THE SEQUEL. AN ATTKMPTKD LTNCHINO AND ANOTHER TRaOEDY ATTKNDKD Wird FATAL REsCLIS. A Great Bend special to tbe Times of a later date says; Alter tbe prisoner, W. F.

Alford, bai been bound over and lodged in tfio jail, a party of men, some titty in number, about 4 this morning, went to tbe 1il and took the key from tbe shenfl's wlte, Mrs. William Leak, and unlocked the door; but the prisoner tai the door bolted on the inside in sncb a manner that they could not I open It. They then went to a window and pried open a couple of bars large enough to admit one man, and . then one ot the party, a Frenchman by tbe name of Jamea ltolando, crawled through Joio the cell to open the door, Tbe priscner, W. F. Allord, grappled him, and struck Mm on the bead with a piece oi wod. It tlando called on the croTd lor assistance, when one or thn crowd banded a revolver through the opening to tto Frenchman to defend himself witu, but the prlsonT got bold of the revolver and fired three shots at tbe Frenchman, one of them taking effect in the abdomen, passing through to bis back. He is still aln e at

bis time 10 p. M., but can hardly live until morning. Wnilat the scooting was g..ing on, others oi tne crowd crawiea into int cen and overpowered the prisoner, and opeue I the door. They then tried Li bands and put A ROPE AROUND HIS NECK, and started down street, towards too depot, he calling piteously at every step for help, and crying murder, some twenty-five men running with bim, and otbeis keeping back a part of the crowd. In some mam er bis bands got loose, and he slipped the rope over his b- ai and s'arted across the prairie iu tbe dark, and mads his ettcapi fr m the crowd, lie went up iu tne west, part ot the city and crawled into a barn bewmgii'g to G.'W.

There is s ill strong excitement amongst the people, bur, since their failure last night, they ietl a little timid in making auotber such attempt at a business that is entirely new to theuo. The pri-oner re ceived some pretty rough haudliug and is feeling verv despondent. lie na8 Le 1pertecuy willing to die, and that thev can take him aud hang him as Boon as thev please. A later account states that 11 - .ndo Is dead aud that Alford was naie in ail. BABCOCK'd BADNESS. TROUBLE BREWING FOR BAB IN AN UNEX PECTED QUA Kl ER. The Chicago Times correspondent at Washington telegraphed yesterday's issue oftbat paper: There is more trouble froui an unexpected quarter brewing for Babcock. Mr. Babcock, besides bis occasional diver sion in the delights of tli9 whisky ring. rlayed nunv parts in this thrfty vineyard of specula ion. B-Jsides his filee as corfi deniiai aivUer of the president, Bbcork hulJs the position ol ergireer in charge of public buildings and grounds Some scrutiny into tLe methods bv Wi'icb public buildings have beeu erected during ihe last tea years leaves no doubt tba'. tbe most extraordinary svteni ot double charges was indulged in by respon sible personages In t'iai department durmg tbe last few years, or while Mr. Baoccck has been in charge as engineer, untold cnare of tbe public building. Members who tare beeu look'ug about theai and conniing th cost, through documents and otherwise, de clare thav. no such sum has ben expended in the years that Babcock has been at tbe heal of these establishments. Oa tbe con trary, a tenth part of the allotted sum would cover every penny f the real expenditure. It is proposed to make Mr. Bibcock show where these mysterious millions have dis appeared lo. ftince he came into tbe p i lion of generalissimo of ihe White House, unusual suuisot mo ley have been voted by congress lor refurnisbing of tbe executive mansion and kIüchu, and beautifying ol the president's grouuds. There is no record to show that any considerable am uit of these rams has b-en expended as intended. It la strongly suspected, ou tbe contrary, tba' tne great rows of private housss put up by Babcock and the peculiar friends ottha gentleman are visible s;gns of tbe euormou appropriation made in ibe interest of the president and davoted by his conüdential aecrttary to OUTSIDE DISHONEST PURPOSES. Through so mo peculiar favoritism, Mr, Bab cock was appointed last March superintec dent of the massive piles of buildings erected for the r avy, war, s!a e and other departments, in ttiia position be has been the master of atmest unlimited treasure for which tbe na'iou has a (ev bare walls, a few heaps of bricks, a tew hideous fronts and ntarlr.g bauis and rafters certainly nothing to justify the annual appropriations ol 1,000,000, go 000,000 and gtJ.OOO.OOi) which the tx oks call lor. It is lurther alleged that Babcock'a connection with . tbe Indian ring can be proven from the remnautM of documents which l ave been d8troyed in tbe departments, it is tbe apprehension of bis exposure in this quarter as much as the dread of tbe re-,ults iu St. Louis, which baa exci ed the rum ra of polit-.cal intervention in Babock's behalf, which is expected here to save him from any lurtber inconvenience in St. Louis. The ramifications of tbe Indian ring, whose ill-gotten millions were as openly stolen as tbo.-e of the whisky ring, are likely, from indications,, to enguif as many unexpected personages in high places as tbe wbisky frauds themselves. ' It is the purpose of those who bate tLe investigation io charge to hold everything in as deep privacy as possible until tbe evidence, baa been put iu such shape that Investigations can go right on to their conclusions without any interruption. No investigation will be permitted, nor any charp.es, till tbe members who have them in band are perfectly sure that the evidence in unimpeachable and so strongly made that tbe victims can not escape. There are evidences on every hand ot the wholesale destruction of testimony by accidental blazes in various noc ks and corners of tbe government departments. By a curious chance, wherever peculiar traces of dishonest dealing are brought about tbe Babcock-Sbepard Grant ring seems to have bad a band. The result will be that if tbe testimony can be made as strong as tbe suspicious circuin stances, the plundering . party which has beeu responsible for this mischievous business during the last teu year will uot iail to get its deserts. These frauds in the building department are uot confined to Washington, Commissioners will have to be sent to every city in the United States. The original register of marriages at Gretna Green Is announced for sale, by tender, by a Carlisle firm of solicitors. What a history, or ratber biography in brief, of rcmantic runaway coup'es.

THE PLOT THICKENS.

The Dynamite Demon Charged with ! an Attempt at Othef Crimes. : THE LATE3T DEVELOPMENTS. ONE OF TIIOMAS'8 BOXES FOUND IN NEW YORK HOW HK BROUGHT IT THERE, AND WHAT IT 'WAS MEANT FOR, The New York W'orld of Wednesday gives the following particulars of the latest developments la the dynamite plot: Tbe workings and plottings ot tbe Bremerbaven "Thcmaesen" were further disclosed yesterday in the discovery of tbe fact that a ' White Star Btepmer . bad been selected by bim tor destruction as lar back as Ootob-r last. This fact was brought out yesterday by the opening of one ol Thomas's treasure-boxes at tbe White Star dock iu this city. The working up of the case shows that 'ihomas !e t Liverpool in the steamship Celtic on October 14 ib, arrived here October 24th, and until the 2S:h was a guest at the Filth Avenue Hotel. Thematter is being further in-te-tigated to discover who his confederates were, if he had any. WHAT A POLICEMAN FOUHD OUT AND DID. Otflcer Thomas J. Laird, of tbe ninth precinct, who is cow and has been f r some time detailed as special officer on the White Mar dock, foot of West Tenth street, tells tbe following stor? of tbe new discovery: The first I knew of th!s rase was e fl iu O 'toher last, on tbe 2itb: a Sunday it wa. Tbe Celftccame to her berth about 11 o'clock at d tie passengers' tagae was taken out at once. Tfcer was auioi'g the pas-ei g-re a man named Thomas, who had, bes.d s bis regular trunks, a smaa box which be said i contained specie. It was brougl t oat ir m he f pecle-room of tbe vessel, where it had been placed at tbe request ol Thomas when it was first brought ou the steamer. It was heavy, and one of tbe porters had it on baud-truck. I followed it down tbe pier to the door of the baggageroom. Cos'om liouf-e Officer Glassey was In charge of the ma a's baggage, and Toombs had akei bim to put the box aside for a day or two, when 1 e would ftend dowu for it. Ibis Ulasaey premised to do. aud told oieof the portnrs to wheel it to the baggige room. Glaey m-ntloted to me as I was standing near what the box conained, and I walked alter to see it put safely away. vVnen we got to tbe bajgitge room'door it was lound locked, when Thomas told Glasiey to never mind locking it up, ss H only had in it cartridges which he intended using on a bunting excursion iu the West. We rolled tbe box up ti e deck again and put it do vn before tt e custom bouse, near the middle ol the pile. The rest ot the tagzage held by Thomas was passed, and he weut off. THE BOX STOWED AWAY. The box lay where e dropped It until Saturc'ay, the 30th, when Officer Banks, ol the custom bouse, who bad been in charge during tbe loading and uuloading of the Celtic, wiähed to leave, as the vessel bad again started back to Liverpool and his duties were over. Before going off be ordered one of the men to open tbe box a little, that he might see what was in it. I was tl ere then. "Tt e box is about 20 inches long, 10 wide and 12 deep, but the outside as wrapped a sheet of black oilcu th or tsble cloth stuff lashed with small rope or Loavy twine. This Wrts taken off partly, when the box itself, i f white pine, was found to be strapped witn two broad bands of steel naile 1 on. These were loosened and the screws taken from tbe box lid. Oa raising i a sheet or metal ouly could be seen, ap pearinjj to ne a oox within a wooden or e It was not lurtber 1 ..ked into at that time. nut was r ailed an l lied up by order of Oth cer Banks and put into the bagta;e-room until called lor. That waslhe lat of it until last Sunday, when I read in the papers how Thomas La i tried to insure a box on one oi tbe Wuite Star ships. I recollected tbe name ot the man, and it struck me that this box was the one the papers were speaking of. talked about it to the watebmao and told bim what I thought. This was on Sunday last. A NICE BOX. Monday morning I asked the bagg9geroom man whether that box was there yet and he Bald yes. I asked Mr. Pennel), the superintendent of the pier, what he thought of it, and he said he bai read the papers and bad himself thought ot the box. He wanted it taken right cut of tbe baggageroom. I reported what there was in the case at the station-bouse, and was told to work it up. I went to see Giassevand be remembered the man and tbe box distinctly. Ae iaid tbe man Thomas had gone to the Fiith Avenue Hcte.'. This be knew, as on go:ng off Ihomas had invitel Glatsey to step up lo tbe hotel to have a glass of wIlo witn bim. I weut up to tbe Fifth Aveuue Hotel, told tbem what I wanted, and on turning back n tbe register to the 24th of October the name ot W. H. Thomas, ot Diesden, was found. Tie clerk remembered bim, and described tbe man enough tor me to kuow it was thf-saine individual. 1 called ou Superintendent Walling, at police headquarters, and told what I had lonnd out. Ho instructed me to go tbe bureau of combustibles ol tbe fire department and have them send a man to inspect tbe box. I did so, it being then nearly 5 o'clock, yesterday atternoon. iney promised to send a maa around to look at It. OPENING IT WITH CARE IN THE STREET. This morning Ptjnnell, tbe dock superintendent, said he didn't want the box in tbe baggage-room any longer, and I carried it out. At 12 o'clock (nooD), when there were only a few about, one of tbe coopers on tbe pier, Kedly, and myself took the box out into the street be' ire the pier, where it could do no baror coopeait, and I tell you we did it pr y careful. Nobody who knewanythi about it would come near. Ihe super) .endent came and looked at us once or ice, and 1 kept every one else away, fne outer black oil-skin was taken ff altogether, and then there was a common pine box. We loosened tbe steel trap enough to get tbe top off. Below this was a steel pla'e. In tbe middle of this was a hole. By putting, a finger iu the hole tbe plate was lifted. " It was tbe top of a steel box. In this was about a dozen straw packages, such as come around bottles, with a lot of coarse brown paper; at the bottom of the metal box we found two bas of shot, ordinary drop shot, and a second box. This ratber frightened us, aud neither of us cared about opeuing it. This little box was about ten inches by eight inches and abiut tour inches doe p. With tbe bags ol snotit )ost filled uo tbebo'toin of tbe big box. It was wrapped in brown taper and tied about with string. Ou takiugoffthe siring and paper a wooden b x was seen. Tbe lid was held on by tour ni a 11 screws, one at each corner. Taking ttMMe out with the greatest care, two more bags ot shot were lound in tbe little box, wid this was all, cot a speck of writing or printed paer of any kind. 1 then took the tx wan all that was in it to the police sta tion. There were four twenty-five pound bajjsof tLeehot." THOMAS AND HIS FLANS. At the hotel the register contained the autograph, wtit'en iu a bold, dashing band, "W. EL. Thomas, Dresden." Thomas was asdgned to room 407, oa the filth floor, and

appa.-ently gave but little trouble, as the hotel people remember merely tlat be ar rived oil tbe 24 b, left on tbe 2Stb, and paid his bill -before going. -A ball boy, Iluab Uilmar, in waiting upon bim, and notireo tne man particularly, as "he lokfd European like, German or.

THEY ARE OBSEQUIOUS HOLDERS. OFFICE COLONEL DUG ANNE AND THIRTEEN OFFICE HOLDERS AND OFFICE -Kh KkRS READY FoR THKCAMI'AlGX ANINyUI?IIIVK MEMBER FRsiKPEClIVE CLUBS. The Nejv York Sun shines tor the thirdtermers as follow; The Central Grant Club was organized last evening al the Ash land House by Col. A. J. II. Duganne and thirteen other enthusiastic advocates of the third term. Of these several were easily recognized as habi'ues of tbe custom house, and one gentleman woie a h: djte proclaiming him an inspector or souoethinn ofthatsort. Col. Dutiuue opened the pro ceedings with a short s,n et;h. lie was sure, he said, that Grant would be elected it renominated. Public feeliug in bis favor was widening and strengthening e eery day. Let i; be their mission to aid in the work ot making public opinion. I he country could not nave a better ruler, and, as tbirjgs were going, migbt easily have a worse. A pale geotlemau coincided with the views ot tbe chair, and asserted that unless President Grant Bbould be elected there woul i be NO HOPE OF SAVING THE REPUBLIC. He did not think as much of Grant personally as he did of the chairman, but he knew hs was the man the country needed. Another member told of the formation of a Grant Club of 15 persons in his district, and wanted to know whether tbey should send delegates to the Cen ral Ciub. Col. Duganne No. Every affi listed member can come to our meetings. If we want to do any business, we can select men of our own organization. We shall Lave clubs formed ot men who support Giant, because be is in favor of free education ard non-sectarianism, and if clubs of Quakers or greenback men, or any other kind of men, should offer to join, we would accept them. A member Lit tbe gentlemen here do as I did gather their friends at their bouses and form clubs. My club took the ground that there was no great issue before tbe people, aud that Grant was the best ruler we could have. Of the seventeen men in my club, five are democrats as to city issues, but tbey win vote loruraat. suLsquemiy tnis ta re member, who thus expanded his club from fifteen to seveote?n, and gave bis residence as the place of its formation, said that it was organized in a la jer beer saloon. It was re solved that me obers of the club be re quested to report tbe names of ihird-tetm Grant men to the secretary, but one inquis itive member, wno kept up a running erodes auoination of the gallant colonel throughout the meeting, wanted to knoT"!! about the organization of Grant cluls?" "We don't want to dictate about that," said the colonel with an ex cathedra air. " Li t them do as they please, and have four T ice presidents it tbey want to. We don't want want to show tbat THERE IS GREAT STRENGTH FC It GRANT, because that is salf-evident. We might work till next January and not enroll baif his supporters. "But the inquisitive member was not satisfied. He wanted to know (1) as to tbe names ot clubs; (2) tbe minimum ot membership; (3) number of officers; (4 as to represeutatlon, and so on. Col. Dugtnee informed bim that tbe Presbyterians or Methodists might form clubs if they wanted to, and tbe workiegmeu, tbe Palletto Club, or the Lotos or the Quakers. Ail they wanted was public opinion. Ha knew e.f one club which had a membership of thousands. The only difficulty next summer would be to find room in Philadelphia for tbe Grant club delegates to tbe great convention. Then rising into lofty enthusiasm tbe colonel continued; "Gen. Grant is more popular to-day than he was four years ago. He did not excite much enthusiasm when we run him as a military candidate he run cn his own merits. I have no feeling for him personally, but he cfcal'.enges . my respect as a ruler. Still, 1 know be has untrer tbe pressure of bad advisers made many appointments in this city that I don't like. However, he may love bis irienas better than I love them. He thinks while otLers are sleeping. I thick smoking has much to do with his good seuse." At this point tbe xlonel, wbp Lad for some time been gropioe wildly around the gas let to light a roll of paper, stopped suddenly, picked up the stump of a cigar from the table, and ha ing been provided with a match by an admirirg member, began to smoke. "They say smoking makes one think like a philosopher," he whispered to tte secretary. The inquisitive member, prefacing his questionby the weighty remark tbat Grant's election was necessary to the permanency; ot the republic, asked, "wben sbail we meet again 7" and it wa decided to leave that to the cLairman. Tbe gentleman neantbe safe, who looked like a night watchman ff duty, and who had been io a eeon-doze for eome minutes, here moved an adjournment, and Col. Duanne voted to adjourn. - . ' BLOODY CIUW3 BONES. ' A BIO BATCH OF THEM THE MISSISSIPPI CONhPlRAToRS RKSADY, ; WITH BALKS OF LYIG TESTIMONY FOR A REVO LÜH ON. A Washington special to the Chicago Times of yesterday says: A very active campaign has beeu made during the two wteka' recess by the Mississippi conspirators, wbo lave broueotan balea oi testi mony to put at tbe service ol PinchbaekMorton. Umil wlihinatew days it wus believed tbat the subject would not be Dusbed anv further, since the independ etice of Dawes and the ku wn opposition of Booth, Curistiancy and Cameron left the nueation in doubt as to its support in tbe tjenate.

Butler las prepared the points ot a sr. each which the Indianlan will pronounce, and try his old tac'.ies of bullying tbe measure through. Toe probability of a closer nuioa of the farty leaders, brongbt about in the preserce of tbe great danger that threatens in St. Louis and Chicago, has inspired this renewed departure ilfcO THE BLOOD AND BONES BrSINKSS. The purpose Is now to keep continually be1 jre the Northern people the fact that power has gone wholly from their bands, aud that the confederates in congress aie there simply through a sinister suppression of the rieh's and privileges of the Southern repnblUaiis. Changes are to be rung on this in every key, aud tbe South scoured for outrspe evidences to fire tbe Northern heart. It is hoped that, bler-ded by this newlyaroused La'red ot theSoutb, tbe leculations ot Babcock aud the republicau Vings will be forgotten or condoned, and a Centennial victory lor the republicans brought about as a consequence. The democrats, on the other hand, do not mean to sit supinely under t be-so ominous demonstrations. Bayard is prepared with prol that tbe alleged outrages are the evil ims2lcine of blatherski e and ruffians, set on t-y d.t-appointei partisaus, who leel grieved because deprived of e Cice. If woist comes to worst, aud the bloody business is reina-jgurated, tbe House will come to the rescue of tbe tentorial minority, and cut down the army to so low a figure tha th propohed aro.cJ intervention iu tbe hffairs of the state can not to brought about.
