- "Murder Will Cut.”
The intimate friends of Shoe Mer-
chant A. H. Hoyt “and of Postmaster
Hubbell have observed of late that both
were wearing'an unusually anxious and .
serious expression. ' Hoyt has been‘ob-
served betime, silently and slowly
walking up and down under the deep
cmbowering shade of the J amesi home-
stead’s great, o’erarching elms, with
hands folded behind, in silent reverie.
Orlc report has it that he has been
overheard to hum “My bark is 011 the
Sea,” “My love lies dreaming,” etc.,
but this last needs confirmation, as
those who really have heard Hoyt sing
say he can’t. But the condition of our
usually genial and cheerful friend Car-
mi, has really been still more alarming
to his friends. He has been moody,
al‘isent-ininded and even indifi'erent'to
all passing events. True he has been
taking on fat very fast of late, but that
is explained by his disinclination to ex-
ertion or effort of any kind. But' last
night the whole thing came out. It

The Dynamite Explosion.
TARRYTOWN, N. Y., May 23.-Edward
Finnegan, foreman of the workmen em
plOyed When the recent disaster occurred,
and who is now lying in the Provident
Home hospital here, auficring from the in-
juries he received in the explosion, in an
interview Friday said there was no Ajax
powder on the flat car. It was dynamite.
He took the explosive from Ludlow, where
it is stored, and put it on the flat car No.

a cord of rope ten feet long on the car.
Finnegan says he gave strict" orders to the
Italians not to smoke. When‘ the train
left Ludlow one of the Italians began cap-

as fast as they are used. The man, capping

Sure He's the Liverpool Butcher.
LONDON, May 23.—Johnson, the man
who sold the knife and saw found in the
sailor’s bag which contained the mutilated
corpse of a boy. and which was found
floating in Handon dock, Liverpool, on
Tuesday last, has identified the prisoner,
John Conway, as the purchaser .of the ar-
ticles. The proofs now in possession of
the Liverpool police are complete, and
point clearly to the steamship..fireman,
John Conway, now under arrest as the
guilty man. It. is considered probable that
he will make a confession. . '
