Couple Tim Start at Night for rurl.
CnEiuiouno, Oct. 6. The Czar and Czarina
arrived hero from Portsmouth. Englnnd, at ".
o'clock this afternoon and had a frantto ovation
from tho Immenso crowds that hail nsscmbltd
near tho Ilasstn ilu Commerce, the Avant Port,
anil tho quajs In that neighborhood. Tho
weather was stormy throughout tho night, and
early tlila morning tho rain was falling heavily.
This had a bad effect on tho many beautiful
j decorations, but did not dampen tho cnthusl
'( Mm of the multitude, which, armed with urn-
f brella. early sought points of vantage from
' which they could not bo drlvon by stress of
' Weather.
1 Along tho routo from tho Qual dol'Anclon
Arsenal, which fronts tho eastorn side of tho
I Avant I'ort, to tho railway station wero num.
', berlcss Venetian malts, which presented a hand-
some sight last night, but which this morning
X looked somewhat bedraggled, after having been
exposed to the storm. Manr of them wero blown
T. down by a heay squall which struck hero dur
( lng tho night, and a largo forco of workmon
il was put at work early this morning to replaco
U them as far as possible.
8 All night long thousands of persons of all
I ages and conditions tlockod Into tho town from
I all parts of tho Interior, and the trains arriving
I this morning brought thousands more Tho
S streets wero literally packed, but tho crowds
wero very ordorly and extromcly good-natured.
Every ono appeared to bo anxious to show
tit friendship for tho great ally of Franco, and as
I 1 tho hour approathod that had boen llxed for
I 1 tho Cxar's arrival, feverish expectancy could
i) bo seen written on tho faces of tho thousands
mil that wero closs to the water front. Tho eastern
liWu Vond western attics and tho glacis at the en
Hl ?tranco to tho Avant Port were black with
I humanity, Nonobut favored Individuals, how
I I over, were allowed on these places, for from
ll ' them the first and best views of tho approach
Mi lng naval procession could ba had, and the
ll yacht Polar fatar, bearing the Czar and Czarina
II and their suites, passod up to tho Quai da
MsT l'Anclcn Arsenal through tho two Jetties. Largo
- numbers of gendarmes wero every whera
ft",vuMf,nt, but they had no dllllculty in keeping
K f '"the crowds wero perfectly tractable.
0LW -"a still galo was blowing outside tho harbor
all the morning, and a very high sea was run
t nlng, which made tho crossing of tho Channel a
most unpleasant experience for those not used
to sea ''".ages. It was recalled that tho Czar
was tA:y good 6allor. ho bav lug made a voy
age almost aro'und the world while ho was
Czare witch: but much sympathy was expressed
for tho Czarina, who. In addition to being In
"" delicate health, la unused to sea voyages. A
r storm signal was flj lng on the breakwater, and
altogether the weather conditions wero most
Inauspicious.
i At 8 o'clock tho French northern squadron
left tho roadstead and headed across the Chan
nel for the purpose of meeting tho Russian
yachts and British war ships accompanying
them. Tho squadron was reCnforced by wnr
,-, ships sent from Rochefort and Brest. They all
,J jLi proceeded to about tho middle of the Channel.
Wl where they drew up la line and awaited the
fjLcomlnir ft the Czar.
axia-boA noon Blgnals on tho breakwater an
.'. xtonnccd that thj Polar Star had been sightod,
t and tho pent-up enthusiasm of the crowd broke
1 forth In a mighty cheT. Prior to this, how
ever, tho crowd know .ne yacht was approach
ing, for there bad been faintly hoard tho deep
booming of tho guns from tho French and
British war ships as they met off shore.
As the vessels aporoached the breakwater the
Polar Star was seen to bo making hea y w eather
of it, sometimes pitching almost bows under.
Despite this, as tbe yacht pasod Into the har
bor past tho breakwater the Czar was Been
standing on tho bridge, wrapped in a storm
proof cloak. ....
As tho Polar Star passed In tho forti on tho
breakwater thundered forth an imperial salute,
and the crowds ashore broke forth In wild
cheering. Tho war ships passed ahead of the
' yacht In the harbor and ranged themselves in
ln lines, through which the Polar Star steamed
alowly to tbe Qua! do l'Anclen Arsenal, followed
. by the Standart. As the Polar bear passed tho
'-' bands on tho French war ships played the Rus
sian national nnthem. Tho Russian standard
was flying at tho heads of their foremasts.
On the quay awaiting the coming of their
Majesties was President Faure, attired in
evening dress, with the ribbon of tbe Legion of
Honor. Ihere were also present M. Challemel
Lacour, President of the Senate, SI. HrlBson,
President of tho Chamber of Deputies: M.

Owing to the high wind and rougli water, con-
slderabTe difficulty wns experienced In Kitting

oanccuvrlng to get her In position for tbe land

In the vicinity wan perfectly quiet, but when
the gangway waa finally In position and thu
Czarina stepped onto tho quay, followed almost
Immediately after by the Czar shouts of "Long
Llvd thoCzarl" "Long Live Ilnatlal" rent tho
air and wero repeated again and again. Hats,
handkerchiefs, and umbrellas were waved In
thjht and tho crowd shouted Itself hoarse In
tbl enthusiasm of Its welcomo to the great
It Indof l ranee.
Jbo rooms In the Arsenal, adjoining the land
' place, that had been prepared for the ro
ttlon pf their Majesties wero most hand

it was the Intention tu hao tho Czar itnrf

The fact that tho Czar did not travcrso tho

crowds, which were prepared to glvn further
evidence of their good will to tho Autocrat of
all tho Russian.
'Ihe ( rar and Czarina had a short rest beforo

was spread In tho dining room. . , , ,
It was the original Intention that the Imperial
visitors should traverse tho streets of the city,
but tbe unplens am state of the weather forbado
tills, and at K o'clock the Czar and Czarina and
tholr suites boarded tho special train that was
awaiting them at tho Arsenal, a track having
been specially laid thereto from tho railway
station, and started for Paris President Fnure-.
the Ministers, nnd other high ofllclals started
for Pnrlson the train on which they travelled
to Cherbourg last night. , , . .
1 alien altogether tho reception to tho Imperial
visitors horn was one long to bo remembered,
and must have Impressed tho Czar with tho
great friendship entertained for him by tho
1 rench, not nlono tno oftlelal class, but by nil
tho people.
PtiHTSMOirril, Oct. G. High winds prevailed
throughout the night, kicking up a rougli sea
In tho Channel and rendering things altogether
disagreeable, but this morning the wind sub
sided und the air was cold and tho sky clearing.
Gradually tho clouds rolled away and tho sun
contributed Its share toward making It a bril
liant morning. Tho arrangements for tho dn
parturo of the Car and t zarlna for lranco
which were made sivcraldavs ago wero perfect,
and the nrogrammo was carried out to the last
detail. '1 ho Russian Imperial yachts Polar Star
and bfnndnrt, tho former having tho Czar
and Czarlua on board, wero escorted by
vessels of tho British Channel HecU each
of tho yachts being attended by threo
battlo ships which wero stationed on tho quar
ters of the Russian vessels Cruisers wore sta
tioned at tholr bows and twelve torpedo ilo
Bttoycrs followed In their wake. Tliolleut start
ed at 7 .10 o'clock nmid tho booming of tho
cunnoa tiring the roynl saluto nnd the cheering
of tbe bluejackets and tho crowds on shore.
Before leaving tho Czar and Czarina sent a
most cordial mosiago to the Gjticcn, thanking
hcrMaJcstj for her hospitality.
Tlin programmo for tho Czar's visit to Paris Is
a long and elaborato one. It Includes an appro

The Victims tVere In Heparato Cars, nnd
the Ilobbers I.stered Them from tbe
Hoofs lloth Alea Jleaten Into Insensl
blllty and 810J Tnteen from Them.
Kinuhtov, N, V., Oct, G.-Tho oxplolt of
Oliver Curtis Porry is recalled by a remark
ably daring train rubbery which took placo on
tho West Mioro Road, botwten Newburgh nnd
this place, on baturday night. Four men,
wearing masks mado of rod bandnnna hand
kerchiefs, hold In placo with bits of ordinary
twlno, scaled the sides of a freight train, mov
ing along nt tho ruto of forty-five miles an
hour, swung themselves Into the open doorway
of ono of tho cars and thero attacked a drover
who was riding with somo valuable, horses
of his own. Tho man was beaten Into Insonsl
blllty bv tho thieves nnd then thrown Into
a corner of thocnr, his head and face cut and
bleeding nnd his body covered with bruises
from tbo kicks administered b) his assnitants.
From his pockets tho thieves got $100 In money
nnd a gold watch and chain. Then they onco
muro scaled tho car to tho roof, doscondetl In
similar fashion to tho next car. where thoy ad
ministered about tho same sort of treatment to
tho mau thoy found there, who happened to bo
the brothor of their first victim,
Beforo tho train reached this placo tho rob
bers had all escaped, nnd although the polico
and railroad bands, nsslsted by posses of cit
izens, havo scoured tho country for miles
around, they bavo not found the slightest traeo
of them. Iho polico aro now looking for ono
Brocky Daran, former convict and crook, know n
all along the road, and three comrades, who
got Into a brawl In a saloon near here on Sun
day morning, and, after shooting a man
who Interfered with them, crossed the river
In n small boat and mado their escape All four
of tho meu bad money and revolvers, both of
which they dlspla)ed at various places of ill
repute near bore, and, as tho possession of
money is always Indicative of a fresh crime with
Brocky, tho polico aro now convinced that ho
and his companions were the four men who
assaulted and robbed the drovers.
Tho general opinion among tho railroad peo
ple and the police Is that tbo robbery was care
fully planned weeks ago, and that the drovers
who were robbed had been marKed as victims
for somo time. They are Henry and Joseph
Hilton of Now Scotland, N". Y., reputable cattle
men, and supposed to bo worth conslderablo
money. Their stook Is always very valuahlo
nnd thoy rarel) ship horses without accompany
ing tho consignment themselves.
All along tho lino of tbo road from New York
to Albany they aro well known from tho fre
quency of their trips, and It has always been
pretty well understood that they were In tho
habit of carrying a great deal of money with
them. On 1 riday last tho Hiltons went down to
New York to come up with two carloads of
horses which wero being shipped to them from
the West. Tho men got in separate cars so as
to be nblo to attend to all uf the stock. They
left Wehawken on baturday afternoon on
freight tram No Til. which is ono of the fastest
f relglit trnlns on tbe road. That they might bo
able to communicate with one nnother tho
doors of tho freight cars were left open, and up
the hide of each car wero four cleats nailed
t blocks, forming a sort of ladder up which
they could climb to the roof, rbey could then
easily walk to the next ear and make thu do
scent In tho same wa .
Just whero tho four robbers got on the train
Is not known positively, but they probably
boarded It at Newburgh, as they wore not no
ticed an) where when the train stooped thero
for water. After the train left Newburgh It had
a clear track and the speed made was forty-five
mllos an hour, so that it would havo been prac
tically Impossible for any one to bavo boarded
It after that. Tho agent at a small way station,
Just a fow mites from New hurkh. remembered
seeing -ome men riding on the bumpers of No
TO as it passed him, and they wero undoubtedly
the thieves
It was when tho train had reached a point
several miles this side of I'lster Park that tho
robbers concluded that the time for action lad
come, and. adjusting the Improvised masrs,
the) climbed tu the- top of tho freight cur,
crnwltd along on their hands and knees until
tliey got tu a point direct!) over the open door
nnd then began to let themselves down llenr)
Hilton was in thu cur entered first and lie
stared in nmazeiuent at tho first mnn who
swung himself through the door. It enned an
Impossible feat ul the speed tho train was tun
ing and ho did not know whether ho was
dreaming or not Right after tho first man,
however, came anottier, and after him still an
other, tho fourth remaining on thu roof ns a
lookout.
When ho saw tho threo men Hilton realized
that the) weru n band uf robbers, and, grubbing
n stick, stood back to defend lillntlf. 1 ho iui u
did not wustu anv tlmo In spurring or sMrmtsh
lng. but It t into Hilton all at once. I he brawny
drover's arms swung around with llghtnlng.llku
rapldlt). and ut each blow ho t-cut a roblnr
reeling acryss tho cur. His stick brake ut a
critical point of the argument, und ho was then
cbllged to defend himself entlrel) with his fists.
Ho would probabl) havo wiped out the whole
b end. but for tho fact that ouo of the men, who
seemed to bo the leader, whipped out a revolver
and, sticking It under tho drover's noso, com
manded, " Hold up )our handsl" The slglit of
tho pistol rattled Hilton and before ho could
recover blmsslfho got a blow over tbe back of
the lnad thut knocked tbo senses out of Mm.
'the three men then Jumped on him together
and did not let tho unconscious mun alone until
tbev hud wreuked vengeuueo ou him for tlie
Bletlc.o-h'unmer blows bo had rained on them
w hen lie had a bit of a chance in tho light.
Aftur rilling Hilton's pocket and kottlng
S100 and bis gold watch and chain tho thieves
throw him into a corner of tlie ear and on get
ting tho signal from tho man ou tbo roof mat
nil was well, carefully ascended to tho top.
During thu tight In the car Hilton had repeated
ly veiled for help at tho tupof ills voftu. hoping
to attract the attention of his brothor. Thu
thieves, ton. had jelled at their com
panion on tho roof to enmo down und
taka a band In tbo light, and there
was a good deal of ) riling und swearing.
Hilton savs. whllo thought was going on, but
none of the train hands heard a Bound, and
Joseph Hilton declared that ho did not heir
anything nt all.aiidilld not know that anything
out of the urdlnuri hud hupponcd until tlie
threo meu swung themselves into his cur, one
after tho other. In preclsel) tho same wa that
they had entered the first car, Joseph took in
tiitiFliuatlon the moment ho saw tho iirstpair
of leg appear below the top of tho door.
Picking up a lit av) club howuut over by tho
entrance und wulted for the rest of tlio body to
appear. Ah hoop as thu man landed In tlie ear.
which bo managed to do by giving himself a
hw lng, which was bound to land film either in
the tiirorln eternity. Hilton grabbed him b) tbo
throat, and, raising his club, exclaimed:
' I'll clicjim ten set otitis to get out of this
car again tlie same wav )ou como In "
"Thu hell)ou will," said tbo robber, nnd ha
Lave his knee a sudden ralc, catching Hilton in
tint stomach a id forcing hlui to loosen Ids hold.
In nu Instant the mun hnd cracked Hilton
over tbe hi ad with tbo butt end of his rovolvt r,
Hilton hud retaliated b) lunditig n blow with
his club bt twt en tho mnn's shoulders, and they
hud grupplid und were rolling over and over cm

by the National Meniocrncy.
Tho Tammany leaders In tho Twelfth Con
gress district bavo had several lively sessions In
tho past few da)s with I.tntler hheehan ovor
tho proposition to renominate Congressman
Uoorgo B. McClellan. Strong Influences were
brought to bear to secure his ronomlnatinn,
and thero was a Btandlng promiso thnt
tho National or Uold Democrats would
endorse htm. Thero was tho rub for
Tammany, howover. Tho organization had
demanded tho withdrawal of John Boyd
Thachor as candidate for Oovcrnor becauso ho
was a "goldbug," and Col. McClellan ivas In
tho sumo category. John J. Scannell, tho leader
In tho Twonty-llfth Assembly, declared that
Tammany Hall must not Btultify ltsolf, aud
Leader Shoehan declared that every nomlnco of
tho Wigwam must stand pquarclyon tho Chi
cago platform. Leader Charles F. Slurphy of tho
LTghlrenth or (las House district, tu which
Col. McClellan resides, insisted on his renom
Inatton, and Leader James P. Keatlnp; of tho
Twentieth Assembly district wavered.
It was agreed )esterda) afternoon that tho
organization could not nfford to nominate Mc
Clrcllan. Boforo 0 o'clock this decision was rescinded,
and it was agreed to uominato him. bcannoll
still kicked.
Tho Convontlon was nt 207 East Thirty-second
streot. William P. Moohan of tho Gas
House district, a friend of tho McClellan fac
tion, was mado Chairman.
Mr. Scannell forced tho fighting from' tho
start. Ho offered tho follow lng resolution :
Jveioltvd. That the Democrats of tho Twelfth Con
gress district heartily endorse tbu platforms of tbo
Chlcairoaiu! tlurfulo Conventions, and ll Is their tie,
sire that tbelr candlelato for Cuugrets stand stuaruly
on menu plstforms
Leader Murph) objected to tho reading of tho
resolution, but Loader Scannell persisted and
mado a speech, in which ho said:
"I am a friend of Mcllellanand of alibis
friends I nm also tho friend of ouo who is not
hero (Mr Croker), who I am sure would be with
me in this fight: who is ever tho first to reach
forth his hand to draw back n fugitive' from tho
Wigwam."
Stephen J. O'Hare of tho Twentieth district
moved to postpone consideration of tho scannell
resolution until after tbe nomination w ns made
AtlgustusT. Dnchnrt) and others of the T went) -llfth
district protested, nnd cries went up of
"No gag law! Wewunt to know where our
candidate stands. Vote tho resolution down If
youdarol"
Then Mr. O'Haro moved a reference to a
commltteo on resolutions tn be appointed
Thero was great confusion, and Theodore Ham
ilton called out.
" Let's name a gold man nnd adjourn "
Chairman Mrchan declared the motion enr
ried, mid appointed, ou tbo suggestion of Mr.
O'Hare, tho Chilrmen of tbo various Assemblv
district delegations as members of the Commlt

floor here, and said .
" h) not bring thocnnt'ldato beforo the Con

Vice-President of tho United Stoti s was not
afraid to declare himself. Tho leading mem
bers of the Democratic pitty havo nut been

It seems to mo it 1 uur right to
know how tho mnn whom wo nro to
