HARRY HILL IS GONE.
rNevermore Will the Famous Old
Sport and Boniface "Oblige."
Died In Poverty Though He Had Made
Fortune I'm His Time.

Harry Hill, the veteran sporting man,
we'll known throughout the country, died
ut his home In Corona, N. Y, the other
evening. The cause Of his death is attrib-
uted 20 drinking impure water from the
walter supply at Corona. He was 76 years
of age and had been i'll two weeks
Harry Hill had the reputation, OF which
he was proud, of being the squarest man"
who ever owned a sporting resort in New
York. A decade and half ago his resort
at Houston and Crosby streets was known
al over tho country, and no rural individ-
ual Of any sporting proclivities at all con-
sidered visit to New York complete un-
less it included a visit to Harry Hills"
The proprietor was genial and hearty,
and it was his boast--truthful so far as Is
known--that no person was ever robbed in
his place. Many New Workers who have
memories-and not unpleasant ones of
Harry Hills," occupy places high In
politics and in the business world today.
1t was their custom TO "open wine" with
the thick set, popular Englishman who
conducted 10 and who owed his success to
his honesty and good fellowship.
Hill, who was at one time reputed TO be
worth $500, 900, died in poverty, and 1t is
a fact worthy OF note that of all the men
who have achieved success and were under
obligations 10 him not one went to his as
sistance in his days Of adversely.
In 1854 he bought out grocery store at
Houston and Crosby streets, obtained a
grocer's license to sell liquor, and 1t was
from that beginning that his famous resort
sprang. The grocery soon became head
quarters for all of the sportsnen OF the

match came off April IA, 1858, for e2, 500

VERMONT LEADS OFF.
Republicans Expect to Roll Up Majority
of About $4,000

Burlington, VT. Sept. 1.-Vermont to-
day leads off With the first state election
In the east in the present campaign, a
governor and state officers, two con-
gressmen and a state legislature being
chosen. The candidates for governor
are Josiah Grout (Rep.), ]. IL. Jackson
CDem) and Joseph Battell (People's).
IL III. Powers is the Republican candl-
date for reelection to congress i'm the
First district, and r.. +. McManus is his
Democratic opponent. In the Second
district, william w. Grout, (Rep), the
present representative in the national
house, and IL. l.. Fitzgerald (Dem) were
the candidates.
The campaign has been n short one,
nnd though the canvass has not been
marked by much noise or display an
earnest interest in the important issues
Of the the day has been manifest. The
Populists Of the state have given their
small strength TO the Democratic army.
but this help has been more than Offset
by the bolt Of gold standard Democrats.
The faction which has declared against
the platform and candidates OF the Chi
cago convention includes many men
who have for years been prominent In
the party's councils, and the detection
has been n serious one.
The currency question has been the
principal Issue Of the campaign, and II is
not believed that local politics will re-
ceive much consideration at the ballot
box.
Members OF the Republican state COM
nittee are confident that the count to-
night will show a considerable increase
In the usual Republican majority, and
the hgures are estimated ut from 10000
TO $4,000. But seldom has the Republi-
can majority for governor been below 2O.-
