Boston. March 2S-An 1S-inCh piece oil
time fuse, the remains of percussion
cap and sections of tnree-inch iron pipe
with tarfch paper wadding were al
the evidence the police could secure
today in their Investigations to unrave
the mystery of the explosion which
late last night, blew out part OF
the southeast corner of the nearly COM
pleted Grand Opera house on Hunting
ton avenue in the Back Bay.
The explosion occurred a few min
uteS after II o'clock and shook the on
tire business section of the city mile
away, as we'll as creating CONSERVATION
in the fashionable residential section
nearby. Great granite blocks and brick
were thrown far across the avenue
but no one was injured
The loss, at first estimated to be over
$1,000. is now believed to be not more
than 1900 or $3.50. as it is not thought
the steel structure is damaged and that
the injury can he repaired by merely
filing IN the blocks of granite and brick
again. Surt. Nash, representing George
W. Harvey. the contractor. made the
following statement tonight:
Il have received several yelled threat
since the trouble with labor organiZa-
tons last December. and for months
have been guarding and building very
carefully at night. | especially feared
the hosting engines and the expensive
boilers. as one employee told me that he
had heard threats Of their being blown
up. / feel that the deed was perpetrated
by some discharged workman
The piece Of time fuse found by the
Eollc" is believed to have been dropped
by the men who caused the explosion
and leads to the belief a similar piece
was used in the exploding of the charge
Dynamite was undoubtedly used and the
sections of iron pipes found discloscs the
form of the bomb The building was
guarded by three Waterman. but it would
have been an easy matter for one or two
men to have visited the dark corner of
the structure and place the bomb. and
1t IS believed the perpetrators were safe
away before the explosion occurred.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Oct 7.--Increased receipts in she southwest coupled with an or- ficial forecast of rain in portions of the winter wheat belt offset a number of bullish influences in the wheat mar ket today, causing heavy tone the greater part of the session. At the close prices were IFS to S-s@l-2 lower. Coanae grain also closed weak but pro visions were firm
 Trade during the greater palt of the day was rather light and prices held within about tc range The mar l5et closed only a trihe above the lowest mark with December 1U1 3S.
 Anticipation of a bearish showing in the government crop report to be published tomorrow prompted liberal sales of corn today and resulted in a weak market throughout the session The market closed weak with prices 1-4@1-2 below the previous close.
 selling of December oats by longs was feature of trading in the oats market and was responsible for considerable weakness. At the close prices were 1-S@1-4 to 1-4 lower than yesterdays final figures.
 Provisions at the start were weak because of a 10c decline in live hogs but the market quickly rallied and continued firm the remainder of the day. Buying of the January products was "a feature. A liberal decrease in hog packing for the week was bull ish factor. Prices at the close were 21-2@f5 higher
