lied the peoples party, renewed its
former declaration of principles, and

icals controlled the convention, they
could not carry out their programme
without a bolt from the northern del
egates. The western and southern dell
egates nominated Wharton Barker and
Ignatius Donnelly, and declared the
principles Of the recognized party.
The eastern states were not repre-
scented.
The candidates for president and vice
president have been Identified with the party
ever since its inception and both are known
as ultr0-radicals on the most extreme doc
trines Of the populists. Both OF them sup
ported Thomas Watson for vice president
in 1886 and bitterly opposed the efforts at
fusion at that time and ever since. They

recovered. while score or more are
said to be in the ruins or missing The
fire originated from a gasoline stove
in a cabin and spread so rapidly and
fercely that it was impossible to save
even the clothing. The fire was con-
fined exclusively to the business por-
ton of the town, and the open group
intervening between it and the nam

wise the loss and suffering would have
been terrible. Many people from Je-

trains, while those remaining are be-

Over 175 buildings burned.
The area of the fire was confined to
a narrow gulch and ravines leading to
it, in which were located substantial
wooden and stone buildings, the latter
melting as rapidly before the flames
as pasteboard. Over $50 residences,
averaging in value $4,000; IS general
merchandise and other stores, sa-
looms, etc. of all kinds. are wiped out;
in short, not a single business house
remains. The only building to escape

of man and wife and three children,
who endeayored to save what they had
been years in accommodating, have been
found in the ruins, and as the arrivals
from the scene reach the city, the de-
vastation reported is only the more
pitiable and sad. DIR. Woods, the com

ing all his patients in the hospital. but
by good judgment a score of inmates
were saved by him by being removed
early and hastily.

Almost a Serious Fire.

Monday night about IL o'clock the
alarm of fire was given and soon a
large crowd gathered on Main street to
find that the fire was in the Hardware
Store. A colored man passing along
the street discovered the fire and gave
the alarm.
It was found that the building was
burning about the middle. on the
north side. The fire seemed to have
started behind the plastering. The
general conclusion was that it was
case of fire from rat with match.
When the door was broken open the
smoke was 80 dense that men had to
feel their way. It was not long before
the fire was extinguished with little
damage except the broken door which
was forced open and some little burn
ing of the counter, saw to the
amount of $50. But after it was
all over it was learned that the fire was
near keg OF powder. This made II
quite dangerous but those who were
putting out the fire did not know it.
Had the fire occurred few hours la
ter the building would certainly have
been burned together with Camp and
Andrews store and Mrs. w. III. White
millinery store.
