Building in St. Louis Where the Firemen

ST Louis, Jan. 22-The bodies of three
firemen, from which life had been crush
ed by falling floors, were today taken

ers slightly injured We're recovered dur
ing the night. This makes a total of
three killed and six injured as follows:

The disaster of last night was due to
the rOttennsss ofthe timbers which held
up the floors. Now that the condition
of the building is known, everybody
declares that il was death trap, which
should have been condemned long ago.
Coroner Waite says that he will make
every effort to fix the responsibility for
the disaster.

THE GREATEST EVER KNOWN
Probable Cause of the Du Ponts' GunpOvs
der Explosion

The greatest explosion of guupowdeS
the world has ever known took place
ct the Du Points works on the It'll Of
October, 1890. With their usual eau
tious policy, saws McClure's Magazine
the Du Points have never stated Just
how great quantity of powder eN
ploded at this time, but IL Is certain
that three mag gaines and three milli
IN the upper yard were blown up, ons
after another. and n safe estimate viii
put the quantity Of powder exploded
at one hundred and fifty tons In this
explosion thirteen men and one woman
were instantly killed, while twenty
two men and nine women were injured
some fatally.
The explosion occurred little ATTIC
three o'clock in the afternoon. 1t be
gan in the magazine for hexagona
powder, the kind used in large guns
and the most dangerous, being made
not in grains. but in reddish. six-sidec
cakes about an inch thick, with hole
running through the center. These
cakes look like nothing so much as the
nuts on n wagon wheel At the time
of the explosion cakes of powder were
being packed into large wooden boxes
lined with tin, each box being about
three feet square. The tin Innings pro
jected above the tops OF the boxe,
about two inches, and, when a box was
packed, were folded down over tin
cover fitted closely upon the cakes of
powder. 1t was the duty of one of the
worlnnen, William Green. to solder
these tin edges down upon the tin
cover, a hot iron being used for this
purpose.
On the day In question what he
feared came 20 pass. A fellow work
man, William McGarvey. was bringing
him the hot irons from a charcoal
brazier about twenty-five yards dis
tant. Green stood just at the door %
the open magazine, aud all around him
were uncovered boxes with the hexsg
onal powder. ready u Dc scaled and
slowed away. There were also dozens
of boxes that had been sealed just
what happened will never be known, foI
neither Green nor McGarvey were left
10 tell the story. But the probability
is that one OF the soldering irons was
little too hot and by touching particle
OF dirt on the tin cover produced ths
deadly spark

Quoted an undertaking business on

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 22-Relations

than ever. Hunter came within one
vote of election today and his opponents
are said 10 be contemplating filibus0er-
ing or other means for preventing de-
cisive result before Wilson's successor

all the Republican votes. except the
vote of Senator Stage, who held out for
Wilson and was Kissed, as were all the
Democrats who did not vote for Black

Populist, today, the latter being loudly
cheered. Blackburn got % votes, IL
short of election, with Wilson's place
vacant and II short of majority Of
all AIcCreary got 6. Carlisle and
BTckner 1. Blackburn got the vote OF
Darlington, the other Popuhst, and II
he had received all the Democratic
votes present, he would have had 81.
The abSentees were Senator OSlevic,
