the greater number Of people we're at

from every section of the city, the
concussion Of the explosion came from
a different direction, although It was
generally conceded that IL had taken
place, either al the Gibbstown fac
tory, or at the Wilmington plant Of
the DUPONT concern.
On the trains between this city and
Philadelphia the first shock was dis
tinctly felt. and the passengers were
! somewhat frightened, as they believ-
ed that something had been struck, OF
that there had been some mishap to
some portion of the locomotive. II

NOVELTY IN ELECTIONS.

The straw vote election for mayor
TO be held next Saturday under the
auspices Of the Junior Auxiliary OF
Minquadale Home. is something quite
new in the line of raising funds for a
charitable institution. The members
of the Junior Auxiliary appear to have
hit the right nail on the head this
time, just as they did when they first
introduced tag day. The friends OF the
various candidates for the mayoralty
OF Wilmington are not going to let
their candidate lose prestige, and at
10 cents per vote there should be a
goodly number of ballots for the
judges of election TO count when the
polls close.
