Stomach trouble is serious business

to have it depart. Mrs F. G. Wells, of

-Four Persons Burned to death.

BRADFoRD, Pa, July 1.-THE most disastrous
fire in the history of Bradford occurred at an
early hour this morning, by which four persons
were burned to death, and four others badly in
jured, two believed to be fatally hurt, and ten
buildings destroyed. The fire originated In the
bakery Of Mrs. Charles Riebley, and spread
so rapidly that Mary and Lizzie Riebley aged
two and six years respectively, and Swedish
servant girl were suffocated and burned to a
crisp. Mrs. Riebley, in her efforts to rescue her
babes, was terribly burned, and died in a short
time after being taken from the building
Lena Gerwitz and Mary Touhey were
asleep when the fire broke out, and escaped by
jumping from the window. Both were severely
injured, and Miss Touhey, it is thought, will
badly hurt. The latter is the
father of Mrs Riebley. The buildings
destroyed were stores, and mostly frame

VRscENNKs, July 1.-THE nomination of
Cleveland has utterly ssiekeneda the Democ-
raey here Last night, denunciations of Cleye-
land, loud and deep, were heard ON every hand,
and Democrats, consoled themselves that he
would not get the nomination; bat to-day, whom
the result of the second ballot was announced,
many predictions of his defeat could be heard.
Numbers of Democrats at once announced their
determination to vote for Blaine Especially is
this true with the Irish Neither Democrats
nor Republicans here think Hendricks adds any
strength to the ticket, and, in fact, Hendricks
is denounced for submitting to the nomination.
All day more Republicans have surrounded the
bulletins than Democrats.

rooms, in company with Judge WhiteIer and a

the second ballot had been foreseen by the
company when the first change to Cleveland was
announced after the reception of the first sum

nomination had been abandoned there was a

WASHINGTON, July II. Representative s. S.
Cox received the news of the nomination Of Gov.
Cleveland while sitting chatting with Senator.
Vest in the rotunda Of the hotel He expressed
his entire content with the choice of the eoHven
ton Governor Cleveland he said, was man
Of ability, and one for whom he felt high per
sonas regard The nominee would carry New
York as surely as Mcdonald or Hendricks, if
nominated, would have carried Indiana John
Kelly would not oppose Cleveland, and New
York city would give large majority for the
Democratic ticket The platform, Mr. Cox pro-
nounced one of the finest upon which his party
had ever entered on a campaign, and he thought
he detected in the tariff plank the
master.hand of Ahram s. Hewitt AS q
consistent revenue reformer that plank
met with his heartiest approval 1t was exactly
what the revenue reformers wanted Another
plank with which he was most earnestly in
accord was that faxoring the reservation Of pub
lie lands for the use Of actual settlers, and de-
clarfng that no more grants of lands shall be
made to corporations Taken In its entirety,
the platform was the code Of firstclass Demo
cratic and progressive thought
Representative Holman regarded the nomina-
ton as an eminently respectable one. Cleve-
land he thought, could carry New York State
and the Union. He had not yet given the plat
form sufficient study to be able to pass an intel
ligent opinion upon it, but, as far as he could
judge from cursory reading, it was an able
document.
Senator Vest. Of Missouri was much pleased
with both the platform and the nominee selected
to'stand upon it They were equally exeel1ent
He did not regard John Kelly's alleged oppose
ton as being Of any serious consequence, and
predicted that that gentleman would in the end,
be found working for the Democratic nominee.
Governor Cleveland stood an excellent chance Of
carrying Massachusetts,, was certain of earrying
New York, and almost equally safe Of carrying
the country
Representative Lowry, of Indiana, said that,
in his opinion, the Democratic ticket would
carry that State. He said: "Cleveland's
position is misunderstood. It is the most diff
cult thing in the world for an executive
Of New York State to adapt himself TO the
different divisions Of the party in the State.
There are so many conflicting interests that
bold and upright man, intent on dscharging his
duties according TO his convictions, must neces-
sarily create enemies. His veto Of the elevated
railroad bill was the necessary result of the en-
forcement Of the existing provisions of law: The

interference with fares unless the capital stock

The booming canon first announced the nominal
ton to him Standing in his private room, with
Farnsworth on the right and Colonel Lamont,
his private secretary, on the left he received the
congratulations Of those present in a dignifed
manner. The Governor had nothing direct to
say beyond an expression of his thanks to those
who congratulated him. He manifested some
curiosity to learn the details of the ballot, but
the bulletins stopped as soon as the general re
