purposes, furnished another cor vsnient ipstru
meat. A heavy weight was fastened 10 on,
end Of rope, some 800 feet in length, snc
the rope run over pull y At the top Of ths
crane. The weight was then elevated to the
'op, and the box With its wedges placed di
rectly beneath. The parties st the other end
500 feet distant, let the weight suddenly
down upon the wedges. A dsafening sxplo
sion, equal to that of cannon, followed. A
column Of fre and smoke shot up into the air
and the box was hurled in fragments among
the rocks which had purpossly been placed
around it. An after examination Of these

few days since Hodgs is now held upon TWO
indictments--one for assault with intent 10
murder, and the other for conspiracy with iu.
tent TO murder The theory being that Hodge
had an accomplice in the usn,aclion, who
expressed the machine from New York,
aud being conscience stricken. sent the an
onymous letter to WbippIs informing him
Of the danger. The bail in each case is set
At $4,000, which Hodge has not yet procur-
ed.
The authorities claim that the handwriting
OF the letter found upon the box is Identical
with that OF Hodges, and assert that they
