BL'FFERINO IX CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, July 27.—The list of the deaths ami prostrations from the heat 1 uesday was larger than those of Monday or Sunday, owing presumably to the protracted heat of the last few days rather than to the temperature of Tuesday, which was one degree cooler at the maximum than tho maximum of Monday. Seventeen died and sixty-eight were prostrated as a result ot the heat during the day. This was by no means a complete record of the prostration resulting from the terrible heat. There were, In the opinion of tho health authorities, probably three times as many people overcome by heat as were reported to the ofllce. In all cases where people could be got home without intervention of the police it was done, and this makes the list necessarily incomplete. The maximum height reached by tire signal service thermometer on Tuesday was 03 degrees.

CAUGHT AT LONG BRANCH. NEW YORK, July 28.—A journeyman baker named F. Mallich was arrested at 4:30 o'clock a. m. Tuesday at Long Branch, lie is charged with being a party to the attempted murder of Mr. Frick, and is supposed to be the person who sent a package of money to ltergmann, the would-be assassin, while he was at Allegheny City. Superintendent O'Mara, who heard of the arrest while with Inspector Kpeers at the central ofllce, left for Long Branch immediately.
An Arrest in Pittsburgh.
PiTTsnunoii, July 27.—11. Bnuer, another supposed accomplice of Bergmann, was arrested in Allegheny at noon Tuesday. He was looked up pending an investigation.
At the contral police station at noon the officials stated that they regarded the arrest of Bauer as the most important since the shootiug. He isa professional agitator, drawing his support from tho anarchist groups and devotes his time to the distribution of the revolutionary literature received from Chicago. He lives with a shoemaker at 73 Spring Garden street. Allegheny, whero he was captured. On Stluday he was seen entering KHold's house with a parcel. He has been partially identified ns the man who was with Bergmaun in the corridor of the Carnegie Company's building on Saturday just before the shooting, aud .who handed Bergmann a small package, just as he entered the elevator. This package is supposed to have been either the revolver or the cartridges afterward fouud in Bcrgmann's pocket.
Ho Makes Admission*.
Bauer showed no surprise when arrested and took the matter coolly. He admitted he was the agent here for the distribution of anaracliislic documents, and that he had sent the circulars to Homestead which were ordered confiscated by Gen. Snowden. He denied all knowledge of the attempt on Mr. Frick's life, and says he had never met or heard of Bergmann till last week, when lie met him at Ivnold's house. There were two meetings, he said, each one by accident, and Bergmann told him he was here to get work. Bauer told him it was a had time to hunt work on account of the Homestead trouble. He said he had not seen Bergmann since last Saturday.
Huttcr Given a Had ('hnract«*r. When searched at the station house a gold watch and chain, two keys, a subscription book for money received for tho anarchistic group of which Bauer is the leader and sixty-seven cents were also found on his person. At Bauer's home, however, the police unearthed a small-sized arsenal. They found a breech-loading rille, an American bull-dog revolver and a large quantity of cartridges, running in size from 22 to 44 caliber. Various incendiary papers were also found, together with a book on anarchy, recipes, etc. It Is believed that he destroyed all papers that might criminate him when Frick was shot.
Among Bauer's effects was a plan for the manufacture of a bomb and several cipher letters. A list of thirty millionaires was also found in adrawer. There is another nest of anarchists on the south sidfc and it is now under ]olicc surveillance.
Bauer is about 30 years of oge, very intelligent looking and much cleaner in appearance than the average anarchist. The Allegheny police say ho is one of the most violent anarchists in this section. They believe they have a good case against him.
Tapers for Molllck.
Upon the receipt of the news that Mollick had bccncapturedChicf Brown instructed Superintendent O'Mara to go to Long Branch and await papers which were forwarded Tuesday afternoon. Inspector McKelvey immediately made the necessary information before Judge Gripp, and a certified copy of It. together with the warrant for Mollick's arrest, were sent to Superintendent O'Mara at Long Branch. The Information is in the usual form, and charges that
F.
Mollick. of Long
Branch, was an accessory before and after the fact in the felonious shooting and stabbing of H. C. Frick on July 23. He will be brought here for trial.
Knold Still In Custody.
Casper Knold, tho anarchist arrested Monday night, is still at the Central station. No information has yet been made against him, and be will be detained in the station till his record and connection with Bergmann are moro fully investigated.
Mr. Frick's Condition.
II. C. Frick continues to improve, and the physicians say if nothing unforeseen happens ho will be out of danger in a few days. He is still conducting the affairs at Homestead from his home.
Coroner McDowell resumed the inquest on the victims of the IlomeBtead riot Tuesday afternoon and after a number of witnesses had been examined the inquest adjourned until next Tuesday. Two of the witnesses, Capt. Coon and Charles W. Mansfield, testified that the first shot was fired by the Pinkertons.

DISA8Tr.lt IN ST. I.OUI8.
ST. LOUIS, July 27.—The most terrific explosion in the history of St. Louis occurred at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Seven people are said to have been killed, a half dozen are believed to be dying and scureswere badly hurt. Mill creek sewer, the biggest in the city, 12 feet high at the keystone and 15 feet wide, blew up for almost one-half of a mile, extending from under the WatersTierce oil plant to the river. A vast yawning chasm 20 feet deep and equally wide was opened as by an earthquake from Twelfth street to the river, tumbling down houses, stores and sheds, cngulllix? a portion of the cars and railroad tracks in the Union depot yards, under which the sewer ran, and sweeping to death iu its noisome depths half a dozen or more unfortunate humans.
Cause of the ll»u*t*r.'-
The cause of the explosion was a spontaneous combustion of gas, formed from the oil and gasoline that ran into the sewer at the time of the WatersPierce oil works fire, when several tanks were blown up and their contcut9 ran into the sewer through the drainage pipes in tho oil works yards. The high stage of the river had made it impossible for the sewer to carry off this surplus, and the theory is that I sparks from some passing enging dropping into the sewer through air-holes ignited the oil. Three reports like, the sounds of caunonuade and a shock ns of an earthquake were the first intimation the city had of the catastrophe. Immediately following the reports the earth opened In a cliasm for twelve blocks, and out of the opening poured the stifling fumes of the gas.
A llullding IlemollKhcd.
At No. 1014 South Fourth street the wholesale liquor house of Carl Fuchs, a three-story brick structure, was lifted bodily into the air and tumbled back into the sewer a mass of debris. This was the work of the rirst of the three explosions. lowed the second a freight train in 500 feet of track golfed. The force of the explosion was terrific. Mill creek sewer is built of arched stone IS inches thick and these were hurled 100 feet into the air, and for two blocks to either side for 40 feet from both sides of the sewer the earth was seamed with rents and buildings half a block away were cracked.
Instantly and third the yard were next
Only One KscuiM'd.
Standing nt the bar of Fuohs1 liquor house at the time of the explosion were four or six men besides the bartender, Charles Miller, and proprietor, Carl Kucha. They were all lifted up and hurled back, only to fall into the sewer, its steam of filth carrying them swiftly away. Of these men only one escaped alire. lie was carried two blocks to Second street, where he was rescued through an openiug the explosion had blown In the pavement, lie was almost suiTocated and insensi ble. Upstairs over the liquor house lived the family of Joseph Tempt? Mrs. Tetnpe and two children were seated on the rear porch and were hurled f0 feot away into an alley. Mrs. Tempe received Injuries from which she died at 11 o'clock, the children escaping with bruises. Mr. Tempo escaped unhurt.
Tlic Victim*,
The police say that seven persons were killed, but only three are known: They are Carl Kuclis, Charles Miller and Mrs. John Tempt1. The injured are: T. Kinnegan and I). Huron, both firemen who were overcome by gas R. J. Tuenstall, injured by flying debris: an unknown man, who had both legs broken.
No flodles round.
None of the bodies have yet been recovered. although the whole fire department and salvage corps force are at work. The bodies of the victims were either swept into the river or else lie buriod under the wreck of the Kuchh building. No accurate idea of the losses can be given, but it will exceed $100,000 without including the reconstruction of the sewer. It is said tliut a number of railroad men are beneath the wreck of freight cars which were being shunted at the time of the ex* plosion.
