Cork, Oct. (By the Associated

destroyed by bombs about 4 O'Clock
this morning Six explosions were
heard, and were followed by consider.
able rife fire.
The damage was chiefly confined to
the rooms in the west end of the
building. One of these which was used
by the water department. was burned
out by fire, after the explosions and
the departments books and records for
years were destroyed
The blaze was prevented from spread

that bombs were thrown into them
through the windows.

castings, and bits of metal similar to
shrapnel were found in the debris.

STOCK PERISHES
WHEN BARN BURNS

Shortly afeer II O'Clock Tues
day nigrt, barn the property Of
F. H. Goosman on Water street
near Collins, was completely de-
stroyed by fire, one horse, four
hogs, a delivery wagon, two tons
of hay and large quantity o.
straw being destroyed.
When the alarm was given and
hremen arrived, the building was
mass of flames. There was a
deluge of rain and a strong wind
blowing which famed the flames.
The work of the fremen was in
effectual, since the building pre-
scented simply a mass of flames.
The infammable material caused
the heat to be so terrific that fire
men could not enter the building.
There was on chance to rescue the
livestock.
The origin of~the fire is not
known. 1t seemed that the fa-c
had started in the loft, which was
filled with hay and straw, recently
placed there. Mr.. Goosman stat
ed that he har but littel if any in
surance, and the loss is practically
total It's extent had not been
figured at noon Wednesday,
This is the fourth fire within as
many days, however, this was the
WAS the most disastrous one.
