Mckinley and Cuiiom Talked OF by the
Delegates.
MINNEAPoIIs, June Since the arrival
Of Governor Mckinley dark horse talk has
suddenly assumed great proportions and
the name Of Mckinley is on every tongue
1t is said there is plan on foot TO nominate
Mckinley if the issue should not be settled
on the first ballot. Then Indiana people
asked Governor Mckinley what he would
do about the matter. The governor assured
them that II they wished he would rise in
the convention and ask the delegates from
Ohio not to vote for him. Notwithstanding
this assurance talk about Mckinley is heard
everywhere. The dark horse movement
has brought ont the other minor candidates
again and the talk in political headquarters
is "Baine or Harrison on the first ballot or
dark horse" Senator Cullom has heard
the mutterings Of the storm and his light
ming rod is in position.
Word has gone out among his friends that
II Harrison is not nominated on the first

TITUsvILLE, Pa, June 7.-Over fifty dead
recovered, perhaps fifty more not found,
and at lenst 81, 600 worth Of property de-
stroyed by fire and hood is the sum total Of
the terrible disaster which has overtalxen
Titusville. The city is a city of mourning.
Most Of the stores are closed, the barrooms
are shut up and there is Grape on many a
door. People IN n half demented state
throng the morgues looking for loved ones
whom they will probably never hear from,
while others at their homes or AZ some
friends house stare aimlessly at their loved
ones lying dead before them.
Governor Pattison's Appeal.
The dead in OH City and Titusville ac-
cording TO conservative estimates, number
more than $50. Il is possible that 500 per-
sons have perished
Nothing as yet has been heard from the
dozen or more villages bordering on Oil
creek between the two towns, distance Of
eighteen miles. II these places have ssf-
fered as Titusville and Oil City have suf-
fered, the list Of the dead may reach very
large figures.
Governor Pattison has asked for md in a
proclamation. The citizens Of the stricken
places have also raised their voices asking
help. Titusville's appeal follows:
Our suffering and destitution is terrible
Great loss Of life and distraction Of property.
A large portion Of our manufacturing interests
wiped out by flood and FIRE. HUNDREDS OF
families homeless and destitute. IN absence Of
Mayor Emerson, we appeal 10 generous public
for helF in this our time Of distress.
Remittances may be made 10 Mayor Emer-
son, the Commercial bank. J. l.. Mckinney,
presidents or the Second National bank l.. X.
Hyde cashier; or Roger sherman, chairman,
relief committee.
Saved the Wrong Woman.
One Of the sadest tragedies Of this calami-
ty was that enacted at the home Of John
Omasa on Mechanic street. When Omasa
and his wife caught sight Of the flood of fire
leaping toward them the wife swooned and
the husband lost his head. Maddened by
the sight Of the rolling Of flames he dove be-
meath a burning mass Of oil. He rose in
! clear water, saw a woman floating and res
cued her, but found that the woman was
not his wife. Turning he saw her standing
in the doorway crying for help. The sea Of
boiling water ragged between, and while he
| looked the flames licked around her feet
and she sank beneath the food.

corted TO the platform he was greeted with
enthusiastic applause from the Blaine men
especially. He thanEtd the convention for
the honor conferred upon him and made
one Of his characteristic speeches before the
Republican party,
~, An Army of Listeners.
When Mr. Tassett began his speech he
looked around upon a vast audience Of
about 1900 people. Every seat in the
great hpn was filed despite the fact that
about a Thousand Of them cost fifty dollars
each, and eWsry inch Of standing room in
the building was also occupied. The hal is

erected in 1885, and covers three acres Of
ground. II has been especially prepared
for the. use TO which it is now being put
The hall has toor space of 235 by pos feet,
and its capacity is slightly increased by a
narrow gallery The ceiling slopes upward
toward q ridge pole from which the dis
tance to the floor is seventy feet.
In the roof is a skylight 62xi20 feet, so
large that were the glass not stained, the
fun daylight would make a tremendous daz-
zle. In addition to this skylight, there are
big windows all around the walls The
light is softened further by the painting Of
the walls ceiling and the huge supporting
pillars, and by the profusion Of bunting that
adorns the walls The center of the hall is
level, and here the delegates and the pre-
siding officer sit. From this central level
the seats for other persons attending the
convention rise tier on tier on every side
The representatives Of the newspapers have
POS seats, arranged in rows on terraces to
the right and left Of the speaker. The ma
tional committee sits behind the chairman,
and thevast audience occupies about 1900
kitchen chairs.
Shields of American Tin.
On the side Of the galleries and beneath
them the shields Of the forty-four states are
emblazonedrOn American tin. The shield
and eagle OF the United States are displayed
behind the chairman. To his right and left,
respectively, are the twin notices "Reci-
procity" and Protection, p in gilt letters on
blue field with brown border. A monster
eagle Of embossed tin surmounts the stair
way by which the delegates enter.
The thirty.six columns which support the
roof have all been gilded and bronzed. Four
handsome sets Of thirty foot American flags,

side Of the space set aside for the delegation
and one in the rear of them. The galleries

Death Of Elder w. A. Broadhurst.

The sad news of the death of Elder
William Allen Broadhurst, SO well
known in this community, has beer
announced, which occurred at his
home in Midway, KY, April 2, Of
consumption, aged about forty-eigh'
years.
Mr.. Broadhurst came here as pas
tor of the Christian church, 1876
serving faithfully and efficiently for
five years, and was at last compelled
to resign his pastorate on account o.
failing health. The congregation
gave him up with reluctance and
deep regret. In fact he rendered his
resignation several times before il
was accepted. He was popular and
highly esteemed by members Of all
denominations, and this notice will
be read with sorrow by many people.
He leaves an interesting family.

The Pastors Conference.

The Pastors Conference met this
morning at 10 o'clock with DR.. Lup-
ton. The sabbath Question" was
discussed. 1t was the opinion of the
ministers present that servants
should be allowed Sabbath privileges,
that Sunday frolicking and sump-
tuous dinners are not conducive to
spiritual growth. 1t was further
suggested that christians would do
better to attend their own churches,
as rule. AT an early date all the
pastors propose to preach special
sermon on the subject.

The Springfield Election.

The Springfield people have been
all broken up and in a hot contest
over the city election, which oc-
cured Saturday. There was much
bad feeling and animosity in it, in
Guiding big law suit for Islander,
all growing out of the question OF
taxing the old bank reserve fund or
accumulated profits of $4,000. The
old city board, 1t seems, was sus-
talned. Mayor Jas. t. Henry was
reelected, defeating q. G. Bell, one
of the most substantial and popular
men in Robertson county, by twen-
ty-four majority--a close election.
The election passed off quietly with
only two little fights.
