OF the police, was utterly wrecked at
$40 o'clock tonight by bomb explo-
sion.

was terrific and widely felt, and an
enormous crowd quickly gathered about
the shattered building.
The police on entering found Nj. Very
lying on the.noor OF the restaurant In the
midst OF heaps OF debris, groaning with
fright aud pain.
One Of his legs had been broken, and
he was sent 10 hospital where II has
been found necessary TO amputate has

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 95.-Thele
Is a curious situation in the Harrison
camp. Distrust and suspicion seems to
be ripe among his supporters. They
are divided into two sections. One sec
tiOn has been saying for some time that
Harrison is not anxious for renOmina-
tion unless it comes to him without a
struggle and with practical unanimity;
that If the party does not think he has
earned this favor, he would step down
ard out rather than do anything that
would leok like forcing himself as a
candidate on the Minneapolis conven-
tion.
10 was this section, too, that gave out
the intimation the other day that Hsr-
risOn, being convinced that the secret
opposition to him would make such a
nomination as be desires impossible,
has practically made up his mind not TO
be a candidate.
The other section, who claim 70 be the
only genuine Harrison men, say the
former, while assuring the President Of
their loyalty and support, and securing
faVors from him, are at heart hostile
20 him and wish to see him
sidetracked. It is for this purpose,
section No. says, that section No has
circulated reports about Harrison in
tending 70 withdraw in order to shake
the confidence Of the rank and file Of
his supporters.
Members Of section No. . assert that
Harrison will not withdraw and that
there is no reason why he should. He
has already, they claim, majority Of
the delegates 20 the Minnea-
polls Convention and when that
body meets the men who are
now fighting him, will be glad enough
TO come In out OF the wet aud support
him. Altogether, il is an amusing state
Of affairs, and an outsider has a hard
time telling who really are HarrisOn's
sure-enOugh friends and entitled 70
sneak for him.

this morning, shot his wife and Edward

cause of the tragedy was jealousy. Nc
Clelland has been boarding with the
Moores for several months, and Moore
has long suspected his wife OF inidelity.
This morning he returned from work
and found his wife at the sewing ma
chine. Without warning he drew a re-

rushed into McClelland's room where he
was sleeping and shot him, inflicting a
dangerous wound, after which he went

THE "HERALD's" VIEW
or the Reading Coal CombIne-An inex-
cusable Affair.


New YORK, April 25.-The Herald
devotes one page to-day TO the Reading
combination, and this is its own double
loaded summary OF the matter.
The combination has been In active
existence three weeks.
''In the great Lehigh Valley coal re-
gion it has thrown $4,000 men out OF
their employment half OF the time.
'In the flourishing cities OF the lower
valley IL has deprived 1000 workmen OF
half OF their employment and save d
from their wages $4,000.
"Its restriction OF the coal product Is
a sure forerunner OF the coming ad-
vance OF coal prices, which Is TO In
crease the cost Of manufacturing In all
the Eastern States. the price OF manu-
factures for the whole tountry, and the
cost OF living for the people OF New
York.
THE only cause for all this disturb
ance OF business and misfortune TO the
people is an attempt to make an unprof-
table railroad pay excessive dividends
for two other railroads, which II has no
right to possess"
