But Congressman Flower is Still Far

NEW YORK, Sept. 13-The delegates to
the democratic state convention this week
have all been elected and there is no doubt
now that majority of the members are
committed to the nomination of Congress-
man Flower. Nevertheless, Boss Nc
Laughlin OF Brooklyn is going to Saratoga

A report has been spread abroad
that 1t is possible ex-Secretary Whitney
may be nominated as a compromise candi-
date. If Mr.. Whitney would consent to
the use OF his name or if he had consented
last spring, it is quite likely that all the
factions of the democracy would have
gladly united in rendering nim the nomina-
tion. But he would not even listen to the
proposition. He could have been made
senator last winter, in fact, Gov. Hin was
anxious to give him that honor, but he de-
clared that his business interests would not
permit him to exhibit any political activity
at present.
The shrewdest politicians still think that
Gov. Hill expects to see the convention
deadlocked, and to receive the nomina-
ton himself, on the plea that bis name
alone is powerful enough to break the dead
lock.

amount of whisky was sold by a blind

were called out and came well armed, as the
negroes were congregating on every corner
and in droves, assuming very beIgerent
attitude. The blind tiger owrer resisted
arrest, but was safely landed in jail. The
citizens went in every direction hunting re-
cruits and arms. Serious trouble was appre-
hended. The governor wired to send troops
from Macon. Runners we're sent out
through the surrounding country for more
men. The negroes held meeting at their
church, and one negro stated to a gentle
man that they were coming 200 strong TO
protect the negro arrested, as they fear he
would be mobbed.

the receipt of the resolutions adopted
at the meeting of the Italo. Amer

exhloltlon, and that in answer the Italian
ministry says that Sin pursuance of a
principle adpted long ago the
Italian government declined to off,
clally participate in any interna-
tional exhibition; that for that reason
the government declined the invitation to
officially participate in the French exhibi-
ton, held in Paris in 1889, and
that the refusal to be officially
represented at the Columbian exhibi-
tion is in consequence of said rule,
never departed from, which should not be in
terpreted as an act OF hostility toward that
great enterprise or an effort to prevent
Italians from exhibiting. That, on the con-
trary. the government wished the success of
the Columbian exhibition, has given the
widest publicity to the invitation of its
committee and will do all in its power to
assist such Of its citizens as desire to exhibit,

the sessions Of the two houses have been at
times bordering on the sensational, much
important business has been trans-
acted. The moro important bills passed
30 far have been one appropriat-
ing S25, 900 per year for the maintenance of
an efficient military force for the purpose Of
aiding the civil authorities in upholding the
law and revision Of the election laws. The

penitentiary and providing funds has been
adopted by the joint committee of the
two houses and rscomme 7ded for pass
age. The latter bill will be brought
up in both houses next Tuesday, but 1t is
the general impression that the whole mat

assembly ia elected. The governor will be
empowered to return the convicts to
Briceville, but nothing will be done
toward the proposed investigation of the
conduct of Labor Commissioner Ford and
Assistant Labor Commissioner Alleman

important bills killed was that levying a

into 1t perfectly. The other rail, on the
contrary, is V-shaped, and the wheels that
engage with it are simply rollers. As
consequence of the rocking motion of the
horse ON the supports the carriage rolls to
certain extent upon rails, carrying along
the ratchet, which slides along the rack,
placed between the rails. If the impetus
has been sufficient to make the ratchet
advance the distance comprised between
two teeth, its extremity, engaging with
another tooth, prevents the system from
moving backward in the rocking motion in
the opposite direction, but if this result
fails the horse simply returns to the start
ingpoint. 1t is thought that owing to this
little artifce the sport will assume some
interest, and that people will soon be, if they
are not already, betting heavily on these
singular racers

A COMPLETE LIGHTING PLANT

Fortune Awaits tho Genius Who VIII Fur

A correspondent Of leading electrical
Journal calls the attention of electrical
manufacturers to the fact that no adequate
provision has been made for certain classes
of people who would be only too glad to
avail themselves Of electric lighting if they
could obtain the necessary current. What
is wanted is a complete plant for say from
Is to so incandescent lamps. 1t should in
clude the gas engine, the dynamo and the
necessary shafting and belts, all ready to
set up and run. It is suggested that if some
company wilftak this matter in hand, con-
duct the needful experiments, give the
public the facts, keeping well within
bounds as to the actual facts and cost, then
make a specially of manufacturing and set
ting up such plants, the commercial outlook
for such an undertaking would be one of
great promise.
