SENT BOMB TO GOVERNOR.
New Jerseys Governor Has q Narrow
Escape.

New Jerseys Governor Has q Marrow
Escape.
Seagirt, N. j., Sept. 14.-An attempt
to assassinate Governor Fort of New
Jersey has been thwarted by the watch.
fulness of postofice employees, who dis
covered in the mails an internal ma.
chine addressed to the governor.
The package was cleverly con-
trived combination of powder, bullets
and matches, which had been so ar
ranged that had the governor opened
it in the ordinary way there is little
doubt it would have killed him.
That the death-dealing package was
intercepted before it had reached it's
destination was due to the vigilance of
the postal officials, who have scanned
the governor g mail with unusual care
since the executives recent crusade
against violation of the law at Atlantic
City.
The attitude taken by the governor,
when he directed that the excise and
other laws at the seaside resort be
strictly enforced, and even threatened
to order out the militia if necessary,
aroused resentment in some quarters.
To guard the governor as much as pos
slble from any annoyance arising from
that affair, unusual watch was put
on his mail.
Several days ago when package of
some unusual shape was found to bear
insufficient postage it was taken by
a clerk to an inspector. The inspec-
tor became more impressed by the
shape and condition Of the package
than by the shortage of stamps, and
at once wrote the governor, informing
him that package Of suspicious ap-
pearance addressed to him was being
held at the Office. The inspector asked
for permission to open it without for
warding it to its destination. The per-
mission was given at once.
Exercising thes greatest care, the in
spector and his assistants removed the
wrappings from the package, to find
that their worst fears were confirmed.
1t was real internal machine, crude,
but SO cleverly constructed that it was
capable Of doing tremendous damage.
1t contained quantity of powder and
bullets, with matches so arranged that
hurried opening of the package
would have set off the powder and
hurled the bullets in all directions.
