CHICAGO, ,ly 17.-By the premature
explosion o. a fireworks bomb at IL
o'clock last night at an Italian picnic
four people We're killed and a number
Of others injured.
The bomb was fired from an extern
ported mortar, and was intended to be
exploded high in the air, the explosion
to be accompanied by a shower of bril-
liant fire. Just as the charge was
about to be fired. there was a deafen-
ing roar and the liquid fire
and burning explosives, together
with the pieces of the mortar
containing the bomb were hurled in
every direction. Hundreds of persons
were standing about the spot and the
Hash and the report were followed by
the cries OF those stricken to the earth
No lights were at first to be had and
the dead and wounded lay together be-
meath the feet of those who were able
to escape Many fell bleeding and
bruised and before they could be cared
for all the lights on the grounds were
eXtinguished and increased darkness
added to the panic.
The fire and fragments of the mortar
seemed to pillow their way through the
dense crowd to the outmost circle of
onloolzers- In moment the picnic
grounds were the scene of unlimited
confusion. The merry making had
been in progress all evening and at the
approach of darkness those present
concentrated near the spot from which
the display was to emanate. Some pre-
caution had been taken to keep order
among the onlookers, and an effort was
started to keep all save those in charge
removed from the stand where the I'M
exploded fireworks were stacked up.
This was partly successful, and those
killed and in ured were chiefly persons
in charge of the display.

hibits were closed. The building was
visited by many people during the day,
however, but most of them spent
their time sitting upon chairs in
the long avenues running through
the building and viewing the white
canvases which shut out the coveted
sights within. Other buildings had
their usual Sunday crowds, the great
est number of visitors thronging the
art palace. the Krupp gun exhibit and
the convent The plaisance, which al
ways holds the Sunday crowds, was
a busy place all day and impressed
upon the concessionaires more firmly
than ever the idea that their part OF
the fair should be kept open Music
was furnished during the afternoon
and evening by the Chicago, Cincinnati
and Iowa State bands, this feature of

and appreciated by moderately-sized
crowds
