Excitement in Barcelona Over the Tragedy. ARREST OF SUSPECTED ONES. BARCELONA, Nov. 8.—A dastardly out- rage was committed in this city last night that for fiendishness and crazy desire to murder has seldom been equaled. The Lyceum Opera House, one of the places of amusement much frequented by the elite of Barcelona society, was the scene of the outrage. The opera season at this house opened last night, “William Tell” being billed for production. There Was a large audience present. Everything went along without a hitch until the sec- ond act, when the audience was listening in- tently to the singers on the stage, two bombs, presumably loaded with dynamite, were thrown from the gallery. As the bombs struck the floor below one of them exploded with a terrific report. Almost every per- son in the house sprang to his feet in ter- ror and dismay. Wild shrieks and cries of agony rose from the lower part of the house, and it was known that many persons had been injured. The wildest kind of confusion prevailed, and many men, their faces pale with fright, abandoned the ladies they had escorted, and made desperate rushes for the exits, Knocking down and trampling upon those in their way without regard to age or sex. How Many Were Killed. When the smoke and dust caused by the explosion cleared away the forms of many persons were seen writhing upon the floor in the vicinity of the place where the bomb had fallen. The seats thereabouts had been blown to pieces and the flooring in places was torn up and the beams part- iy shattered. As yet it has been impossible to discover how many, if any, were killed, but one re- port has it that fifteen lost their lives. The number of injured will be large, for it is certain that many besides those wounded by the exploding bomb were hurt by being trampled upon by the panic-stricken crowd fleeing to the streets. Several persons were removed from the building with nearly every shred of cloth- ing torn from their bodies. The only per- sons who retained their presence of mind were the officials present. Immediately the bomb exploded, and the singers rushed in terror from the stage,the officials grasped the situation. They knew that the outrage was the work of an- archists, and determined to prevent the es. cape of the miscreants. Some of them ran to the gallery and surrounded that Part of it trom which the bombs had been thrown. Several suspicious looking characters were placed under arrest, and when a closer ex- amination was made of the prisoners it was found that two of them were an- archists well known to the police. Other otticlals devoted their attention to caring for the wounded. Six ladies and nine men were seen being conveyed from the opera house to the hospital. Hach of them was severely wounded. Arresting Suspects. When the news of the outrage spread through the city the opera house was quick- ly surrounded by a great crowd of excited people, who gave vent to their feeling of indignation by cursing the anarchists and the police. They insisted that the latter were to blame for the explosion, as they should have known that the anarchists are still active in the city. Within the past six months several anarchist outrages have been perpetrated in this city, including the attempted by Pallas to kill Gen. Martinez Campos, for which the would-be assassin was shot. The police were very active for a time in hunting down anarchists, and their efforts were rewarded with great suc- cess, many of the gang falling into their hands. Much explosive material was cap- tured, and then, apparently, the police rested, content with their work, leaving the anarchists free to plan and execute other outrages. The feeling against the anarchists is very bitter, the people believing that this ts but the first of a series of outrages that will be attempted to avenge the death of Pal- las, who, the night before his death, de- clared that some of his fellow anarchists Were sworn to wreak vengeance for his killing. It is supposed that the reason that one of the bombs aid not explode was that it struck the back of a man sitting in one of the seats, extinguishing the fuse and dropped harmless to the floor. It has now been officially stated that the dead number fifteen. The announcement has caused the indignation against the murderers to increase, and bitter threats are made against them in the event of speedy justice not being meted out to them. No official statement has yet been made as to the number of persons injured, but it is believed that it will be large. An American Killed. Among the killed are an American gentle- man and a wealthy German. The wife of the American accompanied him to the per- | formance. She was injured. As not aware of her husband's Geath. The unexploded bomb is in the possession of the police. It is a fac-simile of the bomb used by Pallas in his attempt upon the life of Gen.

The Dead and Dying. The passages of the theater were turned into hospitals. Priests were summoned, and they administered the last rites of the church to those whom the doctors said could not recover from the effects of their injuries. They also acted as assistants to the physicians, helping them wash the blood from the victims and to bandage up the horrible gaping wounds. While not thus engaged they tried to console the rel- atives of those who had been killed or hurt, who flocked to the theater as soon as they learned of the disaster. | was certified to by The crowd that gathered outside the build- ing when the first intelligence of the out- rage spread swelled in numbers throughout the night. It seemed to embrace about half the population of the city. A strong detachment of the civic guard was promptly at the scene. They had great difficulty in preventing the crowd from entering the building. There is a general feeling of panic in the city. last night's explosion being believed to be a prelude to further outrages by the anarchists. ‘The police were busy throughout the night. They searched the houses of sus- pected anarchists and arrested a French- man named Aragon, an Italian named Soldini and a number of others. After the explosion the telegraph lines were occupied in the transmission of gov- ernment messages all night. No private dispatches were allowed to be sent before this morning. Early last evening Gen. Martinez Campos sent a long dispatch to Madrid, informing the government of the affair. —_——__ EDITED BY CONVICTS. “The Prison Trusty” Published by Inmates of the Kansas Penitentiary. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. 8&—The state peni- tentiary and the innovations that have been made in its management since the advent of the populist administration are the subjects of widespread comment and criticism in Kansas and adjoining states, For the past fifteen years there has been Published in the prison by the convicts a small weekly newspaper called the Prison Trusty. Before the present warden took charge its columns were filled with harmless gossip concerning the prisoners and seiect- ed miscellany, It was tdited by newspaper men who had donned the stripes, and the type was set by printers who had been con- victed of various crimes. It was under the supervision of the prison officials; and no comment on political topics was permitted. Now, however, its colums are filled with Populist editorials upholding the state ad- ministration, and heaping abuse on promi- nent republicans and democrats. Vicious attacks have been made on President Cleve- land and leaders in the House and Senate. They are charged with being the hired tools of Wall street, and are freely accused of dishonest motives in opposing the free coin- age of silver. a Scandalous stories concerning public men in Kansas are printed in the columns of the Trusty, and language is employed that would not be permitted in the columns of a respectable newspaper. The national plat- form of the people's party stands at the head of the editorial columns, and the fit- ness of candidates for local offices is dis- cussed with a fluency that is not equaled by the most partisan editors of the country press. Recently the republican press of the state has criticised Gov. Lewelling for his liberal- ity in pardoning criminals. The Prison Trusty has come to the governor’s defense and has said that the editors who have abused him for these merciful acts would, if justice were done them, exchange places with the editors of the prison organ. It has said that many of those within the prison walls are better citizens than those who question their right to express their political opinions, The chief editorial writer on this novel sheet is an embezzler, who was convicted in Wichita two years ago, and who is a personal friend of Gov. Lewelling. He is serving a term of ten years. Among the frequent contributors is an _es-state house clerk, serving a term of five years for forgery: a burglar from Kansas City, Kansas, doing three years, and a rapist, under sentence of five years, from Hutchinson. Since the paper has become a political organ it has attract- ed a great deal of attention, and the com- ment is bitter against its course and Gov. Lewelling and the prison officials for al- lowing criminals such freedom, while don- ned in sripes and behind prison walls. Its subcription list has increased wonderfully, men of all shades of political belief subserib- ing for it out of curiosity. Within the past few months there have been many escapes from the prison, most of them “trusties.”. Few of them have been recaptured, and Warden Chase a few days ago purchased two blood hounds in Georgia, to be used in chasing escaped convicts. They are kept chained in a kennel near the main entrance to the prison, and are the first objects of interest seen by visitors. They are thoroughly trained and can follow the most intricate trail without difficulty. To test their power the warden had a negro trusty run away, it having been agreed in advance that after he had crossed and recrossed his tracks, jumped ditches and waded creeks, he should climb a certain tree, where he was to wait until the dogs came up. The convict followed instructions, and after he had been given an hour's start, the two blood hounds were turned loose, having been permitted to smell of a handkerchief belonging to the prisoner They followed the route taken by the pris oner at a high rate of speed, and without hesitation ran to the tree where he had! taken refuge. There they appeared mysti- fied and started on a wide circuit in ‘oppo- site directions, both finally returning to the tree. Standing upon their hind legs with their bodies against the tree they began to howl loudiy. If they had found the convict on the ground they would have torn him into shreds. The officers came up, chained the dogs together and escorted the convict back to prison. Warden Chase says the presence of the blood hounds ss cowed the prisoners, and he does not expect them to attempt to make their escape. > DISTRICT TEAM WON, A Shooting Match With a New Jersey Rifle Tenm. The District National Guard added an- other leaf to its wreath of laurel yesterday afternoon, when a team of eight men from the brigade rifie team defeated a similar combination from the New Jersey militia. This was the match that was to have been shot off when the team from Jersey came down three weeks » with the governor nd his staff. On that occasion, however, the Jersey boys brought so much of their home weather with them that in the storm that ensued pretty much everything was swept away from the rifle ran, with the ption of the distances. sterday’s match was shot at long re like a Fs 1 duel. The home team did their shooting here, and the New Jer- sey team did theirs at thelr range in Pas- saic. The scores were forwarded by tele- graph, and the b. C. N.

The Hospital advises “literary workers” “to rise early, take a cup of coffee with toast at 6:30, write for a while, take break- fast at 8, write till noon, take lunch at 1 o'clock, smoke a pipe after it, take a cup of black coffee at 2, write a couple of hours, take a cup of tea at 4, write till 6:30, take dinner at 7, winding it up with a cup of black coffee, take things easy till 10:45, then take a small cup of cocoa, and be ready for bed at 11." The Hospital takes for granted literary workers all like to “take tea” and “take coffee’ and “take things easy.” THE SUBJECT OF LIQUORS. How It Was Discussed in a Capitol Com- mittee Room. Regrets at Lost Opportunities — How They Are Doctored—A Queer Bill of Lading. They were sitting around the fire in a committee room at the Capitol the other day, and the subject of liquors came up. They had started by talking about gqod and bad whisky, and the decadence of the palmy days of old when all whisky was good, only some whiskies were better than others, “I had some whisky once that was 100 years old,” said one man. Every one was silent and all looked at him with envy unut- terable in their faces. “But it was when I was a boy,” he added sadly, “and I didn’t appreciate it as I should have done. “It was in the old country,” he said, “and one branch of our family owned a distil- lery. It was their custom to keep one bar- rel of whisky every year and store it away. It came about, therefore, that one barrel had remained in the cellar for 100 years, and when it was opened they sent my father a keg. I got some of it, and remember it Was mighty good; but, oh, if I just had a chance at that keg now. Regret at the Lost Opportunity. The audience groaned in sympathy with him at the regret of the lost opportunity, and thought what a blessed thing it would be if Time could but turn backward in its flight and give them all that boy’s oppor- tunity with their present thirst and powers of appreciation. Then came a pause, in which they sat gazing pensively into the fire with that far- away look in their eyes suitable to such an occasion. “You don’t get even pure whisky now,” one of the experts finally said, “let alone talking about good whisky. Why, these manufacturers can take a barrel of raw stuff, and, by the aid of their essential oils, flavoring extracts and coloring matter, can turn out, in a short time, a barrel of ap- parently five-year-old wnisky. It’s perfect- ly scandalous. A man don’t know what he is drinking these days. Why, they've got so now that they can age whisky by the use of electricity, and you can’t tell the dit- ference to save your life. They can manu- facture their whisky out of these ingre- dients and will turn you out rye, bourbon, Sour smash, or anything you want, all out of the same barrel.” How Liquors Are Doctored. “Why, yes, they can make port wine out of rhubarb,” put in another of the sharps, “and it makes good wine, too. As for log- Wood, that’s a common thing in making port wine.” “1 guess the greatest deception is used in the manufacture of sherry,” remarked the first man. “You know they used to say that all of the gardens in England were fenced with the staves of claret casks. You can hardly tind a stave now, for the people use sherry instead of claret. ‘The province in Spain which 1s credited with furnishing the bulk of the sherry of the world is not large enough to produce the sherry used in Spain alone. The sherry consumed in Eng- land is made at London. There on the | docks are immense wine houses where they | produce sherry. It is put in casks, loaded aboard steamers and carried away to the islands, whence, after a brief stay and with out even unloading, it is brought back, properly branded as Spanish sherry, and gulped down by the Britons in the firm be- lief that they are getting genuine Amon- tillado. “That's the same way with these Hun- garian wines. You never get a drop of the best Hungarian wines in this country, simply because the rich people over there know a good thing when they see it, and they drink the whole output of the dis- trict themselves. The alleged royal wines that we get are only good brands of claret or Burgundy.” “I don’t see what a man wants to drin those foreign concoctions for, anyhow, said the second man, “when he can get the | native American wines, that are surely | pure, so cheaply. New York, Virginia, Cai- | {fornia, Ohio and North Carolina are ail producing excellent red and white wines that are both tasteful and healthful.” Some Old Madet “I read an interesting consular report the other day about Madeira wine.” said one of | the men. “The Island of Madeira produced | nearly 700.000 gallons of wine in 18. The | consul says that wine can be bought in Ma- deira from 80 cents per gallon to $30. He says there is some wine there of the vintage | of 1755, the year that Lisbon was destroyed | by earthquake, but the wine is in posses- | sion of several Portuguese gentlemen, who would not part with it for love or money.” “I don't blame ‘em.” said the chorus, “Just think,” put in the first man, “of Madeira 138 years old,” and he cast his eyes heavenward with a rapturous glance. A Queer Bill of Lading. “They used to export something else besides wine from Madeira in those day: continued the first man, and he reached down from a sheif the consular re- port. “Here is a bill of lading dated Ma- deira, September 11, 1761: Shipped by the Grace of God, in good Order and well Con-| dition’d by: Newton & Gordon in and upon the good Ship called the: Fame.—whereof is | Master, under God, for this present Voy-| |age: Viner Leaycraft and now riding at | Anchor, in the Road of Funchal and by | God's Grace bound for: New York—to say: | One negro man named York, consigned to Wm.

And when | | ther met they looked at each other in the} greatest surprise, as though they had not | seen each other for a long time. soe THE COURTS.

A bevy of pretty girls, more than a hun- dred shivering foot ball enthusiasts and eleven disappointed “contestants for the leather” awaited in vain yesterday after- noon for the Western foot ball team to make an appearance at Y.M.C.A. Park, the occasion being the scheduled date for the first meeting between the Easterns and Westerns. The Easterns were on the field with their heaviest team and everything was in readiness for the game, which was to have been called at 3:30 o'clock. Shortly before 4 o'clock Mr. Bradley, the manager of the team that never came, put in an ap- pearance an stated that the Westerns would be unable to play the game, owing to the injuries several of the players had received in Saturday's game with the Centrals. This is the second time the Capitol Hill boys have been disappointed in playing scheduled games, and it is the general opinion among the pupils of all the schools that defeat anticipated by the other teams in bo cases. The foot ball team at the Business held a meeting after school yesterday afternoon and discussed the advisability of immediate- ly securing dates with the teams from the other schools. It was decided to meet each of those teams in one game only and to play them in the following order: Western, Eastern and Central, the last named team being considered by the commercial boys as the strongest of all. sir. Wilson and Mr. Richmond had a taik with the represe nta- tives from the Western shortly after the meeting, and it was arranged to play the game with that team in the latter part of the week, probably on Saturday. A pro- posal from the Baltimore College team, to the effect that the game arranged with that team for the 13th should be transferred to Thanksgiving day, when one of the base ball parks could be secured and a larger attendance promised, was also discussed and approved of at the meeting. Mr. Wil- kenning sent in his resignation as man ager of the Business team, which was ac- cepted, and Mr. Claxton was elected to fill the vacancy. Mr. Richmond was given a hearty welcome when he made his appear- ance at the meeting and expressed his in- tention of being “one of the boys” again. Mrs. Walton's Indian club squad of young ladies at the Western assembled in the play room this afternoon and went through with the regular program of exercises. It has been decided that drills will take place each Wednesday afternoon after school. A male octet has been organized at the Business recently, under the direction ot Mr. Daniels, and yesterday morning gave gentlemen are capable-of doing in the music ilne, at the regular morning exercises The young gentlemen are: Daly and Pierce, first tenor: Daniels nd Muth, second tenor; Tracy ‘and Claxton, — bass; and Lewis and Robinson, second 88. Miss Wescott, principal of the Western, has returned to her classes after an ab. sence of a few days in Baltimore. tne “Commonwealth” met at the Eastern this afternoon, and there were joint dis. cussions between the young ladies and gen- tlemen as to the proper form of legislation to be adopted in the Senate and House. Mr. Heady introduced several amendments to the present constitution, which were : p- proved. ‘The young ladies, forming the House, made several nominations for the officerships, but no definite arrangement will be made until next Wednesday. Company H will take up the guns tomor- row afternoon, the same as the other com- panies, and will follow the same program 4s followed at the other schools in connec- tion with the manual of arms. Mr. David Lattimer has given up his po- ition as teacher in Latin at the Mastern and has accepted a teachership at. the Maury School on Capitol Hill, He made a number of frieuds in the High School dur- ing his short stay at the Eastern, and grece GR Gonnected with the school re- grets the change.

From the American Wotuan’s Mlustrated Journal, 1 read somewhere the other day that this winter's new gowns will have a wadded lining reaching a foot or more above the hem, te prevent cold or rheumatism, which is today a general complaint among my sex. Very many women are unquestionably victims to aching limbs, but now I learn the physicians call this trouble hysterical knees, or that it is an affection of the nerves centered at that joint. Certain it is that in this cold climate women do gO about insufficiently protected, just as chil- dren did before their long leggings were in- troduced. Again and again, with shoulders weighted under furs, with heavy coat, muff, boa and veil, they will go out in a smali blizzard having nothing stouter than a silk stocking guarding ankle to knee. It may be one of those pretty inconsistencies that make women so charming, but } am satis- fied one thickness of flannel would rout all the hysteria in all the knees now caus- jing the owners so much discomfort. eee Marie Antoinette’s From the Lewiston Journal. There is a building in Edgecomb, an old square, white house, concerning which an interesting story is told. This tradition is that at the time of the French revolution Capt. Samuel Clough, the owner of the house, who sailed a ship between Maine and France, was engaged to bring to this country no less valuable treasure than the unfortunate queen, Marie Antoinette, and that quantities of rich stuffs, furniture and silver were put aboard his ship for the use of the exile, whose destination was to have been this same house, which then stood in Westport, it having been removed to the main land on a raft sixty years ago. It is yet occupied by Capt. Clough’s descendants. One circumstance which lends confirma- tion to this story is that a similar legend attaches to a house in Dorchester, Mass. the famous Swan mansion, then owned by Col. Swan, who spent much of his time in Paris, but who settled permanently in this country after the French revolution, his house being adorned in princely fashion. Now, Capt. Clough and Col. Swan had money dealings together in Paris, Capt. Clough in 1794 having had a contract to pur- e Refuge. | chase $50,000 worth of lumber for the col- onel. What more likely than that Col. Swan, who was a warm friend of Lafay- ette, should have engaged the Maine cap- tain to aid him in a plan of such great im- portance as the attempted rescue of the French queen, with which he is credited? see.
