VICIOUS INCEND|AR|SM| Strange Negro Sets Fire to a
 Northside Residence. !, SAM MINGEA THE VICTIM The Fire Starts With an Explosion In the
 Dining Room and the Fiend
 rg Escapes.
 
INCEND|AR|SM

There was a vicious case of incendiar- ism in Birmingham suburb last even- ing
 The residence occupied by Sam Mingea, Eleventh avenue, near Twenty-first street, was burned at 6 o'clock yesterday, together with all but a few pieces of his furniture.
 The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary origin. The object of the miscreant who set the torch to it is not known About the hour mentioned Mrs. Mingea saw a negro on the porch and ran to shut the door. As she did so loud explosion was heard in the dining room, and going there she discovered it to be filled with flame and smoke. The alarm was sound ed and the fire department promptly re- sponded, but when they reached the place the fire had gained such headway that they could do nothing with it.
 The smoke at first was strongly i'm pregnated with oil, and it is supposed the negro had poured a considerable quantity of it on the walls and floor.
 MT. Mingea carried $500 insurance on his furniture until recently. when the policy expired, and he had not had it re- newed.
 The building was frame structure and was valued at $500 or $200O.
 The negro who fired the house made good his escape, and there is no clue to his identity,

BLACKBURN NOMINATED
On the First Ballot-The Free Silver Candidate Got Twice as Many Notes as the
 Goldbugs.

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 10.-The demo- cratic joint caucus to nominate a United States senator was called to order at o'clock tonight by Chairman Stevenson. Four senators and nine representatives were absent.
 Immediately after converting Senator Force moved that the caucus adjourn. He said the democratic party had come to it's worst pass. It would be more to the purpose for democrats to defeat the election of a republican senator, as the nomination of democrat would only be an empty honor.
 The yeas and nays were called and Senator Forces motion was lost by a vote of 38 to 13. Senator Bronston of Lexington nominated Senator Blackburn in a long speech. Senator Fillmore of Graves seconded the nomination.
 Senator Taylor of Henderson accused the McCreary forces of creating discord in the party.
 Senator Stevenson nominated Ex-Gov. J. B. McCreary in speech in which he said his heart bled for the melancholy situation in which he now finds the dem- ocratic party in Kentucky by the dis sensions among it's members. Senator Force seconded McCreary's nomination.
 MT. Blackburn was nominated on the first ballot, which resulted as follows: J. c. Blackburn 37; J. B. McCreary, 13; John Young Brown, 6.

WANTS ID REFER AND DEFER The Finance Question to the Na- tional Democratic Convention, DOES MIR. w. H. LAWSON Of the State Democratic Executive Text
 of a Resolution He Will
 Introduce.

The following communication by spe- cial delivery mail came to the State Her aid last night:
 To the State Herald
 It is my purpose to offer the following resolution before the state committee at it's next meeting and I ask that you pub fish it in order that the press may discuss it before the committee meets:
 "Inasmuch as tho democrats of Ala bama hold contrary views upon the ques- tion of finance, and to the end that the democrats of Alabama may be united in the election; therefore be it
 Resolved, That we, the democratic state executive committee, do earnestly recommend to the county conventions, county primaries and mass meetings (called for the purpose of selecting dele gates to the democratic state conventiom to instruct their delegates to favor the proposition to refer the financial question to the national democratic convention. That said delegates to the democratic state convention be further instructed to favor an equal division of the delegation from Alabama to the national democratic convention between the two factions of the party, known as the sound money and silver factions.
 Tt is the opinion of the committee that the government of Alabama in the hands of those who love Ala abama, her people and institutions, is of far greater impor- tance to our peace and prosperity than the question of gold, silver or bonds."
 I trust the press will advocate the pas sage of the al bove resolution by the com mittee. W. H. LAWSON.

Opposed to General Arbitration. ,.

London, Jan. 1O.-The Times will to- morrow pour cold douche on the idea of scheme for permanent and general arbitration between the United States and Great Britain. The paper admits that the object is a noble one, but says that it is Utopian and unattainable. It is not without it's danger No nation can consent to submit certain issues to arbi- tration. There must be reservations and limitations.
 The Times is of the opinion that prac- tical men will see that the scheme is not workable and will begin to suspect that these projects are prompted by pusil- 1animity not humanity.
 The paper urges that the best way to convince the Americans that war with Great Britain over the Venezuelan squab- be would be unjust would be to state the British case fully as soon as circum- stances admit, and concludes by saying that there would be no harm in trying, and that it is not easy to see what possi- ble advantages can be obtained by hang ing back.

The Men Will Strike.

Philadelphia. Pa. Jan. 11.-At l o'clock this morning 1t was impossible to learn whether strike would take place today on the Union Traction company's lines. There was no one at the headquarters of the Amalgamated association to give any information on the subject. The va fious divisions of the association were voting upon the question, but at the di- vision headquarters all information was refused and inquirers were referred to the general headquarters. From the men who were talked to at the division head quarters 1t would seem that the men are in favor of another strike It Is believed
 that the officials of the association are absentng themselves from headquarters with the view of not coming in conflict
