Good Rain at Georgetown.

GEORGETOWN, Aug. l9.-(SpeciaD
-Opportune rains the past week,
were just the thing for the i'm
poverished cotton crop. Younger
cotton was greatly benefited, and
the top crop, that was in jeopardy
a week ago, is now safe. Market

but for the interference OF rain
which was gracefully sub mitted
to. AS it is, nearly every market
in Williamson county has received
its first bale. There scarcely any

WILL THEY DOWN sRIcEp
The Real Meaning of the Demo
cratic Convention at Springfield.

CIatlC SOnN0uSAoA os ASAN'
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, Ang. 49,
The city Is filled with Democrats
who are 'jockeying for the pole" in
the Gubernational race, which will
begin Tuesday, when the Demo
cratic State convention meets. The
overwhelming victory of the Re-
, publicans In 1894, when the Demo-
Gratis were showed under with a
plurality of $4,000, has taken all
the enthusiasm out of the Demo.
cratic statesmen, who are not anX-
ious to stand up and be knocked
down. So the inteeest Of this con.
vention turns not so much on the
Governorship as on the attempt to
"turn down Brice." This Is the
rallying cry of the smaller states
men. Senator Brice, as temporary
chairman, will sound the keynote.
There has been some feeling engen-
dered in the silver fight.
Ex-Governor Campbell has de-
clined to allow his name to be used
for governor, and Congressman
Paul Sorg and Tom johnson refuse
to be drafted. In the event that
the free silver men should control
the convention, the nomination for
governor will probably be John IL.
Thomas, of Springfield, or James
Kilbourne, of Columbus. The SEN
atorship and presidential prefer
ences, as we'll as the silver question,
supercede the usual contests for
places this year. However, Miami
Valley Democrats have started a
boom for John A. Mcmahon, OF
Dayton, who was a candidate six
years ago for United States
Senator against Brice. McMahon
has served six years in Congress-

ingham. The fight in the conven-
tion will rage around Senator
Brice's certain effort to prevent an
endorsement of free silver. Brice
favors "sound money" and is de-
nounced by the granger element. as
a Wall street monopolist. Exon.
gresham Tom l.. johnson is in the
field for Brice's scalp. AS johnson
is rich, popular and young he will
make hard fight against the older
politician.

great that for two blocks on Law
renee street, and for some distance
on Larimer street, every window
in the business blocks was shat
tered. The explosion awoke the
guests in the front part OF the
house, and by the time the firemen
reached the scene, many were
taken from the windows.
The first to demand the attention
of the ambulance corps was
Micheal G. Burgess, who was walk
ing along the street from the hotel
when the explosion occurred. Fly
ing glass cut him about the head
and face in a frightful manner. Joe.
Munal, Of Cairo, ILL.,, was found in
the basement dressed only in his
underclothes and completely cover
ed with ashes and dirt. He was
rescued with difficulty. His IN
juries are thought severe but
not thought fatal. These, with
the barkeeper, Bud Hopkins, were
the only injured persons taken to
the county hospital up to 500 a.
m. Six persons, including a woman
and baby, were taken off the roof
Of building adjoining the Gumry,
occupied by A. Lillyblade. Peter
Poss, an aged gentleman from
Chattanooga, Tenn, who is an in
valid, was carried out alive and
his daughter escaped safely. Many
others escaped by stairways. The
hotel was divided in the center by
rotunda, or court, runningi to the
top of the building.
The fire in the ruins has been ex.
tinguished and search by large
force for the dead has begun. At
IL o'clock one body, which was
identified, has been removed and
several more are in sight. The
numb Der killed will not exceed
twenty. The following is the list
of the dead so far as ascertained:
Peter Gumry, owner OF the hotel;
B. G. Greiner, manager Of the
hotel; Mrs. B. G.. Greiner,
clerk of hotel; General Charles
Adams, Manitou; AL. Blake, Pueb-

There is no doubt the disaster
was caused by boiler explosion;
Frank Loescher, aged only II years,
was engineer. 1t is said he was
intoxicated and after turning a
large quantity OF cold water into
the hot boilers. left the building
ten minutes before the explosion
occurred. The police are looking for
him.

TRAGEDY NEAR BERLIN.
Ardlo Mott is Dead, but Coroner's
Jury Does Not Find His
SLAYER.

Berlin, Wis, July 29-[Special. 1.-The
home of David Halford, near the Marion
cheese factory in the town of Marion,
Waushara county, was the scene Of a
tragedy Saturday night at about IL
O'Clock. The victim was Albro Mott, an
unmarried man about 80 years of age.
1t is claimed that Mr.. Halford had been
jealous of Mott on account of his at
tentionS toward Mrs. Halford for more
than year and he warned Mott to de-
sist. Saturday night Mott was near the
Halford house when someone called out
to him to halt. Mott, however, started
to walk away, Whereupon somebody dis
charged a rifle, the bullet taking effect
in Motifs leg near the knee. 1t shattered
the bone and severed an artery. DR.. B.
&. DodsOn was summoned from Berlin
and reached the scene of the tragedy at
2 p. m. The wounded man was rapidly
weakening from loss of blood and despite
every effort of the physician his life blood
gradually ebbed away and he expired at
Z o'clock Sunday morning He lay on
the ground until the physician arrived
and every resource known to medical
skill was applied, but all efforts were
futile. Mott was an old resident of the
county and of late was employed as
cheeSemaker.
The coroner's inquest was held at II
o'clock and it developed that the parties
implicated will admit nothing, both Hal
ford and wife declining to testify. Mr..
Scoville, father of Mrs. Halford, says he
was awakened about II o'clock Saturday
night ana thought it was party return
ing from a summer resort at Silver lake;
he went over to the Halford house and
found Moot, the murdered man, lying on
the ground. He asked him what was the
matter. Moot answered that his leg was
hurt, and would give no further informa-
ton. His leg was bound up and physi-
clan was summoned. At the inquest DR..
B. F. Dodson testified that the wound
looked like a gunshot wound, and it now
looks as though the case would be one
which will compel the state to prove ey-
erything. No arrests were made up to 1
o'clock, but the sheriff and district-attor-
ney have gone to the scene.

The Oat shocks were completely threshed

terrible wind and drifts along the fences

more. Forty-eight hours after the
