One Thousand Waited.

HUNTINGDON. Pa, Aug. 11.-Near-
ly 1000 people were waiting for Mr.
Bryan at Johnston. The train stopped
short of the station. and there was a
mad rush of the crowd down the tracks
10 the rear car. Ex-Congressman
Kerr presented Mr. Bryan and Mr..
Bland, both of whom were roundly
cheered. Neither spoke but Mr.. BRYAN
shook hands with a large number of
persons.
AT Cresson, 300 residents GREETED the
train and cheered the nominee, with
whom many shook hands. Ex-Gov-
ernor Hogg, of Texas, who is also EN-
route to New York, was discovered in a
forward coach of the train and Mr..
Bryan invited him to his coach just be-
fore CresSon was reached
A.hoonah gave Mr.. Bryan a rousing
reception. When the train came to a
standstill in the station there,
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
were lined up along the tracks. Many
others were crowding balconies and
windows of neighboring houses, while
box cars and other points of vantage
were lined with workmen from the rail-
road shops.
The rear platform OF the train was
not in an advantageous position to
enable most of those composing the
thTong to get near Mr.. Bryan, and Of
all the vast Assem- 5lage not more than
500 could crowd into the narrow space
between the train and guard wall to
places directly in front of where the
nominee stood. The Bryan and Sewau
club, bearing badges inscribed '16 to
L. led the enthusiasm. The appearance
of Mi. Bryan on the platform
BROUGHT OUT A MIGHTY CHEER.
There was a struggle to get near him
and much confusion resulted. There
were yells of Bryan" and Speech"
Standing beside Mr. Bryan, was Mr..
Bland, and the latter started to address
the audience He told them that the
demonstration was a. repetition Of
what had being going on in Ohio and
the west. and said that 1T meant vic
tory for the Democracy in November.
The crowd cfeered Bland. but it did
not waiE to hear him speak, and cries
of Bryan" drowned his words.
Then ex-Congressman Kerr managed
to make some remarks about the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania being with the peO-
pie OF the Democratic nominees native
and adopted states, Illinois and Ne
braska in their unanimfty for Bryan.
This was interrupted with more cries
for the candidate, but Mr.. Bryan shook
his head and putting his hand to his
throat called out in a husky voice,
81 CAN'T. BOYS; I CAN'T"
Then a rush towards the car was
made, and Mr. and Mrs. Bryan went
through tine Misunderstanding ordeal until
the train moved out at Hoo o'clock.
Several hundred people were in the
audience that greeted Mr.. Bryan at
Tyrone. They gave him three good
cheers.
Mr. Bland made a. little speech and
Mr.. Bryan again gripped some Pennsyl-
vania hands.

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 11.-when
Huntingdon was reached at noon Mr..
Bland talked to the crowd while Mr..
and Mrs. Bland shook hands with
those composing it. Both Bland and
Bryan were cheered.
Lewiston Junction turned out a small
crowd and the story was repeated.
There were some counter cheers for
Mckinley. Mrs. Bryan was in great
demand at Lewiston and attracted
nearly as much attention as her hus-
band.
One hundred and fifty people at New
port cheered Bland, but forgot to cheer
Bryan, so intent were they in shaking
hands with him.
An excited, overheated, enthusiastic
mass of people swarmed beneath the
broad roof of the big Pennsylvania
station building at Harrisburg. They
crowded the platform, hung two deep
on ratings and ran along with the
train as it slowed up preparatory to
stopping. Among the members Of
the Bryan party estimates of the size
OF the Harrisburg congregation were
varied. Some placed it as high as
5000. Chairman Hubbell Of

the announcement, and great cry of

multitude. Three young men said they
escaped to an adjoining roof, where
they were attracted by the figure of Al
man on the platform of the fire escape
on the fourth floor. They ran back
and, cutting a piece of telegrap wire,
threw it over the edge, hoping to aid
him; but the flames rose over the cor
nice and they were compelled to leave
him to his fate. It seemed an age to
the crowd waiting below before the
body was taken down by the firemen
and laid on the pavement at Green
wich and Des Brosses streets. Many
OTHER STORIES OF HORROR
were told by the people who worked in
the buildings near at hand and wit
messed the outbreak of the fire. One
young girl, it was said, was seen to
approach one of the windows in the
burning structure. Before aid could
reach her she had fallen back into the
seething mass of flames waiting to
swallow her up AS the firemen got
to work the excitement cooled down
The reports of the wholesale loss of
life slowly dwindled. Supposedly dead
people began to appear. The first
bodies recovered were those of two men
supposed to be those of William Gray,
the foreman of A. K. Warren & Co.,
and j. Mueller, mechanic in the same
establishment Gray was the man who
had persisted on the fire escape. No
others had been discovered up to
late hour

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 11.-Boyd's theatre
tonight was crowded with an enthusiast
tic gathering of Republicans to listen to
addresses made by Hon. Roswell G.
Horn of New York and Senator John NJ
Thurston. John L. Webster was chair
man of the meeting and in happy vein
introduced the speakers. Senator Thurs
ton in the course of his remarks refuted
the charge that had been made against
him and denied having ever said that W.
]. Bryan was in the pay of the silver
kings of the west. He claimed that Nc
Kiney would carry every state east of
the Missouri river and north of the Ma
son and Dixon line. Mr.. Horn kept the
audience in roar of laughter during his
entire address.
He laid special stress upon the tariff
issue and gave the audience a chancH-so
ask questions on the financial issue. He
was enthusiastically received.

A LATER VERSION.


Loss of Life May Not Be Heavy, But
the Scenes Were Most Horrible.
T NEW YORK, Aug. 11-What at first
was reported as a most terribly dis
astrous fire broke out in the big six
story building at Nos. 465, 467, and 469
Greenwich street this afternoon With
almost incredible rapidity runners flew
about that twenty to thirty people had
lost their lives in the flames. Later this
was disputed, and late tonight it was
pretty well proved that not more than
five lives have been lost, if, indeed,
the number of dead would finally
reach that total. The financial loss
was fixed at something over 100000.
A. K. Warren & Co., electrical re-
pair shop, occupied the major portion
of the building, they having the first,
fourth, fifth and sixth floors
Julius Cohen occupied the second
with the California Distilling company.
Over this were several small business
plants.
The fire broke out in the lower part
of the big building. The flames, how
ever, were first seen issuing from the
windows on the fourth floor. They
were preceded by
AN EXPLOSION OF SOME KIND.
Those who were in a position to know
declared that it hardly seemed an in
slant before the entire structure was
enveloped in flames, and people were
seen at almost every window of the
building. Not for long time has
fire occurred IN which there was so
much of the tragic and horrible. One
dead body was recovered from the fire
escape after it had lain there for hours
in the full view of a horror stricken,

TAKE THE ELEVATOR.

Chief Dickinson of Cleveland, O., adj
vanced the proposition that in ali large
buildings the elevators and the electric
light plants should be kept running adj
night. In tail buildings, when the
firemen first got there a trip on the
elevator to the story where the fire
was could be made in the elevator IL
much quicker time than a fireman
could get a line Of hose to the scene.
Many thousands of dollars could be
saved by quick action in such cases.
OF course where there was danger of
the elevator falling on account of the
fire being in immediate propinquity,
he would not suggest the possible sac
rifce of human life; but it was a fact
that in most of the tall buildings when
the men get to the scene there is no
light and no way of handling hose
needed badly
Chief McVey of Baltimore had an
accident in an elevator at one time
whereby he lost a valuable man, and
he did not care to adopt the policy
suggested.
To this suggestion Chief Dickinson
retorted that the use of an elevator
would be governed by circumstances
as a matter of course. No chief would
order a man to go into danger where
death was sure to ensue. Intelligence
would dictate in such cases.
