Destructive Fire.
New LISBON. WIS. August 11-Camp Doug

the cry Of fire was raised. 1t seems that lamp
exploded in Buffmiers saloon. but the flames
had been nearly smothered, and thinking that
all was over the crowd left The fire took new
start. however. and in about ten minutes was be-
yond control. The fire spread rapidly throughout
the business portion till it reached the Camp
Douglass Hotel. 1t then crossed the Omaha
tracks and set fire to the Commercial House
and the depot. Although all this happened in
a very few minutes the soldiers out at their
camps had been notified and they had assem-
bled and succeeded in saving nearly all the
goods in the hotels and stores, besides the
whole of the business part Of the village
Many dwelling houses were burned. there
being nothing left but a few residences in the
southwestern part of the town. The wind
blew from the south and kept the fire
burning 80 rapidly that the fire engines
from Mauston and Tomsh. which had been
sent for as soon as it was evident that the fire
had good start, reached there too late The
total loss is estimated at about S150, 0O0 Some
of the losses are as follows:
George Frohmader, general merchandise
IS, 900; Buffmier's saloon and dwelling, 81 800.
JohnsOn's store, building and stock, $4,000:
Lynn Hotel, $1,000; Singleton's Hotel and

HOTTEST DAY OF THE SEASON.
The Mercury Stood at 81 in New York a
Noon.

NEW YORK, August 1l.-Ninety-four in the
shade. That is what reliable thermometer
registered in lower Broadway at noon, with a
certainty of more heat by A o'clock this after
noon. This is the hottest day Of the season and
the hottest August day in twenty years.
The effect upon the city is far more
serious than most people imagine. Per-
sons are overcome by the heat in
hundreds and actual sunstroke befalls
scores Of people. The aggravation Of other
diseases by the heat is incslculsble ard chill
dren. especially nursing babes and teething
little ones, suffer untold miseries.
The hospitals are crowded with poor suppli-
cants for treatment for the ailments generated
by the weather and the STATS of physicians are
overworked and many of the attendants are
fit subjects for treatment themselves. Sun
stroke has carried of, directly or indirectly,
a dozen persons in the last twenty-four hours
and there are scores of others in the hospitals.
The suffering caused by the heat has been in
tensifed by yeritable plague of mosquitoes.
Sunday night these venomous little pests
made their appearance by the million and
drove all persons indoors. The oldest inhab-
itants declared that they had never experienced
anything of the kind before and wondered
what they had done to be so afflicted.
At2 o'clock this afternoon a thunder storm
relieved the oppressiveness somewhat

Delegates to the Peoples Party Convention
at Baltimore Doned Their Coats.
BALTIMORE, August 1.-THE convention Of
the peoples party of Maryland was very slow
in getting to work today The delegate,
are for the most part farmers, and how tc
keep cool seemed to be the chief prob
lem to solve in the presence of the
present very hot spell Of weather The shelte,
Of the bush and brush, the tree and haystacE
and the cooling winds as they come through
the pines and up by brook and over meadow
were much missed. Coats are very sensitly
put aside and fans are the only banners way
ing.
This is the third convention in MARYLAND Of
the peoples party or Farmers Alliance
1t is conducted with closed doors; that
be present at the proceedings. and information
OF what Is done will only be given out by a
committee on publication" which committee
had not been appointed when a recess wal
taken till O'Clock.
The convention was called to order by Presi
dent Hugh Mitchell Of Port Tobacco. Il. Can.
field jenkins of Pomonkew was secretary
Inc other officers are vice-president
/: A. Benson of Royal Oak, treasurer; DIR. Jos
Blandford of Il. b. and State Lecturer r. d.
bradley OF baltimore: They we're ali present.
The call OF the roll showed that the dele
gates were present from tire regular organiza-
ton OF the Farmers Alliance i'll Anne Arundel
Alegany, Dorchester, Caroline, Charles. st.
Marys, Prince Georges, Kent, Talbot,
WicomIco, Worcester and Somerset, and from
the suballiances in Washington, Calvert. Balti-
more, Cecil and Howard counties
President Mitchell submitted his report.
Since the last annual meeting the number OF
alliances has been more than doubled, while
the membership has increased nearly three
fold.
1t was stated that before the first of Novem-
Der sub-alliances will be formed in each Of the
thirteen districts of Baltimore county.
1t is probable that the convention will re-
affirm the platform adopted at the national
convention Of the Farmers Alliance at Ocala,
Fla, some months since.
A leading member of the convention said to-
day that all the branches of the alliance have
been organized under the Ocala declaration of
principles and he with others could see no rea-
son for making any departure therefrom.
The convention will last for two days and
the present officers will serve until
the close as the officers for the
ensuing year will not be elected until just prior
to the final adjournment
The convention, it is believed, will nominate
Frank Brown for governor. Mr.. Brown is the
democratic nominee for governor.

DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.
Meeting of the Executive Committee of the
National Association.

Meeting of the Executive Committee of the
National Association.
NEW YORK, August 1.-the intense heat
seems to have had no effect in preventing q
full attendance Of the meeting Of the executive
committee of the National Association Of Demo-
cratic Clubs at the Hoffman House today.
Nearly all the members of committee ana a
considerable number of vice presidents of the
organization met at noon today.
Before the meeting was called to order most
OF the committee called on Chauncey F. Black
1t his room at the Albemsrle and were pleas
antly entertained.
The national convention Of democratic clubs
will be held sixty days after the national con-
vention is held.
The real work Of the clubs will
be during the presidential campaign, and
il is the opinion Of most Of the
committee that only the ground work of more
effective organization be laid at present in the
way Of selecting plan Of action, etc.
Experience has demonstrated that clubs or
ganized too far ahead are apt to
lose their energy and usefulness by premature
enthusiasm So il has been decided to
let them be quiet until after the national demo-
cratic convention is held, when full steam will
be turned on

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE stock market re-

DISAPPEARED FORTY YEARS AGO.
The Skeletons Found of q Couple Who Were
Murdered in 1871

MUScIE, IND, August lin the fall Of 1851
a covered two-horse wagon, occupied by man
and his wife, en- route from Virginia for some
place in the far west, stopped in the dense
woods, where now stands the pretty suburb Of
Boyceton. Two days later some one passing
by noticed the horses wandering off. Captur-
them he returnedlto the wagon, but found no
one there.
A search was made, but the man and woman
were not found. The excitement was intense
for time, though it finally died away and the
mysterious disappearance OF the people was
never explained. Their names were notknown
and no information concerning them could be
obtained.
Yesterday a small boy found the skeletons of
two persons, undoubtedly those of a man and
woman, and brought them to this city. After
the boy told where he found them-on top Of a
gravel bank in a secluded place--ths strange
disappearance of the two people forty years
ago was recalled and it is the general opinion
that the skelstons are those of the man and
woman who so mysteriously disappeared and
that they we're murdered.

LONDON, August 11.-Cable dispatches from
Balmacedan source in Santiago de Chilli
have been received here denying the re-
ports that fighting has taken place be-
tween the government troops and the
insurgent forces at Valparaiso and COquimbo
On August 8, according to these dispatches, the
government torpedo boat Almirante
Condell attacked the congressional party's
cruiser Esmeralda and number Of transports
at Csldera- A number Of torpedoes were dis
charged from the Almirante Condell, but az the
attack WAS made at night and 1t was very dark the
results are not known, but none Of the rebel
vessels has since been seen near the provinces
held by President Balmaceda.
The dispatches further state that the reports
as to the relations between Chill and Bolivia,
growing out Of the latter's recogni-
ton Of the insurgents - belligerents,
one of which reports was that Chill had de-
clared war against Bolivia, are untrue, and
that the stories Of cruel punishments
inflicted by the government are
pure inventions. The government simply
arrests those who are supposed to be aiding
and abetting the rebels and sends them to
Iquique.
