a Deliberate Attempt to Blow Up q
Three-story Tenement House.
New YORK, Jan. 12.-An attempt to
blow up with two bombs the tenement
house at "a avenue ID was made, and it Is
q miracle that a great catastrophe in
volsinQ several deaths was averted.
Pincus Cans had 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 month. At 10
o'clock at night there was terrific ex
plosion in the house and an alarm of fire
was turned in by some one who saw
flames bursting forth. The whole front
of the house had been blown out by the
floor. All the glass in 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 a 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 1t had been lighted and gone out be-
fore reaching the bomb
ut was undoubtedly a bomb the pipe
being about IL inches long, 2 1-2 inches in
diameter, about three pounds of pow
der seen TO be stuffed into e. 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
safely

to the esteem with which Father Hall was
regarded. In reply Father Hall asked to
be allowed to accept the gift as a token OF
sympathy, affection and cordial sisterly
feeling with the church to which he had
been called in America. He dwelt upon
the value of the two years experience he
had had here, and said that it would en-

and America TO England. He thanked
them with his whole heart and for the re-

England praying for him and his work in
America.
