Union League Club against the enactment of
the Election Inspectors bill. Although it
emanates from Republican source it is worthy
Of Governor Flowers careful and serious con-

The evil and unfairness of the act as a whole

called to their feet, was a most agreeable feat

with pleasure. Yesterday he was at his best,
and there could be no higher praise. Mr. Fas-

The friction among the delegates to the Ohio
Republican Convention was happily adjusted
Yesterday, and the delegation to Minneapolis
was made up of two Sherman and two Foraker
men. Governor Mckinley, who acted as pre-
siding officer of the convention, was placed at
the head of the delegation. This is fortunate
outcome of a struggle between the two wings
of the party in Ohio which seemed likely to be
fought out on the floor of the convention. The
platform is a terse and vigorous statement Of
Republican principles, and has hearty good
word TO say for both President Harrison and
Governor Mckinley.

QUICK WORK
Made by the Street Car Company on Frank
lin Street.

Made by the Street Car Company Frank
| lin Street.
Franklin street presented lively
appearance yesterday. For some time
it has been the intention of the Roam
oke city railway to run q line down this
street, but owing to its narrowness the
property owners have bitterly objected
to this being done. However, yester.
day the street railway set to work a
force of about hundred men grading,
laying ties and rails and by o'clock
had the street graded to Tenth avenue.
This work will be completed o-day and
the track will be laid from tho inter-
section of Commerce, with Campbell
down the former street and out on
Franklin street to Tenth avenue, where
1t is proposed that the terminus shall
remain for time. In q short time it
will be extended and belt line made
of it.
The haste in this work is understood
to be superinduced by rumors of an in.
junction by properly holders on this
street to prevent the road being ex-
tended down it. However that may be,
1T is about as quick piece of work as
one could wish to see.
This street, from sanitary point of
view, is in bad condition from Eighth
avenue almost to Commerce street. The
grade of the gut ering is insufficient to
carry off the storm water, and in many
places in the bottom it stands in puddles
and is mantled over with q green scum.
The stencil that arrives from the bot
tom is nauseating and the present con-
dition is enough to produce sickness of
serious nature. The City Council
should see that this matter is attended
to at once

ROANOKE, VA. JULY 27, 1899.
A WISE CHANGE.

There will be a general feeling of re-
lief at the joint action of Mayor Trout
and the Council in restoring Clarence
Coleman TO the Board of Public Works,
and City Engineer Dunlap to his own
particular duties. The immediate cause
for the change was question as to the
strict legality of the city engineer hold
ing dual position. The PRACTICAL
questions involved, however, were the
ones which appealed most strongly to
the thinking community. No man can
we'll act and sit in impartial judgment
on his own action.
The spectacle Of City Engineer Dun
lap as reviewer of his own actions in
the board of public works would not
offer to the public that assurance of
proper check and safeguard which
should exist between the various de-
partments of the city. The change is
wise, and in no instance will Mayor
Trout more strongly commend himself
to the public than in manly promptness
in which he changed an appointment
open to doubt and conservative criticism
to one which is sound and unassailable.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.
"A Large Amount of Property Goes Up In
Smoke.

Smoke.
NEW YORK, July 26.-The New York
Biscuit Company's cracker baking estab
iishment burned down to. day. The loss
is estimated at S2OO,0Oo The building
on South avenue and Fifteenth and Six
teenth streets takes in nearly the entire
square. The works hero contained the
largest plant of the concern. which has
branches at Chicago, Grand Rapids
Mich; New Haven and Hartford, Conn.
and Cambridgeport. Mass. The build
ing was completed only three months
ago.
The three upper floors of the build
ing were Quilted. There was q large
quantity Of flour stored in the basement
which was ruined by water. The firms
forming the ombination are Holmes &
Coulter, Van Dover 81 Holmes, Gilmer 4
Co., Anger Bros. &c Edward, Field 4
Decker. The cause of the fire. which
broke out at $50 o'clock, is Unknown.
Chief Bonner, of the fire department,
had narrow escape from doath, but no
ono was injured.
The loss is estimated at half million
dollars. Hundreds of men, women
and children are thrown out of employ
ment.
DETROIT, July 25.-lSpeciall- IA spe-
cial from Bay City to the Journal saws:
a terrible fire which started Yesterday
afternoon, continued to rage all night
and the sun arose this morning on
field of ashes extending over forty
blocks. 1t was impossible to check the
flames carried before gale, until every
thing in it's track had been consumed,
and to-day it is estimated that at least
500 buildings are in ruins, representing
loss probably of $780, 1000.
Soon after the flames started in Mil
Ter & Turner's faw mill it was seen that
the city was doomed. There was a ter
rife wind blowing from the southwest
and great lunches of burning boards
were lifted and scattered about the
lumber yard.
The first alarm was quickly followed
by general one, calling out everv par
ticle of apparatus in the city. Almost
before the firemen knew it a cloud flame
and embsrs had swept across Harrison
street and in fifteen minutes Eastern
Row, from Thirty third to Thirtieth
streets, four blocks, was ablaze. The
firemen would no sooner lay their lines
of hose than the fire would be upon
them and they would be compelled to
flee for their lives. Burning boards
were carried 200 feet in the air, and
wherever they dropped some house or
store would at once add its fuel to the
confagration.

the vessel has been popularity known,
1.-THE Pirate was launched here this
afternoon from Cramps shipyard, and
christened "Columb ia" by Miss Edith
Morton, daughter of Vice. President
Morton.
In consideration of the time of the
year and with view to just such
weather as the country is suffering from,
the Cramps decided some time ago not
to issue any invitations to the launch
to day, and in consequence there was a
marked difference in the size of the
crowd present in comparison with that
OF previous launchings at the yard.
Probably not more than thousand
people were present beyond the yard
employees and those officially present tc
participate in the ceremonies. The
launch was entirely successful. Among
the prominent persons present were
Secretary Tracy, Vice. President Morton
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Solely,
Commander John Solely, Congressman
John R. Fellows. Commander Altibone
