GENERAL NEWS.
LAST NIGHTS DISPATCHES TO THE RECORD
UNION.
DOMESTIC.
The New York Democrats.

Hall delegates to the Democratic State Con.
vention, the delegates of the county and the
delegates of the Irving Hall Democrats
marched with contingents to their respective
hotels, as they arrived to-day. Tammany
Hall bad the largest line, but the county
Democracy won the loudest applause. When
john Kelly reached the city he was told that
there was strong opposition to the admis-
sion to the Convention Of the Tammany
delegation. He responded that he was not
disappointed. TammsDy came TO the Con-
vention as in duty bound, leaving the Con-
vention to take the responsibility of their
exclusion. In reply to q question as to
whether Tammany would hold separate
Convention, he said ths5 would not be done.
Tammany would return to New York,
absolved from supporting the ticket made
here but it would nominate and support its
own local ticket. They wanted recognition
here, full, sole and total. If they could not
get that then the party of the State could lay
no claim to their votes or support.
SECOND DISPAToH.l
ALBANY. October 10th.-The State Com
mittee went into session this evening, to make
up the roll of delegates and select temporary
Chairman. John Kelly, member of the
committee, objected to the county Demo.
cratic delegation being placed on the roll.
The committee overruled his objection. The
Tammanyites this evening say they will
support the State ticket, and do not ask a
single nomination on it, They said they will
unite with Irving Hail on the local ticket and
run it against that of the county Democracy,
with view of showing that they can cast the
most votes, hoping in that way to convince
the rural Democrats that they have made a
mistake in ruling them out. A careful can
vass shows that there are but twenty.four

Disastrous Fire.
New York, October 10th.-A fire occurred
at o'clock tonight in the Fourth avenue
car stables, which occupied the entire block
between Covington and Fourth avenues.
They were entirely consumed A number of
horses were got out, but some persisted. The
lowest estimate of the horses burned is 80,
the highest 200. The estimated loss on
stable and contents is $50. 600. The flames
few across Thirty-second street., and set fire
to Morell's large furniture storage building,
which was entirely burned down. This
building occupied the middle of the block on
the south side of Thirty-second street. The
loss on buildings and contents is estimated at
50 600. 900. Some of the finest furniture il
the city was stored here, and it was destroyed.
1t was in this warehouse that the proprietors
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel stored their furni.
ture. Among the articles stored was a
picture owned by W. III. Vanderbilt, and
valued at $4,000. 1t fell prey to the
flames.
New York, October 10th.-Half an hour
after the first outbreak of the fire, the flames,
with sudden sweep, spanned Thirty-second
street, and, beating off the tiremen, seized
upon the tall storage warehouse, the largest
of its kind in the city. There was $4,000, 900
worth of property stored therein. The fight
to save it was unavailing, and it is
now a heap of blazing ruins. The
best families of the city, when travelling
or out of town, stored their valuables
at Morrell's and took their own risks, insur-
ing or not insuring, as they saw tit. Much OF
the material stored there was consequently
uninsured. On certain property some Eng
lish companies held heavy risks, amounting
in several instances to over S50, GOO or
$50. 900. The fremen had all they could do
to save the adjoining buildings. Morrell
estimates his loss at from 81, ,000, 900 to ST.
900 600. William Fl. Vanderbilts paintings
are said to be uninsured. A man deplor-
ing the loss Of $1,000 worth of un-
insured furniture would not give his name.
Mrs. Einstein lost &c. 600 worth of wedding
presents. SCHUYLER Wheeler's library is gone.
George Verbarger loses $50, 600 worth of fur
niture. Harriet Irving, now at Long Branch,
loses $50, 600 worth of pictures; and Abram
s. Hewitt, who went to Europe Saturday,
loses $40, 600 worth of furniture. During
the progress of the fire one of the engines
caught fire, and the hose had to be turned on
it to save it. The cause of the fire is be.
lieyed to be from the accidental upsetting of
an oil lamp on the Thirty-second street
side of the stables. Owing to the
great amount of hay and grain in

great rapidity. Gales from the northwest
sent the flames to great hight. Showers of
burning cinders were hurled as far as Twenty
third street. The glare of the fire could be
seen in every part of the city, and immense
crowds of people gathered in the vicinity,
and were with difficulty held in check by the
police. Park Avenue Hotel, opposite the
stables. was exposed to a fearful heat, but
escaped injury. The guests were greatly ex-
cited. The horses taken out of the burning
stable were driven into the Fourth avenue
tunnel. About 100 animals persisted. Az
one time it was reported that three men lost
their lives in trying to rescue the horses, but
the rumor lacked confirmation. On account Of
the high wind prevailing the fremen abandoned
all hopes of saving the stables, and by
o'clock they were mass CT ruins. To COM
bat the fire an extra supply Of water was
turned into the east side mains from the res
ervoir. Fire Marshal Sheldon said the loss
on the car stables and contents would reach
$4,000. The building was entirely destroyed
The losses are covered by insurance in many
companies. A woman is reported to have
died from fright, while another was conveyed
to the hospital in an unconscious condition.
John Flanagan, aged 40, a fireman, and Jas.
Kelly. aged II, were knocked down by the
crowd, and received internal injuries They
were removed to the hospital. The fire is
still burning ferceiy, but the flames are IN
der control.
The EOy Train RObbers-Story OF One OF
the Youngsters.
LITTLE Rock (Ark.), October 10th.-The
train robbers-Cox, Delaney and Monroe
were placed in the Penitentiary last evening,
and have been the center of attraction since.
They are in good spirits, and take their SEN
tences ceolly. The oldest Delaney has a
slight black mustache. The others have
none at ALL Monroe, who gives his age at
between 16 and II, appears even younger.
All appear like ordinary country boys. Cox
and Monroe are printers, having worked
at q printing Office at San Augustine,
Texas, prior to the robbery. In an
interview Delaney said, in substance: I'VE
are all poor boys, and live at San Augustine.
We have good relatives there, and hope they
will never hear of our disgrace. All OF us
were in love and the girls loved us. We had
no money, and did not see how we could sup
port them if we married. We were deter
mined to get married, and so laid our plans
to get money. We had read about the James
boys in papers and books, and saw how easy
it was to rob trains and get away, and de-
cided to rob train. We left home
three weeks ago yesterday, coming
direct to Arkansas after robbing the
train. We did not think we would be per-
sued. We were going back home with our
money, then marry our girls and settle down.
We had no accomplices, and planned the
whole thing ourselves. We only got IS, 900
or $4,000 in cash from the express car, the
rest being in bank checks. and l kept the
