The upper portion of the house was wrecked, a window being .blown a distance of twenty-five yards. Tho perpetrators entered by o window at 4 o'clock, and one bomb was placed in a bedroom and another in a. cupboard in a, corridor. Seven-pound tins of black powder were bound together by a rope, and a iuse and a piece of paraffined rag connected them with a candle, which ,had been placed' among shavings, over which paraffin had been poured. - The powder was timed to explode before workmeh appeared on-tho scene at 6.30. The explosion in the bedroom blew out a candle that had been placed near the second bomb. Some paper with paraffin on it'had been distributed among, the rooms. This was .ignited.
