Ueeee to Shenandoah City OUTRAGE ! fAttack Made In a Thickly Populated Part of Town. NO PERSONAL INJURY SUSTAINED. The Shock of the Explosion Was Tre mendous and Feople Ran From Their Houses Screaming With Terror. It Wis a Dastardly Mid night Act. Residents of North White street and vi cinity wore startled at about 10:80 o'clock Saturday night by a terrlfflo report and 8uock accompanying an explosion of dyna mite and residents of tho houses close do tho place where tho explosion occurred ran out upon tbo street trying with terror. Tho ex plosion was caused by some malicious person who has not been traced up to the present time, but fortunately no one suffered per sonal Injury and the property aimed at was only slightly damaged. Tho property is at 117 North White street and until last week was occupied by John Ruskofsky, as lessee of the Columbia Brew ing Company. It is a small two-story prop erty located noxt to the Robbins factory buildings. It has been tho cause of much dispute and several law suite lately. Last week the Columbia Browing Company caused a sale of Iluskofski's household effects under a landlord's warrant for non-payment of rent. Whilo Constable JIatt. Qiblon was malting tbo sale ho was asHaultcd by Ruskof ski and his wife and the pair were put under ball for trial at court. On Friday Ruskofskl was put under ball for stealing a beer pump from the premlsos, and also dtstroyinf three colls of Lad pipe. Tho dwelling and saloon bavo boen vacant since tho constable sale. Some people beliovo tho dynamite was intended for the head quarters of the Volunteers of America, which are located In the factory building, but very few are of that notion. A narrow alloy is between tbo factory building and tho vacant saloon, but the oxplodiug dynamite was placed close to tho foundation of tho saloon building. Tho shock occasioned by tho explosion was terrific and it is surprising that more dam age was not dono. In tho factory building tuo entire sash was blown out of a- window facing on tho alley. Tho long illght of steps leading down into tho alley from tho street was shattered. In the vacant dwelling and saloon ten window panes were blown out as clean as n glazier could have removed them aud the glass In tho saloon door was als shattered. No fire followed the explosion, A child 111 a cradle of tho buscment of tho factory building was thrown luto convulsions !by the shock and for a time it was feared tho result would be fatal. No pains will be spared '- efforts to locate the perpetrators of this outrage and tho full penalty of tho law will be dealt out to them.

Jolinson.the Lost Creek druggist, lias received a bunco bait that he does not seam disposed to swallow. On Saturday he received a letter purporting to come from Spain. The writer stele tbat he was a de faulting paymaster in the Spanish army and fled to the United State. While iu the latter country he become a prospector and located a tecret gold mine. Rejoiced over hla discovery ho forgot the danger of a re turn to Ms native country and decided to re turn thereto visit his daughter. lie did so and upon the return was arrested. The writer says ha is unw a prisoner Infa Spanish fortress with poor hopes of ever regaining bis liberty. Ills sole aim lu life now is to place his daugh ter iu poseesstou of the secret gold mine. A friend who at one time met Mr. Johnson, the writer saya, recommended the druggist as a man of strict Integrity and honesty and the prisoner now asks tbat Mr. Johnson consent toast as guardian for the daughter. The first step to be taken is that Mr. Johnson shall go to New York and claim a trunk the prisoner left there. Iu the trunk ho will find papers showing the location of the gold mine and the prisoner's title to It. The trunk can bo easily secured upon payment of a few hundred dollars to the parties who held it as security for a loan made to the writer of the letter before his departure for Spain. Mr. Johnson has not replied to the touching appeal, and does not intend to. He says that, being a bachelor, the eare of a child might become quite embarrassing, if not irksome to him.

THE CAPITAL CITY TRANQUIL I The Organisation of Me Beats at the Extra Session Robbed the Opening of the Excitement Usually Attending the Beginning of a Regu lar Session. Washington, Dec. g. The regular or long sosB'ton of congress, as It la called, because there Is no constitutional lim itation upon-the period of Its duration, opened at noon today, President Mo Klnley having made the Journey from the bedside of his dying mother that his absence might not delay the na tional legislature at Its assembling. The extra session robs the opening of the regular session of the excitement and interest which usually attaches to It. On the eve of a regular session ordinarily Washington thrills with ex citement. The hotel lobbies surge with place hunters In the wake of the vari ous candidates for speaker, clerk, door keeper, etc., the members are strug gling for committee consignments, and the air is full of rumors of riots and counter plots. Hut as the house was completely organised at the extra ses sion, .and all the committee assignments wore made then, beyond the natural stimulus produced by tho returning statesmen, the regular hangers on of legislation and the outlining of schemes by members of the "third house," or lobby, Washington is tranquil. The program at the house Is very simple, and beyond the spectacular show which It offers to the curious has In Itself little attraction. The house was railed to order by tBe speaker, who, after the chaplain's invocation, directed the clerk to call the roll. This having been accomplished and the presence of a quorum demonstrated, the clerk was directed to notify the senate that the house was ready for business, and a committee was ap pointed to wait on the president. After this there was a recess to await the arrival ot the president's annual mes sage, which was read upon its recep tion, and followed by an adjournment until tomorrow. It Is the Intention of the house lead ers to proceed with the business of th-? session as rapidly as possible. The committees will all begin their labors this week, and as all of them have more or less bills on hand which were Intro duced at the extra session there will be no lack of material for the house to work on after the committee hoppers have begun to grind. The appropria tions committee has been at work for ten days, and Chairman Cannon ex pects to pass at least two ot the regu lar budgets before the holidays the legislative, executive and judicial and the pension appropriation bills. One or the other of these bills, it is expected. will be reported by Wednesday, and the end of the week Dromlses to see the house down to business. Among the early general measures to receive consideration will be the bankruptcy bill. Whether it will be the Nelson bill, which passed the sen ate at the last session, or a modifica tion of the xorrey bill, depends on the temper ot the Judiciary committee, which will submit the measure to the house. Beyond doubt there will be several resolutions of inquiry during the first week which may be more or less sensational, and some of the radi cal pro-Cuba members will attempt to get consideration for a Cuban resolu tion before the foreign affairs commit tee can act. Congressman Livingston, of Georgia, is one of these. Dut owing to the nature of .the house rules all these hasty efforts will prove abortive. and they probably will take their regu lar course. There is nothing to prevent the sen ate's entering promptly upon Its work, as there is a calendar ready made for It, with about 300 bills reported from committees during the special session. It remains for the senate to decide whether It shall enter seriously upon the work of the session after today or begin a svstem of delay intended to throw all Important questions over be yond the Christmas holidays. The indications are now for a little more activity than usual during the pre-hollday session. This is largely due to the fact that the supporters of the administration and other advo cates of annexation are very anxious to secure the earliest possible consid eration of the treaty with Hawaii. Senator Davis, chairman of the com mittee on foreign relations, announces his purpose of pressing annexation at the earliest possible moment. One point which the committee will be called upon to decide Is whether to proceed to ratify the treaty of an nexation or to annex the islands by resolution. The annexationists have lost some votes during the vacation. ana mere is now apprehension that the two-thirds vote necessary to as sure the ratification cannot be secured. No satisfactory canvass is possible un til all the senators arrive, and If It Is than made manifest that the necessary iwo-miraa vote cannot be secured, It Is likely that the proceeding by means of resolution, which would require only a majority vote, win be Inaugurated. The immigration bin, for whloh Sen ator Lodge stands sponsor. Is practi cally at the head of the senate leg islative calendar and will be considered early In the session. Senator Lodge today repeated bis Intention of pressing the bill, but he will not antagonise the Hawaiian treaty with It. The first bill on the calendar is Sen ator Gear's measure providing for the adjustment of the Pacific railroad debt. but tbe sale of the Union Pacific doubt less will have the effect of causing the temporary withdrawal of this bill and the substitution of others. Of tbe 800 bills on tbe calendar about 20 are private pension lillls, and alt ot theBO probably will be disposed of at one sitting when taken up. There are also several hundred recess appoint ments to be considered la executive session. It Is not pmbable that much will be done In the way of legislation duiuiK tfte present ween, i nf-re irf no dispo sition to prone tht- Hawaiian matter until the foreign relations committee agrees upon a line of action, and the Indications now are that it will not be taken up In the senate before next week. Oovernor Grimm AooepttS Washington. Pec. . It was ofilotally announced at the White House yester day, upon the return ot the president to Washington, that Governor John W. Griggs, of New Jersey, has been ten dered and has accepted the office of attorney general of the United Btaea, which will he vacated by the nomina tion of Attorney General McKenna to be associate Justice of the United States supreme court. It has not yet been set tled when Governor Griggs shall as sume his new office, but It Is probable that the date will be about the begin ning of the new year. Dynamite For a Deputy.
