ton OF a platform by the ST. Louis convention.
With Hon. L. L. McCOmas as the sIandard-be bearer

the contest Will be lively one. Although Mr..
McComas has been elected three times, IT Is con-
ceded Col Douglas has a good lighting chance.
Having steered clear OF the factiOnal fights there

THE HISTORIC WIGWAM WHICH WAS WRECKED By
FIRE IN NEW YORK YESTERDAY.
The massive wigwam on 14th street. New York
city, which was burned yesterday, as stated
In The STAR, was about the height OF seven ordi-
nary stories, with frontage OF 116 feet and a
depth OF 122 feet, making It one OF the largest
halls and club-rooms in the city, besides allowing
enough extra room for a theater. The corner
stone was laid July 4, 1867, and the building was
completed In year at cost OF $780, OOO and dedi-
Gated ON the following Attn OF July, with Mayor
John L. Hoffman CHEZ or ceremonies, and Andrew

IL is noticeable TACT that the frSt national con.
yentiOn called by the democrats after the war was
held In this big Tammany wigwam. 1t was con-
Sidered the greatest event In the history OF the
Tammany Society, and Governor Seymour was
dominated after session or wild enthusiasm.
All the flags and bunting belonging to the Tam
many Society were ruined by the fire. Big Indian
st. Tammany was carried out OF the building in
safety. The portraits OF Cleveland and Thurman,
which II was intended TO display at the ratifica-
tiOE meeting to be held, were saved.

Mr.. and Mrs., Thurman.


Jokes are now being told about Judge Thurman,
and one OF them is Billy Armstrong; to the effect
that the judge at his house or chambers once In
vlted some gentlemen to come up and have some
thing to drink. All he could md was some apoili.
naris water, which he gravely opened and said
"Friends, Mrs. Thurman will not permit any
liquor 10 be In this house, and must oifer you
Just what get myself They drank the apOlli-
and were about TO go the judge followed them out
inro the street. 1.-The fact is, gentlemen" said he
THAT though Mrs. Thurman does run that house,
she does not, thank God. control the whole town.
L want some whisky to wash the taste OF that
apOlitnariS water out OF my mouth"
