FRIGHTENING THE CELEsTIALs.-F Friday
night a loud explosion, shaking the build
ings in the vicinity, occurred on Sixth
street, between II and /, but as there had
been a great deal of shooting that dav
New 1ear's), not much attention was paid
to 1t. Saturday morning, however, sew
eral pieces OF gas-pipe, torn and twisted
were found in front of Sam Lees wash
house. where the explosion occurred. The
fragments showed that the pipe had formed
two tombstone about a foot long and the
other five inches-each piece of pipe being
closed at the ends with caps, such as are
used by plumbers for the purpose, a hole
being drilled for the insertion of a fuse.
AS an explosion was heard in the same
locality New Years day, it is presumed
someone threw tie smaller bomb upon
the sidewalk then. and the larger one in
the evening. Friday night a charge of
shot was fired through the wash house
sign. Evidently whoever was operating
desired to friShten the occupants Of the
premises, instead of hurting them, as the
bombs could have been thrown through
the windows of the house at night, or so
placed as to do more damage than they
could possibly do on the sidewalk. The
bombs were manufactured in the same
manner as those found in the possession of
the San Francisco dynamiters recently ar
rested.

company with some friends was walking

rifle ball came whizzing by, in close prox-
unity to his head, and buried itself deeply

I and Z streets. A large quantity of water is
accumulated at that point, and reckless
boys and men amuse themselves there on
Sundays shooting at mud hens and other
water fowl. Unless the police suppress
this unlawful shooting, it will be hardly
safe for any one to visit the cemetery on
the Sabbath.
