THE B0M6THR0WER
Identity of the Man Who At-j
tempted Russell Sage's Life.
A MAN FROM MASSACHUSETTS.
He Wni Formerly A Hond llroker at
Somerville, ami Ills Namo Was Henry
I Norcross NoMollie for the Terrible
Deed.
feoSTON, Dec. 13. Henry L. Norcross,
of Somerville, who conducted a note
brokerage business in this city, has been
missing ein:e the middle of last weak.
According to The Globe detectives
from jNow York were in town yesterday
trvinir to i lentif v the missing man us
the mysterious personage who threw a
bomb in Russell Sage's office in New
York last Friday with such deadly ef
fect. The officers navo in their possession a
trousers button und portions of the
cloth of the trousers worn by tho bomb
thrower, as well as a piece of his coat
and portions of Ins undei clothing. These
articles, The Globe says, wore taken to
the Norcross residenco, in Somerville,
during the afternoon, where tho under
clothing was positively identified by
Mrs. Norcross as belonging to her hus
band. The trousers of the dead dyna
miter were stamped "Brooks, tailor,
Boston." Mr. Brooks was visited by the
officers and shown the fragments of
cloth. Alter a careful examination he
etnted positively that he had made for
Henry Li. Norcross a coat of the same
cloth presented, and also a pair of
trousers of tho same cloth as the other
piece furnished by tho detectives. The
button he also identified as one peculiar
to his establisment.
Henry L. Norcross, tho missing man,
was about twenty-eight or twenty-nine
years old. He graduated from tho
Somerville high school about five years
ago, since which time he has conducted
a note brokorage business at 12 Pearl
Btreet, this city. There is no doubt but
that Norcross has been missing since the
day before the attempt was made upon
tho life of Russell Sago, and this, taken
in connection .vith the identifications of
the fragments of clothing and under
clothing made yesterday, would indicate
that Norcross was the man who startled
the woild with his insane scheme of
forcing a va&t sum of money from Rus
sell Sago.
Norcross' father believes that the dead
man is his son, but he can assign no mo
tive or reason for the commission of
such a deed on his son's part.
A photograph of the dead bomb
thrower's head has been compared, with
a likeness of Mr. Norcross taken about
bix months ago and tho resemblance is
Btriking. Mr. Norcross senior says that
his son left home the day pieceding the
New York affair, stating that ho was
going on a business trip first to Provi
dence, thence to Hartford, New Haven,
Worcester and Fitchbuig. Since then
he has not been 6een by the members of
his family. His mother has not been
told ot his probable connection with the
bomb throwing, but has been led to sup
pose that he mot his death in some rail
road accident.
Tho acquaintances of Norcross are
loth to behevo that he could have done
buch a deed, and say that he has never
been hoard to express his hatied of
Russell Sage or any other capitalist, and
as far as could be judged, he was the
last one to be suspected of attempting
such a crime. His schoolmates and
social acquaintances, however, agree
that he was studious, and at times
morose and moody, while it is said that
his grandfather was insane shortly bo
fore his death.
Norcrot3 has been employed in several
city banks, and just prior to going into
business for himself, was in the employ
of Mosely & Company, brokeis in State
street. He was twenty-seven years of
age, about five feet ten, black hair and
eyes, rather thin features and tho last
few months has been clean shaven. He
is spoken of as having been an interest
ing conversationalist and a mind-reader.
It is said that he did not graduate from
the Somerville high sch6oI, as previously
stated, but left before he had completed
his full course of study.
He entered considerably into society,
andj being unmarried, was generally ac
companied by his mother, to whom he
was warmly attached. The Norcross
house in Somervihe adjoins that in
which Column, the Somerville milk
man, was so brutally murdered a few
years ago. It is stated that the persons
engaged in this investigation are not
New York detectives, but are New
York newspaper men. From thd pres
ent outlook they' seem to have been as
successful in their search as professional
detectives could have been.
Identification Complete.
New York, Dec. 12. The World this
morning says that the identification of
Norcross, the bomb thrower, wan made,
complete at midnight at the morgue by
Herbert M. Howes, of Somerville, Mass.
Hr. Howes was a schoolmate of the dead
man and positively identified him.

POSTED ON EXPLOSIVES.
The Very Smell of an Explosion I.ay Up
tho WIiolo Neighborhood
New Yomc.Dec. 12. "A nitro-glycor-ino
headache will make a man about as
uncomfortable under his hat as anything
I know of," said an oil producer from
Bradford, Pa., to a group of men who
were discussing tho hensational attempt
upon Russell Sago's life. "A single
whiff from a can of tho explosive will
make a man imagine ho i3 'nst getting
over tho eifecls of ani&ht with tho boyB.
Nitro-glycerine, as you may know, is
utilized very extensively in the oil coun
try for Bhooiiug oil wells.
"Huudieds of toiis of the explosive
aro used every year, and tho men who
manufacture it and torpedo wells would
make a small army if they were all
turned loose together in Central park.
The business they follow, too, is about
as thtugerous as the military business in
war time, for not a year passes that a
dozen or moro shooters, as the men who
torpedo the wells aro called, do not get
blown up. Nitro-glycerine goes off at a
very slight shock, or at contact with file
and in the country a man who handles
glycerine is looked upon as an unfortu
nate being with ono foot in the grave.
The chances are ten to one that if he
sticks to tho business long enough ho
will be blown up.
"A nitio-glycerine headache is caused
by the smell of the nitric and sulphuric
arids which are used in making the ex
plosive. Sweet glycerine oil, as every
one knows, is a very harmless liquid, but
when subjected to tho action of the two
acids named, the resulting milk-like
fluid is the most deadly explosive agent
known. Men who make nitro-glycerino
aro at first subjected to these terrific
headaches, but after a few days in the
factory they become acclimated to the
smell, if such an expression is permissi
ble. But if they knock off work for a
day or two they are compelled to under
go fhe acclimating experience again.
"A single drop of nitro-glycerine ex
ploded upon an anvil with a sledge ham
mer would probably blow the hammer
thirty feet in the air. I knew of a black
smith who was repairing a nitro-glycerino
wagon in the oil country one day
when there was a loud explosion and the
wagon was literally taken all apart and
scattered about his shop. A few drops
of glycerine had leaked from the cans
and lodged in the framework of the
wagon. Strange to relate, the black
smith escaped injury, but he at once
hung up in his window a little card up
on which was written, in a sledge ham
mer hand:
No nitro-glycerine wagons need apply.
"One day, in the Titusville oil field, a
nitro-glycerino manufacturer was stand
ing in front of a hotel absent-mindedly
kicking the flagstone walk, when there
was a report about as loud as tho snap
of a cap; the man flow up in the air
about a foot and let out a yell that was
heard a block away. When he got back
on terra firma again and looked at his
feet the shoo was torn all to pieces. In
working about his glycerine manufac
tory he had evidently saturated his
shoes with a few diops of the explosive,
which were set off by the stamping of
his foot."
Missing Kroner.
New York, Dec. 12. Frederick
Kreusler, tv enty-f our years old, a son of
Arnold Kreusler, the wealthy bioker
in brewers' supplies, has been missing
binco Nov. 30. The missing man was
put in chai0e of theMcCormickbiewery
m Roxbury, Mass., in March last. On
the day of his disappearance he was seen
by one of the employes standing in front
of the brewery. He has not been seen
since. Young Kreusler carried a brown
macintosh coat and had between &700
and $800 in his pocket. Whoever finds
him will receive a large reward from
his father, who is almost heartbroken.

iiiuiiut Uesperadoe Capture.
Wichita, Kan., Dec 12. The United
