at Roanoke and Radford. Va; Blueflelc,
wv. Va, the next stopping place will be
reached in the afternoon. A fire in the
governors mansion at Charleston, an
alarm for which was turned in as the
meeting was in session created some
disturbance at the meeting at that
place, especially as it was hastily rum
ored that it was a trick TO break up the
meeting. The fire did little damage
either to the mansion or the meeting.
David B. Hill sent Mr.. Davis a tele-
gram from Indianapolis, which was
read at the Charleston meeting, TO the
effect that after confering with numer-
Gus state leaders, Mr.. Hill felt confident
in predicting Democratic victory in In
diana.
