NEW YORK INTERIOR
 OF BOMB THROWERS
An Attempt Made Yesterday to Repeat the
 Haymdrket Tragedy
The Man With the Bomb Still Alive But a COmpan- ion Was Killed and Horribly Mutilated by a Pre- mature Explosion.

New York, March 2S~-A red flag fluttered in Union Square today; a bomb fell and two men lay dying in the peoples play ground. New York awoke to the fact that it harbored those prepared to give their lives to armed resistance to constituted au- thority. The bomb was intended for the police who with rough firmness had broken up a meeting of ten thou sand unemployed. It exploded prema- durely in the hands of the assassin, horribly wounding him. killing a com panion and injuring slightly four po- licemen beside throwing to the ground a score of those who were massed in the vicinity.
 Tonight Union Square park where the public demonstration had been made is roped off from pedestrians and hundreds of police patrol the park. At the station houses a hundred re- serves armed with revolvers and night sticks await orders to throw themselves into any scene of riOting. No further disorder had developed at a late hour.
 Bomb throwing in the foreign set dement's in the East Side is a rather common occurrence but for the first time, today saw an engine of destruc- tion openly and deliberately directed against squad of police officers. It was meant for Captain O'Reilly's squad of twenty men. A longer or slower burning of the fuse meant death for probably every man in the squad
 A labor or more exactly a laborless meeting without police sanction had been advertised to be held in the park this afternoon. In the thousands gath
 cred were many of riotous disposition. A large number wore red hats and here and there a red flag was dis

badly.
The dresses were soiled with dirt
and torn too much to be worn by

Prince ran into the curb, but Jack
had heard them call to him to come
and help them. He called to Prince,
and the little pony, recognizing his
voice, stopped. They were not hurt,
but very badly frightened. The man in
the automobile asked Jack if he could
do anything to help him. Jack told him

Just then an automobile came whizz-

pony started down the avenue at a
hot pace. Jack ran after them, shout
ing: "Stop him, Mary!' but poor Mary
was so frightened she could not move
By this time the girls were very much
worked up and were just deciding to
jump, when up rushed their papa and
grabbed the horse by the bride, and
the two girls were rescued. Their
mothers dresses were torn and the
parasol was completely demolished. BY
the time Jack arrived the excitement
was over and the three had started
homeward. Their father was very much
displeased and said: "This is what It,

This was one thing Prince was afraid
of. He ran faster and faster, from one
side of the street to the other. This
frightened the girls so that they called
to their brother, Jack, Jack, come and
help us! Jack, make Prince stop!'
Jack in his fright jumped on a motor
cycle that was lying beside the road
and followed the runaway, and in a
short time he caught up with them.
Dropping the motorcycle he grabbed
the lines that were dangling alone on
the ground After being dragged a few
feet he managed to get into the buggy.
The girls were not hurt much, but had
been tossed from one side of the seat
to the other. There was not much left
to their mothers dresses. In Jessie's
fright she had dropped the pink parasol,
and as her luck 1t fell into a mudpool.
Their father said he was sorry they had
disobeyed him. For he had told them
not to drive the horse alone. He said
it was a good lesson. But the girls
never disobeyed him again.

Prince did not like automobiles. He
ran while the girls called out for Jack
to stop him.
Just then Prince turned the corner,
upsetting the cart and throwing the
girls out into pile of dirt.
Just then a gust of wind came along
and turned the parasol wrong side out.
Meanwhile Jack ran through the alley
and caught Prince.
The girls dresses We're dirty, so they
jumped up, brushing them.
They then started home. The neigh
boris dogs, who knew them, did not
recognize them now, they were so dirty.
so they caught hold of the girls dresses
and yanked.
This, of course, tore them. The girls
ran home. taking the dresses off and
hiding them.
Their mother wanted to go to a party
that night. She wanted to wear her
best dress, but found it all dirty and
torn.
She asked the girls about it. They
owned up to it. and instead of going
to the Halloween party as they ex-
pected they had to go to bed.

he could take Mary and Jessie home
if he would. The man in the automo-
bile paid for the repairs of the pony
cart and Jack let him take the cart
to be fixed. When the girls got home
they went upstairs and stayed in their
room until their mother came home.
They showed her the dresses and the
parasol, both of which were ruined
Their father was a little provoked to
think that Mary and Jessie had taken
the pony when they had been told not
to. The little girls felt repentant, SO
their father let them keep the pony,
but told them never to disobey again.

This frightened poor Prince SO badly
that he went up onto the sidewalk, and
the poor girls were so frightened that
they did nothing but scream "Oh!
Jack, help US! Catch Princel" Jack
ran and caught the reins and stopped
him. If 1t had not been for Jack
catching him he would have run into
the telephone post; the girls perhaps
would have been killed.
The girls mothers clothes were
spoiled.
When mamma and papa got home
they did not Know what to say to the
girls; tnelr motner was very sorry
for having her dresses spoiled, as they
were some of her very best. But she
said that they must not get into her
things next time. With this the poor
children began to cry, as they were
very tender-hearted.
The girls took off the clothes and
went straight to bed crying, and cried
themselves to sleep.

Just then an automobile came whizz-

Mary was so frightened she jumped
from the carriage just in time to escape
much injury. Jessie was thrown out
as the pony dashed around corner
and was dragged few feet.
When Jack and Mary found their
sister she was in a serious condition.
Their family doctor was driving by
and took both girls to their home.
When they reached home their mother
came running out to meet them.
1t was long time before Jessie could
walk about.
One day, when their mother was
getting ready to make some calls, she
asked the girls to find her parasol. The
girls looked at each other. They had
forgotten to tell their mother they lost
it the day of the accident.
But their mother turned to them and
said: 81 am sorry to lose my parasol
but 1 know you have learned great

When Prince saw the automobile he
whirled to one side and started off run
ming. The girls saw Jack walking
down the street In front of them. They
called for help. Jack lit out and ran
and caught Prince when he was turn
ing the corner. The girls would have
been thrown out but for Jack, who
caught Prince in time. The girls praised
Jack for saving their lives. They
jumped in the carriage and rode home.
The girls found their mothers dresses
torn to pieces. The parasol escaped
all injuries, but it was pretty dirty.
When their father came home from
work and heard of the story he seolded
them for taking the pony when they
were forbidden, unless Jack or some
older person was along. Prince was

speeding straight toward him. 1t looked
to him liks some monster, chugging
and putting it's way through the

behind him and did not see the danger
of the girls. Finally Jack, with leap,
grabbed hold of Princes name. Then,

startled Prince that, quick as lightning,
he fell back on his launches. The
