| platform Democrats of the State of New
| York formed an Eastern District State

| gates in attendance.
| The conference was held at Agricultural
Hall, and was presided over by Calvin E.
Reach, a prominent silver Democrat of
| Lansingburgh. Levi S. Lewis, of Albany,
acted as secretary.
Mr.. Reach will be remembered as hav-
| ing entertained candidate William j. Bry-
an at his home on the occasion of his
visit to this section during his memorable
| campaign.
The principal object of today's meeting
was to memorialize the Democratic State
convention in order TO compel it, IL possi-
| bic, this year TO adopt the Chicago plat
form and to put no man in nomination
who is not in sympathy with that declar-
alton.
A similar organization has been per-
| fected for the western part of the State
at meeting recently held at Chester, and
! today'S conference appointed committee
/ on permanent organization to meet the
! Rochester people to draft constitution
/ and bylaws for the combined organiza-
| ton, which committee is to report at the
next meeting to be held during the week
! Immediately following the State Demo-
] cratic convention. An organization is also
! to be perfected in the central part of the
4 State
The conference today passed a number
! of resolutions demanding a reaffirma tion
of the Chicago platform by the next Dem
| ocratic State convention. and commencing
the patriotic action of William J. Bryan
| in offering his services to the National
| Guard to fight for his country in the war
! with Spain; also refusing support to any
candidate in this Falls election who did
not vote the regular Democratic party
| ticket in 1896. or who is not now in sym
| pathy with the Chicago platform.
| A committee was appointed TO present
| these resolutions TO the Democratic lead
ers at Saratoga
Mr.. Reach stated afterward that the
| main object of the organization IS 10 keeI
! Bryan's name before the Democracy as
their real standard bearer, and prevent
encroachments upon his prestige by ennis
saries of German, Hill, Croker and others
whom the silver Democrats do not trust
1t was intimated that unless the Demo
| cratic conventions put I'D a silver man fol
| governor. the Chicago platform Demo
Gratis would name a straight-out ticket OF
! their own.

might have felt more fiattered on the
score of the atfractiveness of their jew
els and plate.
But a strip of a lad, twelve years DID,
and small at that, even when he con-
fessed his designs upon their property

and from the hole protruded bare toe.
Mr.. Holden stuck his hand under the
bed and pulled out little Johnnie Con-
way, who said he was real burglar ana
| lived at No. SIS Eighth Street.
There is a police station on the same
block with Mr.. Holdens house, and
while Mrs. Holden held the fort at home
Mr.. Holden escorted the burglar TO IL
There Johnnie Conway broke down and
again said he was a real burglar, this
time confessing instead of boasting.
'Ephraim Budd nd me crawled in at a
window to rob the house after we saw
the people go out. They come back be-
| fore we finished the job. Eph got out
at the winder, but / didn't have the

AN ALLEGED PYRoMANIAC.
John wefert's Actions Have Aroused
SusDicion


New York Aug 10.-The Jersey City
police say that John Haubert is pyro-
maniac, and they attribute to him the
crime of setting fire to John Weastelrs
barn. at No. Isl Monticello Avenue. The
barn was found to be burning just be-
fore dawn today
Revenge for the loss of his position is
supposed to have prompted Haubert to
commit arson
Haubert formerly worked for Weastell,
but he was discharged several weeks
ago.
Since then he has been seen lettering
near the barn and twice fires have been
discovered in the building, the origin of
which could not be learned.
The third fire was discovered today by
man who slept in the barn. The fire
men put cut the blaze after it had burn
cd the haters from several cows and
horses stabbed in the structure.
Policeman Bracten, of the Communipaw
Avenue police station. caught Haubert
in a field near the barn.
The man was running in the direction
of CoTneilsoH Avenue. a mile or more
away. from whence another alarm of fire
had just been turned in.
In Hauberts pocket was found a key to
the Weasten barn. The police think that
the suspected incendiary has an accom-
plice. who pulled the alarm box in Cor
nelson Avenue in order 10 lure the fire
men away from the Weastell fire.
Haubert. it is said. has a mania fol
( watching fires and running to them. He
4 is twenty-three years old and lives at No
/ 3i3 East Forty-third Street, New York.
! The prisoner. who gave the name ot
] John Haubert in Justice Aiayes's police
court, was held without bail for examina'
! tion next Wednesday.
John Weastell. the owner of the barn
I declares that one of his own realtives
( whom he discharged recently, was in q
conspiracy with TWO other discharged en-
| ployes to destroy property for revenge.

CAPT. MEREDITH DEFEATED.
He Went to Chicago to Await His
Credentials


Capt. William NJ Meredith. formerly
chief of the Bureau of Printing and En-
craving, was a candidate before the To-
cal commandery Of the Union Veteran 5
Union at its meeting Monday night for
election as a member of the ,commandery
that body now in session at Rock Island,
Ill
A plan had already been arranged by
which Capt. Meredith was to be elected
a member of the Union Veterans Union.
and then a delegate to the convention in
vention an Endorsement of his claims
for reinstatement as chief of the Bureau
of Printing and Engraving.
Some OF the members did not fancy
the use Of the local commandery of the
Union Veterans Union as an adjunct 10
Capt. Meredith's claims to political pref
erence, and when his name was proposed
as member of the local commandery,
after a spirited debate IL was rejected.
This disposed of his chances for be-
coming delegate to the national con-
vention- So certain had the friends of
Capt Meredith been OF his election as a
delegate that his credentiols had already
been sent to him and all that was nee
essary was TO notify him OF his election
by telegraph and he could have present
ed his credentials TO the convention on
Tuesday and secured its Endorsement.
Capt Meredith is resident of Chicago
where he lived before ne became chief
of the bureau and where he has
lived since he was replaced by Chief
johnson. He is very anxious TO secure
his reaDDointment and has worked very
hard to that end. He was a friend oi
President Harrison while in the army and
was superintendent of a large bank note
firm in Chicago when President Harri-
son appointed him chief of the Bureau OF
Printing and Engraving.
