He Will be the Republican Candidate . for Governor of Virginia. Special Dispatch to Tae EVENING “Tan. Nonvorx, Va., Aug. 21.—The republican state convention, which meets here tomorrow, follows closely on the heels of its democratic contemporary, which met s week ago in the city of Richmond, Va. Candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general are to be nominated, and in November next « full legislative, as well as executive ticket will bé voted for. Tux Sran’s representative this morning was quickly surrounded by « throng of eager inquirers demanding to know the news from Gen. Mahone, who had not yet reached his headquarters in this city. “Will Mahone accept?” they asked. ‘Can he afford to run?” “Cen he sfford not to run?” “Did Mahone ever run? He is no coward.” “There is no substitute for him in this con- test.” “There can be no cam of Virgi sponge and give the democrats a walkover.” and similar expressions were fired at the Stan representative who at once betook himself to the task of solving the knotty problem, a problem to which no ordin: mans seems ready as yet to give the unqualified sanction of his name. But Tux Stak knows that Gen. Mahone will be nominated by, morrow; that he will hazardous honor involved; that the fight will id, jue and a memorab! that the race will be fast and the way to victory over an exceedingly hot, dubious and dusty road. Having said this much it is hardly necessary to say more of the probable proceedings of to- morrow’s convention. The interest centers in Mahone and it mat- ters little who on the ticket forthe minor offices, ““Bulldozed”™ is probably too harsh a word, but it is nevertheless true that circum- stances have conspired in making the result of tomorrow's convention to be eithers foot race ore fight for Gen. Mahone. He has not wanted this thing but it has come and he must now take it with its enviroment of doubt, danger and responsibility. There is just one other question of moment which is not yet settled to the satisfaction of the Mahone mind. In regard to this the risk is great but the adage of nothing ventured nothing made, will perhaps control the action of the republican managers. ‘What of the Riddieberger debt settlement? Will the repub- — dare attack it in their platform tomor- ro Gen. Mahone has s plan formulated some 6s. time ago which is understood to be something in the nature of a concession to the creditors It is probably little more than a placebo, but the sentiment of it is said to amiable and friendly, and this is better than anything which has yet came from the mouths of the read- justers, a. BP. WOMAN SUFFRAGE. It Has Proved of Great Benefit in Kan- Torzxa, Kay., Aug. 21.—Gov. Hutchinson, Attorney General Kellogg, Chief Justice Hor- ton and Associate Supreme Justices Valentine and Jounston have furnished for publication Officia’ statements that woman suffrage at mu- nicips. elections in Kansas has proved such a great [pew benefit that they advise other states to adopt it. None of these officers are elected by women’s votes. Judge Johnston adds that the suffragista’ claims are fully justi- fied by experience. A NEW YORK TRAGEDY. Richard Hanlon Shot in Front of His Own Door. New Yonx, Aug. 21. ichard Hanlon, who of late years has been a well-known figure at the French pool rooms at Coney Island race track, where he kept the crowd in line, was shot and probabiz mortally wounded this morning on the sidewalk in front of his resi- dence, 22 west 42d street. John McCue, a boarder in the house, shot him. He was ar- rested. Mecue bo formerly a salesman in store, but a year ago threw up his eee took to bartending. Lately he has out of work. On Sunday Hanlon, with whom he was boarding, ordered him out of the house, but McCue refused to go out. This morning at 1:80 o’clock they met at the stoop. Hanlon ordered him away. McCue turned wii an oath to his room-mate, who was with him, and demanded a pistol. ‘Give it to me andI’ll kill the —_,” he said. McCue’s companion ob- jected. There was a short struggle between the men, but McCue got the weapon. Hanlon’s daughter, who had come to the door, cried out: “Look out father,” but almost before the words died on her lips there was a flash and Hanion fell on the flag stones, shot hrough the left side. A policeman arrested McCue with the revolver still in bis hand. McCue said that Hanlon had threatened to kill him and that the shooting was in self defense, THE CRONIN CASE. On the Track of Three Accomplices in the Murder. Cutcaco, Aug. g1.—The police officers are prying into other secrets in the vicinity of the Carlson cottage. It is now said that Iceman O'Sullivan had a horse with a white face simi- lar tothe one which Mertz says drew the rig that took the man he identified as Coughlin to the Carlson cottage the night of the murder of Dr. Cronin. The police claim to have dis- covered that this horse was not in the barn the evening of the murder. A member of the Cronin committee said yes- terday: “We are now receiving much unex- pected aid. We are on the tracks of three other accomplices, and it would not surprise me if before long Mr. See een would have to convene a a grand jury.” People at the jail say that Dan Cougblin is becoming nervous to a painful degree. He bas lost flesh and he does not sleep, they say, It is said that he dreads the approach of the trial and wants it put off. His attorney, it is thought, is trying to get at the state witnesses in the case. —_+— The Oklahoma Convention. Gurtuniz, Oxtanoma, Aug. 21.—The Okla- boma territorial convention to draft a constitu- tion and memorialize Congress for protection according to law met yesterday. Nothing be- yond an organization was effected. South Oklahoma, which opposes everything Guthrie advocates, is almost entirely unrepresented. esata att Coa Their Last Days on Earth.

What the Parking Commissioners Say in Their Annual Report. The annual report of the parking commission was submitted to the Commissioners to-day. The commission reports steady progress in the removal of guard boxes from trees, and the substitution therefor of wire. The work will be continued but wire will only be used in places where people are careful that horses are not allowed to damage trees, The commission says it finds itself impeded by lack of sufficient appropriation, and many thousands of the older trees are suffering for WANT OF ATTENTION, More unpaved space and better soil around their roots is necessary and where it has been done good results have followed.

GARNETT MOVES TO DISMISS, Mr. Garnett then moved that the case be dismissed. He held that the District had to show that some one was really obstructed, He thought that the mere showing that the street was blocked was not sufficient to convict the oe ‘Suilington ttaid thet th purpose of this : n t the of ordinance was to keep the streets at railroad crossings clear. Pedestrians and drivers have some rights, and they have a right to travel the streets without interruption. The law, he said, required the trains to keep moving while crossing the streets. He certainly thoi that the government did not have to show that there were persons really at the crossing at the time of the obstruction. Again, he said, the pedes- trians and vehicles have the right of way on the streets. The streets are for the people and not for the railroad companies, Mr. Garnett called the court's attention to ~ charge and read the section under which charge was brought, Judge Mille said thet from Mr. Garnett’s claim he understood that if the train blocked the crossing for an hour and there did not How rae Rerams May sz Mapr.—The first controller, in reply to a question submitted by the supervising architect, has decided, in view Surgeon General Hamilton of the marine hospital service today received a telegram from Delaware Breakwater stating that f the fact that th ‘ial and ‘ifie the captain of the vessel John A. ee oie a printions, ‘amounting’ to $190,000, made ty the Briggs, which arrived at that _ port | Foss the law would not be violate acta of March 3, 1887, and October 2, 1888, Mr. Garnett ssid that that was what he claimed. If there is no evidence that a person or vehicle is obstructed he claimed that there would be no violation of the section. THE MOTION OVERRULED. Judge Mills overruled the motion made by Mr. Garnett to dismiss the case, The judge yesterday with the dead body of the wife of the captain on board, had re- ceived orders to proceed to Philadelphia. The captain desires to land the body at that port and ship it by rail to Machias, Maine, for burial.
