The drug store of Joseph K Perry, at the corner of Washington ami Alabama streets, caught fire last night about 10 o’clock, and was damaged to the extent of between $l5O and S2OO. The tire originated, it is supposed, from the explosion of the oil store in the rear of the store, w ith which Mr. Perry bad been experimenting during the day. The flames caught in a cloth covering bung to the ceiling, and almost in a flash the entire store was in a blaze. Fora moment it had a decidedly alarming appearance. The tire department responded promptly to the alarm, however, and after the burning ottbe cloth hanging to the ceiling the. flames were soon extinguished. Tne building, which is owned by Jacob Heims, is damaged only slightly. Mr. Perrry’s stock is iuBlirediu eastern companies for $3,000. A Knabe in the White House Baltimore American.

It is a concert grand, of beautiful finish, in a richly-carved rosewood case, and of superb tone an action—an instrument worthy in every respect of the place it is to occupy, it was shipped to its destination yesterday.

With each year the exhibition has been growiug larger, and it is now almost imposible for the association to furnish the requisite accommodations. Every available inch of space la utilized, and some of the cages are crowded to double their intended capacity. The spacious Masonic Hall has become incommodious, aud, although it is better adapted to the purpose than any other building in the city, it does uot meet the requirements for an advantageous exhibition. With its present crowded condition there is hardly sufficient light to show the tine-feathered birds in their greatest beauty. The exhibition is well arranged, however, and i6 a magnificent display of the finest fowls in the country. Over BUO entries have been made, and the exhibiters represent every State from Massachusetts to Missouri. The class * displays are all better, and particularly so in the Light Brulura and Plymouth Rock departments. Among those who have made the most noteworthy entries are W. C. Bhortrtdge, of the Union Stockyards, this city; Joseph Pool, of Greensburg; R. M. Roseucranz, of Hope; Johnson Al (’arter, of Fowler; Messrs. Jones, Evans, Miller and Laughliu, of Paris, 111.; Henry Bals aud T. W. Pottage, of this city; Sid Conger, of Shelbyville; A. C Fichle, of Charlestown; W. H.

The differj ent classes are each well reprej seated. In the turkey department there are j some maunifleent specimens, one of the most • notable being a yonng gobbler belonging to Sylvester Johnson, weighing thirty-eight potions, j Tnere are a few geese and ducks ou exhibition, i but their entry is not encotiruged, and very low premiums are paid.

The mayors of the State met yesterday in convention in the Council chamber. The purpose of the meeting, as heretofore announced, is the adoption or measures for the alteration and improvement of present municipal oodea and rules of government. The method bv which themeetiug is conducted is for the mayors to preseut requests ami suggestions, as each city is called by the secretary, and these are arranged in proper form for presentation to the Legislature. The morning session was devoted chiefly to organization and preliminaries, the convention getting down to business with the following officers: Chairman, T. C. Bridwell, Evansville; secretary, John L. Pierce, Lebanon; assistant secretary. W. 8. Armstrong, Kokomo; corresponding Sccretarj', B. C. Kent, New Albany. The entire representation is as follows: Mayors, C. A. Zollinger, Fort Wayne; John L. Pierce, Lebanon; T. W. Bennett, Richmond; Arthur Bedloe, Washington; W. B. Relight, VinKent, New Albany; L. F. Worder, Jeffersonville; L. P. Boyle, Huntington; James P. Lyne, Terre Haute; P. O. Jones, Plymouth; L. D. Webber, Laporte; L. E. Briukamp, Aurora; E. C. Vnugn, Bluffton; W. C. Thompson, Franklin; D.

Smith, Madison; Samuel Jaoobs, Lognnsport. Counclltnen—John Egger, Indianapolis; Joseph Jackson, Laporte; AI. J. Bray and H. S. Bennett, Evansville. City Attorneys—Henry Colerlck, Fort Wayne, and P. Meyer, Evansville; and Chief of Police H. M. Diehl, Fort Wayne. It was first thought advisable to refer all matters first to a committee, and a motion was made to appoint one of five. After an interchange of views, It was decided to bring all business directly before the assembly, and the motion was withdrawn. An invitation from Manager English to attend the performance ot the Harrisons last night was accepted with thanks. An invitation to take a ride on the Beit road was also accepted with due appreciation, and Mayor Grubbs and Couucilmau Dowling appointed a committee of arrangements. By motion, it was decided to call a roll of cities, that all matters worthy of consideration might be presented by the representative of each without confusion or con Diction, and Evansville suggested that the city attorney, street commissioner and city surveyor should hold office on identical terms with other officers. The convention manifested disapproval by voting it down. Adjournment was then effected until 2 o’clock. Evansville being still ou the docket at the beginning of the afternoon session, Counoilman Bray moved that the mayor be authorized to appoint a city auditor for one year in all cities where one is needed. The motion carried, with extension by amendment, to the full term for which the mayor is cleoted. It was recommended that sections 3,162 and 3.165 be changed, the former by reading * graveling, paving, or otherwise improving,” and the latter by substituting ‘*2s per cent.” for ”50 per cent.” Councilman Bray further moved that the law be so amended as to vest in the mayor, where there is no board of aldermen, a veto power, tlie same to be overruled by a two-thirds vote of the council. It was adopt* and. An invitation was then read, invitiug the delegates to atteud a meeting ol the Parliamentary Club, last evening. The invitation was accented. ! Other cities were culled, but representatives were, as a rule, not ready to respond, preferring to wait until a later session of the convention. Some of the most important suggestions are given. A motion to extend the terms of city treasurers and clerks was laid on the table to admit of reflection, the matter being considered too important for hasty action. It. was moved to ask the repeal of the law appointing city commissioners, and substitute therefor a committee of the council. Referred to a committee. An invitation from Dickson Brothers to attend the performance at tht Grand Opera-house, tonight, was then gracefully accepted. A motion was then carried for the 'repeal of the law exempting tracts of five acres or more from taxation by the city authorities, except for township purposes. A motion was adopted, without a dissenting voice, that mayors be elected for a term of four years. After other geueral discussion the convention adjourned to meet at 9 o’clock this morning for the purpose of encircling the city on the Belt railroad. Last evening the mayors attended the performance at English's Opera-house and afterward the meeting of the Parliamentary Club. A banquet will be given at the Denison House this evening by tho Mayor and City Council. A Knockdown Between Two Candidates- | Two out of town candidates for Speaker of j the Third House, mot in the corridor of the j Grand Hotel and had. only exchanged a few ! words wheu they fell to blows. They were separated by friends, who discovered the cause of tho quarrel was that the candidates had not followed the emphatic advice of their constituents, to buy their hats of Ryan, The Hatter, 21 and 23 South Illinois street, which alone would insure them the position they were seeking.
