i '1 I V The Somerset Herald. EDWARD 6CCLL, Editor and Proprietor. WEDNESDAY. There ie Borne talk of resurrecting Rutherford B. Hay, and running Lira again for Governor of Ohio. It is estimated that 6eventy-five thousand persons were present last week at the funeral f the late Gov ernor Stephas, of Georgia. . Whex the jury in the Dukes' ease was empanneled, it was announced by the Democratic Clerk of the Court, that it was a Democratic jury drawn to acquit A tarty of capitalists ia New York, propose to import Swedes and establish a factory to make fine matches, which are said to be supe rior to anything we have in this country. .Skxatoks Emery and McXight, bad a fisticuff in the Senate cham ber last week. Emery had wetter let up a ppell reforming the Repub lican party, and take to reforming Lis manners. The report Laving been started that the new tariff law is unconsti tutional, Judge Kelly, the father of the House, denounces the report, and declares it to be without foun dation. The newf paper scribes have "let up1' Ai the ground Log this season, and tre lending all their energies to the abuse of Wiggins. These fellows are never happy unless they are berating some unlucky varmint. The notorious ex-Governor Sj.rngue of Rhode Island, has been nominated by the Independents as a candidate for Governor. It is thought that the Democrats will adopt him, and the coalitionists Lope to defeat the Regular Republi can candidate. Ex-Jcuge, and ex-Senator David Davis, who lately presided over the deliberations of the U. S. Senate as its President, was married last week. The distinguished gentleman is sixty-five, weighs over three hundred !Mund.,and is worth several millions of dollars. Rei-oets from Washington state that Senator Cameron is slowly re covering from the effects of the sur gical operation be submitted to, and it is expected that he will be able to ho removed to the South in a few days, to a warmer climate. Wobd comes from Uarrisburg that if Dukes attempts to take Lis eeat in the House of Representatives, Le will be bitterly opposed. The party leaders on both sides of the I louse vow that they will not sit with a man who has been guilty of such infamous criases. 1 Revenue officers Lave just cap tured ten illicit distilleries in Ken tucky, the State whose senior Sena tor declared, during the recent tariff debate, that he never owned more than a single barrel of whisky at any one time in his life. The Dukes jury set all law at lt fiimrfl. and some of the people of Fayette county are disposed to mete out to them the fruits of their own teachings. Jacob V. Amalong, one of the jurors, was assaulted on the streets of Bellevernon, and most ter rifically beaten. Skxatok Nelson, of Wayne county, on Wednesday last, in troduced a bill in the Senate to prohibit the cremating of hu man bodies after death, on the tround that the practice is contrary to the Christian civilization of the age. The Senator will find a good many people who do not entertain his views. The ruirior comes from Washing ton that the Republicans are trying to icrsuade Senater Sherman to ac cept the nomination for Gov. of O. this year. They insist that if he can carry thai, State for Governor, it will make him the most prominent can didate in the fteld for the Republi can Presidential nomination in 1834. SrvATOR Stewart, late Iadepend-, ent candidate for Governor, occupies i a queer position. He is a member of the committee organized to investi-l pate the charges against Delaney, and at the eame time lie is the pri vate eaunsel ef McClure, whe makes the charges, and advises hi m to withhold tb evidence, his commit tee was appoiaUd to Lear and re port upn. The Philadelphia papers report that the Reading Railroad Las com pleted a lease of the Central Road of New Jersey.

The outrage is laid to the door of the Irish Fenians in revenge for the trial of the Pbrenix Park murderers. There is much popular discontent in Great Britain, and the Irish are doing all they canto worry and intimidate the government, but all these reports are mainly founded on suspicion, and must be received with due Allowance for the excited state of public feeling. The public is being treated to a large amount of bluster from Demo cratic free trade members of Con gress, about their intention to fur ther reduce the tariff next session. Very welL They will find the Re publicans ready to meet that issue when the time comes, and if they don't need certificates after the Pres idential election in 1S84, to prove that they had a candidate in the field, then we mistake the public sentiment of the country. This wretched Dukes' affair af fords another peteut reason for pro test against connecting this Co. with Fayette in a Congressional district All good people will involuntarily shudder at the idea of being con nected with, and probably controll ed, by a community that could rear, elect to office, empannel a par tisan jury, and acquit a brute like Dukes. The trood citizens of that u county, are to be pitied, but tney cannot blame others for resisting a legal alliance with a people appar ently controlled by the worst ele ments of society. The McXamara apportionment bill, dressed up, pruned down, and so generally overhauled, that the "parient" can scarcely recognize his offspring, was reported favorably to the House on Friday last lie Dem ocratic sponsors claim that the bill fives twenty-seven Senate districts to the Republicans, and twenty-three to the Democrats and one hundred and twelve Representative districts to the Republicans, and ninety-two to the Democrats, just about one- half the majority the Republicans now have on joint ballot The bill as reported leaves our present Sena torial district as it is Somerset, Bedford and Fulton. So far as it can well be done, the present certain Re publican districts are broken up. It is not at all likely that the bill can become a law in its present Bhape. The Philadelphia Times advises the House to take the initiative in declaring Dukes disqualified to serve as a member on the ground that, although he v not a convicted murderer, he is self-branded as such a social leper, that his admission to the House would be a stain upon the Commonwealth. It further adds that the House sustains the same re lation to Mr. Dukes that it sustained by the Uniontown Bar, and his as sociates of the legal profession have given high and just example to the House by petition to the Court, al most as with one voice, for Lid dia missal from the profession he Las dishonored. The reasons presented are that he Las "been guilty of a se ries of acts unbecoming a citizen and a member of the bar ; infamous in their character; disgraceful to him as a man ; subversive of the laws of the State and the good order and well being of society ; unfitting him for association with fair and honor able men of the profession ; disqual ifying him from receiving the confi dence of men of integrity and bring ing reproach upon himself and up on the profession to which he be longs." To say that the whole country is amazed, indignant and outraged at the acquittal of Dukes, is putting it very mildlv. Never before Lave we known public sentiment so univer sal, so unanimous, so shocked and appalled at a miscarriage of justice. The crime ol murder was never more clearly proved, cor the evi dence more conclusive and irresist able than in this case. i here was not, nor could there be any doubt as to the guilt of 'the wretch. That he killed Captain Nutt was undisputed, and that the circumstances under which the deed was done, clearly made it murder, : is undeniable. Three witnesses the only persons present at the tim swore positive ly that Nutt was more than ten feet from his murderer, renting with one arm on the mantle, the other hang ing by his side, when he was shot The testimony of these witnesses was undisputed, undenied, unchal lenged, and under these conditions aud circumstances, the killing was murder, mi the jury that refused to so return their verdict, perjured themselves. It is not necessary that the horrible, bestial letter! which the utwxderer wrote his victim, nhould be talu jnto consideration. They show Dukes io be a villain and beast, but they do azl necessarily go t,t the point at issue. He 9 tried lit murder, and his guilt was prov en beyond all reasonable doubt He should iuwje been found guilty, and he owes Lis eseace to the violation of their oaths by tiiC Jurors who were sworn to give ft true vefdjet ac cording to the evidence.

"Commonwealth against Nicholas Lyman Dukes. Is the counsel on the part of the prosecution ready ?" were the words with which Judge Wilson opened court this morning, "Ready," responded Mr. Playford. The defense were also ready and the work of empaneling a jury began. THE JCRY COMPLETED. It was 1 o'clock when the jury was complete as follows: Alexander Jordan, laborer, Franklin township ; Henry Mclntyre, miner, George township; Elmer Cagey, farmer, Springhill township ; Hiram Bo6ley, miner, Dunbar township ; Thomas Bamberrv, miner, Upper Tyrone township; William 1. Clawson, wagonmaker, Menallen township; George Washington Breakiron, farmer, Uullskin to wnsnip ; Jacob Liston, . farmer, Dunbar township; Lawrence Knotts, distiller, Luzerne township; Jacob W. Amalong, gent, Bellevernon liorouzn ; feamuel V. Cramer, blacksmith, Saltlick town ship. Of this jury three were on tne ju ry that found Low guilty of murder in the second degree. They are all manned men, and only four of them are church members. When the work was done, and opinion had time to settle down, it was evident tnat tne suspicion crea ted in the early part of the proceed ings was well founded. Every one of the twelve are Democrats, and the defense adhered steadily to what seemed a settled purpose from the beginning, forevery republican was challenged off. If the challenge was made for cause and overruled by the Codrt, it was then made peremptory. his iact, together with the conduct of a prominent court house official, who is exhibiting on the street the ist of the jurors and drawing atten tion to their political complexion, is causing much sharp comment to- ht among men of both parties. lepublicans generally disqualified themselves by acknowledging that they formed opinions by reading the evidence at the hearings, and this ssifited the purpose of the defense. uror Amalong is an ex-deputy sheriff of the county and an aspiring democratic politician. Uxioxtowx, March 12. Thestorv of the killing of Captain A. C. Nutt by N. L. Dukes was told and retold and gone over the third time in court to-dav by three of the four men now living who saw the shot fired the Sunday before last Christ mas. The accused sat the chief fig ure at the counsel table of the de fense. Only once, when the widow of Captain Nutt swept his polished shoes with her black skirts as she passed to her seat near the counsel for the Commonwealth, did he show any feeling. A flush crept up over his heavv cheeks and dyed his lace to the roots of his hair. THE STOUY OF THE CRIME. Breckenridge, the nephew of the murdered man, began the 6tory with the coming of Captain Nutt to his room on Sunday morning, the 24th of December. They went to the bank of which the witness is cashier, and Captain Nutt added a deposit of $62-5 to his wife's account At his request Breckenridge walked across the street to the Jennings House, where Dukes boarded, and went up to see if he was in his roam, Captain Nutt saying he wished to have an in terview. When he knocked at Dukes' door Duke3 opened it and said to Captain Nutt, who had followed his enger and was at this time at his elbow, uorne in; come in. Nutt went in, the door was closed and Breckenridge remained stand ing outside. James Feathers, who roomed directly across the hall from Dukes, came up and etood talking to Breckenridge for a few moments. there was . A SQUSP OF SCUFFLING inside, a smothered cry of "murder," then the voice of Captain Nutt call ing, "Clark," ."Clark," his nephew's middle name. Kreckenndge and fathers rushed in and found the men grappling witn eacn oiner, Dukes having the advantage. Breck enridge and Feathers separated them, Breckenridge pulling his uncle back to the mantle, reatbera pushing Dutes aver to the window near the other end of the room. Captain Nutt was leaning with Lis right arm on the mantel, his left hung by liis side. He was exhausted and pulling with the struggle. lake hold ot him," he cried out. Just then the witness heard a pistol shot from be hind, and as he turned to look at Dukes, Captain Nutt threw up his right hand, reeled forward and sank down on his face, Iclutching at Lis overcoat pocket with his right hand as he felL As he lay on the Hoor Breckenridge found his right hand gripping a revolver partly drawn Irom nu pocket W ben asked it ne was hurt he turned his face half around, as if to show the wound at his left ere where the ball had en- tved. He never spoke. ' He was laid Q Dukej bed and died in less than half an Lour,' James J. Feathers corroberated the evidence of Breckenridge as to the noise from the room and the scene when they entered. After he fna lireckennage separates uutea and .Curtain is utt ne asked Dukes wha,t ;fyU SiPt Dukes replied : "He came here to whip me." Feath ers attempted to soothe Lip, saying, ."Well. well, hecan't whin vou now." Duke repeated his remark, fumbling at Lis ip potest drew out his re yolve, . AIJtfEX rr AT JSCTT, and exclaiming, "111 b,oot youl1? fired. He corroborated Brecken ridg u to the position- of Captain Nutt when the shot was fired, and said that Captain Kctt threw both hands tip to his face when be wn0 shot His hands were empty then. The widow of Captain -Nutt- war wiled to the stand. She did not raciae the heavy crape veil from her face, but testified in a low voice to her laie Lusband'a Labit of carrying a revolver and cane. Vm. Picard closed tLe evidence for the day. He clerks in a hard ware store in this place, and describ ed how Dukes came to the store on the 221 day o December and purch ased the revolver with which he Bhot Captain Nutt two days later. Dukes looked at a number of pistols and finally selected a Smith & Wesson, self-cocker, calibre 32, saying that he WANTED IT TO EE SURE. Some other customers " came in while Dukes was looking at the pis- stols. and he stepped back, to the rear part of the store, with the re mark that he didn't want everybody to know his business there. WHAT CAUSES TALK. The partisan complexion of the jury, all the members being Demo crats, is the talk of tne streets to night Much adverse comment has been provoked by a remark which the son of Clerk of Courts Searight is credited with Making, to the effect that they had the court and the Judge, who is a Democrat, and the jury, and Dukes would come out all right ioxTOWN, Marcn 16. Mrs. Nutt was the first witness called to the stand this morning. She iden tified two letters from Dukes to her Lusband. The first letter her Lus band Lad Landed to her when he came home from Harrisburg the first time. The second letter he had given her the night betore he was killed. She had read the first letter. "Didn't you read the second one?" asked Mr. Playford. "No ; I tried to, but " Her voice faltered and counsel for de fense objected to her proceeding. Clark Breckenridge, who had got the letters lrom Mrs. Nutt and given tbem to the counsel for the Common wealth, also identified the letters, and M. H. Bowman, cashier of the bank, identified the signatures. Mr. Playford then offered the letters in evidence, "to prove animus and mo tives of Dukes, his position with re- spect.to the Nutt family and to ex plain how Captain Nutt came to be in Dukes room." THE LETTERS READ. He was very impressive in his manner of making the offer, and Mr. Boyle murmured across from the other table : "That's very dramatic, out what is it to prove in this case?" Mr. Playford argued that these letters contained the very subject matter of the quarrel Mr. Boyle argued that the letters did not con tain a single point of interest, indi cated no desire to injure Captain Nutt or his family, and its only ef fect could be to prejudice the jury unjustly against the prisoner. . The Curt decided the letters to be competent testimony. The widow and "sister of Captain Nutt withdrew from the court room. There was a momentary rustle as the crowd wriggled itself into a listening atti tude. Dukes dropped his head upon his band, and Attorney Playford read the two letters to the jury. No one in the court room seemed to moye a muscle while the strong voice of the lawyer brought out the full indecency of the letters. When he sat down there was a leaning of heads together and whispering and looks of contempt and loathing at the writer. , THE LETTERS IN THE CASE. The first letter was written by Dukes on December 4, but not mail ed until the 11th. It was very long and told how he Lad met Miss Liz zie at a festival, was charmed with her innocence and simplicity and visited her in company with a friend. He told Low, about a year ago, on this visit Le had taken Ler hand to examine a burn on her wrist and was surprised because she al lowed it to remain in his grasp. His vanity was flattered and when he went away he attempted to kiss her and she allowed Lis caress. Shortly after this visit he went again and surprised Miss Lizzie Bit ting in the lap of a young man, A. C. Hagan. He went away without making his presence known and on the next visit he made certain pro posals to which she readily yielded. Dukes, in defense of himself, pleads in this letter that he was but human and declares that Captain Nutt in his position would have done the same. After this he began to hear rumors regarding the young girl's morals upon the street He heard that Nat Frey had boasted of certain privileges which he had en joyed. Determined to see for him self, Dukes .tells how ne lollowed Frey and Lizzie home from an en tertainment one evening and watch ed their conduct at the door. . He charges that Frey took liberties to which no modest girl would submit After this he accused Lizzie with unconfined lavors to himself, and she confessed that she had been led astray by Jesse . Bogardus. Dukes also mentions the name of H. P. Kennedy as one of Miss Nutt'a fa vorites. : - ' Dukes goes on with these allega tions at great length, and then plain ly tells Captain Nutt . that he has reason to tear that his daughter is in a delicate condition end suggests that he can save his family from shame and dgrace if he cares to. CPTA1S SCTTS BEPLY. ' Captain Nutt dated Lis letter in reply to tbif at Uarrjsbuig, Decem ber 17. At the top he wrote : "Bead this in private, if it suits you to do 60." Theletter reads : , , . "Den Sib 1 have yoort of the 4th, mailed to me Uth Instant.

"Very . aai terpeet folly, The four young men Bogardu", Kennedy, Haean and Frey, impli cated in the above letters, have since made affidavits, denying the truth fulness of Dukes' statements and brand him as a liar. The defense produced very little evidence, except testimony to the defendant's previous good character. THE VERDICT. Unioxtowx, March 14. It would not be possible to describe the indig nation that reigns in Uniontown -at this - moment Nicholas Lyman Dukes, member-elact of the State Leeislature, has iust Veen declared by twelve jurors to be NOT GUILTY of the murder of which pub ic sentiment Las ' convicted Lim. The jury retired at 4:30 o.clock in the afternoon, after hear ing from the Court such a charge as seemed to render acquittal impossi ble. They were out about three hours and a half. . At nearly 8 o'clock Judge Willeon was seen passing nurneaiy aiong the street in the direction of the court house accompanied by a tip stave. He was soon followed by an excited crowd, which, when the bell rang, was swelled almost to a great rabble. When silence was partially restored, the jury filed in and the frivolous expression on some of their faces betokened the mature of their verdict They marched into their seats. Dukes entered the room in company with his counsel, his step father and Sheriff Hoover. His face wore the same stolid look that has marked bis conduct throughout the trial. He arose, faced the jury, and to the question of the clerk, Foreman Mclntyre answered, "JNot guilty." SHOCKED AT THE VERDICT. The clerk had made a little error ... . , . . - i-i in putting tne question, ana me foreman, seeming in haste to an nounce the verdict, uttered the word "not," before he noticed the mis take. He then paused till the clerk put the corrected question, and then uttered the words "K ot guilty." i ne crowd in the court-room were so shocked that silence ensued for a short time and then an effort was made to give some kind of expres sion to their feelings, but they were, with difficulty, restrained by the officers. Dukes sat down with great composure. "" Judge u lllson looked amazed at the announcement of the verdict He said : Gentlemen of the jury : I suppose the verdict that you hove . rendered is one that you thought you should render under your oaths, but it is one that gives dissatisfaction to the Court, because we thought the evi dence was sufficient to justify you in rendering a different verdict. If you have committed an error, it is one that we cannot a void, but can only express our condemnation of it in this mild way. Tbe prisoner is discharged. ' After the Judges speech, and when the crowd had scattered to the street, the indignation grew terrific, and an excited mob at once started toward the Court House, where Dukes was in charge of the Sheriff, carrying a stuffed effigy of the late prisoner. They also bore the inry in effigy, and violence was for a time expect ed. Dukes remained under guard of Sheriff Hoover while the crowd next proceeded to the; McClelland Houe, a tew doors prQm the scene of the inurder. Here they Joined in singing "Hang Dukes' body on a sour apple tree. it seemed as though everyone in the town was on the street, and no one knew what an hour would bring forth.' It is said a motion will be made in Court in the morning to expel Dukes from the bar of Fayette Coun ty. Miss Nutt was' visited by a re porter this evening and it was found that her grief was bearing heavily upon her. The charges made by Dukes as to her condition are utter ly false. The fact makes the charges all the more infamous. ' CJTJ?ES &TW, . .. Unjostows. March 14. 2;3Q n. m.

Many were unable to gain, admission. Captain John Bierer was called to preside. He SDoke for about ten minutes. ' He reviewed the character ,of Captain Nutt in his relations to society and his family. He dwelt upon the deep damnation of his taking off, and when he came to speak of the jurors who acquitted Lis assassin, no words were too strong in which to frame bis powerful condemnation of their acts. Y hen Le affirmed Lis abimng belief in the absolute purity of the young girl whom Dukes had so vital ly traduced his audience burst into a storm of applause, which clearly indicated how fully his sentiments were recei ved. A special train from Conaellsville had brought large del egations from that place, Dunbax and intermediate pointa on the Southwest railwav. While Mr. Bierer was speaking and the enthu siasm of the meeting was rising to a high pitch, C. H. Beall, of this place, capped the climax bv rising to his feet and declaring, ''I was born in Maryland and am damned glad of it I doift belong to rayette coun tv." MESSAGE'S OF SYMPATHY. O. J. Sturjia read a number of telezranis that nad been sent to the meeting. Ex-Attorney General Pal mer telegraphed as follows from Wilkesbarre : "'The universal senti ment here is that Dukes' acquittal irretrievably disgraces Fayette coun ty and humiliates every I'ennsylva nian. The following sentiment came from Coafiuence : "Hang the murderer and penitentiary the ju rors. Bellvernon rhook hands with Hon. W. H. Playford in these words : "Can't tw presettt, but indignation great You did nobly." The moun tain town Ursin;i sent greeting this style : "Feeling a gainst Dukes uni versal. No sympathy for him here." These telegrams were applauded again and again, particularly the one from Confluence. It struck a responsive chord in the breast of every one present C. II. Livingston, a merchant, followed in a five min ute speech. He said that his opin ion and the opinion of every other honest man was that notwithstand ing the verdict Dukes richly merited a halter about his necK, ana tnat when he faifed to get it he failed, of justice, lhe verdict was a mockery of justice, a scandaious shame and a withering disgrace to b avette county. Nathaniel Ewing a member of the bar said he had often ieit ia private his inability to adequately expre?s his feelings, and oa this pubho occasion he doubly lamented his weakness in this regard to do justice to them. He had never felt before as he did now ; had never ieit now inaaequato the court .i are to the administration of justice, as since, the infamous ver dict that had set free a red-handed murderer among an honest and law lovinjr people, notwithstanding the verdictof twelve base rrien. The time has come when the courts cannot be relied upon to see that justice is done. Then we must resort to other mea sures and take the law in our own hand. At this juncture the audi ence vociferously demanded a speech from Eev. Kerr, and to their request Le readily assented. He said that words would fail to express the in tensity of his feeling over the out rageous act of twelve men who had pretended to do their sworn duty. Well may parents tremble for their daughters when twelve men enn be .found who are so base, so lost to all sense of manhood, decency and hon or as to render directly contrary to all the evidence, the verdict which acquited Lyman Dukes of the mur der of Captain Nutt and of the re sponsibility for the terrible blot which he had attempted to put upon the fair name of his dear family. May the names of these jurors go down to posterity as the black list of Fayette county, to be remembered j only with feelings ot shame and inex pressible disgust, to be remembered throughout the State as those who had committed the monumental act of infamy ; and as for Nicholas Lyman Dukes, may he go forth to learn, as Cain did, what it is to bear upon Lis brow the brand of a mur derer. May he learn that there Is a punishment which no bribery can avert and no treachery turn aside. Let him go forth to learn that when he shall stand in the presence of purity and innocence his conscience shall iting him and accuse him of the lowest forms of licentiousness and debauchery, . Let him learn that the curse of men shall follow . hitn whithersover hia footsteps may go. Let him learn that the hand that penned such letters as he wrote to Captain Nutt is the hand of cmTard ly ussaasin, the hand of a man un worthy a place among honest and upright people.. Let him learn that all in all he is a man who, would shaine the most abandoned inhabi tant of the infernal regions. The scene created by Re v. Kerr-'s address was. abolqtely indeaprible Again, and again, and again was it cheered and applauded. The furore waa so great that it shook the walls of the building." 'The impression which followed lie v. Kerr's speech was that nothing more remained to be said. So the meeting quietly dis solved, leeliiig that at least some thing Lad been done toward retriev ing the fair name of Fayette county. After passing resolutions condemn ing the favored murderer and the perjured jury the meeting adjourned. Duke WIU Not Get Hia Seat Hakrisbckg, March 15. Resolu tions for the expulsion of Dukes, if hp should, dare tq coma and qualify aa 4 member of the House, are al ready in the pockets of several Rep resentatives, including Nicholson, Democrat, and Colborn, Republican. Speaker Faunce declares that should occasion require it he will leave the chair and take the floor to protest against Dukes.

Th.9 Galleries of ths Hsnss of Cocunoss -- Shaksa hj a Sxispossd Eis cltaxgaof Dynanits- London, March 15. A terrific ex plosion occurred in the Local Gov ernment - Board Office, in West minster, at 'J o'cleck to-night, de stroying much property. The report was heard in the House ot Commons and caused alarm. The concussion was great that it shook the side gal leries and the reporters gallery. It being the dinner hour few members of the House were present in the hall. The Duke of Edinburgh was in the Peer's gallery and seemed alarmed. The Speaker forthwith rang his bell, and asked the cause of of the alarm. No one waa injured. The wildest rumors are afloat The report resembled the discharge of an eighty-ton gun. Later It is now believed that the explosion was caused .by dynamite, and that a deliberate attempt waa made to blow up the Government Offices. : ' -: : " " The explosion was heard at a dis tance of two or three miles. .Yesterday evening a canister con taining explosive material was found behind the Times office, with, it is rumored, a lighted fuse attached. The police are making an investiga tion. The officials think the explosion was caused by gunpowder or dyna mite. The officers of the gas Co. declare that they can find no evi dences that it was caused by gas. The force of the explosion shot large portions of the masonry acro3 the street - London, March 1C The explo sion was undoubtedly the work of Fenians. The adjacent streets are filled with myriads of fragments of glass, and heavy plate-glass is lying in heaps or. the ground. A stone weishinsc 200 pounds was projected against the King Street Police sta tion, making a hole the size of a man's head. Nothing will be allow ed to be touched until an inquiry ia made to-day. The full extent of the damage can not be estimated until daylight. Five hundred constables are guard ing the scene. The building has the appearance of having been bombard ed. There is a deep trench ten feet by three in dimensions in one room, the floor of which has been literally plowed. Two children who were sleeping in a house at the corner of King street were thrown from their beds by the force of the explosion, and their faces were badly cut. They were rescued and taken to the police station. Every pane of glass in the vicinity was shattered. , A 'REWAUD FOB THE DISCOVERY OF THE PERPETRATORS London, March 1G. All day there has been an enormous crowd gath 6red at the scene of last night's ex plosion in ' the Local G overnment Board Offices iu Westminister. A Government Inspector has made an examination of the portion of the building damaged by the explosion and places the loss at - 4,000. -The vessel which contained the explosive material was placed on the- outside of the Local Government Board Of fices. The Government has offered a reward of 1,000 for the discovery of the authors of the explosion. No arrests have yet been made. The police noticed nothing suspi cious about the building before the explosion occurred. In manv maps of London the Lo cal Government Office is marked as the Home Office. It is thought that the attempt to blow up the former was made with the idea that it was the latter, Sir William Harcourt, Home Secretary, being very obnox ious to the Fenians. The reward also applies to the at tempt on the Times office. Any one not the actual culprit giving infor mation as to the origin of the explo sion will be pardoned. The Flootld.

When Mrs. Elizabetli Smith of this city arose this morning she was surpris ed to find the doora which she had locked last night on retiring unlock ed and open. Whilo searching to ascertain whether a robbery had been committed, her sixteen-year-old daughter, Miss Mary Smith, came down the stairs crying that her hair had been cut off. It was only too true, and the long braid of rich and luxuriant black hair, which had been the young girl's especial pride and the admiration of all who saw the tresses, was severed from her head and taken away. There were four persons in the house, and all of them are easily awakened ; besides there was a watchvdog in the kitchen, yet not a sound disturbed the family during the night The thief had used chloroform to stupify both Mrs. Smith and her daughter, who occupied the same room, and Lad cut oil' the locks close to the head, securing tresses over a yard long. How he managed to quiet the dog i3 a mystery. Suspi cion rests on a stranger who endeav ored to sell Miss Smith a ring on the street and who watched Ler closely. Punishing the Iuke Jurors. Connellsville, March 16. Jacob W. Amalong, one of the jurors who tried Dukes, was met on the streets of Belle Vernon this evening, and assaulted so that his life is despaired of. No telegraphic communication can be had with Belle Vernon, and hence the exact particulars cannot be learned, but enough is known to say that the people express their in dignation ana disgust at the verdict rendered. It is rejiorted that Thos. Bamberry, of Lower Tyrone town ship, was discharged from the Ever son, McCrum it (Jo's., works for the same offense. Duke Will Claim His Seat. Uxioxtowx, March 16.
