The Detroit JVwrnal was located at
ShelUy and Lamed streets, occupying
for its main office a seventy-foot front
on Larned street. Next east of its
building and In Tort of the same block
were 'two twvty-ifoot irr.unt which
cortltU'fi .no scene of the disaster.
On of there. No. 45, was wholly occu
pied by John Davis & Co., salaratus
manuPicturers, and dealers In grocers'
supplies, 'While In the basement of the
other were two boilers Which exploded.
Just above the boiler room, on tho
fir ft floor was the Journal's mailing
room. The second floor was occupied
by 'the Ko'hlbrand Engraving company
and W. W. Dunlap' agency for Rog
ers' Typcrrrap-h supplies. On t'he third
and fourl'.h floevrs were J. George Mill
er's 'book tIndcry, and the top floor
was the Journal's stereotyping room.
There were three stereotyper at work
cci t'he Journal's floor, about thirty
girls in the book bindery, besides the
proprietor, a 'machinist and several
others In the typograph supply shop,
several engravers and assistants In the
Kohlbrand company's room and a force
of clerks on the ground floor, the mail
ing rccm.
There -were six persons In the Davis
building. In 'the basement were the
engineer and several press men.
Intimation of Trouble.
The first intimation the neighborhood
got of the disaster was from the tre
mendous report followed by a blinding
cloud of debris, smoke and steam, and
before this had cleared away the whole
five floors and the people working upon
them were In one mass of wreckage.
The force of the explosion had thrown
down the wall between numbers 45 and
47 Larned street and the Joists which
rested on it came tumbling down, tear
ing themselves away from the adjon
Ing wall. A heavy fire wall separated
this building from the main building of
the Journal company. The weight
of this was sufficient to withstand the
shock of the explosion and although
several holes were blown through It the
wall remained strong. Firemen were
there In a minute from the next corner.
The whole down town division of
the department followed by volunteers
from the crowd that collected started to
dig Into the ruins.
. Harrowing Spectacle.
Near tflie top Annie O'Donoghue was
found, 1ierrhead ma of bloody flesh,
f ibm wtrlch fa-Int cries for a priest were
emitted constantly. She was carried
to t'he hospital. Then came the har
rowing spectacle of the awful calamity
as the wounded and dead were searched
for. Thousand of people were gath
ered, and the police wore on hand In
large, nwmbar. As the workers dug
Into the debris and the air got Into
It, the furnase fires' set the debris from
the bindery ablate, and . the rescuers
were driven back by smoke, through
w.hloh, treat Mm to 'time came muffled
crle for Jjtlp. The firemen worked on
heroically, and streams turned on the
blase con 'checked the fire so that a
gang of 200 laborers, who had been
collected on a building across the street,
could get Into the debris and pull it Into
the itreet.' ' "
The work progied as rapidly as
possible, and the Injured and dead were
removed on by oat from the ruins.
Several times when living people were
discovered In the debris the firemen
and laborers were driven back by the
flames, and the unfortunates were
teamed alive, with 'help In sight.

WILL PROTECT WOOL
Senator Sherman Says That Kepublleans
Will Help the President to Provide Rem
edics for Existing Financial Evils.
Washington, D. C Nov. 6. Senator
Sherman reached Washington this af
ternoon, coming direct from his home
In Mansfield. iWhen seen by a United
Press reporter Mils evening the sena
tor tald that no Republican could help
but feel vrey good over the result of
yesterday's election.
"Mr. Foraker will be the next sen
ator from Ohio, to succeed Mr. Brice,"
said Mr. Sherman. "I am fully con
vinced that the action of the Demo
cratic congress In putting wool on the
free list was the cause of a great part
of the deieotionln their own party; free
wool, no doubt, lost that party 20,000
votes In our state, to cay nothing of
the other questions that were brought
home to the voters. The tremendous
majority of yesterday only adds to the
endorsement of the state convention of
the candidacy of oQvernor McKlnley
for the presidency. I do not care to
discuss the result in other states fur
ther than to say that, as a Republican,
I amh gratified at the success of the
Republican ticket. It means acceslon
to our stren3'Mi In the senate, and good
government In the states that have
overturned Democracy and placed the
Republican party Jn power.
When asked what the next congress
would do fav the matter of providing
revenue for the necessities of the gov
ernment, Mr. Sherman said that it
WMi'ii Mo that ithlng which seemed
proper under the circumstances.
"Of course," he continued, "the
President cannot expect the Republi
cans to do Just what he would like or
to cordially accept whatever he may
suggest. But we will provide the rem
edy for existing evil. It will be along
Republican lines and If the president
sees fit not to accept it, the responsi
bility will rest with Im. not with us.
One thing can be counted upon as a
reasonable certainty. Yve will restore
the duty on wool and probably revise
omer scneuutes so as to meet the con
ditions fuclng us. What will be done
Is a matter of detail that must be
worked out. I do not nretond to know
We will come to the subject In a spirit
of patriotism and dispose of it as will
best subserve the Interest of the whole
country."
Senator Quay reached Washington
this afternoon and left to-night for
Florida, where he will remain until
Thanksgiving In tho hopes of getting;
rm oi a. violent coin mat nas taken pos
session of him. He was In an amiable
frame of mind, but did not care to dls
cubs the election In detail. "I am
highly pleased, as any Republican
might well be," said he. "The victory
Is one of the greatest In years. Penn
sylvania did exceedingly well and
rolled up a majority of which we feel
proud. I congratulate my fellow Re
publicans in the other states, who have
won so brilliantly.".

Stroudsburg. Pa.. Nov. 8. The de
termination shown by two constables
yesterday saved Monroe county me uls
grace of anotihct 4ynohlng and pre
served tne lite oi a tramp irom tne
r.unds of a crowd of tnrurlated farmers.
who sought to eecute summary lus
tice upon him for attempting to as
sault a woman. The scoundrel that
tho mob wished to 'lynch Is named
Keesc Jenkins. He called at the farm
house of William Miller, In Jackson
township, and Mrs. Miller gave him
his dinner. When Jenkins finished the
meal he asked Mrs. Miller for thread
and needle to sew on a button with.
As the woman turned to procure the
articles Jenkins sprung upon her. Mrs.
Miller had her young child In her arms
and Jenkins tore the baby from her
grapp and threw dt upon the floor. His
purpose was evident, and Mrs. Miller
began a desperate struggle for her
Honor. Her clothing was almost torn
from her todv, and she was rapidly
becoming1 exhausted, but she still
fought desperately. Becoming tnfur
totecr at her resistance, Jenkins
grabbed up a knife and threatened to
km iher. InoteJId of terrifying Mrs.
Miller Into submission the threat gave
her renewed strength anil she struggled
wJUi the scoundrel more furiously than
ever, and continued to scream for help.
Jenkins became alarmed and fled.
Armed Men in Pursuit.
As soon as Mrs. Miller had sufficiently
recovered she gave the alarm and a
body of armed men started on the
tramp's trail, vowing to lynch him if
they caught him. Jenkins avoided the
pursuit of the lynchers but fell into the
hands of Constable Kresge. Fearing a
lynching, Kresge got the help of an
other constable to bring Jenkins to jail
here. The constables and their pris
oner were In a buggy about starting for
the jail when a crowd of fifty men
came upon them. A rope told better
than words the crowd s Intention.
Jenkins realized his danger and lay
ing down in the bottom of the buggy
begged the constables In anguish of
fear to save his life. The constables
drew their revolvers, but the lynchers
were not to be frightened and they
made a rush for th buggy. The whip
was applied and the startled horse
sprung forward, and plunging through
the crowd, quickly bore the occupants
of the vehicle out of pursuit.
As an evidence of their Intentions
the mob fired after the buggy and one
bullet went through Jenkins' hat with
in an inch of his head. Jenkins was safely
lodged In Jail, where he was identified
by Mrs. Miller and admitted his guilt.
He says he comes from I'ittston.

BUCKS AND LACKAWANNA.
They Are Now Leaders in tba Race for
Superior Court Judgsblp.
Special to the Soranton Tribune.
Philadelphia, Nov. 6. The only un
certainty concerning the results of
yesterday's elections seems to be upon
the election of the Democratic members
of the Superior bench. The manner In
which the votes was cast makes It very
difficult to give correct estlmajtes up
on the result. It Is apparent, however,
that the contest Is now between Judge
P. P. Smith, of Lackawanna, and Har
man Yerkes, of Bucks county. Tho
other candidates in the race have been
left behind.
Later and more complete returns
have added materially to the earlier
returns in the vote for Smith (Demo
crat) for Superior court Judge, particu
larly In the anthracite coal counties,
where Smith gets a remarkably large
vote over that of the other Democratic
candidates for Superior court Judge.
These later returns now leave it doubt
ful whether Yerkes or Smith will be
the minority representative on the
Superior court bench, with the pros
pect that the returns from the missing
counties will show that Smith has the
larger vote of the two. The other
Democratic candidates run consider
ably behind Yerkes and Smith.
Philadelphia, Nov. 6. The full and
complete vote of 46 counties (Including
Philadelphia and Allegheny) for the
six Democratic candidates for Superior
court Judges shows the following
totals: Smith, 202.134; Yerkes, 199.4&5;
Mugee. 1D6.280; Bechtel, 193,081; Noyes,
193,683; Moorehead. 191,547.
Smith's majority over Yerkes with
21 counties missing is thuB shown to be
2,649. The complete vote of Luzerne
county for all the Judges Is not obtain
able, but Smith In that county has 13,
050 and Yerkes 12,0ii6. This will In
crease Smith's apparent majority over
Yerkes to 3,643.
