Today l,0i0o the dock laborers in Antwerp joined the EiOTemsnfr and much excitement prevail there. The tdrikers have cut o!F communication witii the veBsel.i lying at the quays by throwing their gangways into the river. They indulged in other riotous demonstrations and became ro threatening that the military had to he cilled out to preserve ordr. 'o coEtlicta havo yet occurred. A bomb which had been n'aeod cloe to ths I'etit Waira church exploded this ! morning at Monn with great violence, the force shattering the atained glaes windoa s of the church and doing other damage. There is no clue to the perpetrators, but the act is generally ascribed to the socialist. Many of the men employed at Antwerp in leading and discharging vessels and in other work about the wharves uid cot quit work in obedience to the order of tho men engineering the strike. This infiamed the strikers who today made an attack on tho workers. Tbe strikers were armed with revolvers and need them. Tho gsndarms who aluo Lad firtarms were quick to respond and it

is thousht that reveral strikers were wounded. A number of riti-leaders amonrf the Btrikers w ere captured. Tae fee'iinz of unrest continues to spread.

Id tho fight between the workingmen and civic guards in the streets of Möns yesterday fourteen soldiers were wounded. Thrco will not recover. Idspatches Irom Antwerp this evening show that the situation in that city has grown more threatening hourly eince noon. The strikers had gathered repeatedly in larce crowds throughout the northern district before ? o'clock. A squadron of police riding with drawn ftword against the work ingmen were overwhelmed with ahowers of stones and timbers. The pofco retired in confusion. While tho reserves were being summoned the strikers threw up barricades in the fide tri eis and women and children hastened from tho hou-tH with tircarnip. When another ppiidron of police, supported by a detachment of the civic guard, tried an hour later to drive back the mob they wore met with volleys from the revolver end rillfs ol the men behind the barricades. Mnr.y of the soldiers were wounded nud were removed to tho hospital. Mora military w.-r summoned, aud, after two charges, carried the barricade. The t-trikres r.-treated firing.

Great eicitement prerails at Kiohlan.l City, a little town about ten miles west of this city, over the mur ler of James Mundy by Jame Kelley Tri.?y n'uht, a fliort account of which was puLlished in yesttrrJay'e SliMINEU Toe murder was committed without any provocation whatever. Kaller is now here ia jail, having been captured by Sheriff Trenary late yeterday aftruoou. It is thought there i great danger of lynehh j Kelley and he will likely be It ken to C'unnelton for ta.'e keeoinj until the excitement dis away to some extent. Jame Mundy ):a brtn in the regular army for more theu two yen an. 1 has always haJ a fair name. He ttrrived home on !at Friday morLdug en a visit to his purent, who rtnide between lUchlanl und ltooueville. Iite Sunday afternoon MnnJy in compeny with ctlicr friends went to Uiclilai.d Lit, where they remained a few honr. Aiii'iim the yeunsr men at ilichlanii tliat evenlnc were 'lerry lient'e and Jautrs Kel ey, both of whom were pertonally reuainttil with and hari known James Mondy from tarly boy bond. Mmolay and Dengle soon met and engaged in a friendiy conversation, but were so enthc d over their Ions aeparaiiou that with tbe.r talk they tiee:ned it ueceaaary to take an ocea-icoai drink, which thr y did, Dichlaud City, bke the rnoat of towns, keeping on hand a stock of tanglefoot, the very worat quality at that. During the conversation between Mund and lienils a Uisputo croie over socio wiviul maU

Daring the diiliculty bftweea Mundy and lienglo Keilry was at another pait ot tba little town, but arter peace had been declared he iKelley) learned of the quarrel which had occurred, and without a word spoken he went to Muudy aud shut him through the brain, killing him icttantly. Ir. leler, coroner, held ttie ir.quett over the ho ly of Muudy Saturday, but his report does uot to into details of evidence, but merely states the fnct that Mundy came to his death at tho hands of James Kellcy. Ktlley is about twenty-eight years of aire, and has always been a very bfi lfel.ow, lie was triel in the circuit court Lere a few years aco for pe tit larceny, wi convicteil and sent to tho penitentiary at JeOrsonville for t wo year, previoua in which time he killed a man bark of JeÜertouvilie, but for some reason eaeaped unishuieiit for the criaie.

Cbloig'-i lnler-Ooa n A bill for en act entitled "An Act to Kegulate tbe Tral'.ic in Paking Powder," ha been introduced in the legislature at Striiigf.e:d by Mr. Nohe. The bill is intended to prevent the adulterations of baking powdc rs with ammonia or alum, imposing proper penalties to enforce the law, etc. This rhows an earnest desire on the pnrt of our roprescntati ved to protect their constituent. The CliicBgo Tith inr, referring to the que-tion of legislation on niti:-.. nnd amjnonU baking powders, fiivs: "It deals in u direct mimner with an evil that must bo cut down." "Following is a partial list of the names of ihe brands sold in thi state that have been examined and found to contain either ftM.monia or alum. Many of the nhnn and ammonia powders aw labeled aud ndv-rtisod as absolutely pure to mislead the public. -Calu'M-t." "Forest Citv." "Chicago Yeast," "Grant's F-n Ton," "Hotel," "Tat lor' rOno Spoon."

"Climax," "Monarch," "Western Prince," "Town Talk," "Crown," "Kenton," "MamtiOth." in addition to the above list there is a multitude of brauds sold with a prize. It is safe to reject all baking powders sold with a prize, as the teats show they are composed largely ot alum and cost hut n few cents pr pound. AUo refuso any LuUing uowaer sohl et twerity-tivo centa a pound, or lees; it is pure to contain clum. Surely nothing but their cheapness could induce the public to experiment w ith these impure powders at tho risk of health. ABtde from the question of health or the wholesomenens of these condemn"d powders, and viewed from tho standpoint of economy clone, a puro cream of tartar baking powder like "Ir.

The minister to China ii aho from the southern part, the minister to Mexico and the consul-general to Paris are from the central part, Ilolman claims the collector of internal revenue ior the east district oa account of his long Hcrvice in congress. He has recommended Pracken, who alfo lives in the southern part of Indiana, and in the Fourth district. The two snatora LaT cencedod to liolman this collector. Senator Voorhees will recommend Jump of Terra Hauto for collector of the western district. There is no assurance that the pension cger.t will go north. Holiaan can't get both Pugh and Praclen. As the collector has much patronage end the bank examiner none Ilolman will Hick to Fracken. However, he took Pugh to see Secretary Carlisle and made a fitrong plea for his appointment.
