HALF A MILLION IN NUGGETS.
Rich Claims on Eldon-ado Creek in
the Yukon Country.
Seattle, Wash, Oct. 5.—George Stan-
ley, who ismining on El Dorado Creek,
in the Yukon, writes to his father in
this city that claims owned by his
father and partner, Warden, on El
Dorado Creek, will pan out half a
million in gold nuggets this coming
Winter. The letter predicts that claims
on Bear Creek will turn out as rich as
those on Bonanza and El Dorado
creeks, pans averaging $5 each. Stan—
ley also writes that the Canadian Gov-
ernment is exacting a royalty of 25
cents per cord on wood to be used in
thawing out the gravel this Winter. A
similar charge is also made for logs
used in building cabins for the miners.
During the Summer forest fires have
destroyed a large amount of cord
wood. Owing to the scarcity of water
but little sluicing has been done.

tor, Dr. William Carr, of New York

The board has withdrawn from mem—
bership in the National Association of
Dental Faculties on account of the lat-
ter having reduced materially the pre—
liminary requirements for entrance i0
the dental examinations under its ju-
risdiction. To make it possible for all
dental students to take the same li-
censing examination a resolution has
been adopted by the board requesting
the State Board of Regents to suggest
to the Ccrztal colleges that they hold
the; (:01: mencements on or near the

MRS. MC ENROE GETS A DIVORCE.
Allowed to Resume Her Maiden
Name by]the Court.
New Haven, Conn, Oct. 6.»Mrs.
Eleanor F. McEnroe, daughter of Capt.
Fred J. Peck of this city and grand-
daughter of Commodore Richard Peck
of the New Haven and New York
steamboat line, is now free from her
husband, Eugene F. McEnroe of New
York. Judge Roraback of the Superior
Court granted her a divorce in this
city Tuesday afternoon. The divorce
was obtained on the ground of intoler-
able cruelty, and Mrs. McEnroe was
permitted to change to the name of
Peck. »
The defendant in the case, Eugene
F. McEnroe, is a relative of Richard
Croker. He is chief clerk to Register
William Sohmer, of New York, and it
is said that McEnroe procured the of-
fice through Croker. The divorce case
was heard on an ex~parte hearing last
Friday. McEnroe had entered a con-
test to his wife's complaint, but with-
drew it after she had agreed to strike
out infidelity as one of the causes and
leave the sole cause of complaint as
intolerable cruelty.
According to Mrs. McEnroe’s state-
ment her husband was insanely jealous
of her and became enraged when an-
other man would notice her. They
Were married in April, 1895, in St. Pat-
rick’s Cathedral, New York, by Arch-
bishop Corriga-n, a special dispensation
for the ceremony having been obtained
from the Po A wedding supper at
Delmohico’s olimved the marriage.
The McEnroes separated about a year
ago, and since then Mrs. McEnroe has
lived with Commodore Peek in this
city.
ANNEXATION OF HAWAII. ,1 \
Senators Proctor and Lodge Say
that Union ls Assured Practically.
Boston, Oct. 6.-United States Senator
Redfield Proctor, of Vermont, who was
in this city yesterday, said that, in his
opinion, Hawaii would be admitted to
the United States at the next session of
Congress.
"I think,” he said, “that the great
majority of Americans are in favor of
acquiring control of the islands, if for
nothing else but to keep them out of
foreign hands. Annexation in some
form is the only way of reaching that
end.”
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, is
credited with saying that he looks upon
the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands
as practically accomplished.
“The treaty,” he said, will be taken
up at once, when Congress assembles
In December, and I think that there is
an easy two-thirds majority in the Sen-
ate in favor of its ratification. If it
should appear probable that an opposi-
tion is developing, sufficient to defeat
ratification, the remedy will be very
simple. There is a joint resolution of
annexation of the islands on the calen-
dar, which does not require a two-
lhirds majority. _
Sheehan and Croker Make Up.
New York, Oct. 6.-—Jchn C. Sheehan
ls still the ostensible leader of Tam-
many Hali. He did not resign his place
yesterday, but he was successful in
it apparent that Richard
Croker and not John C. Sheehan is to
be responsible for the Tammany Hall
ticket and the management of the
campaignthis year. - 4
That is what Mr. Sheehan was striv-
lng for from the time that it became
apparent that Mr. Croker had set his
heart on the, nomination of a ticket
which Mr. Sheehan felt was unusually
weak, and which was bitterly opposed
by a majority of the memberS‘of the
Executive Committee. He suggested to
Mr. Croker. that he did not care to be
held responsible for the ticket, and
that he had better resign the leader-
ship. Mr. Croker opposed this, because
he knew that the resignation of Leader
Sheehan at this time would be proof
positive to the rank and file that the
stories of trouble among the leaders
were true.

I CONNECTICUT’S ELECTION.
mg Majority for the Educational
Qualification of Voters.
Hartford, Ct., Oct. 5.-——The election in
this city yesterday was on the adoption
of the constitutional amendment re-
quiring electors to be able to read in
the English language any article of the
constitution or any section of the stat-
utes of this State before being admit-
. ted. The voting here was very light
and the amendment was approved by a
practically unanimous vote—1,151 for
‘ and 51 against the measure. The vot-
ing all over the State is about in the
same ratio.
Elections were held for town officers
in every town in the State excepting
Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport.
Mayors and full city governments
were voted for in New London, Water-
bury, South Norwalk and Norwalk.
The results have no particular betr-
ing on the political situation. In Mid-
dletown much interest centred around
the license question, which at last ac—
counts had a majority of 700.
I The Republicans elected nearly their
‘ entire ticket and they are also ahead
in Meriden and New London. Some
three hundred illegal ballots were cast
in New Britain for the Republican
school visitors, and the result will de-
pend o‘n their being accepted.

I Filing Nominations at Albany.
Albany, Oct. 5,—Yesterday was the
last day for filing with the Secretary
of State certificates of regular party
nominations. Independent nominations
may be filed- up to and including _Oct. 8.
The official ballot this year will contain
.party columns for the Republican,
'Democratic, .Prohibition and Socialist
Labor parties. The People’s party
seems to have abided by the decision
of the Attorney—General that they were
not entitled to a party column this
year, as they cast loss than ten thou-
' sand votes last Fall. The People’s par-
ty has not filed any nomination for
Judge of the Court of Appeals, as has
' been usual with them, and they will
not be represented on the official bal-
l lot this year unless they nominate by
petition. This is unlikely, owing to the
great work necessary to secure the
6,000 names which are required before
such a nomination can be recognized
by the Secretary of State. ’
Protesting Against an Appointment.
Washington, Oct. 5.—Several pro-
tests have been filed at the War De-

pointment of the Rev. David H. Shields
of Shippensburg, Pa., who was recently
appointed to the post of Chaplain in
the Army by President McKinley. The
Rev. Mr. Shields is a. Methodist minis-
ter, and received some very strong in-
dorsem‘ents, among the signers of his
application being nine of the twelve
bishops of the Methodist Church. There
are names also of some very prominent
men throughout the country signed to
his application.
It is said that the r'signation of the
chaplain has been called for, but in,-
quiry both at the White House and
War Department fail to elicit anything
to bear out the statement.

Although the new Cabinet embraces
respectable talent, it is less strong than
it was expected it would be.
It is currently reported that the ani-
mosities and jealousies which are so
conspicuous in Spanish politics thwart-
‘ ed Senor Sagasta’s efforts, and that he

GEN. REEDER TO BE TRIED.
l‘he \Vrtts 'ol Habeus Corpus Dis-l
missed in the Wanamaker ease.
Easton, Pa., Oct. 5.—The cases of Gen.
‘Frank Reeder, until recently Secretary
of the Commonwealth; Assemblyman
Weiss and M. \... Luckenbach, who are
charged with conspiracy to defame the
good name of John Wanamaker, of
Philadelphia, by scheming to have a
bribe offered to Weiss for a vote for
Wanamaker for United States. Senator,
came before Judge Scott yesterday. It
is alleged that a. bribe was offered to
Weiss last month, and an action in thc
matter is now pending against E. A
Van Valkenburg, one of Wanamaker’s
lieutenants. The District Attorney
moved that the writs of habeas corpus
be dismissed on the ground that the
surrender of bail had been voluntary on
thepart of the defendants.
The counsel for the defence objected.
W. C. Shipman, private counsel for .the
prosecution, said that his side was
ready to proceed with the case. The
court said that the motion was in con-
formity with the practice of thec'ourt,
and unless the defendants could show
good cause the motion of the District
Attorney would be allowed.
ACCUSED 0F BUYING DELEGATES.
State Senator Miller, of Penusylva-~

Reading, Pa., Oct. 5.—~Democratic
State Senator W. Oscar Miller has
been arrested, charged. with assisting
in buying up a bunch of delegates at
the last Democratic county convention.
The sworn allegations made before Al-
derman Brownweledhat Senator Mil-
ler, who was taking a. hand in fixing up
a slate for the county offices, bargained
for a lot of votes in the convention to
nominate a candidate for Recorder of
Deeds. The alleged stipulation was
$1,000 spot cash, or a clerkship in the
Recorder’s office. The delegates are
said to have delivered, and Senator Mil-
ler’s friend,‘ Daniel W. Reeser, nomi-
nated. The alleged bargain was not
carried out on the Senator’s part, and
hence the suit on the part of the per-
son who says he delivered the men. A
similar suit was begun against Reeser.
Senator Miller says the charge is ab-
solutely untrue, 'and that it is simply
an attempt at blackmail or intimida-
tion. Each accused man gave ball of
$1,000.
CORNELL FRESHMAN MISSING.
Mysterious Disappearance from Ith-
aca of a. Brooklyn Boy.
Ithaca, Oct. 5.—Frank Powers Park-
inson, of Seventy-eighth street, Bay
Ridge, Brooklyn, a graduate of the
Boys’ High School and a freshman in
Cornell University, on Sunday morning
mysteriously disappeared from his
temporary residence in Ithaca, 192 East
State street, without giving his friends
any knowledge whatever as to his in-
tentions. He ate breakfast as usual at
his boarding-house, 23 Heustis street,
returned to his room, and his room-
mate, A. L. Wessels, being absent.
packed his valise and departed, to go
no one knoWs where. On Sunday night
his immediate friends in Ithaca, S. H.
Benton, W. E. Phelps, A. L. Wessels
'and R. L. Haskell, made a search for
him, but without success. A telegram
has been sent to his home in Brooklyn
in order that his parents might be in-
formed of the facts and a more careful
search made. At the time of his dis-
appearance he wore a light gray suit
of clothes, 3. light brown overcoat, a
dark brown Derby, eye-glasses and
brown shoes. ~
IN THE BASE BALL FIELD.
Boston Wins the First Game in the
Temple Cup Series.
Boston, Oct. 5.—The old champions
went down in defeat before the new
ones yesterday in the first'game of
the Temple Cup series. The game was
loosely played, a curious medley of hits
and errors, with an occasional brilliant
bit of fielding by way of spice. Neither
team played in anything like champion-
ship form.
The real feature was the crowd,
which overran the field, and made nec-
essary a ground rule that a ball hit
into the crowd should be good for two
bases only.
Nichols and Nops were pitted against
each other, and, so far as base hits
went, Nops had the better of the argu-
ment. Nops. howex er. was wild as a
hawk, and of the seven Bostons he
sent to first on balls no less than five
scored. This was the deciding factor
in Boston’s victory, for not an Oriole
got to first without hitting the ball.
The score was as follows:
Boston ......3 0 0 1 '2 5 0 2 x—.-13
Baltimore ..‘.4 0 1 0 9 3 2 0 0—12
MRS. BALDWIN LOSES $25,000.
She Was the Bride Who Was Paid
$45,000 by the New York Central.
Troy, Oct. 5.—Mrs. Homer Baldwin,
formerly of Troy but now of Brooklyn,
alleges that she has been defrauded of
nearly $25,000 by a. supposed friend, who
led her to invest the money in Jeffer-
son iron stock, which proved worthless.
Mrs. Baldwin, while on her bridal tour
a few years ago, was badly injured in a
railroad wreck, and was otherwise
frightfully disfigured. She recovered
$45,000 from the New York Central Rail-
road Company, and she advanced the
money to the supposed friend with the
belief that she would have a fixed in-
come. Mrs. Baldwin intends to bring
action against her false friend, who is
said to be one of the best-known busi-
ness men in Eastern Pennsylvania.
