state Board DefieR Johnson.

COLUMBUS, O.. oct. 2.The state
board Of nruaiization decided yester-
day that II mad no power to increase
the value of the railways Of Ohio rs
appraised for purposes Of taxation.
The board was guided in Its action by
the opinion of the attorney general. A
demand was made upon the board by
Mayor Johnson Of Cleveland that the
appraisenlent of the railways OF the
state should be raised to 90 per cent Of
their value as shown by the market
value of their stocks and bonds. He
claims that their present appraisement
is only about q per cent Of their value
computed on this basis. Mayor John
son had previously declared that II the
state board refused his demand he
would bring mandamns proceedings to
compel them to accede to it.

Two LITTLE WAITS.

A play that will; please the pat
rons of the Boxes. the Parquet, the
Balcony, and the gallery has at
last been written and produced by
Mr.. Lincoln J. Carter. This play
is knownas "The Two Little Waits"
and will be seen at the Opera
House on Saturday afternoon and
night. The story hinges on the. fact
that twin sisters. unknown to each
other, are in love with the same
man. One becomes the loving
mother OF his children, afterwards
the "Waifs'') the other as the wiley
adventures separates the husband
and wife, and is the cause OF their
children being thrown upon the
streets 10 battle with hunger, pow
elty and privation,
When it is taken into considera-
tion that the two parts are played
by the same person it eau be easily
seen that the story must be OF more
than usual interest. The play is
as pleasing to the occupant OF the
box as to the boy in the gallery.
Handsome souvenirs are presented
TO the ladies at every performance.

JERSEY DEMOCRATS.
Seymour of Newark Named
For Governor.
CONVENTION A TURBULENT OyE,
1enntor Smiths Forces Fought Hard
For Control. but Lost by Small
Margin-Whnt the Plat
form Contains,

TRENTON, n. j., Oct, 2.-Mayor
James NJ Seymour Of Newark was
nominated as the Democratic candidate
for governor of New Jersey in con-
yentiOn that at times was turbulent in
the extreme, but which for oil that was
freer from displays of Ill temper than
Is frequently the case. State Chairman
William Gourley was permanent chair
man Of the convention. Mayor Seymour
was nominated on the second ballot.
The first voting showed that the Sey-
mour and anti-Saymour forces were al
most evenly divided, and had the anti.
Seymour leaders been able to concen-
trate their votes on a single candidate
they might have won. However, there
was strong unSercurrent among the
delegates for Sey mour. and IT was only
through the genemlship of the leaders
Of the anti-Seymour forces that the
anti-Seymour delegates We're kept in
line.
The nomination of Mayor Seymour
was defeat for former United States
Senator Smith and his forces.
From the time the delegates began to
arrive the previous night until few
minutes before the voting began late
in the afternoon both sides professed
confidence in winning, but their actions
Indicated that they We're not without
some misgivings. The Seymour men
did the most shouting, while the anti
Seymour people relied upon the gener-
alship Of their leaders to win out. In
this they were mistaken. The anti-Sey-
mour people made an effort to concen-
trate their vote on ext congressman
Thomas NJ. Ferrell of Gloucester coun-
ty and succeeded TO the extent of Sc
curing for him on the first ballot 4SO
votes, which was only eight less than
the vote given to Seymour. There were
1,143 delegates in the convention, and
on the second ballot the scattering vote
went largely to Seymour and accom-
plished his nomination.
The platform adopted was confined to
state issues and embraced u general
condemnation of Republicans in the
conduct Of state affairs.

ThOmns Is Optimistic,
as Usual.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.--Thc attempt to
sail the second of the present Series of
international yacht races for the blue
ribbon Of the sea proved a dismal fail
ure.
Between $4,000 and 30,00H people
who crowded the pleasure fleet off
Sandy Hook lightship in the hope Of
seeing repetition of the thrilling
sport of last Saturday witnessed In
stead more Of drifting match than a
race. The wind was exceedingly light
and variable, al times falling so low
that the gossamer wind pennants,
which are as light AS thistle down,
hung limp against the nasts of the big
single stickcrs.
At the end of four and a half hours
tho two yachts had covered less than
onc-haf of the prescribed course OF
thirty miles. and as there was no posi-.
bility of their finishing within the time
limit the regatta committee declared
the race Off.
When the gun was fired announcing
this decision. the challenger was about
half mile ahead Of the defender, and
to that extent the trial was Il victory
for Shamrock IL. But the fluke demon
strated little as to the question of su.
premacy between the two boats, ex-
cept perhaps that Sir Thomas new
champion is more dangerous in light
airs than was supposed after her two
former meetings with the white fiier

was an equilateral triangle, ten miles

Sir Thomas expressed himself as pcr-
sonally in favor of racing every day,
providing any suggestion looking to
that end should be made.

Miners Go Back TO Work.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Oct. 2.-As
a result of the decision of United States
District Judge Clark as arbitrator 5000
coal miners In the Jellico district have
returned to work. When the scale ex'
pired recently, the miners quit work
pending the negotiations for new
scale. The miners demanded higher
wages and shorter hours. The opera
tors would not grant the demands, and
the matter was submitted TO two arbi-
traitors. They could not agree. and they
selected Judge Clark as the third arbi-
traitor. He decided that the miners
wages should not he advanced, but that
they be required to work only nine
hours. This is a practical victory for
the miners. as they will get the same
wages for shorter hours Of work.

been received at the Colombian lega-
tion in this city: We have obtained
signal victory over the Venezuelan
troops that invaded the Goailra, under
Venezuelan officers and under the Ven
cZuclan flag, without previous dec
laralion of war; Some uncertainty
exists in the minds of til" officials Of
the legation as to whether this victory
over the Venrzuelans is identical with
that heretofore reported by way Of
Curacao In the press or is he result of
another fight Dr. silva, the minister,
is inclined to the former opinion. The
officials feel very much gratifieh over
the ndvices. Some stress is laid on
the statement that this invasion was
without previous declaration Of war
on Venezuela part.
