and Gen. j. 4. Fay and the saloon of n.

The fire was started by some varnish
boiling over in Chews' store. In the cen
ter of the building was ii rotunda which
caused a draft that swept the flames
through the entire interior in a few min
utcs. The inmates were able to save but
few goods and some almost lost their
lives. y, II. Clark. son of the eX con
gresham. was nearly suffocatcd in his
office and was rescued at a window. Ex-
Judge a. l.. Ward was found partially
overcome on the stairs and was carried
out by Q~uartcrmaster Hawkins Of the
Third regiment. Hon. +. NJ. Voorhees,

Hancock, Mich, April 1.-The Pewa-
bic mine is still on fire with a change for
the worse since yesterday. The Quincy
Mining company has stopped the draft
connecting them with the Pcwabic prop
erty and they have resumed work. The
Franklin mine is connected with the
Pewabic in SO many places it is imposi-
BILE to stop the mouths Of all the drafts.
II is thought the Pewabic will be greatly
damaged by the burning away of her
supporting timbers and the destruction
of the main engine shaft and equip
mcnts. Some 800 men are out Of work.

Louisville. KY, April II. The Ken.
lucky constitutional convention today
completed the constitution to be offered
and adjourned at l2:iO p. m.. after being
in session 100 days. 1t has cost the state
about S2oD.on and made very many
changes in the old fundamental law of
the state. Some of these are recognized
AS wise but very many are untricd and
are considered of uncertain benefit. On
account Of the latter the new constitu-
ton will be opposed by many strong
public men and may be rejected by the
people when voted upon in August.

THE BUTTE ELECTION.
The Republicans still Hunting for Candi-
dates.

dates.
BUTTE, April 1O.-The republicans are
making a sorry spectacle of their city
campaign, and although their convention
met and adjourned they are still Eon the
hunt for candidates. Several of the nom
inees have already discovered that they
are ineligible, and others on the ticket
who have no desire to be martyrcd are
busily engaged looking for flaws in their
individual qualifications.
The resignation OF W. Nee. White,
who was nominated for mayor in the re-
publican convention on Wednesday af-
ternoon, was rendered to the republican
city central committee the same evening,
addressed to Ed S. Booth as acting
chairman. He quotes the section of the
corporation act setting forth the qualiti-
cations of anyone holding the office of
mayor. admits his residence here has
been less than two years, and
that ne could not qualify if
elected. The committee met yes
terday. and after casting about
for some II who would not refuse
their nomination. the choice fell on G.. j.
't'N'iiN'l' wiz idt'Iy o'CuDltu tIlt IoSl-
ton of boiler inspector. He was APP
pointed to the position under IA demo
cratic governor, and was allowed to re-
tain the position by Governor Toole after
his election. This fact gave rise to an
impression among many who heard of
the action of the republican central
committee yesterday that it had selected
a democrat to head the republican
ticket.
Among democrats the nomination af-
fords unmixed satisfaction, as is felt that
he has no chance against IA man so pop
uiar and so well known as Mr.. Mueller.
Since the expiration of his term as boiler
inspector Mr.. Stevenson was placed in
charge as custodian of the stock of J. r.
Boyce. Jr.. a. Co. by the sheriff. which
position he resigned yesterday. He is an
engineer by profession. but is not en-
gagged in his business at present.

A DARING PLAN.
Tn" Kansas Alliance Will Bring
a Novel Campaign Issue.

KANSAS CIri, April ll.-Since the
Farmers alliance has taken hold of af-
fairs in Kansas many surprising things
have been done, but the most unique
and daring plan which has been evolved
by that body is the reported scheme TO
build a trunk railroad line across the
state. 1t is said that this proposition
VIII he made the issue of the next DO
lItical fight in Kansas by the alliance.
The plan is for the state government to
construct a trunk line about 80 or 300
miles in length and for the counties to
build a network of branches that will
touch every point in the state. 1t is said
the right OF way privileges would be do
mated IN every instance. Frank Nc
Grath, president of the Kansas alliance,
was IN the city today. When asked
about the plan he was very reticent, but
admitted that such "a scheme was under
consideration by the alliance.

the almost wholesale poisoning of chIl-

S%CoTTDALE, Pa. April 13. There was

WINTER WHEAT
The April showing the Highest R-ported
Since 1859,

WASHINGTON, April l0.--April returns
OF the department of agriculture make
the condition of winter wheat 500. The
general acreage for the condition is the
highest reported for April since 1882,
and individual state averages are re-
markable for their uniformity. 1t is 1G
points higher than last year. and 3 above
above the returns for 1889. The high
April condition does not insure a large
yield, but it indicates strength and vital
ity which would enable the plant to
withstand more than ordinary vicissi-
ude OF the season. The nearest an
proach to the present condition during
recent years was in 1884, when the larg.
EST crop ever grown was harvested, but
a similar high condition in 1886 was fol.
lowed by a crop of little more than aver
age proportions. Averages of condition
in principle states are.

SCARED OFF by WOMEN.
Two Would-hr Burglars Who Left Their
Nerve at Home,

HELENA, April l1.-There are two la.
dies on the east side who are not afraid
OF burglars. At the same time there arc
two burglars somewhere around these
parts who are very much afraid of
women. In broad day light on Thurs,
day they made an attempt to enter the
rear part Of a residence near the intersec-
tor OF Rodney street and Eleventh ave
nue.. The lady of the house and another
who was with her heard the noise and
started for the back of the house, armed
with brooms, pokers and other useful
articles OF a household. The two men
saw them coming and beat a hasty re-
treat. Over fences and across lots they
went as If pursued by a posse of police
men. They were seer later on changing
their clothes on a vacant lot, presumably
with the idea of preventing identified
ton. This, however, was a useless pre-
caution, as their retreat was so rand
that they did not give the ladies a chance
to get a description of them. The police
are therefore in possession of no cline to
their identity. "
