Apoplexy Said to Have Killed the

Richard worthington. secretary-tr treas
urer and general manager OF the bank
rupt Worthington Publishing Company,
died suddenly at 1890 o'clock last night
at his summer home at Sea Cliff. L. l.
His age was fifty-eight years.
Rumors were current to-day, owing
to the audiences of his death, that Mr..
Worthington had died under mysterious
circumstances. OF late he had been OPP

nephews and nieces were his only rela-
tives.
In years gone by Worthlngton was a
well-known figure In the book publishing
business; He failed back in 1885, but

Company. They failed in January, 1893.
A receiver was appointed, who last June
caused Mr.; Worthington's arrest. He
was locked up in Ludlow Street Jail,
but finally furnished bonds of 5000 for
his appearance and was released.
Lawyer Fisk said that when the affairs
Of the Worthington Company were in
vestlgated by Receiver Little It was
discovered that there was a shortage of
$4,000.
Lawyer Fisk began suits in the SUI
preme Court against Wort Ellington and
his wife and Elizabeth Sproule. a sister
in-law. to recover the amount alleged to
have been appropriated from the Pub
fishing Company's funds by Worthing-
ton. and said to have been transferred
to his wife and Mrs. Sproule.
Worthington had set up counter
claim against the Company for alleged
enough to cover the shortage.
When Referee William II. Willis in
quired into the case he reported that
Worthingt on had no valid claim.
The accounts are said to show that
Worthington paid all his household ex-
penses, the rent OF fiat in this city,
pew rents and many other bills out Of
the funds of the Company.
He had taken out three policies OF life
insurance in the Mutual Life Insurance
Company, two beng for $4,000 each and
one for $4,000, and also three policies in
the Aetna Life Insurance Company. OF
on these policies, 1t Is claimed by Mr..
Fisk, were paid for out of the funds OF
the Publishing Company, and therefore
are a part OF the assets thereof, which
are being sued for.
Mr. Fisk said the suits would be con-
tinued against Mrs. Worthington and
Mrs. Sproule.

HELP FROM UP THE STATE.
|1h Boilers Claim They Will Have
No Trouble to Obtain the 5000
Necessary Signatures.

At the headquarters Of the Shepard
Democracy "in" Kings County, POI Mon
hgue street. Brooklyn, this morning,
II was officially announced by Secre-
tary Charles ]. Edwards, Mr.. Shepard's
rght-hand man. that a third State
ticket would be placed in the field at
once.
All the delegates of the anti-regulars
from Kings County who went to the
Saratoga Convention received a notice
From MIR. Shepard this morning to meet
the Montague street headquarters
fonight to select candidates for
Governor, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
Judge Of the Court of Appeals.
II the ticket is prepared tonight, the
petition required by law will be circu-
ated in Brooklyn. New York and up
he State for the 5000 signatures neces-
ary before the ticket can be printed.
The object of circulating the petition
inside Of Brooklyn is to give the dis
atisfied factions in some OF the upstate
counties a chance to cooperate in the
pavement.
The law requires that the petition shall
be filed with the Secretary of the State
py or De1ore Oct. 10.
The Shepardites believe that there will
be no difficulty in securing signatures.
s In Kings County alone, they say there
bre nearly 10000 voters who are In SYM
bathy with the movement of a third
ticket.
The only candidate spoken of to head
the new ticket so far Is Charles S. Fair
child, of the Grace Democracy. In view
of the talk of deal between the Grace
people and Tammany Hail. 1t is not be-
lleved that Mr.. Fairchild would now ac-
eept The nomination, although he once
protested a willingness to do so.
In Kings County the action of the $50
Republicans who on Saturday night re-
fused to join forces with the Shepardites,
has caused considerable feeling to crop
out among the Independent element OF
the G. o. P.
The Shepard people say now that they
viii gain thousands of votes by the
PARTISAN attitude of the Republicans.
Now that the Objectionable State Com
nitteemen from. Kings County are out
chairman James d. Bell says matters
among the regulars will run along
smoothly. New blood will be selected.
The regulars are to make no further
efort towards harmony with the Shep-
sd wing. The latter organization will
now also have to contend with a new
enemy-the Gaynorites. This element is
made up Of the friends Of Justice Gay
nor who blame Edward NJ. Shepard for
justice Gaynor's declination. 1t repre-
ents regular Democrats, Republicans
snd Independents, whose one object Is
defeat the Shepard Democracy.

CRISIS EXPECTED SOON.
Pekin Likely to BE Too Cold for the
Japs within Two Weeks.

CBy Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The crisis of
the ChinaJapan war is looked for with
in the next ten days or two weeks, by
those most interested and best informed
on the contest. The legations of the
two countries are expecting daily to hear
that the decisive battle has been fought.
This Is based on the fact that the jap
anese have been gradually closing In
around Pekin. and the invading army is
compelled by force of circumstances to
strike its blow at once. or not at all.
The Intense cold which comes on about
the middle of October makes this i'm
perative.
The Japanese climate is very mild,
even in Winter, and the Japanese
troops are wholly unprepared for the
rigorous climate about Pekin which is
due within two weeks.
The Chinese look upon this as one of
their defenses, and the Japanese fully
appreciate that 1t compels them to con-
centrate their campaign for this year
into the next few weeks, and. II pos
sible, days.

(By Associated Press)
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. s.-Fitz-

talked freely Of his controversy with
Corbett whom he is to meet in New
York on Thursday, to arrange for the
proposed fight.
When asked IL the date suited him, as
set by Corbett. after July l. Fitzsim-
mons said:
mo; that date does not suit, and for
several reasons. In the first place, there
are others to be considered besides Mr..
Corbett. What about the Club? 1t
must have some protection. Not on.
of them could or would afford to put
up a purse of 900 except at such
time as they see a way in which to
make II back again.
July would be a very late date for
New Orleans, and the Club could not
give, such an amount, as they would
not be able to get 1t at the gate. 1t is
for them to set the date. and not Mr..
Corbett, and he must make his ar
rangements accordingly.
II will not agree to any such indefi-
mite postponement. Why he set such a
late date / am at a loss to know. He
certainly Is not booked up to then and
could have made II earlier"
