CROWD ATTENDING MASS
THROWN INTO A PANIC
BY EXPLOSION OF BOMB
Blast Occurs in St.
Peter’s at Rome,

FIGHT TO GET OUT
Pope Thinks Bomb Was NoJ
Intended for Him—Per
petrator Not Found.
Rome. Italy. Nov. 19.—A bomb ex
ploded nt noon yesterday Inside of St.
Peteie. near Uanova's celebrated mon-
ament to Pope Clement XIII. Masses
had just finished, except one, when
there was a loud report and a cloud of
,„i.,ke filled the basHIca. The edlflce
was crowded and great confusion fol
lowed. There were- no fatalities.
soon as the echoes of the tremen
dous mar had ceased, a canon sought,
by reassuring words, to quiet the peo
ple but In vain. They fled In all direc
tions and a number of women fainted!
Women and children screamed and
men tiled to protect their families In
the crush.
The church Is so large, however, that
there was ample room for the crowd to
scatter and no one was injured. No
trace of the perpetrator of the deed has
been found.
The pontiff asked anxiously if the
church had been Injured. Upon being
reassured, he fell on his knees, saying
he must implore mercy for the mis
guided perpetrator of the deed.
Soon after this announcement was
made to him, the pope went to the
throne room, where he admitted to pri
vate audience Manager Kennedy, rec
tor of the American College, wlfo pre
sented to hls holiness Mr. and Mrs.
Louis J. McCloskey, of Philadelphia,
and Mr. Paul S. King, of New York,
who noticed that the pope was pale.
Not For Me, Says Pope.
After this the pope proceeded to the
hall of the consistory where he receiv
ed about two hundred persons. Includ
ing twenty-flve students of a South
American college, to whom he delivered
a short address. None of these per
sons knew anything of the explosion.
Conversing later with a prelate, the
pope said:
"Nobody can say the bomb was In
tended for me, as I even did not hear
the noise. The only plausible explana
tion was that It was Intended merely
to frighten and not to do any damage.
It was probably n mild vengeance of
the anarchists against the precaution
ary arrests that have been made ow
ing to the coming visit of the King of
Greece.”
This bomb explosion makes the third
anarchist outrage In Italy in four days,
the other two being the murder of
Professor Rossi, In Naples, yesterday,
and the explosion of a bomb In front
Of . the Cafe Arango, In this city, on
November 14.

Development of Ter

Chicago,' Nov. 19.—"We have enough
railroads now," said Edward H. Harrl-
man, master of 29,000 miles of rall-
rmjs, valued nt 12,500,000,000, during
an Interview In Chicago yesterday.

••Any proposition which would, by

•But to achieve what the world calls
success, a man must attend strictly to
business and keep a little In advance of

on the subject of railway expansion,
Mr. Ifnrrlman said that his vU?ws were
understood, and he pointed In that con
nection to the Increase of mileage in
the Illinois Central, which was a local
line, 707 miles long, In the southern
part of the state, when he became con-
neded vvith it In 1883. He believes
now, however 1 , that the Illinois Central
and other railroads that he Is connect
ed with can achieve th* best results by
developing the territory through which
they run.

Interest.
Thence the party will go to Johnson-
vllle, Tenn., where a steamer will be
taken for a trip up the Cumberland to

Federal forces met 40 years ago In one
of the bloodiest battles of the civil war.

the largest dining car ever built and
made especially for touring parties.
The party Is accompanied by a brass
band, which furnishes music on all
special occasions.
The special train arrived In Atlanta
over ten hours late from Andersonvllle,
where the site of the old prison was
Inspected. .Several, members of the
party were prisoners nt this place and
the visit had an additional Interest for
them. Coventor Cummins was visited
during Sunday by many prominent At
lantans, I but the stay of the dlstln
gulkhed people In Atlanta was not
marked by any set program.
BAIL IS REFUSED
-FI
At a final hearing of the application
for ball of the negroes accused of par
ticipation In the Brownsville shooting
on the evening of September 24, when
County Policeman Jim Heard was
killed, Judge Roan Monday morning
declined to Interfere except, possibly In
the cases of Anderson' Bates,; Arthur
Calhoun and the two Parks boys, whose
coses he took under consideration.
Milton Peters he allowed to, go on
hls own'recognizance on’ttie recom
mendation of Solicitor Hill.
The application for ball accomplished
practically nothing, .therefore, except
possibly compelling the etate to divulge
some of the evidence on which It de
pended for conviction.
The cases will come up again at
the next term of court, beginning on
Monday next, and at that time It Is
thought the lawyers representing the
defendants will agree to consolidate
some of the casee. If they do not the
cases will probably be strung out over
several terms of court.

$100,000,000
in STEINW Pianos
The fact that over a hundred million dollars worth of Steinway
Pianps have been sold without the aid of bargain-store, alliances or
mechanical devices,, proves conclusively that Steinway pre-eminence is
founded solely on merit.
The music-loving public recognize that die creative genius exercised
and die infinite pains expended in Steinway constmction demand a
somewhat higher price, but that in proportion to value received the
Steinway is the most moderate-priced piano in existence.
For proof examine the Vertegrand at $500, a happy combina
tion of merit and price that has made it the shrine of worship for the
legion of music lovers of refinement, culture and
judgment whose limited means have heretofore
' prevented the gratification of their desires.
When in the market for a real piano,
come to see and hear the Steinway.
