CANDIDATES IN ABUNDANCE
The Woods Arc Full Of Men willing to
Sacrifice Their Time. but Hill,
Croker and Murphy Have Not
Been Heard From.

Syracuse, n. Y, Sept. 22.-Democrats
are coming this way in numbers that
bid fair to swamp the town. 1t Is al
ready evident that Syracuse has not
sufficient hotel capacity for the people
who want to come here.
Although il is AN off year, the Demo-
Gratis are not content to hold a quiet
little convention like that Of the Re-
publicans at Saratoga last week. They
intend to whoop things up as though
the governorship or possibly the presi-
dcncy We're at stake.
From all over the state large delega-
tions are expected to boom the numer-
GUS candidates for the state officers
Unlike the Sara toga convention, where
there was practically but one set Of
candidates in sight, here there are can
dEdates galore for each office. If the
scramble for nominations were a sign
to go by, this could safely be set down
as IA Democratic year.
So far as known here there Is no
slate in existence, but David b. Hill,
Edward Murphy and Richard Croker
have not arrived YETI When they get
here tips may he passed around as to
who are the men. A score of candi-
dates who are now being doomed for
places on the tickets will probably be
dropped. At present it's any mans
race for a place.
Those who Arc "WiIliu'."
Here Is a list of candidates where
they now stand: For secretary of state,
1loratio G. King, of Kings, or Charles
A. Cary. of Olcan. For attorney gen.
eral, Daniel G. Griffin. of Watertown
For state treasurer, John Il. Judson. of
Gloversvillo. For state comptroller,

Chicago. Sept. 22.-F'ive young men

while seeking relief from the heat on

the heavy sea created by the strong
wind which prevailed all day, becom-

Six young men went out on the lake

them took off their clothes and jumped
into the water. "A big wave came roll

PEARY FEELS BAD.
Obliged TO Return without silver from
the North pole.

St. Johns. N. f.. Sept. 22.-Full de-
tails of the dreadful sufferings of
Pcary. Lee and Henson are now becom-
ing public. 1t is cause for wonder
how they survived. No other case Is
known where Arctic explorers delib-
erately took their lives in their hands
and ventured upon most eXacting en-
terprise with the full knowledge that
their supply of food was insufficient.
and that they would probably perish In
the attempt.
Peary's disappointment over the un-
satisfactory termination of the eXpedi-
ton is unconcealed. but all admit that
he is not responsible for the failure.
No human being could have done more
to make the expedition a success. Had
he had more men or even sufficient
provisions. he would have accomplished
much.
All members of the expedition leave
for New York Thursday next.

two days on charge of counterfeiting.
has been acquitted. johnson was ar
rested in August. 1894. by Sheriff Rob-

named Smith. who pretended to be q
detective. 1t developed at the trial that
the charge was trumped up by Smith
for selfish ends. Smith secreted molds
and material for making counterfeit
money on Johnson's premises and then
notified the officers that he had located
a counterfciter.
He supposed there was a standing Of
fer from the government of $40 for the
arrest and conviction of a counterfeiter.
When he discovered that this was not
the case he decamped. leaving his victim
with the charge hanging over him.
