TOWN WIPED OUT,
FEARFUL FIRE IN AN ARKANSAS
VILLAGE
The Place Practically Obliterated-
Incendiarism Suspected
groes Arrested

Little Rock, Ark, July 19-The
town of Malvern, Ark, was almost en-
tirely wiped out by fire. Malvern was
a town of 5000 inhabitants, the bus
mess portion of the place being cIus-
tered around the railroad station. All
this section was destroyed, only three
business houses remaining. The total
loss is VariOusIy estimated at from
100000 to 100000, only a small por-
ton of which is covered by insurance.
The heaviest losers are: E. Adams, loss
100000, fully insured; Hughes & Nc
Ray, loss $25, 1000, partially insured; w.
H. Cooper & Bros, $4,000, insurance
$4,000; H. A. Butler, $4,000, insurance
$4,000; William Dunfeld, $4,000, no
insurance.
The fire is without doubt the result
Of plot to destroy the town. The
blaze broke out about midnight III
three different places and as there was
no apparatus the fire burned itself out.
Four men are under arrest charged
with starting the fire, and the people
of the town are in such a state of ex-
element that there is a strong proba-
bility that the incendiaries will be
summarily dealt with

A ROMANCE FROM OHIO.

Information which recently reached
him induces John NJ Morgan, a
wealthy farmer living near West
Union, O., to believe that a daughter
whom he thought dead for twenty-five
years is still living. So firmly is Mr..
Morgan of this opinion that in day
or two his son, of the same name as
view of learning the truth of a strange
story.
In 1871 Mrs. Morgan's health was
very bad and physicians recommended
a European trip. She and her husband,
with their 5-year-old boy, accordingly
went abroad, and for months travelled
by easy stages through various inter-
esting portions of Europe. During
their stay in a small town in the north
ern part of France the second child, a
girl, was born. When it was less than
2 weeks old the infant died The girl
baby had been intrusted to the care of
a native nurse. MIR. and Mrs. Morgan
returned to this country about six
months later, and always mourned
their child as dead.
Several weeks ago the elder Mr.. Nor
| gan received letter from an acquain-
lance in France, who stated that he had
long been trying to ascertain Mr.. Nor
gan's whereabouts or that of some
member of his family. It was further
stated in the letter that the old nurse,
on her deathbed, about one year ago,
confessed to having practiced a cruel
deception on Mr.. Morgan and his wife
she having substituted their little
daughter for another child of the
same age, which had died while in her
charge. The baby had been intrusted
to her care by an English lady to
whom she was attached The Morgans
returned to this country mourning their
baby as dead, while in reality the child
was reared by the English lady and
her husband as their own. She is now
young woman, and is still believed tC
! be living in England in total ignorance
of her true parentage. The nurse
stated that the English lady was the
wife of a marquis md lived near Lon.
don, but for some strange reason sht
could net be induced to reveal thu
name. With these facts in his posses
sion and a keen desire to find his long
LOST sister young Morgan will soon e
to England and institute a search

FACING BOTH WAYS. "

That interesting parsonage, Sinnn
Fraser, lord Lovat, will always be ro-
mantle figure in the history OF the
Eighteenth century; but it is oGd in
deed, to find him still causing speCula-
ton century and a bali after his head
fell on Tower Hill, says the London
Standard
There is nothing in fiction which fact
has not parallelled, and the discovery
of what is cOnjectured to have been his
watch, hidden in a chimney of an old
house just demolished in Newton street,
Holborn, is triumph for the novelis5s
who have so of en- enriched their heroes
with forgotten boards imbedded in SCOT
In a day of register stoves and mar
row fiues it would be difficult to secro1e
anything in a chimney: but, as we
know, all manner Of valuable things
from Charles II. downward have been
concealed in the capacious chimneys
which our forefathers, with their gen
erous ideas of space, so much loved.
! That the Eighteenth century silver
watch, with seals attached, which has
been found in the ramshackle old house
/ off Holburn, was ever actually wOrr by
Simon Fraser is incapable of absolute
proof. 1t may have belonged to some
subordinate member of the clan, but it
bears the bucks head, the crest of the
house of Lovat, and there is reason TO
believe that the Newton street houses
which have just been pulled down were
a resort of persons who were wanted
by the arm.
The twelfth Lord L0vat was very
often in the position in the course Of
his long and checkered life, and if ne
did not himself hide his watch it may,
ingenious antiquaries suggest, nave
been placed in its COZ cealment ~ a
thief who stole it from him. or by some
other member of his family who was in
conflict with the constituted authorities
However that may be, it is perfectly
possible that the relic may have been
worn by Simon Fraser at some period
of his treacherous and dece1tful, but en-
nently picturesque, life.
Never was there a more complete
realization of Mr.. Facing both-wa avs. u
A Hanoyerian in the 1715 rebellion, lie
was, not long after, found coquetting
with Jacobitism, and when the ,745
rebellion came he sold his support to
tie young chevalier for the promise
of a dukedom. But LOYat was not the
man to commit himself irrevocably IN
til he knew, or thought ne knew, which
way the cat was going tc jump. After
Prestonpans it looked as though be
would really get his dukedom. and he
began to arouse the clan, but when the
retreat commenced there was no more
devoted Hanoverian in King Georges
dcminions than Simon Fraser It was

MOB PUT TO FLIGHT.
Situation at Cleveland Grows Uglier
Each Day.

Cleveland, July 18.-Friday was
turbulent day in the vicinity of the
Brown works There were several in
cipeDt riots, and in the evening there
was an open conflict between the mob
and the militia, it being necessary to
put thousands of men to flight at the
point of the baycnet. Some of them
were seriously hurt. The situation Is
uglier than it has been at any time yet.
Shortly after o'clock one militia
man started for home alone. A large
crowd attacked him with sticks and
stones. Word, however, was sent to
the headquarters of the soldiers and
company F came on the double quick.
1t rushed at the crowd, clearing the
streets quickly. A number of men and
boys were stabbed with bayonets but
only two eriously-Thomas Clarity
and Thomas McGlavery. The latter
may die from his wounds. Martial law
will be enforced in the disturbed dis
trict from now on.

undertaking have been matter for long
and careful thought, with very large
outlay Of capital, for those practica ly
concerned in the matter.
| The rails have been laid at a consld-
cradle distance from the shore, a fact
that will be appreciated by those cog
infant with the picturesque beauty Of
the rocky coast at Kemp Town, and the
depth Of the water above the imbedded
rails will be fifteen feet at high tide.
The passengers in the car will be 1t d
height twenty-four feet above the
rails, or with q space OF nine feet be-
tween themselves and the sea at nigh
tide
AS regards the car ITSELF it is attrac-
tive looking and pretty; it is so feet
long by % feet wide, the main deck AMI
appurtances being carried out much =
the principle Of a steamyacht. On the
center deck is a saloon with plate glass
windows and large ottoman, and there
is total accommodation on board for
from a hundred to hundred and fifty
passengers.
The car has been built by the GIou-
cester Railway Carriage Company, st.
George Moore Of Westm: nster being the
architect, in conjunction with NJ. Volk,
and it may be remarked generally that
great care has been paid to the comfort
OF the passengers.

ton, which the enterprise and never
ending ingenuity of man has provided
for the already highly favored town OF

WHOLE CABINET MAY BOLT.
Cleyeland's Advices All Against Ne
braska's Boy.

Washington, July 19.-Should the
gold democrats" ultimately decide
upon the nomination of ticket OF
their own, the new ticket will nave
the support of every member OF the
cabinet. This statement is based
upon the word of a member OF MI
CIeveIand's official family. With the
possible exception of Messrs. Lamont
and Wilson, every member OF the CAB
met prefers Mckinley to Bryan. 1t IS
not that a single one of them mas
abandoned his opposition to the tariff
policy represented by the republican
nominee. but as Secretary Morton puts
it. ''the tariff is but a minor issue IN
this campaign. Everything goes into
the background in this campaign ex-
cept the money question" That, ac-
cOrding to the secretary of agriculture,
is the paramount issue, and every
democrat who places the credit OF the
country ahead of all other issues can
do nothing but repudiate the Chicago
platform and the Chicago ticket. Post
master General Wilson finds Mckinley
the most bitter pOntlcdl PHI IHdI lie
has ever had to swallow. The posi-
ton of the two men has been so dia-
metrically opposed to each other that
! the postmaster general hesitates tC
support his great tariff opponent I'M
der any circumstances. Still, a friend
of his, who is very near to Mr.. Wilson
declares that he will not vote for Bry-
an in any event. Secretary Lamont is
democrat who is, perhaps more deep
ly interested in the maintenance of the
national credit than amy of his cabinet
associates. He is reputed to be a mil
lionaire, and as his investments are
dependent for their value upon thu
condition of the market for American
securities abroad he has very direc
interest in legislation which affect!
that market. Secretary Lamont i!
closely allied to ex-Secretary whitney
in his business dealings, and he il
usually influenced by the ex-secretary'
suggestions in matters of this kind

Milwaukee, Wis, July 20.-[Special.l
The most important step so far taken
In the preliminary plans for the Wis
c0nsin state semi-centennial celebration
III 1888 was the selection by the eX-
ecutiye committee at it's meeting on July
II of State Senator James II. Stout of
henomouie for director-general. The
committee unanimously rendered this i'm
portant office TO Senator Stout. He has
consented to accept the position tenn
pOrarily, his final action to be subject
to his ability to devote the necessary
time to make the exposition the great
success the people of Wisconsin expect
it 70 be.
This selection of Senator Stout for
Encouragement is of course subject to
the approval Of the Semi-C Centennial Elk
position company to be organized. There
is 10 doubt that the action of the commit
tee will receive the enthusiastic endorse
mgnt of the stockholders in the company,
as it does of the citizens of Wisconsin
generally. In the entire state there is
no man possessing in a larger degree the
qualifications necessary III the eXecu-
tive head of a great public enterprise of
this nature. Senator Stout is a wealthy

Incorporation and one-half at later
date; subscriptions of 800 and upwards
will be PAID one-fourth upon incorpora-
ton and three-fourths at later dates, all
Of which are to be fixed by the finance
committee.
The question frequently asked Wheth-
er state appropriation will be asked for
may be answered at the present time
by the statement that whatever the state
shall contribute to the Semi-C Centennial
exposition will be expended for perma-
nent improvements upon the State Fair
grounds, which are now practically
owned by the state. 1t is probable that
several buildings will be erected which
may be adapted to the permanent use
of the State Fair association in its an
nual industrial and agricultural exhibits.
After the close of the exposition and
:he clearing away of the temporary
structures the grounds will be the finest
for state fair purposes in the United
States, and so far as may be possible
the officers in charge of the exposition
arrangements will work with view to
the establishment of permanent improve
mentS.
Secretary Pollock at the meeting of
the executive committee submitted a
number of plans for advertising which
sill be carried out. One of these is
the adoption of artistic envelope designs
Tor use by business firms of Milwaukee
and the entire state of Wisconsin. The
Pabst Brewing company has offered
500 to be bestowed in prizes in an en-
gelOpe design competition open to Wis
cOnsin artists. The conditions of this
competition can be learned by addressing
he secretary. The prizes will be award
ID under the direction of a competent
committee upon the considerations of
originality of conception, appropriate
fence in drawing. The designs should
typify n artistic manner the develop
ment of the state in the past fifty years
either in a general way or with refer
ence to a particular subject, as agri-
culture, manufacturing. mining, lumber

shown a readiness that is gratifying to

New York, July 1S.-Bradstreet's
weekly report says that nearly all the
general merchandise markets continue
dull and that the volume of business
is smaller than anticipated. Little or
no disposition is shown to engage in
new enterprises, both city and country
merchants continuing to purchase with
more than usual conservatism in view
of the unsettled financial outlook and
the low range of prices. The total
number of business failures in the
United States shows an unexpected in
crease,-25 compared with PIG last
week. When contrasted with the cor
responding week in 1895 the increase
the past week is Al. Among the more
favorable features are relatively en-
