New YORK, June 10.-Three startling
explosions, which have just occurred,
have completely blown up Renson's liquor
saloon on Thames street. The debris was
hurled in all directions, and some half q
dozen people are badly cut and hurt.
Joseph Renson, owner of the place, was
found beneath the debris in a cellar, ter
ribly burnt and mangled. He had sat on
a rs pound key of powder and exploded it.
He had two such kegs, with which he told
the City Marshal that he intended to blow
up himself and his place because every
body was after him. A razor was found
covered with blood by his side. The fire
brigade quickly extinguished the flames.
Renson is at the hospital, suffering terri
BILE agony and slowly dying. Delirium
tremens is given as the cause for his novel
yet determined act.
