| A Boiler in Louisville Lets Go With Several Persons Injured-Ha1f a Million Dollars Worth of Property Destroyed.
 LOUISVILLE, Oct. 26.-By 8 boiler, ex- l p1osion here at 5 p. m. to-day enc man and nearly half million dollars worth of property was destroyed.
 William R. Adams, @ fireman at the electric light plant of tho Louisville Gas
 company, was throwing coal into the fur mace when one of the nest of seven boilers let go. The shock in the vicinity was like an earthquake. Adams was thrown to the ground with terrific force and re- ceived fatal injuries. The shed in which the boilers were located was demolished,
 and pieces of iron and timber and showers of red hot ooals were thrown in every
 direction. A great mass of iron and del
 uge of burning coals were thrown across
 narrow alley into the rear of
 Kaufman & Strauss big dry goods store
 and the wall of the store was carried away. Half dozen clerks and Bookkeeper Drey-
 fus were caught in the wreckage, but it is
 believed all escaped alive. Dreyfus was
 seriously injured. Carrie Dinkelspiel, Hattie Ennis and Lena Sickels were slight ly injured. In moment apparently the whole building was in flames The weather has been very dry for two weeks and the wreckage and goods burned like finder. The fire department was quickly at work, but the fire in the wrecked build ing was beyond control. Attention was
 turned to saving the Courier-J Journal build ing, two doors north, and the Polytechnic
 library building, two numbers south. The
 water tower was manned, the hose in the Courier-Journal building was turned and
 fourteen fire engines were set to playing
 upon the flames. But it was an hour be- fore they were under control. At one
 time it seemed as though the Courier
 Journal building would certainly be
 burned. The few printers in the com
 posing room left, and reporters and editors
 gathered their valuables and prepared to
 escape, most of them actually leaving. But
 the wind was from the north and carried
 the fire in the opposite direction. By
 strenuous efforts the Polytechnic building
 was saved with heavy damage from water
 to the books, pictures and other art collec-
 tions. The fire caught in and burned out
 the two upper floors of J. V. Escott & Sons, dealers in pictures. mirrors, etc.,
 and the two lower floors were flooded
 with water. Leverone's confectionery
 and Porter's millinery store were slightly
 damaged.

Fire in the Pension office

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Early this morn ing fire started in the basement of the pen sion office where the waste papers is thrown, but the quick work of the fire men confined the flames to the one large room. There were ten or twelve tons of waste paper in the basement, and as the fire seemed to be at the bottom of the mass the fremen say spontaneous combustion was the cause. A stream of water was poured into the room fully an hour and the fire company kept in the building some time after the flames were extinguished in order to make sure that there was no fire left in the closely packed paper. The damage done was not very heavy.

Brazil to be Largely Represented at the Show at Chicago.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The president of Brazil has asked from the congress of that republic an appropriation of $550, 900 to pay the expense of it's representation at the Chicago fair. Recent advices from Brazil indicate that there will be very little opposition to the appropriation in con gress, and in addition to this sum at least S250, ,000 has been or will be appropriated by the legislatures of the Several states for their independent exhibits. It seems probable that Brazil will expend more money in her representation at the exposi- sition than any nation except the United States.

THE POLITICAL rIELp.

confidence Expressed on Both Sides In New York-Hard Work Planned for the Closing Week in ohio. NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The last week oi the campaign begins with both parties confident of success. Each side can take the same facts and figures and deduce e1- actly opposite conclusions. For instance, the democratic managers claim that the large registration in this city means such tremendous majority for Flower below the Harlem river that his election is as- sured, no matter how great the Fassett ma jority in the interior of the state may be. On the other hand, the republican state committee asserts that the large registra- tion here is not good omen for Flower, but an indication that thousands of citi- zens who do not take the trouble to vote, except in presidential years, have gone out of their way to deal death blow to Tam many Hall and it's candidates.
 Chairman Griffin of the democratic ex- ecutive committee says: ssThe registry record in this city settles it. Flower is eleStea."
 Chairman Husted of the republican ex- ecutlve committee says: "The registry record in this city settles it. Fassett is elected"
 The betting men appear to be more in doubt now as to the result of the election than they were in the presidential cam paign three years ago.
 Here is verbatim report of the opinions of the two chairmen of the state executive committees at 10 o'clock this morning:
 MT. Griffin: "The republicans are on the run."
 General Husted: ''The democrats are on the run."
 The majorities for the gubernatorial candidates calculated to-day in the two headquarters are as follows: Flower, 25, 900 (at least.) Fassett, 30,O0O (at 1east.)
 CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 26.-Both parties have planned an active speaking canvass for this, the last week of the campaign. The republicans have arranged for forty big meetings 8 day, and the democrats about the same number. Each party is said to have upwards of seventy speakers from outside the state. When the cam paign closes, Mckinley will have visited eighty of the eighty eight counties in the state and made 11S speeches, while Gov eInor Campbell, beginning month later, will have made ffty-one speeches.
