With a roar that was heard at Police Headquarters and as far north as Four- teenth street, a bomb exploded In the doorway of Ignatz Sethmater's butcher shop, No. 70 James street, corner of Oak strect, at 2.90 this morning, The flash Muminated the street and every pane of glass in the row of tenement houses across the street was shattered, The explosion rocked the Oak street station as if there had been an earthquake. Capt. O'Toole, half dressed, rushed for the scene at the head of the reserves. Bomb explosions are a novelty in that nelghborhood, the last one having oc- curred five years ago, When the police arrived the air resounded with the shrieks of frightened neighbors, The darkened hallways of the tenements and the fire escapes swarmed with men, women and children in scant attire, screaming hysterically that the whole block was «out to collapse. Everybody was lugelng something—trunks, beds, chairs, mirrors, whatever was handiest for them as they fled from their rooms, The butcher shop was a wreck. powerful th the bomb that it lifted two chopping blocks, each welghing pounds, and hurled them against the ceiling, smashing the plastering. ‘They dropped with such force that they dented the flooring. The two front doors were ripped from thelr hinges, the plate-glass front blown in and the refrigerator wrecked. TWENTY MEN DASHED OUT OF WINDOWS. Next door, at No. 701-2, about twenty men were in Michael Tallnteo's coffee saloon. ‘They were lifted from their seats and dashed madly through the rear windows. Tables, chairs and cof- feo urn were overturned, and crockery smashed, A block away a hori tached to a newspaper delivery wagon was keeled over. ‘The reserves had their hands full with the panic stricken people, and it was fully an hour before all the frightened tenants were persuaded to return to their rooms, dragging their salvage af- ter them.

Hoye, Who Had Been Robbed Once, Su of New Acquaintance icious OPENLY DOUBTS WORD. |He is Later Found Dead on Street and Theodore Schneider Is Arrested. Theodore Schneider, a cloth cutter, was arraigned !n Harlem Police Court | to-day and held on a charge of having inflicted the wounds which caused the ; death yesterday in Bellevue Hospital ot Dr. J. C. Hoye, a physician of New- castle, Pa, Detectives Taft and Tacs- kowsk! furnished evidence to the effect that Schnelder had threatened to kill Dr, Hoye within a few hours of the time when the doctor was found in front of No. 98 East Eighteenth street with his skull fractured, his derby hat bat- tered in, his watch and chain and a roll of $75 undisturbed in his pockets. A peculiar feature about this caso 1s that Schneider, the man accused of causing Dr. Hoye's death, never saw| Dr. Hoye until Thursday morning. They | met by accident and apparently con- | ceived ap Intense antipathy toward each other from the start. This antipathy, the detectives say, grew in Schneider's case to murderous rage that eventually |impelled him to stalk the doctor from his lodgings and beat him to death with a club or blackjack. PHYSICIAN WAS ROBBED ON LAST VISIT TO NEW YORK. Dr. Hoye was accustomed to pay semi-annual visits to this city for the purpose of attending lectures on ob- |stotrical surgery at the Post Graduate | Hospital, Twentieth street and Second avenue. On previous visits he had stopped at the boarding house of Mrs. {Guldorf, No. S12 Second avenue, which jis frequented by medical students. On his last visit to New York in the Spring Dr, Hoye was held up in Eighteenth street near Third avenue and robbed of his wftch, scarf pin and money. He came to New York from New- castle Thursday morning early and went to Mrs, Guldorf's boarding house. She was in bed, Dr. Hoye notified the servant that he would go to a saloon on the corner of Nineteenth street and return in about an hour. The doctor was sitting in the back ‘room of the saloon when a well dressed, oogd looking, affable stranger entered ‘and asked Kim to have a drink, The two got Into conversation and each tn- |troduced himself to tho other, The stranger sald he was Theodore Schnel- der and that he lived at No, 312 Second avenue, Dr, Hoye became suspicious at once. \He recalled his last expertence in New | York. “Pm on to you New York confidence men," he sald to the stranger, “I sup- pose you were looking for me to come back after robbing me last spring, I dont know whether your name 1s Schnelder or not, but you dont live at No. M2 Second avenue, because 1 know the landlady ana I live there myself.” | WILD WITH RAGE, HE ATTACKS THE PHYSICIAN. | Schnelder became wild with rage. He reached over the table and punched the doctor in the face. The bartender put Schneider out, A few minytes later the + doctor left the saloon and started for Mrs, Guldort's, Schneider was waiting for im on the corner, “Come with me to Mrs, Culdort's, shouted Schnelder, “and I'll show you I'm no Mar." ft two men got to the board- they were met by Mrs, Cul- » confirmed Schneider's story that he was a lodger in her house, ha ing engaged @ room since the doct last visit, “Now you see," yelle | pulling off his coat and st dootor, “It is you who are | Mrs. Culdorf. and rder, threw thems: Sehnelder, ng for the the Har." einer, tastin: Nine Minutde ¥ (and held him while Dr. Ho Miles in Nine Minutes to Save | jimeeif in a room, Schneider was per- Jew Yorker" |xuaded to leave the house after a time | bs Naw tker's Home, land then Dr, Hoye, on beins advised TREE » Conn, Nov. &-The that Mra, Culdorf had.no foom for him, auto chemical engine made a seven-mile went out and engaged lodgings at the jrun over rough roads at daylight this house of Mrs, McCarthy at No, 993 Sec: | morning In In responding | ond avenue. to a te hone ala of. fire from the At 4 o'clock in t afternoon Schnel- summer home of Assemblyman 8, De}der returned to Mrs. Guilort’ He Witt Wells, of New York City. wae guite drunk and very volsy | ze started In Mra, Wells's bed- | “Where ts that fat ——?" he shouted. \d was discovered before tt had) “I'll do him Vil fix him.
