Disastrous Fire in Hagerstown.

The Touring mills in Hagerstown
owned by David S. Boyer and operat-
ed by Boyer & Heard were burned to
the ground between 2 and 4 o'clock
Tuesday morning. Not only were the
mills burned, but the elevators and
coal sheds in connection with the plant
and the adjoining stables of W. L..
Wishard, J. D. Wishard and Mrs. Will
lam T. Hamilton were destroyed or
damaged. The fire started in the
frame stable of W. L. Wishard. A
stiff breeze blew the flames from the
stable to the coal sheds, north of the
mills, built over a trestle track $50
feet long. In short time the coal
sheds were consumed and the mills
were afre. For a time it looked as
though general confagration was i'm
minent. Dwelling houses and out
buildings in the vicinity were kept
drenched with water. The mills had
a daily capacity Of IS barrels Of -four
and were run day and night. There
were stored in the elevator about 7 900
bushels Of wheat, 600 bushels Of corn,
600 barrels Of -four and a lot of feed,
all of which were consumed. About
600 tons of coal under the sheds was
partly burned. Mr.. Boyer estimates
his loss on the plant at ST. 900; Boyer
& Heards loss on stock, &C., was &c.
600. Mr. Boyer had only $4,000 in
surance on his plant, Boyer & Heard
had $4,000 insurance on the stock.
The stables were insured. Several
farmers had considerable quantities Of
wheat in storage in the elevators.
Their loss is total, as none Of them had

a sediment or settling indicates an un-

urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and

Democrats, Populists and Republic
ans Unite ON a Ticket.
Fusion has been accomplished by the
Nebraska silver men with the Democrats
carrying off the disputed honor of naming
the head of the ticket. After session
lasting from Wednesday afternoon to 3
o'clock Thursday morning, the conference
committee, unable to reach an agreement,
reported the following to the three con.
yentions:
''We recommend that the three conven-
tons meet separately and ballot for judge.
All nominations shall be presented to the
three conventions, and balloting shall con-
tinue until one man shall receive ma
jority of two conventions. Each ballot
shall be announced to each of the other
conventions before another ballot is TAX
en-. The regents shall be given to the par
ties which do not secure the Judge"
This was agreed to and a recess was
taken until s o'clock, when the balloting
commenced. The candidates before the
silver Republicans were Judge Z. X.
Scott, O. p. Davis and j. S. Kirkpatrick.
The Pcpulists We're unanimous for Judge
William Neville, while the Democrats
agreed on w. HI. Thompson. After fruit
less balloting for nearly three hours the
Democrats switched to Judge j. j. Sulll'
van of Columbus. He soon obtained n
majority in the silver Republican conven-
ton and after was indorsed by the Popu-
lists. According to the agreement the
Populists then named Il. Won ForeH OF

Confessel to Arson.

William Ash, Beaver Dam man, is in
Jail as result of very peculiar circum-
stances. Thursday the barn of Andrew
Willard of Beaver Dam was destroyed by
fire and there were unmistakable signs Of
incendiary origin. The fire took place in
the forenoon and on the afternoon of the
same day William Ash, aged about 20
years, made his appearance at the county
Jail and requested the Sheriff to lock him
up. He said he set fire to Wizards barn
that forenoon and had then walked over
to Juneau to receive punishment for his
crime. He said he hoped that the Sheriff
would prosecute him to the full extent of
the law. The Sheriff placed Ash in jail
and at once notified Mr.. Willard and the
Beaver Dam authorities. He said he was
distracted Oh account of being out of
work for long time, and on the impulse
of the moment committed the crime, for
the sole purpose of being sent to prison,
where he would at least receive enough
to eat,
