A SPLIT IN NEW YORK.
The County Democracy Refuse to Make
Terms with their Rivals.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-The County con-
vention of the County Democracy was
held this afternoon in Chickerlng hall
When the convention routine had been
attended to committees Of conference from
Tammany and Irving halls entertained
the convention and Gen. Spinola for Tam
many, and Timothy j. Campbell, for Irving
hall, stated their stands and retired. The
resolutions of their respective 0rganiza-
tions, as presented, were referred TO the
conventions committee on resolutions,
which soon reported back declining any
interest with living hall or Tammany.
THE RIVAL ORGANIZATIONS.
The committees report affirmed the
conviction that the differences existing
between Tammany and the County De-
mOcracy should be settled and adjusted by
the Democratic voters OF the city of New
York, that it is for the interest Of the party
in the CITY and State that the constant
deals and disgraceful trades between rival
county conventions and their favored
candidates should cease, that in Tam
many bosses rule, while in the county Or
ganizatiOn every Democrat could speak,
that with Tammany the interests of the
organization take precedence of the in
terests of the party, that the issue with
Tammany must be met and decided, and,
therefore,
Reso1eed, That we deem it improper and
ineXpedient 10 have any conference with any
convention whatever.
THE REPORT ADOPTED.
The report on resolutions was adopted
Irving hall having been entirely ignored
with respect to any mention in the re-
port. The convention then nominated a
full ticket, Judge Barrett and Sedgwick
for reelection to the Supreme and Superb
or Courts, Police Justice Patterson for
the Common Pleas Bench, Justice A. j.
White for Sheriff, Patrick keenan, for
County Clerk, for City Courts Judgeship5

FRANKLIN Township, Pa. the scene of a
Triple Fatal Tragedy.

FRANKLIN Township, Pa. the Scene of a
Triple Fatal Tragedy.
PTrTsBURG, PA, Oct. 12.-News has
just reached here Of a terrible triple
tragedy in a lonely and unfrequented pOr-
tion of franklin township. Saturday
night, Valentine Pfeffer, young German
farmer, and man named Mcdonald, went
to the cabin of Zacharias Wright, occu-
pied by Wright and his wife, daughter
and two sons. The two visitors began
beating ON the door and call
ing Mrs. Wright and her daughter vile
names. Failing to break down the door
Mcdonald went to the rear OF the house
and attempted to enter through a window.
KILLED IN THE WINDOW.
When half way in he was caught and
stabbed in the neck by one of the Wright
brothers, the cut reaching from the right
ear to the jugular vein. This was fol-
lowed by second stab in the breast. Nc
Donald fell back lifeless. Pfeffer then
drew his revolver and began firing into
the house. The second shot struck Adam
Wright in the breast and the third in the
face. The fourth shot struck his brother
Solomon, who had sprung to catch Adam,
in the left side. Pfeffer then disappeared
and has not been seen since. The re.
mainder of the Wright family quickly
summoned doctors, who pronounced both
brothers fatally injured. The tragedy
grew out OF a quarrel at a former meet
ing, when Pfeffer had been roughly han.
died by the Wright brothers after insult
ing their sister.

for Mulcting the Press.
CHATTANOOGA, Oct. l2.-An interest
ing newspaper libel suit Of general inter-
est was disposed of in the United States
Circuit Court to-day, Judge d. NJ. Key,
ex-Postmaster General presiding. The
suit was against the Chattanooga Daily
Times to recover $4,000, alleged dam
ages to Alvin O. Dixon, Tax Collector Of
Blount county, Ala, who was referred TO
as having disguised himself with burnt
cork and attempted TO burglarize
his own house, but being detected
by his wife, who did not recOg-
nize him, was shot ana killed. The
story was totally untrue. The Times
acknowledged the libelous character OF
the article, but in mitigation OF the
damages proved they had no Rcquaiut-
ance with Dixon; that the item was taken
from other papers, though published as
original, and that as soon as they learned
the story was untrue they made proper
correction. The trial has taken up four
days Of the court. Eminent counsel from
Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee were
engaged in the suit. Judge Key gave an
able and progressive construction OF the
laws relating 10 libol in favor Of tho news
paper, and the jury, after few moments
consideration, gave the plaintiff So
damages. Dixon has also suits pending
against several Alabama papers.

in Cincinnati vigorous efforts have been
made by a non-partisan committee to de-
ieet and punish frauds in registration.
Their efforts reveal startling CRIME in this
direction. They have prepared and
printed to-day list of 1,400 fraudulently
registered names, and they say they have
i no doubt there are 5000 names that should
have appeared on this fraudulent list If a
closer scrutiny could have been given. No
arrests have yet been made. There is no
