Nothing could be done yesterday toward
estimating the damage TO the stock of the
Andrew Hanley Company by Friday
nights fire. Water continued to run down
through the flooring from the flood poured
on by the fire department, and before this
had got out OF the way the rains came on
and again sent a regular freshet through
the entire building.
Last night the sound Of the water run
ming from floor to floor was easily heard
in passing. Until the adjusters arrive moth
ing will be done toward removing and re-
claiming the stock. They are expected to
begin to get here this morning and there
viii doubtless be little delay in getting to
work.
The continued soaking of the stock will
tend to further deteriorate its value, and
the salvage viii be increased by prompt
pany's representatives. The roof of the
building is gone entirely, and in this kind
of weather there is a likelihood of the
whole lower three floors being kept wen
soaked.
MI Hanley opened up in new temporary
quarters at No. 32O Broughton street, west,
yesterday morning. Some goods were ar
irving by rail- and were moved in there,
the books were brought over, and a start
was made to meet the demands of trade
Many friends called to express their re-

der-in-Chief Goblin favors Shaw, of New
York. for his successor. AS Shotts, of
New York. has not proven a formidable
opponent to Shaw. the name of General
Daniel f. Sickles is freely used in that
connection. Sexton, of Illinois. has
been regarded as a favorite in the race
for commander-in-chief until the re-
ports were circulated about General
Goblin and his administration being in
favor of Shaw.
General Goblin denies any aggressive
work in favor of any candidate. but ad-
mits that he is an old friend of General

of Sandusky. hope to see the contest
between Shaw and Sexton become so

Pana, Ills. Sept. S.-There is no mar

to put them to death. No such motions
were offered after union officials
reached the scene. and the miners deny
that such motions were ever made. In

Coburn's preparations are directed es-
