New York, Oct. 11.—Justloe Gaynor, sitting in Long Island City, filed a deci sion yesterday which disfranchises, so far as the island is concerned, between 900 and 1000 men. The decision practi cally wipes an entire election district Of the town of Castleton. The action in which the decision is rendered was brought by the attorney-general at the instance of Good Government clubsmen on Staten island. Thomas H. Meyers, an inmate of the Sailors’ Home, at Snug Harbor, was ohosen as an election officer in Snug Harbor and the little adjoining territory, which makes up the Ninth election dis trict of the town of Castleton. The ac tion sought to oust Meyers from his po sition as an lnspeotor of elections in the Ninth district. Justice Gaynor found that the inmates of the home cannot vote there, as they still retain their old homes from which they originally came, and mu3t vote from there. Both republican and democratic leaders when seen last night said they were glad the case had been decided as it had.

He and Fitz Are Afraid of Getting Into Jail. San Antonio, Tex., Oct. XI.—Private ad vices were received here from Austin to day that the Travis grand jury would return an indictment against Corbett and Fttzsifnmons. Immediately upon re ceiving this informsiCon Manager Brady decided to get Corbett out of the state as soon as possible so as to place him out of reach of the Texas authorities. Brady left for Hot Springs, where he will ascer tain for himself whether or not the tight can be pulled off there and if he finds it can he will secure training quarters for the champion and the entire party will be removed to the new battle ground within the next few days. Corbett was very despondent over the outlook today. The unlooked for opposi tion of Governor Clark makes it very doubtful whether the fight can be pulled off at Hot Springs. The champion said this evening: •'Fitz is preparing to get out of the state to avoid the possibility of arrest, and I do not want to remain here and be placed in the clutches of the law while he goes free. I am tired of this persistent persecution on the part of Governor Cul berson and it is probable that I will re move my training quarters to Hot Springs within the next few days. This is a splendid training place and I shall regret to leave." Steve O’Donnel, who is matched to fight Peter Maher, is confinrd to his hed with sickness. The complaint is not se rious and he expects to resume his train ing tomorrow. Pitz Won’t Leave.

It Wrought Tremendous Damage Along the Lower California Coast. Washington, Oct. 11.—A special from Guayarnas, Mex., says that advices from Pacific ports of Mexico and ports on the west side of the gulf of California show that the hurricane which sw'ept north ward during September 30 to October 3 caused great damage to property a®d shipping, and that a number of lives were lost. The telegraph wires were prostra ted and information comes In by degrees as people arrive from below. The hurricane crossed the isthmus of Tehuantepec, swept up the coast into the gulf of California, doing great damage. The hurricane was accompanied by a deluge of water, whioh completed the ruin the wind had wrought. At Topolo bambo all the houses of the American colony were greatly damaged and the custom house was wrecked. The Ahomy rlyer overflowed its banks and destroyed sugar plantations and sugar mills thirty miles away from the channel of the stream. The entire cane crop of the state of Sinaloa, as far as reported, is com pletely ruined and tho sugar plant and re fineries at Ahnne, the property of Mark Sherwood of Chicago and his associates, were demolished.

New York, Oct. 11.—If the new line steamer St. Paul does as well for the rest of her voyage as she did for the first twenty-two hours after leaving Sandy Hook she is likely to break the record between thts port and Southampton. The steamer Fuerst Bismarck, which came into port today from Hamburg, exchanged signals with the St. Paul 415 miles out. and the new steamer was go ing along to the eastward with graat speed. The sea was comparatively smooth at the time the Bismarck passed the yankee steamer and with a westerly wind, the rig favored the new craft. Some of the passengers of the German boat Bismarck say that she must have -been doing over twenty-one knots an hour when seen. The Mail and Express says that it has developed that when Captain Jameson left this port on Wednesday he had instructions to smush the record if he could. Kit Loftwith Hanged.

"It's all a fake,” said Mr. Will Pickens, in speaking to a State Herald reporter of the articles which appeared in the Mont gomery papers and specials which were sent out from that city in regard to a tri-match race between Warren of this city, Lum of Montgomery and Parquette of Mobile, “It’s all a fake, pure and simple. Neither Lum nor Parquette want to meet Warren again. Because Warren met with several accidents Lum won three, state championships in Mont gomery on September 26-27. But the way Warren won five open races from these so-called champions was a caution. War ren also won six straight races from Lum In Meridian in August. Their scheme is simply to get free advertising in news papers, as they can't advertise them selves on the track. All I have to say is that If Messrs. Lum and Parquette want to race with a Birmingham boy that we have several second-raters here who can hold their own with them, as Warren is dearly out of their class, and still holds his title of champion of the sotlth.” Buy the celebrated Yost writing machine, 2021 First CLEVELAND NOT ASSASSINATED.

Those who played the gray mare, thinking their money lost, now hacked the colonel with disastrous re sults, as Ella T. raced like a new horse, coming with renewed vigor from the sev enth furlong home, winning by half a length from Colonel Thornton til 2:10.

For the first week ending September 27, there were twenty-one deaths. New York city, with seven times the popula tion of Washington, reported only seven teen typhoid deaths for the same period, and most of the cities of the size of Wash ington reported not more than two or three deaths, if any at all. The epidemic is attributed to the low stage of the water in the Potomac river, which constitutes the city’s supply, and the use ot well water in families.
