' rAmS , Jan. H.-A - bomb explosion o -
) tured abut midnight In front or C5 flue
Monccau It Is beIeve ) have
I bele\'CI to been the '
work or anarchsts. ) ! Nobody was killed , but
. % consderablo damage was Ilone In the vi- : ,
eLnify.
The bomb Is described as being or the :
reversible sari , chiefly charged with clyna-
- . mil packcd In gunpowder anll concealcil ' In
an English tin cracker box strengthcnell hy
n thick band or alumlnnm. In other respects
the bomb Is said to have been charged and
prepared In a manner simiar to the one
used by VaIlant In the Chamber or Depu-
ties. The Ilolcc , at present , have no clew to
the man , although some poLicemen on duty
In adjacent streets saw a man running
swiftly ' away a short tmo previous to thc
explosIon. The police are malntalnlnl theh
usual reticence as to the facts In the case.
I appears that a porter on duty at 65 flueo
110nceau. just bcrore midnight , was Informed
by a passerby that a suspicious looking parcel -
cel hall been place on the wIndow ledge or
the ground Iloor. The Porter In alarm rushed
to the spot and ! seizing the parcel hurled I
Into the middle or the strel. A terrific ex-
IJloslon rolowed , and showcrs or shot were
hurled In all directions , breaking all the win-
Ilows In the vicinity , although they were
Ilrote'ctcd by strong wooden shutters.
Following the explosion there was a panIc
In the neighborhood , particularly among the
. people lving In the Immediate vicinity. No.
65 was formerly the residence or PrInce VIctor -
tor Napoleon , and Its front was terrIbly
damaged.
The explosion cauEclI I strong force or
police to gather from all sources , all the
flue Monccau was soon the center or atrac-
, . _ ton for large crowds or IJeople. But order
, % va5 loon restored , the Inhabitants surrounded
by the police guard , and a number of news-
paper men remained about the spot.
The explosion or the bomb threw several
large paving stones Into l the area way , tore
up the pavIng all strrell up the street In an I ,
amazing manner. Holes were made In the i
stone work or several or the houses. The '
porter , It appears , was warned by a valet
who was returning homc and who noticed
the parcel on ( the window ledge. In an Inter-
view published In the Iatn this morning
. . the valet Is quoted as saying that when he
saw the tin box on the window Ledge ho hur-
D" riedly entered the house alI informed the
porter that there was an extraordinary par-
cel on the window. The porter hastened out
. Into the street , took the box and threw I as
- far as he could. The two men then entered
the house and closed the door. ' moment
later there was a tremendous report , asioud
ns a cannon. Neither or the men notced a
fuse attached to the bomb. The police cx-
press the opinIon that the explosion was
dIrected against M. Alhaln , the magistrate
¶ . who conducted the Inquiries In the outrages
committed by Iavachol and other anarchIsts -
Ists , who lIves In the flue Verselay , racing
? the scene of the explosion. '
During the morning the chIef of the mu-
nicipal laboratory was engaged In examining
the scene or the explosIon and'it Is saId that
he Is inclined to think that the explosion was u
more In the nature of a dangerous joke than
an 'anarcbisL trage. 'le' Is reported to have
ascertained ' that the bomb contained
i cntaind no pro-
jetes and that It was apparently qnly
charged with gunpowder. The windows I
br ken ro also said to have ! been broken hy
con usslon and by fragments or the box and
10t by shot or bullets. The machine ; It Is I I
added , was made to explode on contact with I
the ground . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ -

uer Taylor Is being probed more and marc ,
allional evldenco Is coming to light that
his acts involved ,
\ a decp-seated and longeon-
tnued robbing of the state and n conspiracy
among Taylor all other prominent men to
prof by the state funds with immulmummity . To- i
lay time investigation brought out the facts '
that Public Examiner Meyers , to whose careT ,
lesness or Incompetency Is largely due time
he\'y h loss or the slate , secured his present
positon through the hnmeliate work or Tay-
he r. Two years ago , when Governor Shehlon
took time chair Taylor , who had been trensc
urer for two years , and who had been Ilrl
sumably using time state funds In the way ex-
Ilosel , made a strenuous effort to secure the
appointment or a particular friend or hl@
The governor refused. John Krouse of Yank0
ton received the place ngalnst Taylor's effort
eIorl
and protesl. lint when the legislature refused
to submit time prohibitory law , Mr. Krause ,
who Is an ardent prohibitionist , resigned the
place and refused to serve. That was Tay-
lor's b opportunity. The session was drawing
to n close. Time executive was overwhelm
wih worl. . There was no tiumue to investigate
tme Investgate
the qualifications or any candidate. Some
ti re years ago Meyers , time present publc examiner -
miner , was n candidate for congress Ito
lved In Taylor's home town , Hefeld , anti
TaYlor , who' at time time was pulling the
strIng to secure the nominaton as state trcas-
urer , and knowing that two prominent om-
clals could not come rrom time same town ,
made every effort to get Me"ers out or the

lor promised him that at any future Hme he
would do anything In his power to retur time
fa vor. When Krause reslgne therefore , Ta-
lor sent a mutual friend to time goveror amid
secured Ie'ers' appointment. Time nomina-
Ion was a great surprise to everyone , and
e specially to the Johlticians , amid It encountered -
tered t strong opposition before the senate , but
Taylor antI some of his rrlends went Into the

justfed j the expectation or the treasurer. (
Whlo It Is not stated that Myers had any
part In time corrupt dealings In wlmidhi nuth
anll Taylor were concerned , ho neglected or
rerused to malt such examination or the ,
'
treasurer's omce as would detect time croolted- !
ness and bring the criminal to terms. I
Myers himself has admitted durIng time '
tme when , In defiance or all law and against 'I
the t protest or the governor and the other
tate officials , amid despite the angry demand
or the people oC time state , the treasurer
and the land
commissIoner held In their own
hands for sIx months $300,000 belonging OWI to
the school fund of time state , that he saw the
lelr l from Major Ruth to Treasurer Taylor '
Idmlttng that the two were using time public t
money for theIr own beneft and ' , vero de-
rrauilng time state to ballast theIr own for-
tunes. t lint Myers , whlo ho toll some per-
sonals friends or this occurrence at the time ,
did not do what the plain emergency or time
case demanded , namely , mnko an Investga-
ton and see that the officials enforced the t
la\\ l ' . .
Myers also admits that thirty days age
ho l tried to make an examination or time treas-
urer's accounts , and that when the later
refused to make a showing ho expected that
there was a shorlage. His dear dut ' waste I
to promptly take possession or time . ofco and

This acton by time legislature Is expeCted In 0
day or two. There Is no question In the
mInds of the public officials that Tnylor's
allvocacy or Myers was based upon his know
edge l or the public examiner's charactcrlstcs ,
ali while the ofcials are Inclined to the
belief that Myers was sImply guilty or gross

slt the mater to time bottom.

Snit of a 11rookiyn'l1fmltrW to Recover
Thl'co ' 'holslnid : li llr,4 ,
NEW YORK , Jan. H.-SophIa Zemmel , a
widow of Drooklyn , has bgumm suit to recover
$3,000 , against Amelia F. Baker , as executrix
or the estate or George Dibr , who was 1m-
pleated with Seeley I.n Jhl.\Shoo : \ Leather ,
bank steal. I Is claimed that Baker gave
Mrs. Zemmel a mortgage'whrcim ho held on a
house In West One hItiridrd and Twenty-
thIrd street , New York , In I consld raton or
$2,100 , alHI later he Induced' ' rJpaccept his'
otTer . to transfer her mortglge ' to other prop-
crty on limo same street , ' ' % 7i1cii . lie cainiell
he owned. The mortgage Is dated July I ,
1883 , but was noted unt , January 1. 1884.
Time register's date has In sOle mysterious
way been almuidSi- complet1y erascd. This
mortgage Is slgnel by Daker and hs ! \ \ ' \ .
In 1884 Irs. Zemmel gave Dalton $650 more ,
for which he gave her a bond , also signed
by his wlro.
Interest on the mortgage has always been
paid semlannualy up to July I , 1894 , but on
January I , 1895 , default was made. Diligent
investigation has
Investgton revealed that the property
descrIbed In Mrs. Zemmell's second mortgage
consisted or one house alI half another adjoining -
joining ! , neither or which Baker owned.
When the facts oC the caso' were brought
to Mrs. Oaker's notice she denied ab'solutely
having signed either of , time docuinents. Both
signatures arc very much . alike .

" Traveling Men's Iluslness leek Coniparmy" ,
hns h been clammtlcstinei3' caned on In this city
ror limo past few monlhs. Efforts to get
at the Insile workings or the questionable
concern were only
) partially sueessful UI ) to
a rew lays ago. Early In December The
Dee was placed In Possession ; of Inrorma- !
ton to the effect that a scheme or chance I
was being worked under cover In this amid
anl
neighboring states , with hCRiquarters In this ,
c ity. It was also Iatcd thnt there was but ,
ono capital prize , a largo store building on
one or the Ilrlnclpal business streets or Lln-
c oin . Time sale or tickets was chlefy In the I
hands or commercial travelers , who canleil :
bunches or blank certificates , each bearing cnrlel a i
number , amid upon which the minnie or the
purchaser i was written by the seller. The
" certificates" bear a plcturo or time store

prlso h were maintained also nt Chicago , Denver -

and at hastings and OrlHI Islanl , this ( state ,
but I has been Impossible to learn the namcs
or Its agents In every instance I Is known
that conlmerclal travelers having their head-
quarters In Hastngs have sold many or time
lotery l tckets , or numbered certificates , as
wi bo explicitly shown later on At Denver
the business Is In the hands of a relative or
imo principals In this ' ' relatvo
city , but 'ho Bee rep-
resentntvo could only Ind that limo lottery
tckets had ben sold by traveling agents'
running In and out or the Colorado capital .
Every city In Nebraska wlch Is In greater
or less degree a headquarters for commercial
travelcrs harbor an agency for this lottery
swlndlc.
POUND BUYERS IN PLENTY.
The prime movers In this city started out
to sell GOOOO tickets and announced that the
drawing would take place In Lincoln emi New
Year's dny. When that date arrived , however -
ever , It was fOUHI that less than 20,000
tickets had been sold , alI the drawing was
therefore postponed until such tme as the
rul quota or GOOOO tickets could be shoved off
upon gullible suckers. Since New Years ! day
time ChIcago and Kansas City offices have
bren reinforced antI time "business" Is being
' pushed to the uwnost limit . Anxious pur-
' chasers who arc disposed to queston the In-
'tegrHy or , .le concern , arc assured that time

square and that the wheels of the Loulsana
lottery \\,1 be ; borrow for that purpose
A Mr. Hlnlty , who I' said to travel for
Hlbrr Spencer & Co" , of Chicago , with
li qartds here , 'Is credited wllr having I
the active manageme 1t 01 , the whole scheme ,
arid It ISlho who supples the blank cer-
tfcates to any person who wishes to sell
hem. One statement Is that ticket sellers get
10 per cent commission on sales , but It Is
known that some agents receive as high as 40
cents on each dollar ticket sold. nemltances
l1st ) be made on the 1st and 15th or every
month. SOIO of the agents have failed to
remit for tickets sold , which has caused a
great deal or trouble. To this fact , as much
as anything else , was due the postponement
or the date or drawing , as time management
dlscovererd a great many tickets had been
sold upon which no returns had been mamie
) malc
to the head office ! ere.
A HOHDE OF DSCO SOLATES.
Upon the recent date which hnd been Rlver-
Used for time drawing 'r the munificent

supreme momcnt when he would walk out or
