Praises Judge Parker.

I'VE cordially endorse the democratic
nominations for President and vice pres
ident of the United States. New York
has been greatly honored by the democ-
racy of the nation In the selection of
the candidate whom 1t presented for the
presidency. An able Jurist; an unswery-
ing democrat from his earliest participa-
ton in public affairs; a firm believer in
constitutional government; a bold de-
fender of the rights of the people; always
consistently and sincerely friend of all
who labor; never an advocate of special
privileges. ever an opponent of monopo-
listic combinations, who oppress the peo-
pie his election to the presidency will
signalize a return to the path marked
out by the founders of our republic.

Is seIf-Made Man.


His associate upon the ticket is a
self-made man, long identified with large
business interests, whose success in COM
mercial life strikingly illustrates the re-
suits that may be won by individual
merit under political institutions which
open equal opportunities to all; who has
served the people and his party with
fidelity and wisdom in the senate of the
United States. and who, If elected to the
vice presidency, will sustain the best ira
ditions of that high and honorable office.
Promises New York Vote.
1.-THE signs of the times point auspi-
ciouslyJ to democratic triumph. Not in
many years have the independent voters
manifested so decided a disposition to
act with the democratic party. Even In
hopelessly republican state, like Maine,
there has been a great democratic awak-
ening: a marked increase In the demo-
cratic vote and sweeping reduction in
the republican plurality of nearly S000
compared with four years ago.
I'VE unhesitatingly promise the democ-
racy of the nation that the electoral vote
of the Empire State will be cast for
Alton B. Parker and Henry G. Davis"

And the "Braky" Re-
fused to Stay With
the Wreck
1t Was Not a Head>end Col-
IisiOn When He Struck
the Turbulent Waters
of Mill Creek

An accident occurred at the peni.
tentiary yesterday afternoon that
while it was serious and somewhat ex.
pensive, caused a good deal of laugh.
ter and merriment at the expense of
a poor man who was neither an in.
mate nor an officer of the institution,
nor was he one of the numCEous
newspaper men that haunt the prison
this week on account of the legal ex.
eeution that is to be held there to-
morrow, and, while IL was not as seri.
GUS a matter as will be tomorrow's
hanging, the principal actor in the
little drama found it bad enough. One
arm of Mill creek runs through the
southwest corner of the prison yard,
passing under the wall near the rail
road switch and gate Just inside the
wall the creek is spanned by a railroad
bridge where the switch crosses to the
foundry. Yesterday afternoon, while
the crew of afreight train was switch
ing in a car heavily loaded with pig
iron for the foundry the accident oc.
cured The engine kicked the car
into the yard, and brakeman stood
on the roof of the car. The kick was
not enough to carry it over the bridge,
which here is 100 feet in length, and
1t stopped when nearly across, the one
end having gained a point over the
bank, and, as the bridge was not
strong enough to bear the weight
very long, the car sank with 1t into
the water. The brakeman, when the
car went down, made a wild leap for
life, and jumped squarely into the
middle Of the stream, landing in Ave
feet of icy cold water. While describ.
ing a graceful curve through the air

worked like a windmill, and when he
finally landed the expression on his
face and the accompanying profanity.
almost caused the death of the prison
guards who witnessed the accident.
The poor brakeman was quickly res
cued, and provided with dry clothing,
but his happiness will not be restored
for several days.
The car that wrecked the bridge
weighed. with it's load, 116,200 pounds.
The bridge was rebuilt last summer,
the foundry company furnishing the
material, and the prison officials pro-
viding the labor, while the work was
carried on under the direction of Con.
tractor Royal of this city. The work
of unloading the car and getting it
out of the creek will require consid.
erable time and expense.
The greatest harm is done in the
delay to shipments, which will be sus.
pended for some little time. The
creek at this point ia about 100 feet in
width, and swift as a mill race, and
at this time of year the work of con.
struction will be difficult However
1t will be undertaken at once, so as
to delay business as little as possible.
