ANOTHER CAR DYNAMITED.
This Time the Dynamiter Was Ex
ceedingly Bold.
Dunmore car No. 143, in-bound, to
charge of Conductor Fox and Motor
man Annon, was dynamited laht night
about 9 o'clock on Adams avenue be
tween Mai ion and Green Midge streets,
almost diiectly In front of the resi
dence of Timothy Uutke, one of the
diiectois of the Scranton Railway com
pany. The flange of the wheel was blown
off by the lorce of the explosion, which
was more than usually severe and a
number of windows in the car wete
bioken. An out-bound car parsed over
the very point where the explosion oc
curred not two minutes before and met
the inbound car on the switch just
aboe. It is believed that the dvna
inite must have been put on the tails
in this interval of time.
