Gentry Brothers, whose name is
known the world over in connection
with their Famous Shows, more than
made good their promise this morning
that the Grand street parade would
c"mpleiedly cclispse any similar page
amt seen here before. Thousands Of
people OF all are, viewed the parade
along the line Of march. and were de-
lighted and amazed at the gorgeous
and glittcring free spectacle which
must have cost the entcrprising man-
agemcnt many thousands of dollars.
The gildcd band wagons with their
two magnificent military bands, the
gold chariots, the magnificent cages
filled with comical monkeys and oth-
er animals, the beautiful and cute
little Shetland ponies, over two hun
drcd in number, with the gorgeous
trappln%S. the herd Of monster per-
forming elephants caparisoned in the
gorgeous barbaric splcndor Of Grim
son and gold, the beautiful trained
dogs marching and riding along and
plainly apprcciatin" the applause
which greeted them. the funny
clown baby elephant, the comical
monkey jockeys mounted on dogs and
ponies, together with long array of
talented and magnifccntly costumed
performers, all combined to present
the grandcst parade ever seen
ncre, and one which reached nearly
n mile in length. When so much gran
deur is displayed in free spectacle.
1t is safe to anticipate a grander and
greater show at the performances
which take place this afternoon and
tonight at , and 3 p. H., and if the
opinions of the press count for ANY,
thing in the great metropolitan cit
les, the Gentry Brothers have this
year exceeded the lavish productions

Neighbors were excited by piteous
cries for help coming from the woman's
home, and rushing to the scene, they
found the building in flames, but were
prevented from rescuing her by Smith,
who stood guard in the doorway until
the wall began to totter. The dead
woman is thought to have been tied to
a chair, as she continued to scream for
help until dead. When the officers
arrived on the scene of the fire Smith
was telling tatle of how he had been
sleeping and awoke to find the house
atlaze. He is now in steel cage at

FIGHT TO BOARD ELEVATOR
Entombed Miners Run Back Into the

Weston, w Va, January 26.-Five

to be dead as the result of an explosion
of fire damp in the Pennsylvania COM
pany mine at Lorenz, w. Va, which oc-
Cured about $50 this afternoon. Imme-
diately following the explosion the mine
caved in and nearly caused the entomb-
ment of all the miners, estimated at 100.
The bodies of twelve dead men have
been recovered, but it is not known at
this time whether any others met death.
The Americans who were killed are:
Charles Bozerman
William Bailey.
James Scott
Charles johnson.
Glenn Miles,
The bodies of seven Italians also have
been recovered but as they are known
only by numbers, their Identification is
not possible until later.
The explosion occurred just as the day
force was leaving the mine. Only few
of the men had reached the surface when
with terrific report the fire damp ex-
ploded. The mine elevator had just
started for the top carrying about twen-
ty men and almost eighty men are still
at the bottom of the shaft. Immedi-
ately there was panic among the men
still in the mine.
There was but one direction in which
they could run, and this was back into
the drift From this direction. how

enveloping them. Almost suffocated they

and the foreign miners, who were crazed
from fright. fought like demons to board
the car greatly retarding the work OF
rescue. The car was finally loaded and
run to the top.
With great precision and quickness ths
elevator continued to make trips until
all the men at the bottom of the shaft
were brought to the surface. On the
last two trips majority of the miners
were unconscious and had to be car

Results of Election.

The socialists have entered demands for
seventy-fve reballots. From these they
are not likely to elect nineteen members,
hence their strength in the new reich
stag probably will be below fifty. The
clericals have demanded about thirty re-
ballots, and have chances winning enough
seats to retain their full strength in the
new house.
The two conservative parties have de-
manded forty-one reballots, the national
liberals more than fifty, the radical
group forty-five and the anti-Semites,
agrarians, the Poles. Alsatans and others
total of thirty-two. The socialists
probably have increased their total vote
by from 10 to 10 per cent.
| The results of the reichstag election
have been officially declared in 36l dis
trcts out of total of 397.
The socialists lost seventeen seats and
gained one.
| The center party lost two and gained
one.
The two conservative parties lost three
and gained four.
The moderate radicals lost one and
gained three.
The national liberals lost six and gained
| ten.
The agrarians lost four and gained three.
In the 361 districts only 209 members
were elected, second ballots being neces-
sary in 152 districts.
/ The socialists, who had p out of the
% Saxon seats in the reichstag up 20
now have only been victorious in seven
districts.
