BOMB FOR ROOSEVELT
A Supposed Internal Machine Mailed to
Him in the POstOffice.

bIEe UBLuAIICes
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-What is be-
lieved to have been an Internal machine
was discovered in the mailing depart
ment of the postoffice today addressed to
Theodore Roosevelt, Central police sta
tion.
The box looked suspicious and the in
vestigation disclosed a large cartridge
with fuse attached. Police headquarters
was notified and two policemen sent down
by Chief Conlin took the supposed bomb
away
On examination it appeared that some
one had been probably trying to scare
the police commissioner. There was a
shotgun cartridge in the box, but the
police officials did not think it was like
ly to do much harm.

OVER NIAGARA FALLS.
A Sail Boat Capsizes AID the Occupants
Are Drowned.


NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y, Aug. "a
small sail boat capsized yesterday after
noon above the falls and two men were
swept over to death in a very few mo-
ments. The unfortunate men were Frank
Butler, aged between forty and forty five
years, and Timothy F. Sweeney, aged
eighteen years. both employed in the
Niagara Falls Paper company, the former
as head engineer.
The men were heading for land when
a violent thunder and lightning and
windstorm swept over the river. The
first squall caught the sail boat
making for shore. Had they run
down stream and made land
ing at the head of Goat Island
they would possibly have been saved,
but there is great danger even in at
tempting that, as the boat is liable to be
sucked into either the marican or
Canadian rapids, and is then sure of
going over one or the other of the falls.
