Threatened Opposition to Tammany,


There IL some talk In New York Of es-
tablishing q democratic organisation in
opposition to Tammany Hall. It proceeds
OF course. from those who have failed to
receive at Tammany's hands rewards
Commensurate with their appraisement Of
their own deserts. They do not feel out
ragged at the existence Of Tammany, but
at Tammanys blindness or stubbornness
in cutting and serving pie. Had they se-
cured larger slices. or slices OF any sise.
they would not have uttered . word Of
criticism.

The Wreck Of the Maine.
From the New York Sun.

The plan OF the War Department TO
sink the wreck Of the battleship Maine in
the depths Of the Atlantic ocean Is found
ed In good judgment and good sense.
Preservation of the hull would be justi-
fed only II 1t could be made to serve q
useful purpose In the education OF tho
men OF the army and navy. Suggestions
that the hulk be placed In q museasQ a
otherwise arranged for public inspto6Aoe
or that Its metal be worked into msdi1o
are out OF harmony with the requirements
of dignity and good taste. It is at least
questionable whether the erection OF the
ships mast as monument in Arlington
is advisable. though such use OF any part
Of the Maine would arouse no opposition.
The principal end to be kept In mind in
disposing Of the wreck is that II shall not
pass into the control Of men who might
make unworthy use Of 1t.

Tho good wishes Of everybody will fol-

instruction. The resolution unanimously
adopted at yesterdays meeting Of the
board acknowledging with grateful ap-
probation the faithful and valuable serv-

of public education" truly expresses the
regard In which Mr.. Stuart is held In the
community which he has served for many
years.
The new superintendent, William NJ
Davidson Of Omaha, comes well recon-

NEW YORK FACES DEADLOCK.
1t Seems to be Sheehan Against Field,
With Some of Insurgents Very De.

Albany, y. Y, Jan. 17.-William f.
Sheehan against the field. This sums
the situation tonight after the first
day of legislative balloting for United
NJ. Depew, and for the first time
since the bitter fight that followei
the resignation of Senator Conklin
and Platt in 1881 the legislature of
New York faces a deadlock on this
question.
The senate and assembly balIoted
| separately today, but neither gave any
candidate the majority required for a
choice
The first joint ballot will be taken
at noon tomorrow and if Mr. Sheehan
holds all the legislators who voted for
him today he will lead the field with
81 votes. Five members were absent
today. OF the remaining los votes, 79
were Republicans. The other 26
Democrats divided their votes among
Edward M. Shepard, Alton B.
Parker James w. Gerard, Martin w.
Littleton and d. Cady Herrick.
OF the 26 Democrats who voted
against Mr.. sheehan today 21 have
solemnly pledged themselves not to
abandon their stand. Three Of the
remaining five voted for Mr.. Shepard
today and resolved to be in sympathy
with the pledge taken by the 81. Mr..
Sheehan's opponents declared today
that five of his 81 votes would desert
after the first joint ballot tomorrow.
The insurgents, as they have been
called, are led by Senator Franklin
ID. Roosevelt, a young millionaire Of
Duchess county and distant relative
Of Former President Roosevelt. This
evening they renewed their mutual
pledges.
Efforts to induce Gov. Dix to de-
clare for some candidate continued
today, but the governor reiterated his
refusal to interfere. Tonight he
made this statement, however:
81 think the atmosphere will proba-
bly, clear after the joint ballot tomor-
row."

lnman, Jan. lin an accident on

morning about 7.45 o'clock, T.. j.
Finch. r r. d. carrier was painfully
hurt. His buggy is complete wreck.
1t seems a miracle that he should
have escaped, especially since the
vehicle in which he was riding was
specially prepared for this kind of
business, being small places IN each
side for entrance and exit. one of
these openings saved his life, but no
one knows how.
His buggy was struck by some cars
from above the crossing that had
been set in motion by the momentum
of one car which had been punched d
in" in shifting.
The theory Of his escape is that
the horse acted as pivot and threw
him from the track when the buggy
was struck. He was thrown about 20
feet. The horse escaped injury.
