4 PERFECTLY USELESS SUGGESTION

u
The members Of the Democratic majority in
the Assembly are rendered an extraordinary
suggestion by one Of their own party organs
The organ is "The Buffalo Courier" and the
suggestion which it makes TO the Democratic
ASsemblymen is that in reaching Il decision on
the question Of the United States ScnatorShlp
they will "cXcrciSe their own judgment and
will act upon their own individual responsible
ity." This, We contend, is an extraordinary
suggestion "Thc Courier" might a. well Sug-
gcSt to water the propncty Of running up hill
as to suggest to the siXty-cight members of It's
party who are to be called upon to vote for u
successor 10 Mr.. Evarts that they discharge that
momentouS duty in accordance with their own
"iudgment' and their individual response

Mr. Dillon undoubtedly shows wisdom in re-
turning to France to lend hand in the nego-
tiations that arc in progress between OBrien
and Parnell. He still has hope of a satisfactory
settlement of the Irish difficulties and in order
TO give intelligent counsel he feels it necessary
to be nearer the scene of the trouble and in
direct communication with his colleagues. If
Mr. Dillon's hope is well founded, it is plain
that no time is to be lost. A truce has been
declared but any truce is temporary.

DROWNED BEFORE HER EYES.
Herbert Mapes' Mother a Helpless
Witness of His Death Struggle.
Tho Athletic CollegIan Lost In tho
Surf at Fire Island.


FIRE ISLAND, N. Y, Aug. 24.-The summer
colony here is In deepest gloom over a sad
drowning accident by which Herbert Mapes,
Columbias famous athlete, lost his life.
Herbert Mapes was twenty-four years old
and member OF the Columbia College class
OF 1892. He was drowned while bathing yes
terday with some OF his college chums, and
his agonized mother witnessed from the
beach the death struggle Of her son.
Young Mapes was q splendid athlete and
swimmer lie had ventured far out beyond
the life lines and beyond his companions
when he uttered cry for help and was seen
to struggle as II attacked by cramps.
DIR. Charles Jay Mapes, DIR. stratford and
Frederick Chesebrough had gone into the surf
with Herbert, and they made heroic efforts TO
reach him, as also did half dozen other
bathers.
But before the nearest swimmer had got
within twenty yards OF the athlete he sank
for the last time.
Mrs. Mapes, standing on the beach, wrung
her hands in helpless agony, and a sister OF
brave young Chesebrough screamed IN fear
for her brother, who made tremendous efforts
TO reach his chum.
Hotel, wnere the family are guests, by the
excitement, and Joined his wife just as Her.
bert went down. He offered $500 reward for
the recovery of the body, which has not yet
been recovered.
Herbert Mapes was the son OF C.. v. Mapes,
Vice President OF the Mapes Fertilizer Com
pany, OF this city. Mrs Mary Mapes Dodge,
editor OF 81 Nicholas, Is an aunt.
The drowned youth was one OF three
brothers who had many times carried the
blue and white OF Columbia TO victory In ath-
letic contests. Two years ago Herbert cap
tured the 100 and 220-yard hurdle races at
the intercollegiate championships, breaking
the records In both events. lie was captain
OF the athletic team for two years and one OF
the editors OF the Columbia Spectator.
Young Mapes is the fourth leading college
athlete 10 lose his life by drowning during the
past year.
Henry Q. Lamar, Princetons famous half
back, was drowned In Georgia while attempt
ing to save young woman companion.
Adelbert Shaw, Haryard's football player
and OarBman, vas drowned by the overturn-
ing Of his she'll and the sad story OF the

occurrcncc--to learn, II possible what was It's
actual cause whether It was an explosion or
the collapse OF the building. Afterwards,
when It Is known how many dead there are,
we will go on with the inquest"
Coroner Hnuley declined to express any
opinion whatever rs 20 the cause OF the
disaster. IL would be improper to do so, he
said, at the present time. The facts would
all come out In the evidence at the inquest.
Asked II be had noticed any clean brick
among the ruias or any other circumstance
which would indicate that the building had
collapsed by reason OF faulty construction,
aided by the jar and pounding OF the heavy
printing presses, the Coroner politely hut
firmly persisted in his refusal TO discuss the
matter.
The Coroner has been unremitting In his
attention to his duties, staying constantly at
the ruins In order to prevent delay in tho re-
moval OF bodies as they were cXtricated, and
to issue burial permits with the slightest in
convenience possible to the claimants OF the
dead.
Deputy Coroner Donlin has been on the
spot, with Coroner Hanley, since saturday.
He reported at the Coroner's of1ice this morn
ing, and at his request two physicians, Dr. II.
W. Paige, of 224 West Twenty-nfth street,
and DR.. Anthony Schneider, OF 19s Second
avenue, were sworn In TO assist DIR. Donlin.
Dr. Donlin returned TO the scene Of the dis
aster, and will remain on duty there until
night, when he viii be relieved by DR.. Paige,
who will remain until morning. DR.. Schnei-
der will perform DR.. Donlin's routine duties.
