a DYNAMITE BOMB.

1t IL Thrown Into q Sailcs's Boarding
House In San Francisco-The Building
Wrecked and Five Inmates Killed-An-
other Badly Hurt.
San FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-One of the
worst crimes in the annals of this city,
resulting from long-standing feud be-
tween union and non union sailors, was
perpetrated Saturday night Shortly
after midnight the southern part of the
city was shaken by a terrific exp ,sion.
A dynamite bomb had been fired in
front of a waterfront boarding house
filled with non-union sailors.
The front of the building was blown
to atoms. Six of the inmates were hor-
ribly mangled, two of these instantly
killed and three others died from their
wounds. BY whom the bomb was
fired is not definitely known, but the
owners directly charge the deed upon
some members of the Seamen's union.
One of the union men by the name OF
John Terrell has been arrested.
The boarding house was kept by
John Curtin. 1t was Curtin's custom
to secure berths for his patrons on ship.
employing non-union men. In this
way he incurred the enmity OF
the sailors union. Less than a
week ago his place was entered by
crowd of union men led by John
Terrell. Curtin was threatened, and
when the men left his house they told
him the house had only short time to
exist. Saturday night all the inmates
had retired as usual and the house was
quiet when the explosion occurred,
shaking the city for blocks The en-.
tire front of the boarding house was
torn away, carrying the front of an
adjacent structure with it.
Men were thrown from their beds
across the street. The room where the
explosion took place was ripped to
atoms. A black hole with smolderinR
beams about it showed where the bomb
had torn its way. Four grooming vic.
Tins lay in the street near by. Beside
them lay two corpses, stripped of nearly
every bit of clothing. An ambulance
was soon on the scene and the victims
were quickly rescued from tile debris
and taken to the hospital. Three OF
the men who were wounded died Sum
day, making the total fatalities five.

Ihe Day After.

Bright sunshine and clear up made the
big white Worlds Fair buildings attractive
to look upon, and at the first opening OF the
gates there was thin stream Of visitors pass
ing through, which swelled to steady cur
rent of humanity as the forenoon wore on.
Early callers were considerably jostled and
pushed around by the men who were remov-
ing the debris and other evidence of the open
ing. and inside the buildings gangs OF labo =
ers were at work unpackjng belated exhlb
and putting them in place The roadwdys,
too, were not the most attractive places III
the world for the exercise of pedestrianism.
Between the sleeping amphitheatre, banked
against the administration building and the
grand basin, with the giant statue guarding
its stony shore line lay placid sea OF mut,
trodden and stirred up by the feet of thou
sands of people Who had gathered there the
day before. To the east the graceful curves
of the peristyle showed out distinctly against
the clear sky overhanging Lake Michigan,
and to the south the halls Of agriculture and

Night Scenes at the Fair.

The splendors OF the night outshone the
glories of the day. That potent factor, cleo
tricity, was displayed in all its brilliancy and
rivaled for supremacy the one CLEAN OF noon
day sun that grsced the opening ceremonies
The center Of attraction was, as during the
day. the administration building, and its
court OF honor, and thither the masses flock
ed in multitudes.
President Cleveland's departure from the
administration building shortly after five
o'clock was the signal for the days crowd to
leave. and the grounds bore a deserted ap-
pearance until nearly g. 30 o'clock. Notwlth-
standing the chill air which settled over the
grounds as the evening grew, people began
to gather early, and by the time darkness had
encircled the white city multitude filled the
plaza from the administration building to the
peristyle.
The first touch of magic given the night
setting of the great scene was a fringe OF in
candescent lights which surmounted the
columns of the peristyle running from music
hall to the casino. This was followed a mo-
ment later by strips of light which sprang to
life on all parts of the administration build
ing. The entire structure was gilded with
seams OF uBnJ running aIOunu luo IOP VI oio
pavilions and to the dome. The effect was
one of surprising beauty, and was greeted
with great applause. Much disappointment
was felt later when it was made known that
the piece de resistance Of the evenings dis
play, the Macmonies fountain, would not be
Illuminated Its two companions were dark
also, an undiscovered break in the wires caus-
ing postponement of the display.

scene was one of dazzling splendor, the

WRECKED BY A TORNADO
The Town of Wilmington, o., Badly
Damaged by Wind Storm

A tornado of terrific proportions struck
Wilmington about three o'clock in the after
noon. About noon threatening clouds began
TO gather in the northwest. Two clouds
came together just west of the town and
formed a rapidly revolving circular cloud
which struck the town on its western edge
and travelled directly eastward, taking in the
business portion of the place and leaving It's
wake strewn with debris OF all kinds.
Trees were but as straws and few are leit
standing that encounterd the storm. Almost
I'm the twinkling of an eye the storm was over
and the half frantic populace timidly
emerged to find the streets filed with wreck
ed vehicles, wires, roofs Of all kinds and
fallen buildings.
The beautiful City Hall, lately remodeled,
is badly damaged, the roof blown off and the
interior soaked with water. Every church In
town except the Presbyterian was badly
wrecked. The heavy bell on the Christian
Church was blown some distance into the
street and the spire was blown on and crashed
through the roof and ceiling. The Catholic
Church spire was left standing, while the re-
mainder of the building was demolished.

The mud problem will soon be solved, now
ever. Director of Works, Burnham, says
that all the roadways will be asphalted within
the week. Then, instead OF clinging mud,
there will be smooth, even surface, which
will turn the water into the sewers, and with
it whatever mud may accumulate, for the
roadways will be flushed every night by the
Exposition Fire Department, and will be
spick and span every morning.
The forenoon crowds OF visitors soon
learned that most of the buildings were in
the hands of the installation people, and
most of the attention was devoted to the
wooded islands. the battle ship and the Mid
way Plaisance, where everything is COM
plete. In the latter avenue, which has al

A NOTABLE ADDRESS.
America Asks No Allowance on
the Score Of Youth,

In the presence Of people from every coun-
try and clime surrounded by his cabinet
ministers, high officials OF the great states,
the diplomats and Representatives Of foreign
nations, and vast concource OF American
citizens, Grover Cleveland, president Of the
United States, Monday, pressed the button
which released the great mechanical forces
of the Columbian expos ton. At once a
heavy salute from the guns of the United
States ship Andrew johnson, pealed forth
the nations greeting, and 700 flags were re-
leased to the breeze while a great wave OF
music pealed forth. Thus was the great
exposition formally thrown open to the
world.
1t was no ideal day which broke, Monday
morning. Clouds and fog made the morn
ing a dismal one, but the ra n had ceased.
Mud was everywhere, however, the heavy
rains of Sunday having put the streets in very
poor condition.
Fair officials were up at daylight. They
declared. rain or shine, the exercises would
