Instantly 13,2W dynamite cartridges, protrading from that many hole drilled In the mine were exploded, aad the 240,000 pounds of rack rock packed back of the dynamite cartridges went up a second later.

Almoet every Mae la the ally waa running ears all more or leea Irregularly, and aaah guarded by two police men, who rode oa the koatand rear platforms. The activity and watchfulnone ot the polloe lu oiite degree calmed the leara ot the public, aad the differeat lines of cars carried large numbers of people. As the afternoon passed away there waa a feverish anxiety to hear from the different sections ot the city, aad the men oa the caw began to grow tearful with the appreach ot darknes. There were numereu rumors as to acta of violence oa different line?, but they were not verified, except In a small way oa the north and south ends of the Broadway line, la ex citing crowds oa Jefferson avenue, and in the placing ot obstruction oa the tracks oa Bellefontalne Read. With the aearer approach ct evening congratula

tions over the s-uccesstui operations 01

the day began to lake the place of fears; but later crowds were reported gather lag at different points, aad exciting

ramora were again rife. All I the lines made preparatloaa to draw lu their oars, the rat-n aot being willing to run into the night, and fear were thea expre seed that attacks would be made on the stables. This was particularly the case with the Fourth street stables,

where Superintendent Shea said 100 cars were stored, aad where the match could have been applied at half a dozn differ-

ent points simultaneously. aais tear

was so deep that Su 'erlntendent Mee asked for a special guard of six policemen, but was only able to secure four. The quiet very unusual for Sunday was thought by many to Indicate a very unsatisfactory state ol affairs to be the ominous calm that precedes a storm. There was a very general impression that the crisis would come sharply, aad that the endIng of the riotous proceedings accompanying the strike would oaly bo by a decisive conflict between the contending elements, the law aad the turbulent portions of the populace. There was a consequent uneasiness over the postponmi nt ot the settlement ot the queation as to who shall gala the mastery. It was plala that the police authorities were becoming tired, worm out and nervous from their long aad constant watch, and It was also evident that the strikers were gaining valuable time la which to strengthen their forces, As was the case yesterday, cars are rnaninzon nearly ail the lines in tbc city

to-day, the Cass avenue and Union Depot lines having ont a greater number than

thev have had for several days. The other

affected roads continue to operate under strong police protection, aad run very irregularly. Yeeterday the Jefferson Avenue Railway raade

fifty-two still remain and have rendered mi average service of thlrly-four years.

so far aa known, are still living, some ia

honored old age, reatlng from their

lolls, and some actively engaged la the mnMry.

An mteresiing leature oi me lorciga work during the past twenty-five years Is the engagement ot work for women. In I860 there were twenty-two women connected with the different' missions. A few of the wives ol missionaries were attempting to do something for their sex,

but no jtystematic woric nau oeen organized. Now there are 101 women with the different missions in charge of forty seminaries or engaged iu field work. The number of young men enjoying the advantages ot higher Christian education under the immolate care of cultured women from this country amounts to aaarlv 1.700. while probably tea

times as maay more are reached la their homes by missionary ladles, and by the large number ol Bible women working under their supervision. In twenty-nve years there has been an advance In churches from 105 to 292; of church members from 8,800 tc over 28,000; of pupils In common schools from 8.000 to 85,000; of native pastors from 27 to 147, aot to speak ot the growth of a large aad efficient body of native preachera and teachers, acting as laborers la the evangel Izatloa of their people. By a singular coincidence there has been on the average a five fold Increase during the twenty-five years In the aggregate of results in the following lines of effort.

Washi.noton, D. C, October !. Ar-

before Secretary Lamar, of the Interior

Department, and Attorney-General Garland and Assistant Secretary Jenks, sit

ting as a board. The Back Boae Land

Grant was a conspiracy to obtain from

the United States Land Office a tract of

land upon the Mississippi lllvcr wltma had been forfeited under Its original grant. The grant was assigned after the

time had elapsed, and was claimed alter.

wards by a railroad built upon the opposite side of the river from which the line carrying the orlglnat grant was run. This fraud was passed upon by the Lnnd

Ofilce in the closing hours of the lait ad

ministration. Secretary Teller helped it

turoHxh, and extra haste was employed In the Land OlBce to get out the patent for this great domain. It was impossible to complete

It before the Department changed secretaries. Steps were taken Immediately

to stop the Issuing of patents. Argument has now been made to induce the Secre

tary to lsue the remainder ot the pat

ents. The decision ot me ueparimeni

probably will be this: No action will be taken, but the matter will be referred to Congress. Secretary Lamar Is not dis

posed to lavor the applicants, unicsa Congress next winter takes some action to set aside the fraud, the Interior

Department may be compelled to issue the patents under all the circumstances.

The noticable thing about the case is

the fact that the claimants lor all tnis land were represented by a tnob of at

torneys, while there was no one present to act as counsel for the Government ir presenting a counter argument.
