Oct. 14.—Tammany Hall tonight ratified the nominations of its candidates. The attendance at the meeting in the wigwam was not as great as w r as expected. While the hail was well filled, there was a crowd of several thousand surrounding the stands on the outside of the headquarters of the regular Democracy. ExGovernor Campbell, of Ohio, who had been invited to speak, sent his regrets, as did also Colonel William L. Brown. Ex-Mayor Grant. Congressman Cummings. ex-Gover-nor Hauser of Montana and Dawson H. Fuller were among those on the platform inside the hail. John It. Stanchfield, of Elmira, N. Y., was the first regular speaker. He Is ex-Senator Hill’s law partner. As he began to speak someone In the hall shouted for George and there were cheers and hisses. Congressman Amos Cummings was the next speaker. When he mentioned Croker’s name there was the expected outburst of cheers and applause, but mingled with them there were unexpected hisses. The speaker held that Tammany Hall was the regular Democracy of New York, and to be 'oyal to It was to be Democratic. He had heard that Croker was to turn him down because he had not voted for the Union Pacific refunding bill. He had seen it also stated*that the Tammany men had been ordered to vote for that bill. This he denied. Mr. Croker had never asked him to vote for the bill. Several times Mr. Cummings mentioned John C. Sheehan's name and on such occasions it was applauded with greater vehemence than that of Croker. Thomas F. Grady, who spoke next, aroused the latent enthusiasm in the audience. He scored Dow, George and Tracy in a manner to suit the Tammanyites present. 0 A PECULIAR FEATURE. Dayton Running for Controller on a Platform He Repudiate*. NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—With the acceptance of the Jeffersonian Democracy’s nomination for controller by ex-Postmaster Dayton, the tickets of the leading parties and association that will contest at the municipal election next month may be said to be complete. Against the statement that negotiations are in progress for the withdrawal of C. S. Fairchild from the Citizens’ Union ticket, on which he was nominated for controller, there stands the explicit denial by Mr. Fairchild that such a proposition had been submitted to or entertained by him. There ceased some time ago to be any talk of the withdrawal of mayoralty candidates, and there is every Indication that voters will have a choice between Tracy, Republican; Van Wyck, Tammany Democrat; Dow, Citizens’ Union; George, Thomas Jefferson Democrat; Gleason. Anti-Tiger Democrat, and O’Brien, United Democracy. This last named candidate has stepped into the lists in consequence of Henry George’s withdrawal of his acceptance of the United Democracy's nomination, and will be given a place upon the official ballot through means of a petition. Tlie contest, however, will be quadrangular, rather than sexangular, Messrs. Gleason and O’Brien being scarcely regarded as in the running. A peculiar feature of the political situation is that while Mr. Dayton has accepted the nomination for controller on the George ticket, he announces that he does not stand on the platform of the Jeffersonian Democracy. The chasm thus created is thus bridged by the declaration of Georgeite managers that the campaign committee long ago came to the conclusion that the office of controller was not a plitical one. Provided the man selected for the place on the ticket was in every way qualified for the office, the managers say it is not necessary that he should indorse all the planks of the platform and no such Indorsement had been required of Mr. Dayton. Mr. Dayton said to-day that the issue he would make in his campaign would be that of personal liberty vs. political tyranny. A. P. A. Candidate Defeated. NASHVIDDE, Tenn., Oct. 14.—Full returns from all the wards show the election of R. H.

THE WOMEN QUARRELED 0 MRS. HARDIIHS DREW A REVOLVER AND SHOT MISS ROSENBAUM. ♦ Domestic Difficulties Lead to Murder in Jeffersonville—Huntington Police Squabble. - 9 Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Oct. 14.-At 8 o’clock this evening Mrs. Lizzie Harding shot and fatally wounded Miss Mary Rosenbaum, daughter of August Rosenbaum, one of the best-known German residents of the city. The shooting was the result of a trilling disagreement between the two families. The Harding woman had been told that Miss Rosenbaum had made some remarks about her, and meeting her on the street in front of Mr. Rosenbaum’s store, they had a few words and the shot was fired. Intense excitement exists in that part of the city over the affair. Mrs. Harding was arrested at once by Chief Webb and hurried to jail. Miss Rosenbaum was very popular among the German residents. John Rosenbaum, a brother of the wounded young woman, had been keeping company with Miss Harding and his parents objected. This angered the Hardings. According to the statement of the wounded girl’s mother, Mrs. Harding passed by the store where the mother and daughter were sitting in front and there was a quarrel. Mrs. Rosenbaum says Mrs. Harding drew her revolver during the quarrel, fired at Miss Rosenbaum and then walked coolly down the street. Mrs. Harding claims she shot in self-defense, and that it was an accident. She charges Miss .Rosenbaum with having been “circulating reports” about her. She has secured the Hon. M. Z. Stormond to defend her. GOOD TEMPLARS GRAND LODGE. Forty-Third Annual Session Just Closed In Logun sport. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANSPORT, Ind., Oct. 14.—The fortythird session of the Grand Lodge of Indiana Good Templars was brought to a close this evening. The attendance during the two days was large, many prominent workers in the temperance cause from throughout the State being present. Grand Chief L. S. Wade, of Lafayette, presided. This is the third time the Grand Lodge has consecutively convened in this city, which is considered one of the strongholds of Indiana Good Templars. There are forty-three lodges in the State, and this year a number of them, especially those from the southern part of the State, sent delegates pledged to an effort to secure the next session of the lodge for Indianapolis. One of the pleasant incidents of the opening session yesterday was a stirring address by Mrs. Catherine A. P. Smith, of this city, the widow of the late Nicholas Smith, the oldest Good Templar in the United States. The reports of the grand chief Templar, grand secretary, grand junior Templar and grand treasurer showed the order in the State to be in a flourishing condition, the report of the treasurer showing a small balance in the treasury. During the year a number of the lodges in various parts of the State have been confronted with the question as to whether or not they should draw the color line, and the’Grand Lodge was asked to take action in regard to the matter. After a thorough discussion it was unanimously decided that colored people should receive recognition by the lodges. A feature of last night's session was an address by Mrs. Alice Van Pelt, of ShelbyviliM her subject being “The State of Our CoMtry, and Political Action.” She spoke on uie evils threatening the country on account of the liquor traffic, and was especially hitter in her denunciation of Sunday excursions and Sunday bicycle riding, and scored the political parties for making the money question the leading issue of the last campaign to the exclusion of the liquor question. 0 NO FAY FOR POLICEMEN. Metropolitan Force Is Watting for Supreme t'onrt Decision. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HUNTINGTON, Ind., Oct. 14.—The litigation growing out of the appointment of a metropolitan police board for this city by the Governor is stiil on. One case, attacking the validity of the appointments, brought by the Democratic members of the Ccuncil, heard by Judge Robey and decided in favor of the appointees, has been appealed to the Supreme Court. The Council then refused to pay the officers who had been appointed policemen. The captain of the police brought mandate proceedings for his salary and Judge Watkins ordered the Council to pay the officers, but it still refused, first having filed a bond for an appeal to the Supreme Court from the ruling of Judge Watkins. The Council was then cited to appear for contempt. In reply the Democrats set up that their bond for an appeal acted as a stay of proceedings in the lower court. The argument was heard Saturday, and this morning Judge Watkins decided that the Council could not be punished pending the hearing of the case in the Supreme Court. This leaves the case badly confused. The metropolitan police board is in authority, but the Council refuses to pay salaries. The authority of the State is openly defied, and all for malicious partisan purposes. As the Council no longer has authority to appoint policemen and will not pay the present officers, it is possible the town may be handed over to the thugs and hoodlums until a Supreme Court decision settles the matter. It is conceded that the metropolitan police service is more efficient and from S6OO to SI,OOO a year cheaper, but the Democratis are fighting it because it has removed the chance of paying political debts with positions on the foree.

The college has entered on the task of securing another SIOO,OOO before the close of the century. To this fund $25,000 has already been sub-‘ scribed, and Mr. John D.

ing visions, the brilliant fiction breeds discontent. Such show the twisted spirit. It is not the direct truth which they accept or want. It is some distorted view of life and duty.” The international convention was called to order at 2:45 o’clock this afternoon. The international convention committee’s report was read. It told of the work and condition of the brotherhood, as follows: “Surveying the brotherhood movement to-day from the vantage ground of the fourteenth year of its life, we are strongly impressed by the fact that its growth has been natural rather than forced. It had its birth in St. James Parish, Chicago, in answer to a grievous need. It spread quietly to other parishes in the United States, because there also it answered to a need. In the same unobtrusive manner and for the same reason, it has spread to other lands, so that we now count six national branches, united in one brotherhood of St. Andrew. In the church in the United States there are 1,226 chapters, with 12.000 members; in the Dominion of Canada, 212 chapters, with 1,500 members; in Scotland, twelve chapters, with 100 members; in Australia forty chapters, with 350 membirs; in the West Indies and South America, sixteen chapters, with 360 members. In the Church of England, where the movement has but recently taken organized form, thirty-nine chapters, with 350 members. We have appointed James L. Houghteling, of Chicago, president of the brotherhood in the United States, as president of the first international convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. We appoint as vice presidents Most Rev. Enos Nuetell, D. D., archbishop of the West Indies and president of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew in the West Indies and South America; N. Ferrar Davidson, president of the brotherhood in the Dominion of Canada; John E. Baird, of the council of the brotherhood in the United States. We appoint as secretaries, W. J. Diehl and Taylor E. Brown, of the brotherhood in the United States; G. R. Ruttan, of the brotherhood in Canada; F. N. Isaacs, of the brotherhood in the West Indies.” President James L. Houghteling, founder of the brotherhood, in his address of welcome, was cheered lustily. Archbishop Nuetell, of Jamaica, spoke in response, as also did R. Vashon Rogers, vice president of the brotherhood in Canada; Cyril A. Arlington, of All Souls’ College. Oxford. England. an,d Rt. Rev. Edward Stuart Talbott, lord bishop of Rochester.

HAS FAITH IN HIS WIFE. Statement from Governor Atkinson— Reply by Camden Sommers. GLENVILLE, W. Va„ Oct. 14.—Governor Atkinson has made a statement concerning the trial of his wife, of which the following are the. principal points: “I have hitherto said nothing for publication in this case except to merely state that I know the prosecution was actuated by malice and hatred. It is a family quarrel, and the public knows that they are the most bitter disputes. I have heard every sentence of the testimony given in the case. Independent of the law, which, in my judgment, does not class this case as a probable forgery, and independent also of the fact that, in my opinion, it was error to admit testimony on other matters which cannot be directly connected with the crime set out in the indictment, I am clearly of the opinion that several witnesses and, indeed, all the real testimony upon which the case hinged had been induced to testify for a consideration. I am led to this conclusion by the demeanor of the witnesses while testifying on the witness stand and by the fact and circumstances connected with their testimony, -coupled with the further fact that the offers were made to other witnesses or their representatives to pay money to them or be given lands without the payment of money thereafter, provided they would testify against the defendant, Mrs. Atkinson. It is. therefore, evident that there was an effort being made to suborn Witnesses and I am thoroughly convinced that two or more of them were absolutely purchased. I cannot believe that I am mistaken on this point. “The evidence brought out In this trial also shows that Mrs. Atkinson, prior to her marriage to Judge Camden, received an anonymous letter warning her not to marry said Camden; that at the time the will of Judge Camden was about to be probated various other letters were written to her threatening newspaper publication unless a large sum of money was paid, and which, if paid, it was promised nothing would be said or published relative to her; that prior to her marriage to me another similar anonymous letter was sent to her threatening her with other troubles, including newspaper publications, would be thrown across her pathway. The demands made in these anonymous blackmailing letters were not acceded to nor complied with, and the result was that the vilest of vile publications appeared against her in newspapers. “In my honest, unbiased judgment, she is guilty of no crime whatever, and most certainly the crime of tiding and abetting in uttering the forged papers charged against her in the indictment, was in no sense proven in the trial of this case.” Camuen Sommers made this statement for publication: “I have no comments to make concerning the merits of the case beyond my former statement, regarding the matter prior to the present trial whereby unscrupulous counsel and the witnesses for the defense tortured, twisted and lied about me. 1 will hereafter studiously avoid giving them even v shadow of an excuse to resort to similar tactics when the case again comes ,ip for rehearing. I have been actuated ii this matter alone by a desire to protect, tin- .state of my grandfather m>m the merciless rapes of conspiring mercenaries, and to prove to the world that Judge Camden, in his declining years, instead of losing that sterling sense of justice and love of his children which had always characterized the life of this noble man, was the pitiful victim of misplaced confidence in those by whom he was surrounded In his old age. and that his integrity, which ho retained until the last, compelled a resort to forged processes to blacken his fair name and steal the birthrights of his children. I think the world now knows this.’*

NUtNSYJuYANLA SXPLAN OF FEDERATION - ♦ AGREED ON BY FOUR OF THE BIG RAILROAD BROTHEKHOODS. ♦ To Be Snhmitted to Their Lodges for Tlielr Approval—West Virginia Strike Still Unsettled. PEORIA, 111., Oct. 14,—The conference of the four railroad brotherhoods did not end until 11:10 to-niglit, when it adjourned sine die, having agreed on a plan of international federation which will be submitted to the approval of the lodges of the trainmen, telegraphers, conductors and firemen in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Returns will not all be in until the Ist of January. The report sent out to the effect that Grand Master Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Engineers, had blocked the conference during Ins visit Wednesday has no foundation. The federation idea has not been indorsed in convention by his organization, as those of the others have done, so that he had no voice in the conference and no'authority to act had he been in it. He had nothing to uo with the federation conference, but came to attend a meeting of the executive council of the five railroad brotherhoods to discuss desired legislation. Ratchford's Mission Fruitless. **”" CHARLESTON, W. Va., Oct. 14,-The efforts to adjust the difference between the coal operators of the Kanawha valley and their men has failed absolutely and President Ratchford left to-night for Columbus, disheartened over his failure. Two conferences were held to-day between a committee of miners, including President Ratchford and Chris Evans, and a committee of operators. The priqe offered by the operators was 30 cents for soft and 56 cents for hard coal. The miners accepted this, but when the question of a signed agreement to bind all the operators was presented they objected. They wanted the owner of each individual mine to make and sign a separate contract. This was the first disagreement and the second one was on a demand, made by the miners, that the men should not be discriminated against for not dealing at the company store. The operators refused to agree to this, and the conference was at an end. President Ratchford feels bitter towards the operators. He said he came here fully determined to settle the strike in some way. The miners, he said, had conceded nearly every vital point, and he was convinced that the operators were determined to fight the miners’ organization in West Virginia. He says the fight will be continued on the part of the coal diggers and he does not now hope to see a settlement at any time soon. Strike of Printers. BUFFALO, N.
