Nc,y York Democrats.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Most of the 50
members of the democratic State COM
mittee we're gathered in the corridors
of the Hoffman House this morning
discussing the probable action to be
taken by the State Committee to day.
The committee was called to order
about noon. The members expressed
the opinion that the session would be
short, probably ali the business being
transacted in an hour. The principal
topic discussed by the committeeman
this morning was the time and place at
which the State convention would be
held. A majority of the members
seemed to be in favor of Saratoga as
the place and September 16 as the date.
The democratic State committeu, at
its meeting to-day, decided to hold the
State convention to nominate State
ticket and presidential electors, at
Buffalo, n. Y. on September 16. Chair
man James w. Hinkley had suit OF
rooms in the Holman House and re-
ceived number of the members of the
committee where conferences were
held. Senator David B. Hill was not
seen about the Hoffman House up to
1880 o'clock. 1t was said that
he was comforting with some of
the members of the committee at

Scramble for Work.

CLEVELAND, July 2S.-A thousand
men packed the streets in the neigh
borhood of the Brown Hoist Works this
morning. There was scramble to get
places near the gate and many of the
men who had been foremost in the re-
cent riots waited quietly at the gates
from $50 a. m. until Z o'clock. The
non-union men arrived under escort.
The sullen looks of the men who stood
and watched them was the only indica-
ton of the bitter hatred with which
they are regarded by the union men.
Supt Hess arrived short time after
the non-union men and addressed the
crowd outside. He said he could not
hire them all back but would put them
to work as fast as he could. He adj
vised them to leave their names and
addresses so that he could send for
them when wanted. There are $50
non-union men at work and fifty-three
more were hired Monday. These men
will be retained. One hundred of the
strikers went to work this morning

THE CUT-RATE WAR.

No further steps have been taken in
the Seabosrd Air Line.Southern Rail
way rate war. U. S. Circuit Judge
Charles H. Simonton, in chambers at
Flat Rock N. c., yesterday issued tenn
porary injunction against the Seaboard
Air Line, the Southern States Freight
Association and lines connecting and
acting with it from making an re-
duction whatever in the existing freight
or passenger rates over these lines.
The defendants are ordered for appear
ance before him at Greenville, S. c., on
Aug. 18th, to show cause why the in
junction should be made permanent The
temporary order issued yesterday pro.
yides that until the hearing, and until
the filing of any u. VI which the court
may see fit to make upon or after such
hearing, the Seaboard Air Line is re-
strained and eDjoined from continuing
in force and further operating the re-
duction in rates put in effect on July
18th last for freight and passenger
traffic, or that of July 10Th, or from
making any further reduction or cut
whatever in either freight or passenger
traffic, or from making any change or
from operating, either alone or in com
bination with other transportation lines,
any other or different rates from those
in effect July 18TH. 1896 1t is further
ordered that the Southern Railroad
Company, and all other members of the
Southern States Freight Association,
are enjoined and forbidden to cut rates
in any manner, or from carrying into
effect the reduction of eighty per CEN
tum from the rates in effect July 18th,
1896. Il. c.. Haines, commissioner OF
the Southern States Freight and Passen-
ger Association, is also enjoined. The
hill in equity was brought for J. ID.

Augusta Railway Company, by Angus
tus P. Smythe, representing the COM
plaipants.

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY %, 1896

SOME OF the protected manufactur-
ers. even in this State, are attempting
to scare their employees into the sup
port of the republican ticket, by threat
ening to close their works in case the
democratic ticket be elected. There is
no doubt of the fact that every concelv-
able appliance will be used to defeat
the democratic ticket, and, were the
coptest close, they might succeed. But,
fortunately for the people, the majority
for free silver, and, consequently, for all
the other planks in the democratic plat
form, is evidently too large TO be over
come even by legitimate, let alone by
such illegitimste means az that referred
to. That money in unstinted amount
will be used, goes without saying; in
deed it is already said that large por-
ton Of the press-that so-called guar
dian OF hberty"-has been bought by
the gold standard and high tariff men;
but it will be almost impossible to buy
q majority of all the people of the coun-
try. If it be otherwise, then the last
days of the republic are in sight, and
the sooner the man on horseback shall
appear the better for every body.

Harrison and Hanna.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July 2S.-There
is an authentic story in regard to the
pointed correspondence between Gen
Harrison and Mark Hanna which ex-
plains why Mr.. Hanna sent Major Dick
TO the depot in Cleveland the other
dsy when General Harrison was pass
ing through the city and did not &C
himself. Immediately after the nomi-
nation of Major Mckinley MIR. Hanna
wrote to General Harrison saying be
had decided to open the campaign
early and would arrange the order OIL
things this year by bringing the big
campaign guns into service at the be-
ginning of the engagement. He re-
duested General Harrison to prepare a
speech as early as possible, and as he,
Hanna, had decided to make the tariff
the chief issue of the campaign, he ask
ed the ex-President to give it the most
attention. at is our purpose" he
wrote, "to give the tariff the main
track and let the money issue lie on a
siding as much as possible"
General Harrison sent a brief reply,
in which he said he had completed his
plans for the summer and did not know
when he would be able to 60 into the
campaign. If his observation of the
trend OF affairs was correct, he feared
the money issue already had the main
track, and that the tariff was on the
siding and would likely remain there.
With this letter to Mr.. Hanna the cor
respondence closed. Notwithstanding
the Hanna correspondence and the
strained relations between General Har.
rison and the chairman of the Indiana
State committee, it is understood the
ex-President will 60 into the campaign,
because he understands how deeply
the public welfare is involved in the
question at issue.

Women Dance Nude in Public.

NEW YORK, july 2S-Capt Chapman,
Of the West Thirtieth street station,
learned last night that a couchee-cou-
chez dance was to be held in house on
The south side of Twenty ninth sire T.,
west of Sixth avenue. He was told
that it had been arranged by two
women, and that number OF club men
and men about town had paid SO each
for admission tickets. The Captain
and his detectives got in house on the
opposite side of the street and saw the
two women dancing. They were nude,
SO the Captain and his detectives ran
across the street to arrest them. In
some manner the party got the tip that
the police were coming, and all hands
ran up to the roof and escaped. The
women did not stop to put on their
clothes, and although the police chased
them over the roofs, they did not catch
them. The woman disappeared through
the scuttle OF house farther down the
street. The police waited for them to
come back after their clothes, but they
had not returned at midnight. Capt.
Chapman learned the name Of the agent
of the house and told him that if he did
not put the women out this morning he
would get warrant out for his arrest.
The agent said the rooms were hired
few days ago by the two women and
man. There are respectable persons
living in the house, and the Captain
would not tell the number for this rea-

ACCUSED BY HER HUsBAND-Ah,

ACCUSED BY HER HUsBAND.-Ah
taking carbolic a lid yesterday evening
Mrs. Mary Herman, wife of John
Herman, of Camden, \. j., jumped
into the Delaware river with her twc
children in her arms. The childra.
were drowned, but the woman VA.
rescued in an unconscious condition
and is now in hospital in precarious
condition. The supposed motive for tie
act is that the woman had been charge
by her husband with misconduct with
another man. The woman made her
preparations deliberately. The child
rem, boys, aged three years and thirteen
months respectively, she took TO the
Walnut street wharf. She tied the feet
aud hands of the elder boy and the
feet of the younger one together. Then
drinking half OF a bottle of carbo!c
acid, she took the children in her arms
and jumped into the river. Some men
who were fishing near by in beat saw
the woman jump and rowed TO the spot
and pulled her out as she was sinking
for the third time. The children never
rose to the surface. When Herman
was told of the tragic occurrence he at
tempted to commit suicide, but was re-
strained, and last night he was being
held at the city hall to prevent him
from killing himself.

MR. JONES RETIRES.

Fairfield people will learn with sor-
row that the Rev. DR.. W. Strother
Jones, of st. Paul's Episcopal parish in
the ancient and aristocratic town, has
resigned his rectorship and accepted a
fiattering call extended to him by the
board of vestrymen of st. Michael's
church in Trenton, n. ].
DR.. Jones has served the Fairfield
parish faithfully and we'll for the past
eight years, and a strong bond of af-
lection has grown up between him and
his people, and while his parishioners
regret that he is to leave them they
rejoice in his advancement. They have
felt from the time that he assumed
charge of this parish that they would
not long be able to keep him; his capa-
bilities were such as merited a larger
church. At meeting of the vestry of
st Paul's church last night DR.. Jones's
resignation was accepted with regret.
Since taking charge of the Fairfield
parish DIR. Jones has received many calls
to parishes elsewhere, notably in New
Orleans, Rochester and Hagerstown,
Nd, but his liking for his Fairfield
parish was so great he has constantly,
up to the present, declined all overtures
to 90 elsewhere. Now his family is
growing, and he thought he would not
be justified in declining this latest call.
He, too, has a good deal of sentiment
about leaving Fairfield, as he was mar
| ried there in November, 1883, to Miss
Minnie Smoot, of Alexandria, and two
of his children were born there. The
parish, st. Michael's, of which he will
take charge in October, is large one,
and the mother church of Trenton. 1t
has a handsome rectory attached,
which is situated opposite the State
| house.
Dr.Jones graduated from Washington
and Lee University in 1872, and from
the Alexandria (Virginia) Theological
Seminary in 1876. In 1894 the president
and fellows of his alma mata conferred
upon him the degree of Doctor of Di-
vinity. After being ordained he serv-
ed two years in Fauquier county. Then
he was called to the handsome church
of st. Thomas's parish, Baltimore coun-
ty Maryland, as assistant minister to
the Rev. William F. Lockwood. On
Mr.. Lockwood's death after four years
he became rector and served as such
for six years. In October, 1855, he &C
cepted q unanimous call to st. Paul's,
Fairfield.
DIR. Jones il in the prime of vigor-
Gus manhood, and St. Paul's loss is St:
Michael's gain. He comes of good old
Virginia stock. His great grandfather
was Chief Justice Marshall. His moth
er's father was Thomas Marshall, the
eldest son of the chief justice. He was
brought up on the old place in Virginia.
He is powerful and sincere preacher,
and st. Paul loses valuable rector

THOUGH Mr.. Hit, the republican
chairman of the republican committee
on foreign affairs of the republican U.
S. House of Representatives, rushed
with impetuous haste to the support Of
Mr.. Cleveland's declaration Of war"
against Great Britain, on account OF a
boundary line between her possessions
and those of Venezuela, and though
the immense republican majority Of
that body rallied at his call, the ST.
Louis convention said never a word
about Venezuela; nor has the Presi-
dent opened his mouth about that
country for months. But when the
war manifesto referred to was issued
there was a possibility of third term,
and also of the Presidential nomina-
ton of the Speaker of the House. Cir
cumstances alter cases as much now as
ever before, but war is too horrible,
even to the victors, to be risked to adj
vance the personal ends of politicians.
