Called to See President. 111 The explosion occurred a few min- . utes before 12 o'clock, at a time when the bank is usually well filled with per- sona in a hurry to transact business before the benk closes. No one saw the - unknownman enter the bank except E. F. Shanbacher, the vice-president, who was passing out of the building on las way to luncheon. He noteed the man was poorly dressed, looked like a Ruasian, and carried a small parcel. The man walked straight back to the rear of the bank and asked a clerk to direct him to the office of the presi- dent, Richard, W. Rouston. What took place in his office is bese told by the president himself: "I was busy when the man entered my office and. I asked him to be seated for a moment. lie was poorly dressed, had patehes on his shoes and his en- tire appearance made me a bit curious. While he was waiting for me to finish the busness I had in band at the mo - anent, I happened to notice that he eooked at me curiously. Asked for Loan of $seoms. "I asked him his business, and he gave his name as G. E. William. and said he wanted a loan of $5,000. Ife did not look like a man who could make a loan of that amount„ and I asked. him for collateral. Be said something aboet an insurance policy and that it would mature in from one to five years. "I was then convinced the man was 3 a crank, and decide- once, not for a moment thinking, there decided to dismie him at e was any harm in him. I toll him at once that he would bave to see the cashier, and directed him out in the banking elep:artment. At the same mo- ment . called my colored messenger, Wm. Crump, to see that the man was quickly taken out taf the building. As T turned to continue my week at the desk there was a terrific explosion Fula I thought the building was coming down. The man had not time to reach the cashier, the explosion came so soon." Then the Explosion. Details as to what actually happen- ed when the num left the office of President Rushton differ, as no one can be found who saw the man drop the bomb. The door of the office of Cashier McLear is only a few feet -from that of President Rushton, and the man must have dropped the deadly . missile between the two rooms. Cashier MeLear was sitting at his desk at the time and hes body was badly mangled. The bomb thrower's body was torn to pieces. .At the time the explosion occurred all the vaults were open, 'Woke were At:piled on desk a and papers of all sorts of value were lying -on desks prepara- tory to being put away for the day. The explosion devastated the interior of the big banking room. Glass and wooden partitions were wrecked and leveled to the ground as thotigh cyclone had swept Omagh the place. Desks were ruined and iron bars were twisted. In fact, there was hardly an object left intact in the room. Of all the persons in the room, at least nine, all of them clerice, were Intel, two of them probably fatally. Three of the injured were sent to the hospital. Panic Followed Enplosion.

Just Like a Snake -Gleaming,. Blazing Bar of Metal Writhed and Lapped About the Doomed Man -Burned to the Bones. Buffalo despatch: Last night Thomas Friend lay dying in the Moses Taylor Hospital, the most horribly burned man ever received in that institution. The flesh is burned off his back, exposing his nine. Flesh is burned off his rib e and his arms and legs. He cannot live. Friend was a head roller in - ono of the rail mills of Lack- awanna Steel Compeny. Early yes- terday morning he was standing at his place near the rollers as the white-hot bands of steel, fresh from a pot of mol- ten metal, were sliding down into the rolls and being formed into rails, when one of them jumped from the roller. Then occurred one of the fearful and weird phenomena of which there are so many in the manufacture elf steel. The whit -hot rail bounded from the roll with terrific force, straight for Friend. Before he -could wink an eye the white- hot band curled like a snake and sbot around his body with its burning mails, roasting his flesh. When it had the man wound in its coils its force was spent and it formed a redhot cone: en- casing the man from his feet to his head. The intense heat kept rescuers away and one of. the heavy electric cranes was run up over the man. A elmin was dropped down and caught on the rail and the redhot easement was lifted. Friend dropped to the floor. His flesh was roasted so it dropped from the hones. are was hurried to the Moses Taylor Hospital, where it was seen he had no chance to. live. Last night Friend was half alive and the surgeons did not think he would Lest until daylight. EXPRfSS WRECKED. TWO MEN KILLED AND SIX INJURED ON TRANSCONTINENTAL.

HISTORIC STATUE UNVEILED IN MEMORIAL PARK, TORONTO. Monument .Erected by Army and Navy Veterans to Soldiers Who Fell in War of issa Completed -Sketch of Military Burying Grounds. Toronto, Jan. 7. -The unveiling of the statute erected by the British Army and Nevy Veterans in Victoria Memorial Pttric, Portland street, took place on sat- urtlay afternoon in the presence of some seventy of the Veterans and a large con- course of citizens. The statue is the work of Mr. W. S. Alward, ans. represents an ota soldier, in the uniforni worn in 1812. The fig- ure, which, is a half-length one, is of ebout twice life size, and is sculptured with -strength and pathos. It rests cm a pedestal eleven feet five inches square, and about fifteen feet high. The pedestal was erected five years ago, but the funds to complete the memorial were not sufficient to warrant, going on with the statue till the past year. The whole monument costs about $4,000, of whieh only some $200 remains to be subscribed. The ceremony was in charge of Major W. A. Collins, of the Garrison Artil- lery. Hon. Dr. A. It. Pyne, repre- senting Premier Whitney, was present and delivered a short addrese. The statue marks the spot where nine coffins were found, on the eite of the old military burying ground, which was in use from 1793 till 1802, when it was closed, and a uew buryieg ground open- ed where Machinery Hall now is. Three sides of the pedestal bear the names of the various regiments to which the soldiers buried in that graveyard be- longed. The inscription on the face of the pedestal reads as follows: "Dead in tbe battle -dead on the field; Moro than his life tan a soldier yield? His blood has burnished. las sabre bright; To his memory, honor; to him, good- night." This monument is to perpetuate the memory and deeds of the officers, non- commissioned officers and men who gave their lives in the defence of Canada in the war 1812-181re and is erected by the British Army and Navy Veterans re- siding in Toronto, aided by- generous subscriptions from the British Army and Navy, and. the citizens of Canada.
