When the high wind swept the shore towns, congregations fled in a panic from rocking church buildings. Concert halls and cottages were dam: aged, and the beaches were strewn by the debris of stands aud signs. Queer pranks were played by the blast all along the coast, causing serious and also amusing accidents. Saratoga Springs, N. Y., June 9.— This resort was visited this morning by the most disastrous fire in its history. The lire originated about daybreak and BWept away a block of business buildings on the east side of Main street, in the center of the town. Among the buildings destroyed were the office of the Daily Saratoglan, the Arcade, the Western Union Telegraph office, the telephone exchange, the Cit. izens' National bank, and a number of other buildings. The fire was directly across the street from the magnificent United States hotel, and it was feared that the latter would fall a prey to the flames. Only the unusual width of the street between the buildings and the excellent work of the fire department and hotel employes saved the structure. There was great excitement during the progress Of the fire, and it was heightened by a number of fatalities that occurred. Mrs. Elizabeth Mabie is known to be dead, her body having been recovered. Seven other persons are mlsiing. and it Is feared they have fallen victims to the flames. They are Mr. and Mrs. Howland, Miss Foster, Misses Aharn, Miss Owens and Miss Morris.

With all the delegates clected and tho opening of the State convention but a day off, it is safe to say that neither the Elkin nor the Pennypacker forces can count on the necessary ISO delegates. Senator Quay announces that Judge Pennypacker will have 225 votes on the first ballot, but he is silent as to where these votes are to come from. Attorney General Klkin's friends declare they will control 200 votes, but they are equally reticent as to the source of their strength. In the meantime, Colonel Wlaires, the Lackawanna man, contents himself with the announcement that he has 28 delegates to his string, and calmly awaits the result of the contest ,Dbctween Elkin and Pennypacker. There will be six contests in the convention four from Philadelphia and two from tile First district of Luzerne. These are giving the Quay men some concern, since It Is Indicated that Elkin will control the committee on credentials. Every train arriving in the city today Is crowded with people. Among the day's arrivals were several clubs, with bands, and already the familiar scenes of convention times arc being witnessed. Washington, June 9.—Professor R. T.

The Republican State committee, will meet in the Supreme Court room tomorrow afternoon to select the temporary president. Friends of Elkin say that a majority of the committeemen are favorable to THE WEATHER. The settlement of the trouble was brought about by Michael Donnelly, president of the butchers' and meat cutters' national organizations. Sir.

"The only criticism that could be made concerning the outcome of the expedition would be concerning tlip manner in which the relief was distributed 011 the island. Notwithstanding the reports to the contrary, there was much distress upon Martinique, and had our supplies been distributed with the same generosity by the local officers as that with which they were given much more good would have been done. The governor and many of the prominent island officials having been killed by the disaster, the slowness of the relief was no doubt due to the disorganized condition of affairs. The few patients in the local hospitals who should have been the chief beneficiaries of our charitable expedition, which contained every possible article for the relief of the sick and clothing enough to have clad the population of tile island, did not receive a single article which we carried, and the two sailors from the Roraimn we brought back with us came upon the Dixie almost naked and had to be supplied wit'll clothes from the sailors' 'lucky bag." The supplies brought by the Dixie were simply stored in the warehouses. Many people of the island are without shelter, while the tents we carried remain unpacked, and when we left but little of the relief was reaching the interior of the country, where it was most needed."
