time tho mystery in the life OF the late
Prentice Milford, who for years was his
friend and companion. Milford came
to the mines near Sonora ut the agc Of
q, and served us butcher, miner and
school teacher. lie wrote for the pa.
pers on the coast, and in 1866 was sent

At tho age of nineteen she married Null

Him for that Purpose.
WAS He DRAGGED BETWEEN
Inc Broker and tho Dynnmltcr ?..Nfr.
Sage Emphntically Denies that lilo
wns,-.rhe Story Which tho Humble
Broker Tells orsago's Sudden Cor.
duality.

New York, December lO.-A queer
story OF tho circumstances attending
the bomb explosion in Russell Sago's
Office is told by w. r. Laidlaw, the
clerk for John Bloodgood & Co., who is
still at tho St. Vincent's Hospital under
treatment for the injuries which he re.
ceived on that occasion.
According TO Mr.. Laidlaw, tho banker
only escaped serious injury, and per-
haps death, by showing him Ua,dlaw)
between himself and tho bomb.thrower
ut tho instant tho explosions. took place.
In other words, Russell Sage Is &c.
cused OF having made the poor clerk II
sort OF butler to protect himself against
the threatened assault OF tho crazy dy.
namiter.
Mr.. Sage was talking to the man, Laid
law says, when he entered the Office.
The banker seemed to BIO very nervous
and scared, and was pale and trcnb-
ling.
AS soon as no saw Laidlaw, according
to the latter, he grasped him by the
hand and shook it warmly, telling him
hc was delighted to see him, and asking
him to walk into his private office.
AS Mr.. Sage had never before evon
deigncd TO notice the humble brokers'
clerk, the latter was dumbioundcd by
this exhibition Of cordiality.
USED TIE CLERK AS A SHIELD.
The banker had grabbed Laidlaw's
hand SO tightly lint it hurt, and the
latter tried to wrench it away. Mr..
Sage began to 90 backward toward the
entrance OF his private office, dragging
l.aidlaw with him and keeping him, be-
tween himself and the bomb-thrower.
Ii was at this moment Mr.. Laidlaw is
reported as saying that the explosion
took place, and the clerk received tho
fu!l force OF the shock in his back and
side, while Mr.. Sage escaped with Il few
scratches about the head and face.
The injuries received by Laidlaw, the
hospital surgeon says, are all on his
back and side, showing that he stood
with his back to the bomb-thrower
when the explosion took place.
RUSSELL SAGE DENIES IT.
Mr.. Sage denies this story, and says
that when he had handed back the
type-writtcn document which the dYna-
inter presented to him he stepped back
ward to his office, when Mr.. Laidlaw
came forward to hand a message to
him.
He says he did not take Laidlaw's
hand, or even receive the paper which
he extended TO him, for the explosion
came SO suddenly that he had no time
to say or do anything.
SAY LAIDLAw WASN'T BETWEEN THEN.
He also says that Laidlaw did not
stand between himself and tho bomb
thrower, although the clerk had his
back turned to the latter at that mo-
ment.
Mr.. Sage himself was blown full OF
pieces OF glass and splinters, and DR..
Mum spent two or three hours alter
wards in picking the bits out OF his
body.
The identity OF the bomb-thrower,
whose head is still on exhibition at the
morguc, has not yet been established,
although several more persons have de-
clared that they have recognized him.

BOMBAY, Dec. l0.-An accident oc-

parachutist met a most horrible death

had gained quite n reputation by his
thrilling jumps from 4 balloon at n great

straining ropes the huge air ship shot

hushed, as the crowd ut once
perceived that something was wrong.
The balloon had only reached a
height OF about 400 feet when it burst
with q loud and startling explosion and
Immediately began TO fall to the earth.
Mansfield made the most desperate
efforts to disengage the parachute from
the collapsed balloon but it had become
cntanglcd in the ropes and the ~unfortu-
nate man was soon forced to release his
hold. The Mortified spectators uttered
cries OF dismay rs they saw his body
come twirling towards them, and some

sight. Mansfield struck the ground
with terrific force and was instantly
killed. His body being crushed and

An investigation into tho cause OF
