Journalist Fatally Injured by His
Own Bomb.

ROME, Aug. 27.-This city has just
experienced another bomb explosion.
and the man who is supposed to be re-
sponsiDle for the explosion now realizes
the significance of the saying ''Hoist by
his own petard" The bomb was
thrown outside the Altieri palace at IL
o'clock tonight. The Altieri palace is
the building in which the court of ap-
peals holds its sittings The pope's
guard also has its club in the building,
and several members of the guard were
i'll the rooms or the club when the eX-
plosion occurred. They were much
startled. but quickly recovered them
selves and rushed into the street to learn
the cause of the disturbance. They
saw on the pavement the proStrate form
OF man, who was Writhing and moan
ing as If in great pain. They also found
fragments of bomb scattered about in
front of the palace. The only damage
done by the explosive was to the man
living on the ground. He proved to be
young Journalist of tue name of
Giuseppe Rlccini. What the motive
was tor his criminal action, if he was
the bomb-thrUwer, can only be conject-
Dred. lie is terribly injured and cannot
recover. When the news of the eX-
plosiOn was learned immense crowds
throngpd TO the spot, and the streets in
the vicinity were soon packed with ex-
cited citizens. The police had more
than they cOuld do to handle the crowd,

ployeS.
HAZLEToN, Pa, Aug. 27.-The larg--
est crowd of railroaders ever assembled
at one time i'll this city was present at
today's convention, which was held in
the Grand opera house. Special trains
were run, carrying delegates from Buff
falO, Scranton, Jersey City, Mauch
Chunk, Sudbury, Shamokin and other
I points. Representatives from several
outside states were also present. The
meeting was divided into two sessions.
The morning session was secret. and
only delegates were admitted. The
afternoon session WAS open to the pub
lie. Addresses were delivered by prom
inent labor leaders. The substance
OF their remarks was in advocacy of
organized labor, and also the fed-
Grafton of the beneficial depart
mentS OF each order. OF the morning
session very little could be learned, but
it is understood that one of the impor-
tant subjects discussed was the feast
bihty of amalgamating The brother
hoods OF locomotive engineers, tiremen,
conductors, tralnmen, SWltchmen and
telegraph operators. What was accom-
plisned the members refuse to dIvulge.
IL is known, however, that as between
the engineers and operators the only
opposition to this move exists. and it is
believed that the various orders will
ultimately be merged into one great
organization.
