BE and Those That Were.
SYRACUSE, n. Y, Sept 27.-The Peoples
Party State Convention was called to order
in this city to-day by Henry A. Hickes, of
New York City Chairman Hickes read an
address, followed by the platform of prin-
ciples, which denounced the action of the
Governor of this State in calling out at the
demand of the railroad corporations the en-
tire military force of the State for the pur-
pose of overswing the 475 swItchmen who
were on strike, and states that they believe
the strike of the switchmen was simply q
pretext for this display of force, and that
the true reason for it was to serve notice on
organized workmen that in any conflict with
organized capital, no matter how just its
cause, the whole power of the State was at
the disposal of the latter.
Three resolutions were offered, one de-
clarlng that the railroads of the State had
forfeited their franchises; the second de-
nounced Governor Flower for vetoeing the
canal appropriation for the improvement of
navigation; denounced Chauncey NJ. Depew,
for making secret, wanton, freight rate
determinations; and the third resolution
denounced the monopolies which had been
organized and extended under the admins
trations of Cleveland and Harrison, re-
ferring particularly to the Reading Coal
Combine and Standard Oil Trust

1t Takes a Cloudburst Ten Minutes to In
undate a Georgia Town.
BRUNSWICK, GA, Sept 27.-Brunswick
was visited this morning by cloudburst
and terrific electric storm that damaged
$40, 600 worth of property, filled several
streets with water four feet deep, penned
the citizens in their homes and stores and
threatened to inundate an entire block of
three-story brick houses
This morning lightning struck the Ogle-
thorpe, Hotel, damaging it $50. Imme-
diately after this stroke the cloudburst tell,
and in ten minutes time the streets were
foot deep in water. Rain fell in such tor
rents, the sky was so dark, the wind so
fierce and driving that every store was
closed. Two street cars attempted to get
back to the stables, but ,foated off the
track, the drivers cutting the mules loose
and landing themselves as best they could.
The lumber yards had lumber drifting away
in stacks. Railroad tracks were washed up
in the city and cars overturned. Nine bar
rooms and several dance halls, barber shops
and billiard saloons are under water. The
occupants of the stores and offices on New
Castle street go to their business in boats
and teams. The fire department headquar-
tiers is under water, and every public Office
is cut off from approach.

NEW CURE FOR CANCERS.

The InocuIation Treatment Tried With Sue
cess in One Instance Further Investiga-
ton Under Way by Two of the Leading
Physicians of New York.
NEW YORK, Sept N.-[Special IA
man and woman are now undergoing
treatment for cancer by a new method in the
cancer hospital. This disease has always
been regarded as incurable, and it
the new method which is
being tried in these two cases
proves success, it will revolutionize one
branch of surgery The new cure is on the
incubation principle. Of late years it has
been suspected that cancer, like consump-
tion and smallpox, is the result of the in
vasion of the human body by specific
germ. It was noted by medical men that
erysipelltic conditions were prevalent with
cancerous conditions.
The line of reasoning developed the
hypothesis that the erysipelas person was
the element of cancerous disease, and it was
but step further to reason that inocula-
tion of the patient with the cultiva-
tion of this person would cure the
disease. The cultivation is said to be ef-
fected by the usual methods in sterllized
gelatine, by which are produced the bacte-
ria which destroy the death-dealing power
of the cancer bacteria. Such in brief is the
theory in which Drs. William T. Bull
and Coley are working at the cancer hos
pital.
The experiment has not gone far enough
yet to hazard any certain prediction whether
the hypothesis is we'll founded. 1t was only
in the latter part of July that the first
patient, woman, was selected upon whom
to try the new medical idea She was suf-
fering from carcinoma of the breast,
one of the multiform developments
of cancerous nature. The signs
or the disease have mostly
disappeared. Another case, that of a man,
is being tried at the same institution, but
the experiment has not as yet proceeded far
enough to ascertain what the result is likely
to be. The doctors in charge have done
everything possible to prevent the pub
lication of their researches in those cases,
which are said to be the first ever tried in
this country.

STILL AN OPEN QUESTION.

Connecticut's Supreme Court Won't De-
eide whether the General Assembly
Has Lost Its Power to Declare an Elec-
tion-A Decision on the Ballots in Dis
pute.
NEW HAVEN, CONN. Sept. 27.-The Su-
preme Court of the State filed its decision
in the quo warranto cases of Phelan versus
Walsh and Sanger versus Henry to-
day. A question whether the General
Assembly OF Connecticut has lost its power
to declare an election is passed by
without discussion. The Court says on this
point: "We purposely refrain from express
ing any opinion upon these points and wish
to have it distinctly understood that they
remain open questions" The different
classes of ballots in dispute are discussed,
summarized, is as follows:
The Superior Court is advised that the
ballots rejected by the moderators, giving
no reason therefore and those rejected
,ior being double should be counted in
estimating the whole number of votes
be corrected; that the "for' ballots, SO
called, should be counted: that the folded
o. creased ballots in certain cases
should be rejected; that all the ballots
ItIeCNeu DcCduse ol III iO-
spect to the office of Probate Judge,
some of which were designated for one dis
trict and sent to another, and ballots with a
blank after the Office of Judge of Pro
bate, should be counted; that the 2SI
ballots in the town of Lftchheld.
upon which there was some controversy
because of irregularities in the spell
ing OF a name, are legal ballots and should
be counted; that the ballots in the town of
Lyme, in which the letter "R'' in the last
name of the candidate for Judge or Pro-
bate was erased are legal and should
be counted; that the four ballots cast in the
town of Hartland for Judge of Probate and
which carried pastors placed in rather un-
usual manner should be rejected: and that
the IA ballots in the town OF Winchester, re-
jected by the Moderator because they had
pastors written in ink, were properly re-
jected.
Judges Seymour and Fem declare that
they cannot concur in that portion of the
opinion of the majority of the court which
holds that the Superior Court should have
counted ballots which the evidence of the
counters returns and Moderators' certif-
Gates show were rejected and excluded from
the count for being double.
