Three People Killed and Others Injured by an Explosion at Louisville, \ FIRE EXTENDING OVER FIVE ACRES. fhe Total Loss Will Reach About Four Hundred Thousand Dol- lars—A Distillery and Type Foundry Burned. Loutsvirre, Ky, June 80.—Five acres of fire was the awlul sight witnessed at the Btandard Oil refinery in this city this morn- Ing. The immense structure was blazing at every point and the heat was so intense that even 200 yards away many persons were over- come. Three persons were killed and thirty-five Injured. The fire broke out at 8:45 and was in many respects a remarkable one. Last Saturdey a ® tank of crude oil came inon aflat carand was to have been turned into the refinery vats but because it was thought the iron tank was 100 hot for it to be done with safety it was postponed. It became necessary {this morning to run the ofl outof the car tank into another in the yard. It was while this was being dono that” the explosion oceurred. Tn an instant there was a dull paff as the escaped, filling tho air around, Almost £ twinkling the. gas_ reached ono of the heds under whiclf was a fire. There was a flash and a tremendous exploston. The tank was blown to picces and hundreds of gallons of burning oil were scattered all over the great works, In less time than it takes to relate it the canning house, filled with thousands of gullons of oil, the cooper shops, carpenter shop and pump and engine rooms, the filling and lubricating houses, storage houses and other structures with 900 feet of platform were ablaze and burning flercely. ‘When the explosion took place work men who could do so started to run, Johnny Cline, however, stumbled and fell and his clothes caught fire, Be fore the flames could be extinguished he was frightfully burned. Three little boys, Danny O'Neil and Andrew and Johin Mc Donald were walking along the railroad track when the explosion oceurred, and the wind blew the bluze airectly down upon them, Shrieking with Ynln and with their clothing on fire they ran down the track. Bystanders rm‘suc(\ them, and covering them with coats hey soon extinguished the flames, but not before the boys were terribly burned. The buildings and stock so far burned will be a total loss. According to the statement of Vice Prosident Goodwin of tho Stand- ard Oil company, there i 3 * ance. He said it was almost imps ot to estimato the loss, as the fire i urning, but that from present appe the loss on all would be about $400,000. « (atalitics ar ++ Dan O'Neil, aged twely John Cline, aged twenty-three, John McDonald, A Type War house Burned.

Before Miss Wakely took the position at the little out-of-the-way station on Saturday she real- ized the dangers to which she would be ex- posed from tramps who follow the road from enst 10 west, so.she had not only armed her- self, but practiced until she became an ex- pert with the revolver. ly after mid- night, at an hour when there where only few trains, the young woman heard some one at the door, and a second later a villianous facoe appeared at the window. The fellow de- manded admittance and wus refused, where- upon he threw o lump of coal through the window and then made a dash for the open- ing. Just then Miss Wakely flashed her revolver and ordered the intrider to_re- treat. Hostopped to parley, saying, “You wouldn't shoot.”? The brave young woman took deliberate aim, but _the tramp _drew a knife. While Miss Wakely held at bay the desperado with her revolver in one hand, she used the other hand to call the next station, where a train was side v she caught the operator, whom she informe dilemma. The engine was detahed, and with the crew aboard ran to the handsome young women's rescue.

THE DEMOCRATS UP 1Y ARIS, | Every Means to Bs Used to Defeat the Federal Election Measure, ITS PASSAGE IN THE HOUSE CERTAIN. No Two Opinions Alike Eatertained by the Conferces on the Silver Bill-The Views of Chair- man Conger, WasnixaroN Bureau Tn 513 FOURTRENTIT STREET, WasiiNatox, D. C., June 80, If a vote had been taken in the house on the federal elections bill on Saturday it might have been defe 1. Thare can be very little ifany doubt that whea ths vote is tal next Wednesday afternoon it will receive a de- cided majority. Thore have been many changes of sentiment on the republican side during the past twenty-four houars. This afternoon the d: ats claim21 that there are twelve republicans who wouald not vota for the bill, while not a single democrat would support it. That would defeat the bill. The republicans listed by democrats as being in opposition to the measure are Lohl- bach of New Jersey, Coleman of Loulsana, Ewart and Cheatham of North Carolina, Waddell of Virginia, Hill of Illinois, Cheadle of Indiana, Wilson of Kentuclky, Frank and Niedringhaus of Missouri, & art of Ver- mont, and Simons of Connecticut. This list is tonight from being correct. It is probable that when the vote is taken there will not be mora than five republicans re- corded in the opposition. Mr. Waddell says he is heartily in favor of it, while Messrs. Cheatham, Frank and Niedvinghaus declare that they will support it. Messrs, Stewart, Simons and Cheadle take excoptions to fea- tures of the bill, bat say they will cast thewr votes in favor of it. Cheadle says he obje to muking the cortificates of the visors superior to the certificates of the governor and secrotary of state, the officers fixed by the constitution of the states to perform this duty, and who have general supervision of state elections, including those for congr He does not believe thata state officer should be held responsible for calling and conducting an election, and at the same time deprived of the authority for certi- fying theelections, He also objects to the provision in the bill which says that if @ bal- lot is cast in the wrong box iv may be counted if placed in a sealed envelope and sent to the supervisor, who may live in another county or even another state, He says the law of Indiana would invalidate such action and he thinks the federal government should not run to the contrary of laws provided under the primary features of the state constitution. But Mr. Cheadle will vote for the bill after Hghting as hard as he can to_get two or threo amendment. The same is the position of Mr. Stewart, Simons, Niedringl Frank and one or two others who have been classed by the democrats as among those who will vote against the bill, The prospects are that the bill will have a majority of from five to ten. If the majority drops as low as five it will 3 on account of the absence on republicans who are not ired or the fajlure of republicans to vote they neither want to 0ppose or en- Owmans Ber, % very spirited.

CARLISLE'S SUCCESSOR TAKES THE OATH, The Senate Passes the Agricultural Appropriation Bill and Also Discusses the Measure for Idaho's Admission. Wastyaroy, June 30, —In the house today Mr, Breckenridge of Kentucky presented tho credentials of W. W. Dickenson as repre- sentative-eloct to fill the vacancy sioned by tho resignation of Mr. Car Dickenson then took the oath of ofiice, The debato on the federal election bill was then resumed, Mr. Herbert of Idaho being accorded the floor. Mr. Herbert dwelt on the roconstruction laws and saia thav by them the negro had been taught to distrust the southern white man, The negro was now learning that it was not for his interest to array himself solidly against the whito man and the white man was _doing everything in his power to teach the nogro this lesson, If the south was aflowed to work out the prob- lem for itself the time would soon como when the negro, being educated as the white man was, would be able to take care of himself, both as a taxpayer and as a citizen, Mr. Houk of Tennessee said that his ad- vocagy of the national election law did not grow out of any supposed emergency or ne- cessity, notwithstanding there were a variety of reasons that the power of the government should be asserted. Strangers listening to the debate might think that the object of the measure was to arrest the whole democrat party. What harm would result from an honest eleetion? Had the democrats from the south practiced dishonest clections s long that it would break their hearts to h to stop them? He then proceaded to quote from the report made by Mr. Springer, from the committee on elections in the Forty ,in the contested election rainst Field, in_which he o that Mr. Springer laid down the exact p ciples 1nvolved in the pending bill, n that every state of the union should b conform to the law of the land. It was said the bill would revive race prejudice. It was not race prejudice the democrats were com- batting; it was political prejudice. The ob- jection was not that the colored man was black, but that he voted the republican ticket. Mr. Coleman of Louis announced him- self a republican both from conviction and principle, a southern man by birth, education and association. He opposed the enactment of a federal election law av this time. He would he a national _elect] bill if he thou actment would secn an honest ballot, but the supposi passage of such @ measure at this time wo have this effect was based on false 1mpres- ious and on ignorance of the true state of af- ivs in some portious of the south.

Thera are three political parties now fighting for supremacy in Chili— the republicans, the democrats and the social- ists.
