 piled for the transfer of the liquor H.
 cense of Jesse M. Carr. of North Kingston, for the c. Den saloon in
 Canal stret. The hearing on the ap-
 plication was fixed for March 2I. Just before midnight Saturday there
 was loud report from an explosion SO loud that all who slumbered in the compact part of the town were arous- cd, and the explosion was the sub l Ject of early morning inquiry. Some | person with grudEe against Peter | Rose attempted to get him by the ! bomb route. Rose occupies the sec
 ond floor of a tenement house owned | by Joseph AntoCi, and the first floor
 was occupied by Gesue Pollazolo, the house being located in Rose alley, off | Pleasant street. The bomb was | placed at the back door of the Rose ! tenement. on the veranda, and when
 It exploded. the veranda was wrecked | the outside of the house damaged all | the windows in the house smashed and all was confusion. The bomb | was evidently filled with bits of metal | as pieces were scattered ip all direc- | tions.
 At the time of the explosion Mir Rose was lying on a couch in a back | room. the door of which was blown in ] He was not injured and so far as | known no persons was hurt but all | Tn the house were very much scared | It is estimated that the house was | damaged to the extent of $500. Mir. Rhodes has not the slightest | idea as to who fired the bomb as he | says he has done nothing to any per- | son that would create errnity. The i fellow who placed the bomb. made his | escape off through Central park in the | rear of the house. as indicated in the | foot prints in the snow, and the dis 1 tanCe between the tracks indicates | that the fellow ran with a long stride JuJre Chester w.
