OF Candidates for City Offices.

There are several names mention
ed in connection with city offices for
ei,,- q, .i.Ye1eah ipG electiau, many Of
them probably without authority.
A number of people think W. >.
Ross would be the best democratic
candidate for mayor, others would
prefer j. NJ. Smith, and still others
want Alderman John Gorgen pro-
NOTED. j. W. Hutchinson has been
suggested as IA good man to head the
republican ticket, but that gentle
man saws no. Dr. Stansmore Vivian
is favorite of many, but that he
would accept is doubtful, 1t is re-
ported that Mayor Gilman wishes
to retire from public service owing
to i'll health.
For supervisors, republicans talk
OF James Spensley, j. w. Hutchison,
John Knight, John Dave and Mich
olas Treweek in their respective
wards.
There is dearth of timber for alder
men. j. J. Penhallegol and Henry
Ivey are spoken Of by republicans in
the first ward, James Jackson and {.
II. Terrill for the second, David
Brown and Harrison Willard for the
third, John w. Chambly aud Chas.
Winn for the fourth.
For clerk, the names of II. :. Well
and Ed. Brown are mentioned by
democrats, while republicans sug-
gest J Il. Reynolds, Ed. Bennett, j.
f.. Hosking and John Anderson ms
suitable men for the place.
JAS. NJ Toay is the only name
mentioned by republicans for treas
urer, and we thus far hear Of no dem
ocrat anxious 10 contest for the
place.
For marshall Doc. Holmes is APP
parently the favorite among demo-
Gratis, while republicans are divided
In preference among several good
mon, including Matt. Jackson and
T. /. Early.
For street commissioner there are
several willing patriots. Republi-
cans talk of Anthony HuNtable, Jo-
seph PrideauX, Peter Opie, ct al
The only democrat we have heard
named for the place is David Quirk.
Most of the foregoing is mere Cos
sip, and given only az such, without
desire to prejudice any possible can
didate favorably or unfavo.ably.

ELEVEN DROWNED
Of the Passengers on the Wrecked
Steamer Scotsman.

Rfmouski, Que, Sept 29.-The steam
er Montfort, carrying 249 of the passen-
gers of the wrecked steamer Scotsman
has arrived here bringing the news that
eleven of the Scotsman's passengers
were drowned. The wreck occurred at
Change Island eight days ago. The
steamer Monterey took off nine steer
age passengers and As of the crew and
56 second class and steerage passengers
were left on the island. Those drowned
and known were:
Mrs. Robertson, wife of the manager
of a soap company of Montreal; Miss
Robertson, her daughter; Mrs. Childs,
wife of the manager of the Sign of the
Cross company, which was on board;
Miss Duncan and Miss Street, her COM
ps.nion, of Montreal; Mrs. Dickson, of
Windsor, Ont, wife of a former editor
of the Toronto Globe; Miss r. Weaver,
fant of Mrs. Robertson. all of Montreal
The people who were left on the island
are now on their way to Liverpool and
the others will arrive at RimOuski by
steamer Germanica. The Scotsman
struck at 2;30 Friday morning last and
the people on board since that time
have suffered untold hardships.
The boat struck with such violence
that her huh crunched and shivered
from bow To stern, and as there was
heavy sea running, the officers i'm
Tnediately ordered all the boats out be-
cause it was feared the vessel might
slip off the sand bank and sink. The
women and children were packed in the
first available boats, but the sea was
so heavy that one of the boats was
swamped and it was due to this that so
many women were lost.
As soon as the ship struck the. crew
invaded the cabins and sacked all the
baggage. They got drunk and held high
carnival all night, singing and dancing
and insulting the helpless passengers,
while the officers were utterly unable
TO restrain them.
The wrecking steamer Ranger left
Liverpool today to aid the Scotsman
and at the request of the local agents
here the admiral in charge at Halifax
has dispatched a warship from New
foundland 10 protest the Scotsman and
her cargo from wreckers.

sign of prosperity"
E. S. Lacey. president Of the Chicago
clearing house and Of the Bankers Ma
tiOnaI bank. said
THE matter of raising the interest on
balances has been discussed This talk
has developed from the fact that ths
interest paid for the use of the money
is now near five per cent, and soma
banks in other cities are paying high
rates of interest, the rate in New York
being as high as 2 per cent The con-

a WIFE,s DOWER.
Can q Husband Deprive Her of Any
Share of His Estate Is the Question


What promises to be an interesting
controversy was opened IN the probate
court today by Angelica H. Griffin nj
ing an affidavit stating that the First
National bank of Manhattan had re-
fused to turn over to her the moneys
band, Chas. N. Griffin, who died at the
Stormont hospital in this city about
three weeks ago, leaving an estate
worth several thousand dollars. His
widow was appointed special admins
traitor of the estate by Judge Dolman,
and it was in this capacity that she
made the demand on the Manhattan
bank.
The demand was refused by the bank
on the authority of John E. Hessin, the
well known Manhattan attorney and
politician. Hessin represents Chas 5.
woodruff of Dover, N J., who was
named as executor of Griffin's estate in
a will made in 1882, and who now will
attempt TO control the disposition OF the
estate over the>head of Mrs. Griffin. A
copy of the will filed here shows that
the entire estate, with the exception OF
a life dover to his widow, was left by
Griffin equally between his mother and
the Mission society OF the Methodist
Episcopal church of New York. His
mother has since died, and according to
the win the estate would revert to the
Mission society.
1t is said that Griffin made a later
will in 1890, but again named Wood
run dS MS S1ASSuIOA' hS II Ae-
gives the widow one half of the eS-
tate, but in New York the executor has
arbitrary disposition. An attempt will
be made to remove the probation of the
estate from Kansas to New York.
Judge DOlman today issued an order
citing the officers of the bank to appear
on October 3. and show cause why they
should not turn over Griffin's moneys
and effects to his widow. This will open
the controversy in earnest.
Griffin lived in Manhattan for several
years and owned considerable property
both in the west and in the east. For
some reason it seems that he told his
wife but little concerning his affairs.
When he came to the StOrmont hospital
here he came alone and brought his
panerS with him.

DEWEY AND THE SHARK.

[From the Washington Start
This story seems too good not to be
true, but the writer refuses to be re-
sponsible for it.
At Mobile bay, after the fall of New
Orleans, Dewey was a junior watch Of
ficer on the steam sloop Mississippi The
ships cook-called in naval parliance
the ''doctor''-was a superstitious old
darkey and with an extreme dread of
a faith in the danger of sharks, but
Dewey held out that they would never
bite a human being. The latter point
was long in controversy between them.
one day Dewey was sent ashore in
the ships dingey on some trifling duty.
He had on, as usual. a frock coat with
very long tails, such as all naval Off
GERS wore in those days. In obedience
to orders, he hurried back, the slOop
being on the point of getting under
weigh and as he sat in the stern of the
slxiff his coat tails trailed in the water.
Just as the dingey was on the point Of
reaching the vessel a shark rose to the
surface-perhaps attracted by the gilt
buttons on the coat tails aforesaid
and bit off the Starboard side of the
heutenant's after uniform.
Dewey jumped to his feet, and. we'll

relinquish his coat tails, ran up the

rail of the vessel, approached him pres

the familiarity customarily allowed
him on board. Perhaps, Massa Dewey,

TWO BOATS BURNED
at the Foot of Van Buren, Street In
Chicago

R J. Gordon and Ivanhoe were destroy
ed by fire tonight while lying in Lake
Michigan at the foot of Van Buren
street. The fire originated on the Ivan
hoe from an unknown cause and spread
quickly to the Gordon which was tied
alongside the Ivanhoe. The flames
spread so rapidly that John Mcdonald,
the engineer of the Gordon who was
sleeping on board, was compelled to
jump into the lake and swim ashore.
Both boats have been used for years
in local excursion traffic, running be
tween the down town part of the city
and bathing resorts to the south. They
were old steamers, and nearly past
their usefulness. The loss on both boats
amounts to $50. 900.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

"a Bachelors Honeymoon returned
to Topeka last night, and the audience
that laughed at its clever complications
and ludicrous situations was much
larger than both the audiences that saw
it at the Grand Opera House last season
combined.
This Stapleton farce contains some of
the best situations that have been pro-
Vided by American writer's for Ameri-
can theater goers since the advent of
farcical productions. They are so
strong in the humorous and ludicrous
that laughter is a certain result ire
spectiVe of the degrees of capability
displayed by the people handling the
farce. This is demonstrated by the fact
that the laughter at the performance
last night was as spontaneous and pro
lOnged that indulged in by the for
mer Topeka. audiences, and the COM
pany presenting the piece this year IS
not wholly as competent as that of last
season.
Mr.. William McVay, who this season
has Mr.. Walkers place as Benjamin
Bachelor, is not altogether at home in
farcical work Up to the present en-
Sagement, Mr.. McVay'S career on the
stage has been marked by tragedy ex-
cluSively, and it is in the little things
in which Mr.. Walker eXcelled that he
shows he is not on the most friendly
terms with comedy detail. But the diff
ference between Mr.. McVay and Mr.
Walker is not so plainly noticeable as
the difference between Miss Verne Cas-
ST Pierre The latter produced a ser
want character that was exceptional,
while conscientious work is the most
that can be placed to the formers cred
it. Also in the parts now taken by Mr..
William Brewer and Miss Mary Tracy,
there is a noticeable difference between
their work and that of their predeces-
sors.
However, it is practically only by
comparison that the present perform
ance of "A Bachelors Honeymoon falls
short. The farce provided ample enter
tainment for the large audience, and
was enjoyed. Miss Della Stacey still
has the leading female part, and re-
ceiyed several encOres for her songs
in the second act. Miss Stacey should
contrive to display her ability as whist
Ter more, even at the sacrifice of her
vocal efforts.
A second performance of the farce
will be given tonight After this season
it will probably be abandoned by Warde
& Sackett, as Stapleton is now adapting
a farce from the German for this man
agement.
