MYSTERIOUS BOMB EXPLO SION IN NEW YORK.
New York, Oct. 10. The authorities are investigating mysterious bomb explosion in a tenement, wherein five persons were killed and 12 injured and a four storeyed building was demolished on Saturday. They conclude that the house was probably a bomb factory, and that the body of a middle aged man found in the cellar with his head blown off was an anarchist.
