PETER’S SHRINE Psonle Fled In Panic But No One Was Killed. CROWDED WITH WORSHIPERS Without Warning Bomb Crashed Be¬ fore Holy Altar and Exploded with Frightful Force—None Killed or In¬ jured. Rome, Nov. 19,—A bomb wai ex¬ ploded lu St. Peter’s Sunday. The edl&ce was' crowded, and an inde¬ scribable scene ot confusion follow¬ ed. There were no fatalities. As soon aa the echoes of the tre¬ mendous report subsided, a canon said reassuring word* to the congre¬ gation, in vain. They fled In all di¬ rections, and a number of women fainted. Women and children scream¬ ed and men tried to protect their fam¬ ities in the crush. The church Is so large, however, that there was ample room for the crowd to scatter, and no one was injured. No trace of the perpetrator of the deed has been found. Since Saint Anaele^us, who was or¬ dained by Peter himself, erected an oratory In 90 A. D., on the site of the-present basilica to mark the spot where the remains of St. Peter are burled, no such dastardly occurrence is noted in the annals of the church. Sunday was the anniversary of the dedication of the basilica, to St. Pe¬ ter, and It was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Holy relics were exposed, and a large number of the faithful attended the services. Car¬ dinal Ram poll a, formerly papal secre¬ tary of state, was among those pres¬ ent. He took part In the Bervlce In the choir chapel. The last mass had Juat been concluded, "when the explosion occurred, and only one oan- on, who had not quite finished, re¬ maimed at the altar of Saint Petronll- la. This altar Is at the end of the right aisle and It was near here that the bomb had been placed. As the canon turned to blew the communi¬ cants there was a tremendous roar, which echoed throughout the lofty arches of the immense dome-like a thunder clap. At the same time a dense smoke spread throughout this portion of the basilica, and a strong odor of gun¬ powder filled the air. Confusion and panic at once seized the people. The canon at the altar tried to stem the tide of fear. He shouted out: "Do not be afraid; it is nothing, merely the noonday gun.” His words, however, had little effect. They were refuted by the smoke and the pungent smell of pow¬ der, and the people continued their headlong flight. Chairs were over¬ thrown, making the confusion more serious. Men and women fled, stum¬ bling in all directions, the screams of children and cries of anguish were heard on all sides, and for a rew mo¬ ments It seemd as if nothing could obviate a grave disaster. The vast size of the church, however, gave room for the crowd to scatter and at the end of a few moments the peo¬ ple were surging toward the doors, excited and nervous, but orderly. As soon as the smoke cleared away a hasty examination showed that no¬ body had been hurt In the crush, and further more that no one had been wounded by the explosion. Calm was gradually restored and people return¬ ed to view the extent of the damage. It was discovered that the bomb had ben placed under a scaffolding which had been erected to facilitate repairs to the roof exactly over the celebrated tomb of Clement XII, by Canova, which consists of a figure of the popj apd two lions, and which Is the most remarkable piece of sculp¬ ture In the baseiHea. This bomb ranks among the finest efforts of mod¬ ern sculpture, and by Its execution, When the first gendarmes reached Canova established his reputation. When the first gendarmes reached the spot the scaffolding was fund to be smouldering, but this fire was easily extinguished. The tomb was found to be absolutely uninjured, and even the_ pavement shows scarcely any signs of the explosion' An examination of the remains of the bomb.led,to the supposition, un¬ less It was crudely prepared on pur¬ pose to mislead, that It was manu¬ factured In the country and brought into Rome. It is believed that the bomb had a very long fuse in or¬ der to enable the criminal to gain the plaza before the explosion. It has been impossible to trace' him, and no one has any recollection of seeing a man who. by Bis movements, might have aroused suspicion. HE MAY BE DOUBLY GUILTY. Assailant of Mrs. Cayip Charged with Similar Crime. Atlanta;' Nov. 19.—Will Johnson, the negro, who was arrested last Friday by County Policeman Bun- tyn, and lodged In the Tower on sus¬ picion of having assaulted Mrs. J. N.
