IRONTON SWEPT BY FIRE,


Gonnngrnlon originates lh ohW HhA
and Sweeps Over Zen Acres OF City PTo-
perty-AId From Other CltisI.
IRoNToN, Ohio, Sept 2s.-FhIs city
was threatened with destruction to-
night, Al p. m, the saw mill OF New
man & Spencer was discovered on fire.
Before the fire department reached the
scene the flames had extended to the
lumber yard. The long drought had
made everything so combustlble that
the flames swept everything. The fire
soon also wiped out the mills and ium-
ber yards OF the Penn Lumber Com
pany, The fire soon threatened the wa
ter works and word was sent 10 Cat
lettsburg, Ashland and Portsmouth for
relief.
About twenty families were soon rem
dered homeless, two business blocks on
Second and Third streets and the st,
Joseph's church, Parochlal school and
parsonage, Columbia hall and the Bell
font Iron Works are burning ut ten
o'clock, with the heart Of the city
threatened with destruction.
At 10 o'clock tonight the supply
houses and coal bins adjoining the city
water building, were demolished by
Norfolk & Western locomotive crew us
ing a block and tackle, and the pump
ing station was saved. The opportune
arrival Of the Ashland, CKy) depart
ment with several thousand feet OF
hose. was a God-send to the city, and
at 1880, the ten-ncres OF blazing ruins
are surrounded by lines OF hose, and the
Catlettsburg, KY, fire engine has just
arrived by a special boat, This prac-
tically places the fire under control, al
though the cOnHngration viii hardly
subsde before morning.
The large plant Of Newman & Span
ner, valued at $4,000, is insured for
S2O,OOO but they carried no insurance on
eight million feet Of poplar lumber. ey-
cry plank OF which went up in smoke.
The Penn Lumber Company's plant was
valued at $4,000 They carried Sl75OO In
surance on the property, and $4,000 on
six million feet OF lumber, which was
totally dried. In addition to these
plants, the residences OF Henry Span
ner, +. Cole, Mrs. G. Kurtz, Mrs. Hall,
Henry Hern, II, G. S. MacKay and
Newman & Spanner'S large office and
warehouse. At least twenty more resi-
dences were more or less damaged by
flames. With the exception OF Newman
& Spanner's warehouse and S. Mac
Kay's property, all were insured. The
loss Is estimated at from three to four
hundred thousand dollars, with hardly
half that amount OF insurance. An area
Of three squares In length and two
squares back from the river, was en-
tirely swept. There were'no casualties,
but one man had an arm broken.

CONVENTION OF INCENDIARIES,

The wind-up Of the Hybrid Labor Com
vsntiOn ChATRctsFtIsd by nfiammA-
tory Spesehss-FFsS silver Folly Added,
CHICAGO. Sept 2S.-The three days
session OF the labor convention ended
this afternoon In a climax OF incendiary
speeches. L. NJ. Bannister, OF st, Louis,
chairman OF the convention, resigned
the gayel to introduce a resolution ad-
visng strikers in general to arm them
selves for resistance when necessary.
r. +. CFeedon, OF Idaho,was one OF the
most radical speakers. 1.-THE time has
come for radical measures II we adopt
this resolution 1t will make the ST.
Louis convention the largest gathering
OF worklngmen in the history Of the
world. Every advance in the history
OF the humanrace has been gained with
guns, and we must use them. This Is
the best thing that has been introduced
Into the convention, That is what my
people expect"
NJ. j. Mccarthy opposed the resolu-
tion az a matter OF policy, on the ground
of their intentions. He said: General
Miles has already asked that the army
be increased to 225,OOO men, and w don't
want to give these people any warning
before We go at them, or the recon-
mendatlon will be followed. 1t is poor
policy to discuss this In an open conven-
tion, because we can never beat tha
capitalists II we allow them TO prepare,
We must catch them before they are
ready"
II. NJ. Bannlster, In speaking In de.
fense of his resolution, said: 1T Is right
arms should be met with arms. This
convention, he declared, would never
have been called had II not been for the
Hazleton murders, and some action must
be taken.
A motion to lay the matter on the ta-
bic was carried after McCarthy's speech
about Its being poor policy.
The western delegates secured a free
silver amendment to the platform. They
said they were empowered to announce
that II It were not passed not q cent
more of money would come out OF the
west to assist the eastern men In strikes
and other troubles.
