THE WINTER CONVENTION.
Empire Democrats Will Not Pledge
- Delegates to Senator Hill.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. Ex-senator
Hill is in happy frame of mind, and
protests that there is nothing new and
that everything is running as smoothly
as could possibly be. 1t is not believed
that delegates at large have been chosen,
and many names are mentioned, among
which are Worlds Fair Commissioner
John Boyd Thatcher, of Albany; Ed
ward Murphy, of Troy; Hugh McLaugh-
lin, of Brooklyn ex-Secretary of State
Cook, of Rochester; ex-Congresslnau
Perry Belmont, Of New York; Richard
Croker, of New York, and Mayor Boody,
of Brooklyn, and of these the most
likely four are Murphy, Croker, Boody
and Thatcher.
There is every indication that the con-
vention ceremonies will be hurried
through, and that five or six hours will
fiji ish the whole thing. AS is usual,
Chairman Edward Murphy, of tho state
committee called the convention to
order at noon.
A recess of an hour will be taken, and
each congressional district will meet
and select its delegates to the national
convention. Upon reassemblin2 the con
ventiou will ratify the recess work and
proceed to elect delegates at large. FOL
lowing that resolutions indorsing the
administration of David B. Hill will be
adopted and a committee sent to bring
Mr.. Hill before the convention. The
ex-governor is likely TO make brief adj
dress to the convention, and then, with
out binding the delegates to any one
man, the convention will adjourn. The
state committee will be empowered by
lIItt ions tF tf1i lttta fD..
judge of the court of appeals, so us 10
do away with any fall convention in the
state.
A committee representing the oppo-
nents of the convention called on the
state committee this morning but, us
they had expected, received no satisfac-
ton. Among the most prominent MEM
bers of the opposition here are; Charles
S. Fairchild' 5 eA-assistant secretary of the
treasury, f. Ellcry Anderson; eN-Mayor
Grace, Edward b. Whitney, Colonel
Robert G. Muuroe and Secretary Law
renee r. Sexton, of the New York com
mittce Of fifty, who arrived Saturday
night The balance of the New York
aud Brooklyn delegation arrived this
morning. There are between 200 and
500 Of them.
The opposition will hold meeting at
| Union hall this afternoon while the
other convention is in session. Ex-
| Mayor Grace is the most enthusiastic
| Of the opposition men here. lie SAID to
the United Press representative:
| "We are not blntfing. Our numbers
may not be large, and we may look
weak beside the convention delegates,
but we are strong in the state. Our pro-
test meeting will be in the nature Of a
consultation. You not be surprised if
we appoint state committee and call
primaries throughout the state for the
purpose of electing delegates to a new
state convention that will fairly repre-
sent the people of this state and not q
ono man power. Our ground for pro-
| testing viii be that such machine way
of running politics is decidedly un-
American. The convention may meet
about May 4" '...

20 ... .-a.,ea in pursuit. Near
ne canal bridge between Newark and
Lyons the fugitive saw that the light
engine pursuing would soon overtake
his heavier one, so he stopped his engine,
reversed it and flew down the track to
meet his pursuers. They saw him COM
ng and got down in the bottom of the
cab. As he passed the robber fired two
shots. while the swtchman discharged
one barrel Of his gun at the swiftly pass
ing engine. The shots of neither pur-
sRers nor pursued, however, took effect
and the conductor reversed his engine
and backed after the fleeing fugitive.
Again the desperate reversed his engine
and came toward those who were SO
botly pursuing them. Again the shots
of the desperate man rang out, and, as
before, the balls passed through the
window Of the cab and whistled harm
lessly over the heads of those crouching
at the bottom of it, while the switchman
fired his last shot.
The men on the pursuing engine held
n council of war, and concluded that
furtheratteinpt at pursuit and capture
of the fobber would be worse than mad
ness, so they backed their engine back 10
Lyons.
The fugitive kept on, but soon found
that his steam was giving out, and at
Blue Cut, about two and half miles
east of Newark, he deserted the engine
and ordered the switchman stationed at
the cut, at the point Of his revolver, to
take the engine back to Lyons, and the
command was quickly obeyed.
The Robbcr Captured.
Meantime Chief Hayden, of the Ro-
chester deDartmpDt had rome To the
scene on special engine, accompanied
by Detectives Furtherer, Kavanaugh
and Lapointe. AT Blue Cut there was
no trace of the robber, of course, but
they followed clew that led them to
the house of Farmer Goetzmen. There
they learned that the fleeing robber had,
at the point of revolver, taken horse
from the farmer, saying he was de-
tective in pursuit Of a robber. The de-
tectives followed in pursuit, and at tho
house of Farmer Beal, four miles fur
thor, learned that the fellow had got a
fresh horse by the same tactics.
The trail was followed, and it was
finally discovered that he had left his
horse and took to the woods. Here the
pursuers surrounded him and closed in
on him. He was found hiding behind a
stone wall, and offered no resistance.
lie was taken to Lynn and placed in
the Wayne county Jail. He claims to
be William Cross, of Mexico, but the
officers believe he is Perry, the man
| wanted for the Utica express robbery a
| few montb< ago. He is apparently
25 years old. He was armed to the
| teeth. He had three revolvers, one ol
| them o very heavy one, and had on @
belt filled with cartridges.

ernor Fleming today received, on behalf
of the state, full sized oil portrait Of

the portrait is letter signed by Chaun-

services in opposing the force bill. The
letter concludes:
"On no field of battle, at no dread
moment in the whole history of our
race, were the essential liberties of the
people ever more clearly ut stake or ever
more gallantly rescued.
Between the noble men who, by their
devoted and splendid service on this oc-
casion, raised for all time the character
of the American senate, and after
long, arduous, and desperate struggle
averted the deadly stroke, we have no
wish to distinguish. But among them
among the foremost, the most resolute,
the most vigilant, the most efficient, in
place the most difficult and trying,
where the smallest error might have
been fatal-was Charles James Faulk-
ner, the young senator of West Virginia"

They saw the flames draw nearer and
nearer; saw the bowsprit bend under
the weight of the two forms, saw the
frantic motions of the couple for help,
and at last saw them fall, clasned in one
long last embrace into the icy waters.
Ii was many minutes before the men
on the steMnor spoke word. There
were tears on the weather beaten cheeks
Of more than one of the crew, and their
hearts We're sad. Captain Irwin kept the
vessel steering about the burning hulk,
and did not leave the scene until s
O'clock the next morning. How many
lives were lost is not and never will be
known. Tho lost vessel is supposed to
be the oil laden bark Lodinia which

Only Six Volunteers.

There were not brave men enough
aboard to go to the rescue. Only three
came forward, The rest We're towards.
They hung back, afraid to risk their
lives. To man a boat in such sea
would require about at least fourteen
men. Six could no more control life
boat than could six infants, but they
tried it, nevertheless. The three officers
and three men launched their boat, but
the effort was useless. Their frail craft
was bufIeted about by the waves and
wind until they were exhausted. They
were drawn back on deck just as tile
boat filled and sank.
During this time the. unknown vessel
burned like furnace. The flames ate
through the bowsprit. Man and wife
saw their danger and with one last cry
called 10 those on the steamer to help
them. They were beyond help.

Tho Captain and His Wife.

The persons on the bowsprit were
made out to be a very large man and a
much smaller person, both dressed in
sailors attire. The former was the cap
tain of the burning vessel and the latter
was his wife. Not another soul was on
board. The crew had taken their choice
between dying by fire OF water, ana they
chose the latter. They had leaped over
board and found quick death. The
captain and his brave wife stood by the
ship until the last, hoping against hope
thaS they would be saved. They had
retreated along the bowsprit as the
flames crept nearer and nearer.
When the Egyptian Monarch came
alongside the wife was clinging to her
husband, her arms clasped about his
neck. He clung to the bowsprit and
moved along inch by inch. As if to add
to the misery of the terrible occasion, a
furious squall sprang up and large hail
stones beat down on the unprotected
sailor and his wife. First Officer Bing-
ham, Second Officer Jordan and Third
officer Kay were excited. Kay, who is
u brave man, called out: "NVho will
man boat with me and go to the res
