Consequences.
North Scituate. Mass, July 24.-An
attempt was made to blow up kono-
hassett hall last night while relig-
ious meeting was in progress. The hall
has been used for some time for a Sc
ries of evangelical meetings. Last
night, while the meeting was in progress
a loud explosion startled the worship
pers and caused a panic. No one was
seriously hurt, however, but all the
glass in the. building was shattered.
An examination showed that explo-
sives had been put beneaah a corner Of
the building and had shattered the
woodwork in its immediate vicinity. 1t
Is thought dynamite was used. and the
ignorance Of how to place 1t saved a
worse wreck, and probably Injury to
many.

Governor Hastings Compliment.
The governor is said to have declared
that the Third brigade was superior in
every respect to the First. This is un-
derstood to be quite an admission, as
their relations are apparently strained,
as General Goblin gave orders to the
guard to muster up any smart officer

Chicago Police Uncarth Parts OF Human
Body Believed to BE Buried by Him.

Chicag go, July 24-There were several
new and important developments in the
Holmes case here today. In the first
place a number of human bones were
dug UP by the laborers who for several
days past have been excavating in the
cellar at the house on the corner of
Sixty-third and Wallace streets. The
bones found were apparently part of
the trunk of female child. There were
eighteen ribs, a number of vertebrae
and piece Of much corroded bone,
which could not be assigned to any par
ticular part Of the body on account of
being in an advanced state of decay,
apparently from the action Of some
chemical. This bone, however, is sup
posed to be a portion of either hip or
a skull bone.
With the partial skeleton was found
a piece Of torn skirts or chemise, which
bore marks that may or may not prove
to be human blood. The sleeves of this
garment were too long for the arms OF
a child, and, although the opinion pre-
walls that the bones are undoubted
those of female child, the gown would
seem to warrant the conclusion that
they are part Of the skeleton of a wo-
man, the more SO as 1t is well known
that the bones of many women are
little larger than those of children.
The bones found this morning are be-
lieved by the central station detec-
tives to be those Of Gertrude Connor,
the daughter Of Mrs. Julia L. Connor,
who Is now believed to have been one
Of Holmes victims. Mother and daugh-
ter disappeared about the same time.
The bones were found in cornor Of the
cellar.
