went to a neighbours house IN the village to
spend the afternoon, leaving the house securely
locked. About 3 o'clock shock and laundering
defamation alarmed the village. An hour later.
while the amazed town people were bewildered
by speculation and doubt, a messenger arrived
from Mr. Jones's home, bearing the news that the
house had been blown into atoms through Some
mysterious agency, and that inasmuch as the
family could not be found, it was presumed to
have persisted in the explosion. Soon after the
excited people began to arrive upon the

his wife and children, put in their
appearance The house and contents were scat
tered In fragments over an area OF 500 yards
square. Half the original height of four walls
was left standing, with saw-tooth and splin-
tered fringe all around the irregular top of the
oblong. Two beds were found several hundred
yards apart, one in the road in front of the
house. A sewing machine was buried head first
in the flower garden. and broken chairs, tables,
pictures, dishes and wearing apparel and various
household articles were Strewn about the place

glycerine could have been exploded, faint,

finding of the family cat in the branches of a
tree fully fifty feet from the house. 1t is now
surmised that the cat caused the disaster by
pushing from the table some article sufficiently
heavy to explode the nitro glycerine, which was
placed on the floor
