THE Democratic convention, which
will meet ut S.aunton this morning.
will be one of the most important ever
held in the history of the Slate. and
upon Its action the SUCCESS OF the party
in Virginia at the November election
will largely depend. That 1t will be
overwhelmingly for free silver there is
not the shadow Of q doubt Senator
Daniel will head the delegation to
Chicago unless he be endorsed as the
Democratic candidate for Vice-Pfesi-
dent. which would be readily done If he
desired it. Major Otey, the Representa-
tive OF this district in Congress, has done
good work for silver within the ranks Of
the State Democracy, and he would be
elected delegate st large by the State
conventions; but 1t is understood that he
does not, for good reasons, desire to GO
to Chicago. 1t has also been practically
settled that the unit rule will be
adopted by the State convention, but
this point ought to be we'll considered.
as the majority in this State can afford
TO be generous to those who differ wi ii
them on the financial question.

Of Corinto was readily transferred to his

the natives would have tended greatly
towards promoting harmony hssween
the United States and Great Britain
and as 1t was there IL no doubt that the
incident will add to the friendly senti-
menss existing between the two nations.
The rapidity with which the Central
American rebels would have been wiped
out would have given the people down

The Buckeye Glass Works, at Mar
tins Ferry, which was entirely de-
stroyed by fire early yesterday morn
ing. and fully reported in the Intelll-
gencer. cost $40, 900, and many improve
ments have since been made Placing
the works at this value. the total loss
would reach $265,0O0. The big plant
was uninsured.
Glassware to the value Of $4,000 was
destroyed. us stated In this paper, ana
the presses. moulds, etching machines
cutting machines and other improved
machinery was valued at at least SlO,-
900. There were twenty splendid presses.
Much money had been spent In I'M
provements. The works was one OF the
largest and best equipped In the United
States. Everything was flrst-class md
arranged with a view Of turning out
the best OF ware at a reasonable cost.
In short the works was n model one.
In It's palmy days as high as 500 men.
girls and boys were employed, and It
was the most important manufacturing
establishment in Martins Ferry. The
pay roll wns enormous, and the entire
city was benefited.
The Buckeye Glass Company bought
the plant at the very low figure OF
S35, 900 in 1880 and issued $4,000 in bonds
TO erect the large new furnace, to make
other Improvement and to carry on
the business. The capital stock was
S65,OO0. The most prosperous year In
the history OF the Buckeye company
was 1888, when II cleared about $4,000.
The profits the following year were
something like $4,000. In some years
there were actual losses and others re-
suited about even.
Mr.. A. D. Seamon. in becoming the
chief owner. paid or the remaining 49,
900 in bonds and bought the stock Mt
from 10 to 10 per cent on the dollar. dur
Ing the depression In the glass business.
He finally secured all of the stock, ex-
ceptinE three shares. at something like
$40, 900, Including the bonds which he
paid, thus becoming the owner. prnc-
tically, at n remarkably low price. Mr..
Seamon has laid out n great deal of
money about the works since that time.
The works remained Idle for long
period. Since II was announced that ths
works would start up non-union II has
had an eventful career, as narrated In
the IntellIgencer from time to time.
Everything was ready to resume glass
making tomorrow, after two months
stop. but the destruction OF the works
by fire yesterday morning means that
no glass can be made for months. and
perhaps the death to that great es-
Establishment and heavy blow to Mar
tins Ferry.

The Fires Origin.

inc FttehoftE"s
The fire seems to have been OF incen-
diary origin, and IL so the fire fend has
finally accomplished his purpose and
satisfied the minds Of the enemies OF
the works. Several men were seen run
ming from the works Just before the fire
was discovered.
Peter Carson. saloon keeper, whose
place is at the corner OF First and
CarlysIe streets, was said TO have seen
four men running from the direction
OF the works. and heard one say:
Boys. we've done 1t, and have got
to git"
denied that he had said anything OF
the kind.
Another suspicious circumstance and
one that mikes the theory OF incen-
dIarlsm all the more plausible was n
telephone message received ut the city
building shortly before the fire. Some
one in Bridgeport called up the police
and said n woman had been murdered
al Frank wllhelm's saloon, In the
Standard addition, which Is In the eX-
IRENE lower end OF town, and the po-
lice went down to investigate. While
down there the fire broke out. Nothing
had occurred ut Wllhelm's and every
thing was quiet, including the woman.
who recently escaped from the county
jail in Wheeling.
Some think the fire was caused by an
escape OF natural gas.
The Martins Ferry flremen did their
best at the fire. working well end faith
fully. The works was doomed when
they arrived, but they worked hurd,
notwithstanding that the night was
very cold, and some OF them were half
frozen and most OF them were covered
with ice. Hot coffee and sandwiches
were served to them Mt $3.50 ut the eX-
pense OF tho city officials. and the lunch
was very welcome. Most OF the flremen
are workingmen, and not n few persons
criticised them for their efforts to save
the works, because It was non-unIon
concern.
The power house OF the rev electric
light plant, which shut down at 9
O'Clock, thus shutting or all the electric
lights in the city, resumed last night
ns usual. The damage to this plant
was small. The building was some

The start was Emade from the club

Eggert of the Outing Cyclists, was
the pacemaker as far as Windsor.
Harry b. Salter of the Mercer Coun

broke soon after leaving Freehold,

the shore end of the trip. An am

looked out for the strugglers and
accidents.
