SUFFERING FROM DROUGHT.
Water Never Before So Scarce in
the Conncllsville Region.

Dunbar, Pa, Oct. 15.-The continued
drought is having its effect to an alarm
ing degree on the coke works in the
Connellsville region. If relief does not
come soon a large number of plants will
be obliged to close down. At many
places the only supply now available is
the water pumped from the mines. At
Anchor, Atlas and Mahoning works
the coke burned up owing to lack of
water. The Youghiogheny river and
mountain streams have never been so
low as at present. and work generally is
greatly handicapped by the water famine.
Great fear is felt from probable noun
tain forest fires, common at this season.

New York, Oct. 5.-Simultaneo,tsly
with the unexpected arrival of the Duke
of Marlborough yesterday from the blue
grass regions Of Kentucky, from where
he was expected to prolong his trip south
several weeks, comes the rumor that
there will be another Vanderbilt marri-
age shortly after Miss Consuelo becomes
duchess, and that this wedding will re-
unite her divorced parents. This rumor,
which finds many believers among the
members of the Vanderbilt set who have
watched the doings of William X. Van
derbilt and his divorced wife, started in
Hampstead last Saturday, when Mrs.
Vanderbilt and Miss Consuelo were the
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. j. L. Kernochan.

With regard to his wedding the duke

his cousin, would be his best man.

by the duke, Miss Vanderbilt will evil

A $4,000 FIRE AT ISLAND POND.
the Entire Place Threatened With De-
struction,
ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.I

Island Pond, VT. September 17.-There
was very serious fire here today. and
at one time it looked very much like
the destruction of the entire business
section of the place, and even as it is, the
loss will be seriously felt.
The great lumber manufacturing mills
Of G. II. Fitzgerald, employing about
100 men, caught fire today and but for
the fact that the.people turned out to the
last man and fought fire, and the fortu-
nate circumstances that atSthes time it
was dead calm, the business portion
OF the place would have been destroyed.
AS it was the fireSwas confined ...toTthe
lumber mills and lumber yard of MIR.
Fitzgerald, the lumber being much more
valuable than the mills, and the estimat-
ed loss is $50, 600 Mr.. Fitzgerald was
insured IN part.
Before the timber was SO largely cut
away in this section of the state there
was great cutting business carried on
in the mills. which were located in what
is now the very centre of the business
portion of the place, but of late years
the business has been mostly confined to
manu- featuring lumber. The loss will be
a serious one to the place unless Mr..
Fitzgerald decides toirebuild at once.
The Conticook fire brigade was sent
for and arrived in time to render valuable
assistance What saved Main and Cross
streets, and in fact all the territory local
ly called ''the flats" was the fact that
the fire had been we'll gotten under con-
fro1 st7.onc wind that Spranp I'm
blew the flames from the street to the

ing appliances is again heard, and some
thing may result from it.

Donald Franklin. The heat developed in
to proce ssion led by Donald Franklin
who after once going to the front was
never headed. Dixie was good safe
second while the rest of the field trotted
along in the rear. AS they swung into
the stretch Hill pulled Donald Franklin
up to allow Dixie to overtake him and
make good race to the wire. The grey
STALLION finished first, Dixie was second,
Lady Elsie was third and Lacerato was
fourth ime 2. 421I.
Considerable time was wasted in
scoring before the second heat was
started. AS for the heat itself it was
simply repetition Of the one that pre-
ceded it. Donald Franklin took the lead
at the first turn and the rest of the field
had to take his dust for the remainder Of
the mile. Dixie had a cinch ON seco nd
place and Lady Elsie had no difficulty in
landing third. Sadie Welch bettered her
position in the race by coming under the
wire fourth. Time g. 434.
1t was a foregone conclusion that
barring accident Donald Franklin would
capture the race in straight heats and
this he succeeded in doing. He led the
field into the stretch and then Hill pulled
the stallion up to have q brush with
Dixie to the wire. The brush was rather
more exciting than Hill had anticipated
for Dixie developed a great burst Of
speed and went under the wire first by a

handed up the platform. 1t contained
no excise plank. The vote in committee

After the platform was read John f.

tanning two propositions. One favored

and the other was an Excise plank. VIM.
A. Sutherland of Rochester, member OF
the committee on resolutions moved that
Milholland's report lie on the table. AT
this point ex-senator Warner Miller,
who had been standing some time caught
the chairman's eye. He spoke with
warmth. He said: 81 rose for the pur
platform which has been read, but the
Chair did not recognize me. ! don't
understand that the Republican conven-
tion will apply the gag law" Chair
man Lexow interrupted: 81 will state
that did not see the gentleman, and the
Chair does not propose that in this con-
vention any gag law shall be applied
The Chair now rules that the motion be-
fore the house is the motion to lay the
minority report on the table and the re-
port is not debatable.
Z The motion was put and there seemed
TO be more noes than ayes. Mr.. Milhol-
land demanded a roll call. Chairman
Lexow said. "the motion is carried and
Senator Miller has the floor.
There were murmurs of discomfort with
the ruling and things were quite lively
for few minutes.
Warner Miller then took the floor and
argued for plank for Sabbath observ-
ance. Senator Edmund o. Connor fol-
lowed with speech in favor of home rule.
Hamilton Fish. tchairman of the COM
mittee on resolutions spoke briefly against
the resolution offered by Mr.. Miller MI.
Lauterbach called for the reading. OF
been read he said: "No Republican can
object to that. - Amid some confusion
the Miller resolution was carried by the
convention unanimously. Hamilton
Fish moved the previous question on the
adoption of the platform as amended. 1t
was carried and then the platform went
through with a rush. J. Sloat Fassett
proposition made by Mr.. Milholland
favoring the enlargement OF the state
committee. He offered motion that the
resolution already voted down be taken
from the table. The motion was lost.
Hamilton Fish made motion to pro-
ceed to the nomination of candidates and
the motion was carried. Judge Celora Il.

on a second ballot. At least dozen gen.
tlemen present prepared nominating

troller, state treasurer, attorney general

relief when at z. 80 Edmund L. Pitts of

tion was carried with hurrah and the

THE FAKIRS.
Strange to say there are not a great
many fakirs at Scarboro, but there are
fully as many as are needed. The man
with the knives and rings is there and is
gathering in quite a few nickels. 1t
would be cheaper for any one wishing to
obtain knife to buy one rather than at
tempt to toss ring over one of the
fakir's varied assortment for they g
stuck in the table at such an angle that
it is we'll nigh impossible to win one
with the rings.
Then there is the man with the wheel
of fortune, you pay nickel for youl
choice of position on the board and il
you win you receive five cigars or a
quarter The majority of the fortunate
ones in this game took the quarter in
preference to the cigars, which did not
appear to be imported weeds by any
means There are numerous pop corr
and candy booths scattered about the
grounds and there is no special need fol
ANYBODY to feel the pangs of hu niger.
