their room, bomb shell which was on the

shockingly lacerated. She is since dead
Mr., A. had the front portion of his body
literally torn to pieces, and died in few
hours in great agony. Great excitement
prevails in the city. Full particulars have

Guilty had occurred between the two about
book some four weeks previous. One had
given the other the lie, and words had came
to blows, in which it seems that Arrison was
worsted, and vowed that {" he would be even
with him.
The Hospital building is daily visited by
citizens and strangers to examine the wreck
ed rooms caused by the sad explosion
Additional particulars are coming to light
every hour, which tend to prove that the
atrocious murderer who concocted and car
ried into execution his infamous purpose,
has been discovered. He is the same person
whom we alluded to in the latter part Of our
article yesterday, as having been one of the
students in the College of Medicine and Sur
gerry, and who was assistant surgeon in that
institution. This embryo Doctor, on Mon

the health of the institution, &C., &c; his
difficulty with Mr.. Allison on two occa-
sions, and when knocked down his threat
ening to be even with him yet;" his iden-
tification by the carpenter who made the
box; the druggist who sold him the fulmina-
ting POWDER the boys to whom he gave the
box to deliver to Mr.. Allison; and by Mrs
Thorpe, who saw him give the box to the
boys, establishes the conviction that he is
the inhuman murderer. In addition to this
he took his trunk away from his boarding
house on Sixth street on Saturday, to leave
for Iowa; but he was seen at the Gibson
House on Monday evening, and remained at
the Walnut street House during Monday
night under an assumed name. He left the
city on Tuesday morning by the way of the
Ohio and Mississippi railway, most probably
for the home of his parents and relatives in
Iowa. Marshal Ruffin has traced his where
abouts, and will leave our city this morning,
with the proper documents for his apprehen-
sion. When he is arrested we will give a
more minute detail of all the circumstances
connected with this lamentable affair. His
name is DR.. VIM. H. Arrison.
We neglected to state yesterday, that
while the workmen were cleaning up the
room where the fatal occurrence took place,
they found pistol lock which was evident
ly the means used to explode the " "infernal
machine The lock had been unscrewed
from the barrel and from the stock and then
screwed into the secret hole of the bomb
she'll. 1t was then fastened to the sides of
the box with nail, and wires so attached
to the sliding lid, that when an attempt
was made to pull out the lid, the hammer
would fly down and explode the cap, and
consequently the explosion of the she'll. The
exploded cap and the wires and nail which
were attached to the lock were also found in
the room. The lock is in the possession of
Capt. Hoke, the cord is with Marshal Ruffin,
the pieces of the box are with the Mayor,
while two large pieces of the bomb shell
are in the hands of Theodore Marsh and
Miles Greenwood.
The funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Allison took
place yesterday afternoon from the Marine
