An explosion has occurred in tho Vul-

live miners are reported to have been

and in an instant the girl was envel-

humanity, filling the windows, tho

about until people helped her to her

building.
# It is supposed that three men par-
ticipated in the robbery. They ef-
fected an entrance through the rear
door of tho building. Several holes
were drilled in the vault door, and
when the dynamite blown into the
holes exploded the door was forced
from its liing* and left tho vault a
mass of debris. The money drawer
containing $; 00 was easily accessible.
Several papers are missing, but are
not thought to have been taken away.

New Typographical In I on.
< iiicago, Feb. 19.—Quite a number
of the members of the German Typo-
graphical Union of this city, have left
that organization and formed a new
union, incorporating under the name
of Typograpical Uuion No. 1, and
joining the Knights of Labor. They
have issued a circular, justifying their
action, saying the old union is con-
trolled by "reds," that strikes were
declared without reason, and money
intended for sick and unemployed
members was partially "sunk" in
decorating the graves of the executed
anarchists.
has been before Congress so often.
Speaking of the political outlook for
l8-'0, Senator Baker said, of course,
that the Republicans would elect pres-
ident uud vice president The silver
men do not believe this, but Mr. Baker
thinks they are inspired more by en-
thusiasm than by couviction. Senator
lillman's speech was a bid for the
presidential nomination on the silver
ticket, and Senator Baker believes
that lie will be tho nominee.
Senator Baker looks for tho demo-
cratic party to disappear this year.
The Chicago convention, he thinks,
will split on the silver question, and
the silvcrites will go to St. Louis and
there unite with tho Populists and sil-
verites in the nomination of a candi-
date for the presidency who will stand
on a platform of Populism, silverism,
Dehsisin and all of the other isina
which just now aitlict the country.
The sound money Democrats, Senator
I Baker thinks, will vote with the Ke-
i publicans, although possibly some of
the more orthodox ones will put up a
ticket and vote for it, as was done in

8:30 this morning "ready for work,
there was apprehension that a mob
was to be gathered to lynch Students
Jackson and Walling when they were
taken from the jail to tho police court.
A crowd did assemble, but a relav of
police was there and no concentration
was permitted. Then it was learned
that the prisoners had been removed
to tiie city hall two hours before tho
time when it was supposed they would
leave tlicjaiU.
When .Tifckson and Walling appeared
in the police court the ei ridors lead- |
ing to the room w re densely
thronged. Ample guards were about, '
so that no one got into tie court room
who did not have a right to bo there.
When the eases were called, the pris-
oners appeared promptly from the ceil
room below, with no change in their
bearing. They were required to re-
main not more than half n minute for

Just below her, in another window, '
hung a woman turning appealing
glances to the crowd. The black
smoke was pouring from the window,
L but as yet no flames were visible, and
tho crowd yelled encouragingly to her
to hold on; but a high red llaine
reached out just tlie.n and licked her
face, and in an instant her body was
rebounding from the pavement. She
was Mrs. Foley, a widow, anu when
picked up was dead.
On the same floor, hanging from an-
other window, was another woman,
and salvation in the shape of a ladder
was almost within her grasp, when
her strength failed, and s.lie went
twirling down to death. She was Mrs.
Kane.
The firemen and police worked like
heroes, and to their energy was due a
?reat saving of life. At least a dozen
women and girls were carried down
the ladders or dragged out of tho cor-
ridors, the officers and firemen going
into the midst of the smoke and
dames.
The fire burned so fiercely by this
time that no detailed search of the
building could be made, and from
what can be learned there were many
girls and women on the three upper
stories, either lying in fainting fits or
overcome by smoke It was this fact
that led to rumors that there were at Ju(.
least twenty women dead, and the j frosh,
