IN NO CONDITION TO GO HOME.
Licenses Made and Sustained-What

Young Men Did.
without Issuing a formal summons

George Danyew, license holder at the
American House, and John Bissett and
j. c. Sullivan, license holders at the
Brattleboro House, to meet them at the
office of Attorney General Clarke c.
Fits Friday night. The license holders
complied taking with them their hotel
registers as requested by the commits
sioners. Mr.. Fits made a verbal COM
plant that the hotel keepers had sold
liquor to several young men of Brattle-
boro until they were intoxicated and had
furnished them rooms repeatedly when
they were in no condition to be turned
out on the street keeping them over
night without letting their parents know
of their whereabouts. The complainant
did not ask that the licenses be cancelled.
or the licensees be prosecuted, but that
the practice be stopped at once.
The licensees at first raised some dis
pute as to the facts but on examination
of the hotel registers the complaint was
fully sustained, it appearing in one in
stance that a young man had been kept
at the American House in the way mem
toned eight times at least from the mid
die of November to the middle of jan
uary, and the same young man five times
at the Brattleboro House within six weeks
of the middle of January. 1t developed
lIlal lIlS was by no means an isolated IN
stance. Once, at least, on the books of
one hotel 1t appeared that whiskey had
been furnished to the young man at his
room, and once at least within that period
that conditions were so that he didn't
register for himself. but the clerk regis
tered for him when he gave him the room.
The commissioners were greatly sur
prised at these developments and inform

ner that such proceedings must stop. The
I licensees claimed that they didn't realize
to what extent this kind of business was
going on, and made solemn promise not
to continue such practice 1t has amount

Blown to Pieces by a Bomb Which Was
Thrown Under His Carriage While
Riding in Moscow.
Grand Duke Sergius, uncle of the car
of Russia, was blown to pieces Friday
by bomb which was thrown under his
carriage while he was riding i'm Moscow.
The grand duke was driving from the
Nicholas palace through the Senate
Quarter. His carriage was followed by
two cabs. At the law courts a sleigh in
which were two men. one of whom was
dressed as a workman, rapidly passed the
grand dukes carriage. The sleigh then
slowed up to allow the carriage to pass,
and at that moment a bomb was thrown
under the vehicle The force of the ex-
plosion broke all the windows of the law
courts. and the report was heard outside
the city. The carriage was blown to
pieces, nothing except the four wheels
remaining. The horses were not hurt and
bolted The head of the Grand Duke
Sergius was literally blown to atoms, and
his body was frghtfully mangled.
The coachman was also killed. He was
so frightfully burned by the explosive
with which the bomb was charged that
he died while being taken to a hospital.
