Middlesex assemblymen have been
in Trenton irving to secure some OF
the minor plums, which are now be-
ing picked, for some of their consti-
tuents. Their canvass, it is said, was
not looked upon with favor because

lators may ignore Middlesex now, but
it is noticed that when some of the
largor counties want anything they
usually make n bee line for the Mid

they feel pretty safe. The fact that

any Kind save perhaps that done by
Col. Wagner the chief umpire, and his
assistants who were busy with the
problem for to-morrow's maneuVers.
Divine services for each brigade in

On account of the absence of many
chaplains from their commands due to
illness and other causes soldiers from
two or three regiments participated in
each service. The Michigan brigade
attended military mass conducted by
Father Kelly. The mass was sung in
huge tent provided by the Michigan
branches of the knights of Columbus.
During the afternoon the camp was
inspected by thousands of sightseers
from Louisville and the surrounding
country. Three regimental bands

TEN-YEAR SENTENCE,
Charged with Highway Robbery
and other Offenses.

Trenton, N. j., Oct 4.-Officials of
the American Bridge Company are in
teresting themselves in the case of AL
bert Steiner, a former employee, who
went under the name of Charles Lewis
and who was sentenced to a term of
ten years in a ssachusetts state
prison at Charlestown. Steiner claims
that his arrest and conviction is one
of mistaken identity and the officials
of the bridge company here are in
clined to believe his story.
An investigation will be made at
once and if Steiner's story is found to
be true an effort will be made to Sc
cure his pardon.
For more than a year past up to
Aug. % of this year. Steiner was en-
ployed at the Americana Bridge Works
in this city. On the latter date he
drew $3.50 on account and went away

of him was letter to j. Henry Klein,
the company's paymaster saying he
had been arrested on Aug % on a
charge of highway robbery alleged to
have been committed on Aug. IS, on
which day Steiner according to the
company's records here, was working
in Trenton.
Steiner requested an affidavit of Mr..
Klein setting out this fact. The af-
udaVlt was sent, out steiner writes
back that before the affidavit reached
him the ten-year sentence was impos-
ed despite his plea for delay Steiner
claims also that the sentence was made
heavy because of other Offenses which
he was alleged to have committed.
Little is known of Steiner here out
side of his employment with the COM
pany, and the fact that he had served
a term in the New Jersey State Prison
for an offense of which he was, he says
also innocent.
The American Bridge Company's Bos-
ton office has been requested to make
a thorough investigation of the case.

W u hSGtiuEs
Barre. VT, Oct 4.-One man dying,
another suffering from a serious but
not necessarily fatal bullet wound, and
third under arrest, charged with fir
Ing the shots, is the outcome of the
latest clash between the anarchists and
socialists of this city. The feeling be-
tween the two parties has been in
tense for many months, and conflicts
more or less serious have been of al
most daily occurance.
Last night number of anarchists

DIR. Giacinto Menotti Sereatti, editor
of the socialist newspaper, published
in New York. had been invited to adj
dress local socialists. some fifty of
whom had congregated in Socialists
Hall. While the audience was await
ing the arrival of the speaker, fifteen
anarchists, headed by Corti, made
their appearance at the hall and de-
clared that they would not permit
Sereatti to address the gathering.
During the fight that followed the
threat, it is alleged that Garretto drew
revolver and fired point blank at
Corti, the ball lodging in the latter's
stomach. The second shot went wild,
and the third struck Vochini in the
arm. When the anarchists saw their
leader fall, they sprang upon Garretto
and hurled him downstairs to the
street The fight ended only when a
large detachment of police had reach

CIRCUIT AFTER LOW
SAYS THE MAYOR ASsENTED TO
TAMMANY's ENDORSEMENT.
CUTTING TOOK. SAME VIEW
DEMAND FOR REMOVAL INSPIRED
BY PLATT AND OTHERS.

GrOut's Statement I'm Reply TO One
Issued ny LOw-Charges the Mayor
With Double DeaIing-Agreed
With GrOut That the Expected
Endorsement Would BE a Tower of
Strength to the Fusion Ticket
and Could BE Properly Accepted.
Now Has All the Benefit IndOrse-
ment Can Give and Is willing TO
Let GrOut and FOrnes Go.
New York, Oct. 4.-Controller Grout
to-day issued a statement in reply to
the statement made yesterday by May
or Low to the effect that Mr.. Grout
had once suggested to him the posi-
bility that he might be offered Tam
many nomination, but that in that
event he would continue to support
Mr.. Low. This suggestion Mr.. Low
said he did not regard seriously. Mr..
Grout says in part:
Il think that Mr.. Low will recall
another conversation with me about
two weeks ago. 1 told him that the
talk of an Endorsement by Tammany
seemed to be coming from various di-
rections; that l had deemed it an i'm
possibility, but that now it began to
seem possible, though 1 could not yet
think it probable
II said that 1 could receive it only
Internationally and that l would not
permit it to silence me in the cam
paign; that under these conditions it
seemed to me that it would be a tower
of strength to Mr.. Low and that I
might properly accept. Mr.. Low dis
tinctly assented to this view.
Il wish people to recall that one week
ago Mr.. Cutting said publicly the same
thing, that is. that he could see no
reason why such an Endorsement, made
without conditions, should not be ac-
cepted 1 suppose 1 may not complain
If during the past week Mr. Low and
Mr.. Cutting, under the impulse of Mr..
Platt, Mr.. Woodruff and Mr.. Bruce.
have revised their opinions.
Last Monday l told Mr.. Low that
the only alternative fairly left me was
either to accept all nominations and in
dorsements or else decline all, including
the fusion. He then refused to listen
to such declination, and it was at his
suggestion that the formal notifications
proceeded that day. If he were ever to
have taken the position he now. takes
it would have been fairer to have taken
1t week ago.
The Mayor comedies. therefore, that
he did not protest when I mentioned
to him the proposition that the accept
ance of Democratic Endorsement would
aid him, because it would be a helpful
Endorsement of the fusion administra-
ton. / feel sure that when he recalls
the conversation l now bring to his
attention, he will admit that he then
thought that such an Endorsement
would be a distinct tactical advantage
to him in the campaign.
by the action of the Democratic
convention Mr.. Low has gained that
tactical advantage. He has gained all
he can gain thereby, whether Mr..
Fornes and l are retained on the fusion
ticket or not. And, having won the adj
vantage which he was quite willing
should be won for him. it seems he is
now willing, at demand inspired by
7. c. Platt and his associates. to have
Mr.. Fornes and myself cast from his
ticket"

of fighting between Turkish and Bull
garian troops at Demir-Kapia, both
sides sustaining losses.
In official quarters all knowledga of
the affair is denied, but the Gil cum
stantial details given seem to indi-
cate that there is some foundation for
the accounts of the conflict. Accord
ing to one report, the Turks attacked
the Bulgarian frontier post.
Another version says the Turks pur-
sued a number of refugees across the
frontier. 1t is asse ted that the Turks
frequently have attempted to provoSe
hostilities, forcing into Bulgarian ter
ritory and crossing the frontier to
steal horses and sheep.
The war office here is working at
high pressure, and $4,000 recruits will
he called out. Prince Ferdinand has
sanctioned numerous other measures of
a warlike nature. All the cavalry with
the exception of single regiment,
which is stationed at Sofia, has been
sent into the frontier districts, where
are also strong forces of artillery. Wig
orous efforts are being made to prevens
bands from crossing into Turkish ter
ritory. Two bands which were sent
back have reached Sofia since yester-
day.
Dispatches from the frontier received
at the revolutionary headquarters re-
port that the refugees in the noun
taius are in a terrible condition
through their pursuit by the Turks ana

Reforms Decided On.
Vienna, Oct. 4.-As an outcome of the
conference between the Car and EN-
peror Francis Joseph at Muerzsteg, the
governments of Austria and Russia
have sent the following identical tele-
gram to the ambassadors of those coun-
tries in Constantinople. The kilograms
were couched in the following terms:
you were recently instructed to de-
clare that Austria- Hungary and Russia
adhere to the task of pacffication which
they have undertaken, and are resolved
to persevere with the programme drawn
up at the beginning of the year, not
withstanding the difficulties hitherto
opposed to it's execution. For, indeed.
while on the one hand the Revolution.
airy Committees have provoked dis
turbances and deferred the Christian
population of the three vilayets from
cooperating in the execution of the
reforms, on the other hand, the repre-.
sentatives Of the Sublime Porte entrust-
ed with their application have beer
generally wanting in the necessary zeal
and have not been imbued with the
idea which inspired these measures.
Both Powers are united in the de-
Termination to show that 1t is thelr
Arm resolve to insist on the execution
in their entirety of those reforms which
were accepted by the Porte and which
are calculated to guarantee general
security In this connection you will
receive detailed instructions without de-
lay.
while the Powers recognize to the
full the Porte's right and duty &c
suppress the disorders fostered by the
insurrectionary agitation Of the Ma
cedonian Committee, they at the same
time deplore the fact that this sup
preston was accompanied by excuses
and cruelties from which the peace
full inhabitants suffered.
''It, therefore, appears to them tc
be their urgent duty to come to the
assistance of the victims of these re-
grettable occurrences. and the above
mentioned instructions will aceuaint
you with the details of the humaui-
tartan action which they deem neces-
sary with the object of supporting
the inhabitants who have been depriv-
ed of all means of existence. facili-
tating their repatriation and restor-
ing the villages, churches and schools

THE Austro- Hungarian and Rus

hope that their continued endeavors
to establish lasting peace in the

object and they are conviced that Their
impartial advice will be needed by ali
to whom 1t is addressed in their own
