CHARLESTON, W. Va. March 15.-The
unfortunate occurrence between sena-
tor Knott and Mr.. Tracy last night ia
universally regretted hero, but senti-
ment Ia generally favorable TO Mr.. Tracy
and there are many expressions Of sur
prise at the course Of Senator Knott, and
his refusal to make proper amends is ad-
versely commented on. Tracy was only
acting in the discharge Of his duty and
Knott's action could be placed In no
other light than that Of resisting arrest.
His conduct has certainly not added to
his list Of friends,
There was o general exodus OF mem.
hers to-day, although many left yester-
day and q few remain until tomorrow.
Delegates White, Simpson, Corcofan,
Senator Whitaker and Hons. 7. s. Riley,
J. B. sommerville and others who have
been here among the lookerson, left for
their home this morning accompanied
as far as Parkersburg by the Wood coun.
ty delegates. Mr.. PnRh, Mr.. Garden,
Mr.. Stewart and Senator Campbell aud
vile are in Norfolk and will return home
in a few days. George A. Howard and
vile accompanied them east, Delegates
Hanen, Shaw and others left tonight.
Senators Morris and Parkes will leave
The session has been rather remark
able for general good feeling among the
members except for one or two out
bursts, which soon blew over. Senator'S
2. W. Morris aud Gen. Watts are par
tioularly firm friends and although as
far apart as the antipodes politically,
personally they have warmest Of feelings
for each other.
Delegate Randall, OF Harrison county,
10 mentioned "a candidate for member
OF the Worlds Fair board, although no
petitions were circulated in his behalf.
He has strong backing and his prospects
for appointment seem fair. Mrs. Judge

SYRACUSE, March l5.-Syracuse never
opened its eyes on such a spectacular
drama as reused her from her morning
slumber yesterday. Hardly were the
early risers astir when the whole popu.
laton was suddenly roused by cries Of
"Firel The Hogan block is going, and
all Fayette street IS Roingl"
The first show OF FIRE was at $3.50
O'Clock. The fire soon spread to the
north side Of West Fayette street, and
Chief Reilly quickly saw that the threat.
ened destruction was too great for his
apparatus to fight. He wired Oswego
and Rome to send aid, and he had hard.

out warning from the top Of Roscoe

iDgton street, four blocks away.
A flying brand from West Faystta
street had caused it, and before the over
worked fremen could send relief this
second fire was also beyond control, with
only q single stream playing upon It.
at $3.50 O'Clock fierce conaagration
was raging in two upper floors Of the
Yates block. A moment or two later
there was q tremendous crash, and an
immense volume OF smoke was thrown
out from the burning building, which the
flames rose high above the ruins below.
I A cry OF horror went up from the
crowd and every body felt that a man was
lost. The wall for about the distance
from the Montgomery street corner to !
the Roscoe building had fallen in, crush.
ing the floors below and bringing them
with 1t to the ground. When the smoke |
cleared away, as it did ina moment or
two under the sweeping action Of the
flames, the man was seen in the act OF
raisinga window, which he Immediately
closed and as quickly raised again.
The fire was raging all about him, and
the feeling was that he was doomed be.
yond all possibility Of escape. He was
not seen TO emerge from any other part
of the building, and 1t Is thought that
he perished in the flames.
About 8 o'clock the Oswego relief
came by special train, having made the

The flames, urged on by the gale,

estimated at 81 600 600.
