DEATH OF THE HON. JOHN VAN BUREN,.

John Van Buren, Of New York, died on
board the steams ip Scotia, on Monday,
October Is, on his return from Europe,
where he had been for his health, and while
within few hours Of port He was the
son of President Martin Van Buren, and
was born at Hudson, February l8 1910 /;
graduated from Yale in 1928 read law
with Hon. b. F. Butler, of Albany was
Secretary of Legation to his father while
the latter was Minister to England in 1872,
and was chosen Attorney General for the
State of New York in l845. Then he re-
tired to the practice Of his profession. In
l848 he was one of the prominent advo-
Gates of the Free Soil party, and from HAT
time to this has been before the public as &
speaker upon the questions Of tue day. He
was one who believed firmly in the middle
path, and his conservatism was so great
that it caused him to halt when persistency
would have been victory. He vas most
genial and agreeable companion well-read,
quick in repartee, never vindictive, and
finding some witty apology for the ~orst
defeats. His position in his profession was
deservedly high, and on the stump or in a
lecture room he had singular power Of
claiming attention Something like an ap-
parent lack Of sincerity prevented him
from gaining the full success to which his
qualifications entitled him.

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. II, 1866.

81. LOUIS, oct. II, 1906.
A terrible boiler explosion occurred at
ten O'Clock to-day, in the turning shop Of
j. II. Babcock on Franklin avenue, totally
demolshing the shop and also three-story
brick building on West street
Twenty-Five persons are known to be
buried in the ruins eight, when taken out
were dead, and twelve more or less iuiur-
ed. Two, and perhaps more, are still bur
led in the debris. The ruins Immediately
took fire, and a large force is now engaged
in extinguishing the flames and removing
the rubbish.
LATER-Six more dead bodies have been
taken from the ruins of the turning shop
this evening. 1t is now thought others still
remain buried in the debris Some Of The
bodies are 80 badly burned that they can
not be identified.
The cause of the explosion to-day was
the weakness of the boiler, of which the
proprietors are said to have been notified
by their engineer some days since. The
tomorrow. After the explosion the ruins
took fire and burned furiously for some
time, despite the most desperate efforts OF
the fremen. Two dwellings adjoining were
consumed. During this time the scene was
appalling. The appeals for aid of helpless
creatures in the ruins, and the frantic cries
of their relatives outside, were heartrepd.

CurtIn's majority. Is, 1926

Bss- The commissioners in charge of the
erection of the extenton of the State Capt.
tol have finally taken the building off the
hands Of the contractor, and the work is
pronounced completed. The new building
is ample for all requisite purposes. 1t is a
very substantial edifice, in architectural
harmony with the main structure, and most
complete in its details. The front which it
presents on the north of the Capitol adds
greatly to the appearance of the group of
public buildings in the public grounds, and
when the grounds are rearranged, with the
completion Of the iron fence on Fourth
street, the entire Improvement will be a
credit to the commonwealth The upper
story of the extension is to be devoted to
the accommodation Of the State Library.
The work of the erection of cases, CALLER
les, &c, is progressing successfully, and it
is the calculation Of Vein Forney, the Ii
brarian, that the new room will be finished
and the Library removed therein in time
for the use of the next Legislature.

The TERRIBLE FRAUDS IN THE LUzERNE DIS
TRICr.--ln studying the returns of the late
election, two facts forcibly impress the in
telligent observer--that wherever the off
cial patronage-as in our navy-yard wards
or the prejud!ces of the adopted citizens
as in the counties of Schuylkill and Lu
zerne---could be used and ,operated upon
there the Copperhead majorities increased
But for the corruptions and intrigues grow.
ing out of these two elements, the Union
majority in Pennsylvania, today, would be
nearer one hundred thousand than fifteen
thousand. Great surprise has been mani
tested at the enormous majority thrown in
the county of Luzerne against General
GEARY. Why and how this was done, let
the Scranton Republican of the 18th inst
relate.
We are glad to perceive that Mr.. ARCH
BALD, the Union candidate for Congress. has
resolved to. contest the election, in which
case we have no doubt that the House Of
Representatives will decide in his favor,
and thus oust the Copperhead DENIsoN, who
allowed his patriotism to resort to such
outrageous frauds for the purpose of cheat
ing an intelligent people out of their
rights. - Philadelphia Press.

cen out of the twentyfour members of Con
gress, gain Of two over our present dele,
cation. These are the substantial results
of our complete and magnificent victory; a
victory achieved by the patriotic efforts OF
a loyal people, in defiance of the basest be
trayal on record, and in spite of the most
reckless abuse of Government patronage
ever encountered by any party triumph
OF right over wrong, and fairly won, in as
desperate struggle, and against as unscrup-
any adversary. Thanks to the Giver of all
victories. Thanks to all our co-laborers,
especially to my able, devoted and efficient
secretaries, who toled with me most faith
fully for four months without fee or re-
ward. Thanks to the other members of the
Committee, and to the various local organ
izations. Thanks to the gallant "Boys in
Blue" who fought and won another battle
for their country, and to the able and pa
triotic press throughout the State And
last, but not least, many thanks to the
noble Union League and the patriotic lib
erality of our friends in the city of Phila-
delphia.

B1~ Returns from the rscent election in
Nebraska give the Republicans majorities
in eight counties and the Democrats in
eight, the Republican majority in the eleven
counties being 3Os. The Brownville Ad-
rertjser of the 18th says: 1.-The Republi-
cans have made very decided gains i'll every
county so far heard from over the June cleo
ton, save Otoes, where the Democrats have
gained sixty, no doubt by bringing in local
interests for Morton. In the counties so
far heard from the Republican gain since
June foots up $50 dedu citing the Demo-
cratic gain in Otoes, go, leaves clear
Republican gain of 779. The Democratic
strongholds have all teen heard from, and
with the increased majorites, as shown
above we feel satisfied that the Union Re-
publican majority, official, will reach I,OOO.'

The Montgomery-county Copperheads
have arrested some Of the election officers
there for declining to receive the votes of
alleged deserters. This, of course, is only
a part of the persecution which Union men
who obeyed the provisions Of the State law
at the last election are to suffer in Copper
head counties. The prosecutors probably
forget that the Legislature last winter
found it necessary to order a change of
venue from Montgomery to Chester in one
or more similar cases
