FLOWER FOR GOVERNOR.
Now York Democrats Will Hun Him
Against Collector Fassctt

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. is.-Roswell
I. Flower secured the nomination for
Governor from the State Democratic
convention without such O desperate
struggle after all. The vote in his
favor was so overwhelming on the first
ballot that the adherents Of
Mayor Chaplin, of Brooklyn, were
obliged to fall into line with as
much grace as they could command,
and the name of Mr.. Fowler adorns
the top of the ticket by unani-
nous consent
Nearly all the other names on the
ticket were placed there by acclama-
tion-a work which occupied but little
time
WILDER F. Porter of Watertown
nominated Mr.. Fowler.
John L. Fellows, on behalf of New
York city, seconded the nomination,
and said the enthusiasm with which
Mr. Flowers name was received left
no doubt of the reclamation with
which it would be received through
out the State.
Mayor Chaplin of Brooklyn was put
in nomination by Mr.. Dewitt, who in
his remarks said that Kings county
would support the ticket nominated by
the convention, but If defeated would
retire with that sullen, surly temper
that would dash the action of the
party. (The sentence was broken by
yclls and hisses.)
Bourke Cochran hurried to the plat
form amid excitement and denounced
what he had, heard as a suggestion of
treachery. He appealed to all to put
the interest of the party and of the
country uppermost
Cochran was ut one time prevented
from continuing his remarks on ac-
count of yelling, presumably from the
chaplin side, and when these demon
STATIONS subsidized Cochran remarked,
~ suppose this Is the first exhibition
OF surly temper on your part" refer
ring to the Chaplin men.
Roll-can was then taken. Flower
had everything until Kings county was
reached. Tho SO votes OF that county
were cast for Chaplin. Before the
Flower votes began again Queens
county cast for c ,apin and for
Flower. The roll-call resulted:
Flower, 334; Chaplin, AZ. There was
applause,
Chairman Adams of Kings county
moved to make the nomination unani-
nous. Gen. Catlin seconded the mo-
ton and 1t was carried without dissent
William +. Sheehan of Erie was
nominated for lieutenant-governor by
reclamation and the ticket completed
in the same manner as follows For
treasurer, Elliott F. Danforth of Che
mango; for secretary of State, Frank
Rice of Ontario; for attorney general,
Simon Rosendale of Albany; for comp
trollcr, Frank Campbell of Steuben;
for engineer and surveyor, Martin

master II an Racine.
CHICAGO. Sept l6.-E. A. Hughes,
the missing Woodlawn ex-postmaster,
has been found. Almost multan-
eously with the arrival of a postoffice
inspector to look after the accounts of
the Woodlawn postoffice Mr.. Hughes
father received message from rela-
tives at Racine, Wis, asserting
that Mr.. Hughes was in that city
Mr.. Hughes, ST., said that his son
some time ago cut his hand severely,
and since that time has been subject
to periodical spells of mental aberra-
ton. He could give no other reason
for the -postmaster's sudden flight.
Hughes disappeared last Thursday
morning. He had with him when he
left home Sl25, which he took from the
rostoffite. Early Thursday morning
hughes arose. counted his money, and
attached bay horse to his buggy. He
then took n shotgun and told his wife
he was going to Lake Calumet TO visit
relatives. Friday he did not return, and
Mrs Hughes, tecoming alarmed,
sent to her relatives at Lake Calumet,
who replied that hughes had not been
there. Mrs Hughes at once went to
the police with description of her
husband. The Woodlawn Office has no
connection with the local postoffice,
and Col Sexton docs not know any
thing of the condition of hughes ac-
counts. There is as yet no reason to
believe there is shortage beyond the
$685.

BALMACEDA HAS ESCAPED.
The Deposed Gillian Tyrant Snug
glcd ON Board ship In DIsguise.

VALPAR Also, Chile, Sept 16.-Balma-
ceda has escaped from the clutches of
his enemies, and is now safe on the
high seas under the protection of the
United States flag. All the time the
soldies of the Junta were guarding the
snowy passes of the Andes to prevent
his getting int the Argentine Repub-
lie, and the police of the new provis-
ional government were searching the
monasteries in and around Santiago
for the fugitive ex-President h was
hiding in this city.
Here he was more apt to escape de-
lection than anywhere else, for his op-
ponents never dreamed that he would
dare to return to Valparaiso. they
being assured he had fed from it.
Balmaceda chose his refuge wisely,
for he was enabled to throw himself
upon the mercy of Admiral Brown. of
the flagship San Francisco, and beg to
be saved from the revenge he feared
from his foes.
After remaining in hiding for fort
night the deposed President, disguised
as a drunken sailor was smuggled on
board the United States flagship, which
sailed northward Yesterday. 1t is
thought he will be landed at Callao
To effect the ex-Presidents escape it
was decided to have Balmaceda dis
guise himself as drunken United
States sailor. The clothing was sent
ashore in a market boat last night by
order of Admiral Brown. 1t was
smuggled by one of Balmaceda's faith
full adherents into the house where the
ex-Presiden: was in hiding. He ca re-
fully donned it, and after q close in
spection of his new and strange attire
to see that there was nothing about the
get up, which would arouse suspicion,
he stole ont by rear entrance into
the street. Nightfall favored his dis
guise and he had studied his part so
well that he feigned drunken tar to
perfection. In his way toward the
water front he rolled by many men
who would have been delighted to have
had the chance to seize and turn him
over to the police authorities.
In time he reached the spot in the
harbor that had been arranged upon.
There he found boat awaiting him.
1t was manned by sturdy United States
man-of- wars-men. Dalmaccda, still
maintaining his disguise, made his
final drunken stumble and fell into
the boat. 1t was pushed off at once
and in a short time the ex-Presiueut,
all signs of inebriety a. an end,
climbed swiftly mp the ropes and was
saved. He went at once to one of the
cabins aft of the San Francisco and did
not again show himself above deck
That part of the vessel was reserved
solely for its prom nent guest. No
body was allowed to visit his cabin,

EDUCATION OF deaf mutes has pro-
ceeded In late years along scientific
lines that have produced phenomenal
results. As nature compensates the
blind with unusual music faculty, she
provides the deaf with exceptional
sense Of form and touch. Concurrent

conveyed In part through the sign
language and in part by articulation,
mutes are from the beginning of their
schooling taught to model in clay, to
design for large numbers of special

and silver. The cultivation of their

MADRID, Sept 1.-THE floods which
have caused SO much damage and which
are already known to have resulted in
the loss of thousands of lives have been

damage done is simply terrible in it's
extent. Several railroad trains have
been derailed and railroad tracks and

donations. The wine and grain crops
have been destroyed throughout the
flooded sections of the country.
An estim ate classed as moderate
one and which is within rather than
over the actual number places the
total of the death list at 1000.
Large numbers of corpses still rest
where they were found. Unless they
are soon inferred an epidemic of fever
is feared.
Sorrow and privation. mourning and
desolation are to be met with every

vinces and from one end of Spain to
the other. rayers are uttered for the
dead and collections are being taken
up for the living.
Unhappily the worst is not vet

the utterly impoverished survivors.
The extreme distress has another

gripings of hunger, the wailing of
starving women and children, have, in
several instances, driven the men to
desperation and they have been goad-
