A MERRY AND LIVELY WAR
The Convention of Plntt Republi-
cans Will Meet This Evening and
Nominate Gen. Tracy, “7110 Later
“fill Retire 1 r1“?!
(By Associated Publishers’ Press.)
New York, Sept. 28.—The political
situation in the second city of the
world is decidedly mixed. Tammany
has a gold and silver fight within the
Wigwam and the anti—Tammany forces
are divided on the question of spoils.
Seth Low has been nominated for
Mayor as a non-partisan Republican,
for whom all independent citizens are
asked to vote, and to-day Mr. Platt, a
resident of Tioga. County, but a. dic-
tator in metropolitan politics neverthe-
less, is holding a machine Republican
convention, and will nominate Gen.
Tracy, ex-Secretary of the Navy.
It has developed that the shift from
Olcott to Tracy has not impressed the
local leaders as a wise move. They do
not like to swap horses While crossing
a stream, particularly such a. perilous
one as they find themselves in. More-
over, the New York men do not warm
up to Gen. Tracy as a. candidate, and
are rather reticent about prophesying
that he will make a popular candidate.
The organization presents to-day a
solid front in favor of the policy of the
That policy will include the
can be found, the nomination of Gen.
Comptroller and R. Ross Appleton, of
Brooklyn, for president of the Council;
a. reafiirmation of the St. Louis plat—
form and a declaration for union and
Unless the present
purpose is changed, there will be no in-
dorsement of Mayor Strong’s adminis-
I 5tration; and as Mr. Edward Lauter—
bach is writing the platform it is not
probable that the street railway in-
terests will find much fault with it.
There are persistent rumors among
Republican politcians that the opposi-
tion to Gen. Tracy’s nomination is be—
ing quieted by the assurance that Sec-
retary of the Interior Bliss will ulti-
mately be the union nominee for
Mayor, and Mr. Low will withdraw in
his favor. Senator Pla-tt and Messrs.
Quigg and Gibbs are quoted as having
said that President McKinley had
agreed to urge Mr. Bliss to accept.
Secretary Bliss has repeatedly declared
that he could not allow his name to be
used, and within the past few days has
showed some annoyance at the con-
tinued'talk about his possible accept-
ance.
The convention met at noon. Lieut-
Gov. Woodruff was made chairman.
Committees upon resolutions were
named and adjournment was taken to
8 o’clock this evening.
Gen. Tracy has requested that Dis-
trict Attorney Olcott make the nomi-
nating speech, and the District Attor-
ney has consented. Chauncey M. De-
pew is also down for a talk, but
whether to second Tracy’s nomination
or on the‘general topic of union is not
known.
$70.000,000 of Patronage.
Were it not for Mr. Low the fight for
the control of the second city in the
world that is to be, with its $70,000,000
financial budget, would be between two
parties—the Republipans and Demo-
crats. .
Mr. Low’s nomination, however, has
encouraged the creation of nearly half
a hundred independent bodies of more
or less formidable proportions.
THE CENTRAL WRECK.
The Cause of the Explosion \Vill
Never Be Known. '
’Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 28.—The wreck
of the Northern express, near George—
town. on the Northern Central division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was one
of the most peculiar in the history of
the road. E. B. Mitchell, of this city,
the engineer, was instantly killed, and
John R. Cawley, the fireman, also of
this city, was so terribly scalded by
escaping steam that he will die.
The locomotive boiler exploded while
the train was running. The engineer
was thrown up the side of a hill for
fifty feet, and the fireman was hurled
down the bank to the river’s edge. The
boiler was thrown through the air 150
feet, and the tank of the engine was
found as far away in another direction.
The train was a heavy one, consisting
of an express and baggage car, sevnal
day coaches and two Pullman sleepers.
All the cars were derailed, except the
last sleeper, which stuck to the rails.
No passengers were hurt, but all were
seriously shaken up. Residents of
Georgetown who heard the explosion
of the locomotive at first thought that
it was an earthquake. They hurried
from their beds and gave all the 2.15-
sistance possible to the injured men.
Just what caused the eprOSion will
never be known. The locomotive was
taken from the shops on Saturday
after being overhauled. Trains were
passed around the wreck on a tem-
porary track.
Engineer Mitchell was on his first
run, after having been away from the
throttle a week attending a meeting of
the Legislative Board of the Allied
Railroad Associations, of which he was
re-elected. president on Friday. He was
a very‘ popular railroad man, and a few
years ago was a, candidate for the
Legislature. ’
Enter-tallied a Bullfrog Unawares.
Railway, N. 3., Sept. 28.-—-Albert Van
Sant,‘aged 20 years, of Melton avenue,
this city. has been gradually losing
weight for the past two years until
now he is a. mere skeleton.
Saturday-the young man threw up
a bullfrog nearly an inch and a' half
long. Since then he has expressed
himself as feeling better, and it is be-
lieved that instead of consumption the
presence of the frog was the cause of
his trouble.
The Monetary Commission.
Washington, Sept. 28.—The Monetary
Commission has made arrangements
for fitting up permanent quarters in
the Arlington Hotel. The suggestion to
go to Philadelphia to hold the sessions,
which originated in a. desire to consult
the personal convenience of ex-Sen—
ator.Edmunds, who is chairman of 12."
commission, has been abandoned.
'. WHOSE FAULT IS IT?
A Local Occurrence That
Will Interest Many
Readers.
If when a foghorn warns the mariner
to shear of}? the coast, he still hugs the
shore and wrecks upon it, whose fault
is it ‘9 If the red switch light is up and
the . engine driver deliberately pulls
ahead and pitches into another train,
blame the driver. If a. careless work-
man will, in spite of warnings, try to
find out how many teeth a buzz saw has,
and the saw tries to find out how many
fingers the workman has, blame the
workman—not the saw. If a sick man
knows that a certain medicine is doing
him good, and he carelessly neglects to
use it, blame the man not «the medicine.
If Norwalk people who have kidney
complaint and backache will not take
Doan’s Kidney Pills, when they are en-
dorsed by scores of citizens, blame the
people, not the endorsers.
Mrs. Joseph Whitley of 61 Belden
avenue, says: “ I was reading the pa-
pers one evening, and came across an
advertisement of Doan’s Kidney Pills,
and at that time I was annoyed with a.
pain in the small of my back and was
thinking of trying some preparations to
see if 1 could get relief. Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills seemed to me to be above the
average judging from the cures they
had made, and I got a box at Genden-
ing’s drug store and took them. They
produced decided and satisfactory re-
sults. I recommend them to my friend:

'The New Year service is symbolical,
the chief feature being the blowing of
the “Shofar,” the tom’s horn. This rite
is peculiar to the day, and the hearing
of the trumpet blast is obligatory. It is
commanded in Leviticus xxxiii. 24: “In

CORBETT OFFERS FITZ $15,000.
\Vln or Lose, Lunky Bob Could
Make This by Fighting Again.
New York, Sept. 28.—Billy Brady, in
an interview with the World, said:
"If Corbett is as easy as Fitzsim-
mons says he is there are men who
will give a $20,000 purse for him just to
fight for, and Corbett will make a side
bet of $10,000, depositing the whole
amount at once. or as much more as
Fitzsimmons cares to make it, making
it at the lowest calculation $50,000 for
him if he beats Corbett again.
“Some day the inside facts of the
Corbett and Fitzsimmons fight at Car-
son will be made known, and the pub-
lic will find out that Corbett was
stacked. up against a pretty strong
combination when he went to Carson.
“Corbett will never enter a ring again
unless it be with Fitzsimmons. He
doesn’t have to, as he has plenty of
ventures and has nothing to complain
about in the future.”

Albany, Sept. 28.—Dr. Edward J.
Bermingham of New York city has
Board of Health at Liberty, Sullivan
county, to erect a sanitarium there for
the treatment and cure of consump-
tives. That place is a favorite resort
for New Yorkers afflicted with pulmo-
nary diseases. Dr. Bermingham has ap-
pealed to the State Board of Health
from the decision of the local health
officers at Liberty on the ground that
they have no authority to prevent the

I The New Jersey Amendments.
Trenton, N. ,J., Sept. 28.——The fate of
the proposed amendments to the con-
stitution of New Jersey will be settled
to-day. The two amendments exciting
the most interest are the ones prohibit-
ing gambling and allowing women to
vote at school elections.
The result on the racetrack amend-
ment cannot be predicted, but there ap-
pears to be a decided movement in fa-
vor of the women suffrage proposition.
The racetrack men fear the vote of
the farmers in the interior counties will
beat them.
