BROOKLYN, Oct. 12.-——David A. Boody,
congressman-elect for the Second district,
was unanimously nominated for mayor by
the Brooklyn Democracy late Saturday
night. The convention was held in the
Thomas J efierson building, and was called
.0 order by Temporary Chairman John P.
Adams at 8:20 p. In. The auditorium and
gallery were packed with Democratic poli-
ticians, and seventy-seven out of the
seventy-eight accredited delegates were
present.
The Platform.
The platform indorscd the state Demo-
cratic ticket; demanded home rule for
Brooklyn; declared for honest civil service;
a reigned the Republican party for neglect
of big cities; demanded that the rights of
capital and labor be preserved; that the
statutes regulating hours of municipal la-
bur must be obeyed; praised the present
Democratic city administration; recounted
its public improvements, and pledged the
candidates about to be nominated to a
government which should afford better
and cleaner streets, plenty of water, more
sewers, a public market, school accommo-
dations for every child, a new bridge over
the East river and better police and fire
protection.
Sketch of the Nominee.
David A. Boody was born in Maine about
fifty ycais ago. lie was admit-ted to the
bar aft-er studying law at home at the
age of twenty—three, and very soon after
removed to New York, takings. place in
the. banking house of his uncle. From that
.me he has been identified with financial
affairs, mine-l, CELL-11c years, with politics.
iie one a delegate to a state convention in
his own state when only twenty-one years
old. He took an active part in the cam-
)aign which resulted in the election of
U'iuVE‘I‘ Cleveland to the presidency, and
was elected to the Fifty-second congress by
a majority of 6,000. He would have taken
his seat as congressman in December next.
The Republican Candidate.
Henry A. Meyer, of the Fourteenth
ward, was nominated as the Republican
candidate for mayor, after William Ziegler
had been unanimously chosen and de-
clined the honor. The convention was
held in the Criterion theater, and was as
exciting as the Democratic gathering was
quiet.
The Democrats Arraigned.
The speeches were an arraignment of
the municipal government of Brooklyn by
Stewart L. \‘v’oodford as treasurer of the
Republican committee. He said that
Mayor Chapin was responsible for the
iuisgovcrnment of Brooklyn. during the
past six years and the Tammany methods
that have obtained. He referred to the
seizure of the bridge by the New York
organization in the absence of Mayor
Chapin and other Brooklyn trustees, al
though this city had paid two-thirds of
the money for its construction.
He spoke of the filthy streets, the secret
conduct of local’aifairs and expenditure of
money, and above all the attempt to
squander OVer a million dollars on almost
worthless water works, an attempt frus-
trated by the ability of a private citizen.
The Republican candidate for mayor is
thirty-one ye as of age, and lives in the
house he was born in, on North Fifth
street and W ythe avenue. He is president
of the United Retail Grocers’ association,
and is popuar with food supply people
and the German element, which factors
have asked h'm before this to run for the
muycrality o 1 a citizens’ ticket. He was
educated in the public schools and passed
a theological course for the German Luth-
eran ministry in Fort Wayne (Ind) sem-
inary. He gave up theology on account of
sickness, and then went into business with
his father. He is wealthy, and it is said
will make a splendid fight.
Mr. Mills on the Tariff.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 12.—Hon. Roger Q.
Mills, of Texas, arrived here and was met
at the train by Congressman Tom L. John-
son. At the city armory he addressed an
audience of about 2,500 people. He con-
fined himself entirely to the tariff. He
said the protective tarifl had made 10,000
millionaires in America. The Republic-
ans, he said, falsely claimed as the result
of protection all that had been done by in-
vention. The price of domestic goods, he
said, had not been cheapened by the com—
petition made possible by protection, but
by the increased use of labor saving ma.-
chinery. The meeting, from a Democratic
standpoint, was a success, considering that
(ax-Governor Foraxer was speaking at
Music hall and Congressman Jerry Simp-
son in the public square at .the same time.
Mr. Fornker on the Sumo Subject.
There were about 4,000 at the Foraker
meeting. The «ax-governor confined him:
self principally to the tariff, going into
figures to show how much better off ths
American workingmen are under protec-
tion than the wage earners of Europa
under free trade. The speaker urged upon
his hearers the necessity of electing a Re-
publican legislature this year to secure the
election of a Republican as United States
senator, to prevent the adoption of the
Michigan plan of choosing presidential
electors by congressional districts. He also
strongly urged the election of Major Mc-
Kinley.
Sarcastic Simpson.
Jerry Simpson’s audience numbered
about 300. He made a plea for free coin-
age of silver and governmental control 01
railroads and all the other things for which
the People’s party stands.
-He said laws ought to be passed to bene-
lit the men who work With their hands.
“Bruin workers do not need laws. They
can take care of themselves. If a. man fails
as a minister he may become a college pro-
fessor, If he fails‘at that he may become
a railroad conductor. If he steals fares
enough he may be promoted to the presi‘
dency of arailroad.‘ Then if he robs the
stockholders successfully he may go to the
.United States senate. If, however, he fails
in all these he may still become the editor
of a daily newspaper, and call the People’s
party orators ‘calumity liowlers.’ ”
Basset! In: Bansville.
DANSVILLE, N. Y., Oct. 12.-—Few more
enthusiastic rechtioos have been tendered
Hon. J. Sloat .‘r‘a'ssctt during the present
campaign than that given him here, this
‘m-ing the candidate’s only appearance in
ivingstoue county. The Republicans of
Dansvllle and the surrounding country
made his visit the occasion for arousing
demonstration. Nearly every Republican
of any prominence in the county was
present to greet the nominee. The even
ing train on the Erie brought over 1,000
Republicans from points along the road.
Senator Fassett arrived at 6 o’clock, being
escorted from H ornellsville by a committee
headed by POstmaster Rowe. With them
were John W. Vrooman, Colonel Archie
2}. Baxter and Judge Dexter, of Elmira‘
General Rufus Scott and. Charles Ball, 0
Wellsville. As the party alighted from
carriages they were greeted by cheers and
cries of “Fassett, he’s all right!”
0n the way to Dansvillc from Olecn,
Where Mr. Fassett spoke, steps were made
at Wellsville and Hornellsville. At the
former place the candidate made ashort
speech from the train and at Hornellsvilla
he held a. reception at the Page House and
spoke brieflj to the large throng of cit-
izens assem led. In the evening Mr.
Fassett addressed an audience of 1,500 peo-
ple at the opera house.

The Conflagratlon Checked by the Use
of Dynamite.
CHICAGO, Oct. Iii—The town of Dwight,
1115., far famed in connection with its
Keeley Institute for Inebriates, is on fire
and threatened with total destruction.
Fourteen buildings, including a news‘
paper office, several restaurants and one.
of the finest hotels in the state, have been
destroyed, and the important part of the
town is in great danger. Buildings are be-
ing blown up with dynamite to check the
flames, and as the town has no fire depart-
ment surrounding towIis have been asked
for help.
A later dispatch says the efiorts to pre-
vent the spread of the flames by blowing
up buildings proved successful, and the
fire is now under control. Dr. Keeley’s
hotel—the Pennsylvania—was saved by
blowing up a building adjoining it.
The losses by the fire are: Perry’s hotel,
H. H. Cutting, cigars; Kepplinger Opera
House, a machine shop, Dwight Star and
Herald newspaper and printing office,
Dwight steam laundry, two small frame
buildings, C. Koehnlin, furniture; Rein-
hard’s restaurant and the Strufie hotel,
which sheltered 150 of Dr. Kceley’s pa-
tients. It is not possible yet to estimate
the loss.
Nearly 850,000 Damage by Fire.
PITTSBURG, Oct. 12.—Between 8 and 4
o’clock a. m. fire of unknown origin, and
believed to be the work of an incendiary,
badly damaged Rosenstein Bros.’ horse

liam Nowhatny’s machine shop and C. L.

ings destroyed were three large frame
structures. Rosenstein Bros.’ loss is $20;

$12,000, no insurance.

Leader of a liIob Charged with Murder.
OMAHA, Oct. 12.—Joseph Newshofier,
who led the. assault on the county jail
which resulted in the lynching of George
Smith, a negro, has been arrested and will
be charged with murder, the only Nee
braska statute covering lynching prescrib
ing that as the charge. Public sentiment
is strongly in favor of sustaining the men
who lynched Smith, and has gone so far
that many others propose to liberate the
arrested leader, Newshoffer, if he is not
given a prompt trial. Warrants have been
issued for the arrest of fifteen more of
those who participated in the affair. It is
safe, however, to predict that no jury can
be found in the county that will convict
any of them.

Miss Rorcross Married and Died the
Same Day.
Hrs MIDNIGHT WEDDING.
delngthe Fatal Emu- Fast Approach-
ing Rho Summoned n Clergyman to
Perforni'thc Ceremony—The Prop-
erty Left to Her Husband.
Bos’ron, Oct. 12.——Married at 3 o’clock
Tuesday morning and dead at 1:30 o’clock
the Same afternoon is the story of the
woman who passed away as Mrs. Lewis P.
Rollins, of Somerville. Her maiden name
was Kate E. Norcross, and her wedding to
Mr. Rollins, of Brooklyn, N. Y., a com-
mercial traveler for a New York hardware
firm, had been planned for a date later in
the autumn. The wedding and death
notices Were published at the same time.
Behind them lies a story more often found
in the works of the novelist than in the
life of this busy Nineteenth century; a
story of love and devotion, a deathbed
marriage and the disposition of property
worth upward of $100,000.
Pneumonia. Carried Her Off.
The couple met four or five summers
ago in the Maine town of Charleston, and
the acquaintance formed there ripened
into an engagement later. A week before
the day she died Miss Nocross was taken
with a severe cold, which rapidly devel-
oped into pneumonia, which increased
with terrible swiftness until Monday
night. When the physician broke the
news to her that she could not live, her
husband that was to be was at the bed-
side, aud in accordance with her wish Rev.
A. F. Winship was hastily summoned.
A Midnight Summons.
“Miss Norcross and Mr. Rollins wish to
be married at once; she is dying. Will
you come?” was the startling message
taken not very long after midnight to Mr.
Winship at his Perkins street residence.
The bearer was the physician in attend
ance on Miss Norcross, and the clergy‘
man, surprised though he might be, has‘
tened to answer the summons. An hour
lat-er, having with him the marriage
license, the clergyman stood by the bed:
side to which he had been summoned, and
there, as the deep toned church bells tolled
the hour of 3, united in the holy bonds of
matrimony those whom death was so soon
to separate. Sorrow had fast hold upon
the hearts of the few witnesses, but the
bride was cheerful through it all, believ‘
in g that everything was for the best.
“It is not the sort of a. wedding I looked
forward to,” she said as she smiled en=
couragement on those she was so soon to
leave. '
She Makes Her Will.
Then her will was drawn, and though
she was groWing weaker and her pulse
was only a feeble flutter she signed it with
a mind perfectly clear and a hand which
seemed to gain strength and steadiness
for that especial purpose. The will was
witnessed by the clergyman, the physician
and an attendant. It gives the bulk of the
property, reputed to be worth not far from
$100,000, to Mr. Rollins. The balance goes
to the Charleston (Me) academy. Then
she gradually sank, and passed away just
ten hours after the weird ceremony was
performed.
‘ The End of 3 Romance.
Her father was a well known resident of
Somerville. About twenty years ago he
retired from a. successful lumber business,
and up to the time of his death was inter-
ested in literary pursuits. He is reported
to have said, while in business, that he
would retire when he made $50,000.
If that was the sum on which he retired,
no one doubts that it has grown by careful
handling. In his will Mr. N orcrOss left the
bulk of his property to his daughter. His
estate is still unsettled, and one of Miss
Norcross’ motives in marrying was, un-
doubtedly, that everything might be prop-
erly looked after. She leaves no nearer
relatives than cousins. Saturday she was
laid away in the little Maine town in which
she lived.
Indians Make Good Soldiers.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Reports received
at the war department indicate that the
enlistment of Indians into the United
States army has proved to be a marked
success. So far there are seven troops
composed entirely of Indians and two
troops are in the course of formation.
