SMYRNA, June 24.-The cry of 'fire,
fire. help !" from the cell of the city hall
about o'clock this morning aroused the
neighboring citizens in time to extin-
guish what would most likely have been
a serious confagration. The bed cloth.
ing in the cell was in blaze and the
floor was burned entirely through in two
places. John Truitt, the negro man who
was put in the cell last night, and who
gave the alarm, is supposed to have
started the fire with the intention of
burning hole in the floor large enough
to admit his escape. but the fire soon got
beyond his control and forced him to
sound the alarm.

ELKToN, June 21.-The bitter factional
fight in the Democratic party of Cecil
county eliminated yesterday at the pri-
maries which were held in each of the
nine election districts between the hours
of 3 and z in the afternoon. The result
was victory of what is known as the
combination forces, or anti Constable men
over Albert Constable. The anti-Con-
stable men claim their victory is
glorious one and that out of the 40 dele
gates which will attend the county con-
vention on Tuesday at least 32 are op-
posed to Albert Constable. The friends
of the latter think they will have n better
standing in the convention than the
others assert.
In the First or Cecilton district occurred
one of the most interesting contests in
the county. Feeling ran high and large
vote was polled. The delegation, which
was elected by majority of 60, is in the
interest of ex-member of the house of
delegates William Ward for state senator
and William Deshane for county conf
missioner. The defeated delegation was
for William s. Potter, ut present presi-
dent of the board of county commits
sioners, who was a candidate for the
house of delegates. Ward and Deshane
were associated with Constable in the
fight. The delegation in this district is
also favorable to William p. Howard,
for clerk of the circuit court. In the
Second chesapeake Uity) district there
was no contest. The ticket in the interest
of William p. Howard for clerk received
14S votes. In the Third or Elkton dis
trict there was very warm time
Democracy was ON the rampage. There
were more drunken men in Elkton than
for long time, and there were several
places where thirsty voters could be re-
freshed. One of our ministers recog-
nized the powers of king rum at Cecil
county primary, as he prayed this
morning that the time might
soon arrive when an election could be
conducted without it. There were numer-
GUS contests over doubtful voters. Every
now and then great hubbub would be
raised over this. Is he Democrat or II
Republican, Is he of age or minor?
Does he live in the district or not ? These
were the questions raised and fought
over. There was very large vote cast,
the poll being SIS, over 60 more than
We're cast for Cleveland.
The ticket elected is in the interest of
Reuben Z. Jamar for register of wills
and Clinton Mccullough for the state
senate. Part of it is also for Howard
for clerk of the court. The defeated
ticket would have supported Albert
Constable for house of delegates, james
A. Lewis for register of wills, ex-Sheriff
Morris Dunbar for county commissioner
and W. z. Howard for clerk. The follow
ing is the full vote of the district:

Banner P, esentation.

vile Pacific Co., of a beautiful silk
banner, given by Miss Augusta
We'll in the name of Mrs. G. Gel
ger. The young lady in present
ing the beautiful gift, said:
Young Gentlemen:
You have turned out to-day in
your bright uniforms you have
brought with you your engine of
snch wonderful beauty, that it
looks mere like an ornamental
work than a thing fitted for the
rough usages to which it is some
times put; and You have sweet mu-
sic, too. Nature seems to take part
in your rejoicing; the birds are
singing, the flowers are in bloom
and the trees have put on their new
suits as if to do honor to this your
holiday. Your beaming faces show
that pleasure which can alone move
the hearts of those blest by their
country's wishes. We appreciate
the noble purposes of your body
we are proud to be citizens of the
same Town, and mingle our rejoic-
ings with yours. Loving all as
von do we wish to do our utmost to
show our love in return and add
our mite to the pleasures of the day.
We would, if we could, transform
our wishes into flowers, bound with
the ribbons of love, and strew them
in your path. We know they would
be taken to your breasts and worn
forever next to your hearts.
The staff of this banner, pointing
upwards, represents the lofty devo-
ton of your souls. It's beauty is a
reflection of the purity and the no.
bic impulses of your hearts; it is
an emblem of the love which all
bear you, and a token of the esteem
and high regard felt for each and
every one of you by Mrs. Geiger.
In her name, and on her behalf,
I offer it to you. Take it, and af-
ter to-day's festivities, softly fold it
away, and carefully guard it in re-
membrance of this occasion.
The banner was received by Mas
ter Henry E. Radcliffe, one of the
officers of the Juvenile Paci6cs,
who made a few appropriate re-
marks.

THE PARADE WHAT
WAS DONE DURING THE DAY.
AN EVENT OF PLEASURE.

Yesterday was Firemen's or Pa

long be remembered, both for the
pleasure and mirth had on the oc-
casion, as we'll as for the bringing
together IN glad reunion all of our
people, who as was plainly shown
on the day just passed, are ever in
accord with the "tire ladies"
The day, IS some had predicted,
was most favorable, being a mild
one, just such an one as we of the
Sunny South can justly boast.
At an early hour all was life in
and around the Engine and Truck
rooms-the ladies decorating and
the men running to and fro making
their necessary preparations.
THE PARADE.

formed IN line, and promptly at 10

The steam Engine had little or
no ornaments and except a
large boquet in the smoke stack,
and a large floral wreath near the
front. 1t was drawn by four hor-
SEES, two bays and two greys, and
looked pretty indeed, shining and
glistening like a new silver dollar.
The truck was handsomely dec
grated with beautiful gondolalike
boat, with peacock head and tail.
The latter served as canopy for the
Hooks queen, Miss Pauline Rosen-

white and blue, and was attended
by four young lads, who he Id
their hands on golden oars. and
carried as sun protectors Japanese
parasols Near the front of the
truck were too large urns filled with
flowers of all kinds. Other kinds of
decorations were pro!use. and being
large in size the truck showed to
much advantage. The wreath given
by Mrs. Geigpr was placed near the
canopy aud served to fill the vacant
space. 1t was finely finished.
