The Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. June 25, 1891
Explodes While Two Children Were Examining It.
New Bedford, Mass., June 24. -- On memorial day the anarchists in this city 
held a jo???ication at the farm of a Bohemian named Mastalla, who lives at the 
extreme north end of the city, on which occasion Johann Moss, now serving a 
sentence in New York state, was present.  When the family of Mastalla proceeded 
to clean the house, which had been occupied by visitors, an eight-year-old son 
found in a match safe a dynamite bomb.

It was shown to his fifteen-year-old sister by the lad, and while she was 
examining its structure, it exploded, tearing the flesh of the girl's left hand 
so badly that it will be necessary to amputate the ends of all four fingers and 
thumb.  The boy was knocked senseless, and another daughter, who was standing 
close by, had the flesh of one hand badly lacerated.
