OF the Democratic National

Washington Special 20 the Courier JournaI
There is much comment as to who shall
be chairman of the Democratic national
committee, some of it nearly correct and
most of it not at all correct. 1t depends
largely on General Hancock. Senator Bar
nun desires to be retired He has served the
party good while in this place, and has
given it good deal of time and hard work
He thinks he has earned rest and will will
ingly give away to some other member of the
committee. IT. however, General Hancock
ihall see fit to urge Mr.. Barnum to remain at
the head of the committee, he will sacrifice
his own inclinations to do so.
Many of those who have been longest in
favor Of Gen. Hancock's nomination desire
to see Senator Wallace at the head of The
committee. They argue that be has shown
superior sagacity. as political manager, and
never more so than in the work he aid at
Cincinnati for Hancock Senator Wallace
himself would be glad to serve the party as
the head of the committee, and it il under
stood his visit to-day to Gen. Hancock was
for the purpose Of consulting with him as to
the wisdom of making such change in the
committees Craftsmanship.
Senator Wallace not being a member of
the committee, Gen. Hancock would be
obliged to ask for the retirement from the
committee Of w. L. Scott who represents
pennsylvania. Should change be deemed
desirable, Mr., Scott stands ready 10 do what
ever the candidate thinks wisest for the par
ty, and will retire without protest should
Gen. Hancock say 80. II the latter refuses
to make any decision, however, the officers
will probably remain as they are. Messrsl

Fort Worth, July Sat o'clock last
night the cry of fire startled the community,
and brilliant light appeared on Houston
street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, and
soon an immense crowd were at the scene.
The flames were wild and rapid in their pro-
gress, and those that worked had their capa-
city taxed trying to save goods and other
property. Most of the furniture an stocks
OF goods were gotten out OF the houses, bat
the flames came on so rapidly and people,
through excitement or otherwise, were so
slow to remove them that most Of the things
burned up in the street. Seven frame houses,
principally large two-story buildings, were
burned but one house on that row was saved.

occupied by Mr.. White and family.
Fortunately no lives were lost, though
Hugh Chapman remained up stairs, through
excitement or endeavoring TO save his goods.
SO long that at one time he was thought lost.
The smoke was sutfocating and the flames
were breaking through the roof.
The need OF fremen, engine and water was
sorely, felt. The rapidity o. the flames
and the scarcity of water caused the DELAY of
the firemen to be more noticeable, when in
fact, from difficulties they had to labor under

Everything being in splendid burning or

A barber shop was also burned; no insur-

So far as heard these unfortunates will rent
houses and engage in business at once.
The fire originated in some straw lust back
of MIR. Chapman's house. He says beyond a
doubt it was the act of an incendiary. About
q o'clock Mr.. Chapman retired. Shortly
atterward Mrs. Chapman went out in the
back yard and was in two or three feet of
where the fire started. Mrs. Chapman re-
tired within few minutes and in about
three minutes the cry of fire was heard, and
in less than half an hour these frame houses
were beyond redemption. Mr.. Chapman
