One Life Lost

a Steamer. Dock and Hotel Burned
One Life Lost.
LEWISTON IN. ", July 15.-Early this
morning the handsome steamer Cibola of
the Niagara line, Toronto. was discovered
on fire. The flames spread quickly, and
the vessel was burned to the water's edge.
The fire then communicated to the dock,
and thence spread to the American Hotel
which, with the dock, was totally de-
stroyed.
When the flames were discovered the
crew and the few passengers on board
were asleep. All escaped but the third
engineer, William Hammell, whose body
was found after the fire headless. The
loss is $3.50, 900.

WASHINGTON, July 15.--Severai East
ern cities have already taken steps toward
securing one or both of the national con-
vontions. The prospects are that the
Atlantic Coast and Eastern cities will put
up better fight than ever before. AS far
as heard from, there are six Eastern as
pirants for the honor of entertaining one
or both of the conventions, viz: Now
York, Buffalo, Saratoga, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington.
1t seems to be the general impression
that it will develop into something Of a
sectional fight, with the gold bugs for
some Eastern city, and the silver men
contending in favor Of some place west
of the Missouri River.
4 general feeling prevails in Washing
ton, and it seems to be shared by the
Eastern press, that Chicago has had her
fair share of honor in this line, and some
other place should be selected by either
party. Chicago has had five Republican
and three Democratic conventions
Baltimore is going TO try for the Demo-
cratic convention. Prior to 1872 that city
had entertained thirteen conventions,
eight Democratic and five Wing or Re-
publican, and Greeley was nominated
there in 1872 making fourteen in all that
WAS held there. There has been only
one national convention held in New
York City and tnat by the Democrats in
1865. Cincinnati has had four conven-
tons, the last by the Democrats in 1880.
The Democrats met in st. Louis in 1881,
and again in 1888. The Republicans and
Know Nothings held their convention in
Philadelphia In 1896. the Wings having
met there in lS4S. The last national con-
vention held there was by the Repub
licans in 1872.
The question of an auditorium with
adequate seatiug capacity may not cut
much Of figure III selecting the next
Democratic Convention place. At the
last Democratic Convention a resolution
was passed recommending to the Nation
al Democratic Convention that delegates,
alternates and press representatives only
be admitted. If the national convention
follows this direction, the public will not
be admitted, so the question of hall with
sufficient seating capacity will not be All
important factor. This would be an adj
vantage to San Francisco in this respect.
The Republican Convention may like
wise limit the admission to delegates,
alternates and representatives of the
press.

ing her engagement this week will be her
version of the celebrated play Ca
mile" 1t was in this performance that
