 Arrest.

New York, Sept Awakened by the cracking of match in the hali Giovani Congialasi, who has slept all night in his bakery in Prince street to guard his little shop against a black hand attack, rushed into the hall in time to be hurled to the floor by the explosion of bomb. He saw figure starting out of the hall and up the street and shouted fol- the police, who quickly captured the fleeing man. The man, who gave his name as Salvatore Sallena, was bleeding from many wounds. The bomb which had evidently exploded prematurely, was filled with nails and slugs. The 22 families in the tenement hurried into the street in terror when the explosion occurred but none were injured. Sallena was arrested several months ago in con- nection with bomb explosion. The proprietor of the bakeshop had re- ceiyed many threatening letters de- manding money.

IN LITTLE RHODY
Cbalrmsn Eiizsimmess Says tbe Slaie Will Undoubtedly Go
 For Bryan This Fall
AND MACK IS PLEASED

New York, Sept 1.-Political con ditions in the east were discussed at length to-day at conference of Ma tional Chairman Mack, members of the national committee and heads of the various bureaus of the New York headquarters of the democratic na- tional committee. Chairman Mack said that he had received reports from all the states along the At lantic seaboard and that he was more than satisfied with the progress of the campaign and that the east could be relied upon to help swell cleo toral votes for MT Bryan. Chairman Mack urged upon his national com mitteemen to do all they could to aid in the organization of precinct demo- cratic clubs.
 National Committeeman George w. Green of Rhode Island and Judge Frank Fitzsimmons of Providence. R. l., chairman of the state central committee, informed MT Mack tha.. they had every reason to believe that Rhode Island this year would cast its electoral votes for the democratic ticket. National Committeeman Green said: We believe that we will carry the .state this year and every condition these seems to war rant this belief. There has been a big demonstration to show that the people are aroused. The democrats elected their governor four times in the last six years"
 Chairman Mack said to-day that no selection had as yet been made of the vice-chairman for the eastern headquarters. It is believed that Ma tional Committeeman Green of Rhode Island will urge that Governor Hig- gins of Rhode Island be selected as manager of the campaign. Chair man Mack is planning to be in Chi cago by next Sunday.

Not a One Nighter.

Waterbury is rejoicing because it has graduated from the ranks of first nighters. The trolley did it. Here tofore Waterbury has had to content herself with one nights productions of play because there was not enough tributary territory to draw upon to warrant theatrical managers booking longer for even the most tre- mendous hits. But Waterbury is a big girl and with the donning of long dresses has assumed more re- sponsibilities. The new trolley lines from Thomaston to Waterbury in ad- dition to those from Cheshire, Nau- gatuck and Waterbury have so added to the temporary population of the Brass City that Manager Parsons of Polls theater has booked some pro- duction for three nights.-Meriden Record.

VOTE NOT COUNTED.
Trolley Employes Dropped Ballots
 All Day at New Haven

New Haven, Sept 1.--As yet the count of the vote for or against a strike on the trolley lines of the New. Haven company has not been completed. All day yesterday the local trolleymen filed into Union x hall on Orange street and cast their votes "Yes" or No" on the strike question. Contrary to general opin- ion, yesterday was not the critical day for it decided the vote of the New Haven union only and not the vote of the whole system. Further more. the votes will be counted by a committee of three members of the joint conference board and not by the officers as is the prevalent opin. ion. The votes will be counted in New Haven and will not be sent to the national headquarters. Up to date, the votes of the Portchester, Worcester, Springfield, Providence and Rhode Island lines and all of the Connecticut lines have been cast, but many lines in Massachusetts are yet to be heard from. The votes are all sent to New Haven and counted here, but although the counting is going on at present it is extremely unlikely that the result will be known before the end of the week.

CITY NEWS.

John Mitchell of Hill street has gone to Deep River on business.
 Dunne, Prown & Go have a three family house for sale in southern sec tion of the city.
 At the meeting of the board of public works tonight bids will be re- ceived for five houses on Livery and Hall streets.
 The board of safety has equipped wagon with new seat for the pur- pose of carrying the flremen to tue drill tower in Brooklyn. Four men can ride with comfort in it. A few of the firemen appointed at the las. meeting are already on duty, but have not yet received permanent places.
 A tot of boy was picked up by Officer s. Mccarthy at the junction of Hill and Burton streets this after noon at o'clock He was sound asleep, surrounded by crowd of kids, and in his right fist was re cent. He was dressed in what was once a white blouse and red pants His hair was fair and his eyes blue. Officer Mccarthy handed him over to Officer Cavanaugh at Exchange place and Cayanaugh bought him a stick of candy and took him to the station house.
 The detective force must be after somebody in the south end of the city. else they must like that district and prefer to spend their spare mo- ment in that neighborhood. This week they searched every nook ard corner in the place. beginning at the rear of the Mulcahey school and con- tinuing clear around to Fuller street. The presence of the officers attracted considerable attention and the resi- dents would like to know what it all means. Nobody appears to know what is up, but 1t is surmised that Waterbury is the present abiding place of few bad men from Boston and New York and 1t is likely that the officers thought they might stum- hle across them in that region. but 70 far they have not been successful.

wooDBuRY ON MAP
Opening of Trolley Line Will Boom
 Staid Old Town.

Woodbury September 1.-The new era in Woodbury's history was begun to-day when shortly before poon a trolley car bearing the directors and officials of the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. R. and the Connecticut company as well as number of invited guests rolled over the newly completed trolley line into the center of the town, thus marking the opening up of the town to the rest of the state by rail com munication. The appearance of the car in the gaily decorated town was signal for cheering, for the blowing of whistles and the ringing of bells. Not since Woodbury's contingent of the Northern army marched away from the town to take its part in the civil war has there been such de- monstration as the old town witness ed to-day as the citizens saw the passing of the period of stage coaches, which has been, it's means of communication with the outer world since its early days. Follow ing the arrival of the car there was an address of welcome by Asa W Mitchell to which President Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad responded. Later luncheon was served to the visit. ing officials and other guests ana then they were taken by automobile through North Woodbury and Hotch- kissville, over the yet unfinished DOT tions of the trolley route.
 Sixteen years ago a charter for the road was secured and this was renewed from time to time until the accomplishment of the project which to-day's festivities marked. Visitors to the town to-day did not find a backward community but rather an up-to-date thriving town with pop. ulation of over 1000, its indus tries including the manufacture of shears and other cutlery.
 while its outlying districts are de- voted to agriculture. Within the town the visitors saw its we'll laid out streets and roads, its attractive residences and business houses, its public buildings which have been the pride of its citizens, as well as their electric lighting plants and water works.
 On the trolley car were James S. Elton, Waterbury; c. F. Brooker, Ansonia; Judge A. Heaton Robert son, New Haven; Edwin Milner, Moosup; George J.. Bruch, New Ha- ven; D. D. Warner, Bridgeport; Col onel F. W. Cheney, South Manches- ter; J.. H. Whittemore. Naugatuck, director of the N. Y, N. H. and H. R. R.; President c. s. Mellcn of the road; H. A. Fabian, assistant to the president; J: G, Parker, secretary, New Haven; Edward Gagel, chief en- gineer, New Haven; Charles R. Hart, New Haven; J. K. Punderford, gen eral manager of the Connecticut Go. and other officials; Mayor Thoms of Waterbury, Prof c. H. Snow of New York university and number of others.

such notions concerning them. no more sympathise with the statement that MT Bryan Is the enemy of in- dustry than do with the statement that MT Taft is creature of the trusts and as for MT Kern's possible election being & menace to business, 1t Is pos itively absurd.
 l "As for the tarin, I think the country is to be congratulated in that both parties promises its readjust- ment. S am free to say that the Parry Manufacturing company is willing to see any duties, imposed for the protection of the buggy business, go on the trading list in negotiating with foreign countries for reciprocity treaties, and there are other manu- lecturers in similarly generous mood. In recent poll of the Ma tional Association of Manufacturers a majority of It's members declared in favor of revision, and since manu- lecturers will not be disposed to buy heavily of raw material when there is a possibility of cheaper prices for such material through a relaxation of the tariff. believe that speedy re- vision will materially assist in re- storing business to normal conditions. Of course this revision cannot be ac- complished the first day after the election, no matter who is elected. and to my knowledge the prosperity placards proposition has not received the official endorsement of the man. ufacturers' association.
 T do not believe that business scares, gotten up to influence cleo tions are calculated to. help legiti- mate business and, therefore, should not be encouraged by business men.
 Sincerely yours,
 ID. M. PARRY"

MExlco's SIGN LANGUAGE.
Gestures With . Meaning Understood
 by Every Tribe.

Mexico is land of many tongues, but above the Indian dialects and Spanish there is one universal Ian. guage, the language of signs. It is the most expressive of all. The Mexican eye and hand are eloquent members It is capable of infinite variation. Its shadings and suggestions are beyond all translation. But there are certain gestures that have a fixed meaning, a signifcation well understood by every nation and every tribe from Guatemala to Texas.
 A general upward movement of the body, shoulders shrugged, eyebrows raised, lips pouted and palms out spread varies in meaning from q don't know and I don't care" to a most re- spectful Really, sir, I do not under stand you"
 The index finger moved rapidly from right to left generally before the face means "No more" or simply No" To move the right hand palm outward from the body toward another person means "Just wait; I'll be even with you yet"
 The index finger on the temple moved with a boring twist means Hes drunk"
 The right hand held to the lips, three fingers doubled. thumb and little finger erect, varies from He drinks to Have one with me-"
 To move the open hand over the cheek in imitation of a razor has ref erence to the idiom playing the bar. Der" and means ito fatter."
 All four fingers and the thumb held points together and moved toward the mouth means ito eat"
 The right hand held before the face the two middle fingers moving rapidly, is familiar salutation.-"Modern Mex ico."

SPANISH WAR VETERANS.
More Than Five Thousand of Them
 at Boston To-day.


 Boston. Sept 1.-The soldiers and sailors who 10 years ago served in the army and navy of the United States during the troubles with Spain, in Cuba, the Philippines or on the high seas, to-day gathered at Faneuil hall, more than 5000 strong, for the formal opening ses- sion of the fifth annual encampment of the United Spanish War Veter- ans, which will be continued during the remainder of the week. The opening meeting had not attracted any great interest, the business con- sisting entirely of reports by the va rious national officers and commit tees and encampment organization, and for that reason the 5000 addl- tional delegates who had been ex- pected in the city for the encamp- ment probably delayed their coming until tomorrow, when the great pa- rade, the feature of the encampment programme, will be held.
 The veterans sister bodies, the Ladies Auxiliary, which is also hold ing its encampment here this week, met in Ford hall, and opened the formal sessions which will be con- tinued while the veterans stay in the city.
 The election of officers, occupied almost general attention in the dis cussions by the delegates and other veterans at the encampment's ses- sion to-day. The contest for the of- flee of commander-in-chief, now held by Major Walter s. Hale of Boston, has at present but two ac- tive candidates, Captain Charles A. Simmons, of Rochester, N. Y., and Captain Charles w. Newton of Hart- ford. Conn, but it is. expected that Commander in Chief Hale may. enter the field for reelection, in which case it Is generally believed that he can retain his office. v Y Z Y
 The delegations from Tacoma, Washington, Saratoga, N. r., and Oklahoma, are each seeking the next encampment.
 This afternoon was given over tc flarbor excursion, the members Of the Ladies Auxiliary being speciaY guests, and this evening the initia,' tory degrees of the Order of the Serpent" will be exemplified upon a number of candidates In the arm ory of the First Corps cadets.
