JEWELRY sToRE DYNAMITED.

New York, May 29.-The police have apparently made no material progress in the investigation of the mysterious explosion in the jewelry store of F. c. Gleason & Co in Harlem this morning. A small piece of battered pipe filled with brown deposit was found in the street opposite the wrecked store and the police believe it is a fragment of the bomb used in dynamiting the place. It has been suggested that some enemy of Gleason or some other tenant of the building resorted to tn bomb for re- veDge, and the police are working along that theory.

 New York, May %. Contractor John B. McDonald's $4,000,O00 bond, given by the Rapid Transit Construc- tion company, to insure the building of the subway, is missing from Comptrol- Ter Coler's office.

 'sWhy, comptroller has it." he said. ssIt was pronounced satisfactory by him and turned i'll on the day the contract was, signed last year,
