An IMMENsE RoNFIRE


was kindled in front of the Exposition,
near the corner Of Broad and Vine. The
flames darted high in the air, lighting up
the surrounding neighborhood for some
distance, giving much the appearance OF a

people to rush hastily down the streets
leading to the Exposition, which was
thought to be on FIRE lIThis happily was moi

A miraculous Escape.

NEW YoRK, May ia special from
Port Jervis states that the palace car yes
terday morning of the express train going
west on the Erie, filed with delegates to
the Elmira Convention, burned off an axle,
letting the wheel on the ties for the distance
of mile while running along the edge of a
precipice one hundred feet high at fearful
rate. Nothing saved the car from pitching
down the embankment but the fact of its
being on s'x-wheeled trucks and all the cars
securely chained together. Great indigna-
ton is expressed among the passengers that
the boxes should have been so carelessly
hacked as to render such an accident posi-
ble in a run of eighty miles.

FOUR FIRE ENGINES .-
had rushed frantically to the spot, and now
commenced throwing water with great
effect. soon quenching the flames which
which were leaping like fiery fiends in the
air. The fremen were in full dress, and
their brilliant uniforms and glazed hats
produced very fine effect. The working
of the department was a splendid
effort, illustrating quite well the character
and nature of this Indispensable feature
in the protec ction of property. A gentleman
from Cincinnati expressed a very favorable
opinion of our fire organization, and says
its workings last night were as fine as any
display he has ever seen made in Cincin-
natl. From what we saw, we can. with
out fattery to Capt. Stockell, chief Of the
Fire Department, say the organization is in
8. very efficient condition, being ably man
AGED and Systematically controlled. The
| fTemen are active and most apt in the per-
| formance of their difficult duties, and dis
play proficiency in the various positions,
the result of deep interest and enthusi-
asm in their work.

Greeley IN the SOUtns
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, May 13.-Mr. II. Brom-
lev. editor of the Hartford Post, arrived
here this evening, having made short trip
through the States of Kentucky, Tennessee,
| Alabama and Virginia since the Cincinnati
! Convention. He reports that he has been
very much surprised at the enthusiasm
! with which the nominations OF the Cmcin'
natl Convention have been received through
out the South. From conversations with
intelligent gentlemen in all the States
named, he learns that the first choice OF
the masses of the people was Mr.. Greeley
in the start, and although he wa:
doubtful of the policy of the nom
ination, when first made, he is satisfied Dt
other would have swept the Soutf
so completely. 1t is proper to say that MIR
Rromley's first choice, both before the Gin
cinnati Convention and during its proceed
inps. was Mr.. Adams, and when the con
vention closed be was in doubt as to th'
! wisdom of the nomination of Messrs. Gree
Iev and Brown. He believes no nomina
,ion nossible to be made by the Baltimor
Convention would have respectable fol
lowing at the South. The people have al
rnadv thrown up their hats for the Cincin
natl ticket. and the politicians cannot hin
der Them going for it with a rush. h
thinks all the Southern delegations to Bait
more will oppose an independent, nomina
ton, and demand the ratlhcaion OF I'd
