NORTH ENID IN RUINS.
Disastrous Incendiary Fire I'm the
Oklahoma Town.


NORTH ENID, o. T., September H.
Fiends destroyed last night almost all that
has been accomplished in this town in the
PAST year and today where was the most
substantial part Of North Enid is a black,
charred mass of ruins, and several busi-
ness men without a dollar In the world.
At o'clock the Columbia drug store and
Kirk G. Co.'S big wholesale and retail grain
establishment were found ablaze.
A heavy wind was blowing from the
northwest, and the city having no fire ap-
paratus, buckets being scarce and wells
scarcer, the frantic people could but look
at the devouring flames In helpless horror.
The flames were fought inch by inch with
buckets till the flesh Of the firefghters was
blistered in the work. The sudden shifting
of the wind to the northwest saved the
city from entire destruction.
There was practically no insurance r. s.
Kirk was taken out of his building uncon-
scious, and c. n. Whitaker, editor of the
Daily Tribune, fell exhausted almost In the
flames, but was rescued, and escaped with
slight burns.
That the origin Of the fire was incendiary
there is no doubt. Rev. Pritchett. living in
the southern part Of the city, rushed to his
door when the first alarm was sounded, and
he saw horsemen riding rapidly southwark
along an unused street, but before he could
get down they were out of view.
The fire is terrible blow to the town, and
unless the railroad does something to en-
courage the people, 1t will be impossible to
keep them here.

LATE NEWS BY WIRE
NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.
Morton Men Claim n Certainty, hut
Fassett Men Hopeful.


SARATOGA. September IA nights
rest and the vivifying influence of the bands
that arrived with the various delegations
to the republican state convention seemed
to put heart into the many email candi-
dates this morning, and every one of the
announced men, who seemed to feel that all
hope had left them, and were on the point
OF withdrawal yesterday, and in some cases
had announced his candidacy as closed last
night, held very good chance this morn
ing to succeed.
The result is mat where last night there
were but two candidates for governor and
four for lieutenant governor. there were
this morning five candidates for governor.
thirteen for lieutenant governor and four
for judge of the court of appeals.
The latest announcements in the race for
lieutenant governor this morning were ex-
Senator Francis Hendricks of Syracuse and
the candidates are Morton. Fassett, Wood
ford, Butterfield and Russell.
The Morton adherents still claim their
candidate will be nominated on the first
ballot; but the bitter fight for the neuten-
ant >governorship, II is thought by many,
may result in a free-for-all fight for gov
ernor, and the Fassett people are accord
ingly claiming that the contest win greatly
| aid them.
The principal occupation of the delegates
seems to be chasing up the Erie county
delegation to- get: their declaration In
favor of some candidate Up to noon the
Erie delegates had several meetings, but
had not succeeded in combining upon any
one candidate.
No definite estimate of the actual strength
of any of the gubernatorial candidates can
be made as yet, because less than third
of the delegates are yet present.
The candidates for lieutenant COVER
nor-13 in number-are as follows: Kesser,
Wadsworth, Saxton, Aidridge. Green of
Binghamton, Brundage of Chemung,
Hendri of Syracuse, Fedder of Cattaraugus,
Fish of Putnam, Shaw of WATERFOWL, Baker
of Washington, Col McAlpin of West
Chester, Odell of Newburgh and Wade OF
Chautauqua.
The friends of each OF one of these can
didates said this morning that their men
were insthe race to stay until the finish, and
the contest promises TO be one of the warm
est ever seen at state convention.
The sixth annual convention of the Young
Mems League of Republican Clubs of the
state Of New York met at noon today in
Convention Hail.
The usual committees were appointed and
the convention took a recess until $50 pm.

SOLDIERS HOME FIRE.
One of the Inmates Arrested, Charged
With the Crime.

James Ryan, thirty-one years old, SOL
der in the United States army for eight
years, who was wounded during raid on
the "Oklahoml Boomers four years ago.
is under arrest Oh q charge of incendiarism.
He is an inmate of the Soldiers Home, and
it Is charged that he is responsible for the
fires there last Thursday night. Policeman
Matthews made the arrest Saturday and
relies mainly upon the statement of col
ored girl named Sarah Smith to make out
a case against the prisoner, who denies the
charge.
Ryan was absent from the hospital the
night of the fire, and he says he was in a
place known as "Biddle's,' and that he re-
n aimed there all night.
The officials at the home are inclined to
the belief that the soldier under arrest will
be able tn prove an alibi.
A warrant was sworn out against him to-
day, and the case went over in order to af-
ford the officers and the Soldiers Home Of
ficials time to further investigate the af-
fair Ryan had been under arrest at the
home several hours before the police went
there and got him. and should a case be
made out against him, there may be an in
teresting dispute as to the payment of the
500 reward.

The Ruined Building.
The ruined building was only completed
three years ago, and the business was run
by two brothers. Claude N. and Edward B.
They did o very large business.
and had only recently increased their force
Of workmen to get ready for the fall trade.
About twenty-five people were employed in
the building. but the Generalization was 30
complete that II was difficult matter to
make even an approximate list. This after
noon one Of the Stumph brothers said that
he thought the building was insured for
about $4,000. He was unable to estimate
what their loss would be, but it is probable
that the entire loss from the fire and from
the ruin caused by the falling walls will not
fall short of 100000, and may 60 considera-
bly, above that figure.
By l o'clock the fire was under control.
by reason of the fact that there was moth
ing left to burn and all chance Of its
spreading was over. About this time start
ling rumors spread to the effect that two or
more men had been unable to escape from
the building and that their bodies were
buried in the ruins. AS soon as the debris
was sufficiently cooled down the work Of
clearing 1t out began. in order to find out
If there was any foundation or not for these
rumors.
The crowd on Massachusetts, avenue was
so great that every available space was oc-
cupied. Just opposite the burning building
the iron fence inclosing the opening to the
basement of Victor Adler's clothing store
gave way and several persons were dropped
several feet to the cellar. Several men and
bows who fell escaped uninjured, but Mrs.
Edith Lippard of 131 F street northwest
was painfully hurt.
Plckpockets appeared at the fire soon
after the general alarm was sounded, and
several persons attracted there by the blaze
and smoke went home without their pocket
books
Emmett Stewart. a small colored boy, re-
siding at 1903 10th street southeast, while
looking at the Stumph fire from an advan-
tageous position on fence near by, fell
on and broke his leg. He was taken to the
Emergency Hospital.
A reasonably complete list of the people
employed in the factory at the time of the
fire is as follows: Harry Jordan, Frank
Ash, T. Mullln. Joe Smith, Leonard Smith,
Robert Jordan, Samuel Forrest, Henry
Fowler Harry Bacon. - TennYson,
Robert Reitzell, William Ashe, - Haske
John HouchinCs. Arthur Bevans Kate
Gingell, Mary Read. Miss Prospect, Mrs.
Hammer and - Vaughn. Two Ger
mans. one named Philip. were also en-
ployed there.

GEN. HARRISON IN THE CAMPAIGN.
He Will Speak on Politics This Fall in
Indiana Only.

Chairman Tanner of the republican state
committee of Illinois wrote recently to
ex-President Harrison asking him to make
one or more campaign speeches in Illinois
this fall. Saturday he received the follow
ing reply:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 10. 1894.
John r. Tanner.
My Dear Sir: 1 have not been able sooner
TO acknowledge your letter of August -.
l only got home yesterday. l have made up
my mind not to go out of this state to
enter into the campaign this fall. l do not
think it would be right for me to go into
general campaign work. / have promised
our own people to make a couple of short
speeches in this state, and If l go beyond
this and visit Illinois or Iowa, as l have
been invited to do, or any other state l
could not put any limit on the demands
which would be made upon me. am sorry
to disappoint you, for you have all shown
me great deal of kindness In the past.

Singapore.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 17.-One
of the most peculiar stories of the loss of a
vessel that has been received in this city
for many months is brought in advices via
the steamer Oceanic. from Singapore via
Hong Kong. The Namyong, a 1,5l2-ton

shoot distress rockets. When she came to
the spot TO sign of her was visible.

A Solid Mass of Flames.
By the time the engines were on the spot
the building was one seething cauldron of
fire. and the flames rose In a solid mass
fifty or sixty feet above the roof of the
doomed building. The various floors were
filled with more or less infammable ma
terial. as would naturally be the case in a
business house of this Sort and from base
ment to roof the fire was burning so that
those who reached the scene only a very
few minutes after The alarm was turned in

The first floor was used for offices and dis
