UNDERTAKER SHOP “Miracle!” Cry Scores Driven! Barefoot Into Snow by the Explosion. SHOCK WAS TERRIFIC. | Young Assistant in Establish- ment Is Blown Through Window, but Unhurt. “A miracle—a miracie!” went up the @@cited cry in Italian when scores of | Persone, driven from their beds by an @=plosion in the seven-story tenement @ellding at Nos. 216 and 817 East One Hundred and Gixth street early to-day, Yearned that @ crucifix was the only object unharmed in Ninno Baldassarri's undertaking establishment on the grouhd Goor, where the bomb was set off. And then the crowd in the etreet— Most of its members, men as well as ‘women, being in their night clothes and @any of them barefooted as they stood fa the snow—crossed themselves and uttered prayers. ‘Their feeling of awe wae greatly in- creased when it was reported that Vin- cent Pegno, young night manager for Baldassarri, had been blown from his ded through @ window, carrying the @ash with him, and yet had escaped without hurt. The two strange incidents convinced ‘the frightened, almost hysterical throng that there were other than natural agencies opposed to the forces of the bomb. QT explosion was one of the most severe of its kind the police have heard of in a long time. It rumbled and re- , Verberated all through Harlem's “Little italy,” startling policemen at the East One Hundred and Fourth street station and on thelr posts, blocks away, SHOTS HELP TO SPREAD THE TERROR.

The police think @ business rival of Baldassarri wae responsible for the explosion of the bomb. Baldassarri’s shop was wrecked. 60 were the fronts of Vincent Santagado's Grocery and Guisepp!

Policeman Praszak, on his post 200 feet from the front of the building, was knocked down by the shock of the explosion, Vincent Santagado and hi: wife were sleeping in the rear of his grocery. Both were dumped out of ded by the crash, CRUCIFIX ALONE ESCAPES IN THE WRECK. Every article of furniture in Raldas- @ari's front room was broken. Chairs and desks were in kindling wood about the room. Fragments of shattered pic- tures that had adorned the walle were distinguishable in the debris. The bomb hed been filled with bolts and sluge— dorens of them—and these embedded tn the cracked and wavering walle made the room brittle, But the crucifix remained exactly as ft had been, not so much as scratched or jarred a fraction of an inch from its original position. Reserves, called from the East One Hundred and Fourth street station, had diMculty in getting the tenants to re- turn to their homes. While the police ‘were 80 engaged, Baldassarri, white and excited, ran up and looked at his shop. He had been summoned from his home. “Edo not wish to talk of this,” he said to the policemen who questioned him, “T have been in the neighborhood only a month, I am not well enough @cquainted to express an opinion.” He denied that he had received any letters, elther threats of business rivals or Blackhand demands for money. —————— HIGH OFFICIALS QUIT CLUB.
