THE FOUR MEN ARRESTED IN LONDON AND THE EVI- DENCE AGAINST THEM. The men arraigned in the Bow street court, London, yesterday, asstated in THe Sra, for hav- Ing explosive material, were put down on the charge sheet as Norman, aged 22; Gallagher, aged $3; Wilson, aged 22; Dalton, aged 89. Dalton Is also known by the alias of John O'Connor. When the prisoners were marched into the dock a stale ‘Wart policeman was stationed behind each one of them. They are all intelligent men, are well dressed, and have every appearance of being not only respectable, but educated. The evidence was direct and circumstantial, coming almost entirely from the detectives, They testified that they found in Norman’s pocket a key that opened the box and also telegram directing him to call on Fletcher, at Charing Cross hotel. Fletcher is the person Who, according to Norman, engaged him to carry the dynamite box that was taken from him. They found in Wilson’s portmanteau rubber bags, containing ae. and also found in Gallagher's rooms more rubber bags like those in the satchel The latter interrupted the testimony by exotatining. that the liquid was merely hydrate of chloral. In Dalton’s possession some pleces of fuse and a thermometer were found. Dalton cried out contemptuously, “The fuse you found was merely a cigar lighter.” They also found upon him a book containing a recipe for the manufacture of fulminate of mercury and other chemical compounds. The prisoners were all remanded without bail, ‘THE CORK DYNAMITERS. Carmody, O’Herlishy and Featherstone, the men arrested on charge of belng dynamite carriers, had @ re-examination in Cork yesterday, which ‘was conducted with the utmost privacy." They were further remanded for a week and bail was refused. Featherstone created some sensation by declarin that, as for himself, he was a citizen of the Unite States, that he had placed himself and his case in the hands of the United States consul at Cork, and that he expected through that offictal redress for the indignity heaped upon him.

In reference tothe conference between repre- sentatives of the Washington Gas Light colmpany and the District Commissioners Thursday, Com- missioner West said to a Stax reporter thst the way the question came up was this: He foresaw that the gas company wanted to tear up the streets, and several weeks ago he sent foy Mr. Bailey, of the gas office, and had a long tally with him about the way gas is supplied, and on parting Mr. Batley promised to let Mn Bartol know what the views of the District Commissioners were uj the subject, and an ment was made that upon his (Mr. Bartol’s) return from Florida he would call and see the Commiasioners, which he did. Commissioner West says he has’ all aloug thought that the District government, as well as Private citizens, were paying too much for their gas; he holds that every inducement in the world which citizens can make to encourage visitors to come to this city,by making it pleasant and agree- able as a home, should be held out to them. One ot these points is to have a well lighted city and cheap ‘as for general use, The minimum price had not en Set f along ways. He sald this gas company should not be allowed to go on and tear up the streets and avenues for their own convent- €nce and profit without some corresponding ben- efit to the people, otherwise they might as well let in an outside company to do the same thing; in which eyent the citizens might expect some per- manent benefit by honest competition. He hoped the officers of the gas company would see their own interest by a more liberal practice towards ‘the city and its residents. GEORGE ALBERT Mason’s CLaru.—George Albert Mason, who was recently released from the Al- Dany penitentiary, where he had served @ term for counterfeiting, is in the city, and proposes, ac- cording to publications in various papers, to sue the government for $50,000 for alleged false im- prigohment. Mr. Wm. P. Wood, who is acquainted with the circumstances of the case, and with whom Mason is said to have been in consultation, stated to-day that there was nothing In the case; that Mason is a British subject, and that if his claim was presented at all ft would have to be made through the British authorities.
