Cardinal Gibbons is made defendant in two damage suits begun yesterday before Judge Phelps in the Baltimore city court. ‘The plaintiffs are Vincent Kabot and his wife, the husband claiming $10,000 damages and the wife $20,C00, for personal injuries she sustained by being ejected from the Polish Holy Rosary Catholic Church. The Kabots belonged to a faction in the church that was opposed to the pastor, Father Barabasz, who was appointed by Cardinal Gibbons, and having refused to abide by the orders of the new pastor were de- barred from the church. They had paid their paw rent in advance, and Mrs. Kabot insisted upon entering. The usker, it is alleged, struck Mrs. Kabot and gushed her down the steps. Then he gave her into the hands of the police and she was taken to the station house. She was very {Il while there, and continued in a dangerous condi- tion after her release. As she was in a delicate condition the injury had serious consequences. Her husband sues for the loss of services of his wife. The cardinal was made defendant, as he is held to have been the author of the trouble, and the ex- clusion of Mrs. Kabot from the church is alleged to have been under his direction. The Wreck of the Democratic Organi- zation. SENATOR HILL'S ROLE OR RUIN GAME The Anti-Snapper Element Joins the Palmer Forces. ——__>—_ TAMMANY UNSETTLED Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, September 20, 1896. After a week of the most complete de- moralization that the democratic state ma- chine has ever seen, a siate ticket is in the field which will probably remain until elec- tion day. The Hill machine is very badly battered, and it is hardly possible to say whether it is worth having or not; but such as it is, Mr. Hill still has his hand on the lever, and is steering it about as he pleases. The reconstruction of the ticket made necessary by the refusal of John Boyd Thacher to stand as the candidate for gov- ernor was one of the most unusual spec- Wilbur F. Porter. tacles ever seen in New York politics. The presidential candidate, Mr. Bryan, and the vice presidential candidate, Mr. Sewall. to- gether with Chairman J. K. Jones of the national popocratic committee; Chairman Charles J. Faulkner of the national con- gressional committee. Senator Arthur P. Gorman of Maryland and the regular dem- ocratic state committee of this state all had a hand tn the proceedings. Mr. Bryan stopped here long enough between speeches to hold a conference at the headquarters and let his wishes be pretty definitely known. Senator Hill iid not partieipate bodily in the conference, but the long-dis- tance telephone, which has been introduced by him of late into the politics of the state, was in fine working order the day the con- ference was held. and the Senator. sitting quietly in his home at Wolfert’s Roost in Albany, engineered the proceedings from a distance of 150 miles. Mr. Thucher’s Experience. It is not known that John Boyd Thacher ever sald it, but a remark has recently been attributed to him which doubtless summarizes his exper:ences as a candidate for governor on the popocratic ticket. As the story goes, Mr. Thacher is said to have made this remark: “James G. Blaine was twenty years in Congress, and the book he wrote to cover the incidents of that period made two volumes. I have been the candl- date for governor on the popocratic ticket for ten days, and if I wrote a book about it, it would make twenty volumes.” Whether Mr. Thacker ever made this NEW YORK’S CHAOS remark makes very littie difference, but it remains true that for the two weeks or so that he was the neminal head of the state ticket he had one of the liveliest times that any candidate for governor in this state ever had. When he consented to take the nomination before he found out what the platform was; when he wrote a letter saying that he was for Bryan and Sewall heart and soul, but repudiated the platform upon which they stood as em- phatically as he did last June; when the state committee tried to drive him off the ticket: when public speakers and news- papers that had been his warmest friends began to call him herd names withont ary regard whether his feelings were hurt or not, and when, finaliy, he told the com- mittee that had come to notify him of his nomination that he would not accent it, he was rapicly acquiring an experience such as 1:0 other man In the state of New Yerk can boast. Utter Demoralization. Thacher's withdrawal left the state or- ganization with very little in its posses- sion except the “O. K.” of Chairman Jcnes as to its regularity. It had no candidate for governor, the prominent men in the party throughout the state with few ex- ceptions had deserted it; it had no money with which to prosecute a campaign, and it had no “boss” whose orders it recog- nized. This last condition, which some think would be a good thing under or- dinary circumstances, was such #n um isual one fer this particular state machine that it. floundered around which way to turn. When it met to complete its ticket it looked as if Elliot Danforth, the chairman of the state committee and a Hryan ran of the pronourced type, would be made the candidate for governor, but Mr. Hill de- cided to do “‘a little lace work.” Mr. Bryan is said to have had very pronounced ideas in favor of Mr. Danforth. Daaforth is one of Lis friends; was a delegate to Chi- cago and presided at the Bryan notifica- tion meeting in this city a month or six weeks ago. It was his idea to become a candidate fer governor “if the call vras made unanimous by the state committee,” and at the same time retain the chairman- ship. Senator Hill didn’t take kinily-to this, and he played a few points of his own. A few of his friends on the com- mittee saw fit not to make the call “unani- mous,” and, not only that, but to avoid any possibe opportunity for Mr. Danferth in this dual role of chairman and candi- date, to obtain too much contfol of the state organization, they proceeded to put Mr. Danferth “on the shelf’ as @ candi- date, make Wilbur F. Porter the candi- date for lieutenant governor, the head of the ticket, and put Frederick C. Schraub in the second place. Mr. Schraub ts prac- tically unknown to fame. He has been a dairy coramissioner up in Lewis courty and a consistent machre democrat for many years. From Republican Counties. Mr. Porter, the head of the ticket, lives in Jefferson county, and Jefferson and Lewis counties adjoin each other. They make up one senatorial district. They are both rock ribbed republtcan counties. The oldest in- habitant cannot remember that they ever went democratic. There has of late been some talk of free silver sentiment in them, and it may have been for this reason ap- propriate that the two candidates should come from the same neighborhood. Thé precise views of Mr. Gorman, Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Jones as to the make-up of the ticket were not expressed for publica- uon. If they had known anything of the details of the politics of this state they would not have selected the two candidates from the heart of the same strong repu- lean locality. They would not have reached down past the heads of such apos- tles of free silver as Sulzer and Danforth and Purroy to draw up and expose to view an unknown man like Mr. Schraub. This, at eny rate, is the belief of most democrats, and for this reason, and because Mr. Hill ‘s rot in sympathy with Bryan, Gorman, Jones and Faulkner in their present campaign, and because Mr. Hill preferred to have can- didates on the ticket who are so perfectly without knowing FREE TO ALL!!

Weather conditions and general forecast —Telegraphic reports have not been receiv- ed from stations outside of Washington. The storm, which was central in Virginia last night, has probably moved to the northeastward, attended by destructive gales on the New England coast, for which warnings were given from one to two days in advance. This storm approached from the south and was central in southern Georgia on the morning of the 29th. Pre- vious to that date it was reported as a West India hurricane, central in the east gulf southwest of Florida on the 28th, south of Florida on the 27th, and south of Cuba on the 26th. Danger signals were displayed on all coast stations from New Orleans eastward and northeastward to Eastport, and ship- ping warned it was not safe to leave port. On account of the absence of reports of the weather conditions existing th’s morning no detailed forecasts can be made. ‘The indications are that the weather will be generally fair tonight and Thursday from New England southwestward to the gulf states.

His program went through because the state committee had trouble enough on hand and evidently did not care to antago- nize Senator Hill any further. To this ex- tent Mr. Hill turned down Mr. Bryan and those of his followers who had come here expecting to put Mr. Danforth at the head of the ticket. The Gold Democrats. It would be hard to imagine a more com- pletely demoralized condition for a party to enter a campaign than the one which exists for the regular democracy. The na- tional democratic party of the state has had {ts convention and has candidates in the field. It has drawn from the “regu- lars” hundreds and thousands of men who have heretofore furnished the sinews of war for democratic campaigns. It has nominated Daniel G. Griffin, who lives in the same city as Mr. Porter, the other democratic candidate for governor, and it Proposes to “carry the war into Africa.” Headquarters have been opened and plans perfected for an organization in every as- sembly district in the state. Subcommit- tees to perfect this organization have been appointed; preparations have been made to nominate candidates in all the congres- sional districts, or, failing in that, to in- dorse only such republican or democratic candidates as repudiate entirely and em- phatically the platform on which Bryan stands and the Buffalo document which indorses it. A state committee has been organized, and under its direction an effort is being made to form Paimer and Buckner clubs all over the state. From the re- ports it has received the state committee has prepared an estimate of the strength it will develop on election day. The chair- man of the committee thinks there wil) not be less than from 200,000 to 250,UU0U votes polled for the third ticket. Anti-Snapper Element. - In this new organization are about all the democrats who took part in what is known as the anti-snapper movement four years ago, and about all the anti-Tammany democrats in New York, the anti-Mc- Loughlin democrats of Brooklyn, the fol- lowers of Mayor Patrick Jerome Gleason of Long Island City, the so-called home rule democracy in Buffalo, a small element of what was formerly the new democracy in Albany, und the “reform” or anti-Murphy democrats in Troy may be counted as supporters of Palmer end Buckner. They are not ouly tor sound money cn general principles, but they take a particular de- light of arraying themselves against the regular machine, to which they have been opposed for years, on the condition less fa- vorable for active fighting than those that are offered this year. In addition to this, Tammany is divided within itself. The Democratic Club of New York city, which is one of the strongholds of the party, by a considerabie majority, refused to indorse the attitude of the “regulars” at Buffalo. The very foundations of Tammany itself are being shaken. In one assembly dis- trict of this city, namely, the twenty-first, a Tammany club numbering about three hundred, which has been the regular Tam- many headquarters for that assembly dis- trict, is so badly split over the question of Bryan and Fis platform that nobody can tell which side will control. The matter is coming up in a day or so, when a reso- lution 18 to be presented defining the at- titude o: the club in the campaign. What- ever may be the decision of the majority, resignations by wholesale are predicted. This is but one of the instances in the city. es THE GRAND ARMY CAMPAIGNERS.

A stand had been erected in front of the Grand Hotel on the Bayliss Park side of the street and a monster mass meeting was held there from 9 to 11 o'clock. The party was turned over to the Nebraska state cen- tral committee. Thousands of school chil- dren swelled the crowd.

FALLS CHURCH, Vay, September 30, 1896. Judge W. B. Fleming of Washington ad- dressed a good-sized audience at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall here last night, ‘considering the inclemency of the weather, The meeting was held under the auspices of the Bryan and Sewall Club, the firstof a series of meetings to be held by the club during the campaign. Judge Fleming was introduced by the president of tho, club, Mr. Arthur I. Flagg, and tn-his speech was very severe on the trusts and comijines-of {fe country, v.hich, he said, were sapping the Very life blood of the peoj He saig. they must be broken up or,the country was ruined. This, saia he, “4s the paramount issue of the campaign: All the millionaires were getting together, leavirg the old parties. Thirty thcusand men own one-half. of all the wealth of the nation, and they got it by sharp financial jugglery, not by work, as the laboring people earn their moncy. These peuple bought bonds just after the war, and they were payable in greenbacks, but they secured a law to make them pa: ble in coin, and wiile they are rolling in their wealth the laboring classes are still baying the interest on them. It is a ques- nm of the people against the million- aires. Which shall govern? They are spending millions on tras election, and are endeavoring to purchase tre voters cf th country. Bribery and corruption are rif Employers are threatening their employe: and a spirit of cvercion is abroad. ‘The avestion of the day is, can the American people be bought?

The debtor is being crushed, his very home is in dan- Ser; times are gettng harder. The con- traction of the currency is the cause of all this.” He explained the money ques- tion, and said his party was in favor of placing the gold and silver side by side. A defaced gold coin could be taken to the mint now and restamped, and it was all right. This could not be done with silver. He wanted silver put on an equality with gold in this respect. Money was only val- uable for what it could be exchanged for and depended in value upon demand and supply. The more money in the country the more things were worth; less money means low prices. The republicans wanted the gold mines to have u monopoly, while he wanted the silver mines opened to com- pete with the gold mines, peaking of che tariff, he said we had McKinley tariff law for fotir years, aa ae must judge the future by the experience of the past. When this law went into op- eration we had a surplus of two hundred and twenty million, but the revenues grew less each year the law was in force, until it lacked seventy millions of meeting ex- penditures. It was a dead failure, so far as raising revenue went, one-half of all the bustness failures occurred under it, all the strikes throughou: the country took place’ while {t was in force, riots and blood- shed were rampant. “Look at the ‘great Homestead strike,” safd he. “More than one mililon seven hundred thousand labor- ing people were thrown out of employment during the four years, and there was a con- gtant conflict between labor and capital. We want no more of ft. Wethad a conflict years ago between brave mén, the blue and the gray.

A broken axle under a freight engine caused a small wreck on the B. and O. on the seventeen-mile grade. Another freight wreck occurred at Garrett, Pa., on the Pittsburg division of the Baltimore and Ohio, forty miles from Cumberland. A number of cars were demolished and the track was ruined. A wreck, in which fif- teen freight cars were piled up occurred on the B. and O. near Grafton. The track which was torn up by the big wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio at Brady's Station was not restored until noon yesterday.

Sanger’s Proposed Method of Classification. Reports recel by the Secretary of War from off of the inspector general's department show that the best results are not being obtained from the present sys- tem of detailing army officers as instruc- tors at cclleges and educational institu- tions generally, owing mainly to the al- leged lack of concerted action on the part ef the faculties. At many of the insti- tutions there is a wide difference of opin- ion existing as to the advisability of hav- ing a military course, and wherever this is the case the officers have encountered much difficulty in their work. As the detail of sueh men is gratuitous on the part of the government, the War Department ex- sects that at schools where its officers are igned the military course must be kept up to a high stendard. It is represented that at some of the leading institutions a majority of the facul- ty do not care to have so much time de- voted to military work as army officers require in order to make the course prof- itable, and wherever there is a difference of opinion the school gains little from the instruction. Maj. Sanger’x Report. One of the principal reports is the one submitted by Major Jos. P. Sanger, who makes radical recommendations for an im- provement of the system. He proposes a cation of all institutions to which officers have been or may hereafter be ordercd. The classification suggested by him is: First cl: all institutions con- rted on a strictly military these known officially as military acad- second class, all agricultural col- third, fourth’ and fifth classes, all other institutions. He proposes the rangement of an order of merit, mired by the inspectors, and the reports of the military professors on the basis of the West Point Acadet He says it is important that a military instructor have the corlial and unanimous suppert of college faculties, based on the utility of military instruction as beneficial. the opposition of one or two professor provokes ill-feeling and establishes a “us about which the malcontents of a may rally. As far as practicable, the administration of the battalion and companies should con- form to the practice of the army. As to the matter of discipline in colleges, a Wide diversity is stated to exist. In some of the institutions the cadets are only un- der military restraint while at drill or in the recitation room. At other colleges the army officer is in charge of college d pline generally, and cadets are under m control not only at drill, but when are in barracks during study hours. Whatever the system enforced may be, it seems to be the general view of college professors that the bearing of cadets who stand well in the military department is more acceptable at ali times than those who do not receive military instruction. CHIEF ENGINEER ARTHUR. He Will Vote and Use Hix Personal Influence for McKinicy. Special Dispatch to The Evening tar. CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 30.—A silent but potent factor in the present campaign is Mr. P. M. Arthur, grand chief engineer cf the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engireers. He is at the head of one of the largest labor organizations ! the world, and by reason of his position has refused to take any active part in the con- test. He has, however, just announced intention of voting and using his per- scnal influence in favor of the republican neminee. “I am supporting Maj. McKinl. said Mr. Artrur, “because I believe in the St. Louis platform. I wish to see him clected, but it is not my place to talk politics. I shouli be glad to tell just why I velieve it would benefit the majerity of the people if the republican nomince triumphs, but such a course would not be the part of wisdom for me. While I expect to vote and use my personal influence for McKinley, officially I have nothing to say on politics.” Chief Arthur is one of the most cor- servative of the heads of any branch of organized labor. and the men under his jurisdiction are the best organized of any associated in America. It has always teen a conspicuous fact that an utterance of any kind from Mr. Arthur has a remark- able influence in the ranks of organized labor. a Opening of Adler's. The formal opening of Adler's big four- in-one store, at the corner of 7th street and Massachusetts avenue northwest, drew large crowds of admiring visitors, who warmly praised the enterprise of Mr. Ad- ler in producing one of the handsomest stores in Washington. The exterior of the building is pure white, and the interior is finished in gold and white. It has a front- age of 85 feet, with a depth 6f 100. The main sales room on the first floor contains 8.500 square feet of surface. The store ie lighted by electricity and gas. The arc lamps were furnished by Kennedy & Duperow; the immense triple-plate glass show cases came from Reinle Bros. & Sal- mon, Baltimore, and the ornamental col- umns and girders from White of this city. W. H. Veerhoff furnished the paperhang- ings and decorations, Geo. Siebert the painting and gilding, Viehman & Son the tlie setting, and the whole was under the supervision of W. E. Carr, the contractor. esis Land for the Gettysburg Fick The United States government yester- day filed a petition in the United States circuit court in Philadelphia, asking, in behalf of the United States, to have con- demned five additional tracts of land in Cumberland township, Adams county, Pa., needed in preserving the Gettysburg bat- tlefield. —__—____+-e +__-_____ Challenge to Secretary Carlisle.
