Francis Miller, who was selected at

Francis Miller, who was selected at
the Republican convention held in
Rockville last week as an elector on
the State ticket, has written to the
chairman of the Republican State
committee declining to run as an
elector in view of the question of his
ineligibility which has been raised.
Mr.. Miller says that he does not hold
a United States Office in the sense
that is meant in the Jaw which would
prevent him from being an elector.
He holds the position of assistant at
torney for the District of Columbia,
and this, he says, can hardly be con-
strued into being a federal position.
Still, so as to avoid all contest, he
says he has declined the honor. The
committee will select some one to run
in his place.

THE LATEST SUMMARY.

Two hundred and sixty-seven towns give
Robie. GIBBS; Redman, 40, ,064 scattering,
24l4; plurality, 1924. The same towns in
'S2 gave Robie, 5G,l95; Plaisted, Al, ,5l0; /;
scattering, l467; plurality, $685.. The towns
to hear from gave Robie, l6, 1856; Plaisted.
l6,4l1. The republican gains will probably
change this minority into plurality and Robie
will have over 10000 in total vote of about
100000.
The vote of 1880 gave total plurity of
1863, so that the gain this year will be 10000
on the gubernatorisl vote of 1880. The
presidential vote that year gained 5000 on the
gubernatorial vote, and probably will gain in
November considerably on this. All four
congressman are elected, and the legislature
will be overwhelmingly republican.

CLEVELAND'S FIRE.
A Square Mile Laid in Ashes With Great
LOss-The Biggest Blaze the City
Has Ever Known.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. s.
The fire which commenced yesterday was
under control this morning. Six hundred
acres are in ashes. Every vestige of prop
erty between the Cuyahoga river railroad
tracks and Scranton avenue has been des-
troyed. The heat is still intense. A large
section of the railroad track has been des-
troyed and travel delayed. The total loss
will reach 50 800 600. on which there is an
insurance of not over $500, 900. Cleveland
has never before had such narrow escape
from destruction. A large number OF fire
men are severely though not dangerously
burned, and others were injured through other
causes. One unknown man was carried away
thought to be fatally injured.
