Work of a Lunatic.
New York, Deo. 4. Russell Sage, the
milionaire, escaped death by a miracle
to day. His office and the entire Empire
bnildirjg, in which it was, was shaken to
its very foundation by the explosion nt a
dynamite bomb, burled by a crank, who
made a demand upon Sage for the im
mediate payment ot $1,200,000. His
ultimatum in the case of refusal was the
death of the milionaire, of the crank
himself and of those employed in the
office. Never in the history of the met
ropolis has an event occurred that for a
time caused more excitement on Wall
street and lower Brodway. Fully 50.000
people were drawn to the scene of the
explosion, and for an hour the police
were powerless to bring order out of the
chaos. It was just 12:20 when the ex
plosion, came with a force that was ab
solulely startling, completely wrecking
the second flonrof the buildmg. throwing
pedestrians in the streets to the ground
and startling people for blocks around
Those close at hand saw a man blown
terough one of the windows of Sage's
oltice into Kector street. A tew minntes
after, Sage himself, wltb blood streaming
down his Juce and hands, was helped
out into the street and taken to O Con
ncll's drug store, just below Wall street
on broad way. there also was earned
the man blown-from the window. Within
ten minntes after the ' explosion. Dr.
Mund, the physician of Jay Gould, was
at the side of Sage, and personally at
tended to bis injuries, which proved to
be not of a serious nature. The bair and
eyebrows ot the millionaire were burned
and bis face and band3 hurt by small
particles of glass and plaster, the result
of the explosion. Sage, though suffering
from the shock, made the following state
ment while his wounds were beicp
dressed: -
"A man, who gave his name as H. D.
Wilson, came to my. office just now. I
had never seen him before. He bad a
carpet bag in his baod, and said, 'If you
will not give me $1,250,000 I will blow
ye n to pieces.' I knew nothing further
except hearing a heavy explosion and
feeling tbe floor fall. I regained con
sciousness here. Tbe man lying on tbe
floor of tbe drugstore is, I believe, tbe
same one who asked for tbe monev."
Wben Sage's wounds were dressed he
was taken in a cab to his home. Out
ide of tbe door everytbiog was confu
sion.
THE KILLED AND INJURED. -For
au hour confusion reigned, then
the police found their beads and some
thing like a correct list of tbe killed and
njured was bad. Bat one person was
llled outneht. tbe one mentioned. He
is supposed to be Ef. D. Wilson, tbe man
wbo made the demand for money from
Sage and threw the bomb. Beojamam
F. Morton, who was thrown through tbe
window, was clerk in the office. He was
removed to tbe Chamber-street hospital
where be died at 1 :30. The following
Djured were taken to the hospitals:
Frank Koberlson, 20 years old, clerk
for Im pre & Co., brokers. He was in
Sage's office at the time of the explosion.
His 'skull was fractured and be will
probably die.
Charles W. Osborne (Russell Sage's
cashier), fractured skull : wiil probably
le.
Samuel Calhoun, wbo was in tbe build-
ng at tie time, fractured leg.
Colonel J. J. Slocum, brother in-law of
Sage and bis chief clerk, badly cut about
tbe head and face.
Wben Colonel Slocum's wounds were
dressed be returned to the scene, declar
ing he had left the safe open, and was
fearful lest tbe securities in it had been
blown out and lost. Quickly gathering
igetber what be found he placed them
a small sate and bad it removed to tbe
office of the Mmhattan Railway Company
the same building, in tbe arternoon
tbe firemen found among the debris a
leg, thought to be that of a woman.
Whether it is or not has not been dis
covered. Sage never employed a woman
typewriter, and as this fact is well estab
hthed the supposition is the leg is that
of a woman, and is all that is left of one
of his "put-and call" customers who
was in the office at the time.
the coboneb's investigation.
Tbe coroner made an examination of
the mangled remains of tbe man found
Sage a office, and from the mangled
mass of flesh and clothing took a seven-
chamber bulldog revolver. This was all
bat could be found bv wbicb identifica
tion could be made. What was left of
tbe body was laid out in an undertaker's
office on Greenwich street. It was not
much. The bead was there,- blackened,
but neither cut nor disfigured in any
way. It was off of tbe neck and looked
for all the world like the mask of a man
35 or 40 years old, with a full beard that
igbt have been long, bnt was now
burned close to the chin and cheek.
Tben there was a leg tbe right the
left foot, and band and that was all.
The body proper was gone, neither chest,
nor abdomen, was found.
Hurled In The Knlne.
St. Paul, Dec. 4. The most horrible
accident that ever occurred in St. Paul
took place shortly after 1 o'clock to-day,
wbeu tbe center wall of tbe west section
of tbe Sbepard building, recently occupied
by Farwell, Ozmun & Kirk, fell in,
burying tbe workmen beneath the ruins.
fteen men are supposed to have been
beneatb the wall at the time it fell, and
majoritv of them were killed or re
ceived injuries wbch will probably prove
fatal. All tbe patrol wagons in the city
were at oace summond, and the police
attempted to organize laborers wbo were
not under tbe wall, get them at work
rescuing the injured. Tbe men were
wild with excitement, aud it was a long
time before more than half a dozen coo Id
be induced to go to work. In less than
balf an hour the men bad taken out ten
companions, five of whom were killed,
and five injured iatally. Contractor
Wilcox was taken out dead, and mangled
beyond recognition. Tbe wounded were
removed to the hospitals.
One man was indentified as Chris
Larsen. Lauer, the lorman of tbe gang,
was about tbe building, but frantic with
grief and excitement, and could not give
tbe names of any of the men though be
knew them all. Neither could be tell
tbe number of men under the wall af
the lime it fell.
Tbe wall was firm and gave no signs
of weakening np to the time it fell.
Most of those taken from the ruins were
badly clashed and bruised, others not so
badly mangled but evidently had been
killed by bricks falling on their heads.
Of those wounded and taken to tbe hospi
tal only two will recover.
A Frichtful Accident.
Webster, Mass., Dec. 4 At 6 o'clock
this morning a collision occurred between
two freight trains and a Long Island ex
press on the New York & New England
railroad at East Thompson. Tbe accident
was caused by an open switch. All three
trains are piled up together. Tbe engin
eer and firemua of one train weie killed.
One passenger on the Pullman tar is re
ported burned to death, and many in-
jured. .The cars immediately took fire
and engines and doctors were summoned
from adjacent points. Assistant General
Superi itendent Grant, of the New York
and New England railroad, says of tbe
accident at East Thompson: "All we
know at present is that both trains ran
into tbe east-botnd freight and Long
Island express before they could be
flagged. Tbe onlv thing I can attirbute
tbe accident to is the unusually dense
log." East Thompson is about fifty-five
miles from Boston. All tbe Boston bos
pitals have been notified by tbe New
England road to hold themselves in
readiness to accommodate a number of
victims of the wreck. The railroad offi
cials report many killed. One report
says tbe number killed is seven.
Seeklns: the Cause.
New Yobk, Dec. 6. All those who
were injured by tbe explosion in tbe
building at 71 Broadway, yesterday, are
in a fair way to recovery. Russell Sage
has almost recovered from the shock.
.The chief interest now centers about the
mysterious bomb-tbrower and every effort
is being made by the police to discover
bis identity. Tbe bead.of the lunatic is
at tbe morgue and hundreds of people
have viewed it, but no one identified it
Inspector Byrnes had conference with
Mr. Sage to day in reference to tbe mys
terious correspondent of tbe millionaire
Tbe inspector afterward stated to a re
porter that a mysterious letter, signed by
James Walsb, may solve the mystery
surrounding tbe man wbo threw the
dynamite bomb. A few days ago Mr.
Sage received a letter signed by ne
James Walsb. In it $1,200,000 was
demanded. Mr. Sage is constantly in
receipt ot such letters, either begging,
blackmailing, or worse, ana consequently
paid no attention to the epistle. Now
that his life has been attempted, tbe
singular similarity between the tbreats of
tbe bomb thrower lust before be burled
tbe bomb, caused sage to'look more care
fully into tbe letter, which is now in the
bands of tbe police. Byrnes is bard at
work with his men on the clue. It was
learned this evening that a $100,000
cheque was missing. Mr. Oberne, one of
Mr. cages cashiers, says tbat wben he
went out of the office just before noon to
get bis luni beon there was a cheque for
$ 100,000 lying on tbe desk. He does
not know what has become of it, though
be says it may be iu the valuable rubbish
which he has collected in tbe boxes now
under lock and key in tbe Manhattan
company's office. The body of Clerk
Norton was removed to day to his home
in Kockaway, for burial.
The Japan Earthquake.
Yokohama, Nov. 10 (via San Francisco,
Dec. 6) News of the earthquake con
tinues to come in. Mr. Iguchi, director
of the Gifu observatory, has been ex
amining the district where the shock was
most severe. At this place some years
ago holes appeared in the ground, to
which no bottom, could be found, and it
was beheved they communicated with
immense cavities far below. Mr. Iguchi
now believes tbe earthquake was caused
by tbe Fujiya mountains slipping into
tbese caverns. In the district of Uro an
immense landslide took place, damming
the Mana riyer. A lake is now forming,
which is already fifty feet deep. Another
large lake is being formed in tbe same
way by the Asbiba river. At Nagoya
the earthquake was still going on Novem
ber 9, 730 shocks being felt intbe twenty
preceding hours. The 'great want in the
earthquake regions is shelter. There is
sufficient food to prevent actual starva
tion, but over 400,000 people are home
less, with aimost nothing. Winter is rapid
ly approaching, and tbe suffering will be
very great. A section of about thirty
miles on the railroad from Tokio to
Kyoto is so much damaged that it will
probably have to be entirelv rebuilt and
will not be open again until next June.
Minern Burled In a Pit.
Paris, Dec. 6 A fearful disaster is re
ported from St. Etienne coal field, in tbe
southwest of France. Wbilo eighty
miners were engaged in the pit an ex
plosion of fire-damp caused tbe death of
at least sixty. Tbe first notice that people
outside of the pit bad of tbe disaster was
a rumbling sound, followed by smoke
and flames rushing from tbe mouth of
the pit. So soon as possible, men
descended to tbe rescue, while hundreds
of women and children around tbe open
ing shrieked and wailed in agony for tbe
fathers and brothers below. The rescuers
are reported to have found all dead but
aboat twenty, wbo had been working
where the explosion did not haye its full
effeet. Tbe scene as the bodies were
brought up was terrible. Women fell
on tbe bodies of their relatives and could
not be torn awav. Loud imprecations
were uttered against the officials, whose
neglect was tbe cause of the calamity.
Tbe authorities are prepanhg to bold a
rigid investigation, as it is claimed that
tbe mine bad been inspected within a
few hours before tbe explosion and de
clared safe to work in.
Stiver and the Tariff.
Washington, Dec. 6. It matters not
wbo is elected speaker tbe Democrats will
be all torn up and distracted over two
other propositions. One is free silver.
and it is impossible to see bow the Dem
ocratic house, no matter who is speaker,
can prevent a iree coinage bin irom
going through. Just what to do with tbe
tariff is another thing that is troubling
them. Whether to form an entire new
tariff bill, or only to pass a number of
bills changing various schedules of tbe
McKinley law is a puzzler. This i3 some
thing tbat will have to be fought out in
caucus. If only a few schedules are to
be changed the party will be charged
with hedging upon tbe mam question,
and, besides, each man will have his own
particular ax to grind, whicb he will
insiBt upon, to tbe confusion of those wbo
would be adroit party-mongers.. On tbe
live questions ot tbe day tbe Democracy
is as badly split as upon the speakersnip.
Brazil Quieting Down.
London, Dec. 5 A dispatch from Bra
zil was received to -day, after a silence of
four days. It shows tbat affairs in Rio
Grande do Sul are assuming a more
pacific aspect. SenorCastilloJbas decided
not to accept the governorship of tbe
state. He was governor under the Fon-
seca administration, but was persuaded
bv the junta to resign. Tbe new govern
ment the other day ordered bint to be
reinstated. Tbis created great excite
ment, and for a time trouble was feared,'
but Castillo's action in declining the gov
ernorship has caused a better feeling to
prevail. Tbe national guard are disarm
ing and quiet is being restored.
From Central and Mouth America.
City of Mexico, Dec. 4. Tbe Brazil
ian government has decided to retain
its legation here. President Peixotto has
ordered Signor Alvin to remain at bis
Dost Tbe minister of war says Her
nandez was arrested for insubordination,
and not for an attempt to enter into an
alliance with Garcia, as reported.
Advices received here from Honduras
are to tbe effect tbat tbe rebels in that
in retreat, but they
organize a force near
the frontier.
A Divorce llania.
Chicago, Dec. 7 Tbe story of Chicago
diyorces was amplified yesterday by
full fledged novelty in tbe shape of
woman who has been drilling herself m
acting so as to appear dramatic wben her
suit for separation would come up in
court, jura. Jilizaj. White was a poor
girl a few years ago, when she was
sought in marriage by William B. White
a wealthy galvanized iron manufacturer
of this city. After her marriage she was
provided with every luxury, and taken to
uanioroia every - winter for Dleasure
ine change from Dovertv to onulenrtn
was 100 great, nowever, and she decided
to sue her husband for divorce on the
ground of cruelty. He filed bis answer
and in it reyealed some strange facts.
For some years past, 9ays White, his wifo
nas been possessed cf a morbid mind in
relation to marriage and divorce. She
devoted hours to reading all the pub -hshed
accounts in court, often saying to
lueueienaent mat nis turn would come
one of these days, tben she would show
court and jury what she could do under
such circumstances. On such occasions
it was common for hereto stand before
a mirror and practice what she called
acting in a divorce suit, having before
her in imagination the judge and jury,
with berself as principal witness and star
actress. Sometimes she would carrv
these extraordinary proceedings to such
an extent as to cause in the mind of the
defendent suspicions of her sanitv. One
Sunday morning, after reading from the
divoice columns a sensational case, she
suddenly flew into a violent rage and
said she would be divorced and have her
case tried like the one published. She
fell down on the floor, pulled her hair,
tore open her clothes, struck her face so
as make her cheeks bleed, and said that
she would swear ' the defendent was
guilty ot cruelty. At times she would
run irom the bouse and scream tbat she
was driven out and call for belD. De
