Mr.. Dunlap stated that the work would

What Was It?

A representative OF TIE TIMES was
attracted TO the second story of tho
Wright block yesterday morning by an
conversation. A curious looking ma
chine in front of DR.. Stones door was
the central object of interest. An OK
animation by experts resulted in the
opinion that it was the DOCTORS pill ma
chine. In fact the machine was
labelled to this effect, but the doctor
repealed the soft insinuation. There is
a slight suspicion that it was Morris
Joe's patent potato-slicing machine.

LONDON, Dec. G.-Thc attempt upon

ing topic of conversation In London.
The newspapers comment uponit In the

is tho only morning paper, owing TO the
~latencss OF tho hour ut which the news
was received, that refers to 1t. The
Ntrs declares that tho story Is "thc
most terrible and alarming IL has ever
been II lot 10 publish" Says the
Nctrs:
sage's escape Is almost miraculous,
and but Tor 1t tho cause OF MI explosion,
which alarmed the whole city, would
never have been known. There would
have been no reason TO believe that any
unusual crime had been committed.
and the calamity would probably have
been attributed to an explosion OF gas.
This is still n possible interpretation,
for 1t Inns Ditch been found that mon
who have boon suddenly injured and
lost consciousness have been under Il
completely false impression. .
The evening newspapers have all
something to say about the tragedy.
Tho ~. james Gazette astltely suggests
that TO attempt any explanation OF the
strange and mysterious story which
comes from New York would be gratui-
tous FOLLY" and that Engllshlnen may
console themselves with the thought
that incidents which are OF daily occur
