sion at the Hartford club last night. a
part of the building was wrecked and a
panic followed. One or two dinner part

whole building seemed TO lift. The water
boiler attached to the huge range had ex-
ploded.
The heavy brick wall was blown
across the lawn hundred feet, barring
the main entrance to the cluIl over the
kitchen were the grill room and billiard
room. These were filled with men, who
were thrown In heaps with tables.
chairs, pictures and glasses.
The supports TO the floors were blown
out. but fortunately they did not go down.
Not whole piece OF glass or crockery

rooms where the dinner parties were be-
ing served and the pantries and basement

Sending Internal Machine to
the Stsamsr UmhTia.

New York, May i4.-Sailing lists of half
a dozen transatlantic steamship lines
have been found by detectives I'm the
room OF q. Rosseau. who. IL is alleged
was the sender OF the Internal machine
found at the Cunard company's dock re-
Gently.
This fact has given rise 90 n theory
that Rosseau sailed for Europe imme-
diately after mailing the warning letter
20 Police Commissioner Greene. The
sailing lists found I'm Rosseaus room
were all folded I'm a way TO suggest that
Saturdays sailings had been studied. No
railroad time tables were found In the
room. and those boarders In the house
who knew ROsseau best are strongly OF
tho opinion that he is now I'm mid-ocean
en- route for some foreign port.
They think II possible that he sailed on
the Umbria. On cahled instructions from
the police here each OF the steamers
which sailed eastbound Saturday will be
searched on arrival for the dynamiter.

To resist.
Rafflowich was weak and fell.
When the inspectors felt sure or their
man they set a trap for him.
Rafflowich quilted work at $40 o'clock
each evening and at o'clock went home
Before he knocked off work yesterday
two doctored packages were left where he
could get his hands upon them.
The inspectors then took positions
where they could see Rafflowichs every
move and waited for developments.
The suspect had a clear field. as he
probably thought, and in passing a table
upon which the packages had been left
came 10 a stop.
Glanoing furtively about the office he
quickly opened the packages and was OBJ
served to abstract something from them.
Immediately the inspectors were at
Rafflowichs side and took from him
some coins that had purposely been
placed in the packages
These were marked.
Raflowich insisted that the coins were
given to him by his wife.
He was taken To the Central station and
locked up for the night.
A search OF closet In the cellar OF the
postoffice had helped the inspectors.
There they found a package of rubber
stamps that had been mailed here to go
out Of town.
In waste paper bag they found frag-
ments OF two checks and OF letters that
had been destroyed.
The two packages which Ranlowich
opened last night were addressed TO the
Howard Mfg Co. a. Washington street,
and 90 r. O. Wehosky. 4S3 Eddy street
The complaint preferred by Inspector
Pendleton, before u. &. Commissioner
