BERLIN, August 25.
A mysterious bombing plot against Herr 'Schleimann, a German oil magnate, resulted in his young wife being admitted to a hospital at Hamburg in a serious condition. During the night miscreants, cut all the millionaire's telephone wires and attached a cord from the shutter to an infernal machine in the garden, which Avas loaded with a powerful explosive bomb. It was discovered in the morning, the fuso having failed to cause the requiied explosion. Meanwhile, however, Frau Schleimann trod on a stick which was cunningly connected with a second bomb concealed nearby. This exploded, and she fell unconscious. Her face and arms were cut by a score of fragments of the bomb. It seems that Herr Schleimann was recently the recipient of a blackmailing letter demanding £1250. The millionaire, however, had put the matter in the hands of the police. The dynamite outrage may have, been the blackmailers' revenge. . ' \
