The mine has been known to exist for several years, but it was not until very recently that tho prouuci oi it was recognizea as caroon. ana more recently still that the carbon was of sufficient purity for commercial uses. Graphite comes from this mine in large chunks as it is blasted, and is then easily subdued to a merchantable form.

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION. Unsuccessful Attempt to Blow Up the Salvation Army Itorracks wi! h a Jng of Powder. Residents in tho northern part of the city were startled by tho report of a deafening explosion about twenty minutes after 3 o'clock this morning. Those who were on tho street saw a ilame shoot up in tho vicinity of Illinois and New York streets, and a minute later the lire department were at the scene. Everybody supIosed the noise was caused by a naturalgas explosion, but an investigation showed that an attempt had been made to blow up the Salvation Army barracks, located in tho old schoolhouso on New York street, between Illinois and Tennessee. A jug of powder had been placed under a window, aud this had been exploded by means of a fuse. The concussion broke the windows m the building and in many of the houses in the vicinity, but beyond'this did little damage. There was sufficient powder in tho jug.as evidenced by noise and force displayed along the street, to have destroyed the school house, but the miscreants failed to place it where it would do the greatest damage. Everybody living withiu four or live squares was awakened, and many of the dwellings and buildings were shaken by

the explosion. SUNDAY BALL GAMES. "Result of Yesterday's Contents Between Clubs of the American Association.

Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. "Yes, they may regret their step," said Secretary Keefe,' of tho Base-ball Players' Rrotherhood, when speaking of Spalding's decision regarding tho brotherhood's re quest for a meeting. "I am sure some of the monyed men will wish they had conferred sooner. Spalding isn't doing right by us. Ho says ho don't think it would be well to call a meeting in the midst of tho playing season. Didn't they hold one at Asbury Park last summer, and just to consider a trivial matter. It was the New YorkPittsburg forfeited game, I believe. One thing is certain, they won't classify so mauy men this fall as thej' think. I'll venture. They talk about Presidcut Youna classifying the men. Why, the clubs send in their salaries and then Young puts them in their classes. No. J. can't say when we will move. "It is true' that Rowe intends to get his release by re maining idle one year. '1 he contract reads that the party of the second part agrees to be reserved the following year. An eminent New York lawyer, not Rlackhurst, examined the contract at our reqhest. and says this means one year and not years, and a man who lays oil a year is free, for he does not agree to give that reservation privilege for the next season." 31 or rill and Ilealy Released. John Morrill aud John Healy have been released by the Washington club. The lat ter was notified of his releaso as he re turned from the Chicago Ball Park Saturday. This action, the Chicago Tribune says, was based upon , tho result of Saturdav's came. With even decent support.that paper further says, Healy would have pitched a winning game. His release comes unconditionally, and "the Egyptian" is already considering three good otters for his services, not all of them within the National L.ca sue. "I am heartlv clad rav re lease has come," said he, "for 1 am tired of pitching ball for a team which is absolute ly without heart in its work. 1 may go back to Washington and stay there during the stipulated ten days or may go home to Cairo, HI. 1 can't say which, les, 1 think I shall bo pitching again within two weeks, but I can't say wuere." Healy is a hard working, reliable player, who would pitch good ball in a team that would properly support him. Hall players with feAv exceptions speak well of his ability. Nonsense from "Washington. Tho continued defeats of the Washington club are responsible for a good deal of non sense from base-ball writers in that city. Tho Sporting Life's correspondent is par ticularly foolish, in circulating that there is a posibility of Mr. Hewitt purchasing some of the star players of the Indianapolis team. He writes as if the managers of the latter team will hnd their Eastern trip so expensive aud defeats so many that they will be glad to unload some of their nlavers. Tho absurdity of such writimr is shown in another paragraph of the same letter, where the writer says there is talk of Mr. Hewitt having reached some kind of an understanding with Von der Abe as to the purchase of the St. Louis players at tho close of the season. Jlase-liall Notes. The Indianapolis Juniors yesterday won a game from tho feuutlowers, the score be inglOtolO. Mr. Hewitt says that Meyers did not re ceive a cent of thf 4,000 paid lor his re . lease by Philadelphia. The Kellehers won a game from the Capital City nine yesterday at Monroe l'ark. 1 ho score .was 8 to 2. The Daltons cot eight runs in tho came yesterday with the Nationals, the latter being the winners with nine runs. Tho Brener Stars and Young Hoosiers played yestcrday, tho former winning on a score of IU to 1. The Young Hoosiers got only three hits off Van Staut. The White diamonds have reorganized and would like to hear from clubs whoso players are under nineteen years of age. Challenges can be addressed to John i Kelly, ICS North East Ftrcet. The total base-ball attendance on the Fourth was i;0,7Ul, distributed as follows: League. 5.V2.VJ; Association, 25,675: Inter national. 2.1081; Atlantic, !,7TC. The TriStatc, Western and Southern League ligurcs are not known. Fcssenden is no longer a League umpire. Powers is to take his place, and Curry is hereafter to be a regular, lie will umpiro the games at noston this week. McLniaid will be at Philadelphia, Lynch at Y ashington ana rowers iu ew i one McShannic will probably play short-stop for tho Raltimores hereafter. Manager JSarnie, who as in hyracuse. telegraphed assistant manager W alz, Thursday, that his release could be purchased from Hamilton for $1,200. The deal will probably be made. The averages up to July 1. as given in the Sporting l.iie, showthat Indianapolis leads the League clubs in butting, with .IM. New York coming ne.Nt with. .20, lirouthers leads the individual batters with vW, Denny is fecoud, with .34 and Glasscock has .S43. Two remarkable, games were played at Chattanooga, Tenn., on the Fourth, between the Atlanta and Chattanooga league

teams, the total number of innings bein twenty-six, fourteen in tho morning and twelve in tho afternoon game. The play was brilliant throughout. "The gate receipts of the morning game on the 4th at Pittsbnrg. were attached by tho Detroit club for !?550. Tho Boston club made somo arrangement to pay the Detroit club the above amount if it would releaso the Rostons from their otter for the release of White. Detroit did so, and Boston refused to pay over the money. The Eclipse, yesterday. defeated the Spriugdales in live innings by a score of 14 toC The batteries were, for the Elipse, Piscator and Seaner. and for the Springdales Meehn and Hoffman. The Eclipse also defeated the White Diamonds, by a score of 17 to 8. The batteries were, for the Eclipse. O'Neal and Seaner, and for the White Diamonds Path and Duly. Conway went to President Nimick. of the Pittsburg club, Saturday and announced that his arm was in shape again and that he was prepared to pitch. Mr. Nimick decided to send him with the team, and he will likery go to work against the New York team about Wednesday. As in Morris's case, he will not be restored to the pay-roll until he has demonstrated that he is in form. Conway has been ott since May 14, and has missed three pays, which, at $250 each, would reach $750. Long Distance Pedestrianlsm. Special to the Inliaiiaiol!s Journal. Rockvillk, Ind., July 7. Prof. W. N. Lake, tho long-distance pedestrian, at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon finished the greatest walk of his life at this city. Saturday morning, Junu 29, at 1 o'clock a. m., he commenced a walk of 412 half miles to be completed in 3&i consecutive half hours, a teat never before performed by any pedestrian. During tho walk he also gave exhibitions of fancy walking. He completed his journey on

time by walking against a lox-trotting horse, making his last half mile in four minutes six aud one-half seconds. At the wiud-nn there was a parade, headed by tho Rockville Light Artillery band and the drill team. j A MODEL REFORM SCHOOL. Family System of Government and Care as Carried on at the Plainfield Institution. - 5 Among the guests at the .Bates House, last night, was John Latta, who is connected with tho Indiana Reform School. Originally ho came from the Ohio State Re form School, where ho was in official serv ice for twelve years. He came to this Stato in'l&ft "It is a remarkablo fact," he said to a Journal reporter, "that from the Indiana school we have sent men to four States and one Territory in the Union to serve as State superintendents of similar schools. L. D. Drake, a Republican, was elected by a Democratic board in Missouri, aud the superintendents in Tennessee, Iowa, Colorado and Dakota are all Indiana men aud direct from our school, in which they have all served as otticers. As to tho school's couditionat present, I do not think it has over been moro prosperous." 'To what do you attribute this success?" "To a fact that I am afraid is but little known. You see, in 1880, when Superintend ent Charlton took charge of it, it was called the Indiana House of Kefuge. In 1881 ho had its name changed. to the Indiana Reform School for Roys, and with that change he introduced the system that has mado its prosperity so marked. This is what is known as the family system, and it works like a charm. We 'discarded the prison system and divided the bovsimder our control into fami- . lies. In the institution are eleven families. and over each family is an officer that we call a house father. That is my function at present, and in my family are fifty bovs. ranging in ages from ten to sixteen years." uai is iuc luiiuauiruiai iuca iu ti3 family system?" , " e try to make our school as much like a home as possible. In other words, we aim to make tax-pavers and not tax-consumers. With us it was an experiment, for no other school in tho world was at that time, oris 5uow, operated on that basis. The theory is very simple, a boy comes to us, and generally he has been raised in the slums of a city. What he needs most, we think, is home influence and not prison bars. Av e place him on his honor and let me say to you that in dealing with the class of boys we have, this roes much further than all the restraint and punishment we could inflict. For this reason escapes are rare occurrences with us. Indeed, it is the exception where boys are so discontented that they desire to get away. W e endeavor to guard against this by our Saturday-evening lawn festivals. .another feature in our school which you will not find elsewhere, livery Saturday evening we give a social on our lawn, and have songs, short talks and a general , good time. In short, we try to do away with as much of tho routine of prison life as possible." "W hat per cent, of the inmates come from this city!" "That is a pretty hard thing to decide without the records, but on a rough guess. I should say from 10 to 15 per cent., and I will say another thing about tho boys we get from your city, and that is that, taken as a class, they are not as unruly as those who come from other parts of the Mate. 1 his is dne, no doubt, to the fact that they have been reared to tho crimes in a large city and are not so apt to bo led astray as is the averago country vouth. Thev are made sham enough by daily experience to know that when oiice caught resistanco is tho worst thing for their interests. "Is your institution in good condition, so far as its accomodations are concerned.77 "Yes; tho only thing wo need is natural gas. Rut we have an appropriation of 27,000 to put in steam, and the work will soon be begun. When that is completed, wo will have the best place of its kind in tho country.77 A Hold Robbery. A young man who gave his name at tho police station as John Welch, was arrested, early this morning, just after committing a bold robbery. Patrolmen Roettcher and Mooro were standing at the corner of Il linois and Washington streets, at 1 o'clock when they heard the sudden clash of broken glass. At that instant a man ran past them, but was caught. On his person were found eicht heavy solid gold ladies' necklaces, which had been taken from the show-window of Louis Burgheim. whoso place of business is No. 50Yet Washington street, in the Rates House block. Welch broke a plate-glass window, three eights of an inch thick, with a piece of scantling, and in the presence of a dozen or more bystanders seenred the jewelry, and ran directly toward the police officers. At the station he said that he had recently come to this city from Louisville. Ho 'was slated for burglary and grand larceny. The Court Record. SUPERIOR COURT. Vfie mis Filed.

He Was Francis Warrington Reeks and Ran Away from Kngland. New York Special to Pittsburg Dispatch. The Dispatch to-day referred to a statement made by one who was in a position to know, that the real name of Captain Dawson, who was shot in Charleston, was Reeks, and that Captain Dawson was, in fact, an own brother of the Rov. Father Reeks, who is a priest in St. George's Cathedral, London, aud who has been recently spoken of as a relative of Dr. Cronin. A gentleman -in this city, who was a very warm personal friend ot Captain Dawson, and who for a long time maintained inti mate business relations with him, made this statement to a Dispatch reporter to day. "It is true that Captain Dawson's real name was Reeks. His full name was rrancis Warrington Reeks, and he went by the name of Francis Warrington Dawson. This change of name was not due to any circumstances discreditable to Captain Dawson. At tho outbreak of the war here Captain Dawson was a boy in England. His sympathies became strongly enlisted with the confederates, and he ran away from home hiding as a stowaway on a ship to join the confederate army. "Realizing that his life would be ono of adventure, and not wishing to have any rumpus over a violation of the neutrality laws bv an Englishman, he assumed his mothers maiden came of Dawson. Under this name he served throughout the war and was gazetted and promoted. At the close of the war he was4very proud of his record and wished to retain the name associated with it Ho consulted sevoral eminent lawyers, who told him that as he had no blood relatives in this country, there was no reason why he should not continue to be known by the name he had assumed. He resolved, therefore, to keep tho name of Dawson. Captain Dawson never mado any secret of the fact that Reeks was his rieht name. His brother, the Rev. Father Reeks, visited him in Charleston: and Captain Dawson introduced the priest everywhere under the name of Reeks as his brother. "The story that Dr. Crouin was a brother of Captain Dawson and Father Recks is a wild yarn. Dawson never knew anything about Cronin. He was a warm sympathizer. though, with the cause of tho Irish Nation alists.77 THE AMERICAN FLAG. Tourists Find It Floating Over a Castle on the Rhine, and Reverently Salute It. E. n. Rankin, in Boston Herald. While passing through Germany I noticed in man' places where Hags and bunting were used for decorative purposes that the American colors were freely displayed, but nowhere could a r rench nag be seen. Even in Hamburg, where an exposition is at present in progress, and where on tho exhibition grounds flags in profusion are used, t he French colors wore noticeable only by absence. I sailed down the river Rhine from Coblentz to this place.a few days ago. with a few Americans, and one of the most delightful things we saw along the whole course of the charming and historic stream was an immense American flag floating proudly and defiantly from a high Stan on a beautiful mansion located on tho right bank of the river. ' "Isn't it time to cheer a little bitT 7 asked ono of the Americans. . "Yes, I suppose it is," answered another. "Rnt, then, we'd call that freshness' in onr own countr'. Let's stand up, and take our hats off as wo pass the grand old flag." And ladies and gentlemen alike stood by the steamer Wilhelm's raiL and removed their bonnets and hats as the mansion was heinir nassed. Thev all felt liko rheerintr. but tho quieter demonstration was far more ettective, and the Germans, and English, and other travelers looked on in silent admiration at the men and women who had thns shown their love of country. and their admiration for its nag. I learned that an American gentleman had taken un his residence in the Rhine mansion a year ago, and that this season he had nung tho colors of his country to the breezes of tho Rhine valley, and kept them at the masthead week in and week out. WTho the American was noneof the Wilhclm's officers could tell me, nor could I learn his name on my return to Cologne. Not an English, Merry -flaking. Phllade'plUa Inquirer.
