As the horses turned into the home stretch there was a slight forward movement of those on the balcony, and several people from the grand stand stepped over the railing onto tbe reporters' platform. There was a slight warning crack, a sinking of the forward part of the gallery, and then the final crash, accompanied by the fail.

The iron railings and supporting brackets SWAPPED TJKE PIPE CI AT. Mr. McOuilagh, being farthest front, was first to strike the ground, Moore and Magner falling on him. The veteran Lew Clark went down handicapped by a hundred-and-eighty-pound reporter, who fell astride of him. Lew said he was gratified that the fellow didn't try to spur him.

Capt. Bellairs was wedged between the fallen platform and the iron railing that doubled back upon him like the blade of a Jack-knife. The chairs and tables were broken into kindling wood. The wreck had scarcely struck the ground when those who could extricate themselves from the debris were on their feet and shouting the winner as Miss Woodford passed under the string. The race over, the more fortunate ones and the bystanders began to look to the wounded.

R. L. Carey was badly bruised in the ankle and in the ribs of the leftside. He became unconscious and was taken to the House of Public Comfort, from which he was subsequently removed to the Laclede Hotel. He was doing comfortably this morning and hopes to be able to attend, the races to-day.

Romeyn Dyer was so badly shocked that he was taken to his home, 2011 Chestnut street, where he died at 10.40 o'clock last night. Major Osborne was carried to the Club House In a faint.

X.C Burke was bruised about his face and side. John Fay, of the Republican, had his leg and arm cut and his clothes badly torn. At the time of the accident attention was fortunately so concentrated upon the finish of the race that no commotion was caused in the grand stand and among the masses of people, except immediately behind the scene of the trouble, where a few ladies fainted. Col. Lew Clark had the front case of his timing watch broken off.

During the Eclipse race yesterday and Just as the horses were turning Into the home stretch the press stand, a frail gallery built out from the grand stand, gave way and fell to the ground, a distance of about twelve feet. There were forty people on the balcony at tho time. Of this number Romeyn A. Dyer received injuries that resulted in his death late In the evening and several others were more or less seriously hurt, ihp majority, however, escaped with slight bruites. Under the gal lery were a aozen people stanalng upon benches and watching tho race over tbe heads of those on the lawn in front.

Along the front of the stand at the time of its falling were the reporters' tables, at which were seated J. B. McCullagh, editor of the Globe-Democrat, and Tom Gallagher, the racing reporter of the iseuatrs, ic. M. out ana Koineyn ver of the Republican.

Alexander Sullivan on the Defeat of the Home-Kale Hill.

Chicago, June 8. Mr. Alexander Sullivan. ex-President of the Irish Xational League, referring' to. the defeat of the home-rule measure, says: "The friends of home rule will not be discouraged by this defeat.

I have never bad much faith in the success of the bill in the present Parliament. I regard a defeat of the second reading and early submission of the question to the people as a greater advantage than a successful vote on the second reading with a long period of inactivity following that vote, would have been. The present situation compels an active campaign and a thorough discussion throughout England, Ireland and toot land. The more it ia discussed the stronger it will become. It is one of the great progressive questions which will be discussed.

Some things are settled by the progress already miMie. First, we have the confession of an English Prime Minister that Ireland was brutally misgoverned that misirovernment of that character has utterly tailed: that Kngland stands before the world confessedly disgraced until her method of misgoverning Ireland has been changed. Second, the offer embodied in Gladstone's bill fixes the minimum Of self-government for Ireland. She can never bo offered less than Gladstone hna offered her. Whenever England finds herself embarrassed by foreign complications she must conciliate Ireland.

That conciliation can never be attemptud with au offer ot anything less than Gladstone hus asked England to concede. The Irish In America will still by the Irish In Ireland In the continuance of this strangle. They want It settled peacefully. If England will not consent to a peaceful settlement, then upon her must be the responsibility for such other methods as may be resorted to. Peaeelnlly or otherwise, the Irish race, the world ver, will prosecute this war until It Is won.

1 Have hope, I had almost said faith, however, that an appeal to the people will result in victory for Gladstone. He is greater in defeat in so Just a cause than he could have been a victory on any of the ordinary questiontl which usually decide the fate of English Governments. lie may not live to see this grctat meaauie of justice enacted by an English. Parliament, but his name will be more honored for bis connection with this temporarily defoatsd cause than for all ho victories of his lone, wonderful life. The march of Irish liberty is delayed, not ended." Still Tbpeful, Buffalo, X.

June: 8. Mr. James Mooney, ex-President of the iVlsh National League, says: "Irish Americans will be neither surprised nor disappointed by the vote on the borne rule bill. Rather t'hau have It pass by a small majority they arc glad to have the question of Home Hul submitted to the country." He expects Mk1. Gladstone will be restored to power on thi! Issue by an overwhelming majority.

The duty of the Irish people is clear. They ehould throw their whole undivided strength with Gladstone and do nothing to embarrass hi m.

An appeal to have to be made, and lie country will the issue will be home rule. It was a great thing yesterday to see 200 EntrlishnAen and Scotch- men in the British llousei or commons vote in favor of home rue for Ireland. Whether that figure indicated he high-water mark of British liberty to Irelanyl, or whether it was the promise of better thikigs, I cannot say.

I sincerely hope it was the latter. Yet 1 cannot help thlnklig that the presentation of Irish home rule In the English Parliament has btken uiado under exceptionally favorattle cir cumstances. Gladstone iw a tower of strength. No man in Great. Britain hns anything Ve his personal followlivg.

To tpeoulute on the possible rrsult of the forthcoming elections then, is Idle. It the British people shiill approve of Gladstone's policy at the polls, then an era of peact; between England and Ireland will have been inaugurated; if, on the contrary, the British people vote no If they aay Ireland shall be given no measure of sslf-govern-ment, she must bn subject absolutely to British dominations, and if the Irish people don't like that, let them pack why, then, we muHt take them to mean what they say. In that event, peaceful efiorts on the part of th Irishmen who incline that ny will probably be supplemented by other Irishmen with methods of a different sort.

This Is uttered, not as a threat, but as a speculation. Meanwhile the duty of Irishmen is to stand by Parnell and sustain him at the polls. If Parnell is beaten there, the Irish cnuse still remains and Irish soldiers will not be fouud wanting tn fight for it on other fluids. CALLED HACK. The President Suddenly Returns to the Xational Cnpital.

Dear Pare, Md. June 8. Early this morning Mr. John W. Davis who has had charge of the Presidential party, was notified that the President desired to make the trip to Washington and that be would like to have bis special follow closely after the midday train.

Secretary Lamont may have considered his presence in Washington lndlspensible and worked upon the feelings of bis superior, but Mr. Lamont bas not shown himself to the newspaper men and nothing can be learned of his complicity in this plan to cut short the Presidential honeymoon.

All is there It was.

bnt it was different last nignt. After midnight members in uo iuuuy crowded in eager anxlons groups, du two words from Gladstone caused them to stem-pede into the House like a flock of sheep before a watchdog; not So go. in leisurely with dignity, but literally to turn in, newer skelter. all alike, old Pariia-mentarv hands and young M. to whom the House seems more like a new school.

The Prime Minister was very pale, aoouc as white as the nower in ma umnjuuuin. There was an added solemnity in his manner befitting the occasion. tsest or all, however, he was in spienaia to ice. us range was as clear as in years gone by, and what a voice it is of extraordinary compass, from the light, bantering note In which he twitted the Tories with endeavoring "to adorn the laugh, to decorate it with an idea," down to the deep, resonant, intentionally hoarse bass to which it sank as he spoke of the profound, bitter condemnation with which English action toward Ireland was universally received; then the flexibility of it. From the top note to the bot tom Gladstone passes as lightly, smoothly and easily as a bird's carol and quality of it I How can one describe that? It is impossible to do so without seeming to fall into an absurd hyperbole.

There is a something SO W1NXING, SO MAGNETIC, In Gladstone's voice, as it was once more last night, and as no one can hardly venture to hope it will be again, that It is nec essary to seek for a smile. It la like a cathedral bell sounding far away over the river; a waterfall heard a long way off in the stillness of the night; or the sea rolling slowly in over the pebbly beach, the summer wind blowing over a hill of pines. In each of these is a strange, indescribable quality, which sometimes makes one's eyes fill, and throat contract, for mere physical sympathy. In Mr. Gladstone's voice, when well, there is the same note.

That voice is an inalienable member. Then there arose a cheer which for a long time rang through the house. Above all other sounds there seemed a clear note of forgiveness and gratitude in the hoarse cheers with which the Iri6h members anticipated victory. When tbe speaker rose it was some minutes before he could obtain a bearing. When he did his voice was as impassive as his face had been during the whole evening.

Without a shade of difference in his tone in which he announced on the mo6t trumpery matter come under his official notice. from that the division that has ever be put the momentous question that the word stand part of the bill. The usual pause between the two readings of the motion was PULL OP EXCITEMENT. Then he announced it again and the excitement changed Instantly to uproarious laughter as names of two tellers were heard. Brand and Caine were on everybody's lips.

The conjunction was changed to a preposition and the quasi Scriptural emendation of the "Brand of Cain" will stick to the member for Barrow for many long years. Very slowly, because of the great numbers, the nouse divided at last. How ever, it was left In the possession of the offi cials, and Labouchere had, with great deliberation, officially inspected all the benches. Then the usual mysterious signals were made, the sound of an opening door was heard, and the figure of Dilke, looking tall and slim in evening dress, whisked round the corner and strode up the center of the House to his seat. He was followed by Broadhurst, then crowds poured in again lndistinguishably.

When all had returned they sat silent for a few minutes, then there was a murmur of conversation; then every one was speaking in a loud voice. At last, so intense had the excitement grown that one continuous shout went up until the tellers made their appearance. The first one to appear wasMaJoribanks, who walked slowly up by the Treasury bench and whispered something as he passed. When he reached Mr. Robert Spencer he whispered again, and that veteran burled his lace in his handkerchief.

This exhibition of tragic despair was not lost upon the House. Immediately afterward it was seen that the tellers for the noes held a paper, and a scene ensued. In the midst of half a minute's silence the figures were read out, namely, 311 yeas; S41 noes. What followed it is Impossible to describe adequately first, prolonged SHOOTS OF THIUMPH from the Tories then the Irishmen assembled In a body and cheered Gladstone; then Healy sprang to his feet and tried to say something about Frederick Douglass. but Was overcome by the noise.

Then O'Con nor tried, having a louder ice. and succeeded for a second. "The dictator ship of intrigue and incapacity is over," he yelled. Then he, too, was over come. The Speaker had risen and was himself almost shouting for order; then there were three cheers for the "grand old man," and three groans for Chamberlain.

For a few minutes the whole House of Commons seemed to have gone mad. The members, however, were too eager to discuss the situation to remain any longer. Soon the scene was transferred to the lobbies outside. It is too early to speak of the future. The rumor was circnlated this morning that Hart ington was prepared to form a ministry and that the Queen would probably send for him I believe, on the contrary.

that the Cabinet council held yesterday unanimously decided to ask the Queen's con sent to a dissolution. Everything will be done to bring the session to an early close. I learn that yesterday two Ministers supported resignation, as opposed to dissolution. They might have induced some of their colleagues to ac ceae to their wishes, but In view of the large and unexpected majority; this Is now lmpos sioie. i am la a position to anow tuat Gladstone never anticipated so marked a defeat in ministerial circles.

This morning there is much gloom, for it is generally felt that the members of the division will exercise an Important Influence on the elections. These will probably be over by the second week in July, the Government holding office till October to carry on tne details of unimportant bnt neeessary publio business. Everybody is scanniner the division list to see who the Lilberals were who BOLTED THEIR PARTY. and members are la constant communication with the election agent in the country. England.

THE DEFEAT OI HOME RULE. London, June 8 The Standard says that the House of Commons In defeating the home-rule bill has saved Itself from degradation and the i.mpire irom disruption. It has also read a lesson to Ireland which, after the first irrlta tion has subsided, will, we trust, be duly ap predated oy the quick-witted Inhabitants of that island. Mr. Gladstone, Mr.

Racb Track, 8t. Louis, June 6. The attendance at 2 o'clock was not large, but the people came In gradually and the crowd came very near being as large as it was on Saturday. The first race was a dash of a mile and a furlong and had five starters: Lyeurgus, Biddy Bowling, Revoke. Bootblack and King George.

In the pools Revoke sold for $50; Bootblack, $23; Biddy Bowling, $21; Lyeurgus, fl6, and King George $12. The judges' stand was occupied by Charles Green, Julius S. Walsh, and the official timers were Edward Martin, Capt. Cottrell and John II. Smith.

6peclal Cablegram to the Fost-Dispateh. London, June 8. The division last night went as I anticipated, only rather more so. The whole debate occupied a considerably shorter time than had been expected. Until Gladstone rose the general opinion in the members' lobby was in a state of absolute confusion.

Several leading ministeriais were asserting positively that the bill was safe. The Whig on whom they have relied chiefly for Information stuck to his conviction that the bill was lost by a small majority, perhaps seven. During the whole evening, besides the official whips Labouchere, Healy, O'Brien, and O'Connor, were extremely busy working for the government, and Caine for Chamberlain, and Albert Grey for Hartington. The scene in the House surpassed anything ever witnessed there before. The erowd was so great that the officials could hardly go about their business, and the excitement was intense.

Complete strangers went up to the members and questioned them as freely as if they had been old friends. On this occasion distinguished Americans were not conspicuous In the gallery. Chadwick, a naval attache, was the only one I met, greatly enjoying himself in the lobby. A yery significent sign was the presence of Lord Rowton, well known as Beaconsfield's private secretary, who Is one of the Queen's most intimate friends, and who is always the means of private communication with the opponents of the Liberal Government. He was looking for Hartington for some time.

When be found him they remained together behind the door for nearly an hour. Sir Henry Ponsonby had been seen with Gladstone yesterday morning, bo that the Queen was clearly preparing for eventualities. In most other respects THE SCENE WAS nTES8PIED repetition of previous ones. In this debate there was the same crowd outside, but much larger. Gladstone's reception was similar to previous ones, but more enthusiastic.

The House itself was crowded to a degree never before equalled. The general excitement was such as the oldest members cannot recollect. Inside the House all the benches were crowded full. The steps of the gangway were covered with members as there is not a seat in any of tho galleries. Around the door was a compact body standing ten ceep and the impression left by the whole scene was that it would have been difficult to Insert another human being in any civilized posture under the yellow roof.

The Treasury bench In front of the Opposition bench had each their customary occupants; the middle bench below the gangway on the Opposition side which Is as important and regularly constituted as either of them, was filled as usual, apparently almost to suffocation the sad, hatchet-faced Healy, the pale Dillon, the red-nosed Sexton, the ponderous Parnell, the genial T. P. O'Connor, the alarming O'Kelly, and in the corner, Just in front of them, the astute O'Brien, as able and as faithful a set of men as any who were ever leagued together aggressive patriotism, or hated their country's enemies above their own. Goschen has the rare and happy faculty of lashing himself into as big a fury over the intricate differences between schedule A and schedule as most men can over the woes of a whole oppressed people or most flagrant of political treachery. He was positively INARTICULATE WITH PASSION, but while he stormed and raged the wolf-like hoarse rattle in his throat was terri ble to hear.

The house sat and wondered at him, and between the in tervals a mechanical party laugh from the Irish benches cut him short for a time Parnell disengaged himself from his colleagues by a great effort, and was on his feet immedi ateiy. Being there, however, he seemed for a time able to make little use of that emi neuce. His first sentences were delivered with considerable nervousness and the speaker himself was unusually pale. It was true as he said, tnat Goschen had never been the less effective, but the same re mark was truer of hiinsell. After the Intro duction he passed to a statistical argument, showing that there was no such thing as Ulster in the sense in which the soi disant Loyalists use the word.

He showed this conclusively, but his argument was rather a dry one, and it seemed as though his speech was destined to be ineffective. Throughout he held, however. in his hand a bundle oi manuscript which had been submitted to Sexton earlier in the evening. It had apparently received the experienced debater's complete approval, for as soon as his argument about Ulster was completed, Parnell began to read from the manuscript. At once his speech took a higher level and.

began to be impressive. He avoided. of course, all appearance of reading it, look ing round the house after each sentence, with outstrtched forefinger of the right hand emphasizing each sentence as It came, but he was clearly reading A CAREFULLY PREPARED SPEECH. He appeared more like a man or common feelings and sympathies last night than he has done for a long time. He is usually cold and dispassionate, without any trace of the enthu siasm of most of his followers, but last night when he exclaimed: "We cannot give up a single Irishman," a flush of affectionate pride passed over his broad face.

In the concluding tones of his appeal for peace and prosperity for suffering Ireland, there was a chord of tender, genuine kindness, which would have won him more votes than any argument, if the members were half as ready to find just grounds for generous dealing as they are eager to catch him tripping over some hasty expression or some old ill-chosen word. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach is a poor creature on a great occasion. He stands absolutely alone in pretty platitudes and trivial sarcasms which do duty with him for serious political discussion, but as the leader of one of the two great parties of the "House of Commons, especially when one reflects that Gladstone is the leader of the other, he is positively absurd. There ia a certain facility for the humbler trickery of debate, which places him occasionally on a level with his fellow members; as last night in the scene with Far nell. This scene sprang from Parnell's calm assurance to the House that he had received from Conservative statesmen before the gen eral election, a pledge that the Tories ould give him a measure of home rule so large as to include the power to protect Irish Indus tries.

This statment created what is known as A 6ESSATIOS. That is, there arose a buzz of excited con versation In low tones, which quite ignored the member who had caused it and compelled him td cease speaking for a minute or so, till it had subsided. So, while Lord Randolph bobbed up and down, liae a parched pea, on the sea beside him, the leader of the Tory partv apparently denied the charge with great candor and som sarcasm. In however, he only denied with qualification. At last Gladstone rose, Kobody who was not la the House on thl Gladstone exerted all his marvelous powers of intimidation, mystification, and persuasion in xavor oi his bill, but we rejoice that the majority against it was decisive and crushing.

This speaks well for the Independence and courage of the House of Commons. It is a strong testimony in favor of the encouraging belief that Englishmen and Scotchmen are not ready to submit, as yet, themselves to the leveling influence of the machine politics of America. The point is if the Government had been granted a second reading they would have re-Introduced th'e same bill. On this issue the division was taken and the bill was condemned in both the present and future tense." TheXews (Ministerial) says: "Dissolution has been rendered inevitable by last night's vote. Mr.

Parnell's emphatic declaration that Ireland would accept Mr. Gladstone's bill as a i final settlement will have a wider Influence with the nation to-day than all tbe astute and minute criticisms of Mr. Goshen. Consider ing the Democratic spirit of the Xationalists, Mr. Parnell's declared opinion that the provision creating the first order in the proposed Irish Parliament was a salutary provision was significant.

Sir Michael Hicks-Beach doubt less spoke the literal truth so far as he knew it, but we need not suppose that Lord Randolph Churchill always takes his advice. Mr. Gladstone's speech was worthy of himself and the occasion. The whole case is now before the country for decision, TOBIES DELIGHTED. The Telegraph (Conservative says: "We are persuaded that the voice of the House of Commons faithfully reflects the nnion of the country.

The debate sustained the historlo reputation of the British Parliament for lofty oratory, which reached a climax on the closing night. The unity of the Kingdom has been preserved by the first great declaration of the British democracy come to power." The Chronicle says "We are left with a clear issue. This must be taken between the policy of Lord Hartington and the policy of Mr. Gladstone. Tbe country must now decide the question." The Post (Conservative) says: "The result remained doubtful to the last moment.

It was even feared that Mr. Gladstone's eloquent ppeal would cause enough abstensions to save the bill." A SURPRISING MAJORITY. The majority against the bill surprised even the Unionists. Several members supposed to favor the bill went Into the onnosition lobby. The crowd outside attempted to mob Lord Hartington when he emerged from the House after the division.

It is supposed that Sir Wilfred Blunt was the intermediary between Parnell and the Tories during the last election, and that he undoubtedly did lead the Parnellites to believe that the Conservatives would introduce a home rule bill. Lord Randolph Churchill is generally believed to be the member of the Conservative party who made the promise for his party. Eighty-five Parnell-lites voted with tbe Government. The eighty-sixth, Capt. O'Shea, whom Parnell Insisted on having the League elect to represent one di vision of Galway, walked out of the House and abstained from voting.

About twelve Liberals refused to vote on the division. The Liberals who voted against the Government are said to be almost identical with those whose names were on the list prepared before the recant Liberal meeting at tho Foreign Of fice. ABSENT MEMBERS. The only members who were absent were the Rt. Hon.

Charles Penharn Vllliers. Liberal member of South Wolverhampton: Sir Frederick A. Milbank, Liberal member for Rich mond Yorkshire; Frederick W. Grafton, Lib eral member for Xortheast Lancashire, and Wm. Grey Ellison MacCartney, Conservative member for South Antrim.

Theo. Bartholow, the well-known commis sion merchant, of the firm of Theo. Bartholow has determined to go out of the commission business. Mr. Bartholow has been in business here since firms of Xanson, Bartholow Lewis, Xanson A and the present firm.

In a chat with a Post-Dispatch reporter, Mr. Bartholow said that the decline of the legitimate commission business and an unwillingness to continue in the risky and troublesome business of option dealing caused his retirement. There is no such thins, said he, as commission business at present. The country men are not willing to consign, but want to sell on the track and be rid of the grain. Hence a merchant must go out and buy grain, and this is a purely speculative business with small profits ami with many risks.

"Option buying has small profit in it to my mind, and requires constant attention and care. I do not want to speculate, but I want to engage in some business that does not require suchclose attention. I have monev enough to go into any kind of business 1 choose and I want to gttt away from speculation." Mr. Bartholow Is closing up his business as rapidly as possible. There are evidences in the recent crop re- Sorts of strong efiorts on the part of Chicago ulls to boost the market.

Jack Cudahy and others in Chicago who were heavy winners as bears turned bulls and attempted to carry the market with them by sending out unfavorable reports and bullish predictions. Within the laft few days reports of damage to crops in the northwest by frost and of damage to crops in Europe have been current. Reports from Minneapolis declare all such statements absurd and assert that the slight frost did the wheat good rather than otherwise, and the latest authentic reports from Europe are favorable. The effurts of the bulls to work the outsiders have been unsuccessful, particularly here in St. Louis, where the market broke ajcouple of cents to-day.
