Democrats met at the court house last
Friday night for the purpose of selecting
candidates for the city Offices to be filed
in November. There was a good crowd
out showing pretty lively interest In
the proceedings. DIR. Milton Board was
called to the chair and Jesse Whitworth
was chosen secretary. The object Of the
meeting being stated, nominations were
in order. The name Of Mr.. Will Hook
was placed in nomination for police
Judge and DIR. Hook secured the prize
without any serious opposition. The
position is an honorable and lucrative
one and Mr.. Hook may feel compliment

stretch. The next nomination was that
for the Office of city marshal. The name
of g. d. Brown, the present incumbent,
and that OF Mr. Gerald were presented
to the meeting. Mr.. Brown was the fav-
orite Of a majority Of the Democrats
present and the nomination for city
marshal was given him. Mr.. Gerald
however, showed up with number Of
hackers and it was thought that il he
had taken the thing in time that he
might have worried Brown for the nom

tons for councilmen were made without
opposition and are as follows: ]. r

THE Democrats of Hardinsburg have
nominated a full ticket for all the town
officers to be elected under their new
charter in November. Ten years ago
they would hardly have thought of doing
such a thing for in a measure it would
have been useless. The Republicans
then had almost full sway and run the
city government themselves. Gradually
though the boys gained ground on them
and now it hustles a Republican like
smoke to get little office out there.

The fire broke out about 80 o'clock in the central
tower of the vast pile of buildings, that of them
selves formed miniature city. It was caused
by the overturning OF a plumbers stove.
The flames spread with great rapdty, and,
owing TO the scarcity of the water supply, not
withstanding almost superhuman efforts on the
part of tie fire brigades Of st. Cunegondc ana
ST. Henri, and six steam engines Of Montreal, the
great ple of buildings and the magnificent chapel
of the order were destroyed. Owing to the
valuable contents Of the convent force OF loo
police from Montreal was drafted to the scene
and the hundreds of priests and thousands Oh
citizens did yeomen's work in saving properly

During the afternoon many thrilling scenes
were witnessed. One among them was the rescue
of the two aged nuns by four sisters OF the
order. and the other was the rescue by their COM
rades of Fireman Duford, who had been carried
down when the cupola on the main building fell,
and Fireman Hoy, who fell with the roof OF the
chapel. Duford died tonight and Hoy cannot
live till morning.
