NEW YORK CAMPAIGN
LATEST PHASE OF THE INTEREST
ING METROPOLITAN SITUATION.
SENSATIONAL GEORGITE ACTION.
Does II Mean Decentralization of the
Forces of the Famous Single
Heavy.

NEW YORK, october S-The most sem
sational event Of the day In the NUM-
cipal campaign was the action taken to-
night by the Henry George Campaign
Committee. The Citizens Union county
ticket in New York, the Mclaughlin
Democratic county ticket In Kings coun-
ty, the Mullen Democratic ticket in
Richmond, and the Madden Democratic
county ticket in Queens, are all to be
endorsed.
At IL o'clock it was said that the AS
sembly and aldermanic and borough tick
cts of these same organizations had also
been endorsed, but this could not be
verified.
The Georgites started in to name city
ticket of their own. and by II o'clock
1t was reported that Charles Frederick
Adams, for President Of the Council, was
the only man chosen. 1t is understood
that he will withdraw as a candidate for
the Court of Appeals against Judge Alton
B. Parker, the regular Democratic cam
didate.
1t is said the conclusion reached Is the
work of Tom L. Johnson, and some OF
the members Of the Campaign Committee.
What the effect will be it is hard TO fore
cast. but tonight II looked IS If it would
demoralize Henry Georges forces. The
United Democracy, which first nominated
George. declared tonight through its
leaders. that it had done with the George
movement.
Secretary Stover. of the Democratic AL
lance, was equally outspoken. The Popu-
lists seem TO take the same view.
Later, it was said that Charles Henry
Adams had not been chosen for President
of the Council
1t developed and was admitted by Citi-
zens' Union leaders and Georgeites that
there was n deal on between the two.
The registration, which began to-day. is
unusually large for n non-presldential
year. In Brooklyn, the number who regis
tered to-day was 75,0l3, as compared with

sHAPIRO-ROSEN SUIT.
The Jury Returned a Sealed Verdict.
Expert Testimony.

BALTIMORE, MD, October S.-(Spe-
cial)-The breach-of-promise suit OF
Miss Carrie Shapiro. of Richmond, Va,
against Nathan Rosen, a cloak-manufac-
turer Of this city. was concluded in the
Court of Common Pleas to-day. The
case went TO the jury, which returned
sealed verdict. The contents of this will
be announced Monday. Four witnesses
were examined, and arguments made be-
fore the jury. Miss Shapiro was re-
called, and it seemed as II the strain
of the trial was telling on her. She SIM
ply reiterated the statement that Mr..
Rosen had proposed TO her, and not she
70 him. as had been intimated Dr.
Archibald Atkinson, practitioner of
medicine since 1885, who served with
General Jubal A. Early in the civil war,
was called to give expert testimony on
Miss Shapiro's alleged fiat foot. which
Rosen states was his reason for break
ing off the engagement. The physician
stated that he did not believe that the
slight deformity of Miss Shapiro's foot
would be transmitted to offspring, ex-
cent I'm the slightest degree. He gave
the shape of her foot Latin name
which simply paralyzed the jury. In
other words. he explained that he meant
the foot was fiat, and that he found IL
so on examination. Asked IL he had ever
come across any fiat feet In the army,
DIR. Atkinson replied: "Yes: had one my
self. and could walk twenty-eight miles
In a day."

GENERAL LEE ACCEPTS.
General Lee. said Captain Laughton
needs no Introduction on the American
continent, and as the General rose TO ac-
cept the portrait of General Butler on
behalf of the camp he was greeted with
an ovation which lasted for several min
utes. He was cheered 10 the echo and
loudly applauded, and the heartiness Of
his reception appeared to give him much
pleasure.
He began by addressing himself to the
members of r. T.. Lee Camp, but he
corrected himself saying that only We
smaller fellows have the initials"
He expressed great pleasure at meeting
the members of the camp. He saw many
infantrymen and artillerymen around
him, but few cavalrymen, and then he

of my heart vibrate. and see again the
achievements OF Beauregard. Fray,
Johnston, and Stonewal Jackson. l see
the soldiers all over the hillsides. plains,
and valleys of Virginia. and In Maryland,
where they made their splendid record.
Look on the pages of history. he said,
and you will find that we have matched
every record OF heroism. He then drew
comparisons between Thermopylae and
the battle of Sharpsburg. fought Septern-
ber H. 1862; between the charge Of the Ma
tional Guard of Napoleons army at wa
terloo and the charge Of Picketts and
Pettigrew's men at Gettysburg; between
the charge of the Light Brigade at Ba-
laklava and the battle of Brandy Station.
and the charge OF cavalry on the left at
Gettysburg
In accepting the portrait. General Lee
said It had been his fortune to know
General Butler well and he had learned
to love the man. He did his full duty.
and never tried to detract from his
brother-soldiers In all the gallery there
would be found no soldier whose record
is purer or brighter than Buffers he
said. because he was as brave as any
cavaryman who ever leaped into the
saddle and drew an unstained blade for
the cause he knew was right.
After the singing of loft On the Silly
Night by Captain Cunningham, the
camp adjourned, although II was an
nounced that the musical programme was
far from being finished.
