CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-By the eXplo-
sion of dynamite caps and in the panic
that followed three persons were in
jured this afternoon at the Hawthorne
race track. 1t is supposed that the
caps were thrown on the floor. of the
betting ring with the idea of creating
a panic, during which the cash boxes
of the bookmakers might be robbed.
An attempt was made to rob one book
maker, but it failed. The injured are:
Frank Williams, left foot lacerated.
Mitchell Bruno, right foot lacerated.
A, M. McGill received a severe scalp
wound and was badly bruised in the
panic in the ring.
None of the injured is seriously hurt
The first explosion was caused by
Williams, who, while walking through
the east side of the ring, stepped on a.
cap. 1t exploded, tearing off his shoe
and lacerating his foot severely. He
fell to the floor with cry and Instant
ly there was a shout that an insane
man was discharging his revolver at
random Immediately there was a wild
panic and while the bookmakers, seiZ-
ing their cash boxes, bent low in their

south side of the ring in the effort to
escape.
just as the thick of the throng reach
ed this side of the ring, somebody trod
on another cap and the crowd tore back
to the place where it had started on
its first run McGill was knocked down
during this rush and was trampled
upon. A third explosion took place
some minutes after the panic had been
allayed. 1t occurred just beneath a
chair on which Bruno was sitting,
threw him to the floor.
While the excitement was at it's
height man made an effort to grab
the cash box of a bookmaker doing
business under the name of the Chi
cago club. He was knocked down by
a clerk and ran away before he could
be arrested.

Parker was more than usually busy
today. He entertained men whose mis-
sions We're political, as well as dele

letter signed "a Friend" which ex-
pressed the deepest sympathy for the
afflicted institution, together with
request that his name be withheld
from publication.
Archbishop Ireland was another
among the first to answer the call for
aid with a check for 500.
1t is expected that the mails -of1last
night and this morning will greatly in
crease the relief fund. The fact that
the appeal for aid was not circulated
until yesterday morning and that by 8
o'clock last night nearly $500 had been
received. encourages the belief that
the next few days will see the fund
grow to considerable proportions.
With the cost of repairs to the House
of the Good Shepherd, amounting to
$500, and no funds available, save
those of the relief fund, it is deemed
safe to predict that the people of Min

mated for governor by the Republican
state convention today on the second

were made. Indirectly the fight for the

into the contest, Senator Root, who is
one of the twelve apostles of the Nor

supporter of Mr.. Cutler, while Gov.

The nominee of the Democratic state
convention next Tuesday at Mime
apolis will be John A. Johnson, of st.
Peter
Doubt as to Mr.. Johnson's accept
ance of the honor, should it come to
him in the convention, was set at rest
last night by a statement in which he
said that he would not decline the offer
of the nomination if it were rendered
him. The action of so many Demo-
cratic county conventions in declaring
for him on Monday put him in posi-
ton where he could not we'll decline,
and his announcement was the expect
ed development of yesterday.
Senator Johnson was in st. Paul and
Minneapolis yesterday and after meet
ing his friends gave out the foregoing
statement.
The situation throughout the state
is clarified, and if there was any ques-
tion of his acceptance of the honor
contained in Democratic nomination
for the highest office in the gift of the

All over the state Democrats realiz-

Petition Dismissed.

Justice Gould in Washington yestei-
dav signed decree dismissing the petit
tion for divorce filed by Ada Marshall
Fowle, otherwise known at Ada Marshall
Horah, against George Addison Fowle.
The court held in the decree that no
eremony that would constitute lawful
marriage in the State OF Pennsylvania
had been performed between the parties
to the suit, but that the testimony dis
closed that the ceremony which the COM
pIainant believed had been performed
was a mock marriage, and that therefore
he was powerless to enter decree OF
divorce or to enter decree annulllng a
marriage which had never existed. In
her netition. which was filed on Septem-
Der 20 1900, the complainant alleged
that she and the defendant we're married
in Philadelphia on August 6, 1898, by
Robert G. Homer, a justice of the peace,
and that they lived together as man and
wife. She alleged that she supported
the defendant, who had gambled away
her property. She charged him with
cruel and inhuman treatment, alleging
that he had knocked her down with a
walking stick. In his answer Mr.. Fowle
denied that he and the complainant had
ever been married and made various al
legations of improper conduct on her
part. He admitted that he had lived
with her to all appearances as her hus-
band. He claimed that he had permit
ted her to represent herself as his wife in
order TO mislead her mother, who, he
understood had rebuked the complainant
for her relations with him.
