Graphic Description Of the Work
Of the Dynamiter that
Shook the World.
TIMES EAGLE STILL FLIES
Eyewitness Relates How Harvey
Elder Fought for His Life
and Lost It.

A gaunt, shattered wall LOOKS down
upon all that is left of the old Times
building that has played so great =
part in the history of this community.
But, above the wall the old Times
eagle still stands with pinions out
stretched. He has been burned and
seorched and flame.licked by murderous
fires and shaken by the dynamite of
assassias, but he still stands there, :
mute notice to the world.
Somewhere down in the gray ashes
lie our pitiful dead murdered at their
posts
Nearly score Of families have been
left fatherless and in sorrow. A tragedy
has come into the lives OF happy fam
lily of newspaper workers, and wound,
inoffaceable, has been left in the heart
of every man and woman in The service
of the Times.
The union has struck. The great coup
consists of broken hearts of innocent
workers. That is all. The rest is as
nothing.
The paper was printed last night on
different press, but it was printed
just the same. General Otis has re-
turned from Mexico and is in full com
mand. The familiar voice of the chief
is heard again on the quarter deck
The Times goes right on and the eagle
still flies. Nothing has been accom-.
plished except to give the world one
more example of the insane, murderous
folly of the rabid labor unions,
Appalled, and Denying.
The unions are already appalled, at
the storm raised by ihoir own awful
crime.
Passionate denials of guilt from all
the "big' union leaders of America
are being clicked over the telegraph.

Unhappily for the unions, the event,
of the long, Tad day gave conclusive
proof that the explosion was not caused
by gas, but dynamite.
Dynamiters Keep at It.

Immediately after the explosion thai
