1 DEADLY EXPLOSION. J
Fifteen Killed While Celebrating
Election Results.

Fifteen Killed While Celebrating
Election Results.
NEW YORK, Nov. BY prema-
ture explosion of fireworks in Madison
square last night fifteen people are
believed to have been killed and for
ty seriously injured. Owing to the
panic and confusion among the crowd
watching the election returns it was
impossible to make correct estimate
of the fatalities The explosion took
place among the fireworks that were
to be set off to celebrate the announce
ment of the election returns. The re-
port was SO heavy that windows were
broken in the houses around the
square. When the first panic had SUBJ
sided, sixteen persons were found I'M
conscious on the ground. Some Of these,
however. quickly recovered. Others mad
been horribly mutilated.
The fireworks We're piled on the east
side Of Madison square awaiting the
time to set them off in the political cell
ebration that was being held.
A great crowd Of boys pressed around
the place, and q squad of policemen
tried in vain to keep them back.
1t is not known just how the explo-
sion occurred, but it is supposed that
sparks from a bomb or a skyrocket
set off in the square or from the roof
of the Flatiron building dropped into
the pile.
The explosion simply moved down
the crowd standing around.
Rockets and balls of fire whizzed
through the air in every direction. The
great mob in the square broke into a
panic.
Ambulances were summoned from
oil the hospitals in the lower end Of the
city.
Fire alarms brought engines that
created havoc among the throngs on
Broadway.
An hour after the explosion the
neighborhood for blocks around was in
a turmoil.

POLICE COURT DoINGs
Fined $50 and Costs for False Pre-
lenses.

lenses.
In the city court to-day Charles
Northrop Of South Wilson street was
charged with obtaining $50 under false
pretenses from the Miles Medical Co
OF Elkhart, Ind. FL. III. Albert, rep
resenting the concern, stated that
Northrop had contracted to distribute
q certain number of thousand samples
were sent here to the number Of 10000
and it seems they were distributed.
Another quantity was sent on and
about 5000 Of these were also dis
tributed. Then 1t appears Northrop
sent for his pay and received it in two
checks, which were cashed at the Man
ufacturers' bank. Mr. Albert then
came here and found about 5000 of the
samples in Northrop's room. Northrop's
defense was that he was taken sick
and being unable to do the work him
self he engaged some one else to do it
for him, but this man did not do it.
He was willing, he said, to make resti-
tuition and do all in his power to make
amends, but the company's representa-
tive wanted the law enforced and Il
fine of $40 and costs was imposed.
The case against the Italian, Michael
Cuculli, for assaulting a fellow coun-
tryman last February, was continued
to tomorrow morning to enable the
state to collect the facts of the case.
"A young man named Davil Cahill
admitted having been drinking for
some days past. Yesterday he was
whiskey crazy and his people had him
arrested for safety. He was charged
with breach Of the peace and intoxi-
cation and was fined So and costs.
a small boy named Joseph Pierce
was charged with theft Of package OF
cigarettes. The prosecutor stated that
the boy was ring leader Of gang
that makes life miserable for the He.
brews on North Elm street. Neverthe-
less he wished the case continued for
thirty days and 1t was SO continued,
with the understanding that il there
are any more disturbances on North
Elm street by boys this case will be
brought up.

well read by one of the lady members.
Owing to the scarcity of coal this year
and the possibility of substituting this
article for that commodity, some dis

treatment necessary in order to use

handled and proved to be one Of the
best of the season. Next week there

JAMES LYONS FALLS AGAIN.
Picked Up on Two Occasions on the
Street in Hartford.

James Lyons. who claims to belong
in Waterbury, fell on the sidewalk
near Kilbourn and Front streets yes
terdsy morning. Blood oozed from his
mouth and ears and it was thought
that he was dying. He was taken to
the Hartford hospital and the doctors
were of the opinion that his fall was
due to his weakened condition. The
doctors could not account for the blood.
Lyons fell on the sidewalk on State
street Monday night and he received a
bad cash in the head. He was taken
to the police station and his head was
sewed up. He was locked up for the
night and was discharged yesterday
morning, and shortly after his dis
charge he had his second fall.-Ha'f-

TRIE FOOD
Always Cures Dyspepsia.
rong food brings penalties.

Wrong food brings penalties
 A lady in Lone Tree, Okla., found this out, After suffering for years with dys- pepsia, she says:-
 'Many times I could not eat any, thing; sometimes I drank a little hot milk, at other times the lightest food distressed me so that death would have been gladly welcomed as relief. I was weak and listless and unable to work for want of strength.
 Two years ago dear friend earnestly recommended me to try Grape-Nuts as she had found it a most valuable food. I commenced to use it immediately and the benefit l received in an incredibly short time was almost marvellous.
 Words cannot express the joy and thankfulness I felt when I found I was relieved of that dreadful distress from indigestion that I had been experience ing after each meal.
 After continued use, health and strength returned; began to enjoy life and go among my friends again so much improved that remarks were made about my good health. I sleep we'll now, sit all day with perfect ease and comfort and sew and work as like I wish I could induce every sufferer from dyspepsia to use uGrape-Nuts.'

THE REMONSTRANCE.

Against the Aldermanic Resolution
 That Was Drawn Up Monday.
 The following remonstrance ad- dressed to President Roosevelt has been drawn up and will be sent to the presi- dent if the resolution passed at the meeting of the aldermen Monday night is sent to Washington.
 His Excellency Theodore Roosevelt,
 President of the United States:
 Sir-At a meeting of the board of al- dermen of the city of New Haven held on Monday, October 6, resolution ad- dressed to your excellency concerning the strike in the anthracite coal mines was passed by vote of 12 to 10.
 We the undersigned, members of the board of aldermen, take this opportun- ity of making to your excellency the following statement, In the nature of @ remonstrance against this resolution. We take exception to the resolution for many reasons, principally because we feel confident that it does not voice the sentiments of the majority of the citi- zens of New Haven. It seems to us preposterous that the board of alder men of New Haven should recommend to the president of the United States action which is clearly unconstitutional. The resolution adopted by the majority of the board of aldermen, in our judg- ment expresses the opinions of very few radical citizens of New Haven, who hold peculiar notions concerning politi- cal economy and municipal government, contrary to the accepted theories of the hast known thinkers
 We have deep feeling of pride in the position which the city of New Ha- ven occupies in the intellectual and in- dustrial development of the United States and we sincerely regret any &C., tion on the part of the governing board of this municipality which will cast reproach upon the reputation of our city.
 At the time of your recent visit tc New Haven you passed through the part of the town occupied by our large factories and was able to see the large number of people employed therein As you surely know, these people receive small wages and have little or no say ings to fall back on in time of trouble but are absolutely dependent on what they earn from day to day. With the approach of winter the problem of se- curing coal becomes to them a mos serious one involving the health ant even the lives of members of their fam flies. The price of coal has become SC high as to make it impossible for thes' poor people to purchase enough fol their daily consumption. Many of thes,
