj Her Physician. EFFECT OF THE HIND UPON DISEASES New Yobk, March 15, A "Williamsburg physician has effected a cure of a malady similar to that which Saloon Keeper Michael B. McCarthy, of No. 101 "West street, New York, suffered. It will be remembered that McCarthy fell from a horse car and lateT de veloped a rate of respiration of an abnormal kind. He breathed at the rate of about three respirations per second, and was avowedly unable to' prevent himself from so doing. The faculty of a New York hos pital confessed Itself puzzled over the case, but finally concluded that the injuries which the man had received at the time of his accident had in some way interferred with the nerves which controlled the lung muscles. After applying remedies of the usual type these doctors alleged that his disease was of an incurable nature. A good many other -doctors, however, alleged that the man's affliction was of a purely nervous nature, and that had be been treated as a victim of hysteria the mystery of his malady would have been solved in a very commonplace way. McCarthy was contented, however, to accept the verdict of a New York physic ian and continued his steam-engine breath ing to his personal misery and the discom fort of those around him. Somebody suggested that he should call on Father Tom Adams, the suspended "Williamsburg priest, who alleges that he can effect marvelous cures with the aid of relics, and who excited a certain amount of public attention recentlv. The saloon keeper did so and the priest went through his hy a Mental Process. By a mental process familiar to all vic tims of hysteria and the medical profession at large, the man having mental methods applied to his mental disease was tempor arily relieved. The story of the alleged miracle was spread abroad, and Father Adams' "boom" dates fromthat period. The case to which reference is made above is that of Mrs. Mary Marcus, residing on Driggs avenue, near South Second street Her husband is in comfortable circum stances, and a sister is a member of the family. Mrs. Marcus is a woman of nervous temperament, and during the past few years has developed hysteria, which has mani fested itself in several ways. Dr. Silas C. Blaisdell, of Roebling Btreet, is the family physician, and owing to the frequency of his visits to the house has become familiar with the idiosyncrasies of the woman. Dr. Blaisdell was very reticent about the case, but the facts are as follows: Recently Mrs. Marcus developed respira tion of almost precisely the same nature tis that of the New York man. In her case, however, there was apparently no prelimin ary reason for her so doing. She Had an Attack of Hysteria. Dr. Blaisdell, on being summoned to the home, found that she was breathing at the rate of 130 to 140 times per minute, and that her respiration was so violent that it could be heard all over the house. Her pulse was normal, however, although her throat was more or less inflamed and the chest muscles, owing to the strain placed upon them, were giving her considerable pain. She found it impossible to articulate two consecutive words. The physician. after examining her, came to the conclusion that the case was one of hysteria, pure and simple. He applied the remedies usually prescribed in such cases, but found that they were useless, and at last concluded that an appeal to her mentality rather than to her bodily being would be the only way of effect He was confirmed in his belief ing a cure. that hysteria was at the base of her trouble, J Highest of all in Leavening Power.

The physician has a voice which would be heard to advantage in front ofa regiment of soldiers. He used it on this occasion with even a sterner ring than it possesses naturally. "Now, madam," he said, ."stop that breathing." "I c-a-n-t," gasped the patient "I will give you exactly two minutes to do so," answered the physician, producing his watch and seating himself on the edge of the bed. The two minutes passed and still Mrs. Marcus gave no evidence of being better. He Frightened Her With a Poker. Then the physician rose to his feet, and, in a ringing voice, asked for a poker. The implement was brought to him .and he ordered the patient's sister to put it in the fire. "W-h-a-t a-r-e y-o-u g-o-l-n-g t-o d-o?" asked the sufferer between breaths. "What am I going to do, madam?" said Dr. Blaisdell, with his eves flashing, "I am going to cauterize you from the nape ot the neck, to your waist on both sides of your spine." "Don't hurt me," pleaded the woman, with difficulty. "I must do my duty," said the doctor, "and this is the one thing left The opera tion is painful, but necessary. In the event of your submitting to it, well and good. If otherwise, I shall use force." Then turning to the other woman, he asked: "Is the poker cherry red?" ' "It is," was the reply. 'Then prepare for the operation," he said to the patient, and dexterouslv turn ing her on her face, he drew down the bed clothes and told the sister to hand him the poker before it got cold. Believing him to be in earnest, Mrs. Mar cus's fright got the better of her hysteria, and in a perfectly natural voice, accom panied by normal breathing, she begged the doctor not burn her. Dr. Blaisdell didn't relent so easily, how ever, and it was not until after so many tears and prayers on the part of the pa tient that he consented to put away the poker. "I warn you, however," he said, "that if I hear of the return of this nonsense of yours I shall cauterize you at all haz ards. You can check that breathing if you see fit I am in earnest" Mrs. Marcus has had no return of the malady since. Dr. Blaisdell probably thinks that the red-hot poker can discount 'relics in cases of this type. Arrested With the Plunder.
