Hibbard, Mrs. John II. Hubbard. Mrs.
Charles Lee, aged %, of GAINESVILLE. o.;
Miss Fay Hubbard. aged 10, of Barnes
vile, o., Dorothy Hubbard, aged years,
and Allen Hubbard, aged 5 years.
Mrs Lee and Miss Hibbard of Barnes
Vile are sisters of Mr.. Hubbard, and were
spending the holidays with their brother.
Dorothy and Allen Hibbard were chill
dren of John II. Hubbard.
Beside these unfortunate people, there
were in the house at the time, Annie Bell,
colored servant, and four other chill
dren of the Hubbard family, viz: Webster,
Walter, John and Hinton, whose ages
ranged from to IL years. They all es-
capped by jumping from a second story
window. Annie Bell suffered a fracture
of one ankle, and Walter Hubbard sprain-
ed his ankles. The others were not in
Jured. The house is a large, modern
frame, two-stories and an attic in hight
and heated with natural gas by means
OF a furnace. The fire probably resulted
from an explosion of natural gas, though
the facts as to its origin will probably
The house is not badly burned, but the
interior woodwork is all badly scorched.
Probably the gas in the furnace, which
was turned low, flickered out, and then
the whole house gradually filled with gas.
When the air was sufficiently charged
with it, it was ignited from a buring gas
jet. There does not seem to have been
much explosive force. however, as the
walls are not shattered in the least.
20 John H. Hubbard came here five years
ago from Palatka, Fla, where he organ
lied the Palatka Board of Trade and the
Palatka Transfer Comanpy, of which he
was general manager. He left that place

Be solid for the GovcraOr-He Also
Counts on Boss Quas's support.
New York. Jan. 2-Thomas Plat to-day
announced that Gov. Levi Z. Morton is a
candidate for the republican nomination
for President. Mr.. Plat said: Gov. Nor
ton has consented to enter the race ard
his friends viii now so to work for him
all along the line. He viii not make any
formal statement himself. but he has told
his friends that ne is a candidate. From
the information have am confident that
the governor will be nominated at the St.
Louis convention. regard him as the
strongest candidate in the race.
1T has been urged as Gov Morton's
one element of weakness that he is too
old. In reply to that his friends have
simply to point TO his vigorous admins
tration as governor of the great state OF
New York. He is in splendid health, and
in full physical and mental vigor \ man
who can stand the strain of public duty
as he has stood it since he has been gov
ernor is certainly not too old to be Pres.-
dent
Gov. Morton's great strength as ii
candidate lies in the fact that he will
have united delegation from New YORK
state working for him, and he is popular
all over the country. He will not have
to overcome any fractional or sectional op-
position"
Mr.. Plat was asked who would manage
delegates.
Oh that has not been decided upon.
l suppose it will be done by committee
of the whole" he replied.
Mr.. Plat said that the friends of she
governor would at once begin active work
IN his interest and will secure the pledges
OF as many delegates as possible lie
SAID there was no possibility of any d-
vision OF the delegation from this state,
that every delegate to the St. Louis con-
Vention would be for Gov. Morton. He
said 1t was too early to say what other
states would send solid Morton delega-
lions, but that the governor would get
votes from all sections of the country.
Mr. Platt said he had not heard from SEN
ator Quay since Gov. Morton consented
how the Pennsylvania delegation will
vote. HIS said he has not heard any dis
cussion of the probable candidate tor
vice president on the ticket with Gov
Morton. There is an impression among
republican politicians that Mr.. Plat viii

CAROLINA TO BE CONGRATULATED.
The Past Year "a Prosperous One
Among the Farmers.

Charleston, S. c., Jan. 2. The
News and Courier has been pegging
away for many years urging the farmers
of this state to diversity their crops anu
live at home. Last year it offered special
prizes for the biggest hogs raised in South
Carolina, and the most hogs produced in
the space of 800 days. These offers gave
a great impetus to hog-raising in the
state, and reports to be published by the
News and Courier tomorrow setting forth
the financial and industrial condition of
the state show that more hogs have been
raised than in any year since the war
Laurens county, with 80 900 population re-
ports one hog per capita. The condition
of the state has not been so encoura ging
nor prosperity so general for fifteen years
Nearly every county has made its own
supplies. There have been few if any,
commercial failures. The merchants re-
port that their collections have never been
50 good. Not only have the farmers paid
their debts for 1895, but in hundreds of
cases have wiped out old scores The
manufacturing interests were never in a
more fourishng condition. The banks re-
port large deposits and the whole tone of
the report is jUbilant.
