TWO BOMBS AND KEROSENE

NEW YORK, Jan. 12 An attempt to
house at 81 avenue ID was made. and 1t II
miracle that great catastrophe in
volving several deaths was averted.
Pincus Cans had a tailor shop on the
first floor and lived with his family on
the third floor; on the second floor Henry
Davis and family lived. The tailor shop
had been closed for over a month. At 10
o'clock at night there was terrific ex-
plosion in the house and an alarm Of fire
was turned in 10y some one who saw
flames bursting forth. The whole front
of the house b. cen blown out by the
explosion, wi ,uired on the first
floor. All the z a-' 30 The building was
shattered, and the shock aroused the
whole neighborhood.
Chief Ahearn of the fire department
Said 1--WE discovered that the gas
meter had exploded, but the principal ex-
plosion was due to some other cause. We
went down cellar. On entering we at
once observed trail of kerosene oil all
the way to the door. There was lot of
kerosene soaked cotton batting all over
the cellar floor, and we came upon long
piece of lead pipe. which had fuse com.
posed OF some gauze matter attached,
and the fuse was half burned, indicating
that it had been lighted and gone out be-
fore reaching the bomb.
''It was undoubtedly a bomb, the pipe
being about Is inches long, 2 1-2 inches In
diameter about three pounds Of pow.
der seen TO be stuffed into It. The
theory of the fire department is that the
other bomb, which exploded upstairs,
was placed on the little shelf behind the
gas meter, evidently with the intent Of
Disgusting the real cause of the explo-
sion."
The Cans family were at the theater
when the explosion occurred and the
other occupants Of the house got out

and is supposed to bring TO mind the util-
ity of the feathered tribes as food. On this
day all orthodox Chinese abstain from
eating flesh, and they sometimes observe
it as a day Of fasting. The second day is
cog's Day (ku-Yat). This day is es-
pecially held sacred to the canine hosts Of
the Flowery Kingdom. The Chinese, not
withstanding the fact that they eat the
flesh OF the dog and esteem il great
delicacy, honor their dogs more highly and
take better care of them than any other
race of people. Ia every large Chinese
city there Is n workman whose sole trade
is that of making collins for departed
CANNES.
The third day, Hogs Day Chen Yat), is
celebrated 10 honor OF hog that once
drew valuable manuscript out of bon
fire of trash. The fourth feast, Sleeps

himself in leaves, grass and bark Of trees.

fond OF society and Of having good time.

thing "a going beyond moderation, aud be
feared he would be compelled TO break up
and send the daughter back to Philadel-

old gentleman responded In his quiet way
that he was very sorry, as he was just on
the point Of making arrangements TO set
tie quite a sum Of money upon his daugh-
ter, realizing that he was growing old, aud
that Il must be difficult for her to sustain
her social position adequately.

An interesting "lncident' OF the career
OF the great Napoleon has been brought
TO light by Professor Rambaud, who has
Just been rewarded for his History of
Russia" with the cross OF the Legion OF
Honor. Bonaparte. M IL well known, was
at one time disgusted with the slowness
Of his promotion and entertained serious
thoughts OF directing his talents into other
channels. Now NJ. Rambaud tells MS that
Napoleon applied for service In the Rus
sian army, but that the petition, which
he had addressed TO Zaborowski, was re-
jected. ns Catherine II would not admit
foreign officers on the same standing "a
that which they occupied In their own
country. Napoleon would have had to nc
cept an inferior rank and this he refused
to do. II Professor Rambaud be correctly
Informed, and II Bonaparte had taken
service In Russia, the whole course Of the
history OF the century would have been
changed. and n whole vista Of curious pos
sibilities would have been opened. Lon
