went in to explore 1t and that the gas
ignited by the lights they carried.

Chicago, Nov. "A dynamite bomb
the weapon of a deranged assassin
blew up the home Of Joseph Kor
deck, in Chicago heights, yesterday
killing two members Of the family
outright and injuring several others
The house was set on fire and burned
while that Of a neighbor caught fire
and was also destroyed.
The dead are: Joseph Kordeck,
arms and legs blown of; Lucy Kor.
deck, aged two years, body blown ia
pieces. The injured; Mrs. Lucy Kor-
deck, flesh blown of right side, in.
jured internally, may die; seven chill
dren who escaped were injured, but
not seriously.
The explosion occurred while the
family was asleep. The father and
mother, with the daughter, Lucy, oc-
cupied a room in the front of the
cottage. On the other side were
rooms occupied by the rest Of the
family. The cottage stood two feet
from the ground on wooden posts.
The bomb was placed under the room
occupied by the parents and the i'm
pact Of the explosion tore a hole
in the floor, blew the bed to pieces,
dismembered Kordeck and scattered
into fragments the body Of Lucy, who
was sleeping with her parents. Pieces

were the largest remnants Of the
child's body that could be found.
The force Of the explosion was d.

cape from the flames, which soon de-

THE PARCELS POST.
Its Extension Favored by the A.
sistant Postmaster General.
4 UNIVERSAL POSTAGE STAMP PLAN.


Washington, Nov. 4.-The annual
report of William s. Shallenbarger,
assistant postmaster general, rec
ommends parcels post conventions
with various European governments
and a test with other countries of
a universal postage stamp plan.
Concerning the parcels post, he
says: "The average weight of par
GELS dispatched from this country
to all countries only slightly exceeds
81 pounds. The average weight of
parcels dispatched from this country
to Germany is az pounds. The do
nestle postal service of this country
does not permit the Introduction of
parcels heavier than four pounds in
weight; therefore, in view of the
fact that four pounds, as a limit of
weight, will fairly meet the require
ments of this country, I recommend
the tender of parcels post conven-
tions with England, France, Italy
and other countries of Europe, sim
liar to that now in force between
country and Germany, with the
exception that the weight of parcels
be limited to four pounds; and fur
Their recommend that six months no.
tice be given to- Germany of the de-
sire of this country to modify the
existing conventions so as to re-
iuce the weight of parcels from II
to four pounds. If promptly nego-
lated these conventions with other
countries Of Europe might have a
years test in practical operation be-
lore the universal convention on |,
1enes in Rome in 1904, at which time
he delegates from this country
would be prepared to discuss the
more intelligently."
MI. Shallenbarger recommends an
Igreement with some European gov
on q universal postage
scheme in advance Of the
'ostal congress in Rome in 1904. His
Ian requires that every letter shall

ry in which 1t Is mailed and vet
