NOT A SURPRISE.
The New York Democrats Do as Ex.
 pected.

SARATOGA, June 25.-The Demo- cratic state convention that convened yesterday has put itself on record in a financial platform and has selected it's delegates to the National convention, but in doing these things it has fol- lowed out the predictions of weeks ago, and has not created any sensation, or even mild surprise.
 The platform favors gold and silver as standard money of the country and opposes as a permanent financial pol icy gold monometallism on the one hand or silver monometallism on the other hand.
 Free coinage of silver in the absence Of the cooperation of other great na- tions is opposed; the platform declares any attempt of the United States to enter upon the experiment of the free coinage of silver as a depreciated coin would not only prove disastrous to our finance, but would retard, perhaps de- stroy, the establishment of interna- tional bimetallism.

drawn. This was made known today by Eben Smith who is one of the most extensive operators Tn the camp.
 About six weeks ago the Maid and Henrietta managers, including Messrs. Smith and Moffat, entered into an agreement with other mine owners to the effect that all should share in the expense of keeping the pumps in the Smith -Moffat properties going in order to assist the drainage works in other mines
 Since the strike 1t has been feared that these pumps would be stopped thus doing vast damage by the mines filling with water, in which case thou sands of dollars would have to be spent in resuming work.
 Today MT. Smith stated that he would stand by his agreement with the other presidents to keep the pumps going whether the mines were idle or not. The reservation was made that this operation would be kept up as long as the others paid their share oi the expense. With reference to the strike itself MT. Smith declined to talk.

DENVER, June 25.-The state silver convention was called to order at 11:15 a. m. by I. N. Stevens, mem Der of the National silver committee. There were 710 delegates present. Prayer was offered by Rev. Thomas Uzzell, who asked a blessing ''on this convention, on the coming silver con- vention at St. Louis, and especially on the convention that is to meet at Chi cago"
 Stevens congratulated the counties on sending to Denver delegates to a meeting "at which there was no pie counter in sight" He expressed the hope that the Chicago convention would nominate a man whose posi- tion on silver was unequivocal, and suggested Teller as an ideal candidate. The mention of Teller set the conven- tion wild and the enthusiasm continued over the names of Sibley, Bland, Black burn, Morgan and southern free silver senators.
 The convention selected H. A. W. Tabor temporary chairman. After ap- pointing committees the convention took a recess till 2 o'clock.
 The convention will send Teller as a delegate to St. Louis.

Curious Accident that Befel Philadelphia Photographer
 and His Patron.

PHILADELPHIA, June 25.-At the entrance to Lierz's Washington park, Eighteenth street and Allegheny ave nue, Albert Woods lived with his wife and two children, at No. 3010 North Tenth street, had photograph gallery until yesterday. Since then him. self and would-be patron have been killed. The other victim was Richard Menzie, 20 years of age, of No. 1750 Allegheny avenue. Menzie went to the park yesterday afternoon, and after he had seen all the sights, concluded to go to Woods place for a tin type. When he reached the building he leaned against the screens placed be- fore the window, and an instant later he was hurled twenty feet away. The electric light wires which fed the arc light in the gallery had become 1oos- ened, and had sagged against the wire screen, charging it to the extent of 1, 400 volts
 Menzie lay where he had been thrown, grooming with pain, and in a very short time relapsed into uncon- sciousness. Woods was inside at work and when he heard the commotion he came out to learn the cause He was told that the young man had been shocked, but pooh-poohed the idea, and declared that the lad must have had a stroke of apoplexy. To prove this, he took hold of the screen and was knocked down. Both were sent to the Samaritan hospital, but by the time they arrived there life had fled. The coroner is Investigating the mat ter, and will hold an inquest tomorrow.

PHOENIX SCHOOL CHILDREN.
The County Superintendent Compil
 ing His Anunal Report.

County School Superintendent Grouse is just now looing over a mammoth pile of school reports, getting ready to make up his annual report to the territorial superintendent of public in- struction. It is remarkable that a dozen of the reports submitted are faulty in marked degree, some of the teachers finding averages by adding up the figures of the monthly reports for the term.
 The Phoenix reports are particularly interesting. By them 1t Is found there are in the city 1887 white children, 673 being boys and 674 girls. The same preponderance of one on the fe- male side was noted last year. There are only eleven colored children, five boys and six girls. The racial features have thus been divided: Native born parents, 904; one parent foreign born, 127; both parents foreign born, 262; children foreign born, AZ.

 CORB5TT AND SHARKEY. May Meet Again In the Ring. Corbett Says Sharkey Is No Fighter. The Verbal CnalienRe Of Sharkey for a Fight to Finish
 Answered.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-James J. Corbett has answered Sharkey's yer bal challenge for fight to finish, made at the ringside after last nights contest, by himself announcing his in- tention to issue challenge to all com CTS, Fitzsimmons preferred. TIT
 If the latter does not accept within two weeks Corbett says he will make arrangements for fight with Sharkey to take place on agreed territory, preferably in Mexico.
 Sharkey is the idol of the sporting world today, and the most extrava- gant predictions as to his future are made. He bears his honors modestly, but reiterates his desire to meet Cor bett in a longer battle. He received a challenge from Maher today for con test for $5,000 a side. Sharkey says, however, that he will make no other plans until his meeting with Corbett has been arranged.
 The only mark of punishment which Sharkey bears is black eye acquired during the break away in defiance of an agreement with Corbett. Sharkey says: "Of course Corbett would fight differently in fight to a finish" Said Sharkey: "He would not do any in- fighting, but neither would I. l would not take so many chances as did last night and I would be sure when I went to hit. I believe I can put Corbett out in ten rounds
 Corbett, in an interview today, claimed he was not badly punished, saying that his only marks were ac- quired when he fell on the floor after the clinch. Corbett said, speaking of last nights fight: T made a mistake in grappling with Sharkey. If I were to fight another four rounds with him I would not clinch, I would stay away and do only open fighting. It was his wrestling that tited me and in the fourth round I frankly confess that was quite exhausted In throwing my science away and fighting Sharkey al his own game, weakened myself. should have stayed away and outlined my own work. I would not have put him out, but on the other hand, would not have given him a chance to weaken me, thereby giving the impress sion that he is a great fighter when he l is ignorant of the rudiments of box ing" Corbett says he does not believe Fftzsimmons will notice his challenge as he believes Fitzsimmons is afraid to meet him, so Sharkey will be first man to be served with the challenge for fight for championship honors.

CHASED A THIEF ON WHEELS.
Two Hundred Bicyclists Run Eleven
 Miles and Caught Him.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 25- After an exciting chase of eleven miles
 in which nearly two hundred wheel men participated, Harry Wilson, col
 Ored bicycle thief, was captured today
 and sent to jail.
 A party of young men left their wheels in front of Johnson's hotel and
 Wilson came along, leaped into the
 saddle of one of the best of them, and made for the turnpike road across the meadows It was fully fifteen min utes before the theft was discovered and the pursuit commenced. Before the original party of pursuers reached the draw-bridge their numbers had
 been swelled to nearly two hundred. Across the five miles of meadows the
 wheelmen swept at breakneck speed to Pleasantville, where they were informed that the thief had stopped for a few moments and then continued his flight to Absecom, three miles fur ther on. The pursuers started for that
 place, only to find that Wilson had re- turned to Pleasantville by another , road. The pursuing company finally
 rounded up Wilson at Pleasantville in
 the railway station, where he had just
 checked the stolen wheel and pur-
 chased ticket for Philadelphia. He saw his pursuers and, dashing out, broke through the line and fled in the direction of the meadows. He was
 overhauled by the wheelmen and when
 brought to bay brandished a revolver.
 Before he could fire he was knocked down and Overpowered.
