NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS.
Crane for Governor-The Chicago Plat
 form Not EndOrsed.

Trenton, N. J., Sept 2S.-The demo- cratic state convention to-day nomi- mated for governor of New Jersey El win J. Crane, the prosecutor of Essex county, and adopted aNplatform which in a measure supports the democratic national platform.l The convention, however, defeated a proposition to spe- officially endorse the platform adopted by the Chicago convention of 1896. MT. Cranes name was not the only one presented to the convention, but before the first ballot had been completed it was seen that he was the popular can- didate and his nomination was made unanimous. w. B. Gouley of Paterson was made chairman and the proceed ings were without special incident un- til the majority report of the commit tee on resolutions was reported by Sen- ator Edwards. This was followed by a minority report by Thomas F. Lane of Union. There was a noisy time among the delegates and some confusion, but Chairman Gouley promptly submitted the minority proposition to insert an endorsement of the Chicago platform to the convention without debate and de- clared it defeated For few moments there was considerable turmoil, but fin ally the silver men accepted the situa- tion gracefully. Later when MT. Crane had been named, Senator Daly and Clarence Atkinson, both of whom were special favorites of the silver men and were candidates for the nomination, promised to do all they could to insure MT. Cranes election.

AN4BsCoNDING BANK TELLER.
Frederick T. Moore, Who Took S30, ,O0O
 May be in Ohio.

Boston, Sept. 28.-Chief Inspector Watts received telegram from Mariet- ta, O., to-day, asking whether or not Frederick T. Moore was still wanted by the Boston police. The chief answered that the man was wanted here very much. No answer had been received late this afternoon. The reward of $5,- 900 offered some months ago by the Ma tional Bank of Commerce for the cap- ture of it's former assistant teller, who absconded with about S30,000, has never been recalled. As far as can be learned the telegram from Marietta was prompted by the suspicion that man giving the name of Hans Henry Capers of New York and New Orleans, who was married there to a Philadelphia girl day or two ago may be Moore. The judge who issued the marriage license was shown photograph of Moore and was struck by the similarity between Moore and the man to whom the license had been granted. Then 1t is said that the writing of "Capers" on the mar riage record and a specimen of Moore s writing were compared and that the similarity was marked. It was said also that Capers was seen to count a roll of money containing $5,000.

 in Denver, Col.

 martial trial of Chaplain Joseph McIn-
 tyre of the battleship Oregon was re-
 sumed to-day. Charles H. Sage, a real estate agent, who heard MT. McIntyres
 lecture on August 8, testified that the

 stantially correct, He said the chap
 lain spoke sneeringly of Captain Evans
 number of times as Fighting Bob, '" Harry s. Babcock of Denver testified that Chaplain Mcintyre stated that when the Cristobal Colon surrendered
 the American vessels, aside from the Oregon, were 'hull down" behind which,
 he explained meant at least eight miles
 away, and that Admiral Sampson re-
 ported himself four miles from the place
 at the time and would thus receive $10,- QUO Of prize money. He verified the testimony of other witnesses in regard | to the contemptuous reference to Cap tain Evans.
 S. w. Dewitt of Washington, D. C., testified that Chaplain Mcintyre said | the New York and other vessels were | invisible to the eastward when the Cristobal Colon surrendered, and yet Admiral Sampson reported himself within the four-mile limit and would re- ceive a part of the prize money He testified that the chaplain said: Fight | ing Bob," with the Iowa, was running
 away from the fight when the Oregon
 was going into it. He also told of other | illusions made to Captain Evans as | Fighting Bob" and he said the speak CTS manner was not agreeable when
 making such allusions. He testified | that the chaplain said that the eastern
 shipbuilders had pulls" with the gov- | ernment.

LAYTGNE AND ERNE MATCH.
After Twenty Rounds 1t is Declared n
 Draw.

New York, Sept. 2S.-"Kid" Lavigne, the recognized lightweight champion pugilist of the world, came very near losing his title tonight at the Greater New York Athletic club in twenty round bout with Frank Erne Erne proved a tartar for the Saginaw boxer who is not the Lavigre of three years ago by any means. Ernes wonderful improvement was a surprise to the 1000 people who were present. He drew Lavigne to him and sent back as good as he got in many of the rounds, while in some of them he outpointed the champion. It was generally understood that a decision was to be given on points, but it had been agreed that if both men were on their feet it should be a draw. Had it been decided on points Erne would certainly have got the championship honors.

 quarters mt Lexington, Ky.


 quarters mt Lexington, Ky.
 Washington, Sept. 2S.-Secretary AL ger says the report of a scene in Gen. eral Breckinridge's headquarters at Lexington, when he was inspecting that camp, is absolutely without foundation. There was no scene, no high words and no excited language. The secretary says the story was made out of whole cloth. Secretary Alger and Generals Ludington and Sternberg eachhave let ters from General John A. Wiley who was reported as having made accusa- tions against them, expressing his re- sret that any such report was circu- lated. That to Secretary Alger follows:
 Camp Hamilton, Ky, Sept. --. My Dear General Alger:
 I have seen that some of the northern papers are making q great display of head lines" showing how l pitched into" Gen erals Alger, Ludington and Sternberg at General Breckinridge's headquarters on the 2Oth inst. How l called you down, etc. etc" A lot of untruthful trash Every word l said was directed to you personally. and we were within five feet of each other and you no doubt heard every word of it. Not q word or sentence was uttered at that or any other time, with reference to yourself, General Ludington or General Sternberg, ex- cept in expression of the highest regard and respect for yourself.
