As bit of history, the following from
che New York Sun is interesting: Tam
many Hall is the only political organiza-
tion in New York which regularly and
appropriately observes the patriotic festi-
val of the Fourth of July. The Tam
many Hall organization, though estab-
lished in 1889, was not incorporated until
1906 Morgan Lewis was at that time gov
ernor of the state Of New York, having
defeated in the year previous Aaron
Burr for that Office, and fair idea of the
extent of the restrictions upon the suf-
frage is shown by the fact that in the
whole state Mr.. Lewis received only
80, 600 votes. and Mr.. Burr $4,000 The
population of New York at that time
time was 100000, which would represent
at the present ratio, under universal suf-
frage, an electorate of $4,000, whereas
actually but $1,000, less than half. of the
voters were qualified by law to cast their
ballots. Only freeholders of property to the
extent of $500 or more in excess of their
debts were permitted to vote for gov
ernor, and the property qualification for
other offices was either $780, or the pay
ment of taxes to the amount of $40.

Tra,nmen of America Meet.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 22.-It is pro
bable that a new organization o.
railway men will be formed al
Baltimore which will rival the
organization with which Mr.. Debs
caused so much trouble a few
weeks ago.
Representatives of six great or.
ga nizations Of railroad men will
assemble in this city tomorrow,
apd remain in session two days.
They will discuss the matter OF a
federation and If combination is
formed it will have 100000 men,
bers. The organization which is
taking the lead in the movement,
and under whose auspices the
meeting will be held, is the Bro
therhood of Railroad Trainmen,
and the other organizations who
will participate in the conference
are as follows: Brotherhood Of Lo-
connective Engineers, Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen, Order of
Railway Conductors, Order of
Railway photographers, Switchmen's
Mutual Aid Association.
1t is expected that $4,000 persons
will be in Baltimore in the two
days Of the meeting. The occasion
will be ostensibly to celebrate the
eleventh anniversary Of the found
ing of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen, but the real busi-
ness will be to discuss a gigantic
plan of federating all the railroad
men of America into an order
which shall not have Mr.. Debs at
its head. The order which Mr..
Debs manages never had any
strength except in the West, and
Eastern railroad men think it will
be an easy matter to surpass it
with a new organization conser-
vatively managed. The first day
of the meeting will be tomorrow.
Two sessions will be held, both in
Harris Academy of Music. The
morning meeting will be held at
9: 80 o'clock, and will be in the
nature of a welcome meeting to
the delegates. 1t is expected that
Mayor Latrobe and Governor
Brown will be present in their
official capacity, and some time
during the two days Of the meet
ing it is expected that Congress.
man Rayner will be given an OPP
portunity to address the railroad
men on any matters which he may
think of interest to them. Sunday
afternoon there will be a religious
meeting at the Academy of Music
1t will be addressed by the minis
ters Of the city.

SLUGGING MATCHES.
BIG PREPARATIONS BEING MADE
AT NEW ORLEANS.
Town Filling up With Sports and
Betting Promises to Be Brisk.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22.-The
coming fistic carnival of the
Olympic club is the all absorbing
topic in the local sporting world.
Though as yet little betting has
been done, it is evident, as the time
draws on for the battles, large
sums will be staked on the results.
AS far as can be determined Plim-
mer and FitZsimmons should be
strong favorites, but opinion is
pretty evenly divided as to the
relative merits of Abbott and Ev-
erhardt. Abbott defeated Ever
hardt by anythieg but fair means
in his fight, but this does not
prove that Everhardt could not
have won. The contest is only
twenty-five rounds and many are
under the impression that Abbott
cannot punish fast enough to put
his sturdy antagonist to sleep in
that limit. In his former fights
Abbot has proved himself hard
puncher and In fighting at 135
pounds Abbott is virtually giving
away and s pounds. The pool
odds are to and take your pick.
Plimmer has many friends and
admirers here and he can hardly
go into the ring strong favorite.
AS for the Fitzsimmons-Cr eedon
fight, the majority of sporting men
here argue that it would be strange
if one generation could produce
two such fighters as Fitzsimmons
and they will bet their money &C
cordingly; but reports from ST..
Louis seem to indicate that there
will soon be here from that city
several hundred sporting men who
will be only too glad to take the
short end of it in the great battle
for the middleweights. One thing
may be set down for certainty, land
that is the reports that Fitzsim-
mons will not be able to get down
to weight is all "moonshine." He
was only trifie over 15S pounds
when he arrived here and before
he had been here week he was
down to 156, while since that time
his weight has ranged from l56 to
l54 and this without taking what,
to the lanky Australian, can only
be considered moderately strong
work, though it might be deemed
beyond the capacity of many fair
ly robust pugilists. John Murphy
and Jake Kilrain, Everhardt's
trainers, left Baltimore for New
Orleans Thursday night. This will
bring them into the city this
morning.

CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD.
Several Banks Victimized by
system of Trading Checks.

System of Trading Checks.
Gu ICAGO, Ills, Sept. 22.-An ex-
tensive conspiracy to defraud four
of the leading national banks Of
Chicago has been disclosed through
garnishee proceedings instituted
by one of the victimized banks
against a private bank on Ran
dolph street, where the swindler
had a small account. The swind.
Ter whose operations have already
cost the banks between $4,000 and
$4,000 has done business under the
names of Henry Morton, Henry
Cadman, d. d. Wood and Robert
Osborn. He was until recently a
clerk in the employ Of commits
sion merchant of South Water
street under the name of Henry
Cadman. He had on deposit the
sum Of 1859. This was his work
ing capital. Cadman, whose real
name is supposed to be Henry
Morton, is said to have had small
amounts on deposit with four ma
tional banks of Chicago. By a
simple system Of trading checks
he was able to draw between $4,000
and $4,000 in single day from
these four banks on the strength of
his small deposits. His continued
system of check trading aroused
suspicious but not until Morton
had overdrawn his account with at
least one bank to the extent of it is
said $4,000. Detectives think the
swindling operations are the re-
suit of we'll planned conspiracy
and Morton is nothing more
than a tool for clever men with
money.
