o'clock Friday night fire broke out in this
city, aRd the flames spread with such rapid
ity that they passed beyond control of
the department The Hotel Paatka
was one of the first buildings to
succmnb to the flames. The guests were
barely able to escape even in their night
clothes. The flames were carried by a gale
to the dry-goods house OF DeyerauX, Rogers
& Son, which was quickly reduced to ashes.
\ can of powder in the building exploded,
seriously hurting two firemen. The destruc-
ton of the store opened an avenue for the
fire into the business district, and all the
business houses, together with Grahams
Hotel. Gritfith's Office building, the Larkin
House. the Presbyterian Church and Col.
Onei Harris buildings were destroyed. The
loss is estimated at from $75O,00O to $1,000
000. During the fire much alarm was caused
by the action of the negro population

grueS who, thinking the election of Cleve-
land meant their reinstatement, marched
through the streets armed with rifles and
making wild threats. They chucl1led with
delight when one after another of the build

INDIANA


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE Sec
rotary of State has received the official re-
turns from seventy-eight of the ninety-two
counties in Indiana. They give Gray, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, pa, 26S
votes; Callins, Republican, 210,041: Leon
ard, Greenbacker, 1874; Dwiggins, Prohi-
bitionist, S,56S. Gray's plurality is
4,922 The unofficial returns from
the remaining counties give Gray
26, 083 votes, which would increase his
plurality to 6,9O5. The returns show
that the Republican estimate of the Prohi-
bition and Greenback vote was about cor
rect. but that they were disappointed in the
accessions OF Irish Democrats, and that the
Independent Republican vote was larger
than was expected, The vote on the Pres
idential electors under the laws of Indiana
is not officially reported until the fourth
Monday in November, but it is estimated
that the Democratic plurality for Cleveland
will be about two thousand less than on the
State ticket.

The Outlook at Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May %, 3,1SS4.-"Politi-
clans are steering away from Chicago
lust at present, remarked an observant
lounger in The lobby of the Grand Pa
cifc Hotel this afternoon. "They are
getting ready for the work of week af-
ter next. | think the absence of any
excitement or other manifestation OF
interest 80 near to the date Of the Con-
vention is an indication that the sos.
sion will be short one. At the cores
ponding period preceding the Conven-
ton of 1880 the blowers and strikers of
various factions were already on the
scene, and there was vast amount of
preliminary log rolling going on"
These remarks will describe the pres.
ent situation here regarding the forth
coming Convention. Webster Flana.
gan, OF Texas, who has been here for
the past two weeks, is still alone in his
glory as the only delegate yet In the
city. In the absence OF other material,
tho newspaper reporters hold daily
seances with him and he affords them
much amusement if not information.
He never tires of telling how he push
ed through delegation for Arthur in
his State, under cover of huHrah for
Blaine. He is sanguine In his prediC-
tions that Arthur will be nominated on
the first ballot. He claims that the
Edmunds delegates from New York
will vote for Arthur on the first ballot.
Edmunds, be says, will only get the
vote OF the Vermont delegation, and Lo-
gan will only have the votes of the Hi
nois delegation.
Allusion to Logan's canvass recalls
the fact that United States Marshal A.
NJ. Jones, commonly known as
"Long" Jones, the head manipulation
OF the Logan boom, returned to-day
from visit to his chief at Washing
ton. He is very guarded, however, in
his remarks AZ to the result of his trip,
but, of course, holds that Logan's
chances Of securing the prize are still
good. The only important piece OF in
formation he has been willing to impart
is that neither General nor Mrs. Logan
will be here during the Convention.
This announcement Is regarded as
prima tacie evidence that Logan recog-
nizes the fact that he does not stand the
"ghost of show" 81 he and his
"better half" never fail to be on the
field whenever there is a fighting
chance Of winning the object sought for.
There is one belief among the political
gossips, regardless of their preferences.
and it is that it will take but two or
three ballots to reach q nomination.
There is good reason to believe that
the tickets to be issued to repre-
sentatives of the press will be intelli-
gently and impartially distributed this
year. John G. New, Of the sub.com-
mittee, has announced that he will not
give the tickets to the Local Press Com
mittee, but will take personal charge of
the distribution. Three tickets will
be given to each of the New York
papers.

A TRIBU tie TO THE MEMORY OF
PRINCE LEOPOLD.

ION Wednesday. Miss Maggie Il. Carpenter,
of this city, received letter dated "Buck-
ingham Palace, 5. W. May 0, and written at
lhe command OF Queen Victoria by Sir Henry
PonsOLby, her private secretary, thanking
Miss Carpenter for her very kind letter con
tanning tribute to the memory OF the
Queens favorite son Prince Leopold The
letter was enclosed In an envelope suiting the
deep mourning OF Her Royal Highness, and
sealed with the British coat of arms and the
seal Of Privy Purse. The following are the
verses referred to:
Let the curfew sadly toll.
And the courts their mourning don,
IlWhile the Queen has cause to weep
For the Prince her loving son.
And her mother heart is wrung,
With au anguish all ner own,
For the fav0rite son Is gone,
" itk nations mourning moan.
Let every mothers heart respond,
While the winds their requiem tell,
With tho flags ut halfmast hanging,
Sadly toll the curfew bell.
Oh, what to the queen is sweet song,
Or the bright sunlight of day,
Or how can she see the glory,
Where the golden sunbeams play,
II the fountain Of joy Is frozen,
While grief has fullest sway,
lfonly sad arc the tones
That the beating heart throbs play?
But while empires, realms and Kingdoms
On. queen, their message send,
While nations and republics
Their words OF coincidence blend,
We here, in America,
Would have 1t known OF thee.
Thou hast from many mother,
The deepest sympathy.
And may Heaven bless and keep thee,
Through life Of peace and 10y,
To meet on some bright morning,
Tho prince, thy darling boy.
