HAMILTON BOON AGAIN.
with LttletOn Figuring as Odell.Hearst
Candidate for Comptroller.

That County Clerk Thomas l.. Hamilton
is to be the choice OF the leaders OF the
Republican organizations OF the city for
the anti-Tammany candidate for Mayor
was the statement made yesterday by one
who was in a position to speak with author
ity. Matters have gone 30 far, in fact. that
Mr.. Hamilton has been asked II no would
make the run against George B. Mcclellan
who will undoubtedly be renominated,
and be has consented to take the nomins-
ton.
Mr. Hamilton has been told by Mr.. Odell
and William Halpin, Mr.. Odells chairman
of the Republican county committee, that
he will have "a chance to win If the ar
rangements which are being made by Mr..
Odel to combine with William r. Hearst g
Municipal Ownership League and the
New York Democracy are carried through.
and it is believed by the Republican leaders
Of this city that an understanding has
unquestionably been reached between Mr..
Odell and Mr.. Hearst.
Martin w. Litteton; president Of the
borough Of Brooklyn, Is being considered
as the anti Tammany candidate for Comp
troller. Two years ago Mr.. Littleton was
chosen for Democratic candidate for the
borough presidency despite tho opposition
of Tammany. The Republican managers
are anxious to have Brooklyn Democrat
on their ticket in the hope Of winning the
votes OF Brooklyn Democrats who are
fighting Tammany.
Odell and Halpin have agreed that their
only hope of defeating the Tammany ticket
IL to fuse with as many independent organ
izations IA possible. Negotiations have
already been opened with every known
organization inimical to Tammany. but 70
far az could be learned yesterday only
the two concerns owned by Mr.. Hearst
have as yet finally promised to fall in with
Odell's plans. The Republicans would
like to gather in the Citizens Union. but
are afraid they can't with Tom Hamilton
for Mayor against Mcclellan.

John BarreHberg Nentured From Pit and
Was Killed by SkIrmisher.

SRA GRIT, N. j., July 15.-John Barren
berg, aged %, of 40 East Eighty eighth
street, New York city, was accidentally
killed this afternoon on the State rife
range. He was in charge of the rife pit
at 500 yards. While there was skirrnish
firing by some National Guardsmen he
stepped out Of the north end OF the pit for
a moment and directly in range OF the fir
ing, A Krag bullet struck him in the right
shoulder and he fell.
Drs. Bray and Mccullough fastened to
the young man and found him dead. He
was employed on the range last season
and was known as a careful man. Why
he ventured to step out Of the pit while
the firing was going on is a mystery. Cen.
b. W. Spencer, Inspector General of Rife
Practice, who has charge Of the range,
has cautioned the men repeatedly to be
careful and has often instructed the
range officers to warn the men. The acct
dent is the first in twenty-one years. The
body was viewed by the county Coroner,
and the relatives Of the young man were

WOMEN STOP THE PURITAN.
Carried Away When They Didn't Mean to
Go-TuY Lands Them.

As the steamboat Puritan, bound for
Fall River, rounded the Battery last evening
she came to a sudden stop and whistled
several times.
Two police boats and feet of tugs put
out to see what the trouble was. The
first to come alongside the Puritan was the
tug Confidence, the mate Of which boarded
her. In a few minutes three women got
aboard the Confidence and were landed at
Pier 49, North River. The three women
had been seeing some friends off, and when
they found that they were going, too, they
created such a cor motion on the Puritan
that the captain deemed it advisable to
land them.
The Puritan was delayed about twenty
five minutes.

The Mariposa Tulip.

These bulbs will do well and bloom
freely, i'm this state if grown in par
tial shade, as under a lath shelter.
The account given below is from the
Rural New Yorker:
Perhaps the most attractive and dis
tinct of all native California blooms
are the large-blossomed species of
CalOchortus, known as Butterfly or
Mariposa tulip. The genus is a large
one, comprising many species grow
ing in light, dry soil in the mountain
ranges of the Pacific SLOPE from Ore
gOn to southern California. Some oc-
cur as far east as Idaho, but by far
the greater number inhabit the elevat-
ed plains and foothills nearer the
coast. One group of Calochori has
glObular blooms, white, pink or yellow
in color, edged or filed with silky
hairs. They are known as Globe tulip,
and are rather shade-lOving plants.
C. Maweanus has large pure white
flowers, filled with blue hairs, and is
locally known as cat-ears. Another
choice white-fOwered species is G..
albus, often called Lantern of the
Fairies. The white hairy-ed
hang like pendent bells.
Very Near the Tulip.-The genus
CalochOrtus is botanically quite close
to Tu1ipa, in which are contained the
old world tulips, probably the longest
cultivated of all florists flowers. The
CalOchOrti are still in their natural
state. most bulbs supplied being col
lected from the woods. They do not
ha no s.iu hriI
tulips, but are far more graceful i'm
form and gay i'm their rich, soft color
ing and vivid but refined markings.
Some of the taller kinds of Mariposa
tulip grow three feet high, bearing
several broad, cup-shaped blooms three
or four inches across, but the foliage
is rather thin and spare. Some work
has been done in selecting the best
forms for cultivation, but we do not
yet know how amenable the genus
may be to the plant breeders art
With anything like the care and skill
that has been bestowed on the garden
tulip we may family imagine the
transformation that perhaps awaits
this California gen.

Dictamnus Eraxine11a.

The DictamnuS is a hardy shrub,
being a native of Europe and north
ern Asia. We do not know that it
could be grown in this state but the
experiment is worth trying on ac-
count of its curious habit of giving
off IN inf1ammable gas. The interest
ing account which follows we found
in the Florists Exchange:
The dictamnus, or gas plant, has
ALWAYS had more or less of reputa-
ton as a noteworthy subject, owing
to its peculiar property of giving off
an inf1ammable gas when in bloom
| recOllect an enterprising reporter on
one of the London papers writing it
up as the identical kind of plant that
Moses saw on Mount Horeb when the
Lord appeared unto him, and went
on to say the bush was to be seen in
flower i'm the Kew Gardens.
Most of the members of the natural
order Rutaceae, to which the dictam-
nus belongs, seem to abound with a
pungent volatile oil, although it may
not be given off in an inf1ammable
form as in the dictamnuS. To those
who have never seen the phenomenon,
the best time to make the experiment
is just after the sun has gone down on
a warm day, while the plants are in
bloom. BY holding a lighted match
close to the flowers, the gas will be
seen to ignite quite distinctly Apart
from this peculiar feature. it is one of
the most desirable of hardy plants and
well worth a place in every flower
garden. 1t has sturdy, upright habit,
and grows from one to two feet i'm
height; the rosy purple or white
flowers are in racemes and are borne
well above the foliage. Compared
with other hardy perenniaIs it is of
very slow growth and much longer
lived; if established in a suitable po-
stiOn it will continue to thrive for a
generation or more. Dictamnus may
be prOpagated by division, but this is
necessarily a slow process. The better
way is to raise the plants from seed,
which should be sOwn as soon as ripe
in the open ground. A well drained
position is the most suitable for the
plant.
