Election riots in Newfoundland.

Pictou, N. S., May 6.
--Great election riots have prevailed in Newfoundland. The telegraph line was taken charge of by the mob last week, so no particulars were received.--Two were killed and thirteen wounded. The mob would not allow men to repair the lines in the several districts where the riots prevailed. The participators were disfranchised by the Governor. So far as I know the Conservatives were successful.
