Bomb No 18 ExpIodes.

Chicago, July 25.-Bomb No. IS in the gamblers vendetta series was ex. ploded in the rear of J. J. Corbett's s saloon, 26 State street. The bomb was placed under the saloon in the rear of the basement which is used as store room. Planks two inches thick were torn from the walls and several hundred dollars worth of bottle goods that had been stored in the basement was broken.
 The explosion caused excitement among the guests of the Strauss ho- tel, above the saloon. The bomb had been placed on top of jug and when it exploded pieces were blown into the walls of the building.
 Two rooms of the hotel are said to have been used for poker game and the bomb evidently was directed to- ward the keepers of the gambling house, as Corbet is not interested in the hotel. The explosion was the third similar attempt that had been made against the gamblers in month. The police never have been able to find the persons responsible for the out rage.
