It shook the 'netory building and was accompanied !y tlio Miuuil of crashing, glasi and it (diiiiie of smoke. A wild rush was made by the fa-dory mployes to the ollec. Tht were .li'tiilril by yoiniff Andrus.

They wem nrefnlly placed together and. although all the pieces weie not found, thrro ivrrc enough of them to show that thu bomb, or machine, that exploded was t piece of cast iron pipe, about six Indies in length by one and one-hitlf Inches in diameter. Fastened to cither Mid of litis piece of pipe was a cap, iliitli was s'rewed on. The odor and imoke indicated that the explosive iw ithe.r ilymtmite or giant powder. No far no motive has been disclosed for the murder. Information of a iturlliug diameter was received by the poiice. which may aid in the solution it the mystery. It war.' to tliu effect that thu bomb mm intended for John F. Andrus, brother of the dead man, a several times millionaire. John I". Andrus did not appear at the olllee of the('heiuli-al foinpany, ns was his custom. On learn ing of the explosion and the death of Ids brother ho hurried to the police itation and communicated with laii tain Manila. To the captain he said that the explosion of thu bomb might have been the work of anarchists, anil dVcrcd an explanation for his belief. About three weeks ugo, he Mild, he was wnlkiug along Wall street.

Tingley and a farm hand ln the employ of John Hutchinson sometime since hail trouble over a wager and Monday they met on the ro.nl and engaged in an altercation over the matter. Tingley. it is re ported, got out of his wagon and in ited the other man to u combat, which invitation was promptly ac cepted. Hutchinson, who was with his lilted man. iiImi got out of the wagon, and when he saw Tingley was getting the best of the light interfered. I "pon Ills interference Tinglo.v started for Hutchinson, who took -i shotgun from his wagon and ordered Tingley to stop. The latter, how ever, con tinued to advance in a threatening manner and Hutchinson shot him in the light side, the charge lodging i.t the kiduc.is Tingley fell to the ground and expired in about fort,-llo minutes, tetaiiilng consciousness totlui hist. As soon as Tingley was dead Hutchinson s'arleil for Kearney and upon arriving there gave himself up to tin- sheriff. Tlie coroner and slierifl went to the scene nf the trngedv. arriving about midnight. A jury was impanelled and an inquest held, the evidence of two or three witne-es to the shooting eliding facts ns stated above. Hutch inson claims the shooting was in self ilel'Misc. Tingley is a young man eighteen years of age. He is a farm laborer and has an unenviable reputa tion, lie has several times been at rested for theft and was generally con sidered iuirrclwiiin and dangerous. Hutchinson is uhout forty ami married. Those who were acquainted with him say that he bears a good reputation and was never known to be quarrel some, except when he was drinking, but lie had not indulged in drink for a .ear nr two. There is a report that Hutchinson and Tingley had some trouble some time since and that Hutchinson threatened to shoot Ting ley and some of the latter' .s friends ere inclined to think lie took advan tage of this opportunity to put the threat into execution.

The question awaits the decision of Secretary la inonl upon his return to Washington and it may be Unit in deference to the expressed opinion of Congress as to the proper price of gun steel, he will feel obliged to refer the subject to that hotly when it again assembles, lu view of the fact that tlie general law required the steel to be of domestic iiianufacture. the war department iu the end, it is believed, must accept the terms ottered by the tv.o American steel forging concerns, tlie Midvulo anil JEc Ihlchcm companies, unless this re striction shall be removed by Congress Auothrr frumiilo IVareil.
