he went to work upon the door of
the safe, when unexpected results
materialized, and the door was open

left the safe well loaded with nitro
glycerine, and when Mr. Bolt struck
the door blow with q hammer,
the glyoerine was exploded, the
door hoign of', &aa ~, 2als &
arm broken below the elbow. Safe
wreckage was scattered about the
depot, and the clerks had narrow
escape from injury The explos-
ions Of dynamite, which had been
set off by the burglars against the
safe door, were undoubtedly unsuc-
cessful attempts to explode the
nitro glycerine with which the safe
had been previously charged.
