o.
Full Details Of the Destruction Of the
"RscOrds Paper Mills, Near Elkton'
Nd, this hGOrning--Heavy Loss.
Especial dispatch to the Gazette.l
ELKroN, Nd, August The hee4aS s,,.S
paper mills are in ruins. Inc nis, ,o.ni,o MING
broke out I'm the building TINS norhiusl
has DESTROYED the whole main building anu
caused the heaviest lost suffered oy hre near
here for many years. The GAZETTE corres-
nondent has lust returned from the scene
with full details.
HOW THE FIRE STARTED.
The origin of the fire is in doubt II was
first discovered in the clipper room; Mneh
seen first It had gained considerable mead
wav and was burning fast. This was ABOUT
o'clock, before the men had come 10 work
AT once the alarm was sounded by the
blowing of the whistle and the iull lorce
Of employees numbering over lOO men
turned out and took an active part IN hgnt-
ing the flames. By this time the whoie IN
terror of the main building in which the clip.
per room is located was ablaze, and the hea'
thrown out was intense.
PLOTTING THE FLAMES.
The FIRE burned very rapidly, and at ont
time IL looked as If the whole establishment
out buildings and all, would be burhed u
the gfOuDu. lut ulllls hou az 80. y
of hose, and by means OF this tine engine
kept constantly going, threw eonstan,
stream of water upon the blazing pile ano
the adjoining buildings which were IN Dan
ger of catching. By this means eommuni
cation to the Outbuildings was prevented
The fire burned very rapidly and IN les
than an hours time 1t hnd accomplished II
work.
WHAT WAS BURNED.
AS stated above, the main building wa
totally destroyed together with the larg
tank holding %, 200 gallons of water. In
rag room, beater room, clipper room, diges'
ing room, alkali department, and mue
modern and expensive machinery wer
burned.
The buildings saved C, .nprise the machln
room, evaporator building and main boile
room. The large digester boiler wa
saved.
THE LOSS.
The loss will be very heavy. A hasty est
mate is that it will be between S5O,OOO an
100000. Mr.. Singerly, the proprietor,
at Long Branch and a correct statemei
cannot be learned. Mr.. Harris, the manage
of the mill, expects Mr. Singerly in Eikte
tonight. He says the work of rebuildi
will be at once begun One hundred me
are thrown out of employment.

THE CONVENTION.

The Democratic State Convention
will assemble at Harrisburg next We'd
nesday for the purpose of nominating a
ticket to be voted for next November.
Among the prominent names mention
ed for Governor are Judge Turnkey,
Senator Eckley Il. Coke, Ex-senator
Buckalew, Senator S. L. Wolverton,
Robert +. Pa'tison, James III. Hopkins
and Robert +. Monaghan. For Judge
of the Supreme Court, Judge Ludlow,
Furman Sheppard, Judge Mclean.
Judge Cummin and several Others will
probably be presented For Iieuten
ant Governor, II. +. Packer is promin-
emily mentioned, aud J. Simpson Africa
appears to have the inside track for the
office of Secretary of Internal Affairs.
There are many suggestions as to Con
gresham at-large, aud it is likely that
a number of names will be submitted
to the Convention. A ticket made up
from these gentlemen will be a strong
one, and if it receives anything like the
support of a united Democracy, it must
win. There have been no bosses to
dictate to the party months in advance
who the candidates shall be, and who
ever are selected will be the represen-
tatives of the Democratic party, and
not of any man or faction. 1t must be
remembered that the Independent-Re
publican movement was not originated
for the purpose of putting the Demo
Gratis in power in the State, and there
fore if we win it must be through our
own efforts, and not through any out
side assistance. 1t will not do for Dem.
ocrats to do as many of them did last
fall, namely, vote the Independent
ticket ornot vote at all. The split in the
opposition gives us golden opportuni
ty that has not been ours for some
years, and if we seize it, Pennsylvania
will be rescued not only from the con
troll of dictator who has ruled with
rod of iron, but also from the party
that has cringed like slaves before the
Cameron sceptre and permitted him to
pollute the politics of this common
wealth uItil she has become a by word
all over the nation as the seat of politi-
cal corruption. Whether there shall
be change or not depends now on the
wisdom of the coming Convention.
