FATAL EXPLOSION OF GAS.
T Three Men Dead and Several Badly Hurt
 at Baltimore.

Three Men Dead and Several Badly Hurt
 at Baltimore.
 BALTIMORE, Dec S.-An explosion of gas occurred at the works of the Mary land Steel Company, Sparrow's Point, yesterday morning, and several men were in jured. Three of the victims have since died. Another is not expected to live. Four others were badly injured but they are not believed to be fatally hurt. The dead are:
 ARTHUR M. AUSTIN, aged 22 years, of Baltimore. married.
 GEORGE BRAIDwooD of Baltimore, married.
 JOHN LYNCH. of Sparrow's Point, un married.
 The wounded are:
 Washington Sapp, Thos. Miller Color ed), of Linwood, N. O.; August Bell (colored), of Montpelier, Va; Wm. Taub- man (colored).
 Forty were at work in the imm ediate vicinity when the explosion took place. The furnace was being blown out for repairs. Hot bricks were thrown in every direction with great force. The flames spread rapidly and enveloped some of the injured men whom the fly ing bricks had knocked senseless. The uninjured workmen at once went to the rescue of their co-laborers and dragged them out of further danger. Austin was almost instantly killed. Brain wood fingered in great agony for tn rec hours, and Lynch lived six hours after the accident. The cause of the expl osion is not known, but it probably occurr ed from water pipe springing leak.

THE sPEAKERsHIP.

Charles F. Crisp, as he was escorted to the speakers chair after having been elected by the unanimous vote of the democratic representatives to-day, was greeted by salvo after salvo of applause from the floor and from the galleries, and from the earnest manner in which he was applauded by every democrat in the chamber, it was apparent that the long and hotiy contested fight in the caucus-the longest for many years had left no bad blood among the friends of the defeated candidates. Another noticeable and commendable thing is that the friends of the victorious candi date have shown no disposition to crow over the friends of those who were de- feated. The democrats of the house are to-day united and compact body, and there is every prospect of their remain ing such, notwithstanding the hercu- lean efforts of the republicans to create discord, and, failing in that, to create the public impression that there is dis cord. Judge Crisp will make an ex- cellent speaker, one of the best that ever presided over congress. He is a brilliant man, honorable and fair, and will rule the house with a steady hand.
 Never before were there so many new faces in single congress, and in conse- quence there has been an ususual run on the first edition of the congressional directory. Every body wants to find out something about the unknown men. The occupations of the representatives, as given in the directory, show that the lawyers are still in the majority, there being 213 who are owners of legal ''sheep skins" Farmers come next with sixty-fve, school teachers forty two, merchants twenty four, manufac- turers twenty, bankers and capitalists nineteen, journalists ten, printers nine, physicians five, sailors three, clergymen two, one miner, one machinist, one blacksmith, one bookkeeper, one car penter, one tanner, one car finisher and one harness maker. The total of occu- pations given is greater than the membership, but that is because some of the members have followed more than one occupation. Nine of the members were born in Ireland, three in Germany, three in Canada, two in Norway, one in Sweden, one in Greece, one in England and one in Scotland. It would be difficult to get more repre- sentative body together.
