SITUATION IN NEW YORK.
Both Sides Claim TO be COnhdent-The
Democratic Reformers

uGmOcrAtiC heIormeTA
New YORK. October 80. The declara-
tion of VIM. r. Grace to-day that the
State Democracy organization is sup
porting David b. Hill, and Is not re-
sponsible for any Wheeler posters.
is received with incredibillty,
but many who still insist
that secretly that the faction Is 10 favor
OF HIPS defeat and rolling up as large
a vote as possib4s for Wheeler. The
adherents to-day expressed much gratI-
fcation at the numbers and character
of the Cooper Union meeting last night,
and are confident that the Demo-
cratic Reform ticket will make
a good showing on election day.
Many OF the anti-Hlll Democrats will,
II is generally believed, vote straight
for Morton, taking tha ground, as one
of them remarked to-day, that vote
for Wheeler will only be half a vote
against Hill, and that the Wheeler
votes are intended TO aid Morton any
way.
The Hill men are as confident as
ever, referring with special satisfaction
TO the personal fight their candidate Is
making, aud the enthusiasm with which
he is being received by his supporters.
Most OF them, however, dan't seek
10 conceal their disappointment or
anger that his candidacy has not re-
ceived open and active ENCOURAGEMENT
from the National ad mi nistration. The
Republicans abate none OF their claims.
and insist that with the general Repub-
llcan tendency this year, and the Dem
ocratic detection from Hill, the latter
will be showed under.
There has been little betting so far In
the campaign, but the reports OF
wagers at the Stock Exchange and else
where, show odds on Morton not unfre-
gently Of 2 to l.
The fact that Colonel Strong made
brief speeches at a NUN Der OF meetings
this evening 10 the downtown East
Side district, Is regarded with much
favor by the practical politicians who
are allied with the Committee
OF Seventy, as they think II will have a
good effect on class Of voters who al
ways wish TO see their candidate aud
know something OF his personality.
Senator Murphy passed much OF the
day at the Democratic State beadquar-
ters In conference with Chairman

Thus Won a $500 Wager-A Queer
Freak of a YounR EueliShman.


New YORK, October 3O.-Tne people
of the pretty town OF RidgeWooo, n.
j., for the past two months nave oeen
having better time gosslping tnan
they have had for the better part
of a decade, and all on account OF
a young Englishman named John West,
who, after being hossler at the Herbert
House for two years, announced that ne
had fallen heir to fortune OF Sl25'OOO,
and that he was going TO stay ln hldge-
wood and iuvesJ it in real estate.
The four hundred OF the place felt
themselves in pretty pickle when this
announcement was made. What were
they 10 do? Could they receive with
open arms a youth VINO for two years
had cleaned horses at the Inn? Hetth
fact remained that ne had Sl25,-
600 In cash, aud, apparently to
prove that be had, he proceeded
TO buy 81, 400 Taudem team and let
contract for a $4,000 house, to be built
On one of the most fashionable streets.
But TO counteract that again, 1t was ru-
mored that he was engaged TO one OF
the mattresses Of the hotel, and was 60
ing marry her.
Mr.. West was found without any
difficulty at the Herbert House, where
ne was waiting for his coachman to
bring around a new horse he had
bought and which he was going 10 buy.
II don't know what all this fuss is
about" he said TO the reporter. "Ihere
isn't ANYTHING wonderful about my get
ting Sl25, ,OOO for l have always known
that l was to get it, you know and |

What made you leave England and
become one?" he was asked.
well, you know, my father David
West, is a rich man, who lives in New
market, England. He is retired cap
tain of the British navy. Now
l had chum named Arthur
Donnelly, sonsof Sir Peter Donnelly,
an Irish Baronet. Well now, you know,
one day we had little quarrel and he
fell TO guying me, and said that l
could not earn my own living. That
made me hot, aud l wagered him a
hundred pounds that / could earn my
own living with my hands, and be took
me up. You know people look at things
differently in the old country from what
they do here. so, without letting my

BERLIN, October 30.-The prohibition
against the landing Of American cattle
and American dressed meat, announced
by decree OF the Hamburg Senate on
Saturday last, as exclusively cabled TO
the Associated Press, was extended to-
day 10 all ports In Germany. Interviews
which the correspondent Of the Associ-
ated Press has had with officials oil the
Interior Department OF the Prussian
Husbandry Department, aud the Ger
man foreign Office would seem 10 show
that the prohibition is Of q preventative
nature and the action Of individual
German States. The foreign Office OFF,
cials. for instance, state that the prohi-
bition is no affair Of theirs, as the meas
ure is purely Administrative and sani-
tary and strictly belong to each German
State.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October 30.-In
discussing the news from Berlin OF the
exclusion OF American cattle and meats
Secretary Morton said he did not be-
lieve is was a retsliatory measure on
account Of the alleged discrimination
against German sugar by the United
States, but was purely a sanitary meas
ure. He also stated that the shipping
OF cattle and meats TO Germany is .

A Handsome and Intelligent Young Wo-
man in the Tolls.

nhu III TIC AOi5.
New YORK, Oetooer 30.-A stylishly-
attired, intelligent looking young wo-
man, about Iwenty-seven years old, was
arraigned in the Yorkviile police court,
charged with operating in green goods
and using the mails for that purpose.
No evidence was taken before the po-
lice court, Justice Meade committing
the woman directly into the custody OF
United States Commissioner Shields.
There was an evident purpose 10 keep
the particulars OF the case quiet, and
the defendant was hurried off with all
possible haste.
The prisoners name, as It appears on
the records Of the Yorkvile court, is
Annie Leslie, Of 2269 Seventh
Avenue. 1t was learned that Capt.
Gallagher, some time ago, received
a letter from man in Illinois, enclos'
ing a green goods circular Of the reRu-
lation character. The circular request
ed that correspondence should be ad-
dressed to 800 Third avenue, New York.
Capt. Gallagher found that 290 Third
avenue is a coal and wood Office, where
private letter boxes are renteu.
A policeman watched the place, and
when Miss Leslie called for her mail be
arrested her. She declared emphati-
cally that she had never known what
the letters were aud that she was simply
acting for a man who employed her.
She then went on 10 explain that
about three mouths ago she answered
an advertisement in a morning news
paper snd engaged 10 work for a man
named Snow, addressing envelopes. He
would meet her at the coal office or
other points and give her lot Of plain
envelopes ana list OF addresses; she
would transfer the addresses TO the en-
velopes and return them TO him.
Mr.. Snow asked her If she would get
his evening mail, she said, and she
agreed TO do so. She dIscIaimed all
knowledge Of her employers home ad-
dress or where be could be found, and
the police, while convinced that the
couple were acting in consort, were IN
able 10 appreheud the man.

one was armed with a piece
Of lead pipe about two feet
long. The jeweer was commanded
10 throw up his hands, which ne was
not slow in doing. The two men
then ordered him into the vault, the
door of which stood open. Brethauer
and one of the men, he says,
caught him by the throat, threw
him into the vault and pushed
the door shut. The thieves then
proceeded 10 ransack the show cases
and scoop the watches into gunny
sack. The door of the safe stood open
and the bandits emptied the cash box

money. All this required only a
few moments and the men
soon made their escape. The
Senior Brethauer returned about $3.50
and soon heard a sound Of pounding on

hastily opened and the imprisoned man
taken out, nearly exhausted. So far

Another Cut of an Eighth of a Cent Made
In Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 3d.
Sugar took another tumble in price to
day and surprised the jobbers, who had
concluded that it was already down TO
the bottom notch. II was regarded as
slap-back by the refueries at the
wholesale grocers who had recently un-
loaded large quantities Of sugar on the
market below the refinery compact
prices. Said a well known jobber:
This dropping of in price has been de-
cided upon by the rehnerles
on all the sugars refined before
the Wilson tariff schedule and
known as second hand sugars, in order
to meet the cutting of prices by large
iobbsrs who are unloading on the mar
get Just now. The chances are that
sugar will go still lower notwithstand-
ing the refneries are virtually closed. a"
The reduction extends TO ali grades OF
refined and averages IS OF cent per
