HOUSE WRECKED az A BOMB,

Family Of a Prominent Omaha Attor.
ney Have a Narrow Escape.
Omaha, Nov. 23.-The home of FL
mer F.. Thomas, a prominent lawyer
of this city and attorney for the civic
federation, was badly wrecked by a
bomb placed on the front porch at 2
q. m. Mr.. Thomas and his family were
in the house at the time and he consid-
ers it miraculous that none of them
were injured,
Mrs. Thomas was awakened about 2
o'clock by a noise on the front porch
and aroused her husband, believing
that burglars were trying to enter the
house. MI. Thomas began an investi-
cation and discovered a fire on the
front porch. He picked up a large rug
and attempted to smother the flames,
when a terrific explosion occurred.
Although but a few feet from the mis-.
sile he escaped injury. The front wall
of the house was blown in, doors were
shattered and an immense hole was
torn in the ground. The interior OF the
building is a wreck. The explosion
was heard for three miles. .
A squad of police were on the scene
In a short time, but no clue to the per-
petrators of the deed was found.
Mr.. Thomas believes the attack re-
rulted from his activity in enforcing
the law against violators of the saloon
law and also to his connection with the
Dennison %extradition case.

KENTUCKY MOB plsPERsEs.
All Danger Of Lynching at Lexington
Seems Past. -

Seems Past. =
Lexington, Ky, Nov. 23.-The mob
that threatened to lynch the negroes
held in Jail here for numbering a white
man last Sunday night and attempting
to kill other white people dispersed as
day dawned. The troops and extra po-
lice have retired and the Jail is guard
ed now only by deputies. 1t is believ-
ed that all danger of lynching is past,
as the authorities cannot now be TAX
en- by surprise and the Jail will be
we'll guarded at night with troops in
readiness for emergency.
The preliminary hearing of the ne
groes was the cause of much excite
ment. They were taken to the court
house in a patrol wagon guarded by
twelve policemen. A large crowd had
gathered at the Jail and the streets
we're lined with shouting people. The
patrol wagon was driven at breakneck
speed to the courthouse where, after
a preliminary hearing, the negroes
were held to the grand jury. The same
exciting scenes attended the return OF
the negroes to Jail. The doors of the
Jail were open when the patrol wagon
returned and the negroes were literally
thrown through the entrance and the
doors slammed in the face of the moi
which surged around the. place. Many
threats of lynching were heard.

EIGHT PERSONS INJURED.
Three Women Probably Fatally Hurt
at a Fire in Brooklyn.

at a Fire in Brooklyn.
New York, Nov. 23.-Tnree women
were probably fatally hurt and five
firemen were injured severely in a
blaze that destroyed two buildings in
Brooklyn early in the day.
The fire started in the cellar Of a
drug store at Fulton and Adelphi
streets. Three upper floors were &C.
cupied by three families, consisting of
fifteen persons.
The flames spread upward SO quick
" that when the sleeping tenants were
aroused by the smoke and cracking
flames they found all escape by the
stairways had been cut off.
Bella Hill, Florence Seabrook and
Hetta Richardson, all of whom lived
on the fourth floor, made their way
down n story and out on to the cor
nice. Mrs. Seabrook had her baby in
her arms. The cornice gave way and
the women we're precipitated to the
ground.
Mrs. Seabrook clasped the infant to
her bosom in such a way that when
she struck the sidewalk the little one
escaped injury. The women were hur-
riedly carried to a hospital, where their
injuries were pronounced probably ia
tai.
Eight families, comprising thirty
four persons. escaped or were rescued
from a building adjoining the drug
store before the house was destroyed.
The firemen displayed great bravery
in the work of rescue, and two of them
fell from a swerving ladder two stories
above the street. Three others were
badly cut by falling debris. The finan'
cial loss was small.

FILES A VIGOROUS PROTEST.
State Department objects to Light Sen.
tence on a Mexican Judge.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Through the
American ambassador to Mexico, Gen
eral Powell Clayton, the state depart
ment has addressed a vigorous protest
to the Mexican government against
the sentence imposed by a local court
upon Hermalao Torres, local Judge of
the district of Fuerta for his connec-
ton with the murder at A~uguacaliente
de Raca. on July 10, last, of Clarence
Way and Edward B. Latimer. two
American citizens. Torres, who. &C
cording to reports received at the state
department, was the chief instigator
of the crime, received a sentence OF
ten months imprisonment and a small
fine. which sentence this government
deems wholly inadequate. 1t is charg:-
ed by foreign residents of the Fuerte
district that the court shielded Torres
at his trial and that Torres has threat
ened other foreigners.

The resolutions adopted declare that
"the foreign commerce of the United

the undisturbed continuation and ex-
