began yesterday to excavate In the rear yard
OF the house at 24o South Fifth street VIII
liamsburRh. Tho house is on the south side
OF the street. about eighty yards east Of
Roebling street The excavation made is
about thirty feet from the rear bound
ary OF tho lot and Is eight feet In
diameter and four feet deep. At the bottom Of
the hole a flooring OF cement was placed. and
near by there was placed square stone three
feet In diameter and ten inches thick, with
four holes drilled in the upper corLer. In the
street In front Of the house several loads Of
ruhble stone were dumped yesterday.
The company, In beginning Its work In VIII
liamsburRh. did not have to go to the courts TO
condemn and appraise the property Il desired
initially, as the house and lot at 24O was
bought from Congressman Thomas +. Magner
OF Kings county. The purchase. IL was said.
was made recently. Tho house is a three story
brick and Is partly tenanted. The purchase OF
the house has saved the company many COM
pllcations.
The company was presumably hastened in
its work by a bill which state senator Owens
OF Kings county recently introduced repeating
the charter OF the company unless it began
some kind Of work to show Its good faith.

THE REDMOND MANIFESTO

ROME. March 9.-One Of the men taken
to the hospital after being found wounded
on the Piazza di Monte Citorio, after the
explosion yesterday evening Of the bomb
in the front of the chamber of deputies,
died this morning
The rolice no longer doubt that the bomb
was hidden IN high hat and was intended
to be exploded in the chamber of deputies.
and the conspirators might have succeeded
in attaining their object had it not been
that the chamber adjourned earlier than
usual owing to the fact that Premier Crispi
was suffering from a cold and was there
fore unable to answer the many questions,
notice of which had been given to the
government.
The authorities express the belief that the
bomb carrier, seeing the last Of the
deputies leaving the chamber, judged that
1t would be useless to attempt to enter that
building, and so exploded the deadly missile
on the Piazza di Monte Citorio.
The police also claim that there is no
doubt that the explosion was the work OF
anarchists, who had been reused to action
by the fact that the deputies yesterday
devoted considerable time to discussing the
great socialist labor society, Deputy Felice
Giuffrida of Catania, who is said to have
nad a great deal to do with the recent agi-
tation in Sicily.
Two other sufferers from the explosion
now in the hospital are much worse today.
One of the patients had his leg amputated
this morning.

NOT YOUNG WEBSTER,

The Corpse Found i'm the Seine at
Suresnes.
PARIS, March 9.-There is no truth in the
sensational story printed in the Journal de
Paris of today suggesting that the decom-
posed body Of a young man who was found
caught in the weir at Suresnes on the Seine
was that of Edward Webster, the American
school boy who has been missing since
the holidays.
Edward Webster, whose mother, Mrs.
Theodore N. Conkling, lived at No. "a West
10th street, New York, left the st. Lazare
railroad station, Paris. last New Year eve
for Colombes, six miles from Paris, and has
not been seen since.
Young Webster was the only son of the
late John p. Webster, who was known on
the New York produce exchange as Jack
Webster, and who upon his death, five years
ago, left an estate of about 100000, which
the missing lad would have inherited on at
tanning his majority. Young Webster was
only seventeen years of age, but, as he was
six feet two inches tall and weighed $50
pounds, he looked several years older. The
missing school boy was famous as young
athlete, played on the foot ball team at
Phillips Academy and spent two years
preparing for the United States Naval Acad-
envy at Annapolis.

The Globe this afternoon, discussing the
address which Mr.. John Redmond, NJ. P,

the faithful few who refused to desert
their leader know perfectly we'll that the
dropped and that the unholy compact be-
tween the McCarthyites and Mr.. Gladstone
will not advance their cause, while the only
result has been that Of causing Mr. Glad
stone to leave the Irish party in the lurch
If. personally, 1t has been satisfactory to
them ii has done nothing for the dollar
providers and unless something is DONE
Mccarthy, Sexton, Dillon and Company
will find their occupation gone"
The Chronicle says: "Our columns have
seldom contained anything more foolish
than the Redmond manifesto. If the Irish
representatives generally take this line home
rule will not come before the squaring of
the circle"

PHILADELPHIA, March 9.-Rev. VIM
r. Mcneil. now pastor of the Baptist
Church at Emporium, Pa, has fallen heir
to a $4,000 farm and his daughter to $25,-
600 worth of property under unusual cir
cumstances. While in Jersey City last fall
he noticed an old lady standing in the street
apparently in trouble. She had dropped her
spectacles in the mud and several packages
in her arms prevented her picking them up.
Boys stood on the sidewalk making sport of
her, and she was greatly exercised. Mr.
Mcneil picked up the spectacles, wiped
them off and presented them to her. She
asked for his name and address. The lady
died recently and bequeathed to Mr. Nc
Neill farm near Bridgeton, N. j., and to
his daughter several houses in Bridgelon
