are going to win despite Crokers innu- committee men. The sentiment of the democratic party outside of Greater New York is decidedly OF posed to the dictation cf Tammany hall. It is time this dictatior was checked. It will be checked at the state convention. and that will be only the beginning
 So bitter has become the contest be- tween the Croker and the Hill Sheehan forces that the Bryan campaign appears to have been lost sight of entirely. Sheehan. like Hill, is not in sympathy with Bryanism. Both are looking ahead to obtain control of the party in this state for the future after the No- vember elections. Their friends say that Bryan and his associates cannot blame them, for Tsmmany began the game in trying to drive Hill out Of power in the party. Even If Bryan or Chairman Jones should try to interfere now, it is said no good would come of it, as the fight .hs nothing to do with Bryan or he with 1t.
 Sheehans tour of the state for the election of anti-Croker delegates tJ the rldle COnNSnllOH dlSD HdS the purpose to form a new organization in Erie county against Norman F. Mack One rf the most interesting battle grounds between the opposing forces will be Kings county. Comptroller Coler's friends hope for no favor from Hugh Mclaughlin, and the fight there will be- come an open one soon if the Willough- by street boss decides to remain in the Croker alliance.
 Sheehan and his associates assert tht they now can count Oh 222 votes Tn the state convention, and that taey know where they will get enough more to make the total at least 246. twenty more than a majority. MT. Sheehan. after securing around in upstate coun- ties. will return to Albany next week, where he and Hill will have a confer- ence with their lieutenants. Hill him. self will look after several districts where the issue Is uncertain.
 Meanwhile Croker is saying but It, tie. He has perfect confidence in his ability to influence enough delegates to put any man he wants in nomination.
 But little mention of the Croker can.

CROKER'S OPPONENTS
Sheehan Joins Hill In Antagon-
 izing the Boss
Bryan and the National Campaign Lost Sight of In the Factional Fight In New York For Party Control.

New York. Aug. 24-David Bennitt Hill and Richard Croker will never har- monize differences in this campaign, and the setback the Hill-Croker forces received in the committee meeting at Saratoga was but a forerunner of tho bitter war each is going to wage for su- premacy in state politics. Hill has just begun his fight, and he is enrolling some strong men n his ranks. In city and state politics Croker has always been all-powerful, but today it is q question whether he can defsat Hills purposes on the gubernatorial situa- tion-not whether Hill can defeat Cro- ker
 To the Hill-Croker combination has just been added a strong supporter. William F. Sheehan has come out bold ly and frankly for Hill and his party, and maintains that Comptroller Coler will be nominated by a safe ma jority as the democratic candidate for gover- nor of New York stete. It is taken as a formal declaration of war between the state democracy and Tammany hall and Shcenhan will lead the fight against Croker.
 The war will not end in the state con- vention, but will be carried into New York city's local politics and the mayor alty fight next year. It will be waged until the 'dictation of Tammany hall" to use a phrase of Sheehan, is destroyed and the commercial bosses" defeated

Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1900-04-01

City Engineer A. l. White has re-
signed his responsible Office under the
city government, and the official paper
will be handed to the Board of Public
Works tomorrow, so worded as to take
effect as soon as his successor can be
chosen by the Board.
The runner that this was coming has
been in circulation in restricted cir
Gle of close friends of the Official for
some days past, but did not become
anything like public until yesterday.
1t was so surprising as to meet with
general disbelief. but the Register can
vouch for its absolute truth. as Mr..
White has completed arrangements to
enter the brokerage firm of w r.
White & Co., where he will have large
interest, and to which he will devote his
entire time and attention.
Mr.. Whites connection with the engi-
neering department of the city govern
ment has been a long, creditable and
enviable one. His debut, as we say in
society circles, was made twelve years
ago, under Mr.. Frank Hoge, then city
engineer, and he continued to be Mr..
Hoge's right hand man through seven
years of Democratic rule. which shows
appreciation to an unusual degree.
When political change came about
at the City Hall, Mr.. Hoge took his de-
parture, in common with a number of
other Democratic servants of the peo-
pie, but Mr.. White remained, and was
elected City Engineer on the old basis
OF salary paid on the installment
plan through ordinance fees. This was
in 1895. In 1897 Council made a radi-
cal change in the City Engineers Of
ice, fixed a substantial salary, named
three assistants, and elected Mr.. White
to the position. He has since filled it
with credit to himself and distinct prof.
1t to the city. His first annual report
for the year 1899, was a pamphlet of
% pages, the first ever issued by a
city engineer, and one replete with val
liable city data.
Early in his term of office, under the
new order of things, Mr.. White propos-
ed and entered upon the work of max
ing detailed and accurate map of the
city, showing the location of all water
and gas pipes, sewers, etc, their di-
mansions and depth, and vast amount
OF other data. This work-a great I'M
dertaking-has been well advanced.
and his successor will find most of the
necessary data at hand He also did a
large amount of work for the Water.
Health and Gas Boards, as we'll as for
various Council Committees. and his
office is now veritable store of official
engineering data, which year or two
of energetic work will lick into perma-
nent and valuable shape, and from
which all departments of the city gov
eminent will derive permanent benefit.
AS to Mr.. Whites successor. there Is
| nothing definite. Several names have
been casually mentioned, but what the
| Board of Public Works, in whom the
| appointing power lies, will do, is an I'm
certain quantity.

AN ELM GROVE MAN

Given a Hearing on Two Charges.
StubbornIy Assisted Constable An
dersOn.
During the week two warrants were
issued from Squire J. R. Larue's Court
against Homer Smith, of Elm Grove.
One was on complaint of James A.
Burket, charging Smith as being per-
son of bad fame and the other was on
complaint of Constable John Anderson,
charging Smith with assault and bat
terry. The defendant was given a hear
ing at the county Jail Friday evening
and on one charge was held under bond
for his appearance before the grand
jury and on the other charge was fined
heavily. In default of bond, he was
committed to Jail and in default of his
fine was sent to Jail for one year.
The constable experienced a great
deal of trouble before landing the Elm
Grove man in Jail. The prisoner, SO
1t is said, sprang at the constable and
selling him by the throat endeavored
to strangle him. Constable Anderson
released himself after a struggle and
was compelled to use his mace with
telling effect upon the prisoner to pro-
tect himself. Smith has the reputation
of being "the bad man of Elm Grove. "

st. Claire Elliott, of Colorado, was in

ed from the Klondike gold fields, and
will leave for that place next week
His story of that country is very inter-
esting, as he has spent two and half
years in the territory. In speaking
of this land of cold and gold he said
that his expenses of going there and
stalking three claims were over sc, 900,
and that he went over Chilcoot Pass
when there was such rush as no one
could describe.
In some places it was almost level
and others perpendicular, and the
traveller eager for gold held to rope
and treked his way up the pass, as
steps had been dug out. In speaking
of the cold he told of the black places
on his limbs where they had been fro
zen and said the trip was an awful ex-
perience. His first nugget he car
ries as a souvenir, and he told how
they found the precious metal. BY

Very Little Water Expected as N
Result of the Snow and Rain.
River News.
All the cause for anxiety regarding
high stage of water is at an end. 1t
can now be definitely stated that the
rise will not amount to more than ten
inches. This was brought about by
the favorable way in which the snow
passed off. 1t is rather hard for the
riyermen to account for the seeming
disappearance of the snow. A coal
boat stage will not result unless there
is rain above.
