The dead list Is estimated at 75. The entire Orover factory was reduced to ashes within an hour after the explosion; the threo story block across the street owned by Charles H. Dahlborg and 1 Ave other small structures damaged. When the boiler exploded it passed upward almost perpendicularly, tear ing a passage as It went, killing many on the way. After rising high In the air- it desended half the distance and then swerving northerly, cut Its way like some hugh projectile through dwelling house fifty feet away and pierced another dwelling further along. Scenes of horror followed the wrench ing apart of the factory building.

Men and women working in departments of this section, who were busy at their machines, bad time but to turn in an attempt to flee after the first dull roar when the flooring sank beneath them and they were carried to the round floor, crushed and bruised amid the mass of debris. Many fell into a veritable fiery furnace. In the sections of the factory which re mained atandlng the operatives were panlc-atrlcken as they sought escape. Many fled down the stairways and reached the street, others ran to the windows,, the fire escape In many eases having been torn away by the explosion.

Soon the entire story was In flames. Instant death was the fate of many who went down with the floors that collapsed. A large number of men and women who were working near the supports wore alive after the floors and walls fell. From these unfortu nate's, the cries of agony and terror went up. Almost all had been caught between broken timbers, lighter wood en wreckage and heavy pieces of machinery. A few persons succeeded In extricating themselves; from the wreckage, but more were roasted to death. Hy this time near by citizens had arrived to assist the employes who es caped, In the rescue of their fellows. This task became momentarily more difficult and perilous for the heat from the lire was almost unbearable, By the use of long pieces of timber the rescuers were able to raise parte of wreckage and thereby secure the re- of the imprisoned men and women and then by rushing Into the smoke pull them from the ruins.

Dauer, republi can, of St. Louis, was the lone Nled rlnghaua voter on the last ballot. There was several interesting fea tures about the balloting on the sen- atorshlp. One, and among the most notable, was the time taken In the roll cull, which occupied a greater number of minutes in each Instance than was consumed in the entire session on many previous days. Several of the members explained their vote, or gave reasons for the choice they had made, but the most startling of these was the declaration of Mr. Orace, of St. Louis. Mr. Grace is the author of the resolution which stirred up the trouble for Mr. Nledring haus, resulting In the defeat of the lat ter, though he was the caucus nominee, with the republicans having a major ity of ten on Joint ballot Mr. Orace said: "I have something in my system which I wish to expel" At this Juncture some one yelled: "Let her go Gallagher." Then Mr. Grace re sumed: "I have concluded that we must have a senator. I will cast my vote, and as I cast I will cast It till hell freezes over and then skat back on the ice.

Kerens toward the speaker's stand It created a commotion which threw everything into wild confusion.

While he waa still standing besld President Mo- Klnley, wbo was presiding, and be fore he had been given a chance to say a word. If indeed, he desired then to say anything, Senator McDavld mounted a chair, moved the assembly dissolved, and asked a roll call on the motion. The motion to dissolve was lost. Then Col. Kerens waa given recog nition, and, aa he arose, he was given an ovation which could be Interpreted is meaning he had a desire to promote the chances of electing a republican senator by a withdrawal from the contest It was a shrewd move on the part of the man who had so often been charged with being solely responsible for the failure to elect -When a measure of quiet waa restored. Col. Kerens said: "Mr. President, and Oentlemen of the Assembly: Gallantry requires me, before I proceed, to ac knowledge the presence of the ladles. I do not think it necessary for me to say I am a Republican. This is a re publican assembly. Its dutv la to elect senator, and Ufkf senator; let m say, must be a republican. If MaJ.
