A good deal of interest is manifested In the coining Pennrylvania Democratic state convention. The state committee meets at Pittsburg March 11th, to select the time and place. This, according to a Times dispatch, will be the preliminary battle ground of the friends and opponents of Tilden. That Tildeu will make a great effort to carry this state cannot be doubt ed, and his first move was to have the state committee meet in Pittsburg, where it would be away from the Bayard influ ences of the Philadelphia Democrats. But the Philadelphia politicians will at tend solidly and do all in their power to prevent Tildcn's ulans being carried out there. The Tilden-Itandall idea is to have the state convention either at Pittsburg lor Erie, while the anti-Tilden men want it in Harrisburg. Chairman Miller, of the state committee, who w ill he temporary chairman of the convention, is a Tilden man. Against Tilden the most powerful of the leaders are arrayed. In Philadel phia there arc Bcrger, Cassidy and Mc- Gowan, and in the country Wallace, Woolvcrton, Souden, Singcrly, and the men who were in the combination that carried the convention in 187S against the Tilden influence. Tildcn's friends are Speaker Randall, Scott of Eric, the Barrs of Pittsburg, and Hopkins of Allegheny. And these are backed up by Squire Mc- Mullin of the fourth ward of Philadelphia, who was trimphantly acquitted in the lo cal courts a few weeks ago for shooting a fellow Democrat. — Elmira Free Press (Dem). The day after the Utica Convenliu the West Chester Village Ftcord said: •'lf there were more telegrams between Senator Conklin and Senator Cameron yesterday, some of them probably read in this wise: UT'CA, February 25. DEAR DONALD : 1 appreciate, now, your work at Harrisburg. We got the medi cine down 'cm here, but it went very hard. They kicked and squealed outrageously, and pretty nearly got away with me. 11. C. WASHINGTON, February 25. DEAR ROSCOSK : Yes; that's the way I found it, exactly. Glad you had a chance to see for yourself. If there is so much trouble at Harrisburg and Utica, how w ill it be at Chicago? J. 1). C.

The lire was start ed in a barn, and a train of powder leading to two dwellings, conducted it to the very heart of the villiage, and destroyed every business place in the town, besides many dwellings. Several explosions of powder occurred during the lire, which, in addi tion to the heavy wind prevailing rendered all efforts to subdue the lire unavailing. One young man was fatally burned. Loss $118,000; insurance $50,000.
