At JohnstOwn-A Panic for Time, but the Flames
Finally Subdusd- Fast Coming Out
Of OonflsiOn-New Houses
Going Up.

JoHNsTowN, PA, June 24-The fire
which broke out shortly after noon to-day
in the First Ward consumed all but three
of the buildings in the district bounded
by Market, Walnut and Main streets and
the river. Twenty-Five houses were total
ly destroyed including the large brick
school house Many of the buildings de-
stroyed had been washed from their foun-
datiOn, though many of them
contained household goods which had been
saved from the flood but small amounts of
goods were saved. The fire is supposed to
have originated from sparks flying from
burning debris in the neighborhood. The
Philadelphia fire companies here on duty
fought the flames, which for time got be-
yound their control, and only subdued
them by tearing down houses in their
path. The loss mas not yet been fixed.
Elk CoRPsEs BLOWN TO PIECES.
This afternoon between and 3 O'Clock
charge of dynamite was exploded near
the second arch franz the east end of the
bridge and from the great body of wreck
age tossed in the air, pieces of human
bodies flew in all directions and the rem
nants afterwards gathered together indica-
ted at least six corpses had been blown
up. They were doubtless all close togeth-
er near where the dynamite was discharged.
Much of drift which has been dislodged
from the stone bridge, has lodged in
various places extending So far below as

of the OOnemaugh river is narrowed to a

A Squall Brewing in the Buckeye Conventon-The
Governor Has the Nomination, bat Il Will
Stir Up Bitter fractional Strife
On Every Side.

COLUMBUS, June 24.-Some OF the Re-
publicans from different parts of the State
are coming in tonight for the convention.
The party is deeply agitated throughout
the State over the probability of Governor
Foraker's nomination for a third term.
He will accept the nomination if rendered,
and his lieutenants are now at work in his
interest. He said to-day: 81 am not a
candidate, but if the convention sees proper
to nominate me l shall accept the uomina-
ton"
''Then it is not true, as published in a
New York paper, that you will decline a
nomination."
81 never made such a statement and
never authorized any one TO make such
statement for me-"
"Will you receive the nomination.
THAT is entirely in the hands OF the
convention"
The five large counties of Hamilton,
Montgomery, Lucas Cuyahog, and Frank
lin, sending nearly one-fourth OF the S2S
delegates, are practically solid for Gov
ernor Foraker, and it is evident tonight
that he has sufficient delegates to secure
the nomination. He will either be nomi-
mated or the honor will 20 to some friend
whom he may select.
Protests against FOraker's nomination
are already coming in from the rural dis
tricts, predicting overwhelming defeat Of
the third term. If the name Of the Gov
ernor is formally presented to the Conven-
ton, there will be a sensational scene.
The plan of his friends is to allow several
ballots for the dozen other candidates. and
then spring Foraker's name and carry him
through with hurrah.

GREASY EXCITEMENT.
An Old Time Boom in the Petroleum
Market.

An Ola Time Boom In the petroleum
Market.
NEW YORK, JUNE 24.-There was an
old-time boom in the petroleum market
to-day, and to the bears who had sold pipe
lire certificates short it seemed that a cy-
clone had struck the market, so sudden
was the advance. For weeks dullness had
prevailed in the oil market, and on recent
days the trading has been insignificant in
volume and the fluctuations ranged within
the nsrrowest limits. On Saturday the
movement was confined to fluctuation of
&c ell dag. To-day the market opened
firm at S35c. There were several buying
orders put in by Standard Oil people, and
the prices moved slowly up until noon,
when it sold at s4sc. Then without any
development in the way OF news,
there was flood of buying
orders given out in all the principle mark
ats both by Standard Oil .eople and pro-
ducers, and before half an hour bad
passed the price reached ninety-five. A
reaction of five points followed, bat at
ninety the Standard Oil brokers continued
the principal buyers. The greatest ex-
citement prevailed on the Consolidated
Exchange to-day in consequence of the
jump in prices. The cause of the sudden
advance was the fact that the STANDARD
people had brought about settlement o
their agreement with the Producers Pro
tective Association, which was not expect
ed to expire until July l By this agree
ment the Standard OIL Company had th'
call on three and one-half millions barrel
of oil held by the Association at sixty-twC
cents with charges since Nov. 1, 1887.
