TO-DAY'S CONVENTION. Y

TO-DAY'S CONVENTION
For the third time Judge Carey will in
all probability be rendered the Republican
nomination for delegate in congress at the
territorial convention to be held at II
o'clock this morning. 1t seems to be
altogether a question of availability.
There has been a good deal of log rolling
in the past few days, more particularly
since the return Ut Ex-Governor Warren.
Quite a good deal has been said about
sacrifices for the party, but strange as 1t
may appear nobody has seemed particu-
larry inclined to sacrifice himself although
disposed to look with feelings of cheerful
resignation on the sacrifice of anyone
else.
The position of Judge Carey is alleged
now to be that he will accept nothing
short of a unanimous tender Of the nom
nation. 1t is believed he will accept hat
Since Nh. Organ came to the front the
the disposition of the western delegates is
to chime in with the Carey sentiment and
put up a Cheyenne man in opposition.
Judge NJ. G. Brown did not reach here
last night with the Laramie delegation,
but will be on hand this morning to &C
cept the situation in case of a n emerg-
ency. Judge Brown is said to
ache for an opportunity to
saturate the national halls OF
legislation with his lurid ~eloquence. 1t
seems altogether a question Of availability
at this particular moment, Laramie
would like very much to be honored with
the nomination, and Judge Carey, in re-
Spouse to this local sentiment, very unc-
tuously patted Judge Brown on the back
in his speech a few days ago. The Lara
mic delegation, however, are disposed to
take a back seat. For a wonder they are
not wanting anything, although Judge
Brown would probably be their choice if
they did. Some of the number favor
G.. d. Clark, Of Evanston, in the event of
Judge Carey's declination, but this does
not seem even a reasonable contingency
The Judge has become so accustomed to
high life in Washington that he is not
now disposed to let go his grip on it. At
the capital city he can meet a more ex-
tended range of culture and intellectually
than he could hope to find in the untu-
tored West. For the past three years he
has been in the very vortex of Washing
tons social brilliancy, and the intellectual
life of Wyoming must seem stale and arid
in comparison. 1t is therefore believed
that Judge Carey cannot settle down,
without a sigh of discomfort, to humdrum
Western life.
The convention expects to vote for him
and in return expect him to accept the
honor.

The Republican county commissioner
nomination is still being held as a conso-
lation prize for some one who played him
self for a favorite in the convention and
was found at the distance pole at the end
of the race. Mr.. Gannett's name is still
swinging TO the breeze although his for
NAL and positive declination was rendered
several days ago. Somehow there doesn't
seem to be any overwhelming anxiety
manifested anywhere 10 accept this politi-
cal consolation prize.

Accident On the Elevated.

New York, Sept. 27.-[Special Telegram
to THE BEE. IA locomotive ran into the
rear car of train on the elevated road at
Ninth avenue and Sixty-ffth street last
night, knocking the truck from under the
car and throwing the truck into the street.
The accident was due to the delay of an
empty train in getting on switch out of the
Way of crowded passenger train bound up
town, whose locomotive ran into the rear
empty car. Both trucks, weighing over a
ton each, were wrenched off and thrown into
the street. An iron girder prevented the
empty car from falling to the street. 1t lay
on its side. The first car of the passenger
train was also thrown from the track, but
the iron railing Of the passenger walk and
the strong coupling kept it and its load of
passengers from falling to the street. The
passengers were thrown together while the
car stood on the edge, but none of them were
found to be seriously hurt. Several of them
were slightly bruised. The fireman of the
empty train was thrown against the door of
the furnace and had his leg injured. Quite
panic prevailed among the passengers for
"a while,

MORE BEDELLISM.
The Counsel For the New York Pro-
duce Exchange is Crooked.

New York, Sept. 27-The following state
ment over the signature of Alexander +.
Orr, president of the produce exchange, was
posted on the floor of the exchange at 3 80
o'clock this afternoon;
To the Members of the Gratuity Fund
Gentlemen: Yesterday afternoon it came to
the knowledge of the trustees of the gratu-
lty fund that Counsel William X. Foster, jr.,
was suspected Of having committed similar
frauds TO those practiced by Bedell in the
Office of Shpman, Barlow Larocque Il
Choate. An investigation proved this to be
the case The register Of New York has
pronounced thirteen mortgages, aggregating
Sl6S, 900, as having fraudulent certificates OF
registration. The investigation Is still going
on and the members OF the exchange will be
advised of further developments. Last
evening the Pinkerton detective agency was
employed to arrest William Il. Foster, jr.,
but as yet no report has been received from
them
This statement was not complete sur
prise to the members of the exchange. F'os-
ter, who had long been legal counsel for the
the exchange, had not been seen about there
since last Tuesday evening. He went away
then saying that he would be back next
morning. He enjoyed the implicit o lfdence
of his associates.
Foster is u brother of James p. Foster,
president of the national league of republi-
can clubs, and the latter was formerly the
junior partner of the firm. The system
which has been employed to perpetrate the
fraud is understood to have been similar to
and even more intricate than the scheme Of
the swlndler Bedell. The notary whose sig
nature purports to be attached to the fraudu-
lent mortgages is an attache of Foster &
Wentworth's Office, and he denies having
written it, A similarity has been discovered
between the writing of Foster and the clerk.
Foster is man of about forty years of age
and is unmarried. He lived expensively, but
not beyond the income which he received.

Mr.. Wentworth, Fosters partner, said
that the latter was the last man he would
have suspected of doing such deed. He

Bishop Ire,and's Elevation.

ST. PAUL, Sept 21.-To-day John Ireland,
who has been identified with the church in
this city for thirtyseven years, received the
pallium and was elevated to the archbishop
ric of the province of st. Paul. The cere-
mony took place at 1880. A few minutes be-
fore that time Archbishop Ireland, attired in
his robes of Office and attended by the clergy,
left the archepiscopal residence adjoining the
cathedral, and proceeded to the sanctuary.
Immediately upon the arrival of the
distinguished prelate, pontiticll high
mass was celebrated by the Rt.
Rev. Bishop Marty, of Yankton,
Oak. The pallium was conferred upon the
archbishop ut the close OF the mass by Rt
Rev. Bishop Grace, and the ceremony was
followed by a sermon delivered by Rt. Rev.
j. j. Kane, bishop of Richmond, Va, and
rector of the new Catholic university at
Washington, ID. G.. Shortly after the close
of the ceremony at the cathedral the clergy
were escorted to the Hotel Ryan, >whcrc
dinner was served.
Tonight the streets are brilliantly illumin-
ated, and the new archbishop is holding a
formal reception to invited guests. Great in
terest in the events of the day have been
manifested by the general public, Archbishop
Ireland being held in high esteem by every
body.

The Great Cornell nRuSI,.S

ITHACA, N. Y, Sept. 27.-- Special Telegram
to The BEE. Last evening the freshmen to
the number of 400 marched through the city
giving their class yell, which the sophomores
quickly followed, making the city ring with
their cry. Afterl he preliminaries were ar
ranged the classes met in fierce combat in
the city park. Four freshmen and an equal
number of sophomores grasped hickory
stick and an upper lassman gave the signal
to begin. Then followed a wild struggle
lasting nearly two hours. The followers of
the respective classes closed in around the
cane dragging their opponents to the rear and
striving IN every way to keep strong men
from the stick. The seniors cheered on the
sophomores, while the juniors protected their
especial charges, the freshmen. The dense
mass of 500 students swayed to and fro, and
the air was filed with cries of "On, fresh
men," go in there, '9l." Clothes were torn
hats stamped under foot and heads jammed
together in n general mass. The cane was
finally won by the freshmen, who immedi-
ately formed in line and marched through
the city in triumph. There was no nterfer-
ence by the faculty or city police.

THE UTAH COMMISSION.
The Minority Report Filed With the
Secretary Of the InteriOr


WAsnINGToN. Sept 27.-Two of the five
members of the Utah commission, John Nc
Clernand and A. B. Carlton, have fled with
the secretary of the interior minority re-
port. They also submitted a minority report
last year. The report received to-day says
Reform in Utah is progressing favorably--
far beyond our most sangulnc expectations
Utah is forging to the front among the
Rocky mountain states and territories, and
may be compared favorably with any of them
III the enterprise of her cltZCns, richness of
her mines and fiourishing condition of her
cities and towns. a great deal of capital is
being invested in Utah by non Mormons
in city lots, farming lands and mining
property. Such investments are as safe
there as in any state or territory; that is to
say, there Is not the slightest danger of in
surrectton, nor in our opinion, is there any
danger of adverse legislation that will
jeopardize personal security or property
rights. Apart from sexual offenses, which are
decidedly on the decrease. the Mormon peo-
pie of Utah will compare favorably with
other communities for peace, good order, so
briefly, honesty and industry.
The commissioners say that in their opin-
ion the great majority of the Mormon people
have wisely resolved that the practice of po-
lygamy should be abandoned. The commits
soners are adverse to any further restrictive
legislation by congress, believing that the
present laws are sufficiently stringent and
will accomplish all that can be reasonably
required of legal coercion.

An Important Question Settled.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.--First Comptroller
Dunham has decided an important point aris-
ing out of the act making appropriations for
improvement of rivers and harbors. 1t is in
substance that the appropriations made in that
act are specific in their character, and can be
drawn upon from time to time until exhausted
or the object for which they were made shall
have been accomplished. The decision is
based upon questions raised by the acting
secretary of war as to whether the unex-
pended balance of appropriations for the
operation of snag boats, removal of snags,
gauging of waters and surveys in the Missis-
sippi river would lapse into the treasury
after the expiration OF the present fiscal year.
The comptroller holds that the river ana har-
Dor appropriations are not annual appropria-
tions, and that their expenditure is not re-
stricted TO any particular time.

turned 10 his home to-day after two and
half years soiourn in Pennsylvania prison,
held sort of informal levee in his residence

"Well, good came out of 1t after all. 1t was
my case which emphasized the barbarity OF
the Pennsylvania criminal law and since my
Imprisonment, thank God, it has been abol-
ished 1t had been on the statute books for

testify in his own behalf. In my case they
indicted all the witnesses for tie defence on

armed force on our land, and another one of
our men, both of whom were tried after the
passage of the new law, were acquitted on
precisely the same evidence rs that on which

Weston, pointing to his wife. 'Shc held the
contested ground herself alone against all

when the fight took place, but they would
not let her testify, although she saw it all.

am not making any threats / am going to see
to my rights if have any"
