Mr. Sage Severely Injured—The Latest Fartloulars. N e w Y o r k , Dec. 5.-^A terrific explosion occurred yesterday afternoon in the old Union Trust building at 69, 71\ §.nd 73 Broadway. It is also known fea the “Ar- , cade.\ It runs through to Trinity place and. is used for egress from the Reotoi Street Elevated railroad station. \ I’he noise of the shopk was frightful and. caused a panic in the entire lowei part of the city.. It was caused by a dynamite bomb ex­ ploded in Russell Sage’s office. Mr. Sage was badly hurt, but will live. The man who threw the bomb and oneof Mr. Sage’s clerks were killed. Several others were killed and many persons were injured. « Tbe explosion was the work of a fiend, whether insane or not is yet unknown, who went to Russell Sage's office with the purpose of assassinating him. WANTED TO SEE MR. SA,(3E. 1C story is that a t 18:15 o’clock yesterday afternoon a small, well-dressed man, ap­ parently about 35 years old, carrying a leather bag, called at RussellSage’soffice, the second floor of 71 Broadway, and asked to see Mr. Sage. W , B. Laidlow, Mr. Sage’s clerk, told bina that Mr. Sage was busy and could nob be seen. The man persisted and con­ tinued to talk in a loud tone. Mr. Sage, ■who was in the inner office, came out to what was the matter. He asked the man what was wanted and the man said: “I demand a private interview with you.” You would think perhaps it quick tim e to ride FROM FONDA to Glovers-nlle in seven minutes, and it surely is, but we must re­ member this is an age of ad­ vancement, and for proof of thi, assertion we wish to show To Gloversville and vicinity that we are leaders 'in Carpets^ Wall Paper and Cur­ tains. If there is doubt I I S I your minds as to the truth of what \we say, we would like SEVEN MINUTES or as much more of your tim e as you are willing to give us, and we \will demonstrate the truth of the statement. Come in and see the new things in wall paper for next o season ; the goods are coming in, a nd if you can anticipate your wants a little, you can be cer­ tainly s ix months in advance of the season.

Mr. Sage inquired with what he? could oblige, and the man with the satchel re plied: “We want,” he said, slowly and distinctly, “one million, two hundred thousand dollars. We want them right hero and now.” Mr. Sage started back, but instantly re covering his presence of mind, said it wn: B great deal of money and he would have to think about it. KNEW HE \WAS A QRANK. Be knew that be was dealing with a crank and was preparing for time. But subterfuges were in vain with this crank. He had no time to wait and he said so. “We cannot wait. I told your clerk our business was urgent. The money is wanted now. In this satchel I have dyna­ mite, . pounds of it. Unless you hand the money, up she goes.” Mr. Sage made one more att( temporize. He had not got be said. His visitor might *c At the word the man made an angr gesture, and raising the satchel a t arm’ length, “you will not?” he said, “then her goes.” An. explosion followed which almost raised the roof from the b-uilding, and Mr, Sage was blown clear through the doorway of his private office and across theroom where he landed in. a bank of rubbish.

There was blood oh the wall close to the door, through which the man had apparently straggled. The remains have since been recognized as those of the dynamiter.
