O., Jan. '25.—-The con
vention to organize a non-partisan temperance union met again in Music Hall Friday morning. The ladies decided that "National Crusaders" wan not a good title and changed the name to to "Non Partisan Women's Christian Temperance Union." Presidentelect Phinnoy notified the convention of hor acceptance of the oftiee. Further officers were elected as follows: General Secretary, Miss F. Jennie Duty, oi Cleveland Recording Secretary, Mrs. Florence Miller, of Iowa: Financial Secretary, Miss Shortloage, of Pennsylvania: Treasurer, Mrs. C. Cornelia Alford, of Brooklyn.
It was decided to pay the president and general secretary salaries of $1,200 each. About£2,500 were raised at tho afternoon session to help maintain the expenses of tho now organization. The question of the place for holding* the next annual meeting was referred to tho executive committee. Mrs. M. C. Uiokraan, of Ohio, Mrs. General Dural, of West Virginia, and Mrs. Anna M. Edwards, of Ohio, wore made National organizers. After adopting the report of tho committee on resolutions the convention adjourned sine die. The resolutions are as follows: "Woman's Christian tcmporance work in this country has been a providential agency for the abolition of the drinking usages of societies and tho final extinction of tho liquor tr&mc. It appealed to tho hearts of American womanhood and was justllled by its pledged protection to
American homos. No movement oft he century promised more for Chrlstiau civilization. For ten years this organized work justified the hope and fulfilled the promises. Since that time dazzling political theories, mistaken ideas of individual and organization rights, through misguided zeal and oonsoiousness of power, have brought the confusion of partisan ujllance and the dlflu ters of party limitations. Defects in organiza tion work—the result of the same conditions wtoich produced tho party alliance—have brought other complications. "Wo fully and froely recognize the right of every member of this organization to their own individual and religious political opinions and preferences and their exercise according to the dictates of individual conscience, and declare that no majority in such organization should ever in any manner intorfere with thesn indi vidual rights, "We gladly recognize tho fact that the non partisan principles of Christian temperance work are rapidly gaining adherents throughout the Nation. We want all the strength of a united Christian woraanhiod to bo brought against the combined power of the liquor traffic. "We cordially invite the aid of all States and local organizations under our broad banner of political freedom, where every woman—whatever her party preferences or individual party work—may unite with us in efforts against the common enemy of the home, the State and the Nation. "We recognize, believe in and are individually related to many moral and political reforms of the ago which are the outgrowth of the Gospel of Christ. These reform-* are directly, indirectly or remotely related to the temperance reform, and their success will hasten the triumph of the principles to which we are devoted. Nevertheless we believe that our work hi this National otKanUation will be more effective if wholly free from any alliance with those movements upon which our mem* bers widely differ in opinion. "We declare the fundamental importance and greatest need of the temperance reform to be the broader education of the Individual mind and conscience in the religious, scientific and economic truths relating to the effects of alcohol, in order to secure the ultimate triumphs of this reform in the overthrow of the drinking habits and customs of the country and the legal pro tection of the home njd redemption from th ravages of the liquor trufllc. "Wo urge the careful preparation of non partisan literature and the prompt distributioc of the same."

Dr. Tal-
mage, of Brooklyn, took luncheon and spent tha afternoon with (iladstono at Ilnwarden Castle. I)r. Talinace was cordially received by the ex-l'remler and the two gentlemen had a long talk on religious and political questions. Mr. Gladstone said: "Talk nbbut iiuestlons of the day. There is but one ^u&ttoa and that Is the Gospel. Itcan aad will correct every thing needing correction. A11 men at the head oi great movements are Christian men. During the many years I was In the Cabl&el I was brought Into association with sixty master minds, and all but live of them were Christians. My only hope for tho world is In bringing the human mind Into oouWet with Divine revelation."
Then placing his hand on Dr. Talmage's shouldeF Mr. Gladstono warmly eulogized the doctor's Christian zeal and expressed his great gratification at tho marvelous publicity given to his sermons, which aro now distributed in all .lands and read in all languages.
Dr. Talmage asked Mr. Gladstone if the cause of Irish home rule would be victorious. Gladstone brightened up and responded emphatically: "Yes, when the next election conies." Ho continued: "It seems to bo a dispensation of God that I should bo engaged in haltle. At my time of life I should be resting. I never had any option in these matters. I dislike content, but when Ireland, onco the refuge of persecuted English men. showed herself reudy to adopt a righteous constitution and do her full duty, I hesitated not a moment to espouse her cause."

An old man, venerable, with white hair and beard, was dug from the ruins and hurried to a place where medical assistance could be given him. IRs beard was covered with blood and ho seemed to he dying. Hut saddost ot all. a tearless mother, with hor heart frozen by fear and grief, staggered from the ruins holding tight to her heart tho seemingly lifeless form of her 3-months-old babe.
Six lives were lost and thirty people wore injured. Five dead bodies wero taken from the ruins, two of them those of an unknown man and an unknown babe. The infant child of Charles Horry was dashed from its mother's arms by the force of the explosion and almost immediately was run over and killed by a firedepartment team which was running from the building. The names of tho identified dead are: Charles lioch, a barber Frank Seymour, a colorod boy Mrs. P. Merrotte, her body was taken from tho cellar liorry, an infant Two others aro dead, but havo not yet been identified. Tho wounded aro:
Dr. T. K. Wlsslnger, William llrady, William Neil, William Jumes. Mrs. William .fumes, Btankiuger. Tiieo. Shouting, Olllcer Lynsky, Charles Lleltllghtnr, Gambler, William Riloy. Hell Smith, Kitner Gates, Mrs. Coru, Ed Keetner, Klmcr Grach. Charles I.owery, IVeutlnmler, lVt Merrolte, Thomas Doyle, Flora Bowers, Kmina Bowers, Aiirori Bevn, Beujamln Morgan, Shawnee. Marshall Klll)ourne, Herry, Wolf, l'eter Merrotte.
It is thought that Pet Merrotte will die. The injured have been taken enner to tho hospitals or their homes. Many of them were injured by a team running away with a truck and knocking people in every direction.
The explosion, as near ascan be ascertained, resulted from an accumulation of natural gas in the cellar of tho houso oocupied by Michael I lowers and Mr. Merrotto. No natural-gas pipos were ever put into that house, but there was a natural-gas main in Noble alley which loakod. Tho ground was frozen and tho gas, sooking its way out, went by the easiest way and of course entered Ihe sellar. It has no scent and its prosonco could not bo detected. It saturated the buildings. The force of tho explosion in the Merrotte and I'owers house took a westerly and northerly direction and scattered bricks and lumber and lathing for a distance of twenty feet. Tho side of tho Merrotte house was blown out, and tho roof, freed of its support, fell over and lay hanging from the top of tho house to tho yard below.
The exploding vapor after doing its terrible work on the south side of Noble alley leaped over to tho north sido of the alloy and completely destroyed tho house at 34 West Noble, oocupied by E1 ward Otstot and Mr. James. This houso is similarly constructed with tho ono opposite. being a ono-aad-one-half-story brick with three rooms down and two up-stairs. Here tho terrible force of tho avnlnded tras was shown.

p. m. Friday an alarm ot
lire from tho corner of High and Main streets called tho lire department outAn explosion of natural gas occurred in a one-story dwelling at tho southwest corner of Wall and Noble alleys, at tho middle of tho square bounded by High and Front and Main and Mound streets. Patrol No. 1 was on the scene, but no rope was stretched and tho people crowded by hundreds into the narrow alley and pushed up close to the house 'from which the cries of injured people within could be plainly hoard— moans and shrieks mingled with the hoarse calls of the firemen, tho clanging of the alarm bells on the engines and tho murmuring of tho crowd. A whisper ran through the throng that natural-gas main ran east and west through Noble alley, but this was soon changed into a rumor that tho blaze was duo to a gasoline explosion in tho house and the people did not lieod tho warning.
Tlio fire was almost ur li-r control. The people wero standing around laugh* ing and talking. Thealley wascrowaed with lookors-on, many of whom were turning to go home. At that moment a terrific explosion rent the Ur. A shoot of flame burst from the building at the north west corner of Noble and Wall alloys. A great mass of bricks, hoanu and stono that thirty seconds before had boon a two slory brick building flow with terrible force through tho air.
The scene that followed was terrible. The people lied shrieking in all directions. The alley was instantly covered with a mass of debris from which the moans of buried men came. Pallid, trembling women tottered and ran across tho alloy and streets moaning orshrioking. Men with foreheads and shoulders dabbled with blood staggered from among the debris. A woman onvolopod In a sheet of flame, bareheaded and frenzied, ran shrieking from tho houso across the alley. A man dashed off his overcoat and ran to throw it around hor. A fireman who held tho nozzle of a hose saw her danger and turned tho stream on hor. It knocked her down but saved her life. Sho was lifted from the ground and hurried into a neighboring house. Every inch of clothing had been burned from her down to her waist. Her name wa Pet Merrotte.
