A hundred and fifty bombs were discovered in houses of two Jews here and has caused an anti-semitic feeling stirred to a dan gerous pitch. One of the bombs exploded as the police were removing them, wounding eight officers, which increased the sentiment against the Jews. It is feared that another mas sacre will follow, and, it is said, the Jews being forbidden to carry arms took this method of protecting themselves. Originated in Basement From Unknown Cause. PLANT TO BE REBUILT IN THE SPRING. The Urjcst aid Most Destructive Fire in This City. for Many Years The largest and most destructive fire in Concord for years was that last night which destroyed the plant of the Yorke Furniture Factory, the entire plant, with the exception of the finish ing room and a lot of lumber on the north yard beyond the railroad switch. The fire originated shortly after 6 o'clock in the basement of the large ' house in which was all the machinery, engine and boiler room attached and the machinery of the lumber machine shops. Very soon, scarcely before an alarm had been sounded, the building Was wrapped in a sheet of raging flames, devouring the large building like mad. Though there was a down pour of rain and a favorable wind the flames found ready material and spread rapidly. The immense plant, the dry : kiln, with its many thousand feet of lumber, made material for burning, making in all a hre that though far . away cast an illumination over city and arroused the people for miles around.' The plant of the Yorke Co. is lo cated along aide the main line or tne Southern above the Gibson "mill. At the upper side of the- property a side track comes in, the space between this anal the main line forming a V. The buildings were located in this V except the finishing room, which was across the side track some distance. This building and a lot of lumber piled in the yarda were the only properties , saved. All the machinery waa in the big - house in which the fire originated in the basement floor next to the railroad. In the north end waa located' the ma chinery of the .lumber' and . dressing department, which I 'fumed out builders supplies, the furniture machinery in the remainder of ' the room ' in . this building. To the aide and connecting ; was the engine and boiler room and ; just off a short distance the dry kilns, containing about 250,000 feet of lum ber, all of these being a total loss. -' The buildings were all frame, the , dry kilns being built with btkk parti tit tons, the whole making a : big fire ;.. .'.J timrmiv tint, maa-ina that 'wnrk' of III. MMVW .., . . . fighting the flames a great difficulty. The rain fall and a favorable wind saved the spread to the furnishing building and the lumber yards.' There was no water in reach and the depart' ment could do little towards hindering the flames in their destructive work. It was good work and hard though that saved the finishing room. ; . The loss ia at least $50,000, with (insurance to cover some of the total loss. The Yorke Furniture. Co. of 1 which B Harris is president and N F Yorke is secretary and treasurer was one of the thoroughly established en- erpriset of this city. It has a capital tock of something over fifty thousand V.iars. The inventory last May owed $140,000 of properties 'owned y the company. .It had a. large !ount of manufactured furniture in e finishing room, though all the' uerial in the other building was de The buildirgs will be rebuilt and e business resumed.

There was quite a good deal of this and the insurance in part applied on this house. While the net loss will be heavy there is considerable insur ance to apply to the destroyed prop erty. The total amount of insurance car ried by the company on the entire plant was $55,000, of this $40,200 ap plies to that property destroyed the ' Arrest Man Wanted by Salisbury Police. Washington, D.

The company employed more than a hundred hands, many of them working in the factory. The Western Union polls and wires on this side of the track were damaged, several polls being down and this handicapped the handling of messages over this line. The near ness to the track and the damage done to the wires alsu interfeared with the Southern trains passing through the early hours of the night BIS CHRISTMAS BOX.
