What they considered as @ good Fourth of July Joke accounted for the appeara in the Morrisanta Police Court this morning of John Crozier, thirty-five old, a truckman; Charles Vance, twenty-three years old, 4 carpenter, und Edward Fehring, nine- teen years old, a paper hanger. ‘The trio were charged by Nicholas Taral, proprietor of the “Swan's Inn’? at Unlonpori, in the annexed district, with malicious mischief, Taral, who i# the. brother of Fred Taral, the weli-known jockey, sald he Was awakened at 3 o'clock this morning by a terrific explosion that shattered all the windows in his hotel.

He quickly mounted a horse and pur- sued the men in the direction of West- chester village, where he attracted the attention of a policeman and the three mon were arrested. At the same moment Jacob Sohl, who. keepa a road house near that of Taral, also ran up, He said that the men had tried to blow up his house, and that the windows of his place had also been shattered by the explosion. His wife, he said, was in a critical com. dition on account of the shock. The three men denied having been the cause of the explosions. They said they had neither dynamite nor firecrackers in their possession. - The police, in making a search of both buildings, were inclined to believe that dynamite had been used, and they de- cided to have an expert investigal The men were taken to the station, and afterwards in court were remanded until to-morrow morning for examina- tion.

He in employed by the firm of Bownes & Fer- ris, who handle all such kinds of ma- terial, and he is eald to have frequent ly “had fun" with it before.

Sohl has had many diMculties with a number of men, and many quarrels have taken place there. Once before the place was wrecked, Taral's roadhouse, on the contrary, has always been quiet, and neither the owner nor his brother is known to have had an enemey in the vicinity.
