Never in the history of the metrop- | tis is it probable that an event has ccurred that for the time has caus- d more excitement in Wall street ad lower Broadway.

It was twenty-two minutes past 12 when the explosion came, with a force that was absolutely startling, completely wrecking the) second story of the building, throw | ing pedestrians on the street to the ground and startling people for blocks around. RUSSELL SAGE NOT BADLY HURT. Those who were close at hand sawa man blown through one of the windows of Sage’s office into Rector street. A few winutes later Mr. Sage himself, with blood streaming from his face and hands, was helped out | into the street and taken to O'C on-| nel's drug store, just below Wall} street on Broadway. There also was the man carried that was blown | through the window. Within ten minutes after the ex- plosion Dr. A. P. Munn,the physician of Jay Gould, was at the side of Mr. Sage and personally attended to his injuries, which proved not to be of a serious vature. The hair and eye- brows of the millionaire were burn- ed and his face and hands cut by sinall particles of ylass and plaster, the result of the explosion. Mr. Sage, though suffering from tbe shock, made the following state- ment while his wounds were being dressed: “A man who gave his name as H. D. Wilson came to my office justnow. I had never seen him before. He had a carpet bag in his hand and said: ‘If you do not give $1,250,000 I will blow you all to pices.. I know nothing fur- ther except hearing a great explo- sion, falling on the floor and regain ing consciousness here. The man lying on the floor of the drugstore is, I believe, the same one who ask- ed me for the money.” When Mr. Sage’s wounds were dressed he was taken home in a cab. TWO DEATHS IN A SHORT TIME. In the meantime the crowds in| the streets grew larger, the elevated | { trains from up town bringing thous ands to the scene, all impelled by curiosity. For an hour confusion reigned. Then the police feund their hands and something compact list of the killed and injm- ed was had.

The papers contain frequent notices ot rich,pretty and educated girls eloping with negroes, tramps and coachmen. The well known specialist, Dr. Frank- lin Miles, says all such girls are more or less hysterical, nervous, very impulsive, unbalanced,usually subject to headache, neuralgia, sleeplessness, immoderate crying or laughing. These show a weak nervous system tor which there is no remedy equal to Restorative Nervine. Trial bottles and a fine book containing marvelous cures free at H.L.

It is of the ut- most importance that the blood should be kept as pure as possible. By its remarkable cures of scrofula, salt rheum, etc , Hood's Sarsaparilla has proven its claim as the best blood puritier. For a general family cathartic we confidently recommend Hood's Pills. They should be in every home medi- cine chest. Came Back With a Fortune.

Where Women Sometimes Carry Their Money and Valuables. The lamented Emma Abbot. carried her most valuable jewels constantly with her, secured in a petticoat-pocket. A great many wealthy women out of the profession do the same thing. The chamois pocket in the underskirt is # favorite jewel-bay, and is often made use of in traveling. Women are stil! fond, however, of thrusting bills into an envelope and pinning them inside their stays. An amusing incident. growing out of this practice. was witnessed in a Fifth avenue stage, New York, very re- cently. Three young women, evidently strangers inthe city from their talk, goton inlower Fifth avenue, finding separate places in the well-filled ve- hicle. Two made no move to pay fares, but the third, who was presuma- bly the treasurer of the party. took out her purse and looked for a coin. There was none inside. She searched through twice, then caught the eye of each of her companions and rapidly telegraphed herdilemma. They had no money, and as the situation and its one relief dawned upon them their faces were | divided between a desire to laugh and | impending fear lest their dignity might | be assailed. Meanwhile. the driver rang for attention. and the first youny woman, endeavoring to assume a stolid | appearance. began operations. Money she evidently had but it was in rather j an inaccessible pl She wore a snug- | fitting tailor-made jacket. whose but- |tons yielded stubbornly to her gloved was a still more snug- le bodice. Confessedly nervous now. and with progress further impeded by the driver's importunities, a couple of the small bodice buttons were loosened and poking fingers endeavored to draw out the concealed funds. This did not answer, however. and, desperate at last, the girl peeled off her glove and succeeded in her quest, but not until the risibilities of the entire stage full of people had been severely strained — Ci hicago News.
