ST. John Asked TO Withdraw.

New YORK, October "a mum.
ber of leading Republicans who are
in hearty sympathy with the prohi-
bition movement feel that the candi-
dacy of Governor St. John is weak
ening the Republican party only,
and by supporting him they may
possibly injure the Republican nom-
inees without in any way aiding in
the furtherance of their own princi-
Piles, They have therefore united in
request to Governor st. John to
withdraw from the Presidential con-
test. The paper is signed by DIR.
Theodore D. Woolsey, ex-President
of Yale College, John V. Farwell and
Judge Grant Goodrich, of Chicago,
Rev. DR.. Hatfield and Mr.. Orrington
Lunt, of Evanston, Ills, Governor
John Evans, of Colorado, the Presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees of the
North western University al Evan
ston, H., and many of the promi-
nent men in the Prohibition move
ment. The address embodies four
teen different reasons why the Re-
publican party should be adhered to
in the present contest.
First among these that it is their
belief that prohibition will be more
successful when it is submitted to a
vote of the people separate from the
issues and distinct from party poll
tics. 1T is unfair" the report con-
tinues, Ito patriotic citizens to bring
the question before them in such
shape as not only to require its
friends to vote for what many of
them do not approve, but also to sac
rifice their ballot on all other ques-
tions, however vitality important
they may be. Votes for the prohi-
bition ticket are three-told thrown
away They weaken the party,
strengthen the enemy and endorse
an unwise and ill-advised movement.
1t has not the approval of many
now in the prohibition movement,
and temperance people in Maine,
Iowa and Kansas oppose it to-day"
The fourth reason stated is the gen.
eral confusion that exists in regard
to the purposes of the st. John tick
ct. According to its platform a vote
for it is as much vote for woman's
suffrage, for Chinese immigration,
from taking the appointing power
away from the President, and for
unjust reflections on Blaine and Lo-
gan, as it is for temperance, The
address finally closes with an appeal
to Republicans to stand by the par
ty, and formal request to Mr.. St.
John to withdraw from the contest.

A Sad story.

She was Miss Mary Hoyt, daughter

tered the New Haven Railroad wait

with parasol in one hand and a
satchel in the ether. Officer Hagan
was on duty there, and Immediately
she began to berate him for not hav-

hers when she asked him. He tried
to put her of, and she replied. Then
after some forcible language, she
struck him over the head with her
parasol. The assault was witnessed
by policeman Reynold, but Miss
Hoyt was allowed to leave the room
she had assured Hagen
that she would have him broke" "
Then she went to the Nineteenth
sub-precinct, mistaking it for tele

She was fined $40, and then taken

Drowned in the East RIser.

New YORK, October IA neat
ly-dressed, medium-sized man got
on the pier at the foot of Dover
street last night and was walking to
the edge when Private Watchman
Ennis stopped him. The Stranger
who appeared to be slightly under
the influence of liquor, said he wan
ted to 60 to Brooklyn, and could not
bo induced to leave the pier.
Watchman Lem then came up, and
the stranger was removed to the
street.
Ten minutes later the stranger re-
appeared on the pier, and flourish
ing his arms about cried out: I'm
Johnny Dwyer and Pm going to
Brooklyn if I've got to swim there" +"
Lem caught hold of him, and Ennis
started to look for a policeman.
During Ennis absence the stranger
broke away from Lem and jumped
into the river. The captain of ca
nal boat threw q rope to the stran-
ger who refused to take hold of it.
A life raft thrown within few feet
of him was also tured aside and in a
few minutes he sank from sight
Policeman Baker, of the Oak street
station secured a boat and padded
about for nearly an hour, but could
find no trace of the man The cur
rent was so strong that the body was
swept away as soon as he
sank,
The stranger is described as
about so years old, with dark hair
and side whiskers. He was dressed
in dark suit of clothes and wore
dark overcoat.

mob of about $50 persons formed
at the Jail at Cannelton, with the ap-
parent intent Of lvnching the Hen
dershot murderers, father and son,
but made no effort to that end, SEEM
ing to be without a leader. The ex-
pected arrival of mob from Troy
also discouraged them. AT 2 o'clock
officers got the prisoners into a
covered express, took them on board
the steamer Henry Logan, which
had previously been chartered for
the purpose, and steamed off down
the river. The people were greatly
excited and would have prevented
the accomplishment of the rescue
if they had had any idea of what
was transporting. AS the boat pass
ed Tros with the prisoners a mob
of about fifty endeavored to head
the boat off, but it hugged the Ken
lucky shore and pushed on down
the river. The steamer arrived at
Rockport and the prisoners haye
been put in Jail there.

A Justice of the Peace Assaulted
with an Axe.

New HAVEN, Conn. Oct. S.-Dr.
link, justice of the peace in the
town of Branford, was assaulted
last night with an axe in his kitch-
en-, where he had eaten his lunch
and fallen asleep ia chair. While
his head was resting on the table,
some unknown person entered and
struck him blow on the back of
the head fracturing his skull. Some
time after he gained conciousness
and crawled into the front yard and
rang his door-bell, when the hostler
let him in. Footprints of a bare-
footed person were found near the
house. Patrick Doherty, who had
been fined and sent to Jail on Satur-
day, and subsequently, released,
made threats against him. Officers
went to Doherty's home at 4 A. NJ
and took him out of bed. The foot
prints in the sand correspond to the
shape of Doherty's feet. Doherty
denies all knowledge of the assault,
but tells conflicting stories of his
whereabouts last night. Physicisns
all agree that DIR. link will die.

Family Poisoned.

CATAwTssA, Pa. Oct. 12-Samuel
Sweizert's whole family were poison
ed at Roaring Creek and two of the
children are dead. A can of Paris
green was found at the bottom of
the well with the tin rusted through
by the action of the water. How it
came there was at first mystery,
and for a time suspicious of foul
play were entertained, but it was at
last learned that last season the
farmer had used Paris green on This
farm and had left a small canister
containing the poison lying in the
barn near the well, and that two
weeks ago tho children had been
playing with it, and unsuspicious
of its contents, threw it into the
well. One of the children related
the story and dispelled all suspic-
ions of foul play.

A Brebdignngian Lily.

NFw YORK October 12.-The dis
play of fruits, flowers, plants and
vegetables at the American Institute
Fair, which ended last evening, was
the most successful exhibit made so
far and attracted a larger attendance
than on any former year. The gi-
ant lily, which is twenty feet high,
will bloom before the exhibition
closes. 1t will not bear another
for twenty years, at the end of which
time, as it is claimed that it grows
five inches every day. its height will
preclude its being exhibited in the
American Institute Fair of 1904, un-
less very rapid advance in the sci
ence of building has been made in
the meantime. The special show OF
scarlet and zonal pelargoniums will
commence on Wednesday and will
continue until Saturday.

CHICAGO, October 8.-Ten men
employed in the construction of the
new water tunnel for the village of
Hyde Park, south of this city were
drowned in plain view of the village
at six o'clock this morning. fifteen
men were employed upoI. t..e work
of sinking the tunnel and construct
ing a new crib at a point in Lake
Michigan one mile from Shore
Above the crib had been constructed
a platform forty feet square, sup
ported by poles bound together with
heavy chains. Upon the platform
had been built small cabin in
which the men slept and had their
meals, having lived there for the
past three weeks. The platform was
supported by heavy tilnbers resting
on poles. At about five o'clock the
sea became SO heavy that portions
of the platform were washed away.
The men awoke about 5 80 and
found the spray with every wave
washing the side of their hut. They
were not much alarmed and pro-
ceeded to get breakfast, which they
succeeded in eating. The storm
continued to increase in fury, and
finally great wave struck the cabin
and carried it fairly into the boiling
sea and with it every man upon the
frail structure. Twelve of the men
succeeded in climbing upon the
huge stringers, and lying face down,
with their arms around the beam,
they awaited the arrival ofassistance.
Every moment increased their dam
ger, and the waves with terrible
force, tore them one by one from
their anchorage until only eight re-
manned, In the meantime the crew
of the Chicago Life Saving Station
had been advised of their situation
and were dispatched to their rescue.
They arrived at the scene about
eleven O'Clock, and when they were
within throwing distance Line was
made fast by the drowning men tu
the timbers and made tight from
the boat. The eight survivors at
tempted the feat of working through
the surf to the boat. but only four
succeeded in making the journey
One of the men washed off succeed
