came. Flying debris struck him on the
head, tearing 1t open down to the end of the

bulance, and his injuries may result fatally.
AT 2:30 o'clock the fire, though still burn

and at o'clock, with the exception of
patches of burning embers had been extin-
guished. Nothing was left of the two top
floors but the broken walls, while the three
lower floors suffered damage from water
and falling debris.
The fire came so suddenly that the Wa
bash Company was prevented from saving
anything. Every record in the office of the
chief engineer, rights of way, real estate
deeds and surveys of every description were
destroyed. An officer of the company esti-
mates its loss at $500 900. Real estate men
place the value of the building at S400 900.
The Wabash Company had secured new
quarters before the fire was under control.
The burned building was insured for $685.

Women Hold "a Political Meeting in
Cooper Union, Shout for Seth Low
and Hiss Croker and Platt.
VIEWS OF PARTY MANAGERS
STATEMENTS FROM CHAIRMAN
QUIGG AND GEN. A. G. M'COOK.
Former Is Confident Tracy VIII Win
E-nd the Latter Is Certain Low
Will Gain the Victory.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Cooper Union was
never before the scene of such a strange po-
litical meeting as that which took place
there this afternoon. The majority of those
at the meeting were women, and women
from Murray hill and Riverside drive and
West End avenue at that. The women were
adherents of the Woman's Municipal
League, which advocates the election of
Seth Low, and the meeting they got up was
designed to show what they could do in
political way, even If they did not have
votes Each woman was supplied with a
bannerette on which was the word Low"
The flags were waved when the women
wished to applaud. The men who came in
for Kisses were principally Croker and
Platt. There were few Kisses and a good
deal Of applause for George, but more for
Low. Among those who organized the
meeting were Mrs. Felix Adler, Mrs. Morris
X. Jessup, Mrs. ]. Kennedy Tod, Mrs. w.
H. Shiefflin and Mrs. Schuyler Van Rens-
selaer. When the women and their male
friends filled the hall the doors were closed,
and an overflow meeting took place outside.
Unlike the meeting of men, the proceed
ings were begun promptly on time Colonel
George E. Waring, the STRENGTHENING COM
missioner, called the meeting to order and
introduced Mayor Strong as chairman.
Mayor Strong said he was a dyed-in-the-
wool Republican and had always voted the
Republican ticket, but it was because he
loved the Republican party that he pro-
posed to vote against the Republican ticket,
clean out the Augean stables and place that
party on firm foundation.
The mayor then introduced James c. Car
ter. The women waved their bannerettes
and applauded the mayor nberally during
his speech. They also cheered Mr.. Carter
as he proceeded to state to them what they
should do to elect their candidate When
Mr.. Carter mentioned the name of General
Tracy there were faint Kisses and slight ap-
plause.
Rev. DR.. William Rainsford said that
three years ago one man throttled Tam
many and brought it to the earth. 1t was
too bad that DR.. Parkhurst was not here
now. Joseph H. Choate was received with
great applause Mr. Choate excoriated SEN
ator Platt, elicatfng feafss f EES lFter- by his
flashes of wit. Seth Low spoke next, MAX
ing his customary argument for home rule
Seth Low invaded the Bowery tonight,
speaking to several hundred laboring men
and small shopkeepers in the Thalia Thea
ter. He was very warmly applauded. His
speech was brief-a plea for local self-gov-
ernment and the dethronement of Platt and
Croker. Several men prominent in the ranks
of organized labor were the stage and
made speeches. Mr. Low also addressed a
meeting tonight in Teutonia Assembly
rooms. Seth Low and Mayor Strong ad-
dressed still another big meeting at Mac
dougall Hall.

No Change in Their Proposition.

PTTTSBURG, Oct. 27-The Central Sell
ing Agency for the marketing of the COM
bined product of the window-glass factories
of the United States was established in

"Hurrah for the Tammany Tiger, and

CHICAGO, Oct. pa Mayor Harrison, ac-
companied by his cabinet, a brass band and
nearly three hundred broad-shouldered
members of the Cook County Democracy,
all wearing silk hats and smiles Of various
degrees of breadth, left here at / o'clock
this afternoon for three days stumping
tour of Greater New York. "Hurrah for
Tammany and to blazes with George" was
the sentiment of the leaders of the dele
cation, and the Westerners apparently
mean to act on this feeling in way that
will make the Tammany tiger purr with
joy. Nearly every prominent Democratic
politician OF Chicago was in the party. Oil
Inspector Bob Burke. City Treasurer
Hummel, olssef Of Police Ripley, City At
torney DevIhe, Corporation Counsel Thorn
ton Commissioner of Public Works Nc
Gam, Superintendent of Street Cleaning
FitzsimmonS and National Committeeman
Gahan were included in the mayors party.
AT 1890 O'Clock .the boys' lined up at

Captain Farrell and a band marched to the
City Hall and escorted the mayor and his
cabinet to the Lake Shore depot, where a

reported in good condition and amid cheers
from Democrats left behind the train
pulled out.
Leaders of the party declared that the
fight will be exclusively against Henry
George. Chicago Democrats, they claim,
have a good deep grrdge against the sin
gle-tax advocate. In s1s94 Mr. George made
several speeches here for John 2. White,

election resulted in the defeat of John ].

The Democratic leaders, it is said, have not

How the Brooklyn Ladies "HustIe'
for Good MIR. Low.
Nroxx, vo~ir Lsxrapfpv SIM

There were some choice examples of fem
mine logic at the Brooklyn women's Low
meeting last week. After a denunciation of
Mr.. Platt, so scorching that it fairly made
your hair curl TO listen to it, President
Scrimgeour abruptly changed her tone and
said: still, 1 do believe we'd forgive him
every single thing of all the dreadful things
he's done if he'd just 90 up there to Albany
and say that we could vote" 1t was Pres
ident Scrimgeour who, in the midst o. a.
perfect howl of applause raped her gavel
and when the lull at last came, said
Ladies, ladies-I forgot to time that APP
plause and l read in some paper that the
Republican women cheered Tracy the other
day for five minutes. Just do 1t all over
again, please pulling out her watch and
mind you. make 1t six minutes" There
was a peculiarly Brooklynish flavor to Mrs
Backuss proposition that although the
woman OF to-day had not those things to
contend against that women of olden times
had, yet her path was still beset with diff
ficultes. Remember, said Mrs. Backus
feelingly and in dead earnest. our trolley

General Daniel F. sickels to-day an
nounced that he would vote and work for
General Tracy and the whole Republican
ticket.
Rev. Edward McGlynn, whose advocacy
of Henry Georges theories brought him into
conflict with Archbishop Corrigan in 1886, is
frequent visitor at the George headquar-
ters. While there to-day Dr. McGlynn said
that there was no clash between the Cath
Ole Church and Henry Georges theories.
AS was to be expected, the bicycle has ap-
peared as a factor in the campaign. Theo-
dore E. Willis, at present commissioner of
works at Brooklyn is candidate for tho
office of register of the borough of Brook
lyn In his interest there is a published
statement of street Improvements in the
years of Mr.. Wills's incumbency of the
commissionershp, and the amount of money
"a very large sum-expended therefor. The
statement concludes with the exhortation to
bicyclists to vote for one who has done so
much for their convenience and pleasure.
The message said to have been sent by the
Georgeite leaders to w. j. Bryan to give
the weight of his influence and eloquence
in aid of the Jeffersonian nominee is re-
garded as partial admission that their
cause is not in as hopeful condition as
those leaders have represented it to be. The
time is so short that it is scarcely to be ex-
pected that Mr.. Bryan will be induced to re-
spond.

TOLEDO, o., Oct. 27.-Wiliam j. Bryan
came into Ohio to-day to give finishing
touch to the campaign for the Democratic
ticket He is travelling in a private car
and opened at the little town of Montpelier
He had a good-sized audience and devoted
his speech to the free-silver issue and an
attack on Senator Hanna. From Montpel-
Ter Mr. Bryan was rushed to Defiance. then
to Paulding, where he held meetings this
afternoon. He addressed a meeting at Van
Vert this evening. These towns were re-
Gently visited by Senator Hanna and Mr..
Bryan's flying trip was intended to offset
the effect of that trip among the farmers
of northwestern Ohio. A peculiar feature
of Mr.. Bryans tour is the fact that it has
been kept as secret as possible by the Dem
ocratic leaders. The silver leaders will not
speak at any of the larger cities of the

At Montpelier Mr.. Bryan questioned the

then took up the silver question He said !.

had failed because the money changers were
opposed to it. Mr.. Bryan attributed the i'm

The testator states it was his purpose to

during his life a free school Of manual
training for the benefit of the children of
persons living and employed at Pullman,
and to expend at least $500, 600 for lands,
buildings and apparatus, and to provide a
fund of 81, 900 for the maintenance, man
agement and endowment of the school. His
executors are directed to set aside 81, 200 900
for this purpose.
If the estate shall be more than suffi-
cient to satisfy all the devises, trusts and
legacies, the executors are directed to di-
vide the excess into two equal shares and
to add the same respectively to the two
portions set apart in trust for the two
daughters, who are to receive all the prop
erty which becomes a part OF the residu-
airy estate. The Elberon property was given
to Mrs. Pullman by her husband some time
ago.
Under the law of Illinois, Mrs. Pullman

she will elect to abide by the terms of the

widow Tonight it was stated that the
provisions of the will giving her nothing
but the homestead and the yearly income
from 81 ,25O, 600 was no surprise to her. In
fact, it was asserted she and all the men,
bers of the family had known the contents
of the document since it was drawn, on
Sept II of this year. 1t was said it's dis
position of the property was perfectly
agreeable to her, and that she would abide
by its terms.
In legal circles the will and this portion
OF Ii were the subject of a discussion to-
night. When it was taken into considera-
tion that the widow was practically given
less than the daughters, and they were
made the residuary legatees, to divide be-
