McKeesport (Pa.) special: Dynamite was placed on the track of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Longrun bridge, and a serious wreck was narrowly averted. The stick of dynamite was tied to the rail. The Bissell accommodation encountered it. The explosion damaged the track and tore 08 one of the front wheels of the locomotive. The passengers were badly frightened and somewhat shaken up, but no one was seriously injured. No motive can be assigned for the deed. It is believed, however, that the explosive was placed on the track to wreck the eastern express train due at Longrun at the same time as the accommodation train, but the explosive being placed on the wrong track, the express train escaped an almost certain plunge over the high bridge.

Will. MARRY DOUGLAS. KeDJe Grant-Ssrtnrls to Wed Gen. H. Kytl Douglas, of Baltimore. Gossip is ouce more busy with the name ot Mrs. Nellie Grant-SartorU, nnd tills time the association of hor namo lu a contemplated matrimonial way, with that of General H. Kyd Douglas of Baltimore, Is more vigorous and prououncoil tbun ever. Washington society, under the lead of two or three knowing ones, accept the rumors as true and about to be verified, and thorc Is no longer any attempt to deny or roject the probabilities. The quidnuncs have little to go upon, to bo sure, for all parties closely Identified with the prospective affair are reticent. Somo months ago when the rumor was 6rst circulated certain friends of tUo Grant family hastened to express tholr ro'ret that such a story was afloat and thoir total disbelief In Its truth. Those who spoak from tho card declare that the lady Is enormously smitten wltb tho Baltlmoroan, and that she will listen to no adv-lco. She Is perfectly willing to glvo up hor allowance of 35.000 a year from bor late father-in-law's estate, which sho will bavo to sacrifice If she remarries, but as she and hor children are already rich without that she, perhaps, will not feol the loss so much, GET RICH BOOTY. Bobbers Make a Haul of Gold from an Overland Train. 1 he east-bound ovcrln.nd train w as hold up by two men about six miles belov, Sacramento, Cal., late Thursday night.

Messenger Pugo fired twice at the bandits, and came near losing his life from a shot fired In return. The engineer and fireman called upon Page to open the door, as tbo robbers were going to shoot thorn if ho did not, and also were preparing tJ blow up the car with dynamtte. Page complied with the request and the robbers looted the car of four bags of gold, tho valuo of which is not known. They then cut the engine loose, boarded it, and ran it toward the city three-quarters of a mllo. The bandits then got oft, and the engine was reversed and sont on a wild run toward the train, but before It reached Its destination the steam had run so low that the collision caused but little damage. Ihe robbers made good their oscape.

DUN'S REPORT ON BUSINESS. Merchants Waiting for the Development of Retail Trade. B. G. Don & Co.' Weekly Review of Trade says: Business is still waiting for the development of retail trade, 1 here Is a little better demand In some Industries, but not so good In others. Wholesale dealers lu nearly all branches are halting, becauso business does not yet shoiv distinctly what It Is to be. Lower prices for the great farm staples and lower wages In some establishments hinder purchases for consumption, while pulltlcal Interest and uncertainty also have some retarding Influence. Meanwhile large Imports and small exports of merchandise, with inadequate employment for money here, raising the rates of foreign exchange on the possibilities ot gold exports, somewhat affect the stock market. The halting attitude is disturbing to those who have looked for continued gain, though rightly considered It is the natural consequence of conditions which were to be expected at this season. DRIVEN TO DESERTION:. Canadian Cadets at Kingston Seriously Maltreat a Comrade. A serious case of hazing at tho Boy al Military College at Kingston, Ont., has come to light. Cadet Plummer, of Toronto, whose father holds a high position in the Commercial Bank there, was held over a gas Jet until a larsn hole was burned through his clothing and his flesh badly scorched.

The robbers, seven in number, flagged the train and when the engine was stopped the crew were covered with revolvers and compelled to dismount. Tho express messengers were taken by surprise and were forced from the car which was uncoupled from the train, and run up the track about a mile. B. F Crutchfield and U. Murray, the messengers, were then forced to open the safe. The robbers secured their booty and then started the engine on toward Washington with no one on board, the frightened express messenger telegrahed to Alexandria and half a dozen empty cars were put on thi track, Into which the engine crashed, causing a complete wreck. At 1 o'clock Saturday morning officers were started from Richmond and Washington In pursuit of the thieves. The railway company has offered 1 1,000 reward for the arrest of any of the robbers.

Natural Gas Gives Out. The natural gas wells supplying the town of Oaroy, Ohio, havo failed completely, and the supply was abut off. This means the end of tho Ideal fuel In Carey, and many other places will follow suit before the close of the whiter. Natural gas in Northwestern Ohio is almost at an end.

up higher. " By this Is meant that some of tho membors of the comniitteo are tired of tbo Investigation of policemen and mluor criminals and that the police commissioners nnd loading politicians should be placed on the stand. This demand was expressed by uuutor I.oxow, who said that it was tlmo to go higher up. Senator O'Connor echoed his sentiments in still Btronger language. He said that enough testimony had boen produced against tho rank and file of tho police; that It was now the duty of tho commission to find out Just how far the higher officials of the forco had been derollct In duty. Mr. Goff. In reply, said that he was not quite roady to "go up higher," but that ho would soon be ready to call the Police Commissioners to the stand, RIFLES lOll THE ARMY. Springfield Armory Now Turning Out the New Magazine (inns. 1 ho work of equipping tho troops of the regular army with tho now magazine rifle is progressing as rapidly as the limited plant nf tho Springfield National Armory will permit The fabrication of tho complex and aecurate machinery necessary to make tho new weapon required much time, nnd, now tho plant is fu running order, the output Is about 5,000 arms per year. As fast, as the arm aro completod they are issued to tbo troops, and at this rate It will bo about a year before our army Is brought up to a moderr standard, being supplied with magazine guns. When this work Is accomplished the ordnance oilicors will turn their attention to tte militia. A sample weapon has boen sent to tho National Guard of each State so that the men my familarlze thcmselvos with It, but at the present rate of output It will be several years at least boforo they can be supplied. Hils fact has deeply lmpressod some distinguished military men in Washington, takon In connection with tho rather startling suggestions mado by Gen, Schofletd in his annual report .lust published touching tbo insufficiency of our army in the point of numerical strength and his comparison of the I'nitod States with China from a military standpoint.

An angry mob gathered about the jail after Dolby had been identified by his victim, and Sheriff Cook called to his assistance tho local militia company. This action in reased tho fury against Dolby, and Gov. McXinloy was appealed to for additional assistance, and troops from Columbus wore sent, Col. Coit in command. The mob surrounding the jail and court house i.ttompted to take I'olby from the oilicors when removed from tho jail to tho court house for trial, but wore kept at bay bv the freo use of bayonets and clubbed guna. When brought to the court house Dolby broke down. While bringing him from th? ail the mob charged and aim st succeeded in getting him.

The reception given by tha Irish National federation to Kdward liluke, M. i, at the Lenox Lyceum, in Sow York, was productive of some results never dreamed of by its originators. In the heart of the meeting, and while all eyes wore turned upon Mr. Blake as no stood upon the platform delivering one of his most impres.-ive si eeches a stoutly built, frowsily dressed man walked swiftly a ound the back of the front tier of boxes until he reached the last one nearest tho platform and to the left of the pr scemum arch. In his hand he carried an old. btilkr. green gingham umbrella, which ho ;eomed to hold with peculiar tenderness. Outside the box hi; stopped, hesitated a moment, and then enter- i ing, took a chair In a corner nearest ' tho stage. The old man left in a , minute It might have been a minute or two ; later when a sharp cry from the worn- . en in the box, resounding through the house, startled everyone from their seats and stopped the s. oaker. At the same moment there leapod out a gush of liamo and smoke, and then f ! lowed the shriek of "Fire" and the simultaneous movement of . 00 panic-stricken creatures to the door, but even as they turned Patrolman Lilley rushed into j tlio oox, violently danelng on something with his feot, while the voice of Mr. Blake rang through the big building calling on his audience to keep their seats. "The (ire's out. Come back," cried those on the platform when the name had gone and the smoke disappeared. As Lilley stooped to pick up tho burning frame he saw lying among the fragments of the umbrella a small, stout tube or bottle The tube was eight inches long and tw . in ci cumference, and capped wi h a covering of gelatin. The tube was filled wish a white liquid, which the police think is nitric acid. Attached to tho gelatin hud been a piece of fuse hajf burned away. MUST IMPORT WHEAT. European Crop 110.O0O.O00 Has hell Short Estimate liy Countries. The condition of the crops of Europe for 1S'.;4 is given in the forthcoming report of the tati tician of the Agricultural Dopartm nt for October.

Owing to unfavorable harve t weather, only a small part of the wheat in Great Britain is lit or milling purposes. Tho out crop is considered ex cellent, there Is aiiout 1,1,(1 (s bushels of last yoar's wheat cro;i in lirst hands. The amount nccos-ary to bo imported to meet all demands will be about 18!,7i'V,iiHI bushels, at about I!, 1 ili '.,(): i() bushels a week. Olllcial osti- ' mutes of tho crop just gathered in France show the quantity of wheat in eacoss of the average. Tho harvest uiakos France practically independent of outsido supplies, but some wheat will probably be imported. The whoat crop in noumania is the RmalleAt for five years, the rye crop falls below that of la-t year, "and the yield of barley and oats er aero is the lowest In live years. There was about half a crop 01 corn. In Cerm iny whoat shows a falling off in quantity and quality from last year nnd the potato crop is ory disappointing. Tho Austrian wheat crop Is expected to measure ',0,1 KXV " ' bushels. Barley and oals haveanaverago yield, but corn do's not promise so well. Italian grain is reported excellent in quality.

Farmers can not fail to be interested in an elaborate and able report just published by the Kans is State Board ot Agriculture on th? advantages and disadvanta.es of wheat as a foo l for farm animals. Tho conclusion reached is that, at tho present price of wheat, there is decided profit to be gained in feeding wheat instead of corn. In order to get at the truth in this late phase of the cheap-wheat problem, the Secretary of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture recently sent a carefully prepared list of questions to 1,01 W wheat growers, stock growers, feeders and dairymen, and aftqr editing the replies found himself in possession of -,0i ory useful contributions on tho subjeet. From the answers and estimates of these observant and practk al men he compiled the following interesting conclusions Of the 24,T,,5S bushels of winter and spring wheat ia sed in Kansas in lS!i:l there has been use I as feed for farm anima s 4,0ri(V 23 bushels, or lt'.4 per ce:iL When fed whole, esp cially t 1 hogs, :5 p."i- cent, of the wheat grains are swallowed unmasticatetl and go through the tmiinal uudige ted a shameful waste. Yet three-fourths of the men reporting, lopresenting fifty co nties. state that, p und for pound, whoat is superior to shelled corn for fattening hogs even with the ono-fourth waste. This superiority is est; mated va iously at from to :sfi per cent, tho average pla ing tho superiority of wheat over corn at hs per cent. As to how much live pork may bo expected as a fair return per bushel of wheat fed to hogs, tho average of all the answers is eleven pound-. It is also of interest to note that the ecst of raising a bushol of wheat in Kansas ranges from ;"( cents, whore an acre yields only ;0 bushels, down to 2ti cents where an acre yields ''.' bushels. The Secretary sums up his conclusions thus: Under existing conditions wheat has be omo a very unusual and important factor in the grain feeding of all classes of fai m stock. It is superior to corn in produ ing healthf 1, well-balanced growth in young animals, Mixed with corn, oats or bran, it is much superior to either alone for working horses. Fed to cows it is far and away al ead of corn as a milk producer. For swine it gives generous results, but is used at a disadvantage when fed whole, especially without soaking. For cattle tho clear w heat is rather too carbona -eous unless mixed with corn or oil-cake. AMATEUR OARSWOMAN. Miaa Haao lloaentheim Emily Defeats Miss Ashley at t Louis.

As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves ia the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed.
