BIG DEATH TOLL
 IN EXPLOSION IN MEXICO CITY
Gondola Laden With Dynamite Blows Up In COngested
 District

Mexico City. Aug. 1s-An explosion on a gondola loaded with dynamite on the tracks of a street car company in a thfckly settled portion of Tacu- baya, 8 suburb of the capital, killed or injured more than 100 persons, chiefly women and children, today. Thirty bodies already have been taken from the ruins of the houses. Scores of wounded are lying in the streets.
 The disaster is said to have been caused by a car loaded with iron pipe crashing into the dynamite car. For a radius of 500 feet from the scene of the explosion not house was left intact and not 8 vestige of many of the buildings remained. Most of the dwellings were of adobe and those nearest where the car stood were con- verted into heaps of clay and dust under which it is estimated scores of victims will be found.
 The persons killed belong for the most part to the .Iaboring class.

Derby, Aug. 19-It begins to look as though the Post Office situation in Shelton was going to be cleared up in the near future, and that Bryan's s dove of peace would soon a1ight on the roof of the post office. It is un- derstood that several of the oandi- datesHthere were about fourteen to begin with-have withdrawn from the contest and thrown their strength to Daniel J. Teevan, member of the school board.
 MT. Teevan is a, foreman in one of the local mills, and is said to be pos sessed of considerable native ability. dates but his large vote for member of the school board and following among the rank and file of the Dem ocrats is said to make him an ideal candidate for the place.
 Unless nothing unforeseen happens it is expected that MT. Teevan will be- come the candidate of nearly all of the factions that have had candidates for the place. As the charge has been made that the split in the party was supported to a certain extent by the friends of the Republican post master who desired to have him hold over for several months, the getting together of the Democrats will mean that the holding over of the Repub- lican will not be for more than two or three weeks at the most.
 The refusal of Congressman Jere- nliah Donovan to have anything to do with untangling the maze that the several candidates had made of the situation is understood to have re- suited in several of the candidates de- ciding that it was best for the party to get together upon a, candidate that would be acceptable to the greater part of the people of the borough.
