The fire originated in Card welts drag store snd Orersrhousr to-night and quickly spread to adjoining buildings, completely gutting the following: O. Bedwita, restaurant; no insurance. Malheur A. Potet, dry goods; almost tout loss. 11.

Gadscomb, saloon. Henry Morgan; barber The Western Union Telegraph office and about five other baiklings in the block were burned. The Episcopal church and the First National Bank were only scorched. The losa la esti mated at from one hundred to one hun dred and fifty thousand dollars. At this writing the amount of insur ance can not be given.

It. la supposed that tho Oprfm-Jiouse was art on fire by small boys. A' telephone mesmge was received by MaJ. Hughes last night abont o'clock from llsrrodsbnrg. aaylac that a firs was raring, which threatened to destroy the business portion of that thriving little uty.

The firemen and citixens of tho plsce bad been working with the flames for some time, bit thrir effort proved unavailing, and the whole town appeared to be in imminent danger of de struction. They asked that an engine be sent to their astdstunce, but owing ta a wreck on the Louisville Southern rail road no train could leave here until JO o'clock this An attempt was made to communi cate with Harrodsburg, both by tele phone and by telegraph, last night, but without success. The Telephone Ex change could not even call Lexington. At the Western Union office It waa stated that repeated attempts bad been made to communicate with Harrodsburg, but without success. No answer could be gotten from the Western Union operator, and then an attempt was made to reach him by way ot Cincinnati.

The Cincinnati office stated that message bad been received from the Harrods burg operator to tlie effeet that the fire was approaching him, and that he would have to leave. At 1 :45 o'clock this morning word was received that the fire was under control, having burned all within its reach and that there was no danger of an outbreak of tlie flames unless a nigh wind came up, which would carry the sparks to the part ot the town that bad been left untouched. Ma. Hughes had an engine, 1,730 feet of hose and a number of firemen in readineta to go, but upon the receipt of a telegram stating that the Ore was under control be turned around and came back. No definite news can be learned of the conflagration, but it is reported that half the town is burned.

The snp- pubitlon is that the telegraph office was burned. From this fact it is believed that the fire ia in the business portion. which must all be swept away, entailing a los? ot many thousands of dollars to stock and property. Harrodsburg has been the scene ot many suiting incidents in connection with tlie early settlement of Kentucky, It is a thriving and prasteron place, and is the seat of Daughters' College and other institutions of learning. It is situated la the midst of a fertile country and numbers among its inhabitants many wealthy people.

A disastrous fire would be a serious disadvantage not only to the town, but to the surrounding country which does business there. While Harrodsburg is prosperous county-seat town, the greater portion of ita buildings axe old frame structures that afforded abundant fuel for a fire. A few years ago a spirit ot universal enterprise developed in the business menad prcperty-owners, snd a number of large, handsome, houses were erected on tii-i main street, but on all the adjoining streets tbc' houses are principally built of wood. It is sot probable that Ike town has any kind ot a fire department, unless it is volunteer service which, wont cable to eope with a fire after It bad gotten nnder good hftdway.

Alonzo Wygant, tue Chicago General Agent, who waa present by request, maniiestly felt uncomfortable, and beat a hasty reterat after he had made a brief explanatory addreitt. He said the tnited States Express Company and some other are paying most of ttuur prolita to tue railroads.

i be future of the express business is not bright, he said, aud he would not put a suaw in their way if any of theni could better their condition elsewhere. A strike would be fruitless. for the company would certainly resort to tue employment ot inexperienced hands. Ikvpite Mr. Wygant's assertions, however, the men expressed themselves in unqualiiied terms ia favor ot latin a firm stand and holding out against the company.

Charlea Kobe said it the of ficers had made unfortunate contracts with the railroads and got the company in a bule the employes were not responsible. Card suougiy urged union and Concerted action. Sir. Johnson said be had been sent down from Milwaukee for tlie purpose of attending the meeting. The men in Milwaukee, he reported.

It is the general belief that the notorious young Wils.

The best people ot Harlan proper have left the place, and all say that they intend to let the fighters now have an open field until they are all killed or subdued by the Government. Those who have been law-abiding, say they are public targets for the men on both sides, and that they would take their lives iu their own hands by staying longer within the limits of Harlan county.

Disgraceful Straggle Between Klval Claimants to the Pal pit of Hnnv boldt Park Cnarck, Chicago, April 2a crass mis ihm," German for "oat with ban." the cry which rang through the Court of Pontious was heard in a Chris tian church in Chicago to-day, ai suiting' tbe action to the word, angry men forcibly ejected from the church a preacher of the gospel. It was the culmination of trouble ta tbe Illinois Conference of the AtaoTiation. which resulted in the division of the eonrereuco last week into two sections, each claiming to alone leeas the ecclesiastical authority of the conference. Each conference ap pointed pastors for all the churches in tbe State, so that each church has two ministers.

At the Humboldt Park church, this afternoon.4 the Rev. Mr. Mor loch was 1o preach his farewell ser mon, and. under the itinerant system. his successor waa to be installed.

The adherents aad appointees of both eoa- fereaoes were on hand, eocb deter! mined to take possession of the church and to Install ita pastor. The Wiscon sin Conference had appointed Rev. John Vetter, and tbe Shefbekl-aveoae Confer ence licensed Rev. A- Heihsaa. When Pastor Morloch and Pastor- elect Heilman attempted in company to close ths Sunday-school, preparatory to other services.

Sundey-ecbool Superin tendent Theodore Krueger aad Pastor- elect Vetter demanded their authority. Immediately a number of tlie congrega tion leaped to their seats and seised Mr. Vetter, while Mr. Heilman jumped down trom the pulpit aud across tlie nhanoel mil.

If the Court refuses to allow him bail, it is thought that bis ease will come ap for trial tbo first Monday la May. Congressman Grosvenor. of Ohio, wsa asked to-night when tbe Brpal Ifcaa. leaders in tbe House would lie likely to ean ap tae McComas bill, and bis reply was that tbe Hepublicans would probably not allow the bill to Come up be fore the question is fully discussed In caucus. It is proposed to hold a cau cus on this matter ia the near future.

Worn asked if any more of the lie publican Congressional Conventions would be exiled fug the new districts that have been made in Ohio. Gen. Grosvenor said that he could not speak for any but hi own. in Taylor district the committee has recognized, apparently the. gerry mandering by the Legislature, and bad called a convention for tbe new In bis own district, no action would be taken for same time.

Very few. If any of the members ot Congresi, added Gen. Grosvenor, qiir tion tire etTOjtutioaaiity at the Mo-Comas bill, but a great many question Its expediency. It ean be stated that Gen. Groarenoe ia himself opposed to the McComas bill, but whether he will aobcrt his opinion.

in tbe event of a caucus decision that the Ke publicans shall support tho measure, remains to be- seen. Most of Cie Republicans are anxious to have the McComas bill become a law. ia order to cheat the Democrats out of tiie gains they expect to make by the recent gerry mandering of Ohio; bus it may be that the bill will have to be poshed aside for other and mure urgent legislation. a Many members af Congress barn been heard to express themselves favorably on the bill to provide for tha.erectioa of Bostffioe buildings la all towns and cities, whoso postal receipts exceed; S3, 000 per year. They think that it will ia the end save a great deal of maney, as iJy two millions esn be spent In a year and it will preveut Congress from voting a $50,000 building for a town where fifteen or twenty thousand dollars would really answer the purpose.

Special bills indepsndrat of the general Law will in future have to be passed, where towns or cities are compelled to havo boUdings costing more than S23.000, it this general law is enacted. a The nomination of John Bens CongreHB in tbe Second Indiana distrx to succeed Congressman O'Neal, was great surprise to tlie Indiana delegatioi Mr. Benx was ths short horse in rsoe, the odd agninst him being least 100 to 1.
