ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22.-At 7:30 o'clock this morning fire was discovered on the upper floor of the big five-story building at Nos. 1918 and 1926 Chestnut street. The first floor was occupied by the Columbian Mills company, and seventy five employees, in- cluding about forty girls, had just com- menced work. They became panic stricken and made wild rush for the stairs and fire escapes. The occupants of the lower floors and adjoining buildings joined in the strug- gle for their safety and a number were slightly injured, but none seriously.
 Owing to the infiammable character of the material used by the Colum bian Mills company. the flames spread with great rapidity and in less than ten minutes the entire building was burning. general alarm brought over twenty engines to the scene, and after an hour of hard fighting the flames were under control.
 While fighting the fire fourteen firemen had narrow escape from being crushed to death under falling wall; few firemen sustained light injuries by being struck by bricks.
 The building was owned by Liggett & Myers, and is totally destroyed, together with all the machinery and tools of the employees. The principal occupants of the building and their losses are:
 Building owned by Liggett & Myers, to- bacconista, $40, ,000.
 William Hufnagle, ladies' and shoes, stock S60, 900.
 Mound City Shoe company, stock s6o,- 900.
 D. B. Ely, feather renovating company, stock and machinery S20, ,000.
 Hinckley Carpet Cleaning and Renovat- ing company, $10 ,000.

 Whereas, This committee did at it's last meeting provide that a man should be a legal voter, democrat and intend in good faith to support the nominee of the party to be entitled to participate in the demo- cratic primaries; and
 Whereas, Certain parties invoked the power of a court, and had the provisions of the election law, which gave effect to these laudable and time- -honored principles, sus- pended in one county of the district and relaxed in two others to the extent that the election was not held under the law and the regulations; therefore be it

His friends had the committee called to- gether again, when Dr. Bishop moved that the resolution be reconsidered.
