o'clock Monday afternoon Breece's sawmill near Bainbridge was wrecked by the boiler exploding. Frank Breece and Nate Weatherby were killed and others were injured. Engineer Weatherby had just started the engine after the noon hour and the men had lined up along the sawmill track when the boiler suddenly gave way with a crash, and the building was shattered to pieces. Everhart and Martin were probably fatally injured, Everhart being struck in the head with a flying piece of iron and Martin being crushed under the building. Boslin and Houston may recover.
It is supposed the water in the boiler had evaporated and this caused the explosion. The mill was one of largest the neighborhood. The building was badly damaged, and the loss will amount to $2,000.

A GREAT YEAR FOR POLITICS. Although 1894 is what is known as an "off year" among politicians, it promises to equal in importance those 'in which presidents are elected. The state legislatures chosen next Norember. will elect upward of twenty United States senators, and 'an entire new house of representatives is to be voted. for.
It. will thus be seen that the people will again have an opportunity to remake both branches of congress. The workers of both parties are consequently very active in all of the close states, especially where a senatorship is at stake. When the electors understand the great national issues involved the probability is that local questions will cut a small figure in the contest. It bids fair to be a strict party fight on.

LONDON, April 14.
-Paris is startled by a sensational dynamite discovery just made in Aubervilliers, one of the city's environs. The police this morning unearthed a great nest of anarchists and found enough bombs to annihilate the whole city of London. The authorities say the discovery was made just in time--that a huge conspiracy for the destruction of life and property was barely nipped soon enough to arrest a. fearful horror. Since the, Vaillant affair the police have been especially active in tracking anarchists, to their dens, and many been arrested.
The detectives, in fact, made the capital too hot for the terrorists who fled for refuge to the small mangfacturing towns under the walls of t.ne city. Of these Aubervilliers was believed to have been most farorabls because of the almost exclusive laboring character of its people. The police department sent its detectives to the town and the result. was the finding of a whole magazine of anarchistic ammunition that caused the most widespread alarm in Paris among those who know something of the anarchists' methods. In a waterunder the road leading from Aubervilliers to Courneuve the police found a dozen tin boxes filled with the most dangerous explosives-a case containing twenty pounds of poudre verte, twenty pounds of dynamite cartridges, a quantity of scrap steel and hob nails and a reversible bomb ready for use.
The police have arrested a number of workingmen whom they suspect of knowing something about the plant, but the discovery soon became known, and there is no doubt that the real criminals have made good their escape.

Twenty-seven claims against Chili, involving $30,000,000, were submitted a by of the United States, and only four have been adjudicated.
Some months ago Chili gave her consent to an extension of the treaty, but for some reason Judge Gresham ignored the matter. Finally, when it was forced upon his attention, he expressed his assent to the extension, but in the meantime the Chilian government had got upon its dignity and declined to proceed further.

The sheriff, who remained on the ground, was informed that only the life of "the negro would satisfy their vengeance.
The mob swore that the entire state militia could not take him away. The sheriff parleyed with the leaders, who declared that if the soldiers 'were ordered back to Bellefontaine they would try to protect the prisoner until morning and give him a hearing in Rushsylvania. They also told the sheriff that he must promise that no attempt should be made to get the man away until after the preliminary examination. Sheriff Sullivan, who was in command of the soldiers, was informed that there were six dynamite cartridges under the calaboose and if any attempt was made to fire a gun or fix a bayonet the building and the prisoner would be blown into eternity. After parleying for a times the sheriff decided that he could do nothing and 'the troops were ordered to return to Bellefontaine on a promise from the citizens that they would care for the prisoner and see that no harm came to him.

The building was overturned and the struggling negro taken from it. A rope had been procured. A noose was put about the neck of the trembling wretch and he was dragged to a cottonwood tree about 1.00 yards distant.
Very little was said and no opportunity was given to the prisoner to make a confession or statement. A dozen willing hands grasped the rope and the negro was swung into the air. As his body rose above the mob the air was rent with the shouts of the men and women who had assembled to witness the lynching.

The Northern Pacific Recelvor Ordered tor Face Charges of Fraud. MILWAUKER, April Jenk-. ins has denied the petitiop for the removal of the Northern Pacific receivers The days of Thomas F. Oakes: as one of the receivers of the Northern Pacific railroad are numbered unless he can disprove three serious charges brought against him by Brayton Ives, and which Judge Jenkins Saturday said had not been answered to the' satisfaction. of the court in Mr.
Oakes' reply to 'the petition for his removal. In the words of the court the denials of Mr. Oakes were not substantial denials. The charges, that Receiver Oakes must prove false in order to retain his position are that he allowed deals to be made whereby certain directors made great profits, and which resulted in looting the treasury and wrecking the corporation. Here they are: The purchase of the Chicago terminals for 88,000,000 in excess of their cost and the pocketing of the profit by Villard, Colby, Abbott and Hoyt.
The purchase of the Rocky Fork CookeCity railroad.

Judge Jenkins said explanations regarding these shady transactions. must be forthcoming, and, in order to get the necessary light, will refer this portion of the petition to a special examiner for the purpose of taking testimony.
Concerning the charges against Receivers Payne and Rouse, Judge Jenkins said they had done nothing to merit their removal. The only mistake they had made was in joining with Mr. Oakes in having separate receivers appointed for the various branch lines and thus creating heavy and unnecessary expenses. The court said 'that while in this matter they had acted hastily and were ill-advised he did not deem their action sufticient ground to. their removal.
