ATTEMPT TO KILL coRTELYoua
Package Addressed to Him Explodes
in Philadelphia Post Office.

Philadelphia The explosion of
what appears to have been large
percussion cap in a package ad-
dressed to Secretary of the Treasury
George B. Cortelyou created excite
ment in the Nicetown substation of
the Philadelphia post Office Tuesday.
The package, which was collected
from box in the northern section of
the city, was received by Clerk Rob-
erts, who says it was about four
inches long by two inches wide and
three-fourths of an inch thick. When
Roberts brought his steel cancel1a-
ton die down upon the stamp the
package exploded and was torn to
pieces Roberts was unhurt. The
pieces Of paper were put together and
the package was found to have been
addressed to Secretary Cortelyou,
Washington, the address having been
cut from a newspaper and pasted on
the package.
Chief Postal Inspector James B. Cor
telyou, a brother of the secretary, is
trying to solve the mystery surround
ing the explosion, though most of the
authorities think the package was
mailed as joke. There was not suf-
ficient explosive matter in it to have
done injury to anyone. What was in
the package aside from the explosive
cap the officials will not say.

WIDOW DEMANDS DAMAGES.
sequel To Legal Battle over An In.
surance Policy,

wi awe VolICys
Des Moines.-As a sequel to the
regal hight between c. C. Crowel of
Des Nsoines and his daughter-in.law
over the life insurance left by the
late Emmett Crowell, suit has been
brought in district court in which the
young widow demands $4,000 dam
ages from her father-inlaw for alleg.
ed SANDER. She alleges that he
circulated stories in Des Moines and
Minneapolis calculated to inture her
reputation.
Young Crowell was connected with
the Northwestern National Life In
surance company at Minneapolis and
when he died he left life insur-
ance policy for $4,000. Shortly be
fore his death he had borrowed $500
from his father and assigned the in.
surance policy to him as, security.
Crowell sought to collect the entire
amount OF the policy, but the widow
claimed he was only entitled to the
amount he had loaned his son. Judge
Howe, before whom the case was
tried. held in favor of the widow.
Since then the relations between
Mrs. Crowell and her fathzr-in-law
have been very much strained.
G. G. Crowell was formerly secre-
tary of the old Northwestern Insur.
ance company which was absorbed
by the Northwestern National Of
Minneapolis. For a time he was pro-
prietor of the Iliad and president Of
the Des Moines Department Store
company. He now holds the position
of vice president of the Cochrane
Plumbing & Heating company.

A gentleman recently returned from

And the worst Of it was that he did
not know they were sensational at all.
He was out calling the other evening,
and the conversation started with the
shirtwaist man, who, the returned
wanderer said, was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort.
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted of
going without hats. This Is the way
he told 1t to an interested company:
"You see everybody down there

never wear coats; they go about in
just their shirts and trousers, and the
