THE COUNTY CANVASS.

The county canvass is becoming
warm. The candidates are busy get
ting the pledges of their friends to
attend the primaries and work for
their favorites. Much depends upon
the nominations. Unless the conven
ton is determined to nominate only
the strongest men, without regard TO
individual preferences, the party
would he better off without a con-
vention. Ifthe convention be doml-
mated by one or another faction, II
will prove a curse rather tnan
blessing to the candidate. There Is
another well known element that has
been taking an active part IN demo
cratic conventions, and are ardent
democrats until the nominations bC
made and afterwards are very I'M

THE WINDSOR HOTEL BURNED.

The Windsor Hotel in New York
was burned last Friday afternoon.
The loss of life was terrible, l6 are re-
ported dead and forty-six missing,
some of whom will be found among
the dead. I here also fifteen injured.
The fire broke out, from an unknown
cause, while many of the guests were
at the windows looking at process
sion passing by. Among the guests
were DR. II. NJ. Wharton and wife.
The Doctor had gone down town
leaving his wife in her room. While
down street he obtained an evening
paper containing the startling news
that the Windsor Hotel was burned.
lie hurried back and found that his
wife had escaped by sliding down a
rope from the fifth story. Her hands
were much lacerated and she was
suffering somewhat from the shock
but her condition was favorable and
she was able to return with her hus-
band to Baltimore.
Tie wife and daughter of Mr.
Leland, the proprietor, were killed.
Later reports account for many OF
the missing who were either out OF
the hotel at the time of the fire or
made their escape.
1t now seems evident that the fire
was the work of incendiaries who
were prepared to rob the hotel. One
man was captured with 10000 dol
lars worth of jewels. The fire broke
ont IN different stories about the same
time and men were observed walking
about in an apparently unconcerned
manner. These are supposed to have
been members of the gang who had
planned this wholesale robbery.
