THE SCRAMBLE FOR BONDS.
1t Promises to Exceed that for the Last
Bond Issue.

Baltimore, Md, Jan. 2.-The scram-
bic among local banks and other imam
cial institutions to subscribe for the
bonds which will be sold by the United
States Government for gold, with
which to replenish the Treasury gold
reserve, promises to exceed that for
the last issue. The applications al
ready received from Baltimore Nation
al Banks amount, in aggregate, 1T is
said, to about 81 100000. This does not
include the applications of savings
banks, trust companies and individ-
uals.
Messrs. Alexander Brown and Sons,
ii is said, will also bid for round a
mount, probably $1,000,000.
It is estimated that the baltimore
National Banks hold about $2,500,O00
in gold, and that they could conven-
iently spare 100000 of this amount
Besides the holdings Of the National
Banks, the savings institutions and
trust companies also have large
stock of the precious metal on hand
which they would gladly exchange for
government bonds.

PERlSHED IN THE FLAMES.
Six Persons Suffocated by Smoke and
Then Burned to Death.

Columbus, O., Jan. AT o'clock
to-day the residence of John II. Hib-
bard, 1898 East Long street, was dis
covered to be on fire. Mr.. and Mrs. Hib-
bard, their son Allen, aged five, and
baby Dorothy, Miss Fay Hibbard and
Mrs. Grace Hibbard Lee, sistrs, of
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, perished in smoke,
and their bodies were more or less
destroyed by fire.
Mr.. Hibbard was Secretary of the
Central Ohio Gas and Fuel Company,
and is connected with Dshlers, Hunting
tons and others of the wealthiset fam
lilies of Columbus. Four sons less
than IS years of age, and the colored
servant, aged 18, and originally from
Palatka, Florida, escaped by jumping
from second story windows. Natural
gas was the cause, but the fire orig
mated by some defective connection.

FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING.
Silver Men Will Offer Substitute to
the Bond Bill.

Washington, Jan 2-The Senate
Finance committee met to-day and adj
journed at 1890 until tomorrow. No
action was taken and no vote was had.
The bond bill was discussed but the
tariff bill was not taken up. Senator'S
White and Wolcott and Vest were not
present, so that the free silver men
and the anti-silyer men were tie.
After the regular meeting of the com
mittee the Republican members held
a conference in the committee room
and the Democrats conferred in the
District committee room. Senator
Jones, Pop, Nebraska), went with
the Democrats as the conference was
considered silver conference more
than anything else.
The conference of the silver adVo-
Gates resulted in unanimous decision
to insist upon an amendment in the
nature OF a substitute providing for
free coinage and the elimination of all
authority for the issuance of bonds.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas was dele
gated to prepare measure in accord
ance with these views to be submitted
to a full meeting of the committee as
soon as ID can be completed. There is
hope that the bill can receive final CON
siderasion at the hands of the commit
tee in time to permit reporting 10 the
Senate tomorrow, but this may not be
accomplished.
The absentees will be pafred when a
vote is reached in committee.
The Democratic and silver members
concluded their conference before 2
o'clock, but the Republican anti-free
coinage men continued theirs during
the afternoon. 1t is quite definitely
determined, however, that they will
make a minority report and it is more
than probable that they will endorse
the House bill without amendment
The majority of the Republicans will
oppose the reporting Of the substitute
bill tomorrow but will ask that the
report be postponed until Tuesday
aext.

OF the Thirty-One Injured Two

THE LOSS is AT LEAST 500. 900
Fire Added to the Horrors of the Ter

ST. Louis, Mo, Jan. 2.--Three per

four more are missing and thirty-one
received injuries, more or less serious,
as the result of an explosion that oc-
CURED this afternoon at 800 North
End street.
Everybody for blocks around Sec
ond, Third, Locust and Olive streets

to-day by series of three explosions
that demolished the building at309

badly damaging adjoining structures
and shattered thousands of panes of
glass in the vicinity
The building which is occupied by
the Anchor Peanut Co, and III. B.
Grubb agent of Ditwiller and Street.
of Greenfield, n. J., was set on fire in
some manner. The flames which
started on the first floor communicat-
ed with a quantity of fireworks on the
second floor owned by Grubb. These
exploded with terrific force, throwing
burning brands, bricks and debris in
every direction. The conclusion had
rent the partition wall to the South
into the Levison and Blythe kucilage
and Ink Manufacturing Company, and
the Excelsior Wire and Iron Manufac-
turing Company, adjoining on the
North and the flames soon communi-
Gated to these two buildings, in which
q considerable number of men and
boys were at work.
Three alarms were sent in. The
whole town fire department respond
ed and the work of rescuing the injur-
ed was performed in courageous
manner by the police and firemen.
For some time six ambulances were
kept busy taking out the dead and
wounded and conveying them to the
morgue and city dispensary. Emmitt
Kennedy, a boy was taken from a
third-story, front window of Leyison &
Blythe's establishment. Kennedy
said there were two other men near
the middle of the second-floor. The
firemen hurried to the spot and could
hear the cries of the men who were
slowly burning to death. AS soon as
the flames were subdued, dozen fire.
men began to tear away the wreckage
around the imprisoned men with picks,
axes and saws.
~AAbNA v was tdhGn Oub SLuti
soon after the crushed and dead body
of Frank Neihaus was secured.
The firemen soon cleared away the
debris and with thirty minutes work,
two bodies We're brought to light,
lying side by side. They were horribly
mangled and burned and were hur-
ried to the morgue where they were
identified as Albert Mcllier and Paul
Hauptner
The firemen kept at their work
clearing away the debris, and search
ed every foot of the ground for the
bodies of the other missing men. They
were unable to find any more how
ever. The missing, it is thought, may
still be in the ruins or may have
escaped and neglected to report their
safety.
The loss is at least 100000 to the
buildings and their contents.
