 House Does Lots of Damage.

House Does Lots of Damage.
 BROOKLYN. Get. 13.-A large flywhcel in the Atlantic avenue power house on Third avenue near Second street, Brooklyn, burst and completely wrecked the rear end of the building. Pieces of the wheel flew in all directions and several pieces weighing about two tons each flew over the house tops for two blocks.
 One of the pieces flew against the rear house of 473 Carroll street, completely wrecking it. The building was small frame dwelling occupied by four families The heavy iron fell on the roof of the house and crashed through it and landed on the lower floor, which was occupied by Mrs Ann keeGan. The woman was preparing supper when the crash came. The sides of the wall fell on her crushing her to the floor, and she was badly bruised about the head and body
 All oI the houses in the vicinity of the power house for several blocks were shaken by the report, and large gla>ss windows were broken in several of the stores. The wheel WAS in charge of Engineer John Caplis. The force of the wheel flying through the air knocked him down, and in falling his head struck one of the other dynamos He was badly cut about the head, and it is thought that his skull is fractured. It will take about SS55, ,OOO to re- pair the building and machinery.

CINCINNATI, Oct. l2.-The Republicans of Cincinnati turned out en masse to hear ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed of Maine speak at Music hall upon the virtues of protection and the follies of free trade. The immense auditorium was not only filled to over flowing, but the sidewalk in front of il was one compact mass of struggling hu- manity seeking an entrance. Viewed from the stage, the audience seemed to have been made up of about one-third ladies, who at times participated in the enthusiastic out bursts of their escorts.

Mir. Aliens Defiance.

The episode introducing the continuous session closed shortly after, and Mir. Allen of Nebraska resumed the floor and proceed ed with his argument lie had scarcely be gun before Mir. Palmer interrupted to ask whether it was his view of duty to resist a vote on the passage of the bill until the majority submitted to do something else
 Mir. Allen replied that so long as he could do so within the pale of the law he would do so.
 That is frank" commented NIr Pal. mer.
 Mir. Allen then driftcd off into a long dis quisition upon the relation between the volume of money and prices. This had the effect to deplete the senate rapidly, and to such an extent that Mir. Dubois, at s:15 o'clock, called attention to the absence of n quorum and the roil was called. At first the silver Republican senators failed to an swer, but, seeing that senators came flock ing into the chamber in numbers that as sured a quorum, they stood up and re sponded to their names. The result was the attendance of 63 senators.
 Then Mir. Allen again took up the thread of his argument. He received very little attention from his colleagues, but their omission was supplied by the interest with which he was heard by the people in the galleries. which at this time were packed to overflowing.
 Mir. Pcffer later came to Mir Aliens sup | port to set this matter right, as he SHtl, | by means of formidable looking volume, ! from which he prrcccted to read many sta l tiSticS relative To the volume and de~crp- 1 tion of government currency issues since | the beginning of the civil war
 ! At midnight Mir. Allen still held the floor, | and his voice was as resonant as when he
 started his speech al 5;:sn. He relieved him | self from time to time hy having the clerk
 read extracts from various economic | writers. There were few senators on the ! floor, but the galleries remained crowded. ! While he was still speaking Mir. Duhois l made the point of no quorum, and a call of
 the senate was ordered. Mir, Martin of | Kansas who will hc the next speaker, is expected to occupy three or four hours. 1 His desk is decorated with a magnificent ] basket of howers-a token from his Kansas
