Minneapolis, Minn., July 80.—About T: 15 last evening fire was discovered in St. Anthony elevator, on the east side of town, some four miles from the business cento* of the city. Two engines were sent down, but owing to the Inadequate supply of water, a small crwik being their only source of supply, their offorts were well nigh futile, and the mammoth building slowly fell before the onslaught of the flames. The elevator was the largest structure of the kind in the northwest. It was a triple building connected by bridges and tramways, and had a capacity of 2,700,000 bushels, but at this time contained but 1,100,000 bushels, a great quantity being shipped to Chicago when tho high prices caused by the "corner" were prevailing. The wheat in the elevator, it is supposod, will be a total loss, ool is estimated to bo worth $825,000. Of this amount Washburn, Crosby & Co. had 551,000 bushels, which is fully covered by insurance. The balance is likewise supposed to be covered. The loss to the building and machinery is ♦250,000; insured for $218,000?**The wheat destroyed is one-tenth tho visible supply of the northwest, exclusive of Duluth. Leading millers say the fire will only temporarily affect the supply for milling purposes. The burned building was a comparatively now structure, and was well equipped with apparatus to be used in case of fire, and had two watchmen constantly employed. How the fire started is a mystery, and no satisfactory theory can be advanced by those in position to know. FOR GOVERNOR, Newburo, N. Y., July 20.—Delegates to the Sons of Veterans encampment have begun to arrive. Department Commander J. J. Dowling, of Albany, was one of the first on the scene.

Y., July 20.—Fayetteville, the childhood home of Grover Cleveland, put on Its festal garb yesterday, and threw out its gorgeous banners and fluttering flags to greet the president. Large delegations were present from Syracuse and adjacent villag' . and at noon the streets of the town were crowded with curious sightseers. Ci.evki.and, July 20.—There is only one Ihing that a.ands in the way of tho gubernatorial nomination being tendered to Allen G. Thurnuui without even the formality of a ballot by the Democratic state convention tvhich assembles here on Thursday morning. Tlie one essential lacking is the consont of the Old Roman himself, and that it will be forthcoming within the ensuing forty-eight hourB is not among the probabilities. Time and again during the past two years ho has declared, both in public and in private, that he was out of political life for good and alt But tho rank and tile of tho stato Democracy are unwilling that tho veteran statesman should be permitted to exile himself to the shades of private life, and since the beginning of the month more than two score of country conventions have instructed thoir delegates to hoist tho red bandana over tho motto of "No surrender." Last week the ex-senator, who is now in the east, was apprised Oi the situation in a letter from his son, and without any loss of time he sont tho latter a communication, in which ho reiterated the statement that he would not accept tho nomination; that if nominated ho would bo compelled to resign—a step that would injure himself and perhaps the party, and adding that he looked to his friends to see that his namo was not submitted to the convention. Moniiouth Park, N. J., July 20.—There were six events on the "card" yesterday. For an off day the attendance was fair. The track was hoavy and slow.

The old Cleveland homestead, the schoolhouse, and the academy which the youthful Orover attended, wore decked in many colors. President Cleveland and his party left Caaenovla at 9:45 a. m. in carriages and drove leisurely along the east shores of the lake. Throughout the route villagers and farmers had decorated the houses, and at Oran a cannon was ready on the green to salute tho party, but the carriage departed from the expected route and took the road through Manlius, where a hearty reception was given. As Fayetteville was reached, the carriages were driven in a circuit in order to let tho president see the old house in which his father lived when he was a clergyman here. It was vory elaborately decorated and across the front was the Inscription: "The Parsonage."Secretary and Mrs. Fairchild occupied the first carriage, and upon arriving at the residence of Mrs. Hoyt, the president's sister, they drove past the stepping stone to allow the president and Mrs. Cleveland to first alight. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland went up to the walk and were met by Mra. Hoyt, who kissod Mrs. Cleveland and then warmly greeted her brother, the president. At 12:25 o'clock the public reception at Clinton park began, and long before that hour a dense crowd had collected. In the election for member* of parliament for the Brixton division of Lamceth, Mr. Carmarthen (Conservative) received 8,307 votes, and Mr. Hill (Gladstonian) 2,569. At the last election Mr. Baggallay (Conservative) polled 8,800 votes, and Mr. Cookson (Home Ruler) 1,886. A parliamentary election was also held In the Hornsey division of Middlesex, resulting In the return of tjie Conservative candidate, Mr. Stephens, who polled 4,476 votes against 2,488 for his Gladstonian opponent, Mr. Bottomley.

He referred exultingly to the results of the recent elections. The reduction of the Conservative majority in Hampshire he regarded as indicative of a movement in favor of Irish autonomy, and bb said that if the results of the elections in the Brixton and Hornsey divisions were similar the Liberals might rely upon the permanency of the movement. The surrender of the government in regard to judicial rents, he added, showed that they already feel the effects of the movement. THE EXPRESS COMPANIES. Some Foolish People DESTROYED BY EARTHQUAKE.

To the others the following letter has been sent by Secretary Mosley: El Paso, Tex., July 20.—Close upon the heels of the news of the earthquake at Baviope come the details of a still greater calamity at Becarioc, a town twenty miles distant from Baviepe. It had before the catastrophe 1,200 inhabitants. When Baviepe was destroyed the town was badly shaken up and most of the inhabitants fled. Since then the town of Becariac has %een visited by a succession of shocks that have reduced the whole place to ruins. Most of the people escaped, as they fled the country terror stricken on the first disturbance. cano In Action. It might be imagined that this would be sufficient to cool the ardor of the most enthusiastic Tburmanite, but late last nigbt a report was circulated in local political circles that, succumbing to pressure, the ex-senator hail decided to place himself without reserve in the hands of his friends. This report was telegraphed to Allen Thurman. Jr., by the (special representative of the United Press, nnd a reply was received, through wbich the lattor was placed in communication with a ]Dcrsonal friend of Mt. Thurman, who has come to Cleveland for the express purjxwo of representing his views. From this source it was learned that under no circumstances would ho swerve from his determination, and that a letter embodying this statement was now on its way for presentation to the convention. With Thurman, therefore, out of the way, the fight for the head of the ticket is between Congressmen Powell, Campbell and Foran. Up to Monday the former was largely in the lead. He was the second choice of many of tho Thurman delegation, und had, moreover, the personal backing of the Thurman family. This latter fact is very surprising to those who recollect the anti- Tburman part which was played by Powell in the last Democratic national convention at Chicago, but Allen Thurman, Jr., declares that neitfcer his father nor himself ever harbored any rcsentmont against Powell .for his attitude on that occasion. The Delaware congressman's prospects, however, have been seriously impaired by the Foran boom which net in Monday, and which is hourly assuming large proportions. Senator Payne is said to be at the bottom of this movement, while the alleged dicker which is to bring the organized Labor element to the support of tho Deraocratib state ticket also cuts considerable of a figure in the boom for tho Cleveland representative. An effort) has been made to induce Sen»/Dor Payne to show his hand, but although he was almost fulsome In his eulogies of Foran, he diplomatically refrained from any expression of opinion which would indicate that ho himself was responsible for his appearance as a candidate. Trintok, N. J., July 20.—Dr. Carver, the champion rifle shot, excelled his own best record yesterday, breaking 1,000 balls in forty-one minutes and a half. His best previous record was 1,000 balls in forty-five minutes and a half. He had two men loading for him, and even then he had to stop because there were no guns ready. He missed , twenty-four balls. "The commission has observed your failure to comply with the requirements of section 6, of the act of congress, approved Feb. 4, 1887, entitled an act to regulate commerce. In view of the time which has elapsed since the law went into effect, it is obvious that this failure on your part is intentional and not merely inadvertent. The reasons for the course taken by your company have not as yet been laid before the commission, and it has not as yet entertained a consideration of the question whether or not express companies are common carriers subject to the provisions of said act, further than to say on April 4,1887, in answer to an inquiry by the Canadian Express company, that until a hearing upon tho subject is asked for, it will cssume that the law does apply to such companies. The commission Is now ready to act definitely upon this subject Tour company is therefore notified and requested to comply with the provisions of said section forthwith. Should you desire to be heard upon the matter the commission, before final action, will entertain tho consideration of a written or printed argument if filed within thirty days, provided you give us notice at once of your intention to do so." New York, July 20.—The Times correspondent says: "It is a nice question if the Tory ministry will last the week out Both bye elections have been heard from. Up to this hour one shows the same ratio of Gladstonian gains which marked the preceding five. In the Basinfjstoke division of Hampshire, feWgh and dry old Tory neighborhood of squires and fariflers, where Southron Conservatism is supposed to be In its very stronghold, the Liberals have made. a gtiin of 847 upon the election of 1885, before the home rule question was raised at all. Upon a poll vote of 5,584 in the aristocratic suburban villa, the Brixton division of Lambeth, within a shilling cab ride of parliament, the Liberals to-day made a net gain of 876 upon last year in a total poll of 5,876. Hornsey we have not yet heard from, but these two tremendous reductions of Tory majorities in districts deemed so safe that the ministry vacated both confidently, making one occupant a peer and the other a magistrate, Bufflce to show to the dullest mind the universality of the Liberal reaction.Good ordor was preserved by Capt Quigley, of the Syracuse police force, and a squad of officers from that city. Howard H. Edwards introduced the president and Mrs. Cleveland, and they were received most enthusiastically. At 1 o'clock more than 1,000 people present had not shaken the president's hand, and to atone for their disappointment he made a short sptecb substantially as follows: My friends, I seo that it is impossible in the short space allotted to shake all by the hand, and I am unwilling to leave you without giving some reoognition to all. I am unchanged to-day, as far as my feeling is considered, toward the people of Fayetvllle, aud it is with extreme gratitude that I am with you. I find myself in a place above all others dear to me at the present time. It was here that I enjoyed every pleasure, sport and pastime of my boyhood.

Hay Fever THE PRESIDENT'S PROGRAMME. San Francisco, July 20.—The schooner Dora, from Ounalaska, brings sews that the volcano of Akoutan, on the island of Akoutan, one of the Aleutian group, is in a eiate of eruption. The natives say that eruptions have beon almost constant -Since the middle of May. Loud explosions occur every few moments. A large quantity of rock is thrown up hundreds of feet into the air, and at night numerous streams of lava can be seen coursing down the mountain sides, illuminating the whole country around. Earthquake shocks are also frequent. Trips Be Hay Take In Search of Infor- Buooklyn, July 20.—A special from Washington to The Eagle says: "It is the present intention of the (president, though not yet formally expressed, to take a trip to Philadelphia in September during the centennial celebration of the adoption of the Constitution by the convention of 1787, and then to return here to await the time arranged for his western tour. It is not improbable that he will visit on his return the northern tier of stated-Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and northern Ohio, with a few days at Buffalo and in western New York. He has also still in mind a trip to the south, which will also take in a flying trip through the coast states to Atlanta, returning northward through the interior states, taking in West Virginia and Maryland. Before his departure, in conversing upon the subject of these trips, the president intimated that his previous occupation and disposition to stay at home had deprived him of that personal knowledge of the different sections of the country, their people and their interests. which it was now important for him to have. When he returns he will have his hands full with politics and politicians. matlon.

Doctor's Bills, District 30 K. of I* Convention. Fall River, Mass., July 20.—District Master Workman Howard presided at the afternoon session of the convention of District Assembly No. 30, Knights of Labor, yesterday. After the reading of the roport on credentials and the transection of some parliamentary business, a number of delegates were refused admission on account of technicalities. The roports of the master workman, the secretary-treasurer, and the committee on the condition of textile industries were read and referred for future action by the convention. The report of the committee is to be printed, and will contain some iiteresting information. The investigation was intended as a test of the value of the itatistics put forth by Labor Commissioner Carrol D. Wright Itseemsthat Mr. Wright obtained most of the information from manufacturers. The committee, on the other 'land, have gone dimctly to the operatives themselves for facts. Yesterday afternoon only the Basingstoke result was known, but it served to give a bitter tone to Salisbury's speech to the Tory members in conclave at the Carlton. With repeated sneers at the servile condition in which the Unionists held tho Tories, Salisbury announced that it had been decided necessary to yield to their whims and consent to ingraft on the land bill a reduction of the present jwllcial rents. He regarded it as a foolish weakness, he laid, but it had got to be done. Then the Omngemen and English country squires, like Chaplin, raised a fearful row, declaring that they would smash the party before they would consent to sucV I remember Green lake and the fish I tried to catch and never caught, and which I supposs are there to-day.

THE DISASTER AT 8T. THOMAS. Ferncliffe Cottages, How m Mother and Her Babe Met St. Thomas, Ont, July 20.—The adjourned inquest on the viotims of Friday's disaster was resumed yesterday. The testimony so far is unimportant, very little of it bearing on the cause of the wreck. The railroad is represented by its superintendents and legal counsel. Mrs. Zealand, who was so fearfully burned, still hovers between life and death. She has been told of the death of her husband, but she had already guessed as much and took the news quite calmly. She said that when the collision occurred the interior of the firet coach, in which she was seated, became a seething furnace, and the flames hid her husband and child from her view. She clambered through a window, but became fastened and hung there in terrible agony until the wood work burned away. Her hands are burned to a crisp. While in that pof _ ton she could see the interior of the car and witnessed the death of Mrs. Smithers »Jd baby. They were sitting npright in the car enveloped in flames, the babe clasped to the mother's breari. Suddenly they fell to the floor and '/ne flames encircled them. She describes the scene in the car as one of indescribable horror. The other injured are all progressing fairly. Death. Lake Cany, Wyoming Co., Pa., Are Row Open for tbe Reception of Guests.

The stock market continues dull. The tone of speculation was weak throughout and prices steadily sagged from the opening until noon. At the last named hour prices were down M to 1)4 per cent, as compared with last night's closing. About a half dozen stocks absorbed the entire business of the morning—viz.. Heading, Richmond and West Point, Western Union, Lake Bliore, Union Pacific. New York and New England, St. Paul, and Louisville and Nashville. Aside from these stocks very little was done. The first three named were comparatively firm and recorded only small declines, l'ne last three, however, were weak and were on the dowu gtade almost continuously. There was uo news uf any kind to aftdct either the general market or any particular stock, and the decline was attributed to the manipulation of the board room traders. The sales for the morning amounted to i8.uK) shares. The stock market was weak duriug the afternoon and prices made further declines under the lead of Union Pacific, St. Paul, oiid Kco-liug. Tho stocks were especially weak and declined on nearly every transaction. A rumor circulated on the Stock Exchange late In the afternoon that Prince Bismarck was dead contributed to the depression. The close was weak at the bottom figures of the day. The decllue ranged from M to 1H per cent. The dealings of the afternoon were mainly in small lots. At times there was little or nothing done. The salos amounted to 1*3,337 shares. Milwaukee, July 80.—Gambrinus Assembly of the Knights of Labor is getting ready to secede from the order on account of the temperance views held by General Master Workman Powderly. The local heads of the order have done everything in their power to stay rebellion, but without avail. The Gambrinus Assembly is the most numerous and the wealthiest organization of the order in Milwaukee, and has from 1,000 to 1,500 members. The employes in the breweries are practically unanimous that they cannot ro* main with the order uuder the circnmstancea At a recent meeting a committee was appointed to confer wiih the brewers and ascertain whether the contract made for one year in May would be affected if they left tho order. There is little doubt that the desired assurance will be given, and when it is the assembly will step out and form an independent organization.
