Representative Prices Successor.
The republican convention to nominate q sue
cessor to the late Congressman Price, OF the eighth
Wisconsin district, has been called to meet at Eau
Claire, January O, and the prohibitionist conven-
ton to meet at the same place December 2S. A
dispatch from Eau Claire says: In the face of the
majority of over 1000, dncluding, however, the
prob1bitiOntst votel by which the republicans car
ried the district last year, the democracy shows
no disposition to nominate, but will go through
the form OF holding convention, though 1t is not
likely that there Will be democratic nomination.
me prohlbltlonists are likely to nominate DR..
Charles Alexander, OF this city, who ran for
neutenant-gOvernOr on the cold water ticket last
campaign. 1t Is believed that the choice Of the
republican convention will hinge upon Eau
Claire county, and Will be from three men-ex-
Senator Michael Guffin, George B. Shaw and Ira b.
Bradford, with the chances In favor OF the former
The suggestion originated at Black River Falls
that Hugh II. Price be elected to MI his fathers
unexpired term, and the Milwaukee Risconsin
fav0rs 1t, and says: The polite feature OF the
movement lies In this, that the prohibition vote
OF the district, which Is very strong would unite
with the republican vote for his election, but
would hardly be given to any other republican
candidate. In the event OF q failure to nominate
Mr.. Price dtsttnctively prohibition candidate will
be put in the field. MIR. Price would accept nOmt-
nation only for the short term Forty ninth Con-
greSs ana II is beyond question that his selection
would materially strengthen the republican can
d1date tor the F1ftteth Congress, who would OF
course be voted for at the same special election.

CHANGING THE NAMES.
fayette Square TO Bear Historical
Names

Capt symons, under the direction of Col Lud-
low, has given orders which viii probably require
the ladies living on Lafayette square to change
their visiting cards or subject their friends here
after to considerable confusion. The order is
simple one, changing the street signs on lamp
posts about the square. A law or ordinance OF the
old corporation approved February Is. 1859, and
which has since slumbered in tnnocuous desuetude
has been unearthed at the District buildings. This
ordinance is as follows: "That the street imme-
diately west of Lafayette square, running north
from the Executive Mansion to street, shall
hereafter be known and designated as jackson
place; and that the street Immediately east OF La
fayette square, running north from the Executive
Mansion to ii street, shall hereafter he known and
designated as Madison place: provided, that the
mayor upon approving this joint resolution shall
obtain the assent OF the President OF the United
States 10 the same" The approval of President
Buchanan. under date Of February 22, 1853, is af-
fixed to the measure. The street on the west,
named by this ordinance Jackson place, Is now Ia
beled on the lamppOsts as 16E street, and that on
the east, called Madison place, Is automatically
labeled as 15k street. The order issued by Capt.
Symons is to change the lamppost signs TO con-
form with the provisions or the old ordinance.
Hereafter Jackson place and Madison place Will
ngure in accounts OF social life at the capital.

Never Heard Of DiIks.

WASHINGTON HAS CHIEF OF POLICE ALREADY.
Astory has been again started in New York that
changes are about to be made in the police depart
ment there, owing to the prospective transfer OF
one OF the inspectors Of the New York department
to this city to chief of police here The inspec
tor named for the office Of chief OF the Washington
police this time Is Dilks. When the story flrst
published the inspector named was steers, but
the Commissioners effectually denied the story
then by appointing Col. w. G. Moore as CHIEF OF
police. when a STAR reporter showed Commits
sioner Wheatley the new story about Dilks to-day,
Mr. Wheatley said: 'sThere is not the slightest
truth in it, and never was any foundation for It.
nor any other New York man was ever mentioned
for the ofce in the councils OF the Commissioners"

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July 3l.-Fire
broke out in the No. 2 mill of the Indian
Orchard Mills Company, at about $3.50
O'Clock this morning, and the en-
tire mill, which was thirty five
feet long and four stories high,
is in ruins. The walls are fiat, ex-
cept at the east end. The flames were
confined to the mill building. Had
there been breeze nothing
could have saved the buildings
surrounding 1t. The cause of the fire is
not definitely known, but it is supposed
TO have been an explosion of gas. The
watchman had visited the spot where 1t
broke out only two minutes before, and
when the alarm was given the flames
were well under way. The mill furnished
employment for about 800 hands. The loss
is roughly estimated at 100000.
