GENERAL FOREIGN AFFAIRS PARIS, September 10.—The disaster to the Paris and Cologne express train at Apilly, between Noyon and Chauny, yesterday was more serious than at first supposed. The first estimates placed the number of persons killed at ten, with twenty injured. It is now stated that from forty to sixty were killed or injured. Twelve dead bodies have already been taken from the wreck. The minister of public works, M. Barthou, and a number of railway officials have gone to the scene of the accident. It ts definitely stated that the accident was due to the slow shunting of a freight train at Apilly. The. engineer of the express saw the cars on the line and reversed his engine. The shock of the collision was borne by the three front cars, which sustained the brunt of the damage. As soon as the accident became known a number of priests anJ physicians hurried to the railroad station and did everything pos- sible to assist the dying and injured travel- ers. The report that the station master at Apilly had committed suicide by jumping in front of the express train when he saw that @ collision was inevitable turns out to be in- correct. The station master ran along the track while trying to signal the express train and to the freight train, which was in its way, and he was caught between the two trains and killed. It seems to be certain that there were no Americans among the killed or injured. ———_—_ CHINESE TRANSPORT WRECKED. The Troops an: the Crew Were Safely Landed. LONDON, September 10.—A dispatch re- ceived here from Shanghai says that the Chinese transport Chean, while proceeding to Formos: with 1,406 troops on board, was wrecked in the Che-Tung pass. A panic occurred on board when the steamer went ashore, but all the soldiers and the crew of the Chean were safely landed in her beats. There is no hope of saving the transport. Another dispatch received here from Shanghai today says that on Saturday last some Chinese officials boarded a French mail steamer en route to Japan and de- manded to search the ship for Japanese officers coming from Europe, who were said to be returning home on board of her. The captain of the steamer refused to al. low his ship to be searched and was ance of a French war ship before the local officials withdrew. ¢ Inquiries made here today by a repre- sentative of the Associated Press at the Chinese and Japanese legations show that the officials of both these countries dis- credit the report that negotiation for an armistice are in progress between China and Japan. TACOMA, Wash., September 10.—Officers of the steamship Sikh report that the steamship Mogul, whose place onthe North- ern Pacific line was en by the Sikh, has been purchased by the Japanese gov- ernment, and is now manned by Japanese officers and crew. The price is reported at £35,000. The Mogul will be used as a tran: port or be refitted for a cruiser. The Sikh's officers understand that the Japanese gov- ernment had given a Japanese steamship company two million dollars with which to purchase steamers. LONDON, September 10.—A special dis- patch received here today from Rome says that the pope is reported to have expressed a wish to arrange the troubles between China and Japan, but he was prevented by France, who feared that the intervention of the church would undo the work which France was carrying on in-the east. — AN ELOPEMENT THAT FAILED. The Lady Saw Another Lover and De- eided to Marry Him. CARTHAGE, Ill, September 10.—A sen- sational elopement episode has caused no end of talk and excitement in the vicinity of Bowen and Denver, in this county. Er- nest Glaze, son of a well-known farmer living at Versailles, and Miss Effie Ingra- ham, the only daughter of Frank Ingra- ham, a wealthy retired farmer, living in Versailles, Brown county, decided to bring a threo years’ courtship to a close, starting to go and be married at Clayton and from there to Quincy. At Clayton the young lady saw an old lover, and the love in her heart was rekindled ard she decided to turn the cold shoulder and set about to capture the former Clayton lover. She de- termined not to go to Quincy, but to come to Bowen, so she gave the young lover the “slip” and arrived here on the morning train. Young Glaze came here looking for her, ignorant of the fact that she wished to get rid of hig. Bowen people were told by Miss Ingraham that young Glaze was ufter her, and asked protecticn, that he had sworn to kill her if she refused to marry him, as she was in love with the young Clay tonite. She was taken to the home of a relative near Denver, where she was promised pro- tection, and relatives guarded the premises to see that young silaze did not enter. Young Glaze arrived in search of the girl with whom he was deeply in love, but could gain no tidings of her, and started on the hvnt for her. He Visited every town in this section of th= state, but could hear nothing of her. Subsequently he returned to Bowen armed with the youns lady's wedding trous- seau and a $it note, which she had given him to keep, and which was presented to her on her twenty-first birthday. Young Glaze offered large sums of money if some one would tell him where she was in hid- ing, but could obtain no news of her. Mr. Glaze says he never threatened to kiil the Biri. oe WANTS IT PUSHED AT ONCE. Mrs. Stanford’s Lawyers Will Not De- lay the Government’s Suit.

The estate is nearly ready for distribu- tion, except for three claims that are pend- ing, the principal of which is the $15,000,- 000 claim against the Stanford estate which Attorney General Olney has presented on behalf of the government to Mrs. Stanford as executrix. This sult is an annoyance to Mrs. Stanford, because so long as it is unsettled it will prevent her from spending a dollar of the estate in behalf of the uni- versity. = This claim the executrix has repudiater.. The estate will be tied up as long as thy! claim is pending. The Stanford attorneys | are doing what they can to expedite a set- tlement. They are urging the Attorney General to begin and push his suit, and have said that they will watve all objec- tions based on technicalities which might otherwise delay a trial of the issue on its merits for years, and until the claim is fully due. But a small portion of the a! leged indebtedness will fall due in Janu- ary, 1805, when the first of the mortgage bonds are payable. The rest will fall due in several successive years thereafter. It has been a question with Mr. Olney as to his power to bring suit before the whole indebtedness is due. —— MANY YET APPREHENSIVE. Fires Still Causing Alarm in Min- Resota. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., September 10.—A" Duluth special to the Tribune says: The operator at Mahtowa yesterday after- noon reported fire all around him and chok- ing smoke. At Sturgeon Lake and Moose Lake fires also caused uneasiness to resi- dents there, but no positive reports of dis- aster have been received up to a late hour last night. The northbound Mmited arrived at Duluth at 10 o'clock last night, three hours late. Passengers reported much fire along the line outside the district swept a week ago. A Pine City special says danger from fire in that city has not yet passed. Yesterday afterncon the strong wind stirred up a great fire just north of the town, but the wind subsided at night, and the danger is at least temporarily over. At Rush City the residents became so frightened that they boarded a freight train standing on the tracks, so as to be ready for departure, but the danger passed when the wird subsided. > HIGH WINDS AND RAIN. Storm in Iowa, I id Hiinois. CHICAGO, September 10.—A severe elec- trical storm, accompanicd by high winds, passed over northwestern lowa, northern Tlnols and Indiana last evening, accompa- nied by heavy thunder and lightning and torrents of rain and hall. Marshalltown, Clinton and Davenport report considerable damage, numerous build- ings and irees being struck by lightning, and telegraph and telephone poles pros- trated. Similar reports come from Rochelle, Spring Valley, Bloomington, Galesburg, gin and other lilinois towns, and from Co- lumbia City, Fort Wayne and South Bend. In this city numerous streets were flooded through the choking of sewers, and numer- ous shade trees and small outbuildings were blown down. Severe Electric: a DALTON, OHIO, BURNED OUT. Ceuldn’t Get Water Enough to Ex- tinguish the Flames. CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 10.—A special from Massillon, Ohio, says: The ttle village of Daltcn, located nine miles north of here, was almost totally destroyed by fire early this morning. The fire orig- inated in a stable, and while the direct cause of its origin is unknown, it is pre- sumed that it was prompted by tramps tak- ing qvarters there for thé night. The en- tire kes is estimated at $200,000, the heav- lest losers being the Royal Insurance Com- ¥. Pathe post office department and its entire conterts was included in the flames... Canton, Massilion and Orrville fire de- partments were hasfily summoned, and re- sponded, but thelr presence was of no avail, as sufficient water could not be pro- cured to do any good. The citizens are frantic with grief over the loss of their business blocks and residences, and home- less women and children are seen on every corner crying bitterly. ——>_—_. KILLED BY A TROLLEY WIRE. Lin m= Vrea Got a Sudden Shock and Fell Forty Feet to Death, Philip Vrsa, a lineman employed by the Hudson Electric Company of Hoboken, N. J., was killed by falling from a pole Satur- day night. His fall was caused by his re- ceiving a powerful electric shock. ‘The storm had disarranged the wires used to carry the current in addition to the regular force in the trolley wire. Vrsa went along the line fixing the wires. At the corner of two streets he climbed to the lower crossarm of a pole, forty feet above the street. He had just reached the cressarm and placed his hand on it to draw himself up when he uttered a cry and fell backward. When his hand went up sparks flew from it. He struck his head on the flag sidewalk. His skull was fractured, his right arm broken, three ribs on the right side stove in and his head cut and crushed. co. DAMAGES FOR FUR SEALERS. Estimate of What the Owners of Canadian Vessels Want. Information comes from Victoria, B. C., that the owners of sealing vessels seized by United States vessels are willing to accept $425,000 as satisfaction in full for their claims against the United States, under the terms of the Paris arbitration. It is not strictly accurate to say that the United States has offered to pay the sum named. All that the Secretary of State did was to promise to use his best endeavors to have Congress make an appropriation in settle- ment of these claims. The sum named was agreed upon by the representatives of Great Britain and the United States as an ex- treme limit of damages, to be disbursed in the event sf congressional sanction, An international commission will be appointed to pass upon the claims. They aggregate much more than $425,000, and will have to be scaled accordingly. Nothing can be done ba = matter unless Congress provides the ‘unds. re To Condemn Mr. Dunlop’s Action. Mr. John C. Wilson, a stockholder in the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Co., has written a letter to the directors of that road, inviting their attention at the meet- ing of the directors on Wednesday to the importance of taking immediate action con- demning in the most public and unmistak- able way the recent behavior of the acting president in connection with the Labor day parade and the Pythian night parade. The meeting of Cigarmakers’ Union, No. 110, was enlivened Saturday night by a dis- cuss.on of the recent action of President Dunlop of the Washington and Georgetown Rajlroad Company in attempting to force the cable cars through the Labor day pa- rade, despite the orders of the District Con missioners. Resolutions were adopted reciting that the Cigarmakers’ Union con- demr the course pursued by President Durlop, and tenderi the thanks of the organization to Lieut. ly and his officers for stopping the cars, and thus saving life and limb. Interstate Democratic Association. Saturday evening a meeting of the Inter- state Democratic Association was held, dur- ‘ng which considerable routine business was transacted and several applications for membership were received. In the ab- sence of Presideat Jerome B. Turner of Michigan, ex-President Gray of Louisiana presided. Judge Blackwell of Alabama and Maj. C. W. Brush of Oregon were elected vice presidents in the association from their respective states. For the information of the agsociation a Hst of the appointments made in the government departments since the last inauguration of President Cleveland was laid before the meeting. The executive committee was requested to secure the names of those desiring to go-home to vote at the coming elections, and was also di- rected to obtain reduced railroad rates for such parties. It was announced that the executive and finance committees would be in session next Wednesday evening. —_—._—. Cholera is making progress in Europe.

POLITICS are ASS > BES Democrats Have Hopes of Success in the Little. State. Ls MINISTER BAYARD-A POSSIBLE FACTOR a eg dT He May Come to the Senate as a Compromise. GENERAL GOSSIP . Tomorrow two out of the three counties which comprise the state of Delaware will select democratic candidates for the state legislature, to be elected in November. This event is important because upon it hangs the selection of a United States Senator to suc- ceed Senator Higgins, if the state goes democratic, and it may, under certain con- |. tingencles, involve a change in the most important diplomatic mission under the government, the British ambassadorship, now held by Mr Bayard. > Democrats Hope : One side of the political situation in Dela- ware, which ts an interesting one, was ex- plained to a Star reporter today by a man holding a responsible position under the government in this city, who is very fa- Millar with Delaware politics. He recently returned from the state convention which nominated Mr. Bancroft for Congress to suc: ceed Mr. Causey, and he said that the dem- ocrats are unusurily hopeful of success at the coming elections. The tariff question is to be the issue, and the democrats are going into the fight under the administration ban- ners, indorsing the Wilson bill, the Chicago platform's silver plank, and saying as little as possible about the income tax. ‘The leg- islature which 1s to be elected will choose a United States Senator. Two Most Likely Candidates. The Star's informant discussed the sena- torial probabilities in the event of the legis- lature going democratic, He sald the two most likely candidates will be James L. Wolcott, the present chancellor of the state, and Congressman Causey. It is almost certain that the next Senator will come from one of the lower counties—Kent or Sussex—as Newcastle county is already rep- resented in the person of Senator Gray, and it ts not probable that the state would’ con- sent to Newcastle county controlling the entire congressional delegation. Both of these men are said to be popular and strong with the people, and it would be a hard matter to predict which will carry the most votes. The representation of each county in the legislature {s the same, and the two agricultural districts of the southern por- tion of the state have the same standing as the wealthy manufacturing district of the north. Mr. Wolcott made a vigorous race for the senatorship against Mr. Saulsbury several years ago and developed consider- able strength, Mr. Causey has become fa- miliar with the voters of the state through his two terms in Congres, Bayard as a;;Cempromise. It was the opinion of The Star's inform- ant that in case it should be found impos- sible to chcose betwéén Mr. Wolcott and Mr. Causey, oa Bayard may be selected as a ‘¢Ompromise between the other two conffisting interests. It 1s said to be the optilbri*of a great many people in Delaware that Mr. Bayard would very willingly come to the Senate. He is not a wealthy man, and the social exac- tions of his office involve a heavier financial outlay than the em its thereof pro- vide. It is thonght jthat Mr. Bayard is pretty well satiated with diplomatic honors by this time, and that he would find the Senate very much to his"liking. Mr. Bay- ard is expected to return to thts country next month on a leave of absence, and his coming has revived the gossip about the senatorship. It is known that the Presi- dent would be glad“to have Mr. Bayard in his old seat as a stanch and able defender of the administration. It is sald that if Mr. Eayard decides to make the race for the senatorship he will find two very sturdy competitors, who are not at all inclined to yield without a struggle. If the Republicans W: If the republicans carry the state there will be three candidates for Senator. Mr. Higgins will run again. Then there is Mr. J. E, Addicks, a man of great wealth, hi income being about $150,000 a year. He is already an avowed candidate, and, it is sald, has expressed his intention to do his duty toward the campaign fund. The third man is George Massey, said to be an exceedingly popular man and to have a considerable personal following among even the demo- crats. He resides at Dover, and is the counsel of the Pennsylvania railroad. —_—_—__-@_ TAKING CARE OF TREE: Val ble Practical Suggestio: or fered by the Parking Commission. Every good citizen of Washington is in- terested in the city’s shade trees. With a v-ew of putting that interest to practical use, the parking commission has submitted to the Commissioners rules for the guidance of those who wish to benefit the trees: “During the period of aciive growth of the trees, say from the middle of April to end of August, water may be applied freely at the roots and sprayed amopg the branches as far as can be reached. It will be allow- able at sll times to remove weeds from the unpaved spaces around the trees, and no harm will accrue from lime washing the stems and lower branches of trees, or tree boxes. The removal of ‘erpillar webs by hand cr by clipping off small twigs with incipient nests may be done, but no burn- ing of these caterpillar webs should be at- tempted, as this process usually results in more harm than good; of course, no such removals are to be deposited on the streets, “Pruning of any description should be left to the operations of the parking commis- sion; although superfluous or interfering branches may be pruned on trees in park- ings, provided that such prunings are not thrown into the streets, where they would be a nuisance; but no interference in any manncr will be allowed in the case of trees at the curb line. ‘For the removal of trees, pruning of branches, or any other requirement de- sired, the District Commissioners should be notified, and the matter will receive at- tention as soon az it can be reached, which may not be for weeks after the rotification is received, as the working force at com- mand will not enable the parking commis- sion to make an exclusive specialty of in- dividual cases.” —_——__-e+______ WILL BE RETURNED. The Oyster Vessels Captured by Vir- ginia in Maryland Waters. Gov. O'’Ferrall, in his letter to Gov. Brown of Maryland regarding the Maryland-Vir- ginia oyster disputes, agtees with the re- port of the committee that when the two Maryland vessels were captured they were in the waters of Maryland, but states that the captain of the Chesapeake did not know that such was the case at the time of the capture. In regard to pursuing unlawful dredgers within the waters of Maryland, the governor says: “I agree with the committee that if Vir- ginia is to pursue the unlawful dredgers of Maryland at all, it has the right to pursue them into Marland waters.” However, he thinks, as does the commit- tee, that the condition of affairs at the time of the capture did not justify the Chesapeake in pursuing them into Mary- land waters, and he regrets that such an invasion was made. He asserts, however, that in order to protect Virginia's oyster grounds from the unlawful dredgers of Maryland, his commonwealth has the right to pursue them into the waters of that state, and that he will exercise that right whenever Virginia's interests are again threatened by these unlawful oystermen upon her territory. t In regard to the capture of the two ves- sgls he says that as he has admitted that they were captured in Maryland waters, and that as the circumstances at that time did not justify such a capture, he will re- turn the vessels to the governor of Mary- land in response to his request. In con- clusion the governor expresses the hope that no further trouble will arise between the two states in regard to the violation of the oyster laws of Virginia. TROOPERS IN CAMP. Hall and Go CAMP HARRISON 8. BARBOUR, Marshall Hall, Md., September 9, 1894. At last, after a whole night spent in the saddle, the hardy men of troop A, District of Columbia National Guard, are under can- vas at Marshall Hall, Md., and, notwith- standing the tedious ride of thirty-five miles, are as happy and jovial as men ever were. Of course, no one slept yesterday, and it is certain even the sleepiest did not doze last night, for it was necessary to keep a sharp eye out, as the night was not very bright. And then these delightful Charles county roads are none too certain. The bugle sounded the advance at 8 o'clock last night, and the line of march was taken up, with First Lieutenant John T. Eiker in command. The little column proceeded down Pennsylvania avenue, turned out Ist street, went through the Capitol grounds, struck out through East Washington, and secon crossed the bridge into Anacostia. The rain of yesterday afternoon had set- tled the dust to a degree, and the ride prom- ised to be a most pleasant one. It is a cer- tain fact that no militia organization ever started ovt with a better lot of horses, and, was expected, the guardsmen made ex- cellent time on the march. There was no straggling, and everything moved along at an easy, though rapid, walk. Capt. Bar- bour, the commanding officer of the troop, was unavoidably prevented from accompa- nying his men on the trip. Assistant Quartermaster Sergeant Shlom- berg was taken ill on the road, and for an hour or so rested in the ambulance. How- ever, when Pis:ataway was reached he was on hand to assist in the issue of rations, and soon afterward mounted his horse and join- ed the troop. For about ten miles it seemed as though all the creeks in Mary- land had run dry, nearly every man and beast in the cavalry outfit was thirsting to-a painful degree, when suddenly the heavens mercifully opened and dropped a deluge on the whole turnout. Orders were immediately given to don ponchos, but be fore they could be unstrapped and put on every one of the militiamen was drenching wet to the skin. The command was halted for fifteen minutes, when the rain had les- sened sufficiently to permit the resumption of the rapid march. This last downpour settled the dust to such an extent that until the troop had come within three miles of camp the journey was really delightful. ‘When the boys rode into the resort they kcoked every inch old campaigners, and it is safe to say they felt like they had seen a little service. The weary travelers re halted in cantp at 6 o'clock, and with due solemnity the star spangled banner was tossed out to the free breezes that seemed only waiting to bear the noble ensign in glory above the camp of her volunteer de- fenders. The hungry soldiers had to wait three hours before breakfast was served, this de- lay being caused by the arrival of the troop ahead of time, but when it was served there were forty men with empty stomachs to fill, end it is safe to say they did full justice. ‘The commanding officer allowed today for rest, and, though every man in camp rested, Lut few slept, Among the visitors to the camp today were Capt. H. G. Forsberg, Quartermaster Sergeant Biondi and other members of the light battery. There were also quite a num- ler of ex-members of the troop on hand to pay their compliments. The day has been one of intense heat. First Lieutenant How- ard C. Russell, surgeon to the troop, has had a number of minor cases of illness, but reports no serious calls. The doctor is a “dandy,” as the boys express it, and all are cenfident of his ability to take care of the health of the camp, Coramissary Sergeant McChesney has his hands full preparing for Sagan “blow out,” to be given in a few 8. —_—_—. LYNCHING IN THE SOUTH. A Noted Desperado Shot in His Cell— dictments at Memphis. Link Waggoner, a noted desperado of north, Louisiana and eastern Texas, was shot to death in his cell in the parish jail at Mirden, La., by a mob Saturday night. Waggoner was a perfect type of manly beauty, and as brave a lion. For the past five years he had been a terror in that country. Innumerable murders are laid at his door, and his robberies were most daring. He was captured about a year ago at Nacogdoches, Tex., and brought to Homer, in Clayborne county, and tried on a charge of murder. The case was not proven against him, and he was sent to the jail at Minden for safe keeping to await trial on other charges against him. While at Homer an attempt was made by @ mob to kill but single-handed, hav- ing in some uni untable manner obtain- e@ Lossession of a pistol, he kept the whole mob at bay until assistance arrived. Sat- urday night the jail was broken into by a mob of seventy-five, who shot him dead in his cell, and then dispersed. Waggoner has three brothers in Nacogdoches, and it is believed that they will make an attempt to avenge his death. The desperado had a good many friends, and they may also join in a feud, which would be a bloody one from the outset. The Millington Affair. The Memphis grand jury, which were in session all day Saturday,that night returned six true bills against M. Strickfaden, Jim Perley and Ed. Smith for murder. They are charged with being. parties to the lynchirg of the six negroes at Millington on the night of August 31. These three had already been arrested*on bench war- rants, but their indictment created consid- erable excitement. Following the action of the grand jury, Judge Cooper issued a bench warrant for Assistant Jailer Will Cox on a charge of perjury. Cox, who was in the ante-room waitirg to the grard jury, was arrested a ed the negroes did not consist of over ten persons, and this looks bad for Richardson, the detective, who stated it consisted of fifty men. Ten men would not have made the attack unless they had an understand- ing with Richardson. The whole plot will be laid bare in a day or so—at least, that is what the officers say. Before many hours elapse it is thought every one who had anything to do with the affair, or the majority of them, will be be- hind the bars. Bob McCarver, son of Sheriff McCarver, is the one who has given the necessary in- formation. He was invited to participate in the killing by H. N. Smith, one of the men how in the county jail under indict- ment for murder in the first degree. It was represented by McCarver that his father, the sberiff, knew all about it, and that Judge Cooper of the criminal court was not in the dark. These false representations were made by Smith for the purpose, if possible, of mix- ing Sheriff McCarver up in the affair through his son, so his hands would be tied it an investigation should be instituted by the authorities. The scheme failed. McCarver’s examination resulted in the ar- rest of Jailer Cox for perjury, and the binding of McCarver in $10,000 bonds to in- sure his remaining in the city. Speedy Trial is the Remedy. Elias Carr of North Carolina has been a little vexed lately by what he deems the unjust criticisms of many northern papers upon his course in the case of Bob Madkirs, colored, who was lately in dan- ger of being lynched for the rape of a little white girl in Alamance county. The governor proposes a remedy for lynching in the south. In an interview he was asked: “What do you think will be the ultimate remedy that we will have to have in the south as to rape between the ces?” “I think we are having the remedy now, sir, in having as speedy trial as possible, and to remedy the matter much as pos- sible I would suggest that it will be advisa- ble to confine these rapists in the pen tentiary at once, as soon as they are ar- rested, until a court of justice can be held and give them a fair trial. That would put them beyond the reach of lyn¢hers.” “Well, the punishments that are inflicted don't seem to lessen the crime of rape.” “Well, you can't tell how many more there would be but for this punishment.” As to northern criticism, Gov. Carr said: “I think it is very unjust, and I consider it exceedingly fortunate for the white women of the country that those who are guilty of the crime of rape do not read the northern papers, or there would be more rape com- mitted, and if they condemned the fact of raping more and lynching less it would have a better effect.” “And at the same time, you don’t want to condone lynching at ail.” “Not at all. a Herman Ludwig Ferdinand von Helm- holtz, to whom physical science is forever indebted, died in Berlin of a second ~*tack of paralysis Saturday, INDEX TO ADVERTISEAENTS.

The Breckinridge managers, who have control of the committee in nis district, carried through Saturday after- noon their scheme of imposing a pledge to suppcrt the regular democratic nominee op all voters who may be challenged at next Saturday's primaries. The committee met at Lexington, Ky., ang, after a warm re- sistance on the part of three of the county chairmen, who favor Mr. Owens’ candidacy, the call for the primaries issued some time ago was modified so as to require from all suspected voters a pledge of loyalty to the party in the congressional election in November. The additional rule provides that no one shall be allowed to vote at the primary “unless he, first, is a legal voter in the precinct where he offers to vote; sec- ond, is a known democrat, who has afliliated with the democratic party in the past, and, third, intends in good faith to support at the regular election in November next whomsoever may be by the proper party authorities declared to be the nominee of the party at said primary.” Opinion is divided as to the expediency of this latest move on the part of Breckin- "S managers, and the Owens leaders are loudly asserting that it indicates the hopeless ‘collapse of the “silver-tongued” orator’s canvass. Any attempt to enforce the new rule with unnecessary stringency will be bitterly resented by the anti-Breck- inridge element, and in the event of Col. Breckinridge’s success this departure from party custom in his interest will be in- voked dy. his im the party as a ready pretext for supporting an independ- ent or republican opposition candidate. ——-- +e Death of Dr. Joseph F.
