Bomb Hurled at Police Wounds tho Thrower and Kills Companion. New York, March 28.-A red flag fluttered In Union Square to-day, a bomb fell, two men lay dying in the people's playground. and New York awoke to the fact that lt harbored those prepared to give their lives in armed resistance to constituted au thority. The bomb was intended for the police, who, with rough firmness, had broken up a meeting of .10,000 un employed. It exploded prematurely in the hands of the assassin, horri bly wounding him, killing his com panion, injuring slightly four police men and . throwing to the ground a score of those who were massed in the vicinity. Bomb throwing in the foreign .set tlements ot the East Side is a rather common occurrence, but to-d?y for the first time an engine of destruc tion was openly and deliberately di rected against a squad of police offi cers. It was meant for Capt. Reillv's squad of twenty men and a longer or slower burning fuse would have per fected an instrument of death for nrobably evory man of the twenty. A labor-or more exactly a labor less-meeting, without police sanc tion, had been advertised to be held at the park this afternoon. In the thousands that gathered were many of a riotous disposition, a large num ber wore red hats and here and there a red flag was displayed. . Suddenly an order to clear the park was given and the 150 police, half of them mounted, charged the jeering, hoot ing crowds, arriving in time to drive them back to the streets of the square circling the park. In the wide st n?(.( s the crowds, fast assum ing the nature of a mob, fell into an indifferent formation and marched about the square. Having cleared the park of all but a few apparently harmless men who occupied benches, the police contented themselves with keeping the paraders moving. En couraged, the procession grew; snouts of derision and oaths directed at the police filled the air, and then, as though by prearrangement the strains of "The Marseillaise" rose from 10,000 throats. The police, hastily reinforced, held themselves In restreint. Capt. Reilly's squad, which had been stationed, at the east side of the square, started at a dou I ble-quick, two abreast, across the park. As they neared the fountain that marks the center of the recreation grounds, a slightly built man darted out from the shadow cast by the he roic statue i f Qeorge Washington, and ran towi rds the officers, whoso backs Were ti med to thoir pursuer. A large man kept at the other's heels. Withli twenty paces of the moving squad the two men halted and the smaller raised a hand in which was clasped a smoking bomb As he drew back his arm to throw the weapon it exploded. The shock that shook the skyscrapers of the square threw a score of people to the ground. Tho assassin and his companion fell, the latter dead with his breast torn out. The bomb thrower still lived, but his right hand had been shot off, both of his eyes were gouged out and his skull and a shoulder was fractured. The four policemen who brought up the rear were Injured, but not seriously, one of them being hit in the foot by a piece of the bomb. A panic followed the explosion and the thousands that surrounded the park crushed together as perhaps half of the number rushed towards the seme of the killing, while as-many moro turned In flight fro ii tho square. Many were Injured a., the mounted police surrounded tho Injured and again drove *)ack the mob. ( Little ls known of the bomb throw er beyond what he has told himself. Rendered unconscious at first, he later regained his senses at a hospital and under prolonged questioning de clared that he had been commission ed to kill tho police. At first ho in sisted that he acted alone, and later, when ho said that his act was In spired he refused to reveal the iden tity of his companion. His first statement was: "I am Seliz Silverstein, 21 years old, and I live at 21 Van Brunt street, Brook lyn. I was told to do this. I bought tho nitroglycerine for the bomb at a drug store at Clark street and Broad way, Brooklyn. I made the homo myself from a piece of gas pipe I have a wife and two children in RUB? sia. I havd been In the Unltod States two years. My nearest rela tive is named Cohen, and lives ar. 21 Park street, Brooklyn. I worked for a tailor named Goldstein." He refused to incriminate others and nothing further had been learn ed from him when he was placed un der an anesthetic preparatory to an operation. There ls little chance that he will long survive. Chamberlain's Has >e Preference. Prod. C. Hanrahan, a prominent druggist, of Portsmouth, Va., says: "For the past six years I have Bold and recommended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy. It ls a great remedy one of the best patent medicines on the market. I handle some others for the same purposes ' that pay me a larger profit, but this remedy is so sure to effect a cure, and my cus tomer so certain to appreciate my recommending lt to him, that I give it the preference."

The committee also acted upon the instructions given by the association to offer a prize of $5 fdr each section. The as? sociation likewise ordered the execu tive committee to petition the city council to offer a prize of $26 for the best kept premises in the town. Following is the petition, which will be presented to the council to-night: "To the Mayor and Aldermen of Seneca* At the last meeting of the Seneca Civic and Improvement Asso ciation it was decided to petition your honorable body to appropriate the sum of $25, to be used as a cash prize for the best kept premises in tho town. It was thought unnecessary to call your attention to the benefits arising from an offer of this kind, as it must naturally appear to you that such a prize will make the effort on the part of our citizens worth while, and will doubtless appeal to you from a sanitary, as well ns an aesthetic, standpoint. the results being natural ly a town healthful as well as a town, beautiful.

Wo want to Impress our country friends with the fact that tho pro posed flower show, which will bo held next fall, is intended for all flower lovers and flower growers, and not exclusively for the members of tho Civic Association, under whoso auspices the show ls given. Nor is it confined to the citizens of Seneca. The main object is to encourage the cultivation of Howers, and it is hoped that flower growers throughout the county will be interested and will be gin now to grow plants for the fall show. . Wo don't know, but we think the signs point to a liveiy contest for the $25 prize the council is going to give for the best kept premises in Seneca. Wo can almost count a new lawn for each Anger, to say nothing of the pleasing absence of tin cans and other debris from the back yards. And, fnally, brethren, the very fact that you say you are not com peting for any prize doesn't do away with the fact that your premises are inspected! _ _M. V. S. For Constipation. L. H.
