 The Carrigan residence is d handsome two-story brick structure and it is esti- mated that the damage from the bomb will amount to several thousand dollars. A feature of the explosion was the fact that despite the wreclSing of the front of the house an electric light globe on the porch was undamaged although about the only thing to escape.
 The explosion was heard all over Br- ming ham, and it was at first thought that there had been an accident at powder mill. There were numerous inquiries at police headquarters and The Age-Herald as to it's nature.
 The neighbors of MT. Carrigan were awakened and there was great excite- ment until it was ascertained that mem bers of the Carrigan family were unin- jured. Mrs. Carrigan was badly fright ened by the explosion, and it was some time before she could be soothed.
 The police officials at an early hour this morning were still vigorously prose- cutting the search for the men who set off the bomb, but without result.

 Chicago, August News that Germany had declared war on Russia was received with eager interest tonight by leaders on the Chicago Board of Trade, but in no case with any show of excitement. It was virtually the unanimous opinion that the consequence so far as the wheat mar ket was concerned had been to a great extent discounted in advance.
 Beyond a possible temporary convulsion in the wheat pit, the effect on prices was generally expected to be much more re- strained than in the case of Austria s declaration against Servia.
 Fifty million bushels of wheat were said to be already under contract for shipment to Europe and unable to get away from United States ports. Even with immediate amendment of naviga- ton laws, it was declared that an ade- quate outlet still would be lacking as shipments would have to be confined as far as possible to neutral ports, such as Amsterdam and Rotterdam. or run the risk of delay and loss by blockades.
