horrifying spectacle was presented. Tho
body had turned around. lying on its face,
and ID and the interior of the caskst bore
traces Of terrible struggle with death In
its most awful shape. The distorted and
blood covered features bore evidence Of
the horrible agony endured. The clothing
about the head and neck, had been torn
into shreds. as was likewise the lining of
the coffin. Bloody marks Of finger nails
on the face. throat and neck told Of the
awful despair Of the doomed man. who
tore his own flesh In his terrible anguish.
Several fingers had entirely been bitten
off, and the hands torn with the teeth un-
til they scarcely resembled those Of q
human being.

DcBLiN, Oct 21--Great excitement was
caused in the office Of The National Press,
the organ of the McCarthyites, last even
ing. The members Of the staff Of the
paper were just about to begin the nights
work when a bomb fell i'm the area In front
OF the windows on Abbey street. where
the editors rooms are situated. The bomb
exploded with = tremendous report. but
fortunately there was no one in these
rooms at the time. The window glass was
broken, the castings shattered and the
furniture in the rooms badly damaged.
The offices in the basement were also
badly damaged, and windows in the ad-
jaccnt houses were broken. The widest
rumors were spread and an enormous
crowd quickly collected. Every effort was
u,ade TO find the miscreant. but the au-
thorities thus far are without any clew.
The fumes arising from the exploded bomb
had very offensive odor.
Almost universally the credit for the
outrage is given to the Parnellites. The
explosion was heard two miles away. The
attention Of the watchmen on duty at the
time was diverted by "a sham fight be-
tween two men in the vicinity Of the
