Mr.. Blaine.

The Washington correspondent of the
Alexandria Gazette reports that Mr.. RAN
DALI says that BLAINE is as good rs nomi-
mated. That's the way we look at it. He
has the attraction Of power. lie has the
strength to draw to his support the few
votes now needed to insure his nOmina'
ton. Mr.. SIMS, OF Virginia, and several
others of the MALONE delegates, are said
to be in favor OF Mr.. BLAINE's nomination.
But what will give him the ability TO make
such combinations as will insure his sue.
cess IN the Convention is the welEknOwn
fact that he will either be the nominee OF
make the nominee. ARTHUR, therefore, is
already doomed to defeat. Look out ito

BIAIHE's standard between now and the
time for the meeting Of the Republican
National Convention.

Bay steamer Make Narrow Escape.
A special dispatch from Baltimore says !:
The handsome steamer d. ;. Ford, OF the
Chester River Steamboat Line. was totally
DESTROYED by fire ut an early hour this (Sun-
dav) morning. The steamer was bullt IN
1877. and cost $4,000. \ few weeks ago
She was completely renovated, and $4,000
was extended. The steamer was lying nj
her wharf at Chestertown, Md, when she
was burned. The fire was discovered
shortly after O'Clock this morning in The
engine-room. and the passengers and crew
made narrow escapes from being burned
alive. The passengers were asleep at the
time. but were aroused by the crew, who
nobIy stood their ground until driven
ashore by the flames. Many OF the passen-
gers. two of whom were ladies. were COM
pelled TO flee in their night-ciothes.
William Howard. mate OF the steamer,
was asleep in the pilot-house when be was
aroused by the cry Of fire. When he re-
allied the steamer was atirc he was hem
med in by the flames, and in ehectlng his
escaDe his clothing was burned and his
face and hands badly bliStered. All the
others O. the crew, as also the passengers,
eScaped unhurt, though their clothing was
DESTROYED. 1t was a lucky thing the fire
was discovered while at the wharf, for had
il not been discovered until the steamer
was i'm the bay several OF the passengers
would have lost their lives. 1t was with
difficulty they could be induced to 60 upon
the wharf and not JUMP overheard when
there was an opportunity to reach land in
safety. President Warfeld, OF the Chester
River Steamboat Company, says the vessel
was only partly insured.
