‘BREAK IN THE SOUTH Gertain Democratic Leaders. ‘NAT G0 90 THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ‘Senator Hill on His Way Back ‘to Albany. WARNER MILLER ON SILVER NEW YORK, April #@—In an interview Upon elections in the south in genera! and ‘elections in South Carolina in particular, Chauncey M. Depew says: “With Wade Hampton and M. C. Butler and the aristo- cratic element that they represent deposed; with the negro disfranchised and with Till- ™an securely seated in power, what me- thod will be taken to secure justice? There is only one place, and that is the national convention. What is more natural than that the better element should appeal to the place that promises relief? What more Ukely than that Wade Hampton, M. C. Butler and other leaders of this class in South Carolina should come knocking at the door of the next republican national convention? I predict it. The only way to secure relief is through the republican party. The solid south is being broken up and Mr. Tillman will be disposed of upon this line of reconstruction.” - Democracy in New York. Senator Hill arrived from Washington last night on his way to Albany. He does not believe thatthe people of New York and Brooklyn are quite ready for consoli- dation,-and he told his friends that be- yond the appointment of a commission un- der the greater New York bill, very little Progress toward the consolidation of the two cities will be made for some years to come. ‘Two republican newspapers, one in New ‘York and one in Philadelphia, give an al- leged program for the reorganization of the emoeratic ‘party im“New York st after this republican legisl&ture adjou: This Program, ‘according to the republican au- thorities, was to be perfected at a dinner of the democratic editors of the state. Senator Hill does not believe that the time is ripe for a reorganization, and that it will be better, to wait. a.couple of months be- fore any positive plan is proposed. He has long believed. that a reorganization was necessary, ie Sepectally, in New York and Kings comaties.. What ‘Warner. Miller Observed. Ex-Senator Warner Miller has recently been in-Chicage.- While there, he says, he Giscovered that therg are many free silver advocates in that part of the country.

Executloz of Chartes Hart in the Ohio Penitentiary. COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 12.—Charles Hart was hanged in the annex of the Ohio Penitentiary at 12:09 this morning for the murder of Ashley and Elsie Good, two children, in Pauiding’ county, November 4, 1804. Hart was an ignorant lad of eigh- teen years. Although he made a confession after his arrest, he made the statement on the gallows: “I am not guilty of this crime.” He was baptized in the Methodist faith before his execution. Ho died without a struggle,and death was pronounced in thir- teen minutes. - Hart, after kiHing Ashley Good, assault- ed Little Bisie, and then cut her throat. He then mutilated both bodies with a corn ser and tried to burn them on a pile of —_—>—_—_ ’ DIED A RICH MAN. Estimate of the Estate of Robert Louis Stevenson. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 12.—Robert Louls Stevenson's estate will probably Prove to be worth between $100,000 and $150,000. Most of this will be from profits from his books, but-a share of it will be from the estate of his father, the famous Might house keeper. The Stevenson place at Samoa consists of 800 acres. Mr. Steven- son might have been worth considerably more, but he kept open house in Samoa. Every needy one was welcome, and in that country it costs a great deal to maintain an establishment, especially when one does not live as the nattves-do, but.in British or American ways. ———— TROOPS WERE CALLED OUT. Disturbance Caused by Riotous Miners at Cincinnati, Iowa. DES MOINES, Iowa, April 12.—The gov- ernor was notified.this morning that the company of the Iowa National Guard at Centreville had been called to Cincinnati, Towa, to quell a disturbance by the miners. ‘All is quiet now and it is believed that one company will be able to control any riotous outbreaks. ‘ pate COULDN'T CARRY HER OUT.

She had come from Ireland about six menths ago. Prof. Kern, her employer, said that he had tried to rescue the girl, but that she fainted and he was unable to carry her. .He left her lying on the floor of the room and gave the alarm to the firemen to rescue her. The dead body of Rosie was found among = debris on the first floor of the build- ng. ——— MASSEY’S ELECTION LIKELY. *Probability of Brenking the Dover Deadlock. DOVER, Del., April 12.—There is a prob- ability that the present deadlock for a U.S. Senator to succeed Anthony J. Higgins will be broken within the next few days. ‘The ground for the prophecy is the state- ment miade today by Senator Hanby, lead- er of the Addicks faction, in which he said that the next U. S. Senator from Delaware -would be George V. Massey, and that he would be chosen within three weeks. —__ COL. DODDS RESCUED. He Had Been Lost in the New Mexico Mountains, SAN ANTONIO, N. M., April 12.—A res- cue party has just arrived, bringing in Col. Dodds, aged eighty-five years, who has been lost in the mountains three days. Col.

NEW BRUNSWICK, WN.

The boys waylaid Mr. erdine on the night of March 27, while he was on his way home, and pummeled him severely because of an attack he made upon their father, Miles Ross, at a politi- oal meeting. THE IMITATIVE RED MAN. Factional Fight in the Six Nations Over Naming a Chief. SYRACUSE, N. Y., April 12.—Delegates from the Onondagua, Cayuga, Mohawk, St. Regis, Oneida and Tuscarora Indians have met in council at the “Lomg house,” at the Onandagua Indian reservation. There were fully one hundred chiefs present, be- sides numbers of warriors, braves,- squawa and papooses. It is the first general coun- cil of the six nations held in seven years. After the selection of chiefs to fill vacan- cles-caused by deaths a factional” fight came between the followers of two Tusca- Tora sachems. One faction desired the se- ection of Daniel Prentup, the other asking for the appointment of David Chew. Sachem La Forte named Chew, and Chief Isaac Patterson of the Tuscaroras, the mest influential Indian of the” tribe, sisted that one of the most sacred of In- dian laws had been violated, the right of the oldest woman in the tribe to name the chief. He also claimed that the election was made on a technicality and was prear- ranged and said that the Tuscaroras would leave the Six Nations in a body and be- come citizens. Chief Sachem Luther W. Jak of the Tus- caroras disclaimed this intention. Patter- son has @ large following, and it is thought that he will carry out his threat. The Senecas have taken sides with the Fatter- son faction. a ONE OF MANY. Mr. Carmody’s Experience With the News-Suppressing Bureau. One of the very best arguments against the secretive methods of the Commission- érs in withholding from the press current news matter was made today by Mr. F. S. Carmody, a prominent builder. Mr. Car- mody is the owner of considerable prop- erty in square 684. Without ever getting notice that it was contemplated to run an alley through that square he received information today that condemnation pro- ceedings had been completed and his prop- erty injured considerably. Immediately upon learning of this he applied to the District Commissioners for information. The Mystic Three were at lunch, and he tried the heads of several departments. They all looked wise and placed their fin- gers to their respective mouths, and said they were sorry, but it was against the Tules of the office to say anything about District business. Mr. Carmody is a busy ‘man, and was considerably nettled at the unnecessary delay. He said to a Star re- porter: “This case of mine shows better than er I have seen advanced the fallacy of passing a le forbidding the newspa- pers from publfShing the news. Before this order was issued the newspapers always gave warning of these things in advance through the news columns. Now I will be put to the expense and trouble of going into court and getting an injunction. Turn on the light and give the newspapers the news which rightly belongs to the public. That's what I say.” ——.+—__—. THE DOSWELL STAKES. They Are Run at St. Asaph’s This Afternoon. ‘The weather took quite a cold turn at St. Asaph today, and it was expected this would have some effect on the attendance, but, contrary to expectations, a large num- ber were on hand. While the card for to- day was a small one, it was made up of good horses, and included the Doswell stakes of $1,000 for three-year-olds and up- ward. The track was in first-class condi- tion.

DEATH ACCIDENTAL Coroner's Jury on the Killing of a Brakeman. anit BY FREIGHT CARS Eye Witnesses Describe the Affair e and How It,Happened. ~. - CAMPBELL’S LAST WORDS An inquest was held this afternoon by Coroner Hammett in Lee’s undertaking es- tablishmeot over the remains of. Charles H. Campbell, the brakeman employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who ‘was crushed under a coal car Wednesday afternoon at 13th street and Maryland ave- nue southwest, and sustained injuries that resulted In death a few hours later, at the Emergency Hospital, where he. had been re- moved. The first witness was Policeman Forrest H. Perks, who saw Campbell when he was lying across the railroad tracks at -13th street and Maryland avenue (AEE He did not see the accident. Charles A. Lansdale stated that Sroue 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, while in his office, near 13th street and Maryland avenue,. he heard groans, and, looking out of a win- dow, saw. ‘Campbell lying on the tracks. ‘Witness telephoned for the ambulance. The coal cars were moving slowly at the time. Some Eye Witnesses. Daisy Clark, a Jittle girl, who was on her way home from school, on the afternoon Campbell was hurt, said that she saw him attempt to mount to the top of a car, when it swddenly jerked, and he fell between the car‘and the one next to It and was crushed. Edna Cumberland, also a school girl, tes- tified that at the time of the occurrence she was about one square distant from the spot where it happened. She saw Campbell ascend to the top of the car and apply the brake, when his foot slipped, the cars came together with a jar, and the man fell, and was crushed beneath the whééls. He cried, ‘“‘My God!” and a moment later was raised by several persons and finally taken away in the ambulance. ‘* Rreilroad Men. Jefferson G. Anderson, the engineer in charge of the engine moving the cars, de- scribed how he was backing into the 13th street freight yard Wednesday afternoon, when he received a signal from the fire- man to stop and hold the engine. He was running slowly at the time. After sfop- ping the witness got out of the cab, and saw that Campbell had been crushed. The fireman on the engine, L. 8. Boyer, told of the signals he received from a brakeman named Dement to stop. He re- peated them to the engineer. Asked to Be Shot. The testimony of the next witness, Geo. J. Dement, differed diametrically from that of Edna Cumberland and Daisy Clark. Mr. Dement, who was but a short distance from Campbell when the accident happen- ed, declared that the latter did not board the car, but was walkmg beside it. As the car approached a stationary car Campbell stepped in front of the moving car to open the coupling. Witness saw him fall and rushed to his assistance. The injured.man said that he had been tripped by a brake beam, and added: “Shopt-~ ‘me, or kill me, to get me out of my misery.” The Chain Broken. W. O. Lynch, a flagman, and E. H. Phil- lips,a ‘conductor, gave unimportant testi- mony, and then the. father of the decedsed stated to,the jury that shortly before’ his demise his son said to him: “Papa, . the railroad company is responsible for this. If the chain on that lever had not ‘been broken I would not have been hurt.” Mr. Campbell explained that on coupling levers there is a chain connecting the lever with the coupling, and on the car under which his son was crushed the chain. de- scribed: was broken. Several of the witnesses stated that the deceased displayed carelessness in attempt- ing to open the coupling of the moving instead of that on the stationary car. ~ This ended the testimony, and the jury, consisting of Wm. A. Hickey, George W. Downs, Jeremiah T. O’Conrell, Thos. F, Halley, Alfred T. Monroe and Manning F. Rue, after considerable deliberation, re- turned a verdict stating the death of Camp- bell to have been the result of accident and exonerating the railroad officials and em- ployes from al blame. ——.__ Naval Movements. ‘The San Francisco arrived at Smyrna yes- terday, and the Charleston arrived at Chee- foo.,The New York, Columbia and San Francisco sailed from Port au Prince yes- terday for Colon, and the Vesuvius left New York for the League Island navy yard. —_——\_-e.____ Virginian Postmaster Appointed. J. A. Reynolds was today appointed post- master at Charlemont, Bedford county, Va., vice W. R. Woodson, resigned. + Poisoning Dogs. Complaint has beeh made to the police of the wholesale poisoning of dogs in the vicinity of Judiciary Square recently, Some one, it is thought, has beéa putting pois- oned meat in the park, where scores of dogs play on the grass every day. Several dogs have died during the past few days, among them being one belonging to Dr. Shaeffer, the druggist, and another belong- ing to Maj. McDowell Carrington. The dog that belonged to the latter was a sctter. This animal died this morning, while an- other of the same kind recovered from the effects of the poison. In addition to the killing of the dogs the affair has caused considerable alarm be- cause the dogs when taken sick have spasms, which give the impression that they are mad. The stomachs of several of the dead dogs have been examined by physicians and found to contain strychnine. —— Charges Desertion. Because of the wife's alleged desertion and infidelity, a divorce was today asked for by John H. Carter from May A. Car- ter. The parties were married in Baltimore, M4., January 15, 1873, and lived together here and there until 1888, when, @he hus- band charges, Mrs. Carter deserted him and committed adultery with various men. —>——__ For Sale and Partition.
