A BIG EFFORT TO DEFEAT SCRANTON
rsrxcu.L telegram to thi dispatch.
Philadelphia, October 24. ThePat-tison-Delaniater
contest seems to have over
shadowed the Congressional fights in this
State, though they are subjects of fierce
battles in their respective localities. It
feems probable that there will be a number
of cbantcs in the present delegation.
One of the most interesting Congressional
rights iu the State is that which is now
going on in this city in the Third district,
where Congressman Kichard Vaux is run
ning as an Independent Democratic candi
date against the regular Democratic nomi
nee, Sf-ator William McAleer. Between
the two the Bepuhlicans could easily elect
a candidate of their own, but Quay does not
want things that way. He cares nothing
about the next Congress, but he does care a
great deal about electing Delamater Gov
ernor, and be thinks tbat he sees in the
present split among the Democrats a fine
opportunity for getting votes for Delamater
by trades with the Democrats Congres
sional aspirants. He ordered the Repub
lican machine of the district to indorse
Vaux, and it did so at his bidding.
A CHANCE POE TBADING.
The object of this proceeding seems to
have been to serve notice on McAleer that
ii he wants any Republican votes he must
itep up to the CapUin's office and state his
terms, and those who know him have no
doubt that he will do so. Congressman
Vaux is too pure and high-minded a gentle
man of the old school to stoop to any trades,
but McAlter is of a different stamp. To
facilitate the work soruj such accomplished
manipulators as David Martin, Magistrate
Durham, Joseph L. ifobre, Prank "Willing
Leach and David H. Lane, none of whom
lives in the district, opened an office in it
vesterday at Fourth and "Walnut streets.
?Co attempt to conceal the purpose of this
bold move is made, but the Democratic
managers nave placed a watch upon the
ofare, and every Democrat seen entering it
will be a marked man.
-Latins the btate as a whole, many
changes will be made in its Congressional
representation. The Bepublicin Congress
men from this city, Bingham, O'Xeil, Eey
bnrn and Harmer, will doubtless all be re
turned, and in the Sixth district the prob
abilities favor the election oT Senator John
B. Robinson, n most skillful politician. His
antagonist is Thomas W. Pearce, of Chester
co'mty, an Independent Republican and
who has been placed iu tbc field by the
Democrats. He is making a fight, but as
Robinson has a Republican majority of
over 7,000 to fall back on, he may be put
down as a sale winner.
DEMOCRATIC HOPES.
The Seventh adjoins Philadelphia on the
north and is composed of Montgomery and
Bucks counties, which are respectively Re
publican and Democratic. At the election
for State Treasurer last year Montgomery
gave a Republican mnjorityo" 47and Bucks
a Democratic majority of 518. This year
there is great disaffection among the Re
publicans in both counties, while the Dem
ocrats are united as never be ore. The
latter liavea popular candidate in Edwin
Hallowcll, a larmer, while the Republican
nominee, Irving P. Wanger, a lawyer, is
objectionableto a large element of his party
because of his close affiliations with Quay,
whose lieutenant he is in Montgomery
county. The farmers are very strung in
thit district, and, unless all signs mil, will
end Hallowell to "Washington by a trood
majority.
From" the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth dis
tricts Mutchlcr and Brunner, Democrats,
and Brosius, Republican, will be returned
without much opposition.
Congressman Josenh A. Scranton, editor
of the Scr mon Republican, and one of the
influential members of the present House is
making a hard struggle for a re-electioi in
the Eleventh district. He is opposed by the
Hon. Lemuel Amerman, late Supreme
Court reporter, and an old nd close friend
of ex-Governor Pattison. Mr. Amerman
has great eiements of strength, and was
shrewdly recognized by his party as the
strongest man in his district He was the
only Democrat who could have made it even
interesting lor Mr. Scranton, who is the
lecognized head of the party machinery in
the county, and the most influential Repub
lican in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
DISAPPOINTED OFFICE SEEKERS.
Mr. Scranton's dinger lies in the number
oi oisappomiea omce seeKers who claim to
have been greatly wronged. In Taylor
Tille, a thriring borough with a large Re
publican vote, Dr. Houser, who sighed for
a poslofiice in vain, is engineering an in
dependent movement, with what success re
mains to be seen. Bjck of Mr. Amerman
stands "iheco I king," "William Connell.
Mr. Connell u anted the nomination lor
Congress, but could not obtain it because
Mr. Scranton had a grip on the pariy
machinery. Finding that the district is in
cluded among the doubtful ones, the Dem
ocratic National Committee has decided to
put forth efforts to capture it, and the cam
paign fund placed at the disposal of the
local leaders is said to be a large one. The
Jriends oi Mr. Scranton teem confident, but
Mr. Amerman's party workers declare that
they have the battle already won.
The Twel.tb district, composed of Luzerne
county, is a good deal like the Eleventh.
In 18i7 it gave a Democratic majority of
8ji, in 1888 a Republican mnjoritv of 328,
and last year a Democratic majority of 422.
The county is normally Democratic, but has
a mining population very susceptible to cash
considerations, and this year the Repub
licans have also naturalized hundreds of
Hungarians in it In the present contest
George "W. Shonk is the Republican Hon.
gression.il candidate and J. B. Reynolds the
Democratic A Democratic Representative
was elected from thisdistnet fouryearsago.
A GEEENBACKEK'S DEFEAT.
The Thirteenth district will return James
B. Reilly. a Democrat, who two years ago
defeated Charles N. Brumm, a Republican
Greenback demagogue, who had been
elected four tinies to Congress. The Repub
lican canddat this year is John F.Shoener,
u Greeubacker, who has no show o success.
Tnc Republicans oi tins district, which con
sists f Schuylkill county, ire in a state of
ntt rdemoralization, caused by the cpen re
helliun ot a considerable element of the
party.
From the Fourteenth and Fifteenth dis
tricts Benrcsentative J. W. Eiie and Myron
B. Wright will undoubtedly be elected oxer
tneir Democratic antagonists, William I. I
Gorges and A. Lathrop, In the Sixteenth
district neither party has yet made a nomi
nation, the Republicans being, in an ap
parently hopeless deadlock, which has
lasted for weeks over the claims of three as
pirants from as many counties Clinton,
Tioga, and Potter and the Democrats wait
ing to see what they will do. Ii the Re
publicans finally make a weak nomination
or split, the Democrats will probably nomi
nate ex-Congressman Mortimer L. Elliott,
who was elected as a candidate at large from
the State in 1882, and he will have an ex
cellent chance of winning.
INSTEAD OF BUCKALEW.
Representative Charles R Buckalew, who
was a United States Senator from Pennsyl
vania in war times, but who failed, though
a very able man, to make much impression
in the Lower House because of his advanced
years and natural indolence, has been re
tired by the Democrats of the Seventeenth
district and ex-State Senator Simon P.
Wolvertoa nominated in his place. The
district is reliably Democratic, and Mr.
"Wolverton, who is a lawyer and capitalist
oi brains, will be elected The Eighteenth
district will, in all probability, re-elect,
Congiessman L. E. Atkinson, a Republican,
though there is a good deal of opposition to
him because of his seeking a tourtb term.
His Democratic competitor, Captain George
"W. Skinner, was one of the Democratio
leaders in the last Legislature, and is very
popular.
Congressman Levi Maish, a Democrat,
will be succeeded by another Democrat, ex
Congressman Frank E. Beltzhoover, iu the
Nineteenth district, and lrom the Twentieth,
where the Republicans are having a good
deal of trouble in agreeing on a candidate, a
representative of their faith will, in all
likelihood be sent to "Washington. In the
Twenty-first district the Republicans got in
such a snarl over the nomination that they
finally asked the State Committee to select
a candidate for them. Ex-Senator Huff was
picked out by the committee, and will be
elected, as the district is Republican.
ALLEGHENY'S BEPBESENTATIYES.
No doubt is entertained here as to the suc
cess or Dalzell and Stone, tbc Republican
Congressional candidates in Allegheny
county. In the Twenty-lourth district Con
gressman Joseph Ray has been turned down
after one term to make way for A. J. Stew
art. The district is Republican, and Stew
art's election over A. P. Craig, his Dem
ocratic opponent niav be looked for.
The triangular fight in the Twenty-fifth
district is a source of much interest and
anxiety. In the Twenty-sixth, formerly
represented by "William-L. Scott, the Re
publicans have set aside Congressman W.
C. Culhertson alter one term and nominated
Matthew Griswold to succeed him. The
Democratic candidate is A. L. Tilden. The
district is reliably Republican except when
Mr. Scott runs as a candidate in it
The vacancy in the Twenty-seventh dis
trict caused by the death of Congressman
Louis F. Watson will be filled by Charles
W. Stone, the present Secretary of'the Com
monwealth oi Pennsylvania, and one of the
Republican candidates for the nomination
for Governor last June, when Quay nave it
to Delamater. Mr. Stone is a man of abil
ity, and will be quite an addition to the
Pennsylvania delegation in'Congress.
KERR'S SUCCESSOR.
The last district, the JTwenty-eighth, is
Democratic, and is now represented by
James A. Kerr, the Chairman of the Dem
cratic State Committee. Taking advantage
of Mr. Kerr's absence, from the district
while attending to his duties at "Washing
ton and the work of the State Committee in
this city, his enemies combined against him,
while he supposed his friends 'were looking
alter his interests, and secured delegates
enough to rfefea. him for renomination.
George E. Kribbs was nominated in his
place. This was a shameful piece of busi
ness and has caused much indignation
among Mr. Kerr's friends. Two years ago
Jlr. i4.err had ',Boy majoritr over Uiptain
T. P. BynJer, who is now posing as a "Union
Labor candidate fo. Governor, with a view
to draw off labor votes from Pattison and
thus helping Delamater. Kribbs will prob
ably be elected, though by a much reduced
majority.
It is reasonable to supposed tbat the Dem
ocrats will hold all the districts they now
Iraveand that they will carry some of those
which are in doubt If they gain two, as
seems altogether likely, Pennsylvania Rep
resentatives in the next Congress will be 19
Repnblicans and 9 Democrats.
KERR IB VEEY CONFIDENT,
Tint Is "ot Giving Oat Any Figures for Pub
lication. Philadelphia, October 2. "We are
beginning to see the work done," said
Chairman Kerr, of the Democratic State
Committee, this evening, "and it tells the
story of a victory already assured. Some
weeks ago Mr. Pattison would have won
with plenty to spare. To-day he is the cen
tre of a pocular sentiment tbat is really be
yond judicious estimate, and if there is
auvtlung doing on the other side to
stem the popular tide it is that sort of
thing intended to make the drop as easy
as possible. The newspapers have handled
this campaign. The voters have understood
the situation from the start, and literature
going out from headquarters can have no
material weight in the result This is very
evident lrom the character of the campaign.
The peoule have come in crowds everywhere
to hear the questions involved discussed by
Democratic leaders, and the most hopeful
sign of all has been their attentive appecia
tion. Forces have been atwork never known
before in a Pennsylvania campaign."
"What are your figures on the result?''
"Perhaps it is better not to give an esti
mate at this time," said Mr. Kerr. "I pre
fer to ollow the line taken up throughout
the past three months and allow the public
to be their own best judges in that matter.
We have no figures for publication just
now."
Next Monday Mr. Kerr will issue a stir
ring address to the Democratic voters of the
State, and on the same day 40,000 school
district committeemen will cover everv
school district in the State, whose special
duty it will be to bring out the vote. They
have received letters of instruction, and Mr.
Kerr says he will scan the election returns
of every precinct to see how well they will
do their work.

Philadelphia, .October 24. Senator
Delamater transacted some private business
prior to taking the 1 o'clock train with his
party for Manaynnk, where he wai received
by a committee, of which Councilman
Adams was chairman, and was immediately
escorted to the extensive paper mills
of "W. Nixon. He shook hands with the
large force of employes and watched the proc
cess of making paper. Alter that be was
taken to Pencoyd, where he met with a most
enthusiastic reception. Cannons were fired
and whistles were blown to welcome the Re
publican candidate.
A trip was made through the Pencoyd
Iron "Works, where an informal meeting
was hastily arranged. Senator Delamater
made a speech, and was cheered profusely.
The party next visited the large shoddy and
blanket works of Sevill Schofield, Son
& Co., when another course of
handshaking was indulged in, after
which the party which included Congress
man Reyburu took dinner with Common
Councilman James Adams. In the even
ing Senator Delamater attended a large
meeting at Temperance Hall. All
along the streets roman caudles and
rockets were fired and the honses were
illuminated. At 7:30 there were a large
number of people on the sidewalk who were
unable to gain admission to the hall. Sen
ator Delamater made another speech and
was cheered vociferously.
The party then drove to the Falls of
Schuylcill, where a meeting was held, at
which City Treasurer John Bardsley pre
sided. Senator Delamater made another
speech here and met with another warm re
ception. He next drove to Patterson Hall.
All along the route was a continual blaze of
fireworks, and as Senator Delamater walked
into the crowded hall he was met with an
ovation. Then he was driven to the Acad
emy of Music, where one of the largest
meetings in the present campaign was 'in
progress. The house was literally packed
with an enthusiastic crowd. General
H. S. Huidekoper was chairman, and
many of the most prominent Republicans
iu the city were present. The principal
speeches were made by Senator Joseph R.
Hawley, of Connecticut, Philip C. Garrett
and Senator Delamater.

We haven't advocated and don't advocate
free trade, but insist tbat the interests ot a
grea body of people must be consulted iu
framing just and reasonable tariff measures.
Va make no war upon manufacturing inter
ests on the one hand nor do we unwisely or of
fensively champion the cause of their employes
on the other. Our opponents assert we antag
onize the true interests of manufactures in our
amie-.y to relieve the burdens of laboring
people. I deny the statement. Our opponents
assert tbat the policy which we advocate tends
to lone. the wazes of laboring men, because
they must compete with the underpaid worK-
men oi iurop:. j. no proposition is distinctly
refuted bv the principles set forth in the Dem
ocratic national platform. We believe in rec
ognizing the demands ot labor, and propose to
shield our workmen from such competition as
can justly be considered as unfair. For in
stance. If it costs 12 for labor to prdduc cer
tain manufactured articles in foreign countries
while it co.ts 4 for labor to produce the same
articles in this country, then we favor a tariff
of $2 upon that article in order to equalize the
difference in wage?.

HARRISON'S CHANCES
Weighed by a Democratic Politician
From- the Hoosier State.
PRACTICALLY SOLID DELEGATION
For the President From Indiana In 1892
Unless a Break Occurs.
THE SPOILS CAUSING SOME TROUBLE
imOM A STJLTF CORRESPONDENT. I
New York, October 24. "Ben Harri
json is more unpopular in Indiana to-day,"
said a prominent Hoosier at one of the up
town hotels the other night, "than at any
time in his political career. I do not wholly
understand this except that it be through
the usual row about the spoils. I have
heard a great many leading Bepublicans in
Indiana inveigh quite bitterly agiinst Mr.
Harrison on account of the manner in which
the distribution of official patronage has
been made. There does not seem to be any
particular disturbance over any particular,
man; it is a kind of an undercurrent oi gen
eral popular sentiment in his party. Per
haps this might pass away should Harrison
be renominated; but I doubt very much
whether it will be obliteratad to an extent
that will give him a solid support iu the
next convention."
"One of the great factors in the Harrison
possibilities for a renomination, so far as
Indiana is concerned, is in the want of
proper leadership in the Democratic party
of the Slate. The Democratic party in
Indiana feels the need now of some such'
man as was Mr. Hendricks. There never
was such
A POLITICAL LEADER
in our State as was be, and I doubt very
much whether we will again be led by such
a man. Not but that there are Democrats
ot considerable ability in Indiana and well
qualified for the leadership of the party in
theState, but there is no particular great
national leader, who stands bead and
shoulders above all the rest and to whom
the people of the State can look for an
authoritative utterance upon all national as
well as local issues. The Bepublicans are
pretty well organized, but they have this
question of Presidental patronage to divide
them when It comes to the renomination of
Mr. Harrison."
"Do the Bepublicans of Indiana gener
ally anticipate the renomination of Presi
dent Harrison?"
"Yes, I think they do. I am a Democrat
myselt, as you know, but I desire to be lair
in this statement to my political opponents.
No truer statement was ever made than tbat
made by the late President Cleveland, when
he said that the Executive patronage was
rather an embarrassment to a party desir
ing to adhere to certain well definedprinci
ples. Mr. Cleveland, meant to apply that
to the Democratic party with relerence to
the tariff. It is the same way now with the
Bepublicans. In my opinion the party
will be less strong with the President's pat
ronage behind it than it was with that pat
ronage in prospective. I speak only for my
State. To a great extent the ranb'and file
of a political party lolfow their local lead
ers, and these local leaders are more or less
affected bv the distribution of the spoils.
In this disaffection they are inclined to
overlook the great principles which form
the basis oi the jiarty s existence.
THE TARIFF AN ISSUE.
"Does the tariff cut any figure in the
present campaign iu Indiana?"
"Decidedly. There is more talk about
the tariff now in our State than upon any
other distinct snhject The newspapers of
both parties are divided in a measure upon
the merits of the McKinley bill. The Re
publican papers that are opposed to a high
tariff are still hauling the' majority over the
coals for its action with regard to the tariff.
The new law has not got to working smoothly
enough to allay the irritation which neces
sarily follows a change of duties. I was ud
in Nebraska a short time ago and there the
farmers declare that they must buy potatoes
for seed. The potato crop is a com
plete failure. Over iu Montreal,
Canada, I saw that hundreds of car
loads of potatoes were being
shipped to the United States, subject to the
new duty. I' goes a little hard for farmers
to pay these additional duties after the fail
ure of their own crops. One man in Mon
treal told me that he had 100 carloads of
potatoes ready lor shipment to fill orders in
the United States. He s.iid when I asked
him the effect of the, new tariff law with re
gard to this farm product, that in case of a
fair crop of potatoes iu the United States the
American farmers could uuderseli the Cana
dians, and in case of the failure of a crop in
the United States,, the new duties would
make tneir condition that much harder. In
other words, it cuts both ways.
AN ALLEGED TTTEKANCE.
"In Indiana considerable use is being
made of the declaration of Mr. Harrison
just prior to the last convention I think it
was in his uaiutaetiuo speech or bis Dan
ville speech hr said that a cheap coat
usually covered a cheap man; or words to
that effect Alongside oi this, Mr. McKin
ley's recent utterauces at Kalamazoo to the
efiect tbat he did not' want cheap clothing
that cheap means nasty and dirty and that
the people of thi oountry did not want
cheap clothes is also quoted in connection
with Mr. Harrison's utterances on the same
subject. On top of this they group J.G mld's
declaration tbat the high price of clothing
under the new law will work no hardship to
the people, because instead of wearing two
suits, all a man bad to do to avoid the hard
ship of the law was to wear one suit. You
are familiar enough with the character of
the average Indianian to understand how
tffectively these things can be used in a cam
paign. "Mr. Harrison never was very close to the
people of bis own State, and he certainly
edged no nearer since he was elected Presi
dent But be is a man of considerable
ability and great respectability, and a
cloak ot royalty goes a great ways even
among a democratic people. I would not
be Surprised if be should secure a
PRACTICALLY SOLID DELEGATION
from Indiana in the next nominating con
vention. At the same time I do not think
that he stands much chance of a renomina.
tinn. The pride of State will probably
carry him through so far as Indiana is con
cerned, unless he is prematurely killed off
by such drivelling political idiots as Treas
urer Huston. Of all the fool utterances of
men in public life there was never anything
equal in my opinion to the ntteraures of
Huston. The whole State of Indiana is
laughing at him or cursing him.
"It I were President Harrison and had
such a man in my administration, I would
not wait for his resignation, hut would
bounce him out as a man unfit to hold
public office. This on general principles,
without any regard to personal relations ot
the two. A man that has no more sense
than Huston has no right to hold public
office." Mderay.

.-SPECIAL TELKOKAII TO THE DISPATCH..
Hamilton, O., October 24. The wreck
on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and In
dianapolis occurred near Oxford on a siding
known as Lockport The south-bound
train had been side-tracked to allow the up
train to pass. A brakeman carelessly
neglected to lock the switch and it sprang
open.
The up train was running at breakneck
speed, and dashed into the siding with
terrific force. The curs piled up on
top of each other in an indescrib
able heap. Two coal oil cars
caught fire and soon 25 crs were
blazing furiously. Every one was loaded
with costly merchandise and were com
pletely destroyed, with their contents in
volving a loss variously estimated at 575,000
to $125,000.
Iu the shock of the collision Engineer
Myers was instantly killed, and his brake
man, James Cassidy, so badly burned
that he will die before morning.
An unknown man was caught in
the jam and burned to death. Brakeman
Powell will die before morning. Four other
men are injured.
The railroad officials here say the loss will
not exceed S50.000 and that no one was killed,
but five were wounded, two seriously.

HOT MUCH HOPE FOR HEW YORK.
Porter Says He Slay Examine the Census of

1RPECIAL TELEOKAH TO THE DI8FATCQV.
New York, October 24. Robert P.
Porter, the Superintendent of the Census
Bureau, arrived on the North German
Lloyd steamship Lahn this after
noon. There was an army of reporters
present who were anxious to find out what
he was going to do ior New York in her
efforts to obtain a proper count Mr. Porter
kissed his wife and waved the reporters off,
telling them he would see them at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel at 8 o'clock. Precisely at
that hour the newspaper men began to
subject him to a fire of questions. Mr.
Porter said he was entirely ignorant of
the situation, and after he had been enlight
ened he said he perfectly agreed with Acting
Superintendent Childs iu the stand he had
taken in his letter to Mayor Grant. He
could not tell just what bis action would be
until he had consulted with the Secretary of
the Interior concerning New York's case.
It was very evident from Superintendent
Porter's words that New York has little
reason to expect a recount. Mr. Porter said
tbat the police schedules must be sent to
Washington be ore anything can be done.
He will not, he said, accept the mere state
ment that the recount has added 200,000
to bis figures. It the police books
are sent to Washington the names will
be compared with the Federal lists and a list
made ot those names iu each ward not found
in the Federal books. Agents will then be
sent to this city to verify these names, but
Mr. Porter appears to be confident that
manv of them will be found to have been
obtained at offices and duplicated.

GOTHAM SUFFERS FK03I WIND AND RAIN
rSl'ECIAtTEI.EORAH TO THE 1TMA.TCH.
Atlantic City, October 24. A severe
wind storm has prevailed along this coast
since daybreak yesterday, accompanied by
considerable rain. The wind wai then from
the northeast, and increased in velocity
during the day to 42 miles an hour. It
forced the waters of the thoroughfare over
the embanEment, inundating the meadows
for acres around and causing considerable
delay to railroad travel.
The storm raged in varying moods all
through the night, but at 8 o'clock this
morning had spent its fury to such an extent
that the wind was only blowing six miles an
hour. Shortly after this a gale set in from
the north blowing S8 miles an hour.
Along the ocean front the breakers rolled
in with considerable force, carrying away
posts and other property. A natural bar
about 300 yards from the beach has formed
from the iron pier down to Chelsea, and
prevents the possibility of any serious dam
age to beach front property, which suffered
so disastrously during the storm of Septem
ber, 1889.
DAMAGE ON THE MEADOWS.
Some damage was done on the meadows.
A new house on Indiana avenue, belonging
to Clark Johnson, was undermined by the
water and toppled partly over. An ice
schooner at the Knickerbocker wharf
dragged her anchor and was stranded on the
meadows. The people living in many ot
the houses between the thoroughfare and
Baltic avenue were so hemmed in by the
rising tide for a time that egress, except by
rowboats, was decidedly unsafe. Up at the
inlet the waves dashed over the bulkhead in
great volume.
The hotel in connection with Bowker's
steamboat landing had its foundation badly
weakened by the high tide, and has taken a
decided lurch to the lower side. Peters'
beach is completely submerged, and Charles
Smith and his wiie are again imprisoned by
the waves in their isolated hostelry. Viewed
from the inlet, Brigantine beach appears to
be considerably inundated, and fears are
entertained that the miles of costly trestle
work, recently built across Grassy Bay and
the thoroughfare by the Brigantine Beach
Railroad Company have been seriously
damaged.
The wind is still blowing up to a veloci'y
of over 40 miles an hour.
unfortunate cape mat point.
A dispatch from Cape May says: Cape
May City came out of yesterday's storm
without any damage to sea wall or beach
drive. Cape May Point was less fortunate.
From the foot ot Cape avenue around to
the Wanamaker cottage an average of five
feet of the bluff was broken down by the
heavy sea carrying with it all the fencing.
There were breaks made near the Presi
dent's cottige, but the damage was small.
The tide poured over Poverty beach, flood
ing the meadows to the depth of several ieet
and at one time threatened the old govern
ment life station.
A special telegram from New York says:
The two storms that joined forces off tbe
coast of Virginia on Thursday and came
whooping up the coast, reaching here shortly
after the partnership was formed, did their
best to wash out New York to-day. They
brought with them a northeast gale tbat
drove the water up into the bay and river
and flooded the downtown district Through
West street tbe water was ankle deep and
everything movable floated. -Basement
stores were flooded and the shopkeepers were
unhappy. Around on the other side ot tbe
city the water backed up in the sewers and
flooded the cellars in Front and Water and
Sontb streets.
BIG WINDS IN GOTHAM.
The wind blew at the rate ot S6 miles an
hour, and put on an extra spurt coming
around corners. Whenever there was a
corner with a big building on it there was a
turning place lor umbrellas. Unless the
holder was an expert the breeze would get
around behind the shield, and inside out it
would go in a jiffv. Then -the rain would
drive down his bark between his neck and
his colljr, as if what lighted on the outside
of his clothes could not drench him thor
oughly enough.
Folks on land did not get the brunt of
the storm by any means. Off shore, even
as 'ar iu port as Quarantine, the wind blew
a gale and the sea ran high enough to sweep
over the decks of the smaller vessels. Some
of the big ones got an occasional drenching.
Captain Condon cruised around with the
revenue cutter, Mahattan, with officers to
board the incoming boats. He got as
far as Quarantine and came back. He
said the waves washed over tbe pilot house
of tbe cutter occasionally, and that once,
wheu he lowered one of the windows, he
thought the wind would take oil the whole
top of tbe house. On the way back be saw
a lumber laden schooner driven into the
Buttermilk channel, where she might have
been wrecked. He chased in after her and
brought her out in safety.
THE ST0BM ON THE COAST.
Some Small Craft Uadly Used Up and More
Wrecks Expected.
Boston, October 24. The old-fashioned
northeast storm has prevailed in this section
since last night. It was most violent along
the water tront At Bevere Beach the wind
and high tide played sad havoc. The
Wobnrn House, built on the point at the
north end of Crescent Beach, was lifted
from its foundation and settled deep in the
sand. A photograph building was wrecked
by the waves.
This lorenoon a small sloop -yacht was
lifted bodily by the wind and waves and de
posited on the bed of the Boston, Bevere
Beach and Lynn Bailroad. The bowsprit
projected across the tracks, and was struck
by a train lrom Boston. The boat was
thrown over in such a position that the pro
jecting mast was struck by another train so
forcibly as to throw the boat back into the
water, "where it sank. It is feared if tbe
gale does not soon subside a number of
wrecks will occur before morning. The
coast is closely patrolled to-night by men
from the lie-saving stations, but the tre
mendous seas would render their efforts at
rescue almost unavailing should their
services be needed.

Dissolute Printers Paid Sums of Money to be
Insured, Then Trained Into Physical Con
dition to Pass Examination Full Expose
of the Scheme.
New York, October. 24. The Clironicle,
an insurance journal of this city, iu its
issue of the 23d inst, contained an interest
ing account of a conspiracy to defraud life
insurance companies, from which the fol
lowing particulars are taken:
Some time before the close of 1889, the
Chronicle received information to the effect
that a certain person in the city of New
York was engaged in insuring the lives ot
dissolute printers. This person had re
tained in his interest one or more composi
tors having a large personal acquaintance
among the cra't, who were willing, for a
consideration, to secure "subjects for in
surance." Among these "procurers" was
a man named Caldwell. The plan of the
conspirators was a very simple one, viz., to
bribe dissolute printers to insure their lives
and afterward assign the policies to a per
son who goes by the name of Jones. The
subjects of insurance pending the issuance
of tbe policies, were taken care of, lib
erally fed and provided with all things nec
essary to their body comfort In some
cases the insurances were effected through
suburban agents; in other cases through
New York City" agents.
At the earliest possible moment the
Chronicle began a systematic investigation
of tbe fraud. A ter obtaininiug the names
of several printers who had bargained with
the conspirators, one of them, named Began,
was located, and lrom biro was obtained a
lull written statement of his own experience.
In an affidavit Began says tbat he was in
sured by Jones in October, 1889. Being
out of work and hard pressed for money, he
he told Caldwell, who was very near to
Jones, that he was willing to 'become in
sured. Caldwell introduced him to Jones.
Jones said he could not insure him then, as
he had a case on hand, but would take him
later. Began kept sundry appointments
with Jones before Jones was ready for him,
receiving money in small amounts every
time. About the middle of October he
again met Jones, who bought him a com
plete outfit of clothes. Caldwell was pres
ent and took Began to a Turkish and elec
tric bathing establishment. Jones left when
they went to take the Turkish bath.
Caldwell and Began then proceeded to a
suburban town in,-New Jersey, where they
put up at a good boarding house. Jones
visited them abont twice a week, and lelt
money each timp. During his first week's
stay there Began was given only enough
liquor to strengthen his nerves, and while
taking it bracing medicine was added. Aft
erward he took beef tea and no liquor until
lie passed the first examination, which he
did with ease, and his life was insured in a
big New York insurance company for
3,000.
It was thn suggested that he should enter
another company for more money to him, to
which he did not object He was in good
condition at tbat time, and, he says, did not
need much training. The second examina
tion was also successful, and he was insured
lor $2,500. When the policv was delivered
Jones was present He took Began before
a notary public, and the policv was trans
ferred to Jones, who paid him S42 60, mak
ing in all abont 575 in cash which Began
received.
GAINESVILLE IN A PEVEB.
Hundreds Wild to Dig Gold In the Arbuckle
3Ionn tains.
rsrxcui. TEXXORXK TO thx sisrxTCB.:
Gainesville. October 24. Several gen
tlemen residing in this city returned to-day
from the newly discovered gold fields in
Arbuckle Mountains, 50 miles north of
here. They are highly elated over the
result of their investigation. They
report great quantities of gold bearing
quartz lying promiscuously on the surface,
samples of which have assayed at the rate
ol $200 per ton. Several places bedsjofex-j
ceedlnc richness have been discovered in I
the basin ot Wilson creekand several ounces
of gold dnst were washed out and gathered
up in a few hours.
Everybody in Gainesville has come to the
conclusion that the gold fields of the Ar
buckle Mountains are no myth, but a
reality, and that they are the richest mines
ever discoyered in many years there seems
no doubt Hundreds of people will leave
here next week for the new EI Dorado for the
purpose of securing claims and to begin

THAT BIG PIPE-OKGAN.
Hamilton Has Set It Up In His Store
IZoomsf. The Exposition of 1890 is a thing of the
past, but the magnificent pipe-organ that
Hamilton had on exhibition there, and
which attracted the attention of so many
thousands of visitor), has been re-erected in
his storerooms at 91 and 93 Fifth avenue,
where everybody is invited to come and see
it and hear it played. AH who contemplate
purchasing anything in that line, particu
larly for churches, schools, etc., are also in
vited to call and obtain prices. This organ,
and others like it, can be bought at prices
as low as reed organs, with far more high
sounding names, but without its volume,
power or purity of sound. Those who de
sire it will be afforded every facility for
fully satisfying themselves that this claim
is not a mere advertising boast, but is the
truth.
And this is as much the case with all
other instruments sold by Hamilton as with
this one. His pianos and organs are uni
versally known as the inferiors of none in
the market, while their prjees are as well
known to be lower than those of other good
instruments. As has been repeatedly said,
it is because Hamilton's prices are known
to be so reasonable that he enjoys such an
excellent trade as he does. Those who do
not know it by actually purchasing from
him are cordially invited to call and be
convinced of tbe truth of this statement at
S. Hamilton's, 91 and 93 Fifth avenue,

A Story Told of the Visit of tbe Foreign
Iron lien.
HAITI BECEIYED DOUGLASS WaBMIiI
rSFZCIAI. TZX.XGRAH TO THE DISrATCH.1
Washington, October 24. A story is
told to-day and vouched ior as true which
illustrates once more the economy of tbe
present administration in general and Presi
dent Harrison in particular in a peculiarly
striking way. The visiting iron and steel
men from Great Britain axe expected to pay
this city a visit to-morrow, and preparations
have been made to give them a fitting recep
tion. A local committee is in charge of the mat
ter, and npou tne programme for the visit
ors' entertainment a reception of the distin
guished foreigners by the President is a not
unimportant feature. Of course, it was
necessary first to obtain Mr. Harrison's con
sent to this part of the programme and ac
cordingly the committee called on him at
the White House. After they had stated
the object of their visit the President agreed
to giving the Britons' representatives a re
ception. "I suppose," said he to the committee,
"you will not want a card reception."
Somewhat taken aback by the question,
one ot the committee replied that it had
been thontrht that, considering the social
and business standing of the iron and steel
men, a card reception would be about tha
correct thing to offer them. At this the
President hummed and hawed a little, and
then said: "Well, if you want a card recep
tion, you will, of course, provide the -cards
of invitation at your own expense."
'""Whatauswerthe committee gave to this is
not stated, hut it is a fact that they have ac
cepted the President's suggestion, and have
prepared at their own expense an engraved
invitation to the reception at the Whita
House, which tbe President was too thrifty
to provide himself.
HE SAYS IT IS A MISTAKE.
The Haytian Minister Denies That He Is Un
acceptable to Ilia Conntry.
rr.oii a staff coitnEsroifPEjrr.l
Washington, October 24. Several
newspapers ol this morning's date published
a story that Minister Frederick Douglass is
not acceptable to the Haytian Government,
and that his long stay at home indicates
that he may not return. In regard.to these
reports Mr. Douglass said to-day:
"These papers are altogether mistaken in
the supposition that I am not acceptable as
Minister resident and Consul General to tha
people and Government of Hayti. The
President of tbat Bepublic in his late mes
sage to the Corps Legislatif went out of his
way to assure myself and the Government of
the United States tbat Hayti felt itself
highly honored by having sent to them a
man of the character ana history of my
humble self. It is utterly absnril and ridic
ulous to suppose that a people of Haytian
color and ' Haytian antecedents should ob
ject to receiving one of my color to represent
the United States at its court As to my
overstaying my time, I do not need tha
newspapers to make me acquainted with
the fact I should have sailed to Hayti on
board of tbe Prince Frederick at the expira
tion of my 60 days here bad I not been de
tained here by the proper authorities in
Washington. I will leave my post as soon
as tbe State Department signifies a desire to
see me go."
