latter south of Thetford Mines. The

take just as the down train left the last
station, Thetford Mines. and wired the
operator there, but i was 90 late, for
the train had pulled out Two en-
gines, one mail car. two baggage, one
first class and one second class car
were completely wrecked, but. strange
to say, no passenger was injured. 1t

tween Tammany and Reform
erS Now Fairly Begun

New York, Oct. 3.-Previous to the
meeting tonight of the Democratic
city convention. the executive COM
mittee of Tammany Hall met and rati-
fed the action of the city committee
in selecting Edward M. Shepard, Will
liam j. Laid, Jr., and Judge George
M Van Hoesen as the party candi-
dates for mayor, comptroller and pres
ident of the Board of Aldermen, re
spectively.
The convention met tonight in the
Grand Central Palace, with George b.
Mcclellan as chairman. Richard
Croker, who was a delegate, was given
an ovation.
On taking the chair Mr.. Mcclellan
praised Mayor Van Wyck, and at
tackled "so-called reform"
The convention placed upon record
its adherence of the crime by which
President Mckinley was killed.
The platform, among other things
charges the Republican party with in
difference to the interests of the city
by denying to it the right of self gov
eminent. 1t denounces "as a sham, til
pretense at reform which character
ICES the combination made up of Re-
publican Dartisans and so-called Dem
ocrats," and congratulates the people
upon the results acnleVed under the
Democratic administration of city af-
fairs.
1t claims the credit for inaugurating
system of rapid transit.
When Assistant District Attorney
Littleton of Brooklyn placed the name
of Edward M. Shepard before the con-
lVention as candidate for mayor, cheers
for Comptroller Bird S. Coler came
from the gallery and some of the dele
gates. The Brooklyn delegation was
especially vehement for Coler The
Shepard nominating speeches were in
terrupted and the roll call was perforce
abandoned. Chairman Mcclellan final
ly announced the nomination of Mr..
Shepard, and many delegates arose
and left the hall.
William j. Ladd, Jr.. was then made
the nominee for comptroller and Judge
George M. Van Hoesen for president OK
the board of aldermen.

Mrs. McGrath was driving along
South Irving Street in the direction OF
Chandler Street when suddenly a horse
attached to a light express wagon
dashed across Chandler Street and
headed directly for Mrs. McGrath's rig
On the seat Of the delivery wagon
sat "a youth who was evidently doing
his best to get control Of the animal.
Mrs. McGrath, to avoid a collision,
turned her horse into vacant lot,
and was congratulating herself on hav-
ing narrow escape when suddenly
the youth whom she had last seen on
the seat Of the express wagon came
flying through the air and landed in her
lap.
The horse dashed along South Irving
Street, and was stopped near yelling
ton. The youth apologized to Mrs.
MeGrath as though he had accidentally
brushed against her in a ballroom and
climbed out of the buggy. The dam
age was trifing, outside OF a shock 10
the youth, although the quick journey
through the air seemed to shock his
sense of propriety more than the
thoughts Of what might have been il

stead of on Mrs. McGrath's lap.

things: ::
you have laid upon me no small
responsibility and no light labor
1 accept your call in the spirit in
which it has been rendered, and it
will at least be my jealous endeavor
to discharge properly the party
trust which has been placed in
my keeping Entering upon the
campaign in a spirit of the most
broad and inclusive Democracy,
with no other desire than to assist
in Strengthening and unifying the
Democratic party for the perform
ance of that work which the state
needs of it, whether in opposition
or in power, I hope to merit the
support of all who believe in its
fundamental doctrines.
The platform of principles
adopted by the convention COM
mands my hearty and unqualified
support.
TT is a platform of the present
and the future, not of the past.
Wisely reaffirming our confidence
in the soundness of the essential
principles of Democracy, as last
authoritatively enunciated in ma
tional convention, it makes no at
tempt to bind all Democrats to the
policies. Of any past platform. The
spirit and essence of Democracy
continue from one campaign to an
other; any who are not in harmony
with 1t cannot fairly be expected
to cooperate with our party. Its
form and its specific demands nee
essarily change to meet changing
conditions. I'm essentials unity, in
non-essentials harmony" we may
well take these words for our
motto.
THE largest governmental question
In this State today is that of securing
the better administration of the 33 city

Prof. Rankin was found in his private
room with a bullet hole through his head
just behind the temple
