ALL IN A TURMOIL.
The Conference Finds Difficulty In
Securing Union on Anything.

CINCINNATI, May 19.-In the National
Union convention today Captain @. A. Pow
er of Indiana read the official call for the
rose as their names were called. The organ
izations included ex-Federal and Confeder-
ate soldiers, the Farmers Alliance, Citizens
Alliance, knights of Labor and Colored
Farmers Alliance. Mr.. Rightmeir of Kan
sas read the supplemental call issued from
Topeka in February last. Hon. Charles Z.
Cunningham of Arkansas was introduced as
temporary chairman. and a little wrangle en-
sued as to whether the states should be
called for members Of committees or the va
rious national organizations named In the
call should make nominations of committee
men. The first plan was beaten after the
conference had mixed itself in a seemingly
order and questions of privilege. at 800 p.
m. the convention had only completed one OF
It's committees, that on credentials.
The first real excitement In the convention
was caused by Ignatius Donnelly of Mime
sofa, who moved, to save time, that the ap-
p0intment Of committeeman by each state be
completed in lump, each state naming all
Its committeeman at once, including It's mem
Der OF the national committee. There in
stantly went up roar Dozens of delegates
were on their feet shouting for a chance to
speak the first blow in the fight for or against
the immediate organization of national
third party. IfDonnelly's motion was car
ried the convention was impliedly commit
teed to Immediate organization and all hope
OF postponing such action was thrown to the
winds.
General J. B. Weaver Of Iowa denounced
Mr.. Donnelly's proposition as an attempt to
pledge the convention on the sly to the most
vital action without one word Of discussion
Mr.. Donnelly disclaimed any intention to
take undue advantage.
Again there was prolonged hubbub, end
ed by Chairman Cunningham declaring Mr..
D0nnelly's mttion out Of order. The names
Of the members of the committee on resolu-
tions were announced, there being one from
each state, with instructions to at once begin
the work of the convention platform. Among
them are w. ID. Smith of Maine. Ignatius
Donnelly and General Weaver.

THE LOAD BECAME TOO HEAVY AT LAST
Davis Shoe Company of Lynn Can
Not Meet Its Obligations.
Its Founders Brave Struggle to Re-
pair Losses Caused by Others.
The Concern Has Factories In Lynn
and Kennebunk, ME-.

LYNN. Mass. May 19.-News of the as
signment of the Davis Shoe Company and
Hon. Joseph Davis of Lynn, reached this
city late this afternoon and caused wide
spread CONSERVATION. The assignment in
cludes all the real estate owned by Mr.. DAY.
is. The Davis Shoe Company is an incorpor-
ated company with paid up capital of $780,
600. They have large shoe factory In oper-
alton in this city and large one in Kenne-
bunk, Me-, and also have a contract for con-
vict labor In the Virginia state prison at
Richmond, where they manufacture shoes.
Mr.. Davis has always been respected by ev-
erybody. He was seen this evening and
gave brief statement. Up to 1885 he was
very prosperous In his business career. For
1885 to the amount Of $1,000, in the firm Of
Il. III. Garry & Co., Boston, note brokers and
dealers in commercial paper. By the fail
uTe OF that concern, according to law, he
was only liable for $65,000. but on finding
that many of his friends had dealings with
the firm, presumably on account Of their
knowledge. that he was apartner, he dropped
S225,OOO, paying everybody. He found the
hrm had been carrying friends of his who
needed help and he put the most of them on
their feet. Last winter when the panic
came, he had to advance more money. Final
ly the load became too heavy and the assign
ment resulted. Quite number of failures
of parties whom Mr.. Davis has been
helping financially will no doubt result fro m
the assignment. Mr.. Davis feels confident
that IL the creditors will work with him, he
can pay everybody almost, IL not quite, in
full. Much sympathy is expressed for Mr..
Davis and already proffers of assistance are
made. He lost quite heavily by the Potter
Lowell failure and the failure of the Simkin-
son Shoe Company of Cincinnati.

FOUGHT FIERCE FLAMES.
HALF Million Gone In Fire and
Smoke at Jacksonville.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. May 19.-At about
midnight last night fire was discovered in
the Mohawk building which was destroy ed.
AT about a. m. the flames communicated to
the brick block owned by Charles Britz,
west of the Mohawk building. This was all
ablaZe in short time. Nothing in 1t was
saved. 1t was three stories high and was
used in the basement for the storage of liq-
uOrs and restaurant stock. The other floors
were occupied by families. The heat from
the burning pile extended across Bay street
and at one time all the window castings of
the Carleton Hotel were smoking, and In one
or two instances, ignited. The firemen aban-
doned the burning building and played Wig.
orOusly upon the hotel and the adjacent
block on the west. Both were saved. The
next building west of the BritZ building was
the elegant three-story brick and iron build
ing owned by John Clark and occupied by
him on the two upper floors as store rooms
for liquors, wines and groceries, and, on the
lower floor, by the United States government
as bonded warehouse, chiefly for the stor-
age of imported tobacco. While the firemen
were saving the Carleton Hotel, this block
caught fire. and by 2 80 was in flames. No
attempt could be made to remove the goods
and they were burned. The west wall of this
block was fire proof and stayed the further
progress OF the flames, although the extreme
heat once or twice generated flames in the
upper floor of the next building The losses
will foot up $500. 900, with an insurance of
about half that sum.

Properly Advertising Portland,

The joint committee from the Board of
Trade and Portland Press Club held meet
Ing at the Borad of Trade rooms yesterday
afternoon to consider what can be done In
the way Of advertising Portland and the va
rious Casco Bay resorts. There was quite q
full attendance Of the committees, and vari-
ous projects were discussed.
Mr.. George Il. Haynes, who has illustrated
much Of Maine scenery and her sporting To-
calities, was present, and suggested scheme
for publishing, say 1000 copies of book Of
thirty-two pages, with twenty fine illustra-
tions Of some of the chief and most attract
i've island and Cape scenery, which could be
done II about twenty persons would sub
scribe S25 each.
The committee thought favOrably Of the
scheme, and expressed a willingness to as
sist MI. Haynes in any way they could to ad-
vertise Portland so as to stop more tourists
here. 1t was the expressed opinion Of the
committee that more advertising was done
to carry people by Portland than there Is to
show her superior attractions over any other
place In New England.
The committee agreed to have another
meeting very soon for the purpose Of cOnsid-
ering to what extent they can enlarge and
improve upon thu plan of the Tourists Guide
to Casco Ba yResorts, OF which the commit
tee issued 1900 last year. with good results,
and which were heard from to our advantage
almost every day.
