 ger Hangs Fire and Expiodes Three Min
 utes After the President Passes the sro.S
 Nobody Injured
 PARIS, Sept. 1.-President Faure al rived at the Northern Railroad station from Dunkirk, at six o'clock last even- ing. He was received there by the president of the chamber of deputies, M. Brisson; the president of the senate, NJ. Laubet; the general in command of the Paris garrison and his staff, and the municipal councillors. After lis- tening to short speeches of welcome, the president entered a landau and pro- ceeded to Elysee palace, by way of the Rue Lafayette, the opera, the Made leine and the Place de la Concorde.
 Enormous crowds of people lined the roads and the president was warmly acclaimed. All the balconies were filled with spectators and the waving of haudkerchiefs and flags was to be seen on all sides.
 Three minutes after the president had passed the Madeleine, bomb was exploded inside the railing around the church.
 Two arrests followed immediately and the railed enclosure was closed by the police. who began an active inves- tigation into the outrage.
 Nobody was injured by the explo- sion, but the affair. following so closely upon others of similar na- ture, caused the greatest excitement. The persons inside the railings were minutely examined by the police be- fore they were allowed to leave.
 The fragments of the bomb found by the police resemble those in the Bois du Boulogne on June I3 last, and on the Place de la Concorde on June 16 last. It consisted of an iron tube filled with an explosive and loaded with nails.

WOuld-Be BulIies.

Last weeks issue of the Middletown
Ne'0 Era had the following:
"On Saturday evening last two
young men came up from Smyrna and
made an effort to capture this town.
They began early in the evening to
stagger about the streets, using vile
language, declaring that they were
hunting for trouble Finally they
found what they wanted, because they
accosted two of our young men on
Main street and insisted on a fight.
which they found rather too hot, as
the Smyrnaites went down from the
blows they received. 1t was not long
after this that the would-be bullies
started another disturbance near the
depot. Fortunate it was that they could
run. They were chased out of town to
a nearby farm house, and were saved
from a genteel thrashing by the plead
lngs of the farmer We regret that
such things should occur in our town,
yet would advise our neighbors to
come among us as gentlemen, and we
can assure them of fair treatment.
The Era is making a false attack
upon Smyrna. If it had gone a step
further to Clayton, the miscreants
could be found. ED.

that bad colds are so often neglected
when one remembers how easily and
at what little expense they NAV be
