Young Fred Kunze, who was with his father in the jewelry store immediate!}' next to the John York ruin, was the first to he taken out uiid the least injured. Ilis escape, hov.*ever, was the purest accident. He had gone to bed and was asleep when the crash of bricks and broken roof threw him out upon the floor and over against the wall. A door that was broken from its hinges slid down over him and caught one end on something just above hirn, while the other end rested on the lloor. Though he was closely imprisoned under the door he was slaved from tlie piles of brick and mortar that crashed through the house from the broken wall. Young Knnze was taken, out a short time after the accident and sent to the county hospital, where it was found that his injuries were slight— nothing, in fact, but a few bruises on the legs and body. He was not obliged to go to bed and asked to bo allowed to return to the wreck.

Mrs. Schmidt's Injuries.

Mrs. Schmidt was far less fortunate. She was found still alive under a pile of broken timbers in the basement of the building, on the first floor of which her husband kept'a saloon and oil the second floor of which the family lived. The saloon had been the night au hour disaster and Mr. retired. Mrs. Schmidt bed, too, but she must have been in the kitchcn at the time of the accident, as she slept iu the middle of the house. When taken to the county hospital her right arm was found to be broken in three places and her head terribly bruised, ller body ami limbs were also bruised and it is doubtful if she can recover.

Ttie first body removed was Unit of tH! bartender, (Jeor^e Mesterle. It was foil lid under a muss of loose debris near Urn front of the Schmidt house. A pile of brick had struck him on the liead mid had killed him insVuntly. After two hours' more work the firemen camc imon the body of Lizzie Schmidt, which was carried to Charles I'feiiYor's placo across tho street. Another hour passed before the firemen had pushed their way far cnoiiirli i.ito the v. iccka^o to uncover any more bodies. The first siplit was that of a white arm and hand raised above a huge mass of wood and brick. When at last the. body was uncovered it was found to bo that of the servant jfirl, Pauline Mortin:i. in tho Schmidt household. A wide jfash over the forehead indicated how death had come.

About noon the bodies of John Schmidt and his little child I'.attio were found close to the sout wall of the building. I$y some mysterious action of the wreckage the bodies had been forced directly against the wall. The child was cuddled close, to her fattier, as if she hud been frightened in her sleep and had turned for protection. lioUi bodies were covered with ruins and the flesh was somewhat burned. It was impossible to tell whether death had tome instantaneously or they hud lived Ion# enough to realize what their fate was to be.

John Kunze's body and that of his wife were the last to be removed from the tangled pile of brick, mortar and splintered timbers. They wore found at 2 p. in. The bed in which they were sleeping on the first floor of No. T'i.'i was turned over on its way to the basement and the bodies were covered with the. mattress and bedstead. ]5oth Mr. and Mrs. Kiinze had been killed by Hying bricks and timbers.

As the vanquished statesmen filed into the hall they were received with respectful silence.

They prepared a protest, which was signed by the fifty-four members, which they had placed in the senate journal, fearing, as ex-Speaker Dunsmore snid. to trust it to the house. Work lias been commenced upon needed legislation, but, according to the understanding had with populist senators, nothing will be permitted to pass except tho appropriation bill, including the CoImnbian exhibit bill. The senate and the Dunsmore house hastily passed all party measures, which are now things of tiie past, and they will uot consent to have anything else done except to appropriate money to continue the state government and the state institutions.
