MEAN TRICK ON SAFE BLOWERS.
HoT SPRINGS, Nov. 13.--Sunday morn
ing at o'clock a terrific explosion occur
red in W. B. G. O'Brien & Co.'s store. A
policeman who entered the building dis
covered that the iron safe had been blown
open and the desks, doors, windows and
rear end of the building also blown to
fragments and heaped together in con-
fused mass. The glass in front of the store,
eighty feet distant, was shivered, and the
plastering in an adjoining store was breki
but nothing was ignited. On examination
of pieces of the safe, it was found small
hole had been drilled through the
iron and concrete lining of the top in
which the powder or fuse
was inserted. Inside the safe was
stored a quantity of dynamite caps for
blasting purposes, which were ignited and
caused the explosion. The safe contained
about $500 in paper currency, besides
coins, city and county scrip, papers and
books. Fragments of the currency were
found, but the force of the explosion drove
several coins into the adjacent wall. I'm
doubtedly an attempt had been made to
rob the safe, yet the burglars got away
safely. No traces have been found. No
serious damage done to the building.
James Burns, the Chicago walkist, and
another man, name unknown, were ar
rested tonight, suspected of attempting
to rob the safe. Burns is bruised on the
shoulders, and the circumstantial evidence
against both is considered strong.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 13.-About this af-
ternoon the boiler in the Forest City Iron

roof without partitions. The boiler was
eighteen feet long and forty-two inches in
diameter. A large part Of the roof was
torn Off and fragment of the
boiler hurled a great distance. The
cause of the explosion is unknown.
