Ceremonies Following Notitica.
ton Speech Of Judge Taft.

Cincinnati, July r,,l-Following the
delivery of his speech of acceptance
Judge William H. Taft, Republican
nominee for president, reviewed a
two-hour parade of marching clubs.
L.. During the parade the notification
committee sat on the covered porches
to admire and applaud until the end
of the procession was in sight. Auto
mobiles followed the last marching
club and the committee members were
taken aboard and whisked through the
city into the suburbs, out to the
famous Cincinnati Country club,
where, later, upon being joined by
Judge Taft, they were served with an
elaborate but informal luncheon.
Meanwhile in the city the end of
the ceremonies was marked by the
release of hundreds of tiny balloons
and a considerable number of large
ones. Daylight fireworks were set off
In the government square, the bands
played and the crowds continued their
demonstrations. 81
The days festivities we're brought
to an end by g night programme of

notification committee and distin-
guished guests from the steamer ISL
and Queen, which was escorted up
the Ohio river by flotilla of pro-
fusely illuminated smaller craft.

steamer Wing King, engaged in the
local passenger trade, foundered dur

steamer and several lighters foun-
dered. Fifteen houses In the town

MILL CITY PYR0MANlAC.
Starts Ten Fires in Business District
Within Half Hour.

WITHIN 7ai1 f1our.
Minneapolis, July '5.-Ten blazes
within half an hour and within a
radius of three blocks, all started by
an Industrious incendiary whose iden-
tity is still unknown, kept the lower
wholesale district of Minneapolis in a
turmoil and furnished considerable
work for the fire department. In ev-
cry instance the fires were quickly
extinguished and the loss suffered
was small.
Armed with a torch and a quantity
of oil soaked paper the maniac calmly
set about burning the entire business
district of the city, After lighting ten
buildings he was frightened away and
made his escape. The police have his
description and are making every ef-
fort to locate him. r@
Samuel Zimmerman of Zimmerman
E. Stone was the first to discover the
fire in the rear of the Hennepin Trad

work succeeded in putting out all the
fires with total loss of but $4,000.

HARTMAN IN TIL
COULD SYS TEN
Railroad Wizard Extends His
Sphere Of Influence.
NEGOTIATIONS UNDER WAY

Hartman Interests Will Render Much
Needed Financial Assistance to the
Gould Roads and in Return the
Head OF the Union Pacific System,
Will Aid in Shaping the Policy Of
One Of His Strongest Competitors. i
New York, July George J.
Gould, head of the Gould system of
railroads, on returning from Europe,
said that nothing would give him
greater pleasure than to have E. H.
Hartman in the directorate of the
Gould roads. Replying to question
whether Mr.. Hartman would become
director Of the Gould system Mr..
Gould said: al. ~.
Il cannot say, except that nothing
would give me greater pleasure than
to have Mr.. Hartman with us. We
need all the help of able men that we
can secure. The railroad managers
lot is not particularly a happy one.
Some of the diamonds have dropped
from our crown"
Mr.. Gould said that he knew moth
Ing concerning an arrangement for the
payment of $S,000,000 of notes of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad,
which fall due on Aug. 1. Concerning
his own property he said: !.
I'VE are not yet out of the woods"
While business had not yet reached
the volume of last year, he added, his
roads were now doing nearly normal
business. The receiverships of some of
bis roads, he stated, were of a friendly
nature and were designed to keep the
properties intact and to protect them
from hostile state interests.
Good Crops Will Help Roads.
Mr.. Gould laid much stress upon
the excellence Of crop conditions,
which, he said, particularly affected
the welfare of the Gould roads.
CONCERNING the Standard Oil de-
Qision Mr.. Gould expressed unqualified
satisfaction. Il think" said Mr..
Gould, that marks the turn in the
business situation. Looking at it from
tho standpoint of railroad credit moth
ing did more to hurt this credit abroad
than the huge fine assessed by Judge
Lands. The foreign investors felt
that at any time their property might
be conflscated through no fault Of
their own. Judge Grosscup's decision
again affirmed the American motto of
fair play"
Mr.. Gould added that he thought
the one to answer for corporation mis-
deeds was some Individual, not the
innocent stockholders.
. It was reported that following Mr..
Gould's return there will be series
of conferences between representa-
tives Of the Gould interests, E. H.
Hartman and Kuhn.- Loeb & Co. and
that as result the Gould roads will
receive strong financial support and
Mr.. Hartman and Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
will have share in the management
of the Gould system. Negotiations
looking to that end are said to have
taken place before Mr.. Gould went
abroad
