Deaths From Gas Explosion

Indianapolis, Ind, September AT 2:3O
o'clock it was reported that seven dead
bodies had been removed from the ruins
Of the gas explosion at Broad Ripple
today. OF these only three had been pos
itively identified. 1t is thought at least
the remains of two more may be in the
debris.
1t is supposed that natural gas had ac-
cumulated in the Watts cellar and when
some one went to the dark room with a
light an explosion followed. 1t shattered
the building and injured all the occu-
pants. Every house in the suburb was
shaken. and farmers two miles north of
Broad Ripple felt the concussion and hur-
ried to the scene. The building was a
two-story frame house. and caught fire
from the explosion. People ran from
their homes and the hand fire apparatus
was hurriedly dragged to the burning
building. There was no water supply at
hand and the hose was laid in the di-
rection of White river, but the hose would
not reach to the flames. A large crowd of
persons stood helpless as they saw the
building burn. Women ran in the street
crying and ringing their hands. The men
who went to the rescue found fierce fire
as well as heavy debris in their course
Their hands were burned and they almost
suffocated from the heat. but they worked
heroically to relieve the sufferers. The
money loss will likely amount to more than
$4,000 All of the buildings destroyed were
wooden ones.

A Letter From w. j. Bryan

st. Louis. Mo-, September 4.-The ST.
Louis Post Dispatch tomorrow will
print a letter from William J. Bryan,
the first utterance after three months
of travel and observation during the
return of prosperity. Among other
things he says:
Wheat has risen because the foreign
crop has beenEexceedingly short.
The fact that silver and wheat have
parted company will cause no dismay
to those who understand that the law
of supply and demand regulates the
price of bith.
Nothing can better disclose the
weakness of the republican position
than the joy manifested by the republi-
cans over events for which their ad-
ministration and their politics are in no
wise responsible.
IF the republicans desire to claim
credit for the high price of wheat they
must assume the responsibility for the
famine in India

New York, September 4.-The second
annual national circuit race meet of
the Quill Club Wheelmen began this
afternoon at the Manhattan Beach
tracks and will be concludede on Mon
day evening. The principal attrac-
ton this year is the big handicap at
two miles for professionals, in which
the prizes in the aggregate amount to
$4,000 and the winner will derive lit
tie over $1,000. Thirty-seven of the best
professional riders in the country are
entered for this event, the trial heats
of which were run off this afternoon.
The first five men of the trial heats
qualified for the final, which will be-
cided on Monday. Just before the first
trial was started a wire strung from
the grand stand to the judges bench
and from it four chamois bags were
suspended. They contained the first
and second, third and fourth prizes,
made of $40 gold pieces, and they re-
manned there until the third heat had
been decidede. The men who qualified
for the final are: Bald, Callahan,
Kimble, Mcfarland, Aker, Titus, Gard
iner, Coleman, SteensOn, Jefferson,
Mosher, Lee, White, Becker and Miller.
These fifteen will race in one heat
Monday afternoon. Earl Kiser, of
Dayton, Ohio, was unable to take part
in this race, as he is suffering from a
boil over his right eye. Walter San
ger, of Milwaukee, started in the third
heat from scratch, but he was badly
pocketed in the last lap and could not
get through in time to qualify.

Yesterdays Races

New York, September 4-There was
a large attendance at Sheepshead Bay
today drawn by the announcement that
Hamburg was to run in the chief race
and Ben Brush and Hastings were to
meet in the Ominium handicap. Cliff
ford was an added starter in the Omin-
ium and a great race was looked for.
Clifford was the favorite although Ben
Brush carried off the money. Both were
beaten out, however, getting no better
than placed.
First Race-Five furlongs. Easter
Gift, 3 to l and even, won; Gala Day,
to 2 and to 5, second; Warrenton, Is
to 1 and to l, third. Time, 1:022 2-5.
Second Race-Six furlongs. Peep
