LIEGE, May "a terrific explosion
took place here in front of the resi-
dence of well-known capitalist of
this city The explosion is said to be the
work of the extremists OF the labor par
ty. Further particulars in regard to the
explosion show that dynamite cart
ridge was placed ON the doorstep of the
capitalist, and that it was then exploded
with the result that the door and win
dows of his residence opening upon the
street, together with many other win
dows looking out upon the same
thoroughfare, were shattered by the
concusSion. The explosion caused a
great panic in the neighborhood where
il took place. the latter being the most
nristocratic quarter in this city
MONS, May "a dynamite outrage,
which is placed to the account of the
labor agitators, occurred here. A
miner of this nSighborhood made
himself conspicuous by his firm
refusal to go out on strike
with the rest of the men en-
ployed with him. He was warned
that il was dangerous for him To per-
sist in this course, but he would not
strike. During the morning a dyna-
mite cartridge was in some manner
placed in his no Sc, and exploded, com
pAetely wrecking it. The police are in
vestigating the affair, but as yet they
have not made any arrests.

at those of his associates who had been
most active in bringing about his pro-

deputy yelled You are lot of varlets
worthy Of your master.

from house to house. calling upon
husbands and brothers to avenge
the dead, One woman, whose hus-
band was shot in the massacre, dipped
her hand in the blood that welled from

people appear TO be somewhat cowed
by the overwhelming number of the
troops.
