 Eleven Persons Killed and Thirty
 Injured - How the Accident Oc. cured.
 NEWARK, N. J., Sept 25.-Eleven peo- pie are dead and thirty wounded as the re- suit of the bomb explosion at the Italian celebration last night. The Italian colony residing in the neighborhood of Boyden and Nassau streets had for several days been preparing for the celebration of the feast of St. Rocco. Alfonso Illario, 8 sa- loonkeeper, who on account of his wealth is known as "King Alfonso" was chief mover in the arrangements. A platform was erected in the street next door to the saloon. A statue of St. Rocco was next to the platform. The houses were decorated and the nightfall lanterns were lighted. The band played and fireworks were ex- hibited. A big copper casing mortar was used for the bombs. These were filled with colored fire and shot into the air where they burst, throwing out shower of varicolored sparks. It caused all the harm. The bomb casing is about five inches in diameter and thirty inches long. About il p. m. large bomb was put in the mortar and lighted. It is supposed the bomb exploded in it. There were hundreds of men, women and children standing around watching with great expectancy. When it exploded the air was filled with the shrieks of the injured and dying. Intense confusion fol- lowed. A platoon of police were on the scene and they had difficulty in preventing the frightened multitude from trampling the injured to death. The explosion is supposed to be due to an overcharge of

A Good Display from European
 Nations Assured
 CHICAGO, Sept. 25 A lnSS1ing paper says that England and Germany, through their government representatives, yester- day asked Director General Davis to give them each 100000 square feet of floor space for exhibits, thus settling the inter- national character of the exhibition and assuring displays from great European nations that will surpass anything the Worlds fair management had hoped for. France will expect an area equal to that granted the other powers, and has already begun preparations to excel them in extent and character of her exhibit, so that these three nations alone will occupy fourteen square miles of space. The foreigners want to group their exhibit in the four, great departments of machinery, electricity, fine arts and manufactures.

 STANwooD, BAR HARBoR, Me-, Sept. g. Colonel L. A. Conger, Akron, O: My dear sir-Your favor received. I cannot take part in the Ohio campaign this year, for many reasons, which need not give. but hope no effort will be spared to elect Major Mckinley. His victory at this time is very important to the country and the party. He and MT. Campbell represent the honest differences between the two parties at this time. There is no lodging and no evasion and the voter need not be deceived. The election of Mckinley means the policy of protec- tion and honest money. The election of Camp bell means free trade and the corruption of the currency. l believe Ohio will stand by Mckin- ley. Very sincerely
