BELFAST'S WEEK-END.
RIFLES AND BOMBS FREELY USED. SIX DEATHS. LONDON, March 19. _ There was a sanguinary week-end in Belfast, with many outrages, resulting in six being killed and a score wounded. The miscreant who bombed a tramcar on Saturday was helped to escape by colleagues, who put up a revolver barrage. Tho most wicked atrocity was the flinging of a bomb at a bedroom window of an aged Catholic lady who was wounded, and her niece wns killed. Tho explosion attracted hundreds of members of rival factions, who sniped at each other for hours. The gunmen thereafter wore apparently immune, from interference, and shot indiscriminately, wounding many with rifles and bombs. The police raided St. Mary's Hall, tho Sinn Fein headquarters, and seized voluminous documents.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
