On this the man dropped the leaher bag, and an explosion, which shook the entire block, instantly followed. Mr. Sage was thrown and stmned. Mr. Laid law, standing within a ‘few two, was also thrayn across office and had ore leg badly lacerated. The stranger was thrown against the partition wall and was ‘most severely in- jured of the three. There were three others whose names could not beascertained at the moment, who were also injured.

The story is that at 12.15 o'clock this afternoon a small, welldressed man, ap parently about 35 years old, carrying a leather bag. called at Russell Sage’s office on the second floor of No. 71 Broadwey, and asked to see Mr. Sage. W.B. Laidlaw, Mr Sage’s clerk, told him that Mr. Sage was busy, and could not be sen.

How they escaped death no one knows, for the confusion was so great for half an hour after the occurrence that no details of the 18) narrow escape that many must have had could be obtained. The scene in the wrecked Office of Rus- sell Sage after the explosion was one « ruin and chaos. e large main office has a small office on each side. The explosion apparently occurred in the main office, and extended its force westward toward the larger of the smaller offices, and through it to the offices of the elevated railroad. In Mr. Sage’s main.officethe--furniture was overturned and broken, the walls and ceil- ings were bared of plaster in great patches, the little closet built under the wash basin was wrecked, broken ink bottles and other office implements were scattered about, an‘i valuable papers were strewn over the floor. MR. SAGE WORSE. A telephone message at 4 o'clock from Mr. Sage’s house announced that Mr. Sage was probably much worse hurt than was at first supposed. It was necessary to carry him up the stairs to his door. No one is admitted but the servants. WHO WAS THE FIEND ? The scene in the wrecked office of Russell Sage after the explosion was one of ruin and chaos, furniture being wrecked, ceilings demolished and part of the brickwork demolished. Ina hallway just outside the door lead- ing to Mr. Sage’s main office was found the shockingly mangled body of a man. trunk and legs were ina state that wo' have made recognition impossible, but the head, which the police heen severed from the marks of the explosion. As the trunk and legs lay ina net of rope brought by the firemen, they looked like a bundle of ragged old clothes and were absolutely without human semblance. e€ man wore a poin reddish beard. The face looked like that of a man of education. The police from time to time brought lit- tle clots of blood from the office and laid them carefully with the body. There was blood «n the wall close to the door, through which the man had apparently straguled. These remains have since been recognized as those of the dynamiter. What was left by the explosion of the madman’s body was laid out for burial. The head was there, blackened, bat neither cut nor disfigured in any way. It was cut off at the top of the neck and looked for all the world like the mask of a man 35 or 40 years old, with a full beard that might have been long, but was now burned close to the chin and neck. Then there was a leg, the The body proper was gone ; of neither che-t nor abdomen was a trace found.

Mrs. Flower, who has a handsome fortune through the bequests of rela:ives, does the same. Between them they gave St. Thomas’ Church, in New York city, $0,000 to erect, asa memorial to their son. the building known as St. Thomas’ Heuse, at Fifty- ninth and Sixtieth streets and Second avenue. The Flower Hospital, connected with the Homeopathic Medical College in New York, was a gift from Mr. Flower. Two years ago he joined his brother Anson in building a $100,000 church for Trinity Episcopal Church in Watertown. In making this gift the only conditions imposed were that the seats should always be free. In the village of Theresa, where-Mr. Flower was born, he erected, at his own expense, a handsome church as a memorial to his oe score of r, but worthy amilies in Watertown have, for some slight service, been given comfortable homes, and many others have been helped in various ways.
