senator Hill visited Long Beach lMt night
nJ nrt" the guest of hU former prlTBto secre
tary Timothy B. Williams. He remained over
plclit. anil will return to tho Hotel Nortuandle
tht morning. A despatoh waa received last
night frnm Chicago announcing that Chairman
James K. Jones of the Popoerntlo National
Committee was on his way to New York for tho
purpose of conferring with Senator Hill to
night, "f ntor Hill had a busy day yesterday
at the Hotel Normnndte and at the Manhattan
CluK where he met aoine of his old Democratic
friend . Among these were Lender John C.
flirehnn of Tammany Hall. ex-Lieut.. Gov. Wll.
Ham F. Sheehnn. Chairman James W. Htnkley
of the Democratto State Committee, Mayor
Collin of Klmlra, John B. Stanchfleld. Bernard
J. ork. Chairman of the Kings County Demo
eratlc Organization, and James W. Hldgway.
Later In the day Charles It. DeFreest. clerk of
the Democratlo State Committer, after a visit
to nrooklyn, put In an appearance. He expecta
to visit Senator Murphy at Elberon to-dny.
Maror Francis J. Molloy of Troy, who it ac
knowledged to be tho spokesman of Sonator
Murphy In Ronstelaer county, pasted the day
with unator Murphy. Tho junior Senator of
the State will not attend the Buffalo Conven
tion. He will bo ropretentcd by Mr. Molloy.
Senator Murphy Is In very much better health.
He Is 'till wear., but with continued rest nnd
quiet his physician- say that Ills health will
eventually bo restored. He Is beginning to take
renewed Interest In tho Oemocratlo affairs of
the Stato.
s-enator Hill's mission to New York Is an Im
portant one. He learned n number of things
yesterday. In the first place, be ascertained
that If the Ituffalo Convention, to be held on
Sept, It), endorses llrynn and bewail and the
Chlrago tUtform, the Hon. William F.
Eheshan will, without delay, send bl reslg
catlon as New York's Democratic National
Committeeman to Chairman Jones. Senatur
lllll further learned that Mr. Sheeban.
after looking over the sltnatlon, may find
It to be his duty tn send In this resignation
a few days before the Ituffalo Convention Is
called to order, Senator Hill was Informed that
Mr. sheehan does not wish to take any overt
step until the remits of the Erie onunty Con
ventions are made known, and this will not bo
until Saturday night. It has been reDort d all
along that Mr. Sheehan was to take this step,
but It t not known definitely until yesterday
Just how Mr. Sheeban was to proceed.
This was one of the most unpleasant features
ef new which came to senator Hill. Mr. Shee
ban has alwnys trained side hy side with the
Italor Democratic Senator. He baa been the
warm friend of Senator Murphy alfo. Mr.
Shsshan was a sturdy and vigorous fighter for
tn oreanliatlnn. as controlled by Senator Hilt
and Senator Murphy for ten years. He Las
personally conducted, under tnlr guidance,
tall dozen State campaigns. It was hewho
conducted the Presidential fight In the
Slate under their guidance In 180.'. Itut
Mr. Sbeehan has told tils friends that
he will not dally with the Chicago Repudta'.lon
bts. lles.ilrt that he was not prepared 10 criti
cise tnose who ditlered w 1th litm on the frre-sll-rcr
ques ion or on the Income tax. for the reason
that e believed that those who differed with
him iltil to honestly, nut Mr. Sheehan's friends
;:; iSa: ic.th' r lit n r aiy other -pund.rnivwiy
Detu icrat cou d countenance that clauru In the
Ihteazo Dlalform which proposed to repudiate
la pari the gold-bearing bonds of the nation.
Another matter cam op. and that was that
Sir. Hlaklsy, should the Buffalo Cunventlou en
dorse Bryan and bewail and Ibe Chlcsco plat
ferm. will decline reflection a Chairman of
the tistav rtwc -tato Committee Mr. Hlnkley
dots not tellcre In being compelled tn pui his
1 ands Inio bis oirn pockets to run a campaign.
He tt perfectly aware that If tbo Hulfslo
Convention adopts Hryan and tho Chicago
platform the committer wilt he without
foods. I-Mmuch as Senator Murphy liaa
advocated Ilryan and the Chicago platform.
Mayor .Molloy may he asked to take the Chair-
ruanshlp of the committee, and. In case he
Ires. Mr. De I reest. out of pure loyalty to Sen
ator Murphy, would continue to act as clerk
St the Democratic Mate Committee. In no
t'her ronttnirenry. howeer, will Mr. De Freest
continue to act as clerk of the committee.
Mill another matter of intrrenl came out.
John K. MaiK.hfieM lias been told by hi friends
hat this Is no j ear for him to accept a nomlnn
.iin for (mfernor. and Mr. uncntleld s frleuds
laid jettenlay that he hid concluded not to
a low hit name to go before the Convent lun. If
ht does not change tils inlnci. the nomination
ail co eitl.er to Freder'ck Cook of Itiichestvr.
to i one of the few Germans in the
Mti nho has declared in favor of IIraii and
tho Llneago platform, or to Mayor John ISoyd
"Under nt Alhan). who. while pernonally
known to Loa sound-money man. Is neverlbe
ltar nmnltlous. Mayor Ttiacher has alnajs
leiievril that he should lime the nomlnn
llnn. ine it 'tas denied to him In 1HUJ at bara
tosa. on which ocenslon senator Hill was
hatted. Some of the friends of Mr. Stanch
Htldsald that hn is too good a fellow to be put up
inn nar to lie slaughtered Mr. Cook has got
lone money, and at no l.lme In tbe hlatnr) of
tho la'tr in the Mate will a candidate with
Qny be more necesari than In the forth
coralnic lamjialgn. Mnne Is neeled for tho
rcer..r exiMiiihes. Nr t , fcouiid-money Dem
rat will givt the committee a dollar If the
Cnnteiitlon endorses Brjun and the Chicago
plallcrm.
iriiaicr Hill's mission to New York has been
Ciltuinleralmk in tome quarters. It hasben
iIJ t at liv cemo here loak Tammany and
the kiui: (.ninny Democints not to Insist upon
th eminr.cinent of tlin Chicago platforpi, but
ratler to remain content with endorsing the
baratoga money plank adopted Just bsfuro tho
ew rk delegation started for Clilcaco. Sen
ator Hill's friends bald that any such In
terpretation of his visit to New York ut
th tune was far from the fact, lour
fl.ihsnt thedelegntisto the Ituffalo Convention
have alrrailr been elected. Senator Hill Is not
a customed to wall until after the deiegalesaro
eleurij It-tore taking u hand. On the contrary,
he Ims hren nccustomed to taking a very Impor
tant part In the seleitlonof the delegates to a
htate Contention. Uu has not declared his
courts sIiilu his return from Chicago,
ior the last wiek, and especially In
the last few data while here In New
inrk, he haHbeen on n prospecting tour. He
whl.is to arertain the exact strength of Ilryan
In New York and llrooklyn. Just as he has en
ceauirrd ton-certain the strength of Hrjan In
cthir parts of tlie Slate. Those who aro cry
clu'e 'oSmator Hill explained bis presence In
-iew ork Unit:
" S-nator Hill has not by a single word Ir. an
autbnrltatltu -tatcinent declared whero ho
tend on tho Ilryan ouisllou. He was very tierce
at I lih iign, 1 made a great fight for the :I0II
pond mone) delegates theru. Ho made a great
uvlii to prevent the ste.illng of the Michuran
ijtli mut He told Senator Cockrell at Chicago
that if the Michigan delegates were stolen he
would -ralk out of tho Convention. He did not
oo (,. Ho jii not, nttend the last session
or tbn Chicago Convention, because hewas fear
ful Unit )ie would be tailed upon to make a
ftrech. i Ills was after Hrynn's nomination.
All during the Convention theru bad been
great outcries for him. In his famous speech
when le declared that he was a Democrat and
Bom r-iolutlonlst he was speaking as u mem
Mr o( the minority of the Committee on Iteso
lutl n., uith a full knowledge of what the plat
form contained. In fnct, the platform bail been
read lir'oro the wbole Convention. Neither ho
nor an) other memlwr of tho New York delega
tion, liter thai platform was ndopuu by tho
toiiYi, tmn, participated In the work of the

' I he Democratic Slate organization. Tarn
psny Hull, and the regular nrganlratfnn of
hn us (uunty arc now engaged In u political
fau.b n nenalor lllll has told his friends
"I there is no possibility of electing a

Hn '"lan either ut the polls or In the electoral
Mltic, tlm desiwrate men who forced his noml-
"Hon .it Chicago on that awful platform will
jonilnuoiheflgnt. They will right for another
J?if lears. The theory Is that an ordinary
SJ"rlly against Uryan would mean that
K . I tru ""' not be a Congress which will
I ft through sound-money legislation; that
I she return of prosperity would be de
layed, the old sores for which quack remedies
were prescribed nt Chicago would remain
and the Democratic party would still be con
trolled by Its Populist heretics, and tholr doc
trines would be disseminated as the party creed
for another four) cars with a chance of victory
In 1U0O. The Democratic organisations of the
State of New York and Tammany Hall aud the
Kings nounty machine are holding themselves
In readiness for any uch contingency. The
overwhelming defeat of Ilryan, on the other
hand, would mean the smashing of the machines
In Now York State should the Buffalo Conven
tion endorse Bryan and Sewall.
"That Is tho political gamble In which Sena
tor Hill. John C. Sheohan, Bernard J. York,
and their friends are now .interested. Chalr
mnn Jnnosnn his lslttn New York will give
them the result of tho first canvass made for
Brian In tho routral Western and Nortwestern
Hutu. Chairman Jones Is expected tn tell
exactly and truthfully the situation. At tho
Populist Convention In bt. Louis he cared
nothing whatever for the endorsement
of Sen all. He went there accompanied
by C.ov. Stono of Missouri to bring about the
nomination or endorsement of llrynn. Nol n
Ingle member or the Chicago Convention went
to the Populist Convention at St. Louis tn uplift
hi voice for bewail. Ilrjan Is Interested
In llrjnn, but ho Is aware that If Sewall
were forced oft the ticket at this time
the Buffalo Convention could not endorse
Hran and Watson. One of tho reasons
why Mr. Bryan has not formally accepted the
Populist nomination nt St. Liuls Is heiHiiso he
was flatly told that If he did so the Buffalo Con
vention could not endorse him. But the politi
cal gamble that Is now going nn Is one of tho
met hazardous games of n political nature that
has been played in New York State tn many
yoars."

At.iUMr, Sept. I). The Albany county Demo
crats held their Assembly District Conventions
nnd elested threo delegates and three alternates
In each of the four districts to go to BuOnlo.
All are organization men and all are for free
silver, not for any personal prodllectlon for
cither tho issue or the candidates, but because
tho endorsement of the Chicago ticket and
platform Is the present policy of the organt7a
tlnn. The delegates do not vn with positive
Inst ructions, except In the Third district, but
each district convention adopted a resolution
similar to this :
frsoJirrt. That the Democratic pirty of the Tnird
Assembly district nt Allwiny cniinlv hesrtlly rdor.ca
the National Democrvlc platform allotted tit the
Chicago Contention, nnd pledges Its earne.t support
to Ilryan anil bewail In the coming national election.
In the Third District Convention, which
chose Senator Hill to head the list of delegates,
this resolution was adopted:
Rf hfl That the delegates of the Third Assembly
district ef Albany roonty b and they are hereby In
strut. ted to vote for the endorsement ot the Chicago
plitrorm and tbe candidates, Dran and Sewall.
It was reported to-night that this resolution
mlirht lead to the refusal of Senator Hill to at
tend the Convention as a delegate, as be Is op
posed to helng lhu specifically Instructed.
A peculiar feature of all tho four Conventions
was that the candidacy of John Boyd Timelier
for the Gubernatorial nomination was not rec
ognized In anv manner, and tbe Albany delega
tion iro to Buffalo without a candidate.
The Important men of the delegation are
Senator David B. IIIII. Chairman Norton Cha.o
of the County and City Committee. Internal
Revenne Collector Louis W. Pratt, State Com
mitteeman John Bnwe, former Excise Clerk
Lawrence T. Fassett. former County Clerk
Iteqna, former Superintendent of the Peniten

and Mobsrly. He is due toarrhe in BU Louis

Will reach Baltimore that evening.
It Is his Intention to make speeches in Dela

ber ot the Notification Committee of thu Sliver

Mr Bryants known to have rocelved n com
munication from Mr. Sevrall, nnd it Is thought
to have an important bearing on the question as
to whether the Populist Vlce-Presldonlial can
didate is to remain on the ticket.
The fact that Mr. Sewall did not come to Lin
coln to receive thu silver notification Is con
strued as an Indication that he Is soon to with
draw. In fact the opinion was freely expressed
by Ignatius Donnelly nnd other prominent Pop
ulists who were here yrsteidav and to-day that
Mr. Sewall will retire before the election is held
tn Maine. Mr. Br) an will not dlscnas the mat
ter for publication, but he has assured his
friends that Sewall will stick.
Nebraska Populists are wondering If Mr.
Bryan Is to give no consideration to Nebraska
other than his speeches in this city. 1 he candi
date's present plans do not go beyond Oct. 1. but
It is not thought that ho will return to Nebraska
until the latter part of October. The Populists
are very anxious to hav e the candidate speak In
the western part of the stale. Tbe only assur.
ancrs he his given them is that he will probably
pass through the State on the svay to the coast,

SpniNGFirt.n, Ky.. Sept. 0. This town for
forty-elgbt hours has been under a guanl of
nrmed men. Last n'ght at every entrance to
tbe city there were stationed determined citi
zens sworn in as deputy sheriTs, whoso orders
were to stop all comers, and unless they were
known or could explain their business to tba
satisfaction of the guanl to prevent them from
entering. That the situation Is considered
senlous is indicated not only by tho presence of
the heavy guard, hnt by the fact that the
County Judge carries with him a lu-bore shot
gun In addition to tbe men actively on duty as
guards, thoro is a reserve guard who slept last
night on tholr arm' to answer an agreed slcnal,
which they alono knew and which they refusid
to dlnclose. A countersign was given out Inst
night. "Iulsvllle" wan tho watchword, and
b giving it a man could push tho guards un
questioned. The reason for these extraordinary precau
tions is that a band of Incendiary vVhlte Caps
have thre-vtened to burn the town and actually
undertook to do solast week. They set tiro to a
largo tobneco facmrv. which was destrojed.
They also terrorized the country by tearing up
all tho tailgates nn the turnpikes. Mobs of
masked men went around every night last week
and did this work. At one place the keeper.
Alex. Wells, fired upon tun inon and drove them
away, wounding one man and lelrg slightly
wounded In return,
Tho tnu.eof the lawlessness was the refusal
of tho llscsl court tn derlaro free all turnpikes
In the county In which tin muntv owns the ma
jority of the stock. There are about yilU miles
of such pikes in tho count), and only about
forty miles of nlke w hlch are owned exclusively
by private corpo-atlons. Hecently the llscal
court appointed n committee to ascertain iv hat
it would cost t he county to nunhaso these, road".
Thecommlttee reported Inst wiek that about j

ordered by tho magistrates comimslng the Ducal
court, to he held with tho general election In
November, for the purp ire of ts.ulng bonds for
this purpose. A two. thirds vole will bo neces- i
sary to legnllro the proposed bond Issue. At the '
same meeting the court decided that until that

matter of freeing the other roads The country
people refused to unit on the law and deter

" I've No Idea of flatting Or the Ticket,"

list candidate for Vice-President, was here last
night. To a reporter tie Bald:
"I hate come nil the way from Georgia to
fight any deal that the Popullits may attempt
with th Hopubllcans of Texas. If fusion Is
effected between Hepubllcans and Populists,
the rank and fllo will never submit; the poli
tician cannot deliver the Populist party."
Watson lamented the Indifference ot Bryan
toward the Populists, without whoso votes, ho
said. Bryan cannot bo elected. Ho was bitter
against Sewall, and declared that Sewall would
be forced off the ticket; thnt there waa a per
fect understanding to that affect between him
and Chairman Jones,
niMUM BATS BO, TOO.
Indianapolis, Sept. Ih The headquarter of
the National Democratic party will be removed
either to thj Victoria Hotel or the Palmer
House, Chicago, within the coming week or ten
days. W. D. Bynum, the National Chairman,
returned from Chicago this morning. He will
remain In Indianapolis until Saturday, wlion he
will gu to Louisville to be present at tbe notifi
cation of Pulmer and Buckner. Nothing ha
been beard from Gen. Palmer about the pro
posed short Southern tour, but It Is bellored that
he will accept the proposition.
Mr. Bynum said this morning:
" It was said that Chairman Jones had been
conducting a somewhat virulent correspondence
with Mr. Sewall. in an effort to secure his with
drawal tn order that tho Populist nominee,
Watson, may have the field clear. It Is believed
that such a proceeding would fortify the Demu
list ticket In the South. But Mr. Bryan
crosses the pathway of Mr. Jones at this Junc
ture and demands that Mr. Sewall remnln on
the ticket until after the New York Conv entlon,
so that State will be moro apt to endorse the
Chicago ticket."
Mr. Bynum believe that Immediately after
the New York Slate Convention Mr. Sewnll will
remove his name from before tbe public so far
as being a Vice-Presidential nominee Is con
cerned. Tho first unsolicited contribution to the third
party campaign came this morning from Mis
sissippi. It wus a draft forJIOO. c

Bath, Me., Sept. 0. Arthur Sewall came
down to the Bath National Bank, of which he
is President, for an hour this afternoon, and
while there discussed the political situation for
n few minutes with The Sl'N correspondent.
Mr. Sewall said he had no desire to be Inter
viewed, tie has not given out any Interviews,
and only one statcmeut of bis position, that
which was given TilK sirs recently.
"That covered the wholo ground," said Mr.
bewail. "1 have no Idea of getting off the ticket,
and I do not i-ee that I could if I would. There
is really nulhing to add to my statement as
given out."
It was lutlmated to Mr. bewail that ho might
rflvu .tuu .:.;c.-c'-t!n: IcC-rmntiun iu to his
relations wltli the National Committee, which
lime In en variously pictured. Hewehrhed tbe
idea before answering and said.
"My relations with the committee are pleas
ant. 1 am tatistled with them. My relations
with Mr. llrynn are also pleasant. I hear from
him frequently. He Is tn be In Boston thnUAth,
you know."
Mr. bewail was asked If ho would Join Mr.
Bryan In Boston, and replied that ho could not
i-ny at this time w hether he would or not. The
talk drlftid around to Mr. bewall's letter to Mr.
Bryan, which tbe National Committee pub
lished. "That letter was written nearly two month
ago," said Mr Sewall, "The committee bad a
right to print It, It gave my sentiments then,
and they have not chunked."
Hefercnce was mode to Tom Watson's attacks
on Mr. Sewall. The candidate, smiled and said:
"Let him talk. 1 have nothing to say In
reply. He may make sliver votes, and that will
help things. I am more interested in silver
votes than tu bewail votes."
Mr. bewail was asked If ho cared to make an
estimate of tho vote In Maine on Monday.
"I do not euro to glvo figures,'' he said. "Of
course there will bo u substantial Hepuhllcan
plurality. It Is to Ims expected, with the re
sources of the Republican party In the State.
With tho speakers and money, it would be
strange If they don't have n good plurality.
"I am satisfied with tbe showing the silver
Idea will make In Maine. Three months ago
there wero not 5,000 silver votes in Maine. If
we poll fiO.000, and that la a conservative esti
mate, it will show a tremendous gain for silver,
greater, as I wrote a friend to-day, than tbe
proportionate sliver gain In any oilier Slate In
the country.
"Our State organization has done splondld
work on tho stump In spite of the difficulties
with which it has had to contend. I shall not
consider tho Itepnbllcan voto a blow to sliver.
The silver vote of Maine will speak for Itself."

turn when a man with a long white beard ap.
peared. The stairway was so narrow thnt this $g
man and Hllderbrandt had to turn.sidewnys to
pass each other. They passed three steps from '-JjJ
the top. and tbe moment they passed a second 3P
man turned out of tho Unto landing, whipped $?
out a revolver, and jammed It up against 111- "ih
derbrandl'a head, at tho same time saying: J;
" Don't you dare move, or I'll blow a bolo Into f
you!" &
Hllderbrandt had his money in two small. -y,
flat cigar boxes. The hills woro In one. and tho ?,
gold nnd sllvor tn the other. Each box was dona M.
up In manlla paper and wus tied with a string.
The bank book and checks wero not wrapped M
up. Hllderbrandt held them tightly squeezed
between the two boxes. Ho w as going to y ell for 4i
help w hen he felt tbe muzzle of the rev olv cr.
"Don't you dare move, or I'll blow a hole Into vjS
youl" repeated the man with the revolver, J
Then he snld, " Get those boxes." and the mini p!
with the long beard, who had stopped on ilia -$S
step below, grabbe-d the boxes and wen, down jjg.'
the steps three nt a time nnd out ot the door. ;
His hal flew off as he was going out ml lie j

houso had heard Hllderbrnndt'scrv and rushed ,J
nut Into the hall, screaming at the top of their sjr
lungs. But they saw the revolver, ami none of M
them went to Hllderbrandt's a'd. The clerk .jS

"Murder!" Over and over on the floor the pair Ti
rolled, kicking, scritchlnir. -cud ciuw ing for just

his feet and boiled for the door. Hlldorbrandt J-
wasn't an instant after him, nnd grabbed him 1
again Just as the door was opened. They reeled $
out into iho street In each other's arms. In tho ' JS
mtddlo of the sidewalk the thief broko loo-e fft
agniu nnd raised his revolver. There was a
chorus of scresms, and tbe passers by turoed 'M
and fled like a lot of sheep. -3
Policeman Owen Sullivan was across th (
stroet. near the corner. He dashtil across aud
was almost on the thief nt tho moment thu rev ol- 5
ver was raised. I he thief saw him, and. wheeling- tH
about, aimed at his head. Sullivan thrust his m
right foot between the man's legs, and, with a M
twist, threw him half n dovn leet nvsav. He (S
rushed after Illm and grabbed the pistol tutors ?$
