as no trace of him could be found. Soon
afterward four other fires were started in
different parts of town. The lncendiary
fires yesterday were serious. Flames in
Pierce's clothing house were we'll under
way when discovered, but hard work saved
much of the stock. Before the firemen
left the building another alarm was ruug
in, the fire being this time in the Cottage
hotel on Main street.
RAN FOR THEIR LIVES.
"Here, also, the fire,was well under way
when discovered and the boarders had
barely time to escaDe with their lives The

Blalne's Papers Stolen.

New YORK, May 2S.-An Augusta
special says: One of Blalne's prominent
friends states that Blaiuc's house was
broken into some time ago during the
family's absence and all of the family's
political correspondence and private
papers, involving financial dealings, which
were in his library we're overhauled, care
fully examined and a portion of them alb
stracted. The matter has been kept a
secret in the hope that the thief might be
discovered, but he has never been. The
supposition is that the robbery was perpe-
trated in the expectation of obtaining
something among Blaine's private papers
which might be used to his political injury
if ever wanted. The character of the
papers stolen is unknown.

Thurman tor Vice President.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2S.-The Times
to-day says: The Democratic ticket to be
placed in nomination at the st. Louis
convention will be: For president, Grover
Cleveland; for vice president, Allen G..
Thurman of Ohio.
Thurman has consented to allow his
name to be presented and the nomination
has been rendered him with the full
knowledge and appreciation of the leading
men of the party throughout the country.
Congressman Sam Randall said yester-
day: Ex-senator Thurman will undoubt-
eddy be the nominee for the vice presl-
dency. He is agreed upon by everybody,
is willing to accept tho nomination, and is
the best and strongest man to be placed
on the ticket"
The mention of Thurman's name, 1t is
believed, will lead to the result of there
being but two ballots taken in the nation
al convention, the first for president, the
second for vice president. The South
has no candidate for vice president, but
will support New York's choice, which
will be Thurman. Pennsylvania and Ohio
will Join New York and that will be
enough to nominate. With Thurman on
the ticket Democrats will feel perfectly
safe about Indiana and will expect to
keep the Republicans busy with prevent
ing him from running away with Ohio.
