IN THEIR NI0HTIES.
Virginia College Near Roanoke,
Barns and Occupants save
Bat Little.

Roanoke, Va, Nov. Virginia
College, an institution for young
ladies situated just outside the city
limits of Roanoke, was totally de-
stroyed by FIRE this morning. 1t
was a short while after the "rising
bell" had been rung when the
Railways Of the big building filed
with smoke. The young ladies
we're notified to lose no time it get
ting out of the building. The word
was quickly passed around and the
girls, $50 in number, made their
way out. Many of them were
thinly clad, wearing little more
than the simple costumes of the
bedroom. There was little con-
fusion and none of the pupils were
injured.
The fire started in the boiler
room and in less than two hours the
buildings were entirely destroyed.
The loss is $4,000, with about
SIS, 900 insurance. The buildings
belonged to Miss Harris and Mrs,
Boatwright.
The students will be kept to-
gether in Roanoke a few days until
it is decided where the school will
resume.

an national convention to order at 1874
o'clock yesterday. After prayer the is
survivors of the first republican conven-
ton and the flag then flown were intro

speech said the vital issue is: You were
in the depths of adversely under the last
democratic administration: you are on the
heights of prosperity to-day. Will that
prosperity continue if you make change
in your president and in the party which
administers your governments" In con-
GLIDING the senator said:
I'VE do not say that we have panaceas
for every human ILL., We do not claim that
any policy we or anyone else can offer
will drive from the world sorrow and suf-
fering and poverty; blu. we say that so
far as government and legislation can
secure the prosperity and well-being of
the American people our administration
and our policies will do it, 1t is on these
facts that we shall ask for the support
of the American people. What we have
done Is known, and about what we In
tend to do there is neither secrecy nor
deception. What we promise we will per-
form. Our old policies are here, live sue
cessful, and full of vigor. Our new poll
cies have been begun, and for them we
ask support.

war hung dark over the country In 1861

We are on the eve of another great
struggle. Already we are beginning to
