TWAS A DEADLY BOMB.
SENSATIONAL SCENE AT THE
BLAKE RECEPTION.

Headed Policeman.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-The World this
morning says the reception given Ivy
the Irish National federation to Edward

last night was productive of some
results never dreamed of by its
originators. In the heart of the meet.

upon Mr.. Blake as he stood ON the
platform delivering one of his most i'm
pressive speeches. short, stoutly-built,
frowsily dressed. bent old man. with
the hair, mustache, hook-nose and
STOPPING shoulders peculiar to the pop
uiar conception of all anarchist. walked
swiftly around the back of the front
tier of boxes until he reached
the last one nearest the platform
and to the left of the proscenium arch.
In his hand he carried an old, bulky
green bingham umbrella which he
seemed to hold with peculiar tender
ness; ontside the box he stopped. hes.
itated moment, and then entering
took chair in corner nearest the
stage. On the other side of the box
were couple said to be Mr.. and Mrs.
j. VI. Thompson. The old man left in
a minute.
1t might have been a minute or two
later when sharp cry from the women
i'll the box resounding through the house
startled every one from their seats aud
stopped the speaker. In the same mo.
ment there leaped out gush of flame
aud smoke. and then followed the
shrek of Fire! and the simultaneous
movement of 500 panic.Stricken
creatures to the door, but even as they
turned Patrollman Lilly rushed into the
box violently dancing on something
with his feet. while the voice of Mr.
Blake rang through the big building
calling OH his big audience to keep their
seats

hose on the PLATFORM. and the flame had
gone and the smoke Disappeared. :
AS Li!ley stopped to pick up the
burning frame saw lying among the
fragments of the bingham small, stout
tube. or bottle. He picked it up. and
then felt sure that he was handling
an able bodied bomb. The tube
was about eight inches long and about
two inches in circumference. 1t was
capped with a covering of gelatine. The
tube was filled with white liquid which
the police think is nitric acid. Attached
to the gelatine had been piece of fuse
half burned away.
The police say that the old man had
lighted the fuse in some way while he
was in the box or just on entering, but
the flame had caught the glngham be-
fore 1t could reach the gelatine.
Those in charge OF the meeting tried
to hush up the affair. Joseph Harring-
ton at first incautiOusly admitted that
the bomb was one of the typical nitro
glycerine variety.

In 1890 he was nominated for the
house Of representatives from the
Thirty-second district of the city of
Minneapolis. and was elected by over
1.200 plurality over T. G. Pillsbury,
very strong and popular Republican.
In the legislature MIR. Trip at once
took leading position, doing as much
as any member in shaping the legisla-
ton of the session, and the legislature
of 1891 passed more measures of general
importance and of higher merit than
any session for Years. He was promi-
nently identified with reform in our
election laws, aiding in making the
Australian ballot law general i'll its OPP
Grafton throughout the state.
He introduced and passed drought the
house primary election law and corr
rupt practice act, very necessary mea-
Sures. He Introduced law for taxing
franchises and collateral inheritance

OF general Importance to the people of
the state. lie was active in trying TO

people found an active champion in Mr..
Trip, and he won the esteem of all

legislative experience. an extended
state acquaintance and host of friends,
MIR. Tripp is peculiarly well Qualified to
represent the great county OF st. Louis

The workingman has no truer friend,
