referred 70 as their name father"
Mr.. Damrosch, in replying, said that UP
TO that time he had supposed that he was
the proud father of only his two little
daughters, but row his fond wish had been
realized and he saw that he had sons, and
large family of them. Continuing, he ex-
pressed his appreciation of the honor done
the name by calling this the Damrosch So
Getty, but he modestly said that he was dis
posed to think they had in mind the services
of his distinguished father and the effort he
had made during his life to introduce into
this country the newer operas, particularly
those'of Wagner, rather than anything that
he himself had yet done in music.
His remarks were in very happy vein and
were greeted with frequent laughter and ap-
plause. The Damrosch Society were greatly
pleased to find that they had unknowingly

In st. Louis, Missouri, three persons were
killed, two fatally injured, four more are
missing and thirty one received injuries more
or less serious as the result of series of three
explosions that at o'clock Thursday after
noon demolished the building at 300 Second
street, badly damaged adjoining structures
and shattered thousands of panes of glass in
the vicinity of Second, Third, Locust and
Olive streets. Fire broke out at once in the
stock of the Anchor Peanut Company, which
occupied the first floor of the building in which
the explosion occurred. The flames COM
municated quickly to stock Of fireworks
belonging to H. B. Grubb, agent for Ditweiler
4 Street, of Greenfield, N. j., who occupied
the second floor. The fireworks exploded
with terrific force, throwing burning bricks
and debris in every direction. The concus-
sion rent the partition wall to the south into
the Lewiston & Blythe Mucilage and Ink Man
nfaeturing Company and the Excelsior Wire
and Iron Manufacturing Company adjoining
on the north, and the flames soon communi-
Gated to these two buildings, in which con-
siderable number of men and boys were at
work. A loss Of at least 500, 600 resulted to
the buildings and their contents, which were
destroyed by the explosion or damaged by fire
or water This is fully covered by insurance.
