BLAZING STREAMS OF wHIsKEY
Forty Seven Thousand Barrels Go
 Up in Smoke.

Midway, Ky, Aug. 6-This town half way between Lexington and Frankfort, was the scene of a fire that for time threatened the town with destruction last night. The fire which is believed to have been of incendiary origin, destroyed five warehouses of the s. J. Greenbaum Distilling company, entailing loss estimated at s300.000. The amount of insurance is not known but it is believed the loss is amply covered.
 The flames caused by the burning of the forty seven thousand barrels of whiskey which turned a creek nearby into fiery stream that could be seen for ten miles. The flames as they coursed down the surface of the creek destroyed the Southern railway trestle and half dozen negro cabins.

Last Days Devoted to Their Own
 Private Interests.

Boston, Aug 6.-After having captured the city with their mili- tary parade and the great historical pageant of yesterday, the Knights of Pythians to-day got down to busi- ness, and from now on the conven' tion becomes a matter of private ln- terest to Pythians only.
 The election of officers to-day promises to be the climax of the su- preme lodges twenty-fifth conven~ tion. There was no doubt in the minds of the knights that Henry P. Brown of Texas would be elected chancellor to succeed Charles A. Barnes, but the contest for the vice. chancellorship was expected to be an energetic one. Four candidates were in the fi-SS for this office, Dr D. Sidney Woodwork of Fitchburg, Mass; George NJ. Hanson of Calais, Me; D. I. Salinger of Carroll, Iowa. and R. H. Jackson of Pittsburg, Pa. Tn the election of the uniform rank, Major General Arthur J. Stob- bart of Minnesota was opposed for reelection by Brigadier General James H. Barkley of Springfield, III.
 The members of the uniform rank have now turned their attention to the grand prize drill competitions. which commenced yesterday on Iranklin field. Prizes amounting 10 s1l, ,000 are offered, and are being competed for by 23 companies en- tered from Indiana, New York, Geor> gia, Michigan, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Alabama, Pennsyl- vania. Maryland. Ohio, and the maritime provinces.
 Already the exodus has begun from Camp General Joseph H. Lyon, and hundreds fsve left either for their homes or for summer resorts in New England, although camp will not be broken officially until Sat- urday.
