THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY. Empire State’s “Trooly Loil'" Having a High Old Time at Saratoga. PLUG HATS AND CIGARS PLENTY. A Great Display of Bourbon Prosper- ity on Every Hand—A Lot of Contesta~TI Pro- ceedings, The Democracy at Saratogs, SARATOGA, Sept. 27.—The democracy has possession of the town. Summer visitors Imve flown and the event of the day for everybody. was the vpening session of the democtatic.state convention, which began at noon. The city presented a striking con- trast to the Saratoga of two weeks ago. Then the crowd seemed to bo more or less poverty stricken, and it was openly asserted that the one day convention' was due to that fact. To-day, however, the opposite ‘was the truth. The silk hat, the cigar, the gold watch and chain are everywhere and evidence of money enough and a willingnes: to spend it were apparent on all 8. Two weeks ago not a single band of music ‘was In town except small orchestras as_hotel attractions. Today there are dozens, and the streets are gay with the strains of splen- did marehing organizations. George Raines of Rochester was unani- mously chosen temporary chairman of the conyention. Hisallusions to Hill and Cleve- land were greeted with applause. Somebody called for three cheers for Hill but they were not given, His condemnation of the forelzn {;mprlemrnlll of land and allusion toGGeneral irant were also applauded. The chair ruled that all contests, of which there were a great many, must be referred to the commitwe on credentials, While the committees were being announced a dispatch from the Asso- clated press was read, announcing the fact that the Volunteer was ahead of the Thistle in the yacht race and was gaining every mo- ment. It was greeted with great applause, “':n convention rising and giving three cheers. A resolution was offered as follows: lved, That the laws of nssessment and taxation should be readjusted and reformed 80 that all nrorrly shall rateably share in the support of the vovernment and relieve farming and other kindred pursuits from the disproportionate burdens imj under the present laws, and that national legisla- t10n should be modified and amended that ticultural shall no longer be embarrased or impaired by unwise discrimination. 'he convention then took a resess until 8 o'clock this evening. A 8 p. m. there were not fifty delegates in their places and the convention took a recess until to-morrow at 10 o’clock. There has been much talk of a schism between the Cleveland and Hill men, but if there be any m;vm‘ there are no outward demonstrations ot 1 ——— NOT AFTER THE JUDGESHIP, Denial That Mr. Semmes is Seeking the Appointment. WasniNaToN, Sept. 27.—[Special Tele- gram to the Ber.|—Hon. E. John Eilis, ex- congressman from Louisiana, was asked to- day wnat truth there is in the report that T. . Semmes, of New Orleans, has arrived with & delegation of friends to press his appoint- ament to thebench. He replied: *it is true only in the fact that Mr. Semmes is in thls city. Hels not here with a delezation of friends; hels not here to seo the president; he is not here directly or remotely, in refer- ence to the supreme bench vacancy. Hels here to study and prepare the (iaines case now on appeal to the supreme court and assigned for hearing early in October.” “Have you seen Mr.” Semmes since his arrival?” M *Yes, he was In my ofticejan hour this morning. He strongly deprezates the impres- sion created by the newspapers that he is here seeking the appointment. He has not seen the president, nor will he scek to 860 him either personally or through friends, His view ofaplace on’ the supremne bench 18 the lofty and correct view. The place should seck the man and not the man the man the place. You may say positively that Mr. Semmes visit here Is purely vrivate and professional and for the :mumutmn of u reat case, and if you want to find him, go the law library at the capital at any time between 9 and 4 o'clock. He is too great as ® lawyer and too good as a man and his life 200 busy to be lingoring avout Washington hunting an office.” Postal Changes.

Board to Ba an lmportant O MiNNeAroLIS, Sept. 27.--[Special Tele- gram to the Beg.|—Several of the members of the general co-operative board of the Knizhts of Labor arrived in the city to-day and the otners are exoected to-morrow. The first session of the board will be held at the West hotel to-morrow. Theircoming session will bean important one. On the action of the boara and the ratification of the same by the general assembly largely depends the fu- ture success ot co-operation in America. The board has srranged to bring to Minne- apolis to their meeting the representatives of a great many of the co-operative enterprises from all over the eountr{. This has been done to_give the board a direet insight into the workings of the varlous co-operative Institutious and enable the board to detine a lnfior and more useful ftield for the Knights ot Labor organization. The board will ask the general assembly to repeat that portion of the present law which obstructs the free action of the board and to enact new lezisla: tion giving the board more opportunities to follow the English co-operative plan for the collection and distribution of eo-operative literature. Since the meeting of the interna- tional co-operative congress last June a large amount of correspondence has been received by the secretary of the board asking that the board at this meeting take some action to bring about a meeting of co-operative Inter- osts in the United States and Canada and the establishment of a North American con- gress, Undoubtedly the board will decide to enter into correspoudence with Mrs. fm- ogene C. Fales, president of the American Socialogic society, Prof. Richard Eli, of Johns Hopkins university, and other Pmmi- llmnl advocates of co-operation with this end n view. The l‘_nlhle Must Walk.

The Swamp Eagle Condacts a Oase ia Pollce Uourt. Attorney J. W, Lyons, - better known to fame as the ‘“‘swamp eagle,” had a case 1n the police court yesterday, and for nearly an hour his voice rang 1n the corridors of the jail like the music of a saw-sharpener. His client was Harry Kingsley, who was charged with stealing a valise belonging to 8. A. Conley, & traveling salesman for Peycke Bros., and in honor of the event Lyons atrayed himself in a clean paper collar that shone out resplendent amid the contingent darkness. Lyons demanded a jury trial, and after considerable trouble Officer Whalen secured six good men and true, but fell under the displeasure of the de- fendant'’s attorney by refusing to im- panel a jury from the loafers peering through the screen, With a dignity befitting the occasion, Lyons questioned each juror as closely as though he intended embellishing his future history of this case with an ex- tended biography of each juryman. Mr. Butler, the janitor of the city hall, was deemed disqualified for a juror on the ground that he was in the service of the state and would therefore be prejudiced in_the state’s favor. Mr. Roe was next rejected because he was seen to nod to a policeman who happened to be in the court room. After learning the next juror's name, Patrick R. Sullivan, the at- torney, in a touching fit of lav‘hy, re- marked: “Then you are not the pugilist Sul- livant” **No,"” rapliod the juror, ‘‘but I some- times would hke to be.” Thinking that Mr, Sullivan might be entertaining bellicose notions towards him, down fell the lugnl guillotine and off fell Mr. Sullivan's head. Mr. Maloney, the superintendent of the county poor house, was the next in line. Upon being asked where he resided Mr. Maloney replied, “Atthe poor farm.” That settled it. No pauper was qualified to sit_on ajury. Despite all protesta- tions Lyons kept up_ this wholesale slaughter of jurors until he had reached the limit the law allowed him. The testimony produced showed con- clusively that Kinsley was guilty. Despite” this, however, Lyons arose and commencea his defense with an air that showed his su. preme contempt for evidence and implicit retiance in his powers to sway a jury. He eloquently quoted from a “‘burgullery” case he once lost in the district court, and fiercely charged the prosecution with having blood in its eye in the present case. He spoke con- temptuously of the stolen yalise and con- tents and their being valued at ., re- marking ‘‘great heavens but I'd lke to sell valises at that price.’” He ended his flight of oratory with his charge to the ury, informing them that Judge Berka ad to ‘‘set’’ still in this case and let him (hl;yonn) post them on the law. After a rief spcech by Mr. Davis, the case went to the jury, who returned in about fifteen minutes with a verdict of ‘‘guilty.”” The sentence of tho prisoner was fixed at thirty days, fifteen on bread and water. But nevertheless Mr., Lyons had covered himself with glory. AMUSEMENTS, Mr. and Mra, W. J. Florence in ‘The Flirt" at Boyd's Last Night. ‘The people of this city are most fami- liar with Mr. W. J. (Billy) Florence in a round of characters, among which, noticeably, are those of Bardwell Stote and Pinto Perkins. In each of these, the physical personality of the star is lost be- neath a skillful disguise. In ““The Flirt,” however, Mr. Florence, appears, without that extraneous aid, which so_ continues to destroy indentity and appearsasa gay, happy, irresistible individual who, in his personnel, may well expect un- sought-for conquests of the female heart. But Mr. Florence has a rotundity of form and mechanical vlvacui which do not satisfactorily set off his Sylvestor Sparks, the “Athletic Flirt.” His voice 18 that of Pinto and Stote, though his face, barring its] ruddy, good-nature and rotundity, is the same as when, in years ‘fone by, he was the admired of crowded auditor- fums. Mr. Florence's forte hereafter, as it has lain indeed for some time in the past, depends upon character sketches. In his repertoire he is not without a se- lection from which to draw, neither is he without a character which has not already, in 1ts own way, brought to him fame as well as fortune. Mr. Florence's engagement closes to- nlfi:n, and though he appears in *‘Uncle Bob.' a character which will certainly enable him to satisfy his auditors, the piece is of bat an ephemeral nature, which can ia no way satisfy a people who are bent upon the realism of the stage in so far as that realism can be attained. In Mr. Florence's piece to-night, played for the first time in this city, the star is an uncle of the stereotype torm, said that the characterisone of Mr. Floreneas choicest creations. In the piece last night Mr. Florence's company appeared to better advantage than it did on the opening night and grantly to the satisfaction of the au- ience, ° s “Uncle Bob” to-night. at 3 o'clock ——— Willlams-Rogers. Yesterday afternoon Oscar B. Williams, of this ocity, was married to Miss Alice Rogers, one of the most admirable young women was daughter of Milton Rogers, of this city. The ceremony was performod by Rev. Thomas C. Hall, formerly of the South- west Presbyterian church of this city and now of Chicago, It was performed at the residence of the bride’s parents and was attended only by the immediate rela- tives of the contracting parties. Of the latter, there were not more than eleven couples in attendance, because the in- tent was to confine the ceremony to but a few people. The couple left last night for the east. Fined For Killing a Dog. Thomas McNamara was tried yester- day for shooting William Dahlman’s dog, which bit him so severely on the 20th inst: Attorney Ritchie appeared for the prosecution, but e, MoNamara pleaded in his own defense. 1ln his promises the defendant admitted that he had broken the law, but he maintained 1t was necessary for him to kill the dog, because if ever in the future the dog shonld go mad he, too, would be seized with hydrophobia, as would ull other persons who had ever been bitten by the dog. Mr. McNamara also spoke in ulowinfi' terms of his services in the army, but desvite all these arguments the obdurate jury found him guilty and he was ussessed $14. White-Berlin. The wedding of George Knight White, auditor of the Patrick Land company, and Miss Alwalda Berlin occurred yester- day afternoon at the residence of the bride’s mother, corner of Nineteenth and Davenport streets. Rev. Dean Gardner officiated. Robert Patrick was best man ahd Miss Kinzie was bridesmaid. The affair was a quiet one, only a few friends and relatives of the bride and groom being present.

A recent cable dispatch announced the death, at Paris, of the Duke Canepo Sel- ico, who was described as the hnsband of one of the beautiful daughters of Isaac M. Singer. The duke died of heart dis- ease and was a millionaire. Hardly a twelvemonth passes without the occur- rence of some incident, either foreign or domestic, which recalls memories of the patentee and first manufacturer of the Singer sewing machine, Isaac M. Singer, whose immense wealth and total disre- gard for matrimonial bonds made him notorious on both sides of the Atlantic. Singer was born in Massachusetts, but spent the early part of his life in and around New York City. After obtain- ing his patent K Singer, in order to proteot himiolf lEllll!t Howe associnted himself wit & lawyer named Clarke in:the manufacture of machines. Clarkemanaged the business and in reality made the money for Singer. After the organization in 1853 the style of the tirm was Isaaei M. Singer & Co., Clarke being the copipany. Singer made the most, it not all ef his gigantic fortune between the years of 1853 and 1863, for during the latter year the company was incorporated as theé Singer Manufacturing company, and Singer himself, having been married about four times more than the law allows, sold all of his property, retaining only some;of the stock of the newly organized company and crossing the Atlantic tookfup his residence m England with the one of his five wives with whom he was most impressed at the time. Here Singefdicd in 1873, and liti- gation of his estate of over fifteen million is not yet ended. The wife of the Duke Campo Selice is thought, by Chicago persons who know something of Singer’s history, to be one of the children of the union maintained by Singer aud oune of his wives for ten years in England. Several daughters ot the renowned Singer reside in New York city, and_attract considerable attention through their %mn personal beauty and style, Some three years ago the noted actor Frank C.Bangs,married one ot them, but a sensational separation followed the wedding before the honeymoon was passed,and later on the actor instituted suit for divorce. Some time within a year passed an enterprising newspaper corres- pondent unearthed, as it were, one of Sin- ger's_widows down on the Jersey coast near New York city, where she had been living for years under an assumed name, and having given up all hope of obtain- ing any portion of Singer's estate. A brother of Isaac Singer bas lived in various portions of Illinois for the past ten years. He 1s of a roving nature, however, and chooses farming as his vocation. The brother's name 1s John, and he occasionally comes to Chioago. About a year ago he stepped into the Singer manufacturing agency, on Wa- bash avenue and Jackson street, intro- duced himself to the managers, and after spending a few moments in conversation, disappeared as suddenly as he had come, and has not been heard from since. ——— Millionaire Hearst. Cosmopolitan: Une of the most suo- cessful men on the Pacitic coastis George Hearst,recently elected by the democrats as United States senator from California, Hearst 18 a plain old Missourian, of small education, and no polish of manners. He has spent most of hislife in rongh mining ps. Upon mines and quartz mining his judgment is almost infallible. Since then he has touched nothing which did not turn into gold. He owns the richest mine in Montana; he has valuable mines in Utah, ldaho, Nevada and Mexico. When he began to appear as a power, Hagin and Tevis invited him to become an associate with them. Thus he hus ac ?uimd large intereste in California lanus. 1e is a man slow of speech and of action. He hesitates over s decision, but he can be rapid when the occasion calls for prompt action. Thus he had been nego- tiating fora large Mexican ranch just over the border, which had been allowed to go to ruin because it was on the trail that GGeronimo alwsysinsed when on one of his periodical raidg. Hearst got early intelligenca of the cgpture of the Apache chief and segured the land at about 20 cents an acre. For $300,000 he obtained a body of rich land that 1s worth to-day several millions. Many amusing steries are related of Hearst's peculiarities, but with all his oddities he commends respeot for his honesty and his loyalty to friends, two traits not conspicu among mining millivnaires. His gdnerosity to the dem- ocratic party in Califarnia led to his ele- vation to the senate. He had strong political ambition, but'his advisors have usually been badly sglécted. Thus, when he was placed in nomifjation for governor of Califorma, he made,a speech so full of learned words and florid rhetoric that every one knew it had been written for him. It feil flat, and General Stoneman secured the nomina- tion, But after the rosult was announced Hearst came forward and in simple, plain language declared that he would "'work for the candidate sincerely and faithfully. His speech was the event of the convention, and one of the audience called out: *‘Uncle George, if you had talked that way before the vlmtel;v:ou would have got that nomipa- 100 Senator Hearst's wealth is estimated at $15,000,000 and his income at $80,000 a month. He recently made a present to his only son of a newspaper in San Fran- cisco. The young man has a strong taste for journalism and an, almost unexam- pled opportunity for gratifying it were Neb., for A regular adjourned meeting of the city council was held last evening with President Bechel in the chair, Messrs.
