OcALA, FLA, Feb. 20.-The Marion
county alliance held secret meeting at
Hickory Springs Tuesday. but some of the
business transacted is leaking out and
causing comment and political excitement.
Not only did they ignore Hon. John F..
Dunn as their candidate for United States
senator, but pledgedgsupport to Henry w.
Long. This move meets with the disap-
proval Of the whole district. They also
made the Ocala Banner their official or
gan, instead Of the Marion Free Press, the
latter paper having been the official organ
for over year. The outcome OF the meet
ing is rumored to have been the direct re-
suit OF the wishes of a few party leaders,
and not in accord with the wishes of ma
jority Of the alliancemen.

WORK OF THE FLAMES.
, Destruction of the Old Commercial
Advertiser Building in New York.

Fire broke out in the old CONNER
cial Advertiser building, ON the south
west corner of Fulton and Nassau
streets, New York city, at 9:15 o'clock
Tuesday morning. In fifteen min
utes the fire had gained such Roadway
as to be beyond control. The flames
were seen first to burst through the
windows on the second floor, occupied
by Gibbs tailoring establishment.
There were many people in the build
ing, and some had to slide down the
fire escapes for life through the dense
smoke. 1t is believed all escaped.
Dense clouds of black smoke rolled
up from the fire, attracting crowds of
people, who filled the streets and
surged madly into Fulton street, Civ
ing the police all they could do to
keep the space clear for The firemen.
AT 10 AS o'clock the outer walls of
the entire Fulton street front fell with
a crash, and so great was the concus-
sion that windows were shattered in
the Bennett building, but no one was
injured.
The total loss on stock and building
is estimated at 100000, most of
which is insured. This includes $780,
900 on the stock of Ira Perego, gem
tlemen's furnishing goods dealer. So
far as can be learned, only two per-
sons were injured at the fire. They
are William Wilson, tailor, who in
jured his ankle while dropping from
the fire escape, and Samuel Roxburv,
engineer, whose arms were burned.
Other estimates place the loss be-
tween five hundred and seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. A lot of
loose diamonds, which were on the
tables of diamond workers in the
building, were lost. They were valued
at several thousand dollars.
Among the heroic acts at the fire
was one by letter carrier No. 1864,
who extracted the mail from the letter
box in front of the building. When
the front wall of the building fell out,
not only the letter box, but the lamp
post on which it hung, was demol-
ished.
Douglass Taylor, printer, who oc-
cupied the third floor of Nos. 81 and
80 Nassau street, stated this afternoon
that he had stock and material valued
at SOC, 900, but that on account of the
unsafe condition of the building, he
could only obtain seventeen thousand
dollars worth of insurance. He had
fifty men employed, but he believes
that they all got out safely.
