HUNTINGTON AND MACKAY,
DoingS of the Noted Magnate
in the Metropolis of
the Nation.
Sky - Scraping Structures That
Cause the Formation Of Cam
yons in the City.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 5.-The recent
return of G. P. Huntington from Europe
has again been made the pretext for the
customary contradictory statements con-
corning that gentleman's intentions in re-
gard to his New York mansion. In point
of fact, Mr.. Huntington said two years
ago-in the summer of 1893, when he had
announced his plan of disposing of all his
railroad holdings east of the Mississippi
and devoting himself to his interests in
the West-that it was his intention to
practically make San Francisco his home.
With the abandonment of his scheme of a
railway from ocean to ocean went the ne
cessity, to his mind at least for two New
York residences. He said at the same time
that he should spend his winters in San
Francisco and devote himself to his i'm
mense interests that center there, coming
to his country place at Throggs Neck,
Westchester County, for the summer
months.
This plan naturally left no necessity for
the gray Fifth-avenue palace that has now
been six years a-building, and has been the
only basis for the many financial tales of
the last two years concerning the railroad
magnates premonition of the disaster
that would wait upon any attempt at liv-
ing in that imposing structure. M
Just across the street from Mr.. Hunt
ington's Broad-street office another Cali
fornian, John W. Mackay, has arranged
for the erection of building that will I'M
doubleday be very generally lived in, and,
besides, materially change the silhouette
that the lower part of the city makes
against the sky as one approaches by the
ferries.
A recent writer spoke of the canyon
of Wall street" The phrase is more APP
plicable to New street, the little thorough
fare that cuts off from Wall street at right
angles and runs down next to Broad
street, paralleling it and Broadway.
The rear elevation of Mr. Mackay's Com
mercial Gable building. with its twenty
one stories, will be- upon New street,
almost opposite to the even more skyey
home of the Manhattan Insurance Com
pany, and will add not little to the
gorge-like effect of the street.
The building is not to be ready Tor occu-
pancy for more than year yet, and before
it is completed is estimated to cost close
on to 81, SOC, 900. OF that amount 81, zoe, 0OO
has already been paid for the ground by
Mr.. Mackay's company.

Various Diseases and
Crimes.
DR.. Forbes WinsloW's Views on
Suicide Considered as
Mental Epidemic"

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 5. - The
Medico-Legai Congress continued its ses-
sion this afternoon. The first paper read
was one by DR.. Forbes Winslow of London
entitled Suicide Considered as a Mental
Epidemic" The doctor, in brief, after a
short dissertation on human actions being
all under the influence and power of ex-
ample, and the forms of fanaticism which
probably, he said, caused the most extro-
ordinary epidemic of dementia we know
Of went on to say that incendiarism, in
fanticide. kleptumania, homicide and sui
eide have all during this century been
epidemic at one time or another, force OF
imitation being so great and acting pre-
judicially on weaK-minded persons, or on
those predisposed to mental disorders.
Owing to want of time the paper OF
W. X. Sudduth of Chicago on "Hypnotism
and Crime was read by title. At this
juncture recess was taken until 2:30 P. NJ.
After recess the discussion of medico-
legal surgery was taken up, Judge Palmer
presiding. DR.. H. H. Mitchell, who made
brief address, spoke about the maudlin
sympathies which were sometimes exhib-
tied toward murderers when they were
sentenced to be electrocuted.
Mrs. Eliza O'Connor of New York spoke
next on Women in the Legal Profession
and It's Relations to Medical Jurispru-
dence."
Mrs. Sophia McClelland read paper on
"Credible Witnesses and Circumsta
Evidence" after which the proceedings
were adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow

TROUBLE IN SAN SALVADOR.

Rumors of a Revolution and Movements of
Troops.
CITY OF MEXICO, Mex, Sept. g.
Specials from the city of San Salvador say
there are many wild rumors af1oat there.
At noon to-day the guards at the Govern
ment palace and other public buildings
were doubled. Three hundred and fifty
men arrived from Santa Ana, which is the
most trusted by President Gutierrez, who,
it is claimed, wants to leave, but is held
there by his adherents, who will not allow
him to desert them now, when they are
apparently in danger. There are rumors
of conspiracy against Gutierrez and to
place President Alfaro in power. A
correspondent called at the War Depart
ment and was informed that there was no
reason to fear any uprising, and that the
cause of the military movements there
within the last few days was to drill the
men. so as to prepare for any sudden move
ment.
Vice President Alfaro said that he was
not implicated in any plans against
Gutierrez. He was royal and will abide by
any and all laws of the country.

r.. Il. Queen of This city Elected Presi-
dent of the Association.
DENVER, Colo, Sept. 5.-The National
convention of wholesale druggists and
proprietors of patent medicines discussed
the new plan of handling proprietary
articles to-day in executive session. After
differences had been expressed the plan
was adopted by an almost unanimous vote.
AS mentioned in a former dispatch, the
sale of these articles is to be controlled ex-
clusively by general sales agent, under
the supervision of committee OF fifteen.
1t is hoped by this agreement that the
cutting of rate prices will be checked and
the sale of these articles in department
stores stopped.
Objections to Niagara Falls as the place
of next meeting having been raised the
convention to-day substituted Philadelphia
by majority vote. The druggists closed
their business affairs this evening by the
installation of new officers and tomorrow
they begin week of touring through the
mountains before returning to their homes.
The association of proprietors selected the
following officers for the ensuing year: R.
a. Queen of San Francisco, president; e.

CAPTAIN Summers DEFENSE.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Sept Sat the
court-martial trial to-day Captain Sumner
took the stand in his own defense.
II never doubted for one minute that
the ship would not have been locked safely.
l want to say right here that 1 had urgent
reasons for staying in the dock as long as
was necessary to permit the work we went
for. The orders I had received being sent
by cable | had a right to construe as
ordering the ship hoated is sustained by
the fact that the vessel has suffered no
serious injury. I ordered that the vessel
be fioated Immediately after it had become
evident that it was necessary"
The court will reconvene tomorrow at
10 A. N.

Their Advancement.

Their Advancement.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 5.-The
first business at to-day's session of the an
nual convention of the National Associa-
ton of Letter-carriers was the considera-
ton of a report by the committe on legis-
lation on a proposition to amend the con-
stitution SO that no delegate represented
by proxy should have vote in the cleo
ton of officers. The committee reported
adversely on the matter. There was an
other discussion over pension bill intro
duced by Chicago delegate providing
that the Postoffice Department deduct
from 81 to 81 Is from the salary of each
carrier and place it in fund to be used for
the relief of sick and disabled carriers.
The bill also provides for the retirement
of carriers on half pay after twenty We ars'
service. Some of the delegates considered
the salary bill to the coming session OF
Congress, but the Chicago delegates stood
up for the bill, and it was finally referred
to a special committee.
Another bill was introduced which was
intended to give the letter-carriers protec-
ton from politicians.
If passed by Congress it would empower
the Civil Service Commission to investi-
gate all cases of dismissal, A resolution
was passed indorsing the blue label of the
Cigar-makers' Union, which action was re-
nominate separate candidates for Offices
were appointed. The convention will vote
upon the tickets to be selected tomorrow.
Buffalo will probably be selected as the
next meeting-place, although Omaha Is
making fight for it.

BETTING ON THE DEFENDER.
Englishmaen DO Not Espect Talkyrie III
to Win the Cup.

to W3n the Cup.
LONDON, ENG, Sept. 5.--If the English
interest in the Americas cup race were to
be measured by the betting on the ap-
preaching event, it would be difficult to
discover any. A long series of defeats OF
English boats has limited public attention
to the Valkyrie's latest effort strictly to
yachting circles.
kilograms were received to-day from
Cowes, the Clyde and Cork. all saying
there is little more than sentimental in
terest in the coming races among yachts
men on those waters. The impression
certainly prevails that an English boat
never before stood such good chance of
winning; but this idea is not finding
much expression in cash. Such bets as
are reported between yachtsmen are all at
even money, though when cash is called
for, that on the side of the Defender is
easier to find than are hackers Of the
Valkyrie.
Professional betting in London is prac-
tically nil. There are nominal quotations
at two or three betting headquarters in the
West End at 8 to in favor of the De-
fender. This quotation is really without
significance, however, for bookmakers will
ing to take Defender money at these terms
modestly refuse to take Valkyrie bets at
the same rate.
There have been few irregular bets re-
corded on the Stock Exchange, usually at
odds in favor of the American boat, but
the matter does not begin to attract as
much attention as an ordinary horserace.
Lloyds reports some inquiries on both
sides, and they have been able to arrange a
few wagers on terms so various and fluctu-
ating as to be without significance.
1t is declared in all quarters that betting
in England depends on the result of the
first race. If the Defender wins there will be
nothing done. Ii the Valkyrie is the victor
there will be unlimited cash ready to back
her for the series on any terms.

SUICIDE OF A SHERIFF.
His Blood TrickIed Dozen Upon the Heads
of Supervisors.

of Supervisors.
HOLLY SPRINGS, MISS, Sept. g.
While the Board of Supervisors were in
session in the Chancery Clerks Office to-
day, they discovered blood running down
the wall from the courtroom above. They
rushed to the Sheriff's Office upstairs, and
finding the door locked, they broke it
down. Sheriff Robert a. McWilliams had
committed suicide. He lay PROSTATE upon
the floor, weltering in his own blood. He
had fastened a handcuff on his left hand
and locked it to a table. He had also
shackled his feet tight together and then,
with his own razor, cut his throat from ear
to ear, severing every vein. The only
cause assigned for Sheriff McWilliams'
suicide is mental depression.
