THE ANTI-sCALPERs LAW.
New YOrIx's Ticket Brokers VIII Test
ITS COnstitutiOnaIity.

New York, Sept. 2.-The ticket brokers.
otherwise known as 'scalpers" have made
a test case by which they hope to have a
speedy adjudication of the anti-scalper
law which went into effect yesterday.
Sweetzer, Pembroke & Company, mer-
chants, caused the arrest of Frederick NJ.
Bolles, a clerk in the employ of Gustav
Lansing, charging him with having sold
the firm ticket to Norfolk Va, over the
Pacific railroad for $3.50. the regular fare
being $3.50.
The case is a friendly one. Bolles was
arrested and arraigned in the Center street
court. He admitted that he was not an
authorized agent of either of the transpor-
tation companies. Examination was waiv-
ed and Bolles was committed to the nomi-
nal custody of the Tombs warden. Later
Justice Beach, in the supreme court grant
ed writ of habeas corpus in Bolles' case.
The writ is returnabie on Sept. 8.
Bolies, in his application for the writ
says that the anti-scalpers law is uncon-
stitutional.

A FATAL TRAIN WRECK.
A Trucks Becomes Detached and
Causes a had Smash Up.

Cortland, N. r., Sept. 2.-Train No. T.
the south-bouud vestibule on the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western railroad
was wrecked at Blodgetts Mills at 1915
O'Clock this morning. The train consist
ed of an express car, a combination bag
gage and smoking car, a day coach and a
Pullman parlor.
The train which does not stop at Blod-
gett's Mills, was passing at the rate of
forty-five miles per hour on a straight
track. When about 500 feet north of the
station the rear truck of the day coach, in
some unexplainable manner, became de-
tached and left the rail. This truck knock
ed all of the trucks from under the parlor
car, which, after being dragged a few
rods, was turned on its side in a four
foot ditch. The rest of the train was
dragged $50 feet further and thrown
against the ice house of the milk station
after it struck the passenger station,
knocking it from its foundation.
When the engineer finally succeeded in
stopping the train 1t was found that Mrs.
]. H. McQuillan of Overbrook Pa, SUI
burb of Philadelphia, had been killed and
a number of others injured. Messengers
were sent to Cortland for physicians, who
went to the scene of the wreck by special
train.

Sea Grit N. j., Sept. 2.-Georgia still
continues to carry everything before ii in
the matches being held here under the
auspices of the New Jersey State Rifle
Association and the National Rifle Asso-
citation. The Georgia teams have won all
of the first prizes easily.
In the Interstate military match for the
bronze Soldier of Marathon" which was
presented by the governor of New York,
in 1875, to be shot for annually by teams
from the national guard of each state, the
Georgians did brilliant work. At 200 yards
Capt. Cam Lieut.. Wilson and Privates
Austin, Mercer and Wilson all scored the
possible ten bulls eyes in spite of bad
light and strong wind, which blew direct
ly across the range. The match is open
to teams of twelve men from the national
guard of each state and territory, ten
shots each at 200 yards and 500 yards. To-
day three states only were represented,
Georgia, New York and New Jersey, and
the southerners scored a victory by a
score of 1,1O7 points out of possible 100.
New York came next with 1,072, and New
Jersey was third with 1O22. The individual
eoorae of the winners follow.

SAVANNAH'S CRACK SHOTS.
SWEEPING THINGS BEFORE THEM
AT SEA GIRT.

The "SOIdier of Marathon" Returns
to This City For Another Year.
Five Clean Scores at 200 Yards.
The Hilton Trophy To-day, and
the Savannah Soldiers Straight
After Ii With Their Guns.
State Camp, Sea Girt, N. j., Sept. D.
The interstate contest for the possession
of the bronze Soldier of Marathon occur
red to-day, and Georgia Will hold this
trophy for another year, having won over
New York and New Jersey, who were the
only other contestants.
After the first six men of each team
had fired at 200 yards there was no doubt
as to the result of the match.
The Georgia men went up to 500 yards
with a lead of 80 points over New York,
which was in second place. At 500 yards
New York did better work, and came
within three points Of the score made by
Georgia at that range.
When the total score was recorded 1t
was found that Georgia had won by 50
points over New York, and that the Jer-
seymen were 40 points behind the team
from the Empire state
The unofficial records in the Regimental
match, skirmishing, show that the team
of the Guards won over the Engineer
Corps of Washington by a margin of about
so points. The winner in this match win
not be announced until tomorrow.
The Hilton trophy match will take place
Friday, with the same teams competing
as in the Interstate match, and it viii
only be necessary for Georgia to win the
match in order to make clean sweep of
all the team matches. This will not be
easy to do, however, as the New York
team is particularly strong at 500 and 600
yards.

NEBRAsKA's TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Free Silver Advocates Have United
On a Fusion Ticket.


On a Fusion Ticket.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 2.-As expected at
the start by the party leaders, the three
parties, democratic, populst and silver re-
publican, Joined hands in fusion and the
ticket placed in the field is:
For Supreme Court Judge-John ]. Sui
livan, democrat, Columbus.
For State University Regents-E Won
Forel of Kearney, populist, and George
F. REMOVER of Wisner, silver republican
Many delegates maintain that the pro-
ceedings were perfectly harmonious while
there are others who claim that there may
yet be dissension on the silver republican
side. For a while in the three conven-
tions this morning it looked rather preca-
rious for harmony, as the silver republ-
cans had very warm time, number of
the middle of the road" delegates talk
ing In favor of the nomination of a straight
ticket In order to preserve their organi-
zation. Finally it was announced that the
democrats and silver republicans had
agreed upon John ]. Sullivan for supreme
judge, and signs of fusion began to ap-
pear. Even then it was not until Judge
Neville urged the endorsement of Mr.. Sui
livan that the populists gave in.
At noon the agreement to fuse was final
~ reached ana the rest OF the proceed
ings were OF short duration.
1t became very evident near the close
of the convention that neither Scott Ne
vile or Thompson could be nominated by
any two of the conventions and the ma
neuVer for the democrats in substituting
Sullivan was considered a coup d'etat
that cut short what might have resulted
in a long drown, knotty convention, full
of fight and ultimately separating the
three parties so widely that fusion would
have been an unknown condition for years
to come. This is the opinion freely ex-
pressed on every hand. There were fff-
teen counties unrepresented in the popu-
list convention and about the same num-
ber in the other gatherings. The dele
gates began leaving the city as soon as
fusion became an assured thing, and by
evening there were scarcely a score at
any of the hotels.

RatchfOrd and His Colleagues De-
mand 60 Cents or Nothing.
Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 2.-Judging from
surface indications. it seems reasonably
certain that President Ratchford of the
United Mine Workers and his colleagues
in office will reject the offer of the opera
tors to return to work at the 64-cent rate
pending arbitration.
The sentiment among the miners here is
so intense for "a 69-cent rate or nothing
settlement that all the local labor lead
ers now in the city have advised strongly
for a continuation of the fight along the
present lines and to the bitter end.
d. W. Vaneman of Gastonville, manager
of the Pittsburg and Chicago Gas Coal
Company, went to Washington this morn
ing for the purpose of securing deputies.
The company, he says, is determined to
start the mines Tuesday next. Vaneman
fears trouble and wants the deputies for
that occasion 1t is said there was at first
a demand for 80 deputies
1t was expected that Senator Tillman,
who is visiting Beaver, Pa. just below the
city, would take hand in the strike mat
ters, but in response TO a telegram of Sec
retary Warner to-day asking him to come
to Plttsburg, the senator replied Come
to Beaver if you want to see me-"
Warner does not consider the trip neces-
SaTy.

JEALOUS OF SOUTHERN PORTS.
The North Speaks of unjust Dis

The North Speaks of "Unjust Dis
criminatiOn in Favor of the SOUTH"
New York, Sept. "A conference of
ship owners, merchants, brokers and
agents of the transatlantic steamship
companies was held here to-day for the
purpose of securing the passage of rules
regulating the loading of vessels.
The load water line is not the same in
southern as in northern ports. Shippers
of Norfolk Baltimore and other southern
ports can load vessels much deeper than
at New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
The profit on freight is much larger in
southern than in northern ports. The
rules of the British Board of Trade prevail
at New York, Boston and Philadelphia,
and it is on these the insurance ccmpa-
nies write policies on freight.
Charles s. Sumner presided at the con-
ference. Philadelphia was represented by
P. D. Todd, H. H. Enson, w. E. Barker
and l.. W. Neill. New York and Boston
were also represented.
MIR. Barker, in behalf of Philadelphia,
asked the cooperation of New York and
Boston in adapting some measures to put
a stop to the unjust discrimination in
favor of southern ports"
Mr.. Neill asked that the New York and
Boston committee secure the signatures
of the trunk railroad lines, in such COM
panies and bankers to a petition to the
British board of trade for a change IN
the North Atlantic load water line. He
said that the railroad companies, sugar
reineries, ETC., had signed the petition
in Philadelphia.
The conference decided TO secure the
signatures of railroad lines, insurance
companies, etc. to a petition to the Brit
ish board of trade to change the North
Atlantic load water line. 1t was also
decided that a joint letter on the subject
should be sent by the commercial organi-
cations of Boston, New York and Phila-
delphia to the commercial and shipping
associations of Great Britain.

SWEPT AWAY BY AN AVALANCHE.
Fatal Accident to "A Party of Plens-

Fatal Accident to n Party of Pleas
ure Seekers In Switzerland.
Berne, Switzerland, Sept. 2-Further ad-
vices from La Saalo, near Mount Pleureur
show that the reports of the accident to
a party of Alpine tourists in that vicinity
were not exaggerated.
Eight persons, it appears, started from
Sion, capital of the Canton of Valais,
with the intention of ascending Mount
Pleureur. The latter is u, 155 feet high,
and is not very difficult ascent from
Mauvoisi by the Gietrox eight hours be-
ing generally occupied in the task. The
tourists were led by Pastor CONN of Sion
and made the ascent divided into two par
ties of four each. The first of these par
ties reached the summit and the second
was only a short distance behind when
the four persons composing it were swept
by an avalanche into a crevasse a thous-
and feet deep
II Is still hoped that some of the tour
lists may be rescued. The missing party
was composed of Pastor Comm, two school
bows from Lausanne and young English
man named Bernard.
A guide who was sent out to search for
the bodies of the four tourists has re-
turned He reports that from the hight
from which the victims were swept, only
a leg and a jacket prouuding from the
snow were visible.

DEPUTY COLLECTORS HOLDINGS.
How the Civil Service Rules Are APP
piled to Minimize Politics.

Washington, Sept 2.--some of the depu-
ties in the Office of Col. James d. Brady,
the collector of internal revenue for the
Richmond. Va, district have protested
to the treasury department because Col.
Brady did not reappolnt them, and have
set up the claim that in failing to do so
Col, Brady violated the civil service regu-
lations.
AT the internal revenue bu-
reau 1t is pointed out that
by law leach collector is author
lied to appoint, under an instrument in
his own hand writing, as many deputies
as he may think proper" Deputies so
appointed must, If they are TO continue
their tenure, be reappointed by each suc-
cesding collector Under the exceptions
made by President McKlnleys recent or
der one deputy and one stamp deputy are
exempted from those who must be ap-
pointed under the civil service regulations.
While each collector can exercise his
discretion about reappointing his prede-
cessor's deputies, II he does not chose to
do so he must make his new appointments,
with the exceptions noted, from the eli-
gibe list. If there is no eligible list he
may, under the law make temporary ap-
pointments for thirty days.

team and Columbia trophy matches was
not begun until o'clock, and was not
finished until dark. The scores and win
ners will not be ascertained until to-mor-
row. IT is believed the Georgia first
team has taken the prize however.
There seems to be great possibility that
an All-America team, selected from the
crack shots now here. will be sent abroad
to meet all corners. Maj. Harris, inspect
or Of rife practice of the District OF Co
lumbia, is here tonight, and Is in con-
sultation with Inspector General of Rife
Practice Spencer OF New Jersey and
Inspector General of Rife Prac-
tlce Kirby of New York In regard to this
matter.
New York, New Jersey and Georgia will
meet again tomorrow to contest for the
Hilton trophy, and 1t Is expected about
the same men will line up In the compe-
tition as did to-day. No change In the
teams is expected, as the work done to-
day was excellent.
Gen. Wingate Of New York Is here this
evening as the guest of the New Jersey
Rife Association. He was among the
interested spectators to-day.

meeting as on that day the pool shooting
and the running matches will be taken up
