DYNAMITE OR GLYCERINE.
One Man killed and Five Injured by Mysterious Explosion
 in Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-A dynamite bomb or a bottle of nitro-glycerine, presumably the latter, was exploded in the rear of George Litles saloon on South Clark street late Sunday night, killing one person and injur- ing five others. The dead man is Nincenzo Aifino, aged 30, whose head was almost blown off, and one man is missing.
 The Injured.
 Ruby Fox, cut about head and body by glass; taken to hospital; may die. George Mcconnell, coachman, in jured about head and body; will re- cover.
 Peter Diamond. cut about hands and arms.
 Thomas Little, bartender, bruised Edward Black, bruised.
 When the explosion occurred a score or more of persons were in the saloon, but as far as known none be- sides those mentioned was injured The rear part of the saloon waa wrecked.
 While mystery surrounds the af- fair, the police are inclined to be- lieve that the man who was killed caused the explosion. He was jealous of MeConnell's attentions to Ruby Fox.

intermittent fire from the TWO guns of
the detachment Of the Fourth Field Bat

To many OF the Guardsmen the shrek Of

boom of the field pieces was familiar.
The regular morning drill was changed
from o'clock to : O'Clock in order that
the GuardsmcH might witness the target

yard range had been measured of. The
