MARCH WITHOUT MUSIC
Zig Centennial Parade in Chicago VIII
Be Minus This Feature.

DC "lItdS M
Chicago, Sept. 3O.-The marchers in
the centennial parade will be compelled
to tramp over the route without a
sicians' union last night positively re-
have anything whatever to do with the
centennial celebration if the United
States Marine band of Washington is
to play at the mass meeting in the Au-
ditorium on Thursday night, which it
to be the final act of the celebration.
The union declares that its constitu-
ton forbids it's members to have any
thing to do with an event in which en-
listed men in the government service
take part.
The union therefore demanded that
the invitation to the marine band, be
withdrawn or the union musicians
would decline to furnish music for the
parade, for the banquet Of the mayors
Wednesday night, or for any other part
of the centennial celebration.
The committee Of arrangements for
the centennial informed the union that
the invitation to the Marine band
stand, no matter what action
was taken by the local musicians. The
union at once decided that it could not
recede from the position it a taken,
and 1t SO informed the committee. 1t
vas decided by the committee to go
ahead with it's plans, just as If there
were no such thing as music. The play
Ing by the Marine band Thursday night
will therefore be the only music Of the
celebration. 1t vas not the intention Of
the committee to use the Marine band
for marching, but for the mass meeting

DECLINES.
Conscience Stands IN the Way Of Be,
coming Northern Securities LAWYER.

49, 'NS'N lIS dNyCI
Columbus, o., Sept. 3O.-United States
Circuit Judge Peter S. Grosscup, Of
Chicago, who is visiting in Columbus,
says in a statement issued last night
that he will not resign from the United
States circuit bench to accept the posi-.
ton of general counsel of the Northern
Securities company, or to represent the
company in the pending action against
1t. Judge Grosscup's statement fol-
lows:
Il shall not resign. It would be to
my taste, and perhaps to my pecuniary
advantage, to go back to the practice
of law, but / LAY some conscience on
the subject Of accepting a public office,
and that extends as we'll to the circum-
stances under which the office should
be laid aside. Reasons sufficient to
control that conscience forbid me lay
ing it aside now II under present cir
culnStanceS.
Il have been too busy the past few
days, le%ngthening my forearm to hit
the middle of the little golf ball., to
nave cad the but my
friends tell me there has been printed a
good deal OF fiction OF the subject of
fees offered. The truth is hat the
whole matter never went beyond gen.
eral conversations with gentlemen in
terested in the merger case as ia
whether l would accept a professional
engagement at all. AT no time have 1
gotten as far as fees. My My regret
is that any mention has ever been
made of it."

PARKS MAKES
Victory in Labor Convention F~rightens
New York Builders.

New York, Sept. 3o.-Because of the
victory of Samuel J. Parks before the
convention of the National Association
of Bridge and Structural Iron Work
ers at Kansas City, it is believed there
will be less building undertaken in this
city the coming winter than there has
been for many years. Expert build
ers said it would make at least $40, 0OO,-
900 difference in the years record and
that there would be no great revival in
building until Parks and his men were
finally quieted.
Some Of the buildings projected and
which, it is said, will not be begun this
coming winter, are the new Trinity
building at Ill Broadway; the Hotel
Brunswick, to cost IS, 600, 900; a totel
at Sixty-third street and Central park,
west, to cost 1900, 900; the John r;
DreXel, James A. Burden and J.. H;
Hammond homes, the combined cost of
which will be 1880. 900; the projected
.theater at One Hundred and Twenty
fourth street and ST. Nicholas avenue,
to cost $3.50, 900; the Long Acre Square
hotel, 100000; the Loft building on the
site of the "old London Streets" to cost
81, 500, 900 n miscellaneous buildings to
the amount of $40, 600, 900.

BUTLER TO QUIT.
Former California Senator Declares He
Will Get Out of Politics,

VIII 1eI OuE OF Politics..
Washington, Sept. 30.-Marion But
Ter, formerly senator from North Caro-
lima, and about the only mar who re-
mains of the old populist organization
who retains any prominence, an
nounced today that he would retire
from the Craftsmanship of the populist
after the next convention
was organized. Mr.. Butler, in making
his announcement, speaks of the party
with which he has been SO long iden-
titled as still in existence, and gives as
a reason for his retirement the fact
that his business interests make it nee
essary.
Mr.. Butler says the populists will
agaln put a ticket in the field, and eX-
presses the belief tEat they will poll
more votes at the coming general cleo
ton than at the last. What he says
about the power of the Cleveland wing
of the democratic party is particularly
interesting.
Continuing, Mr.. Butler said: The
great feature OF the populists' platform
will favor the national ownership of the
means OF carrying on m We
Will advocate the substitution of pub
lie money for bank notes and will urge
government ownership of railroads and
the facilities fer the transmission Of in
telllgence. These are the great means
for the creation and upbuilding Of mo-
nopolies, II when they are owned
II controlled by the government the
backbone Of monopoly will be broken.
There is but one set Of men banded
against government ownership of the
railroads. They are the highly paid
officials who are rnning them. They
would resist this movement, but they
will not be supported by the stockhold-
ers when the movement is fairly inaug-
urated. stockholders in the railroads
have told me that they would be very
glad to exchange their holdings for

WILL TAKE UP BONDS,
Lawrence County Commissioners Hole
Special Meeting.

Deadwood, S. D., Sept. 3O.-The Law
renee county commissioners has called
for a special meeting to be held We'd
nesday, September 30, for the purpose
of devising ways and means of taking
up $4,000 outstanding bonds, bearins;
S per cent. interest and the fact that
they became due this year had been
entirely lost sight of. 1t was not known
that this was the year of their maturity
until the bonds began to come in for,
payment, $4,000 of which have arrived.
County Auditor Z. H. Warren saws
there is no record in his office of the
length of time for which these bonds
We're to run, it being supposed that they
We're to run twenty years. No record
has been kept of this issue and the bond
register contains nothing whatever per-
tanning to their life. Several years ago
the county commissioners prepared to
take up the outstanding bonds of the
1883 issue, amounting to SAC, 900. These
were taken up by issuing r~efunding,
bonds. It is probable that the same
recourse will be necessary for the dispo-
sitfon OF the 1883 issue.

New York, Sept. 29.-It has been de-
cided by the extensions committee Of the
rapid transit commission to recommend
the immediate adoption of a plan to
build moving platforms to be operated
from the Brooklyn end Of the new Will
iamsburg bridge to the Battery in Man
haitian, by way of the rapid transit tun-
mel in lower Broadway. The outlay will
be about $,ooo,0G0. AS the committeeman
form a majority of the commission, their
vote may be regarded as final for that
body, and the only element of uncertainty
in the scheme is action by the board Of
aldermen.
The moving platform idea has long been
under discussion in connection with plans
for easing the great crush of travel be-
tween New York and Brooklyn. but never
before has 1t reached definite shape. The
moving platforms could be easily operated
across the bridge, which is now nearing
completion, but their installation in the
Iufway at the Manhattan end of the
ridge would be ar innovation.

Going at High Speed.
The trestle where the accident oc.
Cured is 500 feet long, and Is located
on a sharp,curve. Engineer Brodie was
a new mar on that division of the
Southern and it Is said he came to
the curve at a very high rate Of speed.
The engine had gone only about f1f-
ty feet on the trestle when it sprang
from he track, carrying with it five
mail cars n an express car. The
%trestle, a wooden structure, also gave
way for a space of fifty feet.
At the foot of the trestle Is a shall
low stream with a rocky bottom. Str1k-
Ing this the engine and the cars were
reduced to a mass of twisted iron and
steel and pieces OF splintered wood. AS
the cars went down they touched the
Bfdes Of the Riverside cotton mill,
which Is very close to the trestle.
A great crowd of people was soon ut
the scene Of the wreck. No one on any
of the cat- had made an effort to jump.
and the bodies of all those killed and
Injured were found In the w%reckage
Of the different cars to which they be-
.op2ed.
All unofficial opinions that have been
ascertained agree in giving only one
cause for the wreck, the high speed Of
the train on the sharp curve.

WHlTEWOOD'S NEW HOTEL.
An Excellent Building Being Erected.
to Cost $4,000,

Whitewood, S. D., Sept. 3O.-A new
hotel Is being built in the town of
Whitewood by Enos Lane on the corner
Of Main street facing the Northwestern
station, as a cost of SIS, 600. It is OF
white cut stone with hipped shingle
roof. Stone laying has been in progress
now for several weeks and it will be
finished by the first of the year.
The hotel building is So by 80 feet Oh
the ground. 1t will have two stories
and a basement. An addition is being
built to the hotel So by 40 feet, situated
at one side and fronting on the street.
The first floor is to be used for a store
and the second loo will be for use in
connection with the hotel.
Whitewood citizens inaugurated the
hotel project last spring, Intending to
put up a building to cost about $40. QC0.
and to pay for it by subscription. After
the plans We're drawn it was found that
the building they desired could not be
put up for the money they cared to in
vest in it. In order to have the build
ing completed, they gave Mr.. Lane a
bonus of the lots, excavation and foun-
lation walls.

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 3O.-The formal
organization of an anti-Folk plan of
campaign by the leaders of the oppo-
sition, it is said, was discussed at a
conference held yesterday at the Plant
erS hotel in this city. The result Of
the conference is believed to be a prac-
teal agreement among the administra-
ton cohorts that the man who shall
receive the democratic nomination for
governor, II they can bring 1t about, is
Mayor James B. Reed of Kansas City.
The presence of n number Of the
~StandbyS and scouts of the democratic
state machine in the city yesterday and
their reported conference during the
day with local adherents Of the state
administration gave rise to a variety
Of JUNIORS. Sam B. Cook, secretary of
state, who registered at the Planters
hotel, was the leader about whom the
rumors revolved, and the caucus, it was
said, was held in his room at the hotel.
Only Two Registered.
Sam Cook and Fred Fleming regis
tered. The conference was a strictly
star chamber session, lasting Until into
the afternoon, and was closely guarded
by the participants. word having been
left with the clerk at the hotel by MIR.
Cook that no cards were to be sent up
to his room.
Yesterdays meeting was similar in
nature to two preceding conferences OF
democratic machine men held recently
at st. Joseph n later at Kansas City,
at which the increasing Folk sentiment
throughout the state was canvassed
and the need for taking immediate ac-
ton by the administration urged. The
temper of the local leaders in each city
toward Mayor Reed was carefully
tested.
Following the recent conference be-
tween Governor Dockery, Excise Com
missioner Seibert, Beer Inspector Cren-
shaw and Messrs. Halves. Kleiber,
Flynn, Dolan and others of the local
machine at Faust's cafe, at which it
was decided to either bring Halves out
or unite on Reed, the developments Of
the past week In democratic circles
point strongly to the conclusion that
the machine has adopted the latter
born Of the dilemma.
