thgushcd what FIRE there in the store with few
paik Il water. The stock on hand appeared very
issss, consisted principally Of liquors and teas, the
kqsos being in cssks which stood the floor In the
ssstsr Of the store.
Prem examination Of the premises after the
x&sBent lad in . measure subsded, il appeared evil
dent hat an attempt had been made to blow up Tue
Randing with gunpowder. The explosive material had
bsss placed between puncheon of liquor and the
stairway and lighted with slow match, the design evil
IDENTITY being TO burst the eask and ignite the liquor

s barring Of powder, was perceptble in the store for
several hours after the explosion. Capt. Leonard,

stare, bat nothing was missing the safe and desk
were untouched, and their stock was in pretty much
Ne same condition that they left il on Saturday evening

ysrpetrated this outrage is known, perhaps, only to
lAnseE Wa It for the purpose of giving him or his
ssnSeasratss opportunity to plumber, or was for
psvenest 1t could not have been to hide theft or
burglary there nothing disturbed and the doors
we're secured. The firm say that II could not be for
ssvssge ss they know Of person persons having
q feslisgs toward them, and the matter consequently
wnans enveloped In mystery. Reference WAS made
BY SEINE person who in the store and to the prop
srty being owned by the North Dutch Church Cor
yssten and being In dispute sndtt Was thought that
Ahs quarrel between the two parties might have some
Ming 70 do with the matter, but such is not likely the
sass.

arranged scheme which, had Il not proved destruc-
Eve To life, would have destroyed much valuable
property.
Fortunately no one was injured although there were
several persons within few feet of the store a: the
