TRIAL OF REV. A10TT. TAMMANY AND ITS TERRORS A I'ew Suggestions Regarding the Organization Given at Brooklyn. Senator Thornton's Great Speech. New York, Oct. 11. General Benjamin F. Tracy, former secretary of the navy und candidate for the office of major of Greater New York, was tho leading ora tor at the first Republican mass meeting held in Brooklyn ut the Academy ot Music tonight. There was a large at tendance. Mr. Tracy referred to Tam many Hall and Bryanlsm as tho chief .op posing forces of tho Republicans in this compalgn. lie ieferred to Henry Georgo as another candidate upon the platform of Bryanlsm. There was still another party which had made Its appearance as a separate and independent party for tho first time in its history tho party known as the Citizens' union. "The meaning of the success of the Citizens' union here Is the destruction of tho Republican party. If Mr. Low Is elected, of course, all the influence of that great otflco will be utod to Insist upon a citizen's movement at ecry munl clpd election. Tho Republican party will bo called upon to disband, to disinte grate, to dissolve ourselves Into our in dividual capacities and to act as indi viduals. We will not be permitted to act as an organization. What will bo the result? You once establish the principle that oiganizatlons arc not to act, but that tho election is to be carried by cliques, associations of a few citizens there, and jou will li.no not one citi zens' association, but you will have a doen nnd there will bo tiadlng and dickering luck and forth and the man who agrees ro put his band deepest Into the city treasury will get the votes." Senator John M. Thuiston, of Nebras ka, was the next speaker. He &ald, in part: "Following every Republican presiden tial success there comes great danger to the Republican party, und It comes first and last, powerful always. In every sec tion of tho land irom citizens' commit tees who proposo to revolutionize things nnd set up thilr individual Judgment against the will of tho party Itsclt. "What has tho history ot municipal contiol lu New Yoik city and in Brook lyn had to do with Republican buccess in tho Pnltcd States? It has had cvory thlng to do. It has made Ri publican suc cesses since 1S72, always doubtful, and only to bo won by tho most heroic ef forts, by the greatest activity and by tho unity of all the foices of good gov ernment In the country. "Tho fact that Tamiranj: Democracy contiollcd New York cltj, had the election machinery and the power and utod It to tho disadvantage of the Republican paity left the election of lS7ti in serious doubt and throw a cloud upon the title of Presi dent Hayes; In 1SS0 It almost defeated tho Republican partv ; in 1SSI It robbed tho American people ot their will and stolo the presidency of tho United htates from tho greatest statesman that this country has ever produced the gicat American, James G. Blaine. "Therowlll bo no rroio Republican pres idents of tho United States In jour lite or mine, majbe, unless jou elect Bcnjtmln F. Tracy. This Is no local issue It may and It will aifect tho political control ot this countrj for years to come. It will mako tho work of tho Republican paity harder In every campaign. It may oncp more retire to tho outcomo of uncertainty and doubt tho great business, industilal and commercial interests cf this rountty. "Last j ear there was a laid against the Republican party from tho discordant and disaffected portions of Ameilcan so ciety. There was a man at tho head who was not an anarchist, jet ho re ceived tho vote of overy anaichlst In tho country; ho was not a communist, and jet ho was supported by every communist In tho lind; ho was a law abiding citizen, a Christian gentleman and jet theie ral lied around him tho entire forces of law lessness tho country over; ho was a man us a citizen of good repute, and jet time were mound him those solidly urging his election to tho party who Insisted to tho right of men to discredit their contracts, to vlolato their obligations, to repudiate their debts and to bring national dis credit und dishonor upon tho American people "Thoso gloat forces, so great and pow erful that tho result hung tremblingly In the balance, have not been dissipated jet. They aro stalking foith heie und In Greater Now York cltj under another name nnd another leader, but they aro here Just the same, tho perpetual ene mies of good government, whom you and I, as Republicans in the nation must over come) if wo leavo tho land for tho benefit of the children coming after us." Ho closed with an eulogy of General Tracy. TRAQEDY AT CHURCH. A Woman Is Killed by a Holt oi Lightning. Winston, N. C. Oct. 11. A most dls. trcsslng tragedy occurred at Union Ridge church, situated about two miles south of here, last night. About 7 o'clock, T. P.

The rescue of Senorlta Evangelina Clsneros from a ptlson In Cuba by the agents of a New York newspaper Is regaided In diplomatic circles here ns the most dangerous piece of business that has occured during the whole course of the war In Cuba. Secretary of State Sherman Is the onlj man of promin ence In tho Stato Department who legards tho release of the Spanish woman with complaisance. Mr. Sher man this morning declared that he was glnd, as a man, that the young woman had been taken from the pris on, and he felt, as the head of the State Department, that no harm would come of It. Ho was asked what this Government would bo likely to do If Spain made a demand for the surren der of the American citizens who were concerned in the release of the young woman, and he answered that theio was no danger of Spain's making any such demand. Mr. Sherman appeared not pnlj to be glad at tho rescue of the young woman, even though it was accomplished through an agency that sought only self-ndvertisement, and may possibly lead this country in to serious diplomatic controversary with Spain, but he appeared to exult in the outwitting of the Spanish auth orities. "The young woman had com mitted no overt act," said Mr. Sher man, "and the whole thing will blow over. I am glad that she has. been released." Other officials of the State Depart ment, who manifestly would not ap pear In tho public prints as disagreeing with the head of the department, piiv ately expressed opinions widely dllfer ent from those uttered by Mr. Sher man. While they will rejoice with nil men If a leally innocent young woman has been leleased from a elangeious position thej deplore the fact that the United States has been diagged into the affair at a time when the relations between this country and Spain are alreadj- strained. They regret especi ally that Mr. Sheiinan has permitted his namo to bo used as commending the newspaper for bieaklng into the prison of a foreign country and rescu ing one of Its piisoners. The Secre taiy was asked if he fully authorized the use of his name In this connection: "Well," said ho, "I did not suppose that It would be used so prominently. I do not remember that I used Just the woids pi edited to me, but I said some thing along that line." DISCUSSED AT WASHINGTON. AVashlngton, Oct. 11. Stato dcpait ment officials ate discussing the piob abllltles ol lnteinitional tioublo fol lowing the escape of Miss Clsneros. They say that ptesuming that the girl and her rescuer have reached th? Uni ted States they cannot be surrendered even if claimed by the Spanish au thorities. Th. case Is coveied by two pilnciples of law that aie never devi ated fiom As far as concpins Miss Clsneios, i-he beluga political refugee, cannot under our organic law be sur rendered, and there Is no clause In the Spanish extiadttton treaty that would serve as a basis for a claim for her surrender. It has been the general policy of the United States to refuse to deliver up Its own citizens to a for eign state, even when they were accus ed of crime in such state. At the last session of congiess President Cleve land sent to the senate the draft of two tieatles he had negotiated nnd submitted for Its appiovul. They were the ccttadltlnn treaties with the Ar gentine eonfedeiation and with the Orange Free state. In each case an article was Inserted permitting the sur lender of the citizen of a state to another state upon charge of crime, but the senate very pioniptly cut out the two articles, the debates veiy strongly asserting the decision of the legislatuie to countenanco no such principle. HER RECEPTION IN NEW YORK. New Yoik, Oct. 11. The Herald to morrow will say: Senotlta Evangeline Coslo y Clsner os, the Cuban girl who escaped from Casa de Recogldas, in Havana, on AVcdnesday night last, arrived In this city yesterday mninlug. American friends accompanied her by tiain from New Oi leans. On reaching Jersey City MlbS Clsneros was taken in n closed carriage to the headquarters of the Cu ban sympathizers In this city, where she was Joyfully received. After a short receDtlon she was taken away and no one was allowed to fee her un til this evening. A special edition of tho local Cuban newspaper was published this after noon, asking all loyal Cubans to as semble nt the office of the Junta at 8 o'clock to Join In a torchlight parade In honor of the young woman's deliv ery. All the employes of tho New York Journal, und particularly the people having charge of the Senorlta Clsneros matter, emphatically denied tonight that the young woman waa In the city and a tour of all the rooms In tho Journal office proved the falsity of tho rumor that she was secreted there. Strange Story ol Assault Related by Mrs. Lnrlson. riomlngton, N. J., Oct. 11. Tho trial or Rov.

The October term of the supreme court of Pennsylvania in und for the First district of Penn sylvania opened at 10 a. m. In tho supreme court room in the county court house. There was a large attendance from all over the state and the an nouncing of decisions received rapt at tention. There were 52 decisions and orders handed down, two of which, for for the first time In the history of the the first time In the history of tho superior court. One of the decisions was written by Justice Deane and the other by Justice Fell. In the case of Kate McNully against the Pennsylvania railroad, an Import ant point in law was disposed of. It was contained In tho refusal of th'e cnuit to charge the Jury as requestsd by the counsel for the defense. The "husband of the plalntift wns a laborer lu the erection of a railroid bridge at Tacony, near Philadelphia. He was to lecelvc $1.20 a day and transportation. There was a collision through the neg ligence of the engineer nnd McNulty was killed. The point set up was: "That McNulty wus carried by defend ant In the performance of a contract ot employment and service and was In law not a passenger, but an employe, and as he was injured by a collision due to the negllgsnce of the engineer the verdict must be for the defendant. " The supremo court by sustaining the lower court denies this point. In sustaining the decision of tho common pleas court of Lycoming county In the case of Jacob Fasher against tho receivers of the Philadel phia and Reading railroad, Chief Jus tice Sterrett said: "We aro far from being convinced that their is any error in the ruling complained of. The question propoundeel to the witness was irrelevant and the evidence sought to be eliclteel thereby was rightly re jected as incompetent and Immateri al. There Is lieithing in the question that requires discussion. A careful consideration of the testimony sent up With the record has satisfied us that tho case Is not one that should have been submitted to tho jury. While the accident which unfoitunately befell the plaintiff Is gieatly to be regretted, wo find nothing in the evidence that .rtSpted the Jury in finding it was due te any negligence of the defendants or their employes."
