NEW YORK SAVED

It Is ot Last Out of Republican Control. The Gerrymander Will Now Be Wiped Out And the People Restored to Sovereignty, Which They Have for Years Been Denied. THE COURT'S DECISION. It Gives the Senate to the Democrats, Insuring a Democratic State Government. Democratic Claims Are All Upheld. And the Majority of the Senate Is Changed. The Decision Is Awaited with ItreathIcss Interest ry the Attorneys ami Politicians The Result Received with Delight by the Democrats Republicans Talk Some of a Coup, but It AVill Hardly "Work The KanFas Senat orhip Other Political News. Albany, N. Y., Dec. 20. This hag been ft day of intense political excitement at the capitol. Tho court of appeals had previously announced that decisions would today be handed down deciding contests for four Beats in the etate senate. The contention and its determination were of supreme interest in the state, involving the control of the legislature by democrats or republicans. "With a democratic executive and a democratic assembly, tho democratic party needed,only a favorabie decision by the court of appeals to give it complete control of the etate government. On the other hand the contest to be decided constituted theonly chance of the republicans to hold tho senate, and thus a means of opposing democratic reappportionment of tho state. It was a lively morning about the capitol building. Everybody sDeculated and prophesied and democrats and republicans alike discussed what mischief Hill would next resort to ehould the decision be againtt him. The court of appeals did not meet at 10 o'clock, the usual hour, but at 1 o'clock. Tsy agreement between J. II. Fiero and D. 11. Cady, the counsel in the case before Judge Mayham. today, he agreed to postpone argument until 2 o'clock this aftercoon so ai not to anticipate the court of appeals' action. The Mayham caso requires the state canvassers to 6how cause why they should not be required to canvass the spurious Mylod returns from the Fifteenth district, thereby declaring Osborne (dem.) elected. By agreement of tho attorneys, the official reporter of the court ot appeals. Hiram tickles, was to take the decisions and opinions of court directly to the secretary of the state's office as soon ns handed down and read them to the state canvassers' board, which willba in session prepared to hear what the court says. The decision of the court will be simply aa affirmation or reversal of the lower court's ruling on the points raised by the republican counsel in their application for a mandamus to compel tho etate board to canvass the returns without considering the extraneous matters, such as the regularity of ballots and the eligibility of the candidates. If the appeals decision is an affirmation of the lower courts, the state canvassers are likely to take no action until the decision has been made the order of the lower courts upon the board. This wid be a formal matter only, but it will take enough time to enable the democrats to get new orders from Judges Mayham or Fursman, bv which the etate board will be left at liberty to canvass the returns as ordered by the court of appeals or as ordered by the judges above named. KAs a prominent official put it this morning, if the court of appeals decides in favor of the democrats the state board will issue certificates to the democratic candidates at once ; but if it is the other way the board will wait till it gets the formal order from the courts from which the appeal was taken. As the hour of 12 o'clock approached excitement ran high in all parts of tho capitol. The elevator men and orderlies stopped every one who came near them to inquire : "How's it going?" The clerks in the departments hurried to the court of appeals quarter, and strangers wandering along the corridors and seeing the tide of travel setting that way joined the crowd and pushed their way into the narrow space alioted to spectators in the court room. Awitig th Yerdirt. The attorneys in the case, members of tho etate canvassing board and others who "vere aware that the decisions were to be taken ai once to the secretary of state's office, repaired to tho department and lounged about on the eay aofas to await the result. Secretary of htate Kiee kept his desk, about which were the attorneys discussing the various features of the contents. The ante-chamber to the court of appeals and tho corridors adjacent filled up meantime to their utmost capacity. The hands of the clock passed the noon hour, but tho oaken door from the rooms of the coui t did not open, as everybody expected they would do. FiTe minutes passed before the delay came to bo noticed Ly the crowd. Then when ten, fifteen, twenty and thirty minutes flew by with no eigas of the robed justices, the crowd became restless and speculative as to the meaning of the long delay. The republicans were disposed to regard it as unfavorable to them since it indicated that a didtuasioa waa eoiezen ia

the council chamber of the court, and a dispute on party lines everybody knew was fatal to the republicans as the court stands five to two democratic. It was regarded as very significant today that the court should cot be ready to appear on the bench at the hour to which it took recess. The republicans assumed that tho chief judge was opposed to the stand taken by the majority of the court in tho Noyes-Rockwell case and that he was endeavoring to bring a majority of the court to his views. The democrats in the crowd were more sanguine at the time passed until they came to feel absolutely sure that the decision would be in their favor. Xo one remembers when this court ever delayed ns it has done today. It is always regarded as the model and symbol of promptness. At 1 o'clock the bench was still barren of judges. Judge Gray was not present, as his son is dying at Newport. Finally at 1:25 p. m. the black robed judges took their places on tho bench and handed down a bundle of legal documents, which were carried at once to the secretary of Etate, where the opposing lawyers fell upon a mass of papers in an attempt to learn what results lay within the 15,000 words of legal verbiage. Ahd this is the way it seemod when the mass untangled: Sixteen votes make a tie in the senate but the lieutenant-governor's vote makes it democratic. Tho Contests. The Fifteenth district, comprising Duchess, Putnam and Columbia counties, has been the eubject of more apeculntion than anv of the other districts. The democratic candidate, Edward Osborne, was declared elected by the county canvassers who threw out thirty-five ballots which were marked with a printer's quad and some other irregular ballots. Since tho election, Deane, the republican candidate, has died. The Sixteenth district, in which Troy ia located, Collins (dem.) contested tho election of Derby on the ground of fraud. In the Twenty-fifth district the question at issue was the mixing up of the ballots by the county clerk, who sent them to the wrong districts, thus enabling the republican inspectors to ascertain hov certain persons voted, and thereby destroying the secrecy of the ballot. The democrats did not raise the question of the citizenship of I'erk, the republican candidate. Mr. Nicho.ls was tiie democratic candidate. In the Twenty-seventh district, comprising Allegheny, Steuben and Chemung counties, the issue turned on the eligibility of Sherwood, the republican candidate, who was a park commissioner of Hornellsviile and whose ineligibility was promulgated before the election by Attorneygeneral Tabor. Tho democratic candidate was Mr. Vi'alker. The National Effect. The importance of the democrats controlling tho senate is not only local but national, aa it may possibly decide the next elec tion for the presidency, as there will surely be a reapportionment of the state in the interest of the democrats. Besides this important matter there ia a great deal of patronage in appointment of officials to places bo long held by the republicans, such as health, quarantine commissioners, port wardens, railroad commissioners, civil eervico commissioners, stato asfessors, etc. A truce had been declared until the decision i had been unraveled and the stato board of canvassers deferred its meeting, w hich had been fixed for 2 p. m., until later, so that it might act in accord and with the decisions handed down. The parley of the men of law was so protracted, however, that tha board did not convene until tonight, when it took the following action upon the four cases in contest. In the Fifteenth district the certificate of election was awarded to Osborne, tho democratic candidate. In the Sixteenth district the certificate was awarded to Derby, the republican candidate. In tho Twenty-fifth district the certificate was awarded to Nichols, (dem.) In the Twenty-seventh district (Sherwood's) the board did not award any certificate, leaving it to the senate to determine whether anv candidate was elected in vio w of tho decision of the court of appoala that Sherwood is ineligible. The board then adjourned sine die. Sherwood, tho ineligible, was the republican candidate in the Twenty-seventh district. With this district in advance, the decisions rendered today and the action of the state canvassers in accord therewith, givo the senate this complexion: Democrate, 10 ; republicans, 15 ; Twenty-seventh district (Sherwood's), in doubt, 1; total senate mem hers, 3-. Tuu3, with the deciding vote of tho democratic lieutenant-governor, Sheehan, the democrats will bo able to direct tho action to be taken in the Twenty-seventh district, where Sherwood, the republican, is decided to be ineligible. This, upon the assumption that a quorum is present. A quorum is seventeen, and the democratic sixteen (the lieuteant-governor not counted for a quorum) wou-d not reach thu quorum requirement. Just here there arises a possible coup d'etat, for Col. 151 isa of the republican counsel is autnority for the statement that if the democrats attempt to organize with but their votes, there will be an exodus on the part of the republicans out of tho reach of the sergeant-at-arms and consequent lack of a uuorum. Political Obstetrics. Lansixo, Mich., Dec. 29. A new people's party for independent political action was formed here today by a federation of all industrial organizations in the state, including the farmers' alliance

atrons of industry, Knights of Labor, pro tectionists, industrial party, people s party, patrons of husbandry and several other minor organizations. It was christened "People's Party," and pledged independent politcal action and opposition to the traffic in intoxicating liquors as a beverage. The rest of the platform was a close copy of tho Indianapolis, except it favors a per diem r.pnsion law. Tho birth waa illmliul with turbulent scenes, caused by an ex- ! i - ... .

Washburn arrived from Washing ton this morning. In reply to a question whether or not be had announced the news of Secretary Iiiaine's willingness to become a presidential candidate, he replied that the interview was manufactured out of whole cloth. "There is no truth in it whatsoever," he continued. "I did Lave several interviews with the secretary but he never eaid anything definite in regard to the matter. My personal opinion, however, ig that if his health is as good aait is now 1 have not seen him in Latter haalth lot several Years and i

The Demise of a Prominent Lawyer and an Ex-Supreme Judge. Tebue Hacte, Dec. 30. Special. The Hon. John T. Scott died last night. He was a prominent member of this bar and a popular member of this community. The last public office that he occupied was that of a state supreme judgeship. He had not been well for some time, but the immediate cause of his death was an attack of the grip. It was erroneously published several months ago that tho judge had died at that time and tho sc. ff,-:' notice was published throughout tho state. The statement was corrected in some papers, but many peoplo doubtless, believe today that he died last summer. John T. Scott was born May 0, 1831, in Glasgow, Ky. While a boy he was taught the trade of a saddle and harness maker, but he soon afterward made up his mind to become a lawyer, and in 1S50 he entered Franklin college, near Nashville, Tenn., where he remained for two years, his trade supplying him with the necessaries of life. Poverty finally compelled a return to Glasgow, where be joined a corps of engineers as chain man in the survey of the Nashville fc Cincinnati railway. He continue! with the road until 1855, and in 1856 ho removed to Montezuma, Ind., and began practicing law. He also tcok an active part in politics, and in lSiO he was elected district attorney, and was re-elected in 18t2. During 1802 he removed to Terre Haute, and in 1 SOS he was elected judge of the common pleas court, and was re-elected in 1872. In 1873 tho judgship was abolished by act of tho legislature. He always manifested a lively interest in educational matters, and in 1S75 he was appointed a member of tho board of trustees of the State normal college, remaining in that capacity until December, lS7l,when he wasappointed judge of the supreme court by Governor Williams to " fill a vacancy caused by the death of Judge Perkins. He was nominated for another term on the supreme bench, but was defeated in 1880 with the entire democratic ticket. He took an active part in the election ot 1884, both in making a canvass of portions of the state and aiding the state central committee. He was a member of the committee eight years before that campaign, and always did all in his power to help his party to victory. Ho wasono of the best informed men in the stato on all political matters. July 7, 1855, ho married Miss liebecca E. Jone s of Edgar county, Illinois. Five children resulted frcm ho union. Ho was popular with all classes, and although a stalwart democrat he was never offensive to the host of friends who differed with him politically. A BLOODY RECORD.

I SLY EN And the Officers Finally Ran Him Down. The Dynamite Express Rcfbber Captured. HIS CONVICTION IS CERTAIN He Conducted Several Dig Train Robberies And Always Used Dynamite to Open the Express Cars. Albert Sly, "Who Aspired to Become a Second Jesse James and "Who Itobbed Three Trains in a. Month, Is Captured by Pinkcrtcns in California The Remarkable Chain of Circumstances "Which Led to His Arrest The Identification Is Complete. St. Loci, Dec 30. The leader of the gang who robbed Adams Express Messenger Mulrennan on the 'Frisco road at Glendale, a suburb of Ht. Louis, on the night of Nov. 30, is under arrest a female accomplice is also in custody, and tho capture of the remainder of tho gang 6eems only a matter of time. The leader turns out . to be Albert D. Sly, a noted ex-convict from the Missouri penitentiary. The latest eeries of exploits by Sly and his fellow bandits bejran with Ihe robbery of the Btreet car barns at Omaha in October, in which they used dynamito and socured a largo amount of money. They committed a robbery on tho Metropolitan streetcar barns in Kansas City in the eame month, and then came the robbery of the Tacific express company on the Missouri 1'acific railway near Omaha on the night of Nov. 4, and the American express company near Western Union Junction, Wis., on the nicht of Nov. 12. In all these robberies My figured as a leader, and the engines of war almost invariably were dynamite. After the robbery at estern Union Junction William A. Pinkerton found out that ly, in 1SS3, while acting as driver for the American express company at St. Joseph, Mo., decamped with a package containing $20,000. Ät that time, after a long search. Sly was apprehended in California by Tinkertons. He was returned to Missouri and sentenced to 6even years in the Missouri penitentiary at Jefjrsoa City. On coming out it was learned Sly became associated with n g.mg of routrh burglars who mode their headquarters around Kansas City and Omaha. On the theory that Sly was possibly concerned in the robbery at Western Union Junction the Tinkertons quietly began investigation toward locating Sly and succeeded in tracing him to St. Louis a few days previous to tho Glendale robbery on the i"riaco road. Tinkerton's force and tho forco of Chief of Police Harrigan of St. Louis soon joined hands, and some days after tha Glendale a iair Chief Ilarrigan received valuable information from a furniture dealer, who furnished, houses on the inetailment plan, concerning a woman and four men renting a house on twau-ave., in the outskirts of the city. The furniture man had fitted up the house on Swan-ave., and the peoplo occupying the same had mysteriously disappeared after the robbery, leaving the furniture and everything behind them. This Chief Ilarrigan investigated very carefully, and it was found that the house had been occupied by a blonde woman, euppoeed to bo the wife or mistress of one of the gang of four men. They disappeared from the house three days after tho Glendalo robbery. Their baggage was traced to the depot, and tho check numbers showed that they were all bound west. Chief Harridan's men traced them to Omaha, where the party split up, taking diderent routes west. Chief Harrigan's men managed to get accurate descriptions of the fugitives, and .Sly'a identity was fixed beyond a queetion, as also the identity of the woman connected with the gan. Robert A. Pinkerton at this time was in California and on the eve of departure for tho Ea.-tf but remained and assisted the San Francisco poli'-e, who had been communicated with, oiy had, it was ascertained, wrone by way of Denver to Eouthern California. With this information li. Pinkerton went at once to San Diego and searched that place thoroughly, then going to Los Angeles, arriving there a week ago. For several days Le kept up a search of the Baloons, gambling houses and places of that kind without success. Through a breakage in the railroad thero has been no mail delivered for three days at Los Angeles, and on Saturday last Mr. Pinkerton, accompanied by Koss Whitaker of the San Francisco detective force and an officer ot Los Angeles, took up a watch iu the postolEce and express oliicesat that point. All three wero furnished with photographs, and accurate descriptions of Sly. On the afternoon of Saturday Mr. Pinkerton observed a man in the postoffice at Los Angeles who answered to tho description of Sly and resembled the old photograph which he had very closely. Tapping him on the Bhoulder and stepping up and taking his hand so he could not attempt to use a gun, as Sly is a desperate character, Mr. Pinkerton addressed him by tho name of Sly. s:y denied his identity and said his name w as A. S. Denton. That settled it in Pinkerton's mind at once, for Sly'a right name is Adelbert Denton Sly. lie was at once taken into custody and eearched. In his possession was found f2,000 and a lot of personal property and on his person was found the gold watch taken from the person of Messenger Mulrennan of the Adams express company, after he had been injured by the explosion of dynamite at the robbery Nov. 'M at Glendale, Mo. fcly tried to throw the watch away, but it wäs recovered by Pinkerton. Sly'a arrest was kept very quiet until today, with a view of getting somo of the balance of the gang. iSly refused to make any statement whatever, knowing full well that, being an ex-convict In the Missouri penitentiary this next imprisonment, ii convicted, means life. The pearch of the house on S wan-ave gave Chief Ilarrigan positive evidence against the thieves, as in this house wero (ou&d saiti ci jsaser &ad other evidences !

taken from the express car which had not been thoroughly destroyed. The rinding of the messenger's watch in Sly's pocket fixes the crime on him very strongly. Chief of Police Ilarrigan and the i'inker-tc-n's feel confident that it is now a comparatively ea.-y task to succeed in learning the identity of the other men and taking them into custody. Adelbert D. Sly is better known in the crooked fraternity as Pert My. lie is a native of Wipconin and was born and raided near Oshkoeh. After co'nmitticjf the express robbery in St. Joe, for which, be was Pent to the penitentiary in lNvJ, bis family moved to St. Jte, Mo., where they now reside. Since his releace from the penitentiary in Missouri be has teen twice in custody in St Joe, once for highway robbery and once for burelary.and ha is at the present time a fugitive lrom justice from there, where his wiio and three children now reside. His father and mother now live at Independence. His avowed ambition was to be a eecond "Jesse James." The desperado is thirty-five years of ace, five feet six and on-half inches hich, weighs 140 pounds, dark complexion, brown eyes and black hair, and generally wears a 'dark mustache, lie has a scar above tho left ee and two false upper front teeth. Aside from his daring and his utter disregard of the distinction of meum and tuum, hw most notable characteristic is his singularly absteminous L&bito. Tho other men associated with Sly in the robbery aro equally desperate and equally well known to ttie pol.ee. Mariou Kedspeth, whose wife or mistress was today arrested in San Francisco, was first connected with the a 'air by the local detective force under Chief Desmond. II is the man who handled tha dynamite for tho Glendale affair. P.edspeth ha3 done time in tho Missouri penitentiary for grand larceny committed in Cooper county, and has relatives now living in Pisgah, Mo. Another man whom the detectives want for the robbery, but who is still at large, is L. K. Wilson of Omaha, a man of notorious character, who has been concerned in eev eral affairs, but has always manaced to escape prison. Wilsou's brother, C. F., is also known as a hard character, but whether he was concerned in this crimo cannot be definitely stated, though the detectives will not lose sight of him for a time at any rate. Coming down to a basis of fisures, the detectives believe that live men were concerned in the robbery. This leaves two men yet to be found. BLEW UP DUBLIN CASTLE.

A Sensational Implosion Occurs in tho Cellar. DrßLlx, Dec. 3i. A decided sensation was caused in this city by an ill-defined rumor that the "physical forco" party had resumed operations here, and that the first attempt had been made against Dublin castle, the ofüoial residence of the earl of Zetland, viceroy of Ireland. The rumor was found to he based oa fact. It transpired that a number of workmen have been employed in making alterations lately about tha cab tie. One of the places Lein;; overhauled was the office directly under tha rooa in which the privy council holJs its meeting. The workmen wero being hurried in theirlabon so that til the changes proposed might be completed in time lor ths "castle season." which begins on Feb. 2 with the holding of the first levee. Oa the following evening the viceroy and ths counters of Zetland propose to hold their firt "draw, ing-room" at the csstle, bat whether or not it was tho object of those who caused ths explosion to oriinatA a soare that would ret I damper on tbe vice regel festivities is cw known. Neither is it known whether the explosion was the work of individuals or wai due to natural but at present mysterious cir-cunistftno-. The fact remains, however, that while the workmen were pursuing their occupation there was suddenly a tremendous report in the office above, which ehook the buii in? and caused every one to torn palo with fright Fortunately no eao was hurt, but the force of the explosion was so great that . several wiudows of the castle were badly shattered. The police were immediately o.'iicially notit'ed of tbo occurrence and begun a clone and search, ing investigation into the aifair. It is known. that the explosion occurred in the cellar and that the damage is far greater than at lirst reported. la fact it is now definitely established that the damage to the castle is very heavy. The ceilings of the two floors above the cellar were blown to pieces.the heavy beams in some places bein? torn into small pieces. The furniture in the ofiice beneath the privy council chamber was completely smashed and destroyed. It was a fortunate thing that the workmen employed in making tbe alterations had quit work and were away to their dinners. Had it Leen otherwise thers is do doubt there would have been serious loss of lifo to report. The a;;sir has ereated consternation among the people living in and employed about the castle. All ths dynamito outrages that have been perpetrated in London and other places in Great Britain are called to mind and a large number of people have no other opinion than that the "physical forco" party has again pat its policy cf terrorism into ellect. Advioes have been received here that the "physical force" party in America was about to make a further attempt to put iu policy into actual practice, bat the authorities placed little credence ia these reports, feeling confident that any each attempts would result disastrously for those who nndertook to make them and that no one eould be found foolhardy enough to inaugurate a dynamite campaign. How false their sense of security was, was exemplified today and it is hardly necessary to say that they will dsvote all thieir energies to capturing the culpr.ts, who have been so daring as to invade the preeincta of PuLlia castle in pursuance of their nefaiious schemes. The earl of Zetland this afternoon visited the scene of the explosion and expressed surpriso at the terrifio ecercy of tbe explosion. 1! also expressed satisfaction that nobody had lost his lue, which, judging from the damage done, would certainly cave been the case had anybody been in the oilice at the time of tho explosion. The Irish authorities do not intend to rely on their own judgment in rolving the mystery. They immediately telegraphtd to London summoning to their assistance CoL V. D. Manendi, C BH her majesty's chiet ins actor of eiplosives in the home ofiice. This action was taken ia spite of the fact that ir Charlys Alexander Cameron. who, ia addition to being chief of the pubiio health department of tho corporation of Dublin, is inspeotor of explosives in this city, declares from Lis investigation that the explosion, wss caused ly a large quantity of gun cotton. It ia evident that it was the intention ot the author or authors of the explosion to destroy tho privy council chamber. A meeting of the privy council was to have been held tonight, and it is supposed that tho miscreants made some miscalculation in their arrangements for timing the explosion. Of coarse there are no means cf determining bow tho explosive was fixed, aa ererythin ia tho cfliar was blown to pieces. It hai been ofiioia'lj announced that Mr. Fred erick J. Cullinan, one of the principal clerks in the ofiice of the chief secretary for Ireland, had a very narrow escape from meeting instant death by the eiplosion. Tho eastlo ofhcials state that after tho first feeling of alarm had passed away the conte. quences of the explosion were found to be less leriont than tLey Lai feared. Aa expenditure cf at few poon. e, they say, will repair tho damage. The privy council met at usoal after tbe explosion, Chief of l'olioe Halloa says that tho force of tho explosion was exertt-d chierly in an oatWard direction, aad that it was pos.biy aa ex. julaiioB oi .
