Ithi principles of tbo Union, to the vuters who
hare authorized us to express their preference
for tho first Mayor of the Greater New York,
Saototbc ondldate whom they havo chosen,
Mnders It impossible for the Union to accept the
Imitation. Tho Union. having been organized
tor the express purpose of carrying Into erf ect the
trlnclplu emboiled in the constitutional pro
rulon separating local from State and mtinlo
leal elections, and of securing home rule for
us citizens of New York, cannot combine with
Battles representing Buto and national issues
In the nomination of candidates chosen becauss
of their party affiliations, and necessarily under
obligation to the party which they represent.
"The Union has appealed to all citizens of
whatever party to unite, without surrender of
their party allegiance, in the cause of good city
government. In response to this appeal 127.
129 voters of the city of New York

Low their choice for Mayor. The Union
proposes to afford this body of voters an
opportunity to exercise their statutory
right to make nominations Independent of party
lo accordance with the Election law and In ful
tlment of their expressed wish, and it is our
earnest hope that the high character and ability
of Mr. Low and his recognized fitness for the
efflce will induce all friends of Kood government
uiopport bis candidacy.
"In raaklnp other nominations the Union will
u) governed by n like regard for the wishes of

It was eipectwl that the conferees would con
One themselves in tho discussion to naming a

jet together for a general conference ns to can
Wastes to be named by tho city conentions,but
Itwas quickly observed that this whs consid

Cutely there hroko out a very general discus

Meet in the few remarks that he had to say tho
attitude of tho Republican organization. Mr,

wt If the Citizens' Union deferred action on

It was not inconceivable that Mr, Low might bo

I could not be bound by any such proceeding, and
Wr. (Juigir clearly Intimated that If tho Citizens'

All this wis 8 ild In tho nicest spirit, and yet

Louts Simons, a milk dealer living at 3741
Lasallo street, shortly after midnight Inst night,
until ho rovoalod the hiding place of bis life
time savings ot $1,000.
After securing tho money tho men gagged
Simons, bound his hnnds and feet, and rolled
htm into a closot in his kitchen. Ten minutes
after the robbery Matthew Pom, employed by
Simons, entered the houso and discovered his
employer. Torn Buininoncd n physician, who
rovlvcd tho unconscious Simons and then notl
Mod tho police.
Simons was asleop when the robbers entered
bis house. He says tho first intimation he had
that there was anybody else in the room was
tho clasp of strong fingers about his throat nnd
tho weight of a man sitting astride his breast.
He was admonished to keen still on pain of
death by one ot tho men, who drew the sharp
edge of a knife across IiIb throat. The robbers
bound him with a clothes line and gagged him
with a napkin, after which they searched the
bouse, but failed to Und any money. They then
dragged him Into the kitchen nnd ordered blm
to tell the hiding place of his money, blmons
said he had no money, and one ot the
men suggested that they burn the soles
of his feot until he was willing to tell vt here his
savings were hidden. Lighted matches were
held to his feet. Failing even by this means to
se -uro information as to the hiding place of the j
money tho men told Simons they would kill him.
One placed n revolver nt his head and another
touched his throat with the point of a knife and
told him they would give him two minutes to
tell where his money was. Simons weakened at
this. After they got the money they threw him
into a closet ami made their escape. No arrests
have been made.
SOLDIERS AHEAD Of TUB 3TOB.
Attempt to Lynch Jabn A. t.afTard Follea by
Gar. Johnston's Action.
Greenville, Ala., Aug. 30. Shortly after
midnight this morning a courier from the west
ern part ot this. Butler, county dashed into the
dty at breakneck speed and Informed Sheriff
Sbanks that a mob was marching to Greenville
to lynch John A. Gofford, who killed Francis Ti.
Lloyd, tbo newspaper writer, near hero on last
Thursday.
The Sheriff telegraphed to Got. Johnston, who
was in Birmingham at tho time, and the Gov
ernor Instructed hirn to call out the Greenville
Hides and all of the available officers of tho law
to protect tho prisoner In Jail.
Tho Sberiff acted promptly, tho troops were
drawn up about the jail, and when the mob's
scouts came up they found the authorities wero
prepared to meet them. The facts were re
ported to the lynchers, who decided, after n con
ference, to postpone their attempt until lo
nUbt. After the officers had surrounded the jail they
discovered that a hole big enough to permit the
passage of a person of large size hail been dix
In the Jail wall, and It Is thought tbat agents of
the lyncners had dug the opening In order to
guarantee themselves a paaskgo Inside if they
were unsuccessful In getting tho keys from tho
Sheriff. Two prisoners accusod of felonies
escaped through this hole during the excite
ment. This afternoon, guarded by the military, tho
prisoner GarTord was conducted from tho Jail
to the train and brought to this city, where be
is conflnod to-nlgbt and where he will likely re
main until he It tried.
Gafford killed Lloyd because he thought im
proper relations existed between him and Oaf
ford's sister. Lloyd was a prominent Democrat
and a member of tbo Legislature. Gafford is a
Populist, and political sympathy has lined op
the citizens on two sides.

FIRE AT A STATE BOSPITAL.
Two or Three Dulldlnai Ueitrexed, Involilng
n Lots or About nno.ooo.
BinoiiasitC'N, Aug. 30. Toe large buildings
of the State Hospital, about two miles from this
city, wero threatened with destruction by tire
to-night, and It was only by most efficient work
of tho Fire Dopartment that tbey were saved.
Tho names originated In the drying room of the
laundry building, which la kopt at a host of 180
degrees.
To-day was washday at the hospital nnd the
laundry contained about 13,000 pieces, tho
soiled linen of tbo patients, officers and attend
ants, besides the bed furnishings used during
the past week. Tho flames were discovered
shortly before 7 o'clock and had gained such
headway that the apparatus at tho hospital was
lusufllclent to stop their progress, and tbo Fire
Department of this city was called out to render
assistance. After thrco hours' hard work the
fire was gotten under control and conflnod to
two or three buildings which wero entirely de
stroyed. The loss is about $30,000.
The buildings destroyed wero some dlstnnro
from the main building where the l.IISi! pntlenta
ere confined. The patients had just retired for
the night when aroused by the glare of tho
rlame. All was din and confusion, and the at
tendants had their hands full to keep anything
llko order. The grated windows wero llllel
with miniao faces. Some laughed, some cried,
while others danced In glee over thu strange
spectacle. The State Hospital consists of forty
or more buildings, most or which are considered
fireproof. They have a regular organized tiro
department and apparatus sufficient, as was
supposed, to put a stop to any blaze that mUht
occur, but to-night It was found lo be Insuffi
cient, and. but for the timely aid of the city's
steamers, the main building would havo been
burnod.
irO-VT BE TUE CITY'S LASBLORD,
Major Strong Is Afraid That It Would Set
People Talhlnr.
Recently a committee was appointed by the
Sinking Fund Commission to find new quarters
for the City Court, which will have to vaoate
the City Hall before Jan. 1 in order to make
room for the Municipal Assembly ot Greater
New York. The committee reported In favor of
tho brownstone building facing on Chambers
street which Is now oocuplsd by Justice Lynn's
civil court, the Sheriff's office, and tho olllce of
the Street Cleaning Department. The building
wns considered suitable, but tho committee
struck a snsg when It scleoted new quarters for
Sheriff Damsen and Col, Waring. It was decided
to roport In fn vor of hiring office for the Sheriff In
tho new building of the Central National Hank,
at 3U0 Broadway, and quarters for Col. Waring
in the New York Llfo building, at Leonard
street and Broadway,
When Mayor Strong baird of the scheme he
put his foot down hard. He Is a director of the
Ccntril Hank and a trustee ot the New York
Life Insurance Comnany, and he was afraid lhat
the hiring of offices for public purposes In tbnss
buildings would cause adverse comment. The
up'hot of the in it tor Is thnt the City Court will
remain In the City Hall tor the present and tho
committee will look for other uuartcrs for the
Sheriff and tbo Slroot Cleaning Department.

Paiuh, Aug. 30. Onco more Paris Is singing
tho " Marseillaise," and accounts from the prov

tu dollrlous rejoicing over the Russian-French
alliance. Two days' notlco has sufficed to put
Paris complete; fi Jlte. Novor was the gay
capllal moro beautiful. Flags, bunting, and
Mowers covor the buildings of tho wholo city.
Business Is forgotten, and tho boulevards aro
thronred with crowds, whose patrlotlo fervor Is
already bordering on delirium.
The welcome that will bo given to-morrow to
President Fauro on his return from Russia will
Burpass any demonstration evor mado for a
Presldout of tho French republic. Kron tho
editors havo lost their he vis. Tho following Is
a samplo of Intoxicated patriotism from to-day's
Jlappel:
"Oh, glorious, radiant day! Wo shall now
raise our hoad, which for twenty-sevon yoars
has been bowed down with defeat. The soldiers
ot right and equity aro on foot again, Thoy are
ready, ao, ready. Long llvo Russia! 1ong

Let us sing abovo all, tho ' Marsolllalsc.'
"Alssco-Lorraine, beloved sister who has so
long In vain strolchod to us your manacled
arms, you shnll bo once moro French."
Sensible people know, of course, that tho treaty
with Russia has no such significance, but tho
misses persist In deluding themsolves with the
Idea that the alllnnco means thnt Alsace-Lorraine
will bo wrested from Germany and restored
to France.
It is declared with somo show of authority
that the alliance is offensive as well as de
fensive, but as yet the details of tho compact are
unknown.

It is officially announced that Cardinal Rich

London. Aug. 30. Symptoms of genuine un
easiness are beginning to appear hero regard
ing the Franco-Russian treaty and the danger '
of n pan-European combination against Great '
Britain. Thcro Is now a widespread belief that
tbe formation of the latter combination Is the
ruling nmbltlon of Emperor William. Com
menting on the subject, nn influential Tory
Journal has this to say, which well expresses the
fears that are felt tn Government circles:
" It will not do for Englishmen to hug to them
selves the comfortable belief that the memories
of 1870 will always sufllce to range Franco on
thn opposite side to Germany In any European
complication. Sedan has passed almost as com
pletely Into history as Trafalgar and Waterloo,
and thero are few Frenchmen who would be
averse to paying themselves out of the
British empire for their sacrifices under
tbe troaty of Frankfort. Tho ceded prov
inces are, no doubt, a real obstacle; hut
It Germany yielded eter so little wo are
much mistaken It she would not be able to count
upon the friendship of her old enemy, at least
for a time. Tlio cession of Mete alono might
change tho wholo current of foellng In France,
and for defensive purposes Metz Is of no value
to Its present possessor. It Is a standing menace
to France, but Is not llko Strassburg, which is
au integral part ot the German sjitcm of de
fence. "Englishmen will by no means watch un
moved to-morrow's itrcat spectacle In Purls."
