in hIr. Sage’s Office, and the Interior of
the Building “’14:; Completely \Vrecked.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.——Shortly after noon
Friday a man entered the office of Russell
Sage, the great railroad man and financier,
at 71 Broadway, demanded $1,200,000, and
.. an being refused exploded a bomb of some sort
which killed himself and several others, in-
jured Mix-Sage and a dozen occupants of the
building and wrecked the interior of the
structure. '

A United Press reporter saw Mr. Sage in
the drug store into Which he was carried
Titer the explosion. Mr. Sage said:

“A man who gave his name ,as H. D. VVil-
sun came to my office just now—I have
never seen him before. He had a carpetbag
in his hand and said:

“.‘a fiIillion or Your Life!”

“ Ii you will not give me $1,200,000 I will
blow 3. _ u all to pieces.7

“I know nothing further except that I
heard a great explosion, fell. on the floor and
regained consciousness here. The dead man
lying out on the floor of the drug store
there is, I believe, the same man who asked
me for the. in oney.”

, BIuny Killed and Injured.

There were hundreds of people in the
building at the tin). the explosion occurred.
Besides the dynamiter four are said to have
been killed and at least a dozen more or less
injured. Among the latter are General H.
W. Slocum, Russell Sage‘s brother—in-law,
and “lashing-ton E. Conner, the well known
broker, whose offices adjoin those in which
the explosion occurred.

 

 

 

RUSSELL SAGE.

At the time of the shocx Broadway was
throngod by business men and clerks going
to and from luncheon, and by brokers hur-
rying around on business connected with the
various exchanges, which are all near by.
The first intimation that anything unusual
had occurred was th- rattle and crash of
hundreds of panes of breaking glass.

The. Building- “invoked.

Then came a quick, sharp report, which
was heard fully half a mile away, and rat-
tled the windows in buildings for blocks
u‘ound. Tl is was followed by a great cloud
)‘I' dust from the windows of the second
story, in which the offices of the Manhattan
Elevated Railroad company, among which
was Mr. Sage‘s private office, are located.

These offices consisted of a suite of several
rooms on the north side Of the building.
They are completely wrecked. In Mr.
Sa-ge’s private olfice there remained after
the explosion hardly‘an inch of plaster on
the wal s or a recognizable piece of furni—
ture. Practically every window on that
floor of the building was blown completely
out, and there are few in the whole build-
ing which were not partially shattered.

Russell Sagc’s Injuries.

The extent of Mr. Sage’s injuries can be
only guessed at. As soon as possible after
the explosion friends placed him in a, car-
riage and he was driven rapidly away.
When he was taken out of the building,
says an eyewitness, his face was bleeding
in many places as if it had been cut by fly-
ing particles of broken glass, his hands and
face were blackened by smoke and powder
and his clothing was badly torn.

From the excitement under which he was
laboring when the reporters saw him it was
evident that he had received a very severe
nervous shock. He was hardly able to speak
so as to be understood.

A physician who was in the building at
the time of the explosion, who said he knew
Mr. Sage well, but who refused to give his
name, said: ~

“The shock to Mr. Sage’s nervous system
must have been very great. He is more
than seventy-five years old, and even grant-
ing that his physical injuries are slight, it
seems impossible that the consequences can
be other than very serious with him.”

The Dead and \Vounded.

The dead and wounded, besides those
mentioned above, are probably all clerks in
the Manhattan railroad offices and those of
'Washington E. Connor. One body, which
was wrapped in a netting by the firemen
and left lying in one of the wrecked rooms
for some time, was mutilated beyond any
possibility of recognition. A piece of flesh
which was supposed to be the leg of a wom-
an is said to have also been found by the
firemen.

From six to eight badly 'wounded men
were carried into O’Connell’s drug store,
nearly opposite the Arcade building, where
the explosion occurred. The; surgeons in at-
tendance said that only one of these was
likely to die.

Several men were in Mr. Sage’s office
when the awful affair occurred. Among
them was Mr. \V. R. Laidlow, who was
shaking hands with Mr. Sage when the man
with the carpetbag entered. .

“I. B. Laidlow’s Experience.

“This man,” says Mr. Laidlow, “insisted
on having an audience with Mr. Sage. I
had my back to him, but saw the carpet
bag. Almost immediately there was a ter-
rible. explosion. I was thrown down, my
face cut as you see, and abig splinter of
glass driven through my leg.”

Mr. T. H. Tilton, of Fifth avenue, was

standing opposite the Sage building when
the explosion occuirmi. He was talking to
Railroad Commissioner Deane. There was
aloud report, a shower of glass fragments
and then a bod,r hurled t‘v ugh the air onto
the Rector street rid." This was sup-
posed to have been . moral Slocum, but
was afterward form-Cl to be that of another
man.

 
 

‘ ‘Vilson Had an Aceomplice.

A story is told to the effect that the man
Wilson had an accomplice named Robinson,
and that the body l:l:1\‘.'ll through the win—
dow was his.

Mr. Alfred Weston, who is associated
with Mr. Sage in business, says that at the
time the explosion occurred Mr. Sage was
standing talking with his hand resting on a
man’s should-3r. Bo h. appeared to be per-
fectly calm.

“I could not see the stranger’s face,” said
Mr. Weston, “for he wore a slouch hat, but
I supposed that M1‘.Sage knew him, for
they acted in a very friendly way. _

“I turned away for a. moment and ahnost
instantly there was a flash and aloud re—
port. Then everything was dark.

“I made my way to the windows and
broke one to get light and air, and climbed
out. Secretary W’illiams, of the Manhattan
Railway company, and his clerks were put-
ting away their books, and they also climbed
out of the windows. I heard no conversa-
tion between Mr. Sage and the man who
was with him, but they-appeared to be
friendly. ” '

The Force of the Explosion.

General Slocum’s injuries are not serious.
He was struck on the head by some flying
object and badly cut; but after being car-
ried down stairs and his head dressed, he
walked back to the scene of the explosion
and f_lbusied himself in collecting scattered
bonds and securities which belonged to Mr.
Sage.

The force of the explosion was. so great
that the safe. in Mr. Sagc’s office was blown
open and its contents thrown about the
room in great confu:.:ion and through the
windows into Rector street below. It is
highly probable that many valuable bonds
and securities will be found to be lost.

An enormous crowd gathered about the
building in an incredibly short time, and
many of the flying papers Were doubtless
gathered in by onlookers or trampled into
the mud of. the street.

Sage's Comment.

Mr. Sage walked out of the building as-
sisted by Officer Hinnmel. As he passed the
door he said to the officer, “That was a ter—
rible explosion—they meant it this time.”

J. B. Thomas, of 130 West One Hundred
and First street, who owns the cigar stand
in the building was struck by a portion of
the falling ceiling, but was only slightly in—_
jured.

Dr. Matthew Field, whose office is in the
building, escaped by the fire escape. He
was slightly hurt by a falling timber.

Many others whose offices were in the
building made their escape in this manner,
the only one injured being Dr. Field.

Mr. H. \V. Vanderpool, who was in the
building at the time but escaped injury,
said that at the first explosion there was a
strong smell of powder, and a few seconds
later another terrible explosion. He says
that he is inorzfii) certain that it was giant
powder and not dynamite, as the odor of
the two explosives is widely different.

Blown to Atoms.

Upon examination it was discovered that
the fragments of human flesh in the fire-
men’s not were parts Of several bodies in—
stead of one. Among these fragments is a
man’s head completely severed from the
body, but of itself not badly disfigured. It
is that of a young man with thick brown
hair and handsome features.

Mr. S. G. Calhoun, who was near Mr.
Sage’s office when the explosion occurred,
was badly burned on the side of the face,
but otherwise uninj ured..

Very fortunately no fire accompanied the
explosion, although gaspipes were twisted
and broken and escaping gas filled the
building. The absence of fire rendered the
work of getting out the dead and injured
comparatively easy, although the firemen
and police were badly hampered in their
labors by the crowd, which for a time
swarmed unchecked through the corridors
of the building.

The Bomb Thrower.

The man who threw the bomb was among
those carried into O’Connell’s drug store.
He was laid on the floor, where he gasped
faintly for about five minutes and died
shortly after the arrival of the ambulance
surgeons.

Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Sage
announced that the name of his assailant
was Wilson, some claim that his name was
Lord. There is little confirmation of this
story.

Reporters who endeavored to see Mr.
Sage after he had been- taken away were
denied admittance to him, but it was an-
nounced that his injuries were not danger—
ous.

Jay Gould was down town at the time of
the explosion, and on hearing of Mr. Sage’s
injury he dispatched his private physician,
Dr. Munn, to his relief.

The building in which the explosion oc-
curred is a. five story structure, with a front-
age of 50 feet on Broadway and 200 feet on
Rector street. It is a fireproof structure.

It is believed that five persons were killed
outright.

Another Version.

Another story of the affair says that a.
clearer, more deliberate plot to murder
has not been recorded for years. Two men,
entire strangers, entered Mr. Russell Sage’s
office, on the second floor, just before noon,
inquiring for Mr. Sage, and saying that they
wanted to see him on important private
business.

Mr. Sage, who was informed of the men’s
wishes, was at the time talking to his broth-
er—in-law, General H. W. Slocum, of Brook-
lyn. He was seated in a revolving chair at
his desk. He told the clerk to get the names
of the men. One of the strangers, who car-
ried a grip, handed him a card inscribed
with the name of \Vilson'.

Returning, he presented the card to Mr.
Sage, who said, “Let him enter.” The two
men came in together. On this point, how-
ever, reports differ. Some say that only
one man entered, while others have it that
the two men entered. The clerks in the
office say that there was little time to no-
tice any one.

,Mr. Sage asked the men their business,
and the man with the satchel said, very
slowly, “We want $1,500,000, and we want
them right now.” Mr. Sage started at this
proposal, but instantly recovering said that
it was a great deal of money, and that he
would have to think about it. He knew
that he was dealing with a crank and was
sparring for time, but subterfuges were in
vain with this crank.

He said‘he had no time to wait. “The
money is wanted now,” he went on. “In
this satchel I have pounds of dynamite, and
unless you hand over the money up she
goes.” Mr. Sage made one more attempt to
temporize. He had not got the money, he
said. His visitor must come again. At the
word the man made an angry gesture and
raised the satchel at arm’s length.

“You will not 5” he shouted. “Then here
stop.” ,

' .Then followed the explosion.

CRISP FIWHE LINN

His Friends Claim That He Will Get
132 Votes 011 the First Ballot.

CERTAIN or HIs ELECTION.

They Assert That There Is No Possible
\ Connbination “’hichaCan Be blade
by Which His Defeat Can Be
Brought About.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—The friends of
Judge Crisp say that to a very great extent
the speakership contest is practically 'over.
That Judge Crisp, as every one calls him,
Will be the next speaker of the house, they
say, is as sure as any such thing can be at
this time. Of all the candidates he is the
only one who has the names and figures to
bear out the assertions which are made by
those who have been assisting him in the
fight. Mr. Crisp’s estimate as to what the
vote on the first and second ballot will be
shows that he will win the battle beyond all
doubt, and none of those connected with
his canvass has any hesitancy in telling
what the figures are. -

The other candidates talk of the votes
they expect to get or hope to get, but not
one of them refers to the matter in the
same tone of quiet confidence that charac-
terizes Judge Crisp and his friends. The
Whole question has been narrowed down.
The only hope of the Mills men is Springer.
To the man from Texas and his friends
Springer appears as an element of confu—
sion.

, Springer “'on’t “’ithdraw.

They don’t mind his being in the race at
the present time, nor would they object to
his receiving a'complimentary vote when
the balloting begins, but beyond that they
don’t want to see him in the race as a candi-
date, because they think that if his strength
could be swung over to Mills it would be a
very nice thing for their candidate. To ac-
complish that has been almost the sole ef-
fort of those . are said to be working in
the interest In ....-.ills.

 
 

It is supposed that it was just those efforts-

which led the man from Illinois to make the

assertion that. he was not only in the race,

but in it to stay. His remarks would cer-
tainly have been unnecessary had not some—
thing been done tending to create the con—
trary impremion. But, as for that, it is said
here that Mr. Springer has been plumply
asked to withdraw. He not only flatly re-
fused to do so, but would not listen to any
such proposition, no matter by whom made.

It is known, at least, that one of the most
bold attempts was made last night to stam-
pede the friends of Springer. The delegation
from Iowa was fearful that Mr. Crisp might
be elected on the first ballot, and so Mr.
Hayes made it known that he and his col-
league would go for Mills when it came to
the balloting if it seemed at all likely that
Mr. Crisp would be successful on the first
ballot. -

A Critical hinnlent for Springer.

That created a situation in the Springer
camp over whish there was the most in-
tense excitement. It appeared for a time
asif there would be a break, because Mr.
Springer, strong in the belief that the nom-
inee of the caucus would not be elected on
the first ballot, had not objected to the
proposition Of Mr. Hayes. The excitement
ran high when matters had reached that
point, because it was a critical time. But
the four friends of Mr. Springer in the In—
diana delegation appeared just in the nick
of time. The quartet talked the situation
over, and when they had dOne the Iowa
men were informed that if there was to be
any breaking away from Springer their four
votes would certainly go to Crisp.

That proved an efiectual check to the
ardor of the Iowa men for Mills, and the
situation was quickly relieved of embarrass-
ment.

Judge Holman got in town, and the ques-
tion as to the hour for which the caucus
should be called was quickly settled. All
the candidates signed a paper requesting
that the caucus be called early in the after-
noon, Which was presented to Judge Hol-
man, whereupon he issued the following:

There 'will beameeting of the Democratic
members of the house of representatives held
at the hall of the house, commencing at the
hour of 2 p. 111., Saturday, Dec. 5, for the nomi-
nation of candidates for the offices of the house
fer the Fifty—second congress.

WILLIAM S. HOLMAN,
Chairman of the Caucus.

Mr. Mills, though he signed the paper
with the other candidates, was not alto-
gether in favor of having the caucus called
at that hour. He based what objections he
had on the ground that many of the repre-
sentatives wouldInot reach town in time to
attend the caucus. There is little fear of
that,. however, as all are expected to be
here by tonight.

Crisp Claims 13?. Votes.

With each new arrival those who have
the interest of the different candidates in
charge do a little more figuring, and the
Crisp men now announce that they have 132
votes pledged for the Georgian. As there
‘will be a total of 225 votes cast, it is not
difficult to figure how many votes there will
be left to be divided among the other candi—
dates. ,

Even if all should withdraw with the ex—
ception of Mr. Mills, thus leaving the field
as he would like to see it, there is no possi-
ble combination, Crisp men say, that could
be made which would help him in the least.

In fact, if he goes to make any combina-
tions he will simply add to the strength of
Mr. Crisp, and that is the one thing above
all others Of which Mr. Mills and his friends
are. fearful. '

Not much. speechmaking is expected at
the caucus. Judge Hohnan said that he was
against it. It is thought that Mr. Breckin-
ridge, of Kentucky, will present the name
of Mr. Mills, and if such proves to be the
case, it is likely that Congressman Isadore
.Rayner, of Maryland, will do the same for
Mr. Crisp.

The Mielbourne Crisis.

MELBOURNE, Dec. 5.—The suspensions of
banks and other financial institutions noted
in yesterday’s dispatches led to a run on the
Standard bank of Australia, and it soon
closed its doors. The bank’s capital is
£1,000,000, of which £250,000 was called up.
The situation is easier, and it is believed the
crisis is passed. Assistance has been offered
by the principal assurance society of the
colony. A bill to prevent loss to depositors
through compulsory winding up of building
societies contrary to their wishes was passed
by the colonial parliament last night.

 

The Longenecker Jury Disagrees.

NEWPORT, R. 1., Dec. 5.—In the suit of ex-
Sailor Carbrey for damages against Com-
mander Longs-:-reclmr, of the United States
navy, for violently restraining plaintiff of
his liberty after Cal-lacy had been dis-
charged from the service, the jury reported
that it was unable to agree.
