An attempt was made late Sunday night to blow up with dynamite the sa loon and store of Peter Daga, at Exeter, this county. The porch was entirely demolished, the front of the building badly damaged and every pane of glass on the four sides of the building destroy ed. The building is owned by Peter Brown, who has had it licensed for a hotel for several years. It appears that there is considerable rivalry every year among certain Polanders of Exeter as to which of them will be successful in rent ing tho place. The rivalry this year amounted to bit terness, and when it became known that. Mr. Brown had decided to lease the place to Daga, some of the disappointed vowed vengeance against the latter. Daga has a family of nino children and Sunday night they, with their father and mother, were enjoying the evening in the rear room down stairs when they were suddenly thrown into a state of terror by the violent explosion, which shook the house to Its foundation. The Daga family rushed out, crying for help, every moment expecting some thing else to happen t hat would result in their death. An Investigation revealed that dyna mite had been exploded by means of a battery, located some distance away, though the battery has not been found The wrecked building is located in a thickly settled community, but none of the adjacent structures are damaged aside from a few broken windows. No arrests have yet been made, though a rigid investigation will be made in the j hope of iixing tho crime on the guilty persons. Flame* iu a Mine. A dangerous mine lire broke out in the Miln'esville slope Monday morning, which is owned by A. S. VanWickle. The flames were discovered in the oil house at the foot of the opening and iu same apartment was stored a consider able quantity of dynamite and exploding caps. In addition to fighting fire under ground the men were obliged to look out for the explosion. While tho score of fire-lighters stood in the gangway the explosion came, and with such force as to hurl tho men about the chamber. Another corps of men on tho surface were knocked off their feet by the con cussion. The men were thus relieved of one of the worst dangers and after two hours' work of the hardest kind they succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The coal had not become ignited and the damage was couiparately small, llow the lire started is a mystery, as there was no one in that part of the mine at the time. t New Ilaud OrguDl/ed. The Mayberry band, which disbanded a short time, w as reorganized on Sunday afternoon by the members under the name of the Citizens' band of Freeland.
