Tammany Hall flrM It first Run In the tocnl
campaign at the meeting of the General Com
mltteelait night. The btg hall of the Wigwam
m crowded with brave when Chairman Au
gustus W. reter rapped to order. It was no
ticeabl that Mayor Thomas . Ollroy sat In the
front row, In the seat usually occupied by IHch
anl Croker, and It wu ahown tn other way that
he has iiiumed tbe place In the organization
which Mr. Croker resigned In May. Later in
the evening Tollce Juitlce Thomas V. Grady, In
a speech, made the potltlre announcement of
. Mr. Ollroy' accession to the vacant leadership.
The only builnee which the committee had
' been called together for waa to approve tho call
prepared bv the Executive Committee and the
Committee on Organisation for primaries and
nominating convention. These meetings, how
ever, are always made the occasion for speeches,
and an attractive oratorical programme hail
been prepared. After the rail had been tip
provede x-Ctty Chamberlain Thomas C.T. Craln
was In t reduced as the first speaker.
"The enemies of Democracy," he said, "decry
and deny theclvlo virtues of ourcitlrena, while
their plea for power Insult tbe Intelligence of
the community. Unencumbered by political
principle, tho guerrilla adversaries of Democracy
nil the air with charges of local mal-odmlnlstra-tlon.
These charge are falae. They are made
by thcee who crave either notoriety or om.ee.
They are echoed by the misguided and
misinformed. They may confer notori
ety, but they never confer political pow
er. A surely as harvest follow seed
time, so surely shall those who sow scandals
reap defeat. Their promulgation, repetition,
and dissemination mark tothestudont of our
political history the recurring victories of the
Democratlo party. This is natural, because tbey
awaken Inttrtat In publlo matters, lead to scru
tiny of publlo affairs, and promote personal In
vestigation by the voter Into the methods and
principle underlying the administration of our
Government, resulting In his more perfect as
certainment of It honesty and efficiency.
"The Democracy makes no appeal to the peo-
pie based on the plea that the local Government
bus always measured up to the standard of an
lueai perieciiuu. w e ouiu um no nopo tuai it
ever will. We come, saying that we have hon
estly tried to makolt a Government worthy of
so great a city. None but the political charla
tan or visionary would ever profess the capacity
to attain In practice tho highest theoretic, excel
lence, or hold out delusive hopes of Impossible
Improvements. None will deny that evils exist,
to redress which the reformer and philanthropist
should be Incessant In effort. Dot whether so
cial purity I promoted bv the wholesale publi
cation of the secret of vice or crlmo diminished
a Making to bring Into contempt the constltut
authorities, are matUrs at least a to which
men may rightfully differ. One thing, at least,
can be affirmed with certainty, namely, that de
nunciation may be destructive, but It is never
constructive. It may blight reputations and
blast prospect. It can never derate character
ores noble manhood. A. reformer destitute of
than a wind cloud can fructify the desert.
, And yet there are men, foremost to-day in their
reviling, who exhibit a spirit which, had they
lived in the olden time, would have led them to
loosen the very wail of the sanctuary to hurl
tonus at the offending woman.
"Of those who listen to such men we ask do
anyone contend that a Mayor can do more to
promote the welfare of a city than the present
Mayor of New York ha done, or that, under ex
isting laws, he could perfectly eradicate long
existing abuses? If so. let him read Mayor
Hew I tt s letter to the reformers and forever after
hold his peace."
Referring to the character of soma of the
organizations which are seeking the defeat of
Tammany. Mr. Craln said t
" When I go abroad it 1 true I might take a
tramp steamer, but I prefer to go by an estab
lished line. When I vote I can take a candidate
who ha tramped from one organization to
f mother, but, sir, I feel that I express the feel
ugt and purpose of tbe Democrutlo voter when
I say that the old party of Jefferson and liberty,
the party of free speech and a free ballot, tbe
party of unshackled commerce and of light
taxes, the party whose government has made
the rlly of New York the pride of America, is
ttlM ,,.. ,. wKlnh I ...all mt.
" Local, Stats, and national Issues cannot be
divorced tn this contest. This results from the
very form of the official ballot introduced by the
reformers. The ballot that contain the name
of the candidate for Mayor contains the name
of tho candidate for Governor and of the local
candidate for Congress. No large defection from
the Democratic rank from a nominee for Mayor
ran occur without lessening the Democrat vote
in this city for Governor, nor without lessening
in the Congress district in which it take place
the vote of tho pemocratlo nominee for Con
grtsA. Democratlo unity is essential to Demo
cratic success. Democratlo success is essential
to the prosperity of the country."
Mr. Craln spoke of the evidence of partisan
ship manifested by the Republican majority in
the Constitutional Convention as serving to dis
play the Inability of the Republicans to meet
inn Just requirements of the voters of the State.
Mr. Craln wu followed by Police Justloe
Grady, who roused hi audience to enthusiasm
by his sledge-hammer blows directed at Dr.
I'arkhurst and the other reformers who are
w orklng for Tmmny' downfall.
Vo hear a great deal. Just now," said he,
about political bosses, and they are always as
sociated with Tammany IlalL Because n man
Is of such force of character and of such emi
nent ability that he gains the confidence and
respect of the thousands of a great political
organization, and Is looked to for advtre and
counsel, ought he to be railed a boss? Yet
when a man attains that position in Tam
many Hall he Is Immediately dubbed 'Doss.'
'1 here was Iloss Croker applause, and when
wo hod Bos Croker we bwl a quiet, honest, and
efficient public servant In the Mayor's office.
When Mr. Croker laid down the cares of ofttce
lb organization turned to that man In tbe
Mayor ofllce. Now he has become a boss. He
la tbe most hldeou and ugliest of all political
bosses In the ore of the opposition, because he
u the boss at the present time.
"Let us see what a bos really 1. He Is a
man who simply from audacity, the possession
of wealth. or fur some other equally koihI reason,
attempts to dictate to the people what they shall

who Imaitlne that the masses of the common

rrpt their wealth to administer the affairs of
the city at the expone of the Democracy." ,
Ppeaklng of the texow Investigation of the
I'olke Department and tho attempts In saddle
nil tho Irregularities discovered on tho Tarn
many organization, Justice Grady called atten
tion to the fact that there was a very great differ
rnre butwecu ofllclnl and tiersonal corruption.
Hesald that thn police ofllcer who accepted a
bribe or extorted blackmail furnished only an
einmple of personal corruption, and that
his act rould not be elm reed to the no
count of the municipal admlnlsMatlon or the
IKilltlcnlorganlfHtlon In control of that ndmln
"trntlon. To Illustrate the difference between
nfllrlal and tiersonal corruption he gave two It
lustration'). The first was the attempted pay
fient by Killtor Goilkln of tho I'milnj J'uti of a
S bill to Ofllcer Connolly of tbe Jefferson Mar
et Court squad when that officer went to arrest
Mr, Uodktn on is warrant fur libel Issued by
Justice Grady.
. "Supposing Officer Connolly had accepted that
bill of Kdltor Oodkln," raid Justice Grady,
"what a howl would hare been raised by the re
fofinrrs, and wouldn't Mr. Godkln havo been n
witness before the Iexow Committee to tell of
that particular rase nf Tammany corrup
tion? I have lieen buying the Kventoj
J'ikC ever since this Investigation has
been going on, with tbe hope that I
may see in Its colums some time a statement
f rum Mr. Gudkln to the effect that while the
rest of the mllco force may be knaves and
thieves. Bernard Connolly Is not of that class,
because the editor tried to bribe htm and failed."
Mr. Grady had to resort to a supposititious
case for his Illustration of official corruption.
"Supposing." said he, "one of these mer
chants who violated the taw continually and
paid tho police that they might be undisturbed
In their violation, should have gone to the Mayor
and complained of tho extortion of tho police,
and the Mayor had failed or refused
to do everything In his power to re
move or to punish the guilty party, then
might thn administration bo held accountable
for the corrupt practices complained of! then
might tbe organization be Justly held to account.
Hut there Is no evidence that anything of this
sort was done. It Is assnmed that because these
abuses existed their existence should have been
known to the organization and to the Adminis
tration. Mich Is nut the rase, but when the Ad
fulfilstrntlon was Informed of their existence It
ost no time In rectifying the abuse and punish
lng tho guilty parties.
''Why should Tammany Hall be held respon
sible for the abuses In the Police Department?
This same corruption was charged and proved
In 1873. when Tammany Hall didn't hold an
ofllce under the city Government. The same
personal corruption In the Police Department
was revealed In the Investigation by the Hoose
v elt Committees when Tammany cannot be said
to have been responsible. Do not bo decotved
by this hypocritical cant over an old sore which
the reformers are trying to make you believe a
recent wound."
Mr. Grady said that the attempt of there
formers to divorce politics from city affairs ts a
Keet gospel to the man who think he 1 a little
tter than his party; but he trusted that no
Tammany man would forget that he was a
Democrat- He (aid that the Republicans never
laid down their partisanship, but that they car
ried It even within the precinct of the Conven
tion called to remodel the organlo law of tho
State.

portionment, old boy.' we hear the Republican
partisan cry. And Joe answers back: 'Trjut
me. When I can put In a stroke for the G. O. P.
I will.' Laughter.
"The only vvny to improve the political affair
of any community." continued Justice Grady,
" Is to keep the power in the hands of the people
and bold the political parties responsible. The
day bos not come for us to weaken In our
devotion to the ancient Institution of
Tammany Hall. Tho abuse and misrepresenta
tion to which It ban been and Is being subjected

WjiSHINOTO-t, Sept. 14. Gen. Schofleld has
completed a plan for the reassignment of In
fantry and cavalry regiment, which will
probably be announced to the army to
morrow. The order will be one of the
most Important announcements coming from
the department this year, and contem
plates not only the transfer of n number of
troops to the vicinity of tho large commercial
cities, but the abandonment of a numbr of
smaller posts, wbloh have become of little use
with the close of the Indian troubles. David's
Island, New York, which bos been advanced
to a regular army post from a rendez
vous station, will have as Its garrison
several companies of the Seventeenth Infantry,
now at Fort Itiibsell. Wyoming, the remainder
of tho regiment, with the Colonel and staff,
being transferred to Columbus Barracks. Ohio.
Plattsburgh, which lias become a post In the
past few years, will be garrisoned by the Twenty-first
Infantry, now at Fort Niagara, New
York, and the only cavalry station lu the East,
at Fort Meyer. Just across the river from Wash
ington, Is to bo made headquarters of the Sixth
Cavalry, which for tho past four years has been
stationed at Fort Niobrara, Nebraska. This
regiment, under Col. Gordon, has been In ramp
near Chicago since tho strike troubles, and will
come Kast immediately. Four trooiw of cav
alry, one of which belongs tn a colored regiment,
will all return to their respective regiments.
There are several other regiment, principally
Infantry, which will be affected In the changes,
but care is being taken by the officials to prevent
this being known, flncethoexperiences through
which the army passed during the recent rail
road strikes, the authorities have had It In
mind tn station more of the troops near the
large cities and manufacturing and mining
regions than they have maintained In
tho past. Moreover, this step Is msde
iirarttcahle by the cesation of Indian hostilities
n the post few years and the progress of frontier
Indians towarl civilization, so that tbn troops
are not needed throughout the West In such
number a In the past. While the general
trndency of the change will be to bring the
troop eastward, It is thought that attention
will he given to the records of sundry companies
and officers, nud that some of those who have
seen service at undesirable posts will In. trans,
ferreil to pleasanter quarters, their lihu-os to lie
tilled by troops who have been enjoying tho easy
berths of the service.

Quite a number nf the men were not In full

IiKXINUTOSf, Ky., Kept. 14. The Ashland dis
trict Is at fever heat to-night. To-morrow the
Democratlo primary to nominate n candidate
for Congress will be held, and Col. lireckln
ridge's fate will be decided. The tlirte candi
dates for the nomination are W. C. I. Breckin
ridge, W, C. Owens, and Evan E. Settle.
The greatest alarm tins been mused by the
report from both tho Owens and the Breckin
ridge headquarters that hundreds of men,
secretly armed, will be at each polling place In
this city to-morrow for the purposo of protect
ing their respective challenges. It Is announced
that the Breckinridge election officers will deny
a ballot to every voter whoso affiliation with the
Democratic party Is not well established, or who
refuses to pledge his support to the nominee.
To overcome tho loss from this source the
Owens organizers declare their Intention of
challenging every Brecklnrldgo mau who ap
proaches tbe polls, and thus, by delaying the
election, they propose to force their opponents
to be fair. The result of these counter purposes
will be to cause tho most dangerous ronfuslon
to-morrow, and there are grave fears of riot In
Lexington. The Mayor to-dny, by proclama
tion, ordered all saloons to be cloned during the
primary, and an extra force of police will bu on
duty at every point where trouble Is expected.
The booths havo been erected and thn ap
proaches to each voting place will bo guarded
by a long rntllng which will icrm!t only otie
man to pass at n time.
Tho betting to-night Is largely In favor of
Oweus. At the I'litrulx Hotel 7Jl) Is posted to
bo wagered against $300 that Ilreckbirldge will
be defeated, and the odds where the betting ele
ment congregate are 13 to 10 on Owens.
II Is apparent on the eve of batllo that while
tho Breckinridge managers have the organiza
tion and all the powerful machinery or tho
party, the Owen leaders havo the great mases
Sfthe people and the financial strength of the
lstrlct. Money Is being raised in generous
quantities to bo used against Breckinridge to
morrow. One young lady In Lexington to-day
raised 500 by personal canvassing among the
wealthy women of the city.
Mr. France K. Hunt, President of the Wo
man' Association, has lieen the most prominent
worker in the crusade ngnlnst Breckinridge. She
makes a statement to-night:
"Our cause Is won nud the victory tickings to
tue women or mevsiuanu uisinci. iiieyjiave
saved their State from dishonor. The Breckin
ridge campaign will never be forgotten In Ken
tucky, and tho sons and daughters of this gener
ation will recall tho remarkable events as Illus
trating the power of honest womanhood."
An illustration of the feeling throughout the
district Is given In this story, which was told by
a well-known Kentucky gentleman this morn
ing: Col. Zcko Cloy, tho famous Kentucky
horseman, resides In Bourbon county, Ky.. near
I'arts. He has taken an active Interest In tho
oampalgn at homo, and Is In fact a leader of the
Owens faction. The feeling has run so high In
the county that men who have been friends and
neighbors for a lifetime are now at sword -.'points.
A few evenings ago Col. Clay made the emphntlo
declaration that blood would flow If bis vole was
challenged at tho primaries, and he was asked
to make oath to support tho nominee. Capt,
H rods haw Is a lending citizen of the county, and
lives In Paris, He Is que of the Breckinridge
Judge Of election, and Is expected to challenge
(Hay' vote. He was Informed of Clay's state
ment. It I said now that be has taken nut
$10,000 Insurance on his life, and Is engaged tn
straightening up his business affairs, so that
whatever happens ha will be prepared,
Col. Zcke Clay Is a wealthy and influential
man, and Is a brother of CasslusM. Clay, Jr.,
now candidate for Governor of Kentucky. He
belongs to a family of lighters, and Is a nephew
of Casslus M. Clay. Sr.. ex-Mlnlster to Russia.
Capt. Bradshaw Is a well-to-do farmer, and Is
Mild to bu tioeseesed of an unusual amount uf
grit,
A conference wo held hero lato this after
noon by the friend of Mr. Owens, and a state
ment was given out over his signature bitterly
denouncing the Brcuklnridge Interview In
which It was alleged that Owen was elected
from a Louisville hotel, and that ho Intended to
remain In Chicago and run a gambling house
until he found nut that Breckinridge was in
trouble with the Pollard woman and there
would probably be a chance to defeat htm.
Owens says:
"The charge that I have been In the habit of
gaming with intoxicated young men; that I en
gaged In games with such young men In nnlrr
to take advantage of them; that my board bill
and expenses were ever paid by another, are all
nlisotutely fulse. I hav m. recollection of hav
ing any conversation with Col. R. K. Edson In
Ghlcago. and I am free to sav that his affidavit
bears all the evidence nf being tho product of
pressure as that of Elliott, who backed up
Breckinridge's statement that I was ejected
from a Louisville hotel,"
Owens assured his friends that Breckinridge
Is attempting to bring dishonor upon hi name
at the last moment when It Is too late for him
to bring proof.
The city Is full of people tn-nlght to witness
the closing of the campaign here by Breckin
ridge and Owens. The Breckinridge forces
turned out with a big procetslou, and the Colonel
and some of hi friends spoke from the Court
House steps, while Mr. Owens and his friends
occupied the Opera House, Settle closed his
campaign at Owcnlon, the county seuinf his
home county. There Is a grratdealof betting
going on at two to one against Brecklnrldgo.
A large number of women in. t here this
morning at tho Opera House nud decided to
upend the day and to-morrow in a Issly praying
for the defeat of Ilreckbirldge. The minister
will meet with them.

She rile It Oji Iter llnnuhtn-.ta.ttiw and
nn Mrs. Day,
A sequel to the scene growing out nf the Johnson-Day
wedding of Inst June, took place at
Itldgewood, N, J a few days ago. Mrs. John I).
Miller hod objected to the marriage of her miii,
James Johnson, to Miss Amelia Day, daughter
of James It, Day, tho slock broker who was
killed by a trolley car In Patersnn In April.
Mr. Johnson Is a son of Mrs. Miller by her
first husband, who Is now an Inmate of
an Insane asylum, and from whom she Is di
vorced. Her present husband, John B. Miller, Is
a brother-in-law of the late Jay Gould. About
a year ago Mr. Miller, who was a resident of
Blnghsmton, bought the residence of Actor
Joseph Jefferson at Hohokus, where the Millers
now reside,
Mrs. Miller's bitter opposition to her son's
marriage to Amelia Day caused a sensation lu
Rtdgcwood, Her personal dislike of Mrs. Day
amounted to a positive manls. In April Mrs.
Miller quarrelled with her son regard
ing his attentions 'to Miss Day, and
he left home becni'so Ills mother called
the young woman a simpleton. Her opposition
to Miss Day as a daughter-in-law was based,
Mrs. Miller said, upon her mental Inferiority to
her son. She denounced Mrs. Day, mother of
the bride, ns a scheming matchmaker.
On June 20 Miss Day and Mr. Johnson were
privately married at the? home of the bride. The
newly married couple illd not take the trouble
to tell Mrs. Miller of tho ceremony, but left
Itldgewood the following morning.
Mrs. Miller then discovered that tho marriage
had taken place, and early that morning the
residents of uulet Prospect, street wcro startled
by a great commotion at the door of the Day
mansion. . . , -. .i,

kiu seen endeavoring to force herself Into the
house, accompanying the process with loud ami
deep exclamation against the mistress of the
bouse. Mrs. Day railed brervuut and barri
caded thu door and windows.
When Mrs. Miller found that she was unable
to gain au entrance rite retired for a while, but
renew ed thu attack a few hours later, Mrs. Day
was forced to call In .lustlce Wall. Constable
Ackerman, and Special Policeman Campbell for
protection. ....
Justice Wall, by th exerclso of diplomacy,
succeeded In getting Mrs. Miller away, but not
until she had damaged the dour and smashed e
A few week ago Mr. Johnson returned to
Itldgewood and took up quarters at the Herbert
HoUse. The town folk anticipated more trouble.
and presently a hurricane was brewing, it swept
tho town with scandal this week.
.Mrs. Day and her daughter, now Mrs. John
son, are In the habit of taking afternoon drives
In a dogcart behind a sleek white pony, given
to the bride by her brother as a Christ
mas gift. Ono afternoon Mils week while
they were driving along on Pleasant ovenue
Mrs. Day espied Mrs. Miller coming up the rood
behind them, Mrs. Day lashed Iho sleek pony
furiously to urgo It on, and told her daughter
that her unwilling mother-in-law was
driving lwhlnd. Mm. Day wns anxious
to get out of the way and avoid
trouble. Mrs. Sillier was then some distance
nwny In a vehlclo known In Hldgewood as a
trap. When she caught sight of -Mrs. Day and
the newly wedded Mrs. Johnson she clutched
her coachman by the arm and exclaimed:
" Drive like mod. and overtake ; those people."
The man declined, and Mrs. Miller Is rejwrted
to have said: .... , ,
"If you don't do as I bid you, you scoundrel,
I'll discharge you." ... ,,
The coachman still declined to obey Mrs. Mil
Irr's orders. She finally Jumped up. grasped
tho whip, and struck the horse repeatedly, so
It soon overtook the sleek pony. When the ve
hicle were abreast of each other, Mrs. Miller
grabbed the left rein. and. whipping her horse,
crowded the pony cart against the feuce on the
roadside. , . , .
With the whip still firmly gnrsped he leaned
over and rained blow after blow upon Mrs. Day
and her daughter. Mr. Pay's face wa bruised
and Mr. Johnson wa"nt- oer thesye. Mr.
MUler accompanied each oi with an emphatic
expression of her (Valines Jov.ird tho women.
Mrs. Miller's ooochmsn finally pulled the horse
buck Into the road and started at a flying gait
for Hnhokua. , ,. m ,
Mrs. Day has begun a suit for damages for a
large sum. but Mr. Johnson is apparently not
going to seek pecuniary redress. What action
Mr. Johnson will take Is not evident and Is a
matter of much curiosity. .....
.Mr. Miller ha apparently not Interfered In
any manner. He l-eare a strong resemblance to
.lay Gould. Mia Helen Gould's middle name Is
Miller, after her mother.
11EJI COAL JIVXKEBB ABLAZE.

Captain aad Crew were Aaaloea.
The steamship Capac, belonging to W. R.
Grace A Co., arrived yesterday from Chili.
When thn ship wo about 600 miles north of
tho Falkland Islands fire was reported In the
midship bunker, which contained about R00
tons of coal. Capt. Thomas ordered the men to
run a line of boso and turn tho water Into the
blazing bunker. This served to subdue the Are
slightly, but the volume of water forced nut the
coal go In great clouds that almost suffocated
the men. The Are, however, could not tie satis
factorily controlled for three days, but then the
coal apparently wu nut, so the men ceased work.
On tbe night of Aug. 14 the Are began rging
again. This time It proved too much for Capt,
Thomas and lit crew and ate It way through
the floor of thn bunker, Masses of coal and
ashes dropped Into the bilge. This choked up
tho bilge pumps which hail been kept working
to pump nut of the hold the water that was being
thrown Into the bunker. Matters became des
perate, and Capt. Thomas determined to head
for Rio Janeiro, The cargo nf the Canas con
sisted principally nf nitrate nf soda packed In
bags, and its inflammable nature mado the Are
n serious affair. There was constant fear that
th" flames would bum through the bulkheads
and set fire to the nitrate.
The tlum of greatest anxiety was on the night
nf Aug. Ill, when it seemed that the nitrate
must soon catch, ('apt. Thomas ordered all the
llfelKials provisioned and swung from their
davits clear of the steamship's sides. The crew
work rd untiringly, ami when, on the mnrnlngof
tho 17th. Rio Janeiro harbor wns seen, tho
flames had lieen decidedly rhrcked and thereat
danger lesKticd. When Rio Jnnelro was reached
firemen from the city went to the help of the
almost exhausted rrew. Men were lowered Into
thn hunker to remove the coal, but owlnglntho
gas they cmiM worn out a lew minute at a
time, and the tasx occupied almost a dav.
When several hundred tons hail lieen taken nut
tho seat of the Are was readied and speedily
put out. The rause of the Are Is supposed tn

greatly damaged.

Again tho fleet American liner New York has
mado ft new record. Sho arrived here last even
ing, having made the voyage from Southampton
In Uday 7 hour nnd 14 minutes, and lies ting
by 1 hour nnd 24 minutes the liest previous
record, which wns her own, nnd was (I days 8
hours and AH minutes, iniide on Aug. 24, When
the Now York made n record un her Inst west
ern voyage Copt. John ('. Jamison, while Justly
proud of what his shlphnd accomplished, said
he felt sure she could dn better, and this vnvnge,
whlrh Is her twenty-fourth westward, lis ful
filled the prophecy,
" I told you so," ho said last night, " and what's
more, she can still further lower the record. We
had nine hours of fog last Tuesday, and at Hie
reduced speed nt which we were forced to run
we made only 4 HO knots on that day: otherwise
another hour might hnvo been clipped from the
record."
The New York left Soul lmmpton n week ago
to-day, passing the Needle Hock at 1 :4ll o'clock
III the afternoon, and passed Sandy Hook yes
terday at 4:110 o'clock. The total distance she
covered was M.047 knots, mado up of dally runs
of 457, 407. 4H0, 404, f.12, 6tfi, and II?. That
the record was to lie broken was not known to
the officers of the ship until Thursday, when she
reeled uff,"12 knots. Then Capt. Jamison began
figuring over what bad been done and It was de
termined to push tho ship for all she was worth
from that time. Tho following day she mode
her greatest run on this voyage.
Her hourly average of speed was 20.10 knots.
This exceeds the average mode on her last trip,
as that was 10.08. The weather enrountend by
the New York was, with the exception of a fog,
favorable to record breaking. Th day she left
Southampton a moderate breeze waa blowing,
and tho next day the ship rode through a west
erly swell, which greatly Increased on the 10th
and lashed Itself Into a rough bead sea on the
11th. From that time on tho weather was ideal.
On Sept- 11 the Lucania wu sighted at 4:4.1 P.
31. in latitude 48 1.1' north, longltudo 40 IVi'
west. She was bound east and was fifty miles
northward of her regular course Those nboard
the New York have now accounted for this In
the record tho Lucania mado yesterday.
An entertainment wo given In aid of various
seamen's relief societies In this country and
England. Chaunccy M. Depcw was Chairman
of tho entertainment, which consisted of vocal
and Instrumental music, recitations, and
sleight-of-hand exhibitions. Those who took
part were Lady Agnes do Trsfford, Miss II. de
Trafford, Mr. W. F. Whltwell. Mr. Thomas
Whlffen, Miss A- Uauglitcn, M. Schuster. Mr.
R. S. Lucas, Miss Rtsley, and Iird Hawke.
Pilot Frank Kelley was picked up at 3:33
P. M. on Thursday. Tho New York was off Flro
Island at 1:60. and after passing the Highland
nnd Sandy Hook went Into Quarantine atS:S0.
There she wo detained but six minute, and
then the lost stretch of water between her and
her dock was a matter of but a short time. At
the American line pier several hundred people
hod gathered, and as the steamship waa warped
into her dock handkerchiefs fluttered on all
sides. Three-quarters of an hour later the pas
sengers began swarming over tho gangplank.
Hear Ad mlraj Henry Erben, who tint II his recent
retirement had been for some time In command
of our European squadron, was one of the pas
sengers. He Is n bluff, hearty man, whose face
is tanned by the sea.
"Did any member of your staff come over

" Humph 1 Oh, yes, my cook and steward."
" Wo uny one else with you?"
"Yes, Potter, my flag Lieutenant. Potter

" Bod condition, sir I Not a bit of It. No better

lean line officials said that record breaking was
not half so much to the passenger as being able
to leave the pier quickly after the arrival of the
steamer. Last night was tho fourth Friday
upon which a record-making steamship ha
come to this port. The Paris made a record by
docking Friday, the Camiutnla has also done so.
and this is the second time the New York has
docked on that day.
Of the other lines running to Southampton the

record of tl days 11 hours and 44 minutes, madu

When the Vessel rilrark. (he Meet.
Tho attention of Dr. Cook of the Greenland
excursion party was called lost night to a state
ment by Prof. W. C. Wright of Oberlin Collego
to the effect that nearly all tbe sailors were
drunk when tho Miranda sank, nnd that tho
reef on which she struck was plainly marked on
the chart. Dr. Cook said:
"I am positive none of tho crew was Intox
icated at the tlmo of the accident. Two weeks
afterward, however, when we wero out In tho
open sea 'and decided to abandon the Miranda,
the crew, who wcro tho last to lenve tbe ship, got
bold of what liquor was left In her. You know
a sailor, under thoso conditions, values whiskey
more than money, and they got away with con
siderable of It. Whllu they wero Intoxicated,
nobody was so helpless a to be unable to take
caruof himself,
" With regard to tho statement that the reef
was plainly marked nn tho charts we hail, I can
only say that that Is nn error. We used the
charts of the United States Hydrograpblo Office
and the British Admiralty charts. If the reef
nail oeen marxeu on medians we would not
have met with the accident. The only chart
that do give the position nf the reef are tho
Danish charts, owned by the Danish Trading
Company. We did not have these, unfortunate
ly, and Miat Is why the accident occurred, I did
not have anything to do with the management
of th crew.''

continues to cause trouble among tho settlers of 'ananasa!
the beautiful Plattu country. The district Is BBaaaaaaal
most dellglittnl country, well watered and tlm H
berrd with Alio forest. For years It has been H
occupied solely by cattlemen having large herd H
roaming over the grassy mesa and In th
pretty valleys. Of more recent years many set- fl
lers have located homesteads along the water ,
courses, nnd tbctr farms aru now becoming well
tilled, while their homes are surrounded by 1
young orchards of peach, and apple trees. -H
Into this country the sheepmen of Utah hav ' 'LLI
steadily and persistently mod their way, large V
flocks of sheep being secretly led by wild trail ;H
Into tho upper plateau country, where they ''asouanl
fatten rapidly, Tho cattlemen and ranchmen iaH
have tried all means possible to oust these sheep VaaBnananai
men, but havo failed to rid tho district of these H
nulmats, which destroy alt vegetation and .
IKilUtu Iho mountain streams. ' nBaaaaaBai
Tho most recent attempt to causo the shery-
men trouble occurred on last Tuesday, when a JjH
baud of supposed cattlemen quietly surrounded H
two flocks uf sheep, driving una over the Book H
Cliffs to their death upon the rocks at the hot- ilH
torn of the cation, and slaughtering the other vH
flock In a corral. Reports as to tho number killed B
vary from 3,600 to 6,000. Ono sheep herder wm - H
seriously wounded In defending the flock under ',M
his charge, and now blood poisoning has let tn ' sanananafl
and he will die. ''sBaaaaaBai
The sheepmon oro now under arms, guarding ' H
every avenue of Ingress and egress to the pi- ' H
t4S.il. They hope to capturo the marauders or 'H
attack them should they seek to return to finish H
their work, as they threatened to do when they . i B
departed. A party of hunters yesterday went JaanBanH
Into tho plateau country In search of deer, and 'tnaananananl
were held up by the sheepmon before they i'B
reached the toD of tho first bench. Thy were 'naaaaaBaH
ordered to get back to the valley. It 1 under. 'bIbbbbbbbI
stood that about one hundred men are there, IbIbbbbbbT'
awaiting orders to attack the cattlemen. VbbbbbbH
Sheriff Ware of Garfield county returned last
night from the scene of the butchery to Rifle H
station on the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. bbbbbbbbbI
Ho said that the sheep killers had been tracked ' 'H
and that some arrests will be mode tn a day or .H
two. Tho herders say that they will be able to bbbbbbbbbI
recognize thn men, though they wore rude cloth 'bbbbbbbbbb
masks. It Is generally believed that the attack- 'H
lng parties camo from Garfield and Mesa coun- H
tics, as their trail from the scene of slaughter H
led down Roan Creek. In all probability the v bbbbbbbbbb
killers made good their escape and will be able 'tBBBBBBal
to avoid nrrest. None of the settlers will care 'H
to assist the officers to track them. Some of the sbbbbbbbbR
sheep men aro also settlers, but their business bbbbbbbH
places them under the ban of all others. There bbbbbbbbP
will probably be no open flght. There seems to t H
be no way to effect a permanent settlement of bbbbbbbbI'i
the warfare until tho sheepmen seek other pa. bbbbbbbW
turcs or go out of business. H
