describing how London was de

chist" with a flying machine whisl
shswered dynamite bombs, sho
and she'll and blazing petroleum
upon the city. After relating how
the bssisgsrs smashed an irenslac
at sea a. a sort of preliminary
experiment, the nsvslist, Mr.. Z
W. Fawcstt, gives the following
vivid description of how the work
Of destruction was begun:
THE RAIN OF DYNAMITE.
The "Attils," in which Hart
man the anarchist returned to
take vengeance apon Londsn,
SCARED like q great vulture absvs
the slock tower, the blood. rsds flag
being unfarled at its stern, with
the legend, "rhus srsturns Hart
mann the Anarchist" amid salute
of foar quick firing guns. A great
labor demonstration was being
held at the time and the process
sisn was crsssing Westminster
Bridge. When the flag was un-
furlsd Hartman scared aloft and
cruissd around high above the
eisek tower in large circles. The
story proceeds: "Onss more the
quick firing gaas vomitsd fame,
and this time the charge was not
blank. Aud ningling with their
almost continuous rear, there new
CANE a crash of appalling magni-
tade, shaking the very rssessss OF
ones brain. Another and another
followed, till the air seemed to
beat in waves upen - ans our
ears hseams vsritabls torture
sha "a bsrs. Thsn followed 4 rattle
like that of a landslip. l looked
over to start bask with a shrek.
Horror Of horrors, the tower had
fallen ON the crowd. bruisins into
jelly legion Of buried wrstchss
and beating into rsias the whole
mass OF buildings opposite. Every
outlst from the neighberhsod was
being ,uriously fought for, hordes
Of screaming, shrleking Madmen
were falling, crashing aad stamp
ing their victims into heaps, and
with tho growth OF each writhing
heap the ghsstly confusion grew
also. OF the Houses Of Parliment
plnnaclss were callapsing and
walls were being rivsn asundsr as
the shells burst within them.
"But this spectacle, erevious Of
its kind, was as nothing to the
other. With eyes rivlted now to
the massacre, / saw frantie womea
troddsn down by mes; huge clear
inss made by tas shells and
filled up; house frsnts
crushing horses and yshielss as
they fell; frss bursting out on all
sides, to dsvour what they listed,
and terrified peliss struggling
wildly and helplessly in the heart
of the press. Ths roar Of the guas
was ssntiuusus. and every nissils
found it's billet"
THE DKLUGE OF PETROLEUM.
After spending the morning in
dsvasting Westminster, the
'Attila" turned her course east
ward asd devoted the afteraeon to
the destruction of the city, The
Tower was the first to be destroyed,
thsH a tempest of bombs fell upsn
the banks and the Steek Exchange,
while st. PauPs dsma was riddlsd
with shot and fell with q fiightful
crash. Up 10 this time no injury

srsw was shot through the throat,
and in revenge Hartmann decided
to let lesse a tank oil blazing
petroleum upon the meb: "Dswn
