The alarm of fire between seven and
eight O'Clock this morning was caused by
the discovery of flames in the rear por-
ton of the building occupied by Mr.,
BENJAMIN Bass, on the west side OF Royal
street. between King and Cameron. A
serious disaster was narrowly averted by
the immediate sounding of an alarm and
abe prompt arrival of the fire department
en- the scene and the efectual use OF ex-
ainsnishers from the Relief Hook and
Ladder house. 1t appears that Mr.. Ben
iasnin Hibbs, who occupies apartments
in the rear portion Of the house, arose
and ignited an oil stove and after placing
a coffee pot on it returned to his cot In
an adjoining room and fell asleep. In
the meantime the blaze from the stove
sAt fire to the room and the flames, soon
invaded that in which Dir. Hibbs was
sleeu;ng and reaching his cot set fire to
his coa[ when the burning OF his llesh
awakened him. The fire by TINS time
gained dangerous headway. Several
rooms were filled with smoke and Mr.
Bass experienced difficulty in removing
his sleeping children. to place OF safely.
The damage to the house will amount 10
,between $3.50 and $500.

The primary election To-Day, Wnlle COn-
Quoted in a spirited and earnest manner,
has been devoid of excitement or I'M
seemly procedures. The bulk of the
vo'c-s had fixed upon which candidates
10 support weeks ago, and the ballots
were prepared and cast in an orderly
manner.
The polls were opened at sunrise IN
the Elks' Hall, the City Hotel, the Odd
Fellows Hall on north Columbus street,
and in the Friendship engine house.
Champions of the respective candidates
were on hand early, but many Of them
found themselves as Othello, as most
voters we're invulnerable to arguments
or appeals. They had long before Sc
lected their candidates and having cast
their ballots left the vicinity OF the cleo
iion booths. A few carriages were run
ming to and fro, but they found compar-
ativelv few who wanted transportation.
The weather, though warm, has been
fair and propitious for an election day.
While most of the friends of the sena-
torial, gubernatorial and legislative can
didates have appeared sanguine, aserlous-
ness al times was manifest, as there was
a percentage of voters who gave no hint
as to who they would support. This
element will be an unknown quantity I'M
ill after the counting of the ballots.
Preparations for the announcement OF
the result tonight have been made IN
certain places in the city, and after dark
the interest in the outcome will become
acute and remain so until all doubt shall
have been dissipated.
The contest in this city it is admitted
nv all is close, but at $3.50 o'clock a ma
iority of those about the polls said that
the chances were in favor OF Martin,
Swanson and Cation.
