were heroes among the spectators, how

From all over the city people began
moving toward the fire and the crowd
had greatly increased within five min

after the first explosion, the second ex-

first heightened the terror all over the
city and sped death and desolation at the
disastrous scene.
There were still heroes left to help
pull the shrieking wounded and the
groaning dying to a distance, but the

SEN4TORTAL.


The great interest this evening is that
surrounding the result on the first ballot
to be taken at 8 o'clock, on the nominee
for United States senator by the Repub-
licans at their initial caucus
1t is believed that after the first ballot
or two there will be some lively changes.
Indications certainly point to the fact
that strong and pronounced preference
for Major Hood will set in very soon
after the first ballots.
a man of the highest personal char
acter, unswerving integrity, diplomatic
and with great ability along the lines
now most desired by the people, Major
Hood will be easy to center upon, after
the formal contest is we'll on.
While figures are uncertain it is not
unlikely that the first ballot will run
something like the following: Burton, 80;
Hood, 81; Thacher. Il; Leland. IS; Ady.
13; Smith, 4; Horton, 2; Ingalls,, 2.
Several of the candidates of course
claim more than they are credited with
above, but the footing shows 105, which
is the total number to be in the caucus.
