about three hundred students, who had
assembled to voice their sentiments on the
present crisis with Spain. A number Of
residents Of the neighborhood increased the
size Of the crowd to about five hundred.
G. e. D. Ballou called the assemblage to
order and introduced Ernest Bradley the
chairman Of the evening. Mr.. Bradley de-
livered an imprisoned speech, denounc-
Ing tho dilatory policy Of the president and
urging that the United States should i'm

BLEW UP THE MAINE
SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO BOYS
PLAYING WITH POWDER
Little Eight-Year-0ld Lesper Mer-
chon Burned in the Face and
May Lose His Eyesight

A couple of little boys played at blowing
up the Maine Wednesday, and as a result
one of them is confined to bed, with the
prospect of losing his eyesight. His name
is Lesper Merchon. His companion was
Arthur Franco.
There is some dispute as to where and
how the boys got hold of the powder, but
according to the story of Mr.. Merchon, his
boy and the Franco child, who are only
years Of age, were in the backyard OF
DR.. E. c. Manning, who resides at 1897
South Hope street. Master Ned Manning
who is about IL years Of age, discovered
some powder In a can In the stable. Say
fellers," he called, come on; let's play
blowing up the Name
"All right" said the others, and with
that the powder was transferred to an old
empty tea kettle. Young Manning is then
alleged to have threatened the Franco boy
to make him walk Spanish unless ne put 4
match to the impromptu bomb. The child
did not care to set the thing OF, but young
Manning Is alleged to have insisted, and
while Franco and Merchon took the pot out
to the vacant lot in the rear Of the house
Manning very wisely remained behind a
trocha. into which for the time being he
had converted the backyard fence.
The other boys were eager to see the ef-
fects of the bomb. and while Franco laid
carefully down on the ground, in order
to keep out of range of the explosion,
Master Lesper, who knew nothing Of the
nature Of the material, stood looking d.
rectly over the top Of the pot. The lighted
match was thrown into the kettle there
was pun. and the blaze shot upward into
the eager face Of poor little Lesper Tile
child fell backward with a shrek, while
his companion ran to him to see what was
the matter. Lesper's face had been terri.
bly, burned. His eyes were closed from the
effects Of the burning and his eyebrows
were also gone. Several ladies were at
tracted by the cries and hurried to the as
sistance of the lad and took him to his
home. A.physician was summoned and an
examination made of his injuries. The
flesh wounds were better last night, but 1,
was feared that the child would lose his
eyesight. The Franco boy was unhurt
DR.. Manning denied that his boy had beer
near the explosion or had anything to dc
with the other boys getting the powder
Ned had not given it to them, he said, ant
had left the place before the explosion oc.
