HILL DOESN'T WANT JONES ANY MOPE.
Governor Hill, lt ls sad, does not rt*s|? t-1 havo
? Jones of Binghamton," sometimes called "Edward
I". Jones.? renoinljiaied far Lieutenant Governor.
General Jones ls too Independent a man to bfl liked
by David It. Hill. " Jones pays th* might" on bl?
own goods, but he objects to forwarding the goods
cf any oilier man. He v.lll not uso his extensive
powers as presiding ot!lc<*r of the Sfalo Senate, to
further Mr. Hill's sr hemes, believing that he has
bl. own reputation to protect. A good many Dem?
ocrats said at tho las- meeting of the Democratic
State Committee that If the Demoeratle party could
swallow Hill they did not see why lt could not
swal'ow Jones. It ls rumored that the Governor's
choice for Lieutenant-Governor ls Senator Jacob
Cantor of New-York, who was his mouthpiece In Ihe
Senate last winter. Mr. Cantor's nomination would
lie an appeal to a young men's sentiment, as ho ls
only thirty-four year*, of a;?.
THE HIGH-LICENSE QFT.STION.
As the Democrats will cast them-rives into he
arms of the lnjuor-dealeis there B a strong move?
ment among thc delegates to the Republican State
Convention to adopt a high licence act, In taking
this step the Republican delegates would only be
filllowlng the exampl** nf the Republican members
of tba Legislature. Tuna years ago the Crosby High
License hill, applying only to New-York t Uv. was
passed by the Republican Legislature and was vetoed
hy Governor mil. A good many Republicans think j
that a political mlstal.o of considerable magnitude j
wai made Iho inceeedlng fall, when tht* action of
the Republican Legislature In passing tho Hlgh
l.icense bill was not unqualifiedly approved in Hie
party platform put forth by the Republican State
Convention. Thero was a dispute about tho niean
InK of the plank whieh deprived the Republican
party of tire* advaatage it would have derived If lt
had be-.'i, beyond question mic approving high Hannan.
But, nevertheless, when the Legislature of 1888 nut
lt was evident that than wat. a considerable incieas.*
of high-license sentiment among tho Bepubllean
member.. Jn 1.-7 they could not make up their
minds to pass u high-license law applicable to the
entire state, and they limited lt ta New-York. Yet
In lS.d they almost unanimously favored a hlgh
hcenso law covering the whole Stalo, and showed
their sincerity by passing a bill with that provision.
The measure, as is well known, was vetoed by Gov?
ernor Hill, and now he ls to be renominated through
Ihe Influence of the )lquor-_oalcrs as a lewaitl Iur
this action.
"The Republican! must adopt a high-license
plink,? said a Republican of Stale renate yesterday,
'or suiter defeat. Not to do _o would lie to give ud
?he light In advance. The Hana-danton and their
friends will all vote for Hill. We shall iheieforc lose
nothing by adop'ing the plank, while, on tho other
hand, we shall gain thousands of temperance Dem
ciats who will not volo for Hill but will vote for our
candidate for Governor if he sta.ds ut. >ti a high-license
plank. ?
LET THE WEIGHTS BE RAISED.
Here and there about the state there ls considerable
talk about the OaMNBSlaaal nominations New-York
has thirty-four Congressmen, but lt cannot be sall that
ihe ls proud of her delegation. The rotation si-teni
of making nominations ls responsible for Ihe small
weight thc delegation has In Bm BBM8 of 1'epresent

has rarely had a man In the Sanaa of Representatives
of late gaari who has trained much prominence before*

as distinguished from the Free trade view, boldly advo?

Rawlins, Wyo., Aug. in.-The epstbound t'nlot
Pacific passenger train avas attach'-! carly this mom
Ing by robbers at a water tank two miles ea_t o
Dana station. The engineer, Bieeze, was oiling hi!
engine and Fireman Wallen was giving the englnr
arater from the tank, when tine" men rushed np am
cried out: "Hold up your hands, you
-1" The engineer did so and the fireman Jumper:
down from thc tender and was shot, as soon as lu
struck ths ground, in the right arm.
In the uirantluie, a constant fire was kept up on thc
train by some of the r..lil.crs concealed by the dark
ness. The front brakeman, William Tillman, when
told to hillel up his hands did so when the order was
repeated. He was standing on the step, of the engine
at the time. Ills lantern dropped and he was ordered
to pick lt up again. He stooped down to do so and
at the same (Imo gtaspel a lump of coal, with which
he smashed the robber la the face, staggering him
bnekwnrd. Then he Jumped on him and a desjierafe
hand-to-hand conflict took place, both men rolling
down the cinder bank Into the track ditch. The
"nrakcinan was finally shot In the arm and through the
hip, splintering the bone, thc bullet, a forty-five
calibre, passing out.
When thfl rot ne? found they were foiled they
abandoned the attack and fled. The passengers were
uninjured. A posse of men mounted on fle?t horses
and well armed left Pan lins on a special train for
Dana, led by Deputy Sheriff Hanks. They struck the
trail of the robbers a mlle and a half north of the
scene of the attack. Tho camp of the robbers was
found. Their horses wire newly shod and the trail
was easy to follow. The brakeman's cap was found
200 yards south of tho tank, dropped there by the
robbers In order to mislead Hie pursuit.
Five htindre.l dollars a head for the robbers, d'-arl
or alive, ls altered by Um Cnlon Pacific Company and

THEIR PILGRIMAGE TO GLOT PESTER
THEY WENT FOR DRINKS AND LEFT THE TOWN
FILLED WITH EMPTY BARRELS.
Philadelphia, Aug. IB (Sp?|al,.-Tbe threatening
weather did nut deter thousands of men and women
from paying their weekly visit to Gloucester. They
all apparently went for whiskey and l_*er, and In this
their wishes wero fully satisfied. The taverns weir
open both front and rear, and the sales were large.
In the afternoon the clouds cleared away and before
night there were upward of 30,000 rhlladelphlan.. on
the beach. The merry-go-rounds and numerous
games wero In full blast, and even the score of men
who pay ?.. a week for s|x feet of space with " lung
testers," did a thriving business. The pavilions
were crowded and without regnnrl to age fhe owner of
a five-cent piece could ger a glass of beer for tho
asking.
It was perhapi the best day Gloucester has had this
year, arni before the crowd! h-gan to diminish tho
empty barrels were stacked In huge piles outside the
taverns. lt wan estimated that upward of HOD bar
rub of beer bari been sold, together with a large ijiuu
tlfv of "hard stuff." The crowds were In tho main
orderly. This was In a manner marlo compulsory by
the ISO special policemen who ran all drunken men
and women ami disturbers to the boats and sent them
to Philadelphia.

tents.
Mr. Camp had returned recently from a trip tc
i Palestine, which had occupied several years. Hr
| went there, us far as could lie learned hist night,
without any definite object in view, except tc
-ce ihe many places of interest in the Holy Land
nnd to continue his theological studies.
Mr. Cnnp was born and brought up in Newark,
where his family had long occupied a. prominent
position socially. He was forty-six years old.
was never married and lived with an only sister,
who, like himself, had never been married. They
occupied the old Camp hom'stead, where both were
born and where their farber had lived for many
years. The dead minister had never been in
charge of any church in Newark, but, had fre?
quently preached in the city and had, after he
had entered the ministry, occupied tomporanly
nearly every Presbyterian pulpit in Newark. For
the last four weeks Mr. Camp had been sulTer
ing greatly from acute melancholia
and his disease was so .evere in its effects that
nt times, from his itTBWfl actions, it was thought
that his mind was permanently disordered. It is
supposed that Mr. Crimp killed himself in a partic?
ularly severe attack of his malady, whic.li made
him practically insane, yet it is hoped that tin.
contents of tlie letter which he left, may throw
more deiinite light upon the cause of his deed.

Washington, Aug 1 0.?Explanatory statements
from thc fne-rrade lenders as to lin* " condition
ivhich eonfronrs ns,"1 and which suddenly seems
to have gone back on " BB," are pouring in.
?.rnator Reek, vith his accustomed impetuosity,
aooh-poohs the suggestion that the appropriations
nude, or in conlennee and virtually agreed upon,
ipproaeli within twelve or thirteen million dollars
if thc estimated receipts. Ile proposes io strike
mt from thc estimated expenditures the sinking
und item, on the ground that that provision,
hough authorised by law, is as much .. part of
he surplus os any other excess of receipts over
?x pondi tares. Hut the figures in the hands of
he Speaker an*l of Mr. Holman fully sustain the
ssertion that the appropriation! of the Lth Con
tcss have practically wiped the threatened surplus
or the current year out of existence.
Senator Allison is preparing a statement, whieh
rill bc presented to the Senate in ft few days,
ihieh will let in n flood of light on this surplus
ligbcur. It will probably be demonstrated ns a
act?well known to those who follow the course
f the Treasury and are familiar arith the out
Ninding obligations of the Oovortimont? that if
n nccurnte balance had been struck at any time
ar several years such a balance as any business
ian would insist upon ir. Hu" management of his
rivato affairs', there would have been no such
uormous surplus in the Treasury ns
reasnry figures have claimed. On the
rm tra ry, if n proffer estimate should bo
aken of legitimate outstanding obligations of the
-overnment, and of the honest debts of the Gov
?iiment which have been either postponed or
he iwyment of which has been refused, it would
ppenf that, the inurgin of receipts over e\fK*nd
turps is no greater than prudent business methods
riiuire.
The public has been deceived is this respect
lrgelv on account of the method of stating the
'[?ensury balances and of the inferences that arc
inda Irom those statements. The practice is to
mint rh.' eaah in the Treasury at the end of any
iveu day as the net available surplus. No BO
ount is made in tin* estimates of the demand li
bilities of th*' Government, of tha deferred f>ay
icnts, of the vast sums appropriated arhleh an
emend liabilities Upon th** Treasury at certain
(trioda, or of the amounts required to pap tha
jtitiniiing appropriations, an thor! ted by statules
nd not by appropriation bills, which nre to be
iti-ti.'d by taking the money from tiie Treasury
pon the order <>f the |>r*>|*er ollicers. or of the
irjre amounts requited to pay the bills against
ie Government in preeen of accounting which
re for services and mnteri ? rendered. A state
nit of assets and liabilities clearly showing all
ie demand and deferred liabilities for whieh it
act iiiinta'tile would put a verv different face
pon Ihe surplus- question. The Senate may pcr
ips take measures to hnve such an exhibit made.

D TEE CITY HAS A MAYOR NOW.
MR HEWITT RETURNED LAST NIGHT.
nE WOULD NOT SAY WHETHER HF. WOULD AP?
PEAR REFORE THE SENATE COM?
MITTEE OR NOT.
Mayor Hewitt has brought his vacation to a sudden
lt termlnaUon, and reached hts homo, tn I "xlnglon-ave.,
r. last night. He lett Sharon Springs In the morning
|c by carriage and drovo over to Palatine Bridge to take
(. tbe Cincinnati express train on the New-York Central
t Road at 2:45 p. m. At that station Mr. Hewitt got
,| Into the Wagner palarecar Victoria, and arrived af
_ the Grand Central Station on time at B.M P- m. Thn
? Mayor's own carriage was awaiting him at tho station
and he was driven directly to his house, where he re?
ceived a Tribune reporter a few minutes later. The
' Mayor ls looking well and ls somewhat sunburned
by his ouidoor exercise. He wai cordial In his greet?
ing, but lt did not re pit? the aid of an expert to see
that he was not In the best of humor, owing, un
" doubtodly, to the fact that his summer holiday has
? boen shortened by nearly a week at least. He d e
8 dined to say to what particular came bli unex
r pected return was due. whether to the summons of
_ Senator Fassett's Investigating Committee, the
. singular conduct of President Forster In falling to
. perform the duties of Mayor during his absence, or
j some other reason.
I "I Intend to bo In my place at the CBp Hall In the
- morning,"* Mr. Hewitt .aid, "but whether or not I
shall appear before the Senate Investigating Commit?
tee to-mon-ow, I cannot say." He declined to say
whether he considered his vacation ended or whether
he thought of leaving the city to finish his vacation
after he had given h!i testimony. " I positively re?
fuge,'' ho said, " to answer questions relating to my?
self."
Senator Fassett, In referring to the resumption of
i the Investigation by the Senate Committee, said yes
; fcrday that lt was the Intention to have Mayor Hewitt
testify first. If he came, and afteravard ex Mayor Grace
will be examined. ? I have a telegram here from Mr.
Hewitt,** th" Senator said, " wishing me to put off his
examination until next Iuesday or Wednesday, but lt
will not be with my consent If he does not go upon the
stand In the morning. I am of the opinion that these
men can give testimony of great Importance to the
well being of tho city If they will do so. The question
ll, will they testify all that they know, or only what
sulfa them to givo out? one man can lead a horse
to water but len men cannot make him drink. There
ls nothing magical about the power of an Investigat?
ing committee. ?
In reference to "The Brooklyn Eagle's" statement,
I printed In yesterday's Tribune, involving iho charge
! that William L. Muller had received ?50.000
j from tho Mutual Lifo Insurance Company of New
YorK for obtaining Governor Hill's iignature to the
i act exempting Insurance cemparrl? from certain State
j taxi?, Senator Fassett said that this was only one of
many similar stories which he had heard coming
. from tho Albany lobby during the last winter or two.
! " The air about me has been full of such reports,"
j Mr. Fassett said, "and (he figures are said to run In
[ tho various ras*s from j.5.000 to $.'10,000, according to
value of the different bills. I have been Informed
of one bill that was not signed because the sum de?
manded was nof advanced. I have frequently been
told that the death of John E. Develin was an
unfortunate thing for the Senate Investigation Com?
mittee, as lt had put tho seaJ of secrecy
upon transactions connected with Insurance legisla?
tion which would ho ot an astounding character If
they could be unearthed. The people of New-York
owe lt to themselves to look Into these statements
thoroughly. If they arc true, thero ls a ring nf
corrupt men doing business In this State which will
put tn. Trust rinj In th" shad". If lt ls nor broken
uo. If men ran como to New-York from Albany
with bills passed by th" Legislature in their pockets
and demand a price for having them signed, I think
that lt ls due both to the people and to the Governor
that tho true facts should come out."

Jacksonville, I'la., Aug. 19.-Tho city seems de.
. crted to-day, as few people are seen on th? streets.
There is no further excitement as the new case*
nre reported, but all take it philosophically. Great
efforts arc being made to have Surgeon-Gcncrnl
Hamilton come down and take charge of tho vari?
ous quarantines, as the present ones are exceed*.
ingly vexatious and troublesome to alL The factl
that so few cases are coming out is rn aource of
great encouragement to the citizens now engaged
in fighting the fever. With a continuation of fair
weather, of the work of sanitation and concussion
now in progress, and more thorough and complete
isolation, they hope entirely to rout the disease
nnd be alric to proclaim Jacksonville in perfect].",
healthy condition inside of three or four weeks,
and neither work nor expense will be spared In
accomplishing this much-desired end.
J. M. Mintor, living near tho Grand Cnloa
Hotel, was the only new case yesterday. In re?
gard to Donovan, who died yesterday, lt ls aaidl
thnt, he had heen drinking a good deal lately.
Dr. So-Hacc Mitchell, who has charge of the
Sand Hills Hospital, report., two exceedingly slclg
cases this morning?one, the man Adams, who waa
inken ont from East Jacksonville on Friday after-)
noon. Rut little hope of his recovery is enter*
tained. Adams lived alone in a little house in
the eastern suburb, and on being found he ac?
knowledged that he had heen on a spree from
Saturday until Tuesday night. The impresulon is
that he was tnken down with the fever Wednes?
day morning and remained in thc house alone, un?
attended and without any care until found on
Friday in a critical condition. Mir? Robertson ia
the other patient, who is reported to he danger?
ously ill. It will be remembered that she wag re?
moved from the Grand Union Hotel on the same
night as Donovan.
Orders have been received here closing the
city ticket office of thc Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway till further notice. Mr. Parkhill
will take charge of the ticket office at thc station.
All ihe employes of the company now go out on
a special train every afternoon to the camp af)
Dinsmore, where they have every home comfort
free of charge, and their meals of excellent food,
as good and comfortable ae could he had In town,
furnished at the nominal charge of 15 cents, which
tedii.es their expenses to a minimum.
Over 24,'.'00 was paid out last night bj tho
Sanitary Association for the week's work in
Jacksonville. Beginning again to-morrow, a still
larger force will be put, on, and every endeavor
made to stay the fever's further ravages. Thero
