TORCH APPLIED
TO RESIDENCES
BY MILITANTS
MORE PROPERTY is BURNED
Wild Women of London Do
Much Damage

London, May 1.-Two more of the
now familiar bombs with which the
militant suffragettes are attempting to
scare the British parliament into Civ
ing the parliamentary franchise to
women have been discovered here. One
of them was found in the passenger
waiting room at the busy Lime Street
railroad station in Liverpool, and the
other in the sorting room of the post
Office at Reading
The fuse of the Liverpool bomb had
been lighted by the pepetrator of the
outrage, but died out before it reached
the gunpowder. The instrument Of
intended destruction consisted of a
tin tobacco box filled with gunpowder
and iron nuts and the long fuse laid in
the center.
The Reading machine was wrapped
in a bulky parcel to which the atten-
ton of the postoffice employees was
attracted by the sound of ticking
The police were called in and on ex
animation found the parcel contained
an electric battery connected with ex-
plosives and accompanied by quaint
ties of suffragette literature.
The parcel was addressed to a mu-
nicipal official of Reading now Oh
his vacation. The police express the
belief it was timed to explode in his
residence during his absence.

harrington Hall, the residence Of
Henry McGrady, former lord provost
of Dundee, was destroyed by fire early
Sunday, and indications point to the
militant suffragettes as the authors of
the outrage.
Flames broke out simultaneously
in half dozen places in the great
mansion which was a beautiful speci-

Funny thing happened to a certain
visiting girl in this town yesterday
She left her new hat on the front steps
and the vegetable man, not known
what it was, dumped some beets, tur-
nips and radishes on it. The girl, in
her haste, grabbed up the hat ana wore
it down town. She received many com
pliments on the stylish way in which
it.was trimmed, but had a headache
when she got home.-Jacksonville
