HARMONY AT ALBANY Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, October 3, !8M. Here in New York city the democrats are doing some curious juggling with their congressional nominations. The men have not been nominated yet, but they will be in a@ day or two, and the Tammany slate kas been made out. Three of the democrats from this city will net return, and these are E. J. Dunphy, Timothy J. Campbell and John DeWitt Warner. Dunphy’s turn-down by Tammany has been expected for months ; and was certain from the day that the man who looks like Sadi Carnot ef France gave cut that famous letter from the Arlington Hote! in which he declared that Tammany was a creatur2 of unjust methods and a corrupt count and he would have nothing to do with it longer. He may run as an independent candilate. Big Col. William L. Brown of Cleveland-Hill dinner fame Wents the nomination there and will proba- bly get it. He is a good Hill man and Tam- mw and has atened for his Cleve- does not want to leave but Taremany has decided that his cengressional career has lastel long enough, and Cempbeil will obey, and the man who thinks that the Constitution is nothing between fricnds will sooa be nm ing some good municipal office. Congre man Warner has not been in Tammany, and his nominau ago Was against the est of some of the men who stood high in the tion. But at just that time Tam: in the business of making friend mies, and Warner's nomination was @ cessful olive branch posing lements, Straus, who went to Europe with Congress- man Wilson, has just written back that he does not care very much for a re-election. If that is the way he feels he will be ac- commodated very speedily end Senator Jacob A. Canter, who has been the leader of the democrats in the state senate, will be named in his stead. Amos Cummings ‘8 to not from his own distric out of his own bailiwick and into that of Franklin Bartlett. Bartlett will, in’ turn, ong into Warner s district, and favorite ant cotillion will represent t yeur. In th a t there will be noi be rcturned, but He is to step Wi m™ Sulzer, Your: favorite with Tammany, and they have been awaiting a good opportunity to send him to Washington. He was the leader of the Gemocrats in the lower branch of the legisltture after Wiliam Sheehan lett | there to be promoted to lieutenant gov- | erner, und was the youngest man who eve sat in the speaker’s chair at Albany. In Tia Campbell's distric neminee will be Harry C. tri- cal and Bowery fame, al IS op- e Cock- raa will succeed himself without demo- cratic epporition. If Tammany ever thousht of retiring him that time has all gone by. Tammany is now enthusiastic over its great orator and very anxious to have him speak for them on the fiocr of the House. General Daniel E. Sickles is having a hard fight for renomination. The opposi- tion comes from General M Me- Mahon and his friends. M as a candidate two years ago, when Sickles de- feated htm. McMahon stands high in Tam- many and it is a close fight. But Mayor Gilroy is inclined to side with Sickles, and if he carries out his feelings in a practical Way the one-legged warrior will win. Quigg to Run Again. Lemuel Ely Quigg will run for Congress again instead of for the mayoralty. Wien his rame was first mentioned as a possible candidate for mayor it was considered by many &s a joke. But it was no joke, as the other candidates scon found out. Quigg had one great argument in his favor. Plact favored him and so did the Alilholland or- ganization, and that is the only point the: do agree on. Under those circumstances it Was thought that he could poll the full re- pubiican vote where another republican would suffer from the factional differences in the party in this city. Quigg received a ge boom at the state convention. His speech as temporary chairman made a greut hit, and was-the best of the cdnven- tion. It was pert and it was aggressive, and it attracted attention to him as a young man who would make a hustling cam- paign for mayor. Eut it was feared that he could rot command the independent vote, and that the business men of the city would not feel lik putting their great interest in his hards. So Quigg will run tor Congress. Col. Brown does not want to run against him, after his defeat of last year, so has changed districts. Quigg’s democratic op- ponent will be “Honest John” Connelly, who was for several years in the state legislature. The man whom the republicans will run against Harry Miner will be Andrew J. Campbell, a man well along in years and in wea'th, and who is an iron manufacturer. ckran'’s opponent be Robert A. Cheescbrough, who manufactures vaseline, and kas made over a miliion dollars in do- ing so thus far. Cor gresman Bartlett will have a strong republican to run against. This is Col. Rickard C. Shannon. He is u lawyer, and has been United States minister to Nica- Tagua. While holding this office under Secretary Blaine he aided in negotiating several of the reciprocity treaties with the Central American republics. He is a vet- eran of the late war, and won his title on Gen, Slocum's staff. In the Albany District. Up in the Albany district Congressman Charley vill go back to Washington. Hill's nomination for governor settled that. For a time it looked very squally for Tracey. The*Hili democrats of Albany were deter- mined to oppose him, which would have proved his defeat.. But now Hill is out for harmony in his own city. So Tracey will be sent back to Congress, and the Hill fol- lowers will send their man to the legisla- ture. The undei nding has been made. Over the river, in Troy, the democrats have renominated Congressman Charles D. Haines. At first he announced that he did not care for another term. Then people said that he could not get a renomination because he voted against the Wilson bill. ‘This stirred Haines up and he made a hard fight and won the nomination. A Young Candidate. New York state will have a candidate in the next Congress for the honcr of being the ycungest member of the House. This _ SPECIAL NOTICES.

Foote, a handsome, curly- haired, wealthy young man from the north- ern part of the state, and he wiil sit in the seat of Congressman John M. Wever. Foote is only a youngster at politics, but he was clever enough to beat Wever and the irrepressible ex-Congressman Henry G. Burleigh. It was only a very few years ago that Foote was a student at Union Coliege, and he is not thirty years old yet. When ke got out of college he studied law, but with his law iploma in his pocket, he donned oy: work in the iron mines of Port Henry, so that he could have a trade as well as a professign. He “t for §7 a week down in ihe earth all , and studied mining from books at night.’ Soon he married the daughter of the man who owned the mines, Miss Witherbee. Her father is a political, as well as a financial power in that part of the state, and young Fovte stopped digging under the ground and jumped into politics. After a hard fight he carried off the re- publican nomination for Congress in a district that always gives 6,00) republican majority, and next year will be in Congress and probably the youngest man there. SILLING’S WIFE AND MOTHER. They Came Here, but Are Unable to Find Him, Yesterday af-ernoon on the train sched- ul@3 to reach here at 2:20 on the Southern railroad from Orange, Va., were two pas- sengers who carve here strictly on busi- ness. They were Mrs. Silling and her daughter-in-law, mother and wife of Arthur L. Silling, the St. Louis shoe drummer, an account of whese alleged intimacy with the wife of Dr. Glennan was printed in The Star two days ago, when Dr, Glennan’s suit for divorce from his wife was filed, after he had entered the 12th street board- ing house and taken his two children. The train on which the ladies arrived was be- hind time, and it was nearly 3 o'clock when they reached their hotel. They came from their home in Manassas, and, while they expected to remain here over ni. did not seiect for their stoppin house where it is alleged the son of the elder Mrs. Silling and husband of the daughter-in-law was found night before last. Soon after they reached here they were seen by a Star reporter. The mother was terribly distressed, but she was confident that her son had done wrong, and she did not want to shield him. His wife was equally anxious that the public should Know of her husband's conduct. The Wife's Suspicions Aroused. The wife's suspicions first en she made a suggestion early in July that sh2 accompany her husband to tdin- boro, Va., where he expected to rem few duys. vent to his feelit when the s w n was male, and after- rd wrote her a letter of apology for his conduct. After going to Edinboro, where Mrs. Glennan was sperding the Summer, he wrote affectionate letters to his wife until early in August, when his jecte ceased coming. Then the wife wrote a friend at Edinboro, and the response w “Ii you want your husband you had ter go to Harper's Ferry.” mer- who had given Silling shoe orders tearned of life he was living, and prompily canceled is said. .

She Story this was not y 1 d as many one These were sign one let first ALL. and this telegram gave the wife an id what was going en. Then let dressed to Silling under the name “Gilmore. One of the letters received contained a threat to expose him. A Visit to the 12th Street House. Late in the afternoon the 12th street Mrs. ator, boarding house was visited, and there it | was learned that Mrs. Glennan and Silling had left, the man saying he was going away. He paid his board bill before leav- ing. Thinks Sitling Has Left Town. Detective McDevitt is now confident that Siding has left the ¢ and he imagines he will not return to his Virginia home. Silling, he says, has no money, and if he is traveling he is Joing so with money furnished him by persons other than his wife or parents. The mother and wife of Silling will probably go home this after- nocn. ——-_-—_ ANOTHER PROTEST LIKELY. Austrian W ‘robubly Object to the Discriminating Sugar Duty. Austria is likely to join Germany at an early day in protesting against that fea- ture of the new tariff law of this country which puts a discriminating duty on sugar from countries paying an export duty or bounty on sugar. Chevalier de Tavara, the Austrian minister here, says that as yet he has received no instructions on the sub- ject. He states, however, that. he is ex- pecting Austria to make a protest similar to that of Germany, as the two countries act in concert on all questions of foreign policy. “The sugar industry of Austria is vast,” said the minister, “and it was one of the items principally affected by the reciproc- ity treaty between the United States and Austria. As to how the new American tar- :ff law will operate against Austrian sugar is still a question of doubt, as Austria pays no export duty similar to that paid by Ger- many, but gives a rebate to the Austrian sugar producers on the internal revenue tax levied on sugar. Whether this rebate will be construed to be equivalent to export duty remains to be seen. Its effect is prob- ably the same as it encourages the Aus- jan sugar producers on such of their pro- duct as they ship abroad, and yet it is not technically an export duty against which the new American tariff! law makes a dis- criminaticn.” Chevalier de Tavara was in Vienna on September 1 last, but the question had not come before his government up (o that time, as the tariff law did not go into ef- fect until a few days before that date. As the minister is about to go to his new post in Brazil, it is probable that his succes- ser, Mr. von Hengelmuller, will have charge of such steps as Austria determines to take on our sugar duties, oo TENEMENT SYSTEM. BERLL Plan of Reducing the Expenses ot the Poorer Classes. © The Berliners have a plan in practice, ac- cording to a report to the State Depart- ment, of reducing the expenses cf the poor- er classes of working people that tends to destroy the evils of the tenement house system, so formidable in our own great cities, and encourages living in separate houses. The plan is simple, consisting in the application of a greded tax upon the rentals of houses. Where the annual rent does not exceed 200 marks, there is no tax levied; on rentals of from 201 to 400 marks the rate is 2 per cent; from 401 to Ww marks, 3 per cent; from 601 to S00 marks, 4 per cent; from S01 to 1,000 marks, 5 per cent; exceeding 1,000 marks, 6 2-3 per cent. The house tax itself is uniform at per cent of the total receipts or use value of the property. —- District Court Changes. Mr. John R. Young, clerk of the District Supreme Court, today addressed a letter to Attorney General Olney, recommending the following changes in the clerk's office of the court, made necessary by the resigna- tion of Assistant Clerk Henry W. Hodges, who has been appointed assistant clerk of the Court of Appeals: Frank W. Smith, assistant clerk, from $1,500 to $1,800 per annum, vice Hodges; A. G. Buhrman, from clerk in charge of file rooms to assistant clerk, at $1,500, vice Smith; Fred. C. O’Con- nell and J. W. Latimer, typewriters, at $500 each. The changes have been approved by the Court in General Term, and as they reduce the expenses of the office $200 a year their ap@val by the Attorney General is ex- Fec¥:d as a matter of course. —_— => Arrival of Conan Doyle.

E. Griffith. Devotional exercises followed, conducted by Mrs. M. E. Catlin, superintendent of Sabbath observ- ance. The roll call revealed the fact that fifty-one officers and delegates were present. The minutes of the last executive meeting were read, corrected and approved. Committees were named by the president as follows: Credentials, Mrs, I. A. Williams and Miss Lizzie Kessler; courtesies, Mrs. Anna McDowell and Mrs. Jennie Bartlett; Irs, S$.

Mrs. Sophie Smith, superintendent cf mothers’ meetings, followed with an en- couraging report. Rey. Dr. Greene, h pastor of Calvary Bap- tist Chu t delivered a decidedly in- teresting, instructive and eloquent address of welcome. He was exceedingly glad, he said, to bid the union a most cord wel- come to the Sunday school house, and he felt henered by 1t8 presence. In ihe opin- ion of Dr. Greene no one can overestimate the work of women in the church of Jesus Christ, and the speaker said that when he reads of their magnificent work he al- ays thanks God for the same. Before closing Dr. Grecne dwelt on the point that people are in danger of laying too great in corporations, and he urged his to remember first of all that they are Christians.

CREDITABLE DEBATES. Young Christinns Argue the Que: of the Day, At the last meeting of the debating so- clety of the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation, the following was discussed: Re- solved, “That the preservation of property and the protection of interstate commerce demands an increase of the reguiar army.” A spirited affirmative was maintained by Messrs. Bray and Tasker, while the nega- tive was championed by Messrs. Campbell, Baber, Freeman and Williamson. The referee, Mr. W. U. Watson, decided that the weight of argument was in the negative. The society has secured a most favorable start for the season, and plans are being consummated for some unusually attractive programs. The program for the next meet- ing is as follows: Recitation, Mr. W. U. Watson; debate, question—Resolved, “That the, employment of women in vocations usually filled by men has proved detri- mental to the interests of the general pub- lic." Affirmative, Mr. L. Cabell William- son. Negative, Mr. Fred EB. Taser. Thé officers of the society are as follows: Presi- dent, Mr. Walter N. Weston; € _ presi- dent, Mr. O. M. Mather; secretary, Mr. C. Heubner; assistant secretary, Mr, L. Hammer. ————— A Bad Fall. John Quill, a painter, a member of the small force of workmen employed on the new city post office building, missed his footing yesterday and fell from the second story to the basement. The force of the fall was broken by projecting rafters, but the unfortunate man sustained a fracture of the leg and a- number of other bruises. Some of his fellow workmen, who witnessed the accident, rushed to the basement to as- sist the badly injured man, who was re- moved to the Emergency Hospital, where Dr. Church attended him. ————— Discharges at the Navy Yard. The employes of the navy yard are ask- ing the question, “When \will the discharg- ing of men in that place cease?” On the Ist instant about thirty-nine workmen were dismissed, and it is a certainty now that the number of persons employed in the va- rious’ shops is gradually being decreased, and it looks as though in the course of time work in that big government factory will stop altogether. | a The Cattle Market. At the cattie market at the Union stock yards at Benning Tuesday 105 cattle were on the market and fold, as follows: Best, sold from 4c. to 41-4c. per pound; good, sold from 31-2c. to 33-4c. per pound; me- dium, sold from 2 8-4¢. to;3 1-4c. per pound; common, sold from 2c, to 21-2c. per pound. Seven hundred and seventy-seven sheep and lambs on market, and sold as follows: Old sheep, from 21-2c. to 31-4c. per pound; lambs, from 3c. to 41-4c. per pound. Cows with calves, sold from $25 to 450. Market gcod. —_—~—- Free Delivery Post Offices. In regard to the extension of the free de- fivery system, Acting Postmaster General Jones said yesterday: “The extension of the free delivery service to towns has been indefinitely postponed, owing to the fact that the appropriations for the year will not be sufficient to maintain the service in any more towns. If we should extendsit to all the towns that ‘are now asking for it the department would need at least half a millior dollars for that purpose. It will be the policy of the department in the future to confine the extension of the free delivery service to towns which we know will have receipts svfficient to pay the exnenses.” DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. The Alley Not Dangerous. Relative to the complaint of Wm. E. Dubant of 410 M street to the Commission- ers some time ago calling attention to the obstruction of the aliey in square 514, be- tween 4th and 5th streets and New York avenue and M street northwest, the health officer today reported to the Commissioners that the condition of this alley is not dan- serous to public health and there is no rea- son why it should become so. He further States that, while the change suggested would be a convenience, he is not able to certify that it is necessary for public health. Want Their Accounts Settled. The Commissioners today received a com- munication from W: J. C. Dulany Com- pany, booksellers of No, 8 Baltimore street, East Baltimore, calling attention to the fact that they have accounts rendered and receipted against the District aggregating $9,515.84, part of which (the smaiier part) is for supplies furnished in July. The letter states that the company very much dislike to make complaints, but in view of the fact that they buy for cash and make their bids very close to cost, they are subject to loss when their accounts remain so long unpaid. Concluding, the letter reads: “We understand the difficulty is shortage of clerical force, which I respectfully sub- mit is not to our mind a good and sufficient reason for any delay in paying large or small account: Appointments. The Commissioners today appointed J. Morrill Chamberlin as cashier in the office of the eollector of taxes, with compensation ut the rate of $1,800, vice John W. Daniels. Albert Shaw and Henry W. Williams have beens appointed additional privates of the metropolitan police force for three years, for duty at the Baltimore and Potomac depot, to serve without compensation from the Disirict. A North Capitol Street Hearing. The Commissioners gave a hearing this morning to citizens protesting against the opening of North Capitol street. Two pro- tests were reccived by the Commissioners from Annie E. Barbour and Wm. F. Mat- tingly & Son, attorneys for the. Prospect Hill cemetery, Annie E. Barbour takes her ground for the reason, among others, that ‘the land has already been condemned and damages awarded to ner, the judgment of the court for which is still subsisting. Should said judgment be vacated she will claim damages for all her land’ which may be taken and for all done to what is left by e extension of said street roposed. he Prospect Hill cemetery objects to the extension of North Capitol street through its grounds because it will ruin the ceme- tery, and for the further reason that the land has already been condemned and dam- ages awarded it. The Commissioners have taken the matter under advisement. Want an Engine. Messrs. Daniel and Armat have written a communication to the Commissioners call- ing attention to the urgent needs of a fire engine in that part of the District in which is situated Eckingtop, Brookland, the tholic University and the Soldiers’ Home. The letter states that there are several millict.s of dollars invested in this section in perishable property, and a considerable propertion in frame, and consequently com- bustible, property, and it is their opinion that thé Commissioners will see the neces- sity for prompt service in this section. The Brochland citizens have cailed a mass meet- ing tor purpose of petitioning for an en- e in this section. They have requested the Commissioners to provide for an engine in that vicinity in their estimate for next year. Total Darkness. f C. W. Floeckher of 146 R street north- east, West Eckington, has written to the Commissioners com: ing that Eckington has been in total darkness since Sunday, Sqptcmber 380, He says chat previous to that date Eckington has been lighted at intervais, and then orly till J whi the lights are extinguished.

There is sadness in the ranks of the Py- thian Sisters, due to the fact that the Su- preme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias has rotified the sisterhoods throughout the country that the lady organization must cease to exist as the Pythian Sisters, The official order was recently received by the Pythian Sister lodges of this city. It was Stated that the Supreme Lodge did not ob- ject to the sisterhood existing as a side branch under another name, but no name should be selected that would have a sig- nificance of Pythisnism. The official com- munication feli like a pall upon the mem- bership of the ostracised order, and it oc- casioned much feeling over its receipt. A soothing panacea was, however, susgested in the document, and it was that if the sis- terhood decided to hold together, it could do so under the name of the Rathbone Sis- terhood, after the name of the founder of the order of the Knights of Pythias. The local sisterhoods have, it is said, ag-eed to keep together and accept the name Rathbone Sisters, The ban issued by the Supzeme Lodge af- fects 30,00) members of the Pythian Sis- ters, and from what can be learned from the members of the Washingtcn branches it is believed that the entir> organization will keep intact and become a beneficial or- ganization in itself. A question has arisen that may be a matter of much concern to the new order, and that is, “Will the edict, 4s proiaulgated by the Sup>eme Lodge, per- mit members of the Knights of Pythias to affiliate with the sisterhood, as was the case prior to the action of the superior body.” If this privilege be denied, then the sister- hood will suffer very materially by the withdrawal of a large number of its male members. The situation of affairs is not yet settled, and the ladies ere very much upset by the position that they are in. -_ NO HEADLIGHT. Engine That Killed Cassidy Not Prop- erly Equipped. Coroner Hammett held an inquest yes- terday over the remains of William Cassidy, the old man who was killed on the Long bridge, Tuesday evening, by an Alexandria local train, and the jury heard the evidence of a number of witnesses. There was no one present to claim the body, nor could any one tell where the man had ever lived. He had been seen about the vicinity of the bridge many times, and on the evening of the fatal accident he was walking along the track on his way to the city, with a number of poles on his shoulder. A man on a bicycle came along and called to Cassidy and a young man to get off the track, as they were in danger. The young man left the track, but Cassidy did not heed the warning. Less than two minutes later the train came along and killed him. Although it was after dark when the accident hap- pened, there was no headlight on the en- gine. The engineer saw Cassidy on the track about ten feet ahead of the train, but he could not stop the engine in time to avoid tne accident. The jury discussed the evidence, and five of the members were of the opinion that the railroad company should be censured for failure to have the neadlight on the engine. The sixth man was equally positive that Cassidy’s death was due to his own care- lessness. But he finally signed, under pro- test, the verdict of the other men. The verdict, together with the evidence, will be filed with District Attorney Birney, who thinks it unnecessary to hold another inquest. Death of Mr. George Bauer. Mr. George Bauer, who had been for mary years a well-known and prosperous resident of this city, died last night at 11:30 o'clock at his residence, 227 4 1-2 street southwest.
