PAST REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS.

The first nominating National Convention Of
the Republican party held in Philadelphia
in 1856 It nominated Fremont and Dayton,
who were defeated by Buchanan and Breckin-
ridge. The which meets Tuesday is
the twelfth in the history of this great political
organization, Eight OF its nominees for the
Presidency have been elected, viz. Abraham
Lincoln. in 1860 and again in 1854 L. S Grant.
in 1868. and again in 1872: Rutherford B.
Hayes in 1876; James \. Garfield. in 1880: Rem
jamin Harrison, in 1SSS. and William Mckinley.
in 1896 Its nominees have been defeated at
three elections only-John Q. Fremont. in 1886;
James @. Blaine. in 1884 and Benjamin HaTrt-
son. in 1892
Including the coming convention Philadelphia
will have been the meeting place of three; five
have met in Chicago, one in Baltimore. in
Cincinnati, one in Minneapolis. and I'm st.
Louis. Seldom In all this period of nearly fifty
years of almost uninterrupted success has
Republican National Convention met when the
outlook for sweeping party victory
bright as II is to-day. AS a matter Of fact. there

OF every element in the couatry which antago-
nizes their policy. Those elements are in
congruous and just wide apart they were
in 1872. Already there signs that the pro-
posed coalition in favor Of Mr.. Bryan will again
fail at the polls in November through lack of
cohesive power. Populism is dissolving in
every quarter of the West-rainbow chasing has
entirely ceased.
The attempt now being made to patch up an
agreement modifying the money plank of the
forthcoming Bryan platform to meet the require
ments of Eastern Democrats is strong proof OF
this fact. The disintegrating forces always con-
cealed in every fusion movement are already
az work The Bryanites endeavoring to win
back States in the East to replace those he Is
losing in the West. 1t is not at all improbable,
the way things beginning to look, that the
dimensions of President Mckjnley's victory at
the polls in the fall will make a fourth striking
parallel between the canvass of 1900 and that
OF 1872

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Philadelphia, Pa, March IA fire
entailing an estimated loss of over
$500, 0O0 occurred early today in the re-
tail dry goods district.
The conHagration originated In the
engine room of Shoneman Bros. dry
goods and millinery store, Eighth and
Arch streets. The building was T.
shaped, fronting on three streets,
Eighth, Arch and Cherry. The engine
room was in the basement, at the
centre Of the structure. 1t Is said that,
while fire was being drawn from ths
furnaces, sparks communicated with
some waste paper, and the little blaze
spread with astonishing rapidity to the
upper floors. This was at 7. 10 O'Clock,
and the employees had not yet arrived.
A general alarm was sounded, but all
efforts to save the building were fruit
less, and it was leyelled. The loss is
placed at $500, coo.
Marks Bros. dry goods store. adjoin-
ing. was partly damaged by smoke and
water, and their storehouse was Quilted,
entailing an estimated loss of $500, 900.
The Shoneman Building was four
stories and Marks five stories in height.
The flames spread to the six-story
building, on Cherry street, occupied
by Myerhoff Bros, manufacturers Of
women's and ohildren's clothing, and
the Philadelphia Electrical Equipment
Go. Nothing was left of this place but
the walls, and the loss is placed at
$780, 200.
Several smaller buildings were seri-
ously damaged
About 1.500 persons, men, women
and children, were thrown out of en-
ployment by the fire. :. 81

MANY VICTIMS OF EXPLOSION
Fifty Bodies Have Been Taken
From the Red Ash Mine.
THE ENTOMBED MEN NUMBER 100
Search for the Missing Miners
Continued Yesterday.
There is Little Hope of Finding alive Any
of the Men Who Were In the Mine ut tho
Time OF the Explosion-Gov. Atkinson
HAS Gone to the scene OF the Disaster.

Associated Press Dispatches by Special Wires.
Charleston, W. Va, March Estate
Mine Inspector James w. Paul Is IN
the Red Ash mine, where an explosion
occurred yesterday, entombing 100
miners and is rendering wha, assistance
his experience enables him 10 give.
Fifty bodies have been removed from
the mine. Gov. Atkinson and Secre-
tary Boggs have arrived also. The
governor declares his intention to fix
the responsibility if possible, aud see
That proper punishment is melted out.
Every brattice as far back as any one
has yet gone was blown down. The
lumber in most of them was reduced to
kindling wood. One man WAS blown
out OF the mine clear down the incline.
Jim Crumpton, blacksmith, who was
shoeing mule outside of side open
ing, was thrown to the ground with
great violence. Three hundred feet up
the river mouth of the mine, the force
from within threw up the dirt and
made an opening from the outside.
There was q connection from the Red
Ash mine to the Rush Run, mine, Just
above this place, and the gas rushed
with such force from the Red Ash to
the Rush Run that the men had 10
stop work. There was no fall of the
roof in the Red Ash; but wherever
there was anything loose in the mine,
or wherever there was anything the
rush of air could take hold of and teur
loose, il was picked up and carried
toward the mouth of the mine until it
met with some iinmovaple obstruction.
| The electric fixtures were wrecked, and
the compressed air pipes we're wrenched
and torn into thousand pieces. No
| one has paused to calculate the money
damage, but it will be very heavy.
Hinstou, W. Va, March Tt Is
practically certain that AZ lives were
lost in Yesterdays explosion at the Red
Ash mine. The cause Of the explosion
is unknown, but it is supposed to tave
been caused by miner entering an
unused room in the mine with an oper
lamp. There were AZ men in the mine
at the time of the explosion; and il il
had occurred 20 minutes later, the loss
of life would have reached $50 CT more
So far, 20 dead bodies have been re-
covered, OF which seven have beeI
| identified. The others taken out couc
not be identified. The work of rescue
is being pushed as rapidly as possible,
but, the afterdamp being very strong,
men can work only few minutes at !
time. 1t it thought all the bodies viii
be recovered by tonight.

COMMISSIONERS MUST BE CAREFUL.
Warned by the County school Board Not TO
nenl Win ID. centiYn AyenIs.


The New Castle County School Board,
comprising Elias N. Moore, A. s.
Elason and Arnold Naudain, jr., held
meeting yesterday at the Office of
City Solicitor Conrad and decided to
send notices to all of the school dis.
tricts in the county notifying the COM
missioners that agents OF certain firm
are going about selling school supplies
under false prelences and warning them
not to deal with such agents.
The action was based upon letter
received from Attorney Henry Ridgely.
Board, in which, after giving tho name
OF the firm, he wrote that the agents
are now on their way to this county.
THESE agents." the letter states,
shave succeeded in Gripping many Of
do the same with yours unless you act
quickly. These fellows go to the school
commissioners with all kinds of false
tales; one OF the favurites being TINT
the cost of the articles they soil is
borne by the State out of the corpora
tion revenue. and will cost the district
nothing. In this way they have sue
ceeded in selling their wares to most of
the rural districts here. They sell his
torical and mathematical charts. These
charts are good in their way, but they
cost S37. 80 each, or $50 for the set.
Now in the first place, the State Board
has discovered that these same charts
can be bought for much less, certainly
for less than one half these prices. In
the next place. however, very few rural
districts can afford to spend so much
for one article. More than all, the
tricks that these fellows play deserve
condemnation. The State Board had a
special meeting March I'd and struck
| these charts off the list but they fear
| the agents of this concern may still try
| their game of deception; perhaps
getting the school commissioners to
give their individual notes and the
| like. ..
II think, therefore, that the best
thing you can do is TO have notices of
some kind (say postal cardsl printed,
| warning commissioners from ordering
these charts, and have the same sent to
every school district in your county.
Our commission did this same thing
last year to stop globe fake. If any
good is to be accomplished, however,
| Immediate action must be taken. This
concern has more than dozen agents.
They started up your way, as | am
told, on Friday. 1 know you will do
all il your power to protect tine schools
from this imposition.
The notices sent out by the School
Board will inform the commissioners OF
the several districts that if any con-
tracts are made with the parties named
and the supplies are paid for by the
State the money will be deducted from
the appropriations.
The board received applications from
several property owners in different
parts of the county to have their Prop.
critics transferred from one district to
another, but no action was taken, fol
various reasons, some of the applicants
not having given sufficient notice.
In short time the commissioners
will start on their annual tour of the
schoolsbthroughout the county.
