THE FIRE RECORD.

A Terrible ConflagratiOn at Cleveland Ten
Acres of Lumber and Frame Buildings on
Fire at Once-Help Telegraphed for to
Various Places.
CLEVELAND, o., Sept. IA great conda-
grafton is raging on the flats. The entire
fire department is in service, and kilograms
have been sent to Akron, Youngstown,
Painesville, Erie, Sandusky and Toledo for
assistance. The origin OF the fire is un-
known. Incendiarism is suspected by some,
but the most probable theory is that sparks
from a tug set fire early in the evening to
pile of shayings, from which flames spread
until Woods, Perry & Co.'s extensive lum-
ber yard was ablaze. The fire continued to
extend, defying all efforts of the fremen.
The lumber yards of Potter, Birdsall & Co.
and C. G. King & Co. were also consumed.
A variety of iron works are destroyed;
Stanley's candle factory is burned, and part
of Sherwin, Williams e Co. varnish works
and at 10 o'clock the conhagration threatens
TO become still more extensive. About ten
acres oflumber and frame buildings were

place. give it entire, and it speaks for

WEsTFIELD, Ind. Sept. 3.-A large and
enthusiastic audience greeted Major Calkius
and Senator Spann at this place last night
1t was meeting got up in one day, and ev-
eIybody was surprised to see so large a crowd.
There must have been fully !, 200 voters be-
sides ladies and children, on the streets of the
village and at the meeting. Senator Spann
made most eloquent address, which was
loudly spplauded at various points. Major
Calkins spoke for about twenty minutes.
The Democrats had a meeting appointed for
the same hour, but did not hold it, for the
reason, as they said, they did not want TO in
terfere with the Calhins meeting, but the
true reason was that there was nobody but
Wat Evans and Frank Trissell, of Nobles-
vile, TO listen 10 their speaker, Hon. T. B.
Ward.
/ have analyzed the above article carefully
and can not find a single sentence that bor-
deIs on the truth. The assertion that there
were 200 voters present, and that Judge
Wand did not speak, and that no one was
there to hear him except Wat Evans and
Frank Trissal, is about as near the truth as
Tom Lindley, Dock Pettijohn and Joe Gray
ever get.
The facts are Judge Wand did speak for
one hour and twenty minute to an audi
ence Of about 200 people, who were very at.
tentive and who preserved the most perfect
order.
II / am not sadly mistaken his speech, to-
gether with the gentlemanlY behavior of the
Democrats, when contrasted with the bonn
bast and abuse emitted by Mr.. Spann aud
Calkins, and the intolerance shown by a few
of the Republican managers. has made an
impression on large number Of the fair
minded Republicans that viii not soon be
