| German vote is going to flop is causing the
| leaders of the Tammany and anti-Tam-
many movements no end of anxiety, and
| the Germans themselves are being pulled
and hauled about much after the fashion
of rural visitor in the "old clo'" quarter
of Baxter street. About one-half of the
Teutons have been delivered to Tammany
by the Ridder-Amend contingent of the
G. A. R., while the other half, rounded up
by Editor Ottendorfer and Tax Commis
sioner Sutro, are on the fence with their
faces turned toward the Republican-Fusion
camp.
The unattached army is going to hold a
| mass-meeting next week, and the lndica-
tions are that the Republican-Fusio
will gobble it in, so that Tammany will
get only one-half of what it bargained for,
while the Fusionists will get much more
than it expected. The "Sunday beer"
issue is the STUN bling block in the way of
the Fusionists getting all the German
votes, and unless a club is vigorously ap-
piled by Editor Ottendorffer the German
vote will be evenly split between the par
ties.
The Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst has left
the Good Government young men to Ego
it alone in this campaign. In public
statement issued last night he declared
that the Republican coalition ticket 'fur-
nishes all decent ana intelligent citizens
ralIying ground" and sums up his ideas
of the campaign in these words: "If we
stand shoulder to shoulder in the election
of the names on that ticket the cause is
gained and the enemy is worsted."
DR.. Parkhurst has reached this concul-
sion after cogitating several days as to
what his attitude should be. He was en-
barrassed by the nomination of Good Gov
ernment Clubs ticket, but while in SYM
pathy with the Goo Coos he perceives that
the only chance of defeating Tammany
Hall is by the election of the Republican
coalition ticket. He points out to all the
municipal reformers their duty as being
coincident to his, to the exclusion of per-
sonal whims and fancies as to how the
coalition could best have been brought
about.
The stories of Mrs. Harris' visits to Car
Isle Harris while he was awaiting execu-
ton in Sing Sing Prison, and the state
lnent repeatedly published that she fur
nished him with poison with which he
almost succeeded in defeating the laws
ton, were denied most positively
yesterday. William f. Howe, who was
counsel for Harris, declares that there is
not one word of truth in the statements
He says that Mrs. Harris did at one time
contemplate taking poison to her son. She
had told certain of her friends of her de-
termination to save him from the electric
chair by this means.
When she first suggested the idea to him
he urged her to give up any such idea,
assuring her that if she was the means by
which Harris received any poison she
would be guilty of murder and would be
amenable to the law. She protested that
she could not bear to see her son meet
with such frightful death, but the lawyer
assured her that the Governor had been ap-
pealed to and he might at the last moment
save Carlisle from death. He obtained at
last from the mother a promise that no
matter what might happen she would
under no circumstances carry any poison
or any weapon by which the desperate
young man might end his life.
Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt and her daughter,
Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, who have been
staying at the Savoy Hotel, went away
yesterday to visit friends, but before their
departure the matter of fixing the date of
Miss Vanderbilt's wedding with the Duke
OF Marlborough was settled, the date chosen
being Wednesday, November 6, and the
Church of st. Thomas The ceremony
will take place at noon. Three distin-
| gulshed prelates will be within the chan
Gel rails during the ceremony-the Rev.
Dr. John Wesley Brown, rector of ST.
Thomas, Bishop Littlejohn and the Bishop
of the diocese of New York-the Right
Rev. Henry Potter, who will perform the
marriage ceremony. The other details of
| the wedding have not yet been completed.
According to w. A. McNulty of this city.
| who was at one time president of the Ar.
kansas Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty TO Amin ais, there is law in the statute
books of Arkansas under which the Cor
bett-Fitzsimmons fight can be prevented
from taking place at Hot Springs. He said
that the Legislature of 1879 passed law
to prevent cruelty to animals. At the time
it was supposed to apply only to the brute
| creation, but it was subsequently discov-
cred that the interests of the higher ami
mal-man-were considered as well, Nc
Nulty believes the law ample to prevent
the fight, and he has written to Governor
Clarke to that effect The law reads:
SIN this act, and in every law of this State
passed, or which shall be passed, relating
to or affecting animals, the singular shall
include the plural; the words animals or
dumb animals shall be held to include
every living creature; the words torture,
torment or cruelty shall be held to in
clude every act, omission or neglect where
by unjustihable pain, suffering or death is
caused or permitted and the words owner
or person shall be held to include cor
| porations as well as individuals, but moth
ing in this act shall be construed as pro-
hibiting the shooting of birds or other
game for the purpose of human food"
1t is pretty certain that the orange and
black will meet the crimson on the grid
iron this fall, provided the Princeton grad
uate advisory committee, which meets at
the Princeton Inn in Princeton this after
noon in conference with the executive
committee of the undergraduates, shall
agree to the formal challenge and agree
ment which have been submitted by the
Harvard representatives. Harvard has
submitted her proposition, which contains
