three Republicans and twenty-eight Demo-
erats voted IN favor of the bill. and thirty
hight Republicans and eighteen Democrats
soted as ainst it. Twenty-one OF the twenty
.heht Democrats who voted for the bill were
irammany men. The only Tammanyites who
-toted against it were Delmour, Kempner and
Goodman. Three Brooklyn Democrats voted
lor the bill-Cain, Ebbets and Newman.
Twelve Of the thirty-eight Republicans who
Voted against the bill were from Brooklyn.
.Assemblyman william Brennan worked hard
Spainst the bill. Five Of the, eleven Erie
members and three from Chautauqua and
Cattarausus voted in the negative. SO did
Cromwell, OF Queens, and Post and storm,
bf Suffolk, who were incensed because the
towns OF Flushing, Jamaica and Hampstead
were put back into the bill.
After debate which lasted five hours the
Assembly began shortly after O'CLOCK 10
vote down the various amendments whlch
the Brooklyn members had proposed to the
texow bill. The only significant vote was
bn the amendment for resubmssion. This
was Iost-56 to 81. On final passage ninety
one members voted for the bill and ffty-six
against It. !
The Greater New York bill as passed was
forwarded Immediately to Mayor Strong, OF
New York; Mayor Wurster, OF Brooklyn, and
Mayor Gleason. OF Long Island City. The
Mayors have fifteen days In which to APP
prove or disapprove the bill. It is expe,tedi
that il will be disapproved by at least one OF
them, and in that case will have to De re-
pastsd by both Houses before it goes to the
Governor. It Is, therefore, not likely to
reach the Executive before the third week OF
April. He has ten days in which to act upon
it. and in case the Legislature adiourns be-
TORE the ten days expire, 1t will become q
th.-ty~day bill, and the Governor may noio

MOTHER AND FATHER DEAD.
Martha Whitaker Under Surveillance 70
Poisoning Her Parents.

folsonlnS der Parents.
|. Jacob Snyder, an engineer Of the Erie
Railroad, in Port Jervis, N. Y, died in great
agony a few days ago and at the same time
his wife was taken suddenly i'll. The lives
OF both we're insured, and married daugh.
ter, Mrs. Martha Whitaker, who made her
home with her parents, was sole beneficiary
OF the insurance money in case Of the death
OF both. She had been wild, wayward girl,
and was separated from her husband. Sus-
picion that she had poisoned her parents
was aroused, and Immediately after the
death Of her father she was placed under po-
lice surveillance, Talthough not arrested.
Three days after the death OF Mr.. Snyder,
Mrs. Frances Snyder, poisoned as her hus-
band Jacob was, died, after many hours Of
intense suffering. Her body was placed in
room next that in which was the murdered
man, on the top floor Of the little cottage In
East Main street.
And in O room underneath, the only child
of the dead man and his wife, Mrs. Martha
Whitaker, sat nearly all day, with police
man ever at her side, to make sure that she
did not escape. or do herself harm.
The girl-she is girl in years, although
she has been a wife-is not yet accused by
any one in authority. but it has been thought
wise to be sure that she will be at hand In
case future developments should make an
arrest imperative.
Her mother, when dying, practically e1-
pressed the belief that Mrs. Whitaker was
the poisoner. But there is no proof yet
against her. or against any one.
Mrs. Whitaker is critically I'D. She tainted
when told that her mother was dead, and
soon aterward she was seized with nausea.
the symptoms being similar to those caused
by arsenical poisoning in its early stages.
She soon revived. and for some hours after
ward she rested quietly.

FLOODS IN NEW YORK STATE.
Rivers and Creeks Overflow and Towns
and Villages Are Flooded.

Rivers and Creeks Overflow and Towns
and villages Are Flooded.
Spring freshets caused floods in many
parts of New York State. Rivers and creeks
overfowed and great destruction was
wrought In towns and villages. Dispatches
from various points give the following de-
tails ..
LYoNs.-Clyde River rose higher than II
has been since 1855. The Standard Oii Com
pany's station Is surrounded with wafer nVe
feet deep and milk is being taken into the
creamery on RATS. Newsboys delivered pa,
pers on Franklin, Depew, Elmer, Shuler ana
Montezuma streets with rowboats. Ine
amount of damage done Is great: at the
Scott Mailing Company's plant the Waler
overfowed the lower floor.
GkNEsEo.-The Geneseo River rose rapidly
and the fats between Geneseo and Pihard
are covered with water.
PALMYRA -Gunargua Greek was the high
est In the past ten years. The West shore
tracks are under fourteen inches OF water
and no trains can pass. The town was In
darkness at night, water being over foot
above the fre-box at the electric light power
house.
BurFA1o.-south Buffalo was under two
to five feet Of water, due to the overflow OF
Buffalo and Cazenovia Creeks. Consider
able damage was done to goods In cellars
and house furniture.
HoRNEI1sv1LLE.-The Canisteo River Is q
raging torrent. Several portions Of the city
are inundated, and many OF the highways
are impossible. The electric road to Canisteo
was not able to operate trains, and at the
latter place the flood Is even worse than
here. A farmer moving his household goods
was forced to abandon his wagon on the
lower fiat lands.
ITHAcA.-Ithaca is experiencing the worst
food In its history. The Ice in the
various feeders to Lake Cayuga run
ming through the city went out, but
north wind brought the Zee
back again, with the result that the lower
portion Of the city Is inundated. The water
extends all over that portion Of the city. and
for FIVE miles out rushing torrent sweeps
over the country. The railroad tracks south
OF Ithaca are washed away and only trains
going north can get out Of the city.

They Expect Conflict for the Indepen-
dence Of South Africa.
LONDON, March 3O.-Advices confirm the
importance of the Dutch agitation for the
independence of South Africa. Aletter from
member OF the Cape Parliament says
that the English and Dutch political leaders
concur in the belief that the position was
never SO threatening in the Transvaal.
Many newcomers who are seen In Pre-
toria are known to be German soldiers.
Every steamer sailing to Cape Town, Dur
ban, and Port Elizabeth brings groups OF So
called prospectors who are unable to con-
ceal the stamp Of the disciplined soldier who
is still under military command. The letter
concludes with the statement that every
body knows that there is war ahead. and
that plenty of British and Dutch blood will
be shed ere the summers grapes ripen.
MIR. Joseph Chamberlain, Secretaryof State
for the Colonies, recently demanded of Presi-
dent Kruger OF the Transvaal that he imme-
diately accept or reject the invitation to visit
London. In response President Kruger has
telegraphed that the Yolksraad will only
assent to his going to London on condition
that the Anglo-Boer convention of 1884 be so
amended that the full independence OF the
Transvaal will be recognized and guaranteed
by Great Britain and the other Powers.
