A Talk With Mr. Breckenridge—The Organization of the House. Representative Breckenridge of Kentucky has been in the city for a few days, He saidin conversation with aSrar reporter that, con- suiting his own convenience he would oppose the calling of an extra session of Congress, but that from a purely partisan point of view he would hope to see the republican President get Congress together early. “For,” he said, “‘tochave discordant elements close togethér is an element of weakness.” He says he does not think the republicens will have any difficulty in organizing the House. Being in the minority, the democrats would not make themselves disagreeable where there | Was no good init, He did not think either that there would be so much of a contest over the contested election cases as to threaten the usefulness of the session, He based this inion, however, upon the assumption that the republicans would give up the attempt to unseat democrats when a. found that the minority was too strong to submit to partisan injustice, PROTECTION IN THE SOUTH. Speaking of the republican protection crusade in the south, he said it would fail, reason that with cheap and eastern manufacturers had an advantage over those of the south which they would not have if the protection were less, An attempt to ap- to the selfish impulses of the south would ave just a contrary result from that sought by the republicans, The local interests of the south would be ad- vanced by not giving their eastern rivals so much protection. The southern manufactur- ers, he thought, could see this. MR. GAY'S SUCCESSOR, Speaking of the attempt to elect a republican to succeed Mr. Gay in the House from Louis- iana on the- protection issue he said that the people there should know that the republicans are not sincere in offering them protection for their sugar industry; for, in fact, that was the very industry they would attack. The tariff on sugar they would re- move, if they could, in order to keep that on things they are more interested in. This lace for reducing the revenue would, doubt- less, include the repeal of tobacco and’ liquor, tax the abolition of the duty on sugar. THE VIRGINIA NOMINATIONS. A Sharp and Vigorous Campaign Ex- * Pected in the Old Dominion. The result of the Norfolk convention is just what nearly every one expected and republi- cans here who are interested in the Virginia contest, are very well pleased. It insures as hard a fight in Virginia as has ever been had. Mahone has entered the con- test with the purpose to win and no possible effort will be spared to secure victory, With Mahone’s shrewdness and the favor of the administration, it is ngt expected that there will be much internal trouble with the party. The democrats will be attacked at the three points they are supposed to be weakest at in the state—their position on the tariff, the edu- cational and the state debt questions. The republican campaign will be conducted by the shrewdest political workers in the party, backed with money and an almost desperate earnestness, The nomination of Mahone, republicans think, means harder and more skillful fighting than could have been done with any other can- didate, He will put his whole energy into the contest, Gn the other hand the democrats assert that Mahone’s nomination will call out every demo- cratic vote against him, making the contest so bitter that there will be very very few stay-at-homes oh election day. This, they say, means strength for the The vote they expect will be almost as heav: on a presidential election. Both parties, it is said, will have considerable money and will spend it freely. The republicans, perhaps, can rely on more outside assistanc: THE NEW NAVAL DOCKS. The One at Norfolk Will Be Ready for Vessels Next Month. Mr. Simpson, the contractor for building the new Government dry docks at Norfolk and New York, Las notified the Navy department that the Norfolk dock will be in readiness to receive vessels the 19th of next month. The coffer dam will be taken away tuday. The gate which closes the dock is said to be a fine piece of work, being perfectly water tight, Ma- chinery of new and powerfal design has been supplied at this dock. One of the pumps has a capacity of 47,000 gallons per minute, which is far in excess of the pumpsin use at the Newport News dock, Seo they were regarded as ex- ceedingly powerful. There are two of these pumps at the Norfolk dock capable of empty- ing it in an hour and twenty minutes. This is less than the time in which a he od vessel can be handled and blocked up in the dock, but the rapidity of discharge will be a most important element in redocking vessels, or emptying the dock after discharging one veseel for the re- ception of another. The work upon the New York dock is also progressing rapidly, ard it is expected that it will be completed November 1 or a half month in advance of the contract time. THE RESCUED SAILORS. Commander Kellogg Said to Favor a Prosecution of a Cruel Shipmaster. The Navy department has received a report from Commander Kellogg, commanding the U. 8. 8. Ossipee, now in Hampton Roads, describ- ing the rescue of the two starving sailors from Arenas key, Yucatan, who were abandoned, together with a mate, who died before he could be reached, Acting Secretary Wulkex, after reading the report, roferred it to the judge advocate general of the navy with instructions to look at the legal aspects of the case. It is undoubtedly a fact that Capt. Kellogg recom- mends legal attion inst the master of the schooner Anna, who abandoned the men, The report will be sent over to the Department of Justice tomorrow, presumably with a request to prosecute, ‘Ihere has been considerable in- dignation expressed by naval officers over this case and one says that he has a recollection that a number of sailors were abandoned from this same schooner several years ago. In that case it is likely to go hard with her master, for this act of abandonment, which, in piratical days was known as ‘‘marooning,” is regarded as one of the worst acts in the category of naval sin. The man who died on the island was the victim, it is stated, of a homicide, TIMING RAILROAD TRAINS, Policemen Have Their Watches Out on the Line of the B and O.

The West Virginia Gubernatorial Ques- tion Practically Settled. NORTH DAKOTA NOMINATIONS Outline of the Republican Campaign in Virginia, THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN. How Mahone and His Following Will Conduct Their Fight. Special Despatch to Tue Eventxe Stan. Norrorx, Va., Aug. 23.—Despite the burning heat Mahone remains here, and is today con- ferring with his lieutenants as to certain initial movements of the campaign. A num- ber of leading federal officials who have ecently come into office are also here and have been active in the proceedings of the convention. ‘hey include both the United States marshals for the state, the dis- trict attorney and collector of internal reve- nue for the western district, a number of post- masters and a lot of smaller office holders, civil service reform rules to the contrary notwith- standing. Ali told their number is quite large. Mahone will in a short time TAKE THE FIELD IN PERSON and expects to make a score or more of speeches at the more populous points in the southwest, which is the protection region of the state, will receive the lion share of his atten- tion. The sinews of war will be skillfully em- ployed as well for purposes of defense as in operations of the opposite nature. Experienced republican advisers insist that Mahone is less likely to be made the victim of unfair election practices at the hands of his opponents than if e were aless famous or formidable antago- nist. This trict, it will be remembered, which is largely negro, was held by Bowden last November by the immense majority of nearly seven thousand. THE SERIOUS BREAK IN THE BLACK BELT oceurred not here, but in the Petersburg re- gion, and came through the candidacy of Ven- able, a rich tobacco manufacture of that city, who aided by republican disruption was successful to an-extent that McKinney can hardly hope to equal under any cirew stances, It is moreover claimed by Mahone’s friends that as the elder Venable was himself defeated for the democratic nomination, and and his son, the Congressman, has on his hands @ somewhat serious case of contest over his seat, their efforts in this campaign to take the gepublican vote away from Mahone are not seriously to be feared; but with all this, the outlook is AT BEST BUT BARELY HOPEFUL for the success of the republican ticket. That party has never elected a candidate to the office of Governor. Wells was beaten by Walker nearly twenty thousand; Hughes by Kemper nearly thirty thousand, and Wise by Lee fifteen or sixteen thousand, Every inded man familiar with this situation will also admit that owing toa variety of causes the Virginia democrats dre always more certain of carrying a state than a national election. —_>—_—. WEST VIRGINIA’S VOTE. It Is Evident That Fleming will be Declared Governor. Waueerxina, W.Va., Aug. 23.—-The legislative committee on the gubernatorial contest has commenced to read the depositions from Mer- cer and McDowell counties. These are the two counties that the democratic contestants allege were colonized by the republicans, ‘The plea is on the general ground that the miners em- ployed there are negroes, that they were not i f the state and that they voted the re- publican ticket; that they undoubtedly voted the republican ticket because, being negroes, it was natural for them to doso. Itis now evident that the committee will report in favor of Flem- ing, the democratic contestant, enough Goff votes having already been thrown out to settle that point. No frauds on either side have been found, all votes thrown out being upon tech- nicalities. They are votes of men who thought they had a right to vote and whose votes were received by the judges of elections, In many in- stances they were votes of men who hate besa life-long residents of the state, but through a misuuderstauding of a new law failed to vote in the proper Precinct in the county in which they reside. Among those thrown out was that of ex-Collector of Internal Revenue Duval and many others of equal prominence, In no case has intentional iraud been shown, tesein ecient THE INJURED EXCURSIONISTS. One Will Probably Die, But the Others May Recover. Kyoxvitiz, Teny., Aug. 23.—When the re- lief train reached Knoxville with those who had suffered from the accident yesterday thousands of people gathered at the station and along the adjacent streets and excitement was intense. Over a hundred carriages were in waiting. The scene, as the wounded and dead were be- ing taken out on stretchers, was a ghastly one, There was a great dearth of doctors and many of the inj had to wait several hours for at- tendance. It is feared that this fact, together with the drenching rain, will render the after effects very serious. It is now known that Sey- mour and ‘ker will lose their legs, There is little chance for Alderman Barry recovering. In the wreck he was thrown against the win- dow and his abdomen filled with powdered glass, His physicians give LITTLE HOPE OF RECOVERY, With this exception it is now believed that all the others will recover unless the exposure brings on complications. An inquest will be held tomorrow, but it is now believed that the wreck can be attributed to the condition of the road. ‘Iwo years ago Knoxville subscribed $225,000 toward the construction of the road and the contract period expires tomorro i if a F € TETEFEESE WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY.

Aug. 28.—At Mount Pleas- ant, Berkely county, this morning, a white lad seventeen years old, named Shaffer, shot and killed a negro woman named Holmes, The shooting was accidental but excited the negroes, who threaten violence. The boy was lodged in jail, and the jail is guarded by fifteen or twenty white men. Application has been made to the governor for troops to preserve the peace. General Huguenin has ordered the German fusiliers under arms, and will oo to Mount Pleasant by the first boat, The negroes threaten to storm the jail and take out Shaffer and lynch him. It is probable, however, that the affair will pass off without serious trouble. gnc ned MRS. MAYBRICK NOTIFIED. She is Officially Informed of the Com- mutation of Her Sentence. Lrverroot, Aug. 23.—The official messenger bearing the announcement of the commuta- | tion of Mrs. Maybrick’s sentence did not reach | the juil until 2 o'clock this morning. The news was at once communicated to the prisoner who betrayed some emotion, but not to the extent that was anticipated. The — visited her at breakfast time. The revulsion of feeling had then prostrated her and she seemed weaker than at any time since her arrost. It is feared that she will not live long.

The people are highly indignant over the apathy of the British government in respect to these seizures, It is rumored in official circles that the imperial government has ordered the war sl on the Pacific station to keep away from Bobring sea, A COLLISION IN THE BAY, ASchooner with Republican Delegates Run Into by an Unknown Vessel. Nonroxx, Va., Aug. 23.—Wednesday night as the schooner Bradden, Capt. John D. Grassett, | was proceeding from Essex county to this city with a party of delegates to the republican state convention on board, she was in collision in the bay with an unknown vessel, on which, it is stated, there were no lights, The schooner had her cabin cut in two and her main boom carried away. In the cabin were W. L. Waring of Essex county, who was very seriously injured about the head. The vessel put back to Mill creek, | when another vessel was procured and the party proceeded to this city. Mr. Waring was taken | to the Purcell house, when an ambulance was | rocured from the hospital of St. Vincent de Boal, to which institution he was sent for treat- ment.

A Quartette of Murderers Hung in New York Today. ‘THE EXECUTIONS TAKE PLACE IN TWO INSTALMENTS — BEHAVIOR OF THE VICTIMS ON THE SCAFFOLD ‘THE STORY OF THE CRIMES FOR WHICH THEY SUF- FERED THE DEATH PENALTY. New Yous, Aug. 23.—For the first time in the history of the tombs four murderers expiated their crimes on the scaffold within minutes of each other this morning. The situ- ation of the gallows, on each of which two men were hanged, was such that an interval of five minutes was necessary between the two execu- tions. Though the structures were a consider- able distance apart the noise of the drop in the gallows which sent Packenham and Nolan out of the world must have been plainly heard by Lewis and Carolin. The four men went into eternity firm in the belief that their salvation was in God. The scene in the little chapel where mass was said this morning and the sub- sequent farewells between the men were very impressive. The two Catholic priests who administered consolation to the men during heir last hours stayed with them until the last THE FIRST INSTALMENT, Preparations for the conducting of the first of the men to the gallows were commenced about 6:30, At 6:35 the jury, composed entirely of newspaper men, were placed in position. At 6:44 Carolin and Lewis were taken across the prison yard to the boys’ prison, where they were pinioned, Carolin was puffing hard ata big cigar. As soon as Lewis and Carolin had been transferred the sheriffs and priests that conducted them returned, and a moment later the hangman was summoned to make the pre- liminary tions for the hanging of Pack- enham and Nolan. As soon as these were com- seep the hangman returned to his place under gallows, and in a few minutes SPACKENHAM AND NOLAN WERE LED OUT en route to the scaffold. The sheriff and under sheriff led the way, while the condemned were flanked on one side by a priest and on the other by an officer. They walked with a firm step, but their faces wore anxious expressions. Both men looked around as they walked to the gal- lows, — from one reporter to another, as though hungrily searching for a familiar face. They had only about forty feet to go and were om epae under the cross beam. Both had already been pinioned and the black caps were on their heads ready to be drawn over their faces and the nooses were about their necks, The men had emerged from the prison at 6:48, and two minutes later the nooses were ad- justed, the black caps drawn and the rope hold- ing the weight was cut. Ina twinkling the bodies of the two murderefs SHOT UP INTO THE AIR s distance of about four feet and fell back to within two feet of the ground. The struggles of the men were very feeble and it was evident that their necks had been broken. Packenbam died in seven minutes, while Nolan survived a minute longer. They were allowed to hang | some pay Seger before being cut down and | mages in coftins | The most moving scene about this hanging was the awful expression upon the of the men as they took their places under the gallows, Nolan's jaw hung down, his lips quivered and fora moment he looked as though he would collapse. He quickly recovered himself, how- ever, and although his lips still trembled there was a regular motion which showed that he was repeating a prayer. Packenham was also evi- dently praying. A priest stood by each of the men. Both the condemned were staring fixedly ahead at the bare wall of the prison when the caps were drawn. Nolan's neck slipped a little to the back. A | slight wound was subsequentiy noticed at the | back of the neck and gradually the BLOOD TRICKLED DOWN OVER THE SHIRT COLLAR. It was supposed that the noose cut the skin as it tightened, but one of the attendant physi cians said it was merely due to the extreme tension on a specific sore which had been on the neck for some time, the result of a disease | from which Nolan was suffering. The bodies were finally cut down after banging a little overa half hour, and placed in coffins and turned over to their friends, Both men were in their coffins within fifty minutes of the time when they marched out to the gallows. When their caps were removed Nolan’s face showed the greater contortions, although the eyes and mouth of Peckingham were partly open. Nolan's eyes were staring wide open and his face wore a horrible ex- pression, ‘THE SECOND Act. Almost on the stroke of 7 o'clock Lewis and Carolin came out trom the boys’ prison, whither | they had been taken when their companions | went out to die, Arrangements for their exe- cution were in every detail the same as those on the other side of the prison, except that Carolin and Lewis were given a less weight than the first two. When they marched into sight of the gallows Carolin turned pale and tightly clutched the hand of the priest by his side. He looked straight ahead while he puffed hard at a half-smoked cigar. demeanor of the German was the manner in which the negro Lewis approached his fate. HIS FACE BEAMED WITH SMILES and he shook hands right and left with several members of the death watch, bidding them good-bye in cheerful tones. In short, he seemed to consider his hanging as the crowning honor of his life. Suddenly Carolin relinquished the crucifix and moving his pinioned hauds began to jabber excltedly in German, speaking so rapidly that his words could scarcely be caught. As nearly as could be understood this is what he meant to say: “I die an innocent man; G— d— it, I didn’t do this thing.” The three priests’ countenances looked shocked, but no reply to the dying man’ exclamation. Lewis scanned Carolin con- temptuously and remarked in the manner and with the accent of the typical bowery tough: “aM, WATS DER MATTER WID TER; DIE LIKE A Man,” with which words he curled his lip and spat to accentuate his contempt. “I will die like a man!” exclaimed Carolin excitedly, “but I'll die like an innocent man.” He was still mumbling when hangman At- kinson blackcapped him while his assistant Atkinson geWve the three rap ngnal ou the par: A mn gave 8) on Concealed the actual executione, and with acrash that must have been heard all over the pri It was 7.08 when the drop fell and the who! scene described oc:upied but minutes.
