Especial to the SENTINEL

land, eyeglasses aud all, came to the Dele
van House, and was assigned to room No.
113. According to the story told by the
half-breeds to-day, her conduct and move
ments attracted no particular attention
until one Of the hall-boys noticed ex-Sen-
ator Plat near her door. Platt in a con-
fused manner asked the boy if Conkling
still had room No. 122, which is on the
floor overhead. This aroused the sus-
picions Of the boy, and he reported the
matter to Senator Woodin, one Of the half
breed leaders. Woodin let several into the
secret, and ii was resolved to set a watch
on Plat and the woman, who gave the
name Of Baldwin, but from what place has
not been ascertained. Two members OF
the Assembly were detailed to be at supper
and secure seats at the same table with the
lady, for the purpose OF identifying her.
After supper she returned to her room
No. 1l3. About half-past II O'Clock Plat
was observed to go to room No. 113. A
number of half-breeds then went to the
Office and hired rooms Nos. log and 107,
opposite No. 113, and 80 located that any
one coming out Of No. 113 must necessarily
pass by the door Of either No. LOG or No.
107. Both Of these rooms were kept in
darkness, and in each were two or three
members of the Legislature. Others who
had been informed were also on the look
out. One of the servants was sent down
stairs to bring q stepladder. The one
brought was too short and he was sent af-
ter a longer one. When this came Senator

and Skinner, with ex-Sheriif Daggett OF
Brooklyn and Police Inspector Desbrecker,
removed their boots, and one by one as
cended the ladder and looked into room
No. 113 through the transom, the window
Of which was closed. They say Plstt was
lying on the bed and the woman was un-
dressing for bed. After waiting a consider
able time, a note was slipped under the
door reading thus:
"To Hon. L. c. Plat: We will give you
ten minutes to get out OF that room.
Yours respectfully. THE HALF-BREEDs.'
Plat in going to his room, No. 8S, on
the Broadway side of the hotel, had to pass
not only the doors Of Nos. LOG and 107, but
also the open doors Of Nos. 70 and 10, oc-
cupied by Democratic Senators Zeebocher
and Hogan, and also the room occupied by
parties not belonging to the Legislature.
All of these were on the watch, and saw
Platt as he ran by. On his way to his
room one party shouted after him: 'iNow,
Tom, my boy, that won't do" Soon after
going to his room Platt reappeared, and
proceeded to Conkling's rooms, where a
consultation was held, at which it was
agreed to call it a conspiracy against Plat,
and this is the ground taken by those OF
the stalwarts who do not admit the truth
OF the statements made by those claiming
to have been eyewitnesses of the affair.
Nominations in Iowa.
DIES MONIES, June 30.-The Republican
State Convention made John Y. Stone Per.
manent Chairman. The first vote for
Governor stood: Sherman, 4l6; L.arrobee,
1868; Hanlan, LAG; Campbell, 76; Kimball,
IL. Several ballots followed without ma.
terial change. Sherman making several
gains. On the twelfth ballot the vote
stood: Sherman, 500 Larrobee, 450
Campbell, 81; Hanlan, 80. Sherman
lacked one of a majority. Larrobee's
friends withdrew him amid cheers, and
Sherman was nominated by reclamation.
Il was q wild and exciting scene. 0. H.
Manning was nominated for Lieutenant
GoYernor and Judge Austin Adams for
Supreme Judge. The platform contained
nothing very noteworthy, but was q strong
document. betting Iowa. It demands
that the Territories be made as absolutely
free from the debasing presence and per.
nicious influence of polygamy as the States
now are of slavery, and is unstinted in
praise of Garfeld's Administration.
The Albany Situation.
New YORK, June 30.-A Sun Albany
special says: The hall. breeds this morn.
ing are falling back on q personal scandal
the glibly retailed particulars of an alleged
escapade last night by a prominent Sena.
torial candidate - not Conkling - involv.
ing family honor. The stalwarts say it is
a fixed plan to smirch one of their number,
as the alleged witnesses are all half breeds.
The report spread fast. Prominent half
breeds themselves consider it untrue.
True or false it has arisen from the almost
wholesale employment Of detectives who
are here in the pay of both factions and
dog everybody at all hours. Their en-
ployment has embittered the factions so
that an agreement is apparently impossible.
Another weeks session seems assured. The
bribery committee seem to desire to let the
matter rest, as II is now in the courts. The
parties indicted view it coolly and deny all
guilt. The half-breeds are signing freely
a call for q caucus. 1t was started by the
feather heads and now has nearly City sig
natures; sixty-hve are necessary. It IL
said the stalwarts ignore 1t. 1t requires
that 81 votes shall nominate.
Five Persons Drowned.
New YORK, July 1.-The Eve persons
drowned by the capsizing Of a boat off
Bridgeport on Tuesday were H. M. John
son, entry clerk in Benjamin's silk import
ing house; VIM. saley, errand boy Of the
same place; Herman Eddy. book. keeper;
A. NJ. Edmonds, 9 ship broker, and Miss
Fannie Campbell. The squall which up-
set them came like q fash OF lightning.
The two male survivors tell a pitiful story
OF their heroic efforts to float themselves
and their companions, some Of whom could
not swim. The rain was so heavy and the
bail, wind and dashing water combined.
that it nearly ended them, and they were
saved only by ciinging to the yawl and ice
box. Miss Campbell was kept aaoat a
long time, but the hail caused her to let
go OF her escort, and crying, Oh, Lord
help me-" she sank from sight. The
schooner Senator from Maine finally res.
cued the two survivors.
Jimmy Hope I'm Demand.
NEW York, July Jimmy Hope, the
man caught in San Francisco while in the
act OF burglarizing the safe Of Sather 4
Co.'s Bank, is wanted here. The authori-
ties Of New York will ask those Of Califor-
MIA, if the charge against him there is not
sustained. to turn him over for trial in
New York ON old charges. The Central
police officials say Of Hope that he is about
