EXPLOSION-FIRE.
BRICK BUILDING OF UNION ME-
TALLIC CARTRIGE COMPANY.
NO SECTIONAL LINES.
thrIe MEN KILLED OUTRICHT
One Man Blown Through the Roof in
a Great Mass of Debris—Loss
About $30,000.
Bridgeport, Conn.. April 5.—in a
terrific explosion that blew to pieces
one of the brick buildings or the Un-
ion Metallic Cartridge Company short-
ly before the close of the day’s work
yesterday three men were instantly
killed.
G^at crowds gathered, and in the
panic that followed women fainted and
made frantic efforts to get within the
walls surrounding the plant to seek
their friends and relatives, as it was
reported that many lives were lost.
They were held in check, however, and
the employes in the other buildings
made their escape in safety.
The apparent horror of the situa-
tion was increased by tho breaking
out of fire and the appearance of am-
bulances and morgue wagons, which
rattled up to the factory. A few mo-
meffts after the explosion occurred the
fire department arrived on the scene
and succeeded in checking the flames
quickly.
The only man in the building at the
time, John Meary, was blown through
the roof with a great mass of debris.
Two helpers, Michael Hurley and
William Bayliss, working near the
building were also killed.
The loss to the company will be
about $30,000.
Chicago Republicans Routed.
Chicago, 111.: A political tornado
yesterday overwhelmed one of the
mqst ruggedly unique leaders in the
country. Incidentally the Republican
party met dc-feat in a memorable ef-
fort to capture the mayoralty office.
As a direct result, the city is officially
committed to the policy of the quick-
est possible cession of private fran-
chises for public utilities. Municipal
ownership is especially threatening
street car lines, valued up in the
millions.
After winning successively four re-
markable biennial fights of indepen-
dents against the regular party here,
John M. Harlan, son of Associate Jus-
tice Harlan of the United States Su-
preme Court, yesterday was the loser
as a Republican candidate for mayor.
The defeat is attributed to an extraor-
dinary whirl of causes, starting with
political revenge and taking in a wide
sweep, embracing the most up-to-date
socialism as a factor. The victor is
Judge Edward F. Dunne, a Democrat.
Mussoree Shaken.
Mussuree, India: A succession of
earthquake shocks was experienced
yesterday, commencing at G: 10 a. m.
The first was tho most severe and
continued for three minutes, and dur-
ing that time it was not possible for
a person to stand without support.
Eleven shocks were distinctly felt.
Considerable damage was done to
property. The left wing of the Savoy
Hotel entirely collapsed, the new
Catholic church was wrecked, and al-
most every house in the place was
more or less damaged. Several
homes were hurriedly vacated. There
were many small landslides. The Mail
cracked in five places. Several cas-
uaitias are reported. One woman
was killed and many natives were se-
riously injured.
Two Presidential Booms.
New York: The committee of the
Democratic Club is now confronted
with the necessity of providing for
providing for 200 or 300 more guests
at the Jefferson dinner than they can
find room for in the Waldorf Astoria
gallery, where it may be compelled to
■ft. It was whispered that the open-
ing speech of former Mayor Van Wyck
as toastmaster will take the form of
launching two presidential booms, one
for Folk and the other f )r McClellan.
Louisiana Experiment Farms.
Shreveport, La.: D. A. Brodie, the
direct rqpres* vitative of the United
States Department of Agriculture, i-
here from Washington for the pur
pose of conferring with different ptaht
ers in this section relative to the lo
cation of four government experiment
al farms, which the government has
decided to establish hi la is state, one
of them most probably near Shreve-
port. The establishment of the farms
will be immediate.
President Roosevelt Received a Cor-
dial Greeting in Louisville.
Louisville, Kv., April 5.—In the
shadow of a magnificent statue of
Thomas Jeferson, just in front of the
court, house of Jefferson county, Pres-
ident Roosevelt yesterday, in some-
thing less than fifteen minutes, deliv-
ered a notable address to a crowd that
extended for two blocks east and west
of the speakers’ stand, which was
jammed in intersecting avenues, and
overran the broad lawns which skirt
the the square. Not more than one-
fifth of those who saw the president
could hear what be said, but they
cheered him heartily nevertheless, in-
terruptions of applause occurring al-
most. momentarily. The president’s
welcome to Kentucky was typical of
the state, and his reference in his
speech to a “united country,’* his
greeting of Confederate Veterans as
“my comrades," and his allusion to
wearers of the gray who bore aloft
at. the head of the procession of escort
the “flag of one united country,” pleas-
ed those who could hear him immense-
ly. The president was in Louisville
hut two hours, but not a moment was
lost. His reception in the residence
section of the city was cordial. As he
passed through the business section it
was thoroughly demonstrative of the
most hearty good will, and at the
speaking stand and on the short, drive
over the business section was a con-
tinued ovation. Everywhere the crowds
.were enormous but orderly, and bar-
ring a little confusion in front of the
speakers-' stand, the police arrange-
ments were excellent.
The president was greatly pleased
at the cordiality of the crowds, and
much touched over the presentation
of three magnificent souvenirs remin-
iscent of Abraham Lincoln, which oc-
curred a few moments before his
train departed for St. Louis and t iio
Southwest.

In Misouri.
Kansas City. Mo.: Elections were
held in many towns and cities of Mis-
souri yesterday. In most instance*
the issues were local in nature, and
party lines wore not distinctly drawn.
In Jefferson City Henry J. Wallu
(Dem.) was elected mayor, and the en-
tire Democratic ticket was elected, re-
versing the result of two years ago,
when the Republicans swept the city.
A sweeping victory fur the Citizens’
ticket, nominated by the joint Repub-
lican and Democratic conventions re
suited in Sodulia. The Socialists,
against whom the other parties com-
bined, made a vigorous campaign, but
polled a small vote.
Won’t Sign, the Bonds.
Topeka. Kan.: Attorney General
Coleman has begun suit in the Su
preme Court to com pul T. T. Kelly,
treasurer, and E: B. Jewett, warden
of the penitentiary, to sign the binds
that were issued under the instruc
tions of the law enacted by the re-
cent legislature, providing for the es-
tablishment of a state oil refinery.
The Attorney General declares that
the state treasurer and the warden
have refused to sign the bonds, and;
that they have given no reason foi
the refusal.
Farm Incorporation Bill.
Austin, Texas: Senator Stokts in-
troduced a bill yesterday morning tc
permit the incorporation of companies
to grow, purchase and sell farm, or
chard and dairy products and to con
struct and maintain establishments
for the manufacturing, milling, pre-
serving, refrigerating, canning and cur-
ing same for market and for selling
same.
A Quadruple Murder.
Batesville, AVk.: John Dow, a ne
gro, went to Sulphur Rock yesterday
morning to see his wife, who was at
her father’s home. She refused to re
turn with him, and he drew a pistol
and shot her dead. Then he shot and
killed is wife’s mother and another
negress. His father-in-law secured a
gun and shot Dow, but not fatally
the latter being able to return the fire
killing his father-in-law. Tin sheriil
and coroner have gone to the scene
from here.
No Political Significance.
Berlin: No significance whatever
is attributable to the visit of Prince
Henry to Russia, as it was announced
some weeks ago tiiat he and his wife
were going to visit the widow to th<-
Grand Duke Sergius, who is a sister
of Princess Henry.
Lincoln, Neb., April 3.—“It is a get-
ting together of the aggressive ele-
mets of the party in active prelimin-
ary work for the great battle of 1908.”
is the way \V. J. Bryan explained his
recent activity in connection with the
reorganization of tho Democratic
party. Mr. Bryan returned yesterday
from Des Moines, and it was in par-
ticular reference to the meeting held
there Saturday night at which lie
made the principal address that he
spoke. Mr. Bryan explained that the
Des Moines meeting, like the one held
at Topeka late in February, was to
further a movement for the organiza-
tion of Democratic clubs and thereby
place the machinery of the party in
the hands of those who meant it well.
“I know,” he said, "the same plan
has been adopted as in Kansas,” with
both of which he- is in hearty sym-
pathy.
“Reorganization," said Mr. Bryan,
“is hardly the way to express it, be-
cause the party does not need reor-
ganization. There is no factional divi-
sion calling for separate efforts, but
the movement is to get hack to tho
people, to put the radical and pro-
gressive element in more complete
control that there may be united, har-
monious effort for the compaign of
1908. The purpose is to begin at tho
bottom, letting the rank and file have
a voice in the national convention
by writing the platform at home for
the national convention to ratify,”
Mr. Bryan said he was nut trying
to hold a faction or to change the or-
ganization further than that he want-
ed the progressive men of .the party
to take the lead. The conservatives,
he said, had dominated the last na-
tional convention, and the party had
met with defeat. He believed the
rank and file of the voters was for
progression and radicalism, if need
be. Mr Bryan continued:
“The work should begin at the pri-
maries, and every Democrat should
vote. It remains with the rank and
file of the Democratic party to say
what the party's course shall be. No
one will for a moment doubt the
course, which will be adopted by
the rank and file of the party if they
avail themselves of the duty to reg-
ister their preference at the prima-
ries. But a systematic effort will be
necessary in order that Democrats
may be impressed with the import-
ance of participating in their party’s
councils. The enemies of good gov-
ernment, the beneficiaries of class
legislation act as one man with unlim-
ited means at their disposal. The
people have only their votes, and
they must cast them together or suf-
fer defeat. Democrats, who believe
their party should be a party of the
people, have it in their power through
systematic organizalion to so shape
their party’s politics and govern its
environments for the campaign that
it will command the support of all
men who have grown weary of the
exactions ma le becaus • of special in-
terests."
Mr. Bryan in conclusion quoted his
announcement of several weeks ago
for the organization of the party, say-
ing the plan does not rest upon the
paramount importance of any one is-
sue, but it recognizes the right of tne
Democratic votes to control the pol-
icy of tho party and to demand its po-
sition upon public questions.
Mr. Bryan presided last night at the
meeting in St. Paul’s M. E. church and
introduced Baliingtun Booth, who
made an address in behalf of the Vol-
unteers of America.
