ex-Mayor Grace Thinks Not The
Ticket Forecast.
New York, Sept 20.
THE return of William E. Grace to
this country ia followed by an
announcement, made in positive
terms by the Brooklyn Eagle,
that the factions excluded from the
Democratic state conrentlon will rnn
Bstnte ticket of their own, with Charles
S. FalrcMld heading it, and Will ruu
independent mnnieipal tickets in New
York, Brooklyn, and other cities.
According to the Eagle this ticket is
cot to be nominated by any conven
tion. It is to late for that. Instead,
according to the plan set forth, the
disgruntled leaders will meet the latter
part of the present week probably in
fcSyraousefor the purpose of agreeing
upon a ticket, or, rather, upon the
candidates for lieutenant-governor and
associate judge of the court of appeals,
ns it is more agreeable to all that Mr.
Fu'.rcuild shall head the ticket.
Mr. Grace came up yesterday from
bis eonntry borne at Great Nook and
held conferences which were attended
by Messrs. Faircbild, Carl Sclmrz, Dr.
Joseph H. Senner. Shipping Com
missioner Maurice J. Power, Aqueduct
Commissioner Francis H tisoit and
Messra Shepherd, Patterson and EJ-
'ards from the Kings county sheen-
'old. Just what the decision of the
sonferrees, if any was reached, was
:ould not be learned last night from
those who were present. Mr. Falrchild
-emained at bis home, 76 Clinton place.
p-nd refused to receive the card of, or a
'ssoge from, any newspaper reporter.
Urace was seen at Ureat Neck, L.
last evening, and confirmed the re-
rt of the conferences held. He would
rot say what was the result of yeeter-
day's conference, but hinted that the
question would not be definitely deoided
nntiT Tuesday next
THE TICKET FORECASTED.
Among the strongest opponents of
an independent ticket are Oswald Ot
teudorfer and his friends ot the Gor
man Democracy. Mr. Ottendorfer de
clares that such a course will lead to
the political death of Mr. Fairchild.
and be and his friends say that the
German Democrats cannot be got to
vote against the ticket regularly nom
inated. The independent ticket indicated by
Mr. Shepard's friend, Editor McKtl
way, points to the nomination of ex
Mayor Robinson, of Elmira, Franklin
D. Looke, of Buffalo; ex-Judge Coun
tryman, of Albany; ex-Mayor Fitzger
ald, of Troy, for lientonant governor,
and either John C. Milburn or Herbert
S. Bissell, both of Buftulo, for associate
judge of the court of appeals. As bus
been said, it is too late to nominate
eueh a ticket in conventicn for the
pnrposeof securing the printing of
official balluts; but, as Mr. Shepard
pointed out yesterday, nomination by
petition, signed by 3,000 electors of the
Nate, cua be made at any time before

in a row here lasc nigbt. Smith led off
with a heavy left cut ion Davis' heart,
and Davis floored Smith with a heavy
blow on the jaw. Smith arose quickly,
but before he got straight Davis pushed
him tbrongh tbe ropes against a wall.
Smith was badly stunned.
A regnlar tumult followed and al
most instantly fifty men were in the

tbe pushing of Smith against the wail

Davis responded, but Smith was unable

RUNAWAY ENGINE.
Collides with the New York and
Washington Express on the
Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia. Sept. 30 The New
York and Washington express on the
Pennsylvania railroad, which left
Broad Street station at 12 03 a, m. col
lided with a runaway shifting engine
at Thirtieth street and six persons were
hnrt and nil aboard tbe express badly
shaken up by the shock. None of the
injured persons were seriously hurt
and with one exception were able to go
on to their destination. The injured
are:
J. A. Cock ley, of Baltimore, engineor of
ine express, nruiseu aoout the abdo
men. Darius Harmon, of Baltimore, fireman of
tbe express, cat on tbe neck.
P. J. McDonnell, of Jersey City, postal

Mrs. (J. C. Governator. of Baltimore, face
aud bead cut and bruised.
Unknown Colored Woman, arm badly
bruised.
The shifting engine that caused the
accident was being run for a sliding by
lis engineer when a freight train over
took it and struck tbe tender. The en
gineer and firemun of tbe shifter, be
lieving this engine was about to be
crushed, jumped when the collision
took place. The blow received by the
tender, however, started the shifter
quickly forward, and without a restrain
ing band ou the throttle it ran swiftly
along. .
Before it had gained any arrest sneed
the express swung around a curve and
the smash came. Fortunately the ex
press too was running at a compara
tively slow speed. The shifting engine
was badly smashed and tbe front of
the baggage car was smashed in. After
a short delay the train proceeded.

Conloo, 19 years old, died in St.

Tony Milaro, was arrested im
mediately after the fatal blow
was struck and committed to await tbe

Thursday he resolved to effectually

consequence might be, and for that
purpose he made a long club of a

FLYING JIB
IS
Tbe Famous Gelding Racss a Kile In Less
Than Tw i Minutes. "
ALL EARTHLY RECORDS BROKEN
The Horsemen of Chillecothe Aston
ished at the Wonderful Time Made
by the Celebrated Pacer Robert
O's Record Lowered, Though Not
Officially The Track Undoubtedly
the Fastest in the Country.
Chillicothe. O.. Sept. 80.
THE name of Flying Jib is on tbe
tongue of every horseman here
tonight on account of tbe won
derful mile paced by this cele
brated gelding at the kite traok today.
Flying Jib paced by a running
mate paeed a mile inZthe phenomenal
time of 1.50 J, lowering the record of
2 01 made by Westmout in Cbiengo in
lay-l at this style of racing by 2i sec
onds. The performance does not con
stitute areeord, as this method of pace
making is not recognized as legal, and
has no bearing ou Robert J's valid rec
ord of 2 01J.
AtlOo'oIock the "Jib" was brought
on the track and in tbe presence of
1,000 people was sent a warming np
beat in 2. 15. In a few minutes he
again came on the track driven by
Andy McDowell, and after scoring once
his driver decided for the word '"go."
Up the track the fleet footed animal
went without a skip, while the specta
tors beld their breath in amazement.
In he oame to the home stretch appar
ently going faster every step. When
the time of 1.50 1-2 was snnounoed the
spectators could scarcely believe it and
still more dumbfounded were they
when tbe last half of the mile was an
nounced as being made in 53 1 2 sec
onds. This demonstrates very clearly
that the Chillisothe track is undoubt
edly the fastest in the country, it being
smooth ss a table.
The visiting horsemen hers, and the
oity is full ot them, say if tbe weather
is favorable this week more records
will be smashed at this meeting than
at any meeting beld this year.

Havoo Created by Winds at New Found
land. St. Johns, N. F., Sept. 80. The
great gale which bus been ravaging
the Atlantic coast of the United States
for the past week, reached here last
last nigbt aud raged fiercely today.
No messages from outlying pluces have
been received yet, but it is believed
that considerable damage bas been
done, especially to the fishing fleet on
the Grand banks. Four vessels an
chored off the mouth of the harbor are
In a very dangerous position. Two of
these are the barges Viola and tbe
Belle of Exe from Brazil. The third is
an American schooner, name unknown,
and the fourth is a local schooner ladeu
with. fish. All are unable to eater the
barbor owing to tbe head wind.
No steamer is in port and it is im
possible to tow them in. The local
schooner was abandoned by the crew
this afternoon as they feared she would
founder. There are grave fears for
tbe others tonight. It is believed they
must either slip their anchors or drive
on the rooks when the wind changes.
About thirty lives altogether are in
volved and serious apprehensions are
felt here.

cerning the health ot his favorite

a reply from the doctor. He was not
satisfied with tbe reply, and returning
to bis bed room threw himself Into an
arm chair and wept. He cried "oh
God, what have I done to be so severely
punished."
The ez.ir could not sleep tnrougn
thinking of bis son George. Dnring
tbe first night of bis stay in Georges
residence in Spain, the czar

son's room and watohed bis sleep
ing so for a long time. When return

hooks to be buried with ma in order
that if there is any fishing in the other
world I will be provided with tackle to
enjoy the sport which has afforded me
much delicti t in the present mode of
existence.
The will concludes: In reference to
my own burial I direct that there be
no religious rites or oeremonies, but

Upccial Comsitowleu ce of the Trlbun
Pont-Y-Pridd. S. W.. Sept. 18.
N. MY lust letter I tried to give a
pretty fair idea of what: concertiz
ing is like, and I must say as we
go on, night after night, all the
ouoerts seem to be tbe same, or very
like each other, at least. We go from
Pont-Y-Pridd everyday to the town in
which our ooncirt is to be held in the
evening, and upon arriving at the hall
we prepare lor wors, ana go through
the programme. Of conrse the audi-
onoes differ somewhat from each other
and the eoucort balls are also rather
different in diffordnt places. But there
is one thing to be said in favor of the
balls, and that is tbey are invariably
well built, all of good size, some of
them, indeed, being very large, and in
acoustics, perfect It is very seldom
that we perform iu a ball the acoustic
properties of which are bad. .
Our audiences, as I said before, are
appreciative and sometimes are roused
to tremendous enthusiasm over a bit of
good work. I had heard, before com
ing over, that tbo Welsh wera rather
jealous ot other mnsioiaus, that is, of
musicians of other nationalities, but I
have found that I was very much mis
informed, for I never met such genial,
generous, large-hearted people as I
have over here. They admire our work.
and say so too, and not only talk well
about us, but in their actions as well
they show tbeir generosity and hos
pitslity. They have litorally opened
their hearts and homes to us, and we
can all truly say that we have been
beautifully entertntueJ.
INTRODUCED TO CARADOCk
Sunday night we sang the service,
besides two anthems, in St, Catherine's,
tbe English church here aud tbe people
were very cordial iu their thanks to us
after tbe service, and es we really did
sing very wtll, .1 suLpose they enjoyed
it quite as mnch as tbey said they did.
They have a very tine organist there
quite a youug man, and, like a great
many more progrsive vv eishmen and
Englishmen, he fans the American
fever. He played his organ reinurk
ably well, too.
After the service closed, as we were
going out of church, we were all pre
sented to that famous Welshman,
Caradog, who with bis family was
present. He is u wonderful old man
remarkably intelligent, aud as enter
taining as can be. lie is very much in
terested in the success of our company,
and is giving ns the full benefit of his
great influence throughout South
Wales.
Tuesday evening we sang an engage
ment iu Mountain Ash to a very fine
house. We booked a return date be
fore we were out of tbe bouse at the
end ot tbe concert. We sing tonight

sures us a full house again. After tie
conoert last night we held quite a little

when we are all together, with our

Caradog, who often give us the pleasure
ot their society, you may be snre we
form a -very pleasant party. What
wonderful story-tellers theee old
Welshmen are! Why, they cun sit
down and talk una talk and talk, for a
bait a day at a time, without exagger
