BROOKLYN CLUB
 IS WITH PARKER Enthusiastic Pledges of Support
 Are Rendered. JUDGE MAKES SHORT TALK A Feature of the Gathering Was the Meeting Between Judge Parker
 and Opponent Judge
 HeInrlchs.
JUDGE MAKES SHORT TALK

Esopus, N. r., August 2O-Judge Parker of Brooklyn democrats. A delegation composed of seventy-two members of the Brooklyn democratic club and of the Kings county democracy reached Rose- mount this afternoon, where they were received by Mir. and Mrs Parker on the broad veranda. Daniel Moynahan. chairman of the delegation made an ad- dress pledging the efforts of it's members to the furtherance of Judge Parkers can didacy. Judge Parker replied in few words. expressing thanks for the assur- ances of support.
 After the speeches MT. Moynahan in- troducer the entire party and Judge Par ker presented them to Nrs- Parker and her sister, Miss Schoonmaker
 The incident of greatest interest was the meeting of Judge Frederick W. Hein- riehs who opposed Judge Parker's noml- nation which was extremely cordial. Af- terward MT. Heinrichs said.
 Is Man of Force.
 Judge Parker is a charming gentle man and man of force. I may perhaps with propriety give you a little insight Into his character by showing you a note which the judge wrote to me a few weeks after l spoke to the Cooper union audi ence in criticism of his silence. This let ter came to me unsolicited
 'I had dropped a chance remark that esteemed the judge highly and would be glad to support him if he would have me. This remark reached the judge. Without the slightest hesitation he wrote to me a cordial unaffected and manly letter which I shall always treasure"
 The letter was as follows:
 'Rosemount. July 19. 1904.
 My Dear Heinrichs-Of course 1 wish your support, but as l have not yet been notified you will of course treat this let ter as confidential for the present. 1 find no fault whatever with those who thought the party could do better. Some time I shall hope to have a talk with you and then If you feel that the cause is worthy of your support I shall hope that you will take that active part for which your talents and your honesty so well fit you.
 With assurance of personal regard, I am sincerely yours,
 ALTON B. PARKER" Francis Fisher Kane of Philadelphia called on Judge Parker during the day.

 Town Marshal McNelson went to the house where the negro lived to collect 25 cents due the town of Cordoya by the negro, and the negro shut the door in the marshars face, whereupon he knocked again for admittance. He was answered by the negro opening the door and shoot ing the marshal with pistol, the ball striking him in the head. Death fol lowed instantly.

INFANT ID RIDE IN
 GOLDEN CARRIAGE Czarevitch Alexis to be Chris
 tened at Palace Chapel
PARENTS MUST BE ABSENT
Rule of Orthodox Church Allows Only the. Presence of God-Parents. Grand Banquet Will Not
 Be Given.

St. Petersburg. August H.-d:2O a. m)-- The golden carriages which are used only at the time of imperial christenings have been taken from the annex to the palace where state coaches and sleighs of every conceivable shape and color are kept and drawn by six pairs of milk white steeds gorgeously caparisoned removed to Peterhoff to be used In conveying the heir of all the Russias from the villa Alexandria to the great palace a couple of miles distant.
 The christening ceremony will take place In the beautiful little palace church in which the brilliant assemblage of diplomats, courtiers, statesmen. gener- als and admirals to be present will have difficulty in finding room. Two of the highest personages in the land-the young empress and Emperor Nicholas will be absent. Their majesties cannot enter the church while the christening is in prog ress because 1t is contrary to the rule of the orthodox church for parents to attend such ceremonies, the god parents being considered as representing them before the Almighty

Accompanied By Princes.

Little Alexis will be borne to the front accompanied by Prince Henry of Prussia and Prince Louis of Battenberg, repre- senting Inc god fathers, Emperor William and King Eoward and by the godmother, the empress dowager. The metropolitan of St. Petersburg will have the honor of amounting the infant and immersing him in holy water Complete immersion Is necessary according to the rules of the church)
 The imperial party will then return to the villa Alexandria in the same golden carriages that conveyed them to the pal ace.
 It was at first intended to follow the custom of giving a grand banquet at the palace after the christening, but the sov- ereigns have decided to forego functions of this kind while the country is under going the ordeal of war.

Final Assault ProIected.

St. Petersburg, August 21-246 a. m.- The foreign telegrams announcing that the final assault upon Port Arthur was projected for today ave further stimu- lated in all circles the interest which has been unfiagging for weeks past con rerning the fate of the fortress. The au- thorities continue to express confidence in the ability of the garrison to withstand the assault but they aver that if the fort should be carried 1t will be at a cost un- equalled in the history of seiges.
 The determined nature of the Janaresa attacks upon what is considered an inn pregnable position Is without precedent In military annals. No European newer ever ventured to snow such disregard for the lives of It's soldiers.
 True, the allies at Sebastpol lost .ooo men in the final assault, but the Japa- nese have made repeated attacks upon Port Arthur with equal losses. Military experts admit that the Japanese have pursued the best plan. since repeated as- caults are bound to exhaust the resist ance of a garrison proportionally quicker than the same amount of energy spread over a longer peiou.
 Creates Little Concern.
 The situation at Liao Yang is creating comparatively little concern. though It Is admittedly much bound up in the fate of Port Arthur. The rains In the north, It Is thought preclude the possibility of serious operations in the immediate fu- ture, while 1t is believed that whatever the Japanese plans may be, it will not be possible to carry them out in the face of General Kuropatkin's strong position until the fall of Port Arthur releases such a mass of endorsements as to completely turn the commercial scale of troops in the north.

Negro Attempts to Escape.

The negro attempted to escape when Mrs. Conkell, the wife of a merchant at Cordova, secured a pistol and held the negro at bay until the arrival of Deputy Sheriff Frank Walker.
 A mob was immediately formed and the negro remained in the calaboose but few minutes before the doors were bat tered down by the infurated citizens and the negro put to death as above stated.
