Everything in New York Is Combin
Against Tammany Hail.

Everything in New York Is Combining
Against Tammany Hall.
New York. Oct. THE county conven-
lions of republicans and the state de-
mocracy tonight nominated the following
ticket. which was agreed upon early in
the night by the conference committee of
the chamber of commerce, good govern
ment clubs. republicans and state dem
ocrats:
County clerk-Thomas L. Hamilton. re-
Register-Thomas F. Heating, state
democrat
Justices of the supreme court-Ernest
Hail. republican,; Charles c. Beaman, in
dependent, and Meyer s. Isaacs, good
Judges of the city court-Henry C. Bot
ty and James w. Halves, republicans
Daniel O'Connell, state democrat.
The excise plank of the platform of
both conventions are the same. 1t rec ties
that Tammany is responsible for fhe
present law, which was freely used by it
for depressing political opponents; insists
that every citizen is entitled to enjoy po-
litical freedom not in conflict with the
moral and religious convictions of his
fellow citizens; favors such modificat ons
of existing laws as will prevent black
mail. Partially and oppression and will
enable the city to determine for itself
whether the sale of food beverages and
other necessaries shall be permitted on
Sunday during church hours, and de-
clares that the Legislature shall deter
mine and enact such conditions in the
excise law.
The republican platform indorses the
nominations and the platform of the re-
publican state convention recently held
at Saratoga and heartily afffrms and
echoes the demand for the nomination of
Levi p. Morton as president of the United
States. 81 ~
Later the state democracy accepted the
fusion ticket nominated at the republi-
can county convention. There was much
enthusiasm manifested. The platform
adopted denounces Tammany Hall and
promises to keep the fight against the

DISASTROUS CUBAN FLOODS.

Very Little News Can Be Had of the Strand
ed Warships.
Havana, Oct. Further details have
been received of the loss of life and dam
age caused by the heavy rains of Septem-
Der 80. Several localities in the Vuelto
Abajo, the great tobacco growing dis
trict, were inundated. 1t is known that
fifty-six persons were drowned and 1t is
feared that the number may be increased
when the remote hamlets are heard FROM
The railroads in the district are heavy
losers Many houses were destroyed and
large fields of tobacco were completely
ruined by the torrents of water that
poured over them. There is much suffer-
ing In the district.
The government has decided to extend
aid to the victims of the flood and mill
tary pay will be allowed to each of the
sufferers. Today several prominent men
subscribed $10.310 for relief purposes.
Reports from the scene of the wreck of
the cruiser Cristobal Colon are still very
meager. Acting Admiral MAJ has gone
to the scene of the gunboat Contramaes-
tro to ascertain whether the stranded
warship can be got afioat. The crew of
the Dutch steamer who went ashore close
to the place where the Cristobal Colon
stranded, have arrived at Esperanza.

Children Cry for

Trouble at Hova,s Capital.

London, Oct IA dispatch to the Pail
Mall Gazette from Antananarivo says
that on September rs a natinve mob made
a raid upon the British cemetery at the
Hova capital and broke open number
of collins and mutilated the bodies con-
tanned therein. The mob also made an
attack upon the French observatory,
which they destroyed, and for time
menaced the destruction of the house of
the French residents. The two armies
are now in sight of the capital and the
fight incident to their skirmishes can be
plainly heard Native soldiers are flock
ing into town and reinforcements are be-
ing sent to the front. A number of prom
inent Hovas have left the city upon what
is supposed to be a diplomatic mission,
and the general supposition Is that their
object is to treat with the representa-
tives with a view of arranging cessa-
ton of hOStilitieS.

HIS HUMOR WAS DANGEROUS.
PRACTICAL JOKER WHO MAY DIE OF FRAC-
TuRED SKULL AS A RESULT OF ONE
OF HIS FRANKS

Ignatz Henschkovez thirty years old. OF No l2c
Varick-st, is in critical condition In Gouverneur
Hospital. suffering from fractured skull. His
propensity for joking is the OF his being In
the hospital The injured is employed a
night waiter in the Cafe Liberty. at No 257
East Houston-s.. He has a reputation a prac-
teal Joker.
At o'clock yesterday morning business was
dull. so Inatz decided to find some amusement.
Jacob Holman, one of the customers. was sleep
ing in chair by a window. The jocular
waiter determined to have fun with him.
One of the rear windows opens upon the bot
tom OF a light shaft which is only two feet below
the window edge. The other window opens upon
another shaft that goes all the way down to the
cellar
1t by this window that holman was sleeping.
Ignatz's plan throw some cold water upon
the sleeping man and then jump out OF the window
and crouch down. that when Holman was
aroused nc would be puzzled to learn who disturbed
him He threw the water holman. and then
sprang out Of tn, window expecting that the bot
tom OF the shaft only couple of feet below
the window ledge The result was that he sus-
tanned fall of about fifteen fee. His groans
heard by holman. who called a policeman.
and the injured joker was sent to the hospital In
ambulance
