ABONB EXPLODES AT ROME
Two Persons Dangerously and Several
Seriously Injured.

The Scene of the Explosion Directly
in Front of the Chamber of Deputies.
The Deputies Had Adjourned an
Hour Before it Occurred-The Ex-
element Intense and Other Explo-
sions Feared by the Police.
Rome, March S.-About o'clock this
afternoon terrific explosion of a bomb
occurred in front of the Chamber of Dep
uties. Two persons were dangerously
, and several less seriously injured. The
| bomb must have been charged with mate
rial of very highly explosive force, as
every window for some distance around
was shattered, ratings were twisted,
heavy stones moved from their places and
many evidences of the tremendous power
of its contents were apparent. Many of
those injured were cut by fragments of
broken glass, but others were hurt some
of them badly, by being thrown violently
to the ground, or against buildings,
stones, etc.
The excitement is very great. The pc
lice are on the alert to catch the mis-
creant who threw the bomb, and his &C
completes, if he had any. The police are
fearful that other explosions will occur
before the bomb throwers are caught.
The chamber of deputies had ad journed
an hour before the explosion took place,
otherwise it is likely that several per-
sons would have been killed, as the num-
Der in the vicinity of the chamber was at
least four times greater an hour earlier
than it was at the time the bomb ex-
ploded.
SEVERAL ARRESTS MADE.
Rome, March S, II D. m.-The police
say this evening that eight persons were
wounded seriously by the explosion. Two
men and two women and several other
Z persons have been arrested on suspicion
of having been implicated in the plot
Soon after the explosion troops were
stationed on the piazza di CitOrio, and in
the streets leading to the open space be-
fore the parliamentary building. This
evening all the streets in the neigh Dor
hood are dOubly patrolled.
The bumb was concealed in an old silk
hat. The fragments indicate that the
explosives had been loaded into a tin box
about long enough to fill the hat crown
A deep hole was dug in the ground be-
meath the bomb and the pavement for
hundred yards from the spot was strewn
with glass.
One of the persons injured by the ex-
plosion is believed TO be dying.
The Diritto says the prisoner suspected
OF having placed the bond is a stonemason
named PolidOri.
The parliamentary buildings will be
guarded all night
Military and special watchmen have
been stationed at the Offices of the gov
eminent departments.

A Curious Case Of insanity.

Waycross, Ga, March S.-"Speaking
of queer cases of insanity said a gen
tleman to-day reminds me Of a very
singular case in the community where !
used TO live. 1t was that of a Miss Is
Their Mcdonald She lived with two sis
tiers, all unmarried, on an estate owned
equally by them. Miss Esther was 20
years old, and pretty, had been disap-
pointed in love and became more and
more moody as the days passed by.
The sisters attended to the man
agement of the affairs of the
estate and nothing disagreeable
occurred, until one day when well sweep
was being erected. Miss Esther ordered
the men TO ADJUST the sweep so it would
point north and south. Her sisters OBJ
1ected to that arrangement, and said it
should be east and west. The sweep was
accordingly put up on the east and west
plan. The younger sister, Miss Esther,
vowed that if she was disappointed in
her wishes about the sweep she would
never utter another word while
she lived OF course, no one be-
lieved her, but they soon discovered
that she was a monomaniac on the sui
ject. or twenty years she did not utter
a word. She was speechless until death
Without a word she breathed her last.
The case attracted much attention in the
community"

A NEW RACE COURSE.
A Plan to Build One just East of the
City.

Olty.
A movement has been started by a num-
Der of gentlemen interested in horses aud
lovers of sport, for the organization of a
Gentlemens Driving Park Association in
Savannah, with the object of building a
race course, with stables and all neces-
sary accessories, at some point in close
proximity to the city.
There has been no organized effort in
favor of the movement, but it has met
with such favor wherever spoken of as to
give almost certain assurance that it can
be successfully carried out. The move
ment grew out of that to locate the new
baseball park in the southeast
ern suburbs of the city, at the
intersection of Waters road and
Anderson street extended. 1t was i'm
meuiately suggested that instead of a
base ball park simply, the site was an ad-
mirable one for the location Of a.first class
pleasure ground, with race track, base
ball park and other things of similar
character, and perhaps, eventually, a
fair ground. The only obstacle in the
way is the cost Of the land, which was
purchased about two years ago by a
small syndicate headed by Mr.. j.
=. Collins, at a very handsome
figure for suburban real estate. These
gentlemen have been seen, however, and
have stated their willingness to make
reasonable terms either for the sale or
lease of the land
The site is the old Gel! & Quint tract,
and comprises thirty acres lying north of
the line of Anderson street extended and
west of Waters avenue.
The tract is about 500 feet east and
west by 1,500 feet north and south.
1t is level as a floor almost,
high enough to be easily drained
and the soil is of hard clay and sand
making it especially suitable for hard,
easy track. The great trouble with all
the race tracks that have been built
around Savannah heretofore Is that they
were too heavy.
The stablemen of the city are very much
in favor of the scheme. They are in re
ceipt of numerous communications every
season from northern horsemen who wish
to come south with their horses, and desire
to know if suitable accommodations can
be secured here for their stock with a
good track convenient for training. The
stablemen have been compelled to answer
these inquiries in the negative. A promi-
merit horse dealer said yesterday that not
less than one hundred horsemen with their
racing stock would visit Savannah every
winter if suitable track and stable accom-
modations were TO be had.
The horse dealers are also very much
in favor of the scheme, because they
would then have track convenient to
the city on which to display the qualities
of their horses for the benefit of intend
ing purchasers. 1t is estimated that
company with capital
stock of at least $4,000
will be necessary to carry out the pro-
posed plan successfully. Several business
men have already stated their willingness
to subscribe for nearly half this amount,
and it is believed that there will be no
difficulty in securing the remainder if the
matter if properly pushed.

BAINBRIDGE's NICKEL CLUB.
A Rare Treat Given the Citizens al
the Opera House.

cambridge, Ca, March s.-The citizens
of the Oak City enjoyed a rare treat at
the opera house last evening, the oc-
casion being the eighth anniversaryo of the
Nickel Club. A. L. Townsend, promi-
nent young attorney of this place, de-
Iyered the opening address which was
a splendid effort.
The following named officers were
elected to serve for the ensuing year:
president, Miss Clara Bruton, vice presi-
dent, Mrs. L. I. Hines, secretary, Miss
Patrick, treasurer. Mrs. A L. HAYES.
Following the election of officers, the
programme for the evening was entered
INTO, consisting of songs, recitations and
tableaux. The entertainment was a sue
cess, each one of the participants doing
well their respective parts, and reflects
great credit upon the management and
the mem bers of the club
The recitations of Miss Gertrude Har-
rell and Miss Rosa Lee Litchtenstadder
were especially good and well rendered,
and ELECTED much applause and many
compliments for the young ladies. A
neat sum for the club was realized.

oLARKE's oRooKEDNEss.
In Addition to Selling the Privileges
He Pocketed the Firms Cash.

DE FocEeted the Firm s Cash.
I New York, March Sherman Clarke,
of the firm of Hunter, Clarke 81 Jacob,
which failed yesterday, has not been seen
by either of his partners since last Sun
day. Last Saturday the rise
in sugar began, which eliminated
on Tuesday Is points above it's
start. Clarke had sold calls on sugar
right and left most of them were under
9Jaud some were as low as 81 BY Sat
urday the last figure had been passed and
it is thought Clarke, knowing that he
had wrecked his firm, took fight then
On Monday these privileges began to
pour in upon the astonished members of
the firm. They were in regular form and
bore the firms signature All of them
carried handsome profits to their holders.
The firm paid out as long as its bank ac-
count lasted, but was finally compelled TO
assign.
PoCKETED THE FIRMS MONEY.
It is also alleged that Clarke had on
Saturday, and before, drawn large sums
of money from the firms bank account
without the knowledge Of his partners,
and put the proceeds in his pocket. He
did not use the firms check book for
this purpose but utilized the ordi-
nary blank checks left on the
counters of banks for the use of
customers. Assignee Hunter declined to
say how much was taken in this way
The amount is exceedingly large, and
moreover, Clarke appears to nave over
drawn his private account with the firm
to the tune of thousands dollars. What
he has done with all this money his part
ners 10 not know.
EMBEzzLED THE OTHER MONEY.
Besides the money already mentioned,
he also DOCEetpd everything received for
the sale of the fatal privileges. The firm
got not a cent for these, and the books
have no record of their sale. He had no
au&hority whatever to sell these privi-
leges for the account of the firm, and
never told his partners he was doing
50. 1t appears so far that the remaining
assets OF the firm exceed its liabilities
The figures are not yet made up, but
enough is known to indicate this outcome.
Nor as yet, can the amount of the loss in
yolged through Clarke's peculiar work be
definitely known.
