MALVERN, ARK, BURNED.
Almost the Entire Town Destroyed
Suspected Incendiaries Arrested.

Suspected Incend diaries Arrested.
Little Rock, Ark, July 18-The town
of Malvern, Ark, at the junction of the
Hot Springs railway, was almost en-
tirely wiped out by fire at an early
hour this morning.
Malvern was a little city of about
5000 inhabitants, the business portion
of the place being clustered around the
railroad station. All this section was
destroyed, only three business houses
remaining. The total loss is variously
estimated at from 5000, 900 to S4OO, 900,
only small portion of which is COW
cred by insurance.
The burned buildings include the rail-
road depot, two hotels, the bank and
all the principal business houses of the
place. The fire is without doubt the
result of a plot to destroy the town.
The blaze broke out about midnight
in 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 prob
ability that the incendiaries will be
summary dealt with.
The principal losses are: E. Adams
loss. $4,000 fully insured; Hughes &
Moray, $25, 600, partially insured; w
H. Cooper & Bro, $4,000, insurance,
So, 900; H. A. Butler, $40, 900, Insurance.
$4,000; H. Barnett, SO, 200, no insurance;

a SNAP For BALD.
The Buffalo Rider Has Practically a
WaIk-over at Detroit

Detroit, July 18.-The national cir
cult races under the auspices of the
Detroit wheelmen, began on the Wind
sor Driving clubs track yesterday af-
ternOOn. The mile circle has been put
in perfect condition, but a heavy wind
prevailed. The withdrawal of Tom
Cooper and Sanger, owing to a differ
ence of terms with the Detroit Wheel
mems club, left the mile open race a
comparatively easy race for Bald.
The Buffalo flyer took the first heat
with strong squirt at the three-quar-
ter pole, beating out Con Baker, Har-
ers. In the final heat. E. c. Johnson
led to the last turn, with Bald a close
second. The riders moved up into a
bunch with LOnghead, the Canadian
rider coming fast. Bald made a Won
derfuI squirt at the last stretch and
won by a half length.

DISPUTE OVER FUNDS.
Silver Party Not Likely to Get Any
of St Louis Citizens Subscription.

St Louis. July 1S.-An interesting
controversy is going on between execu-
tive committees of the Populists and
silver parties and the citizens commit
tee over the distribution of funds to
defray the expenses of the two con-
ventions.
The citizens committee insists that
the contract for the holding of the two
POpuIist committee and that the fund
was a lump sum for both conventions.
In other words the only party the citi-
zen's committee had any dealings with
was the PopulistS and the silver men
are unknown to it SO far as expenses
are concerned and the silver men must
look to the POpulists for aid in that
line if they get any.
The sum to be devoted to the Popu-
lists by the citizens was $4,000 and
that is all they will get.
