500 DANCERS IN A PANIC
Hall and Hotel at Woodbridge, N. j.
Dynamited For Revenge.

Woodbridge. \. j., Jan. An eX-
plosion wrecked the hall and hotel OF
Joseph Galaida and more or less seri-
ously injured 30 persons at Keashy,
four miles from here, while the st.
Johns Benevolent Society was cele-
brating its anniversary by a dance.
There we're about SEQ in the hall, and
one OF the two exits was closed by the
wreckage. The people became panic
stricken and fought TO get out many
being trampled on and seriously in
jured.
Galaida was burned about the head
and face. His wife was thrown against
the chimney and fell unconscious to
the floor Miss Gertrude Elton had one
eve destroyed. her nose broken and her
Jaw dislocated. She may not recover.
Michael Ponger had his right arm torn
off at the elbow.
1t is believed that some one with a
grievance against Galaida, or the so

building were blown apart and 1t may
