A youth named Jiamage, living on Carroll street, was severely cut on the head this morning about 10 o'clock by a stone thrown from the Lehigh Valley tracks by a section hand working in the vicinity of Water street. It seems that some boys had been annoying the workmen from the bridge and some of the latter were very angry. Young Iiamage came along bound on an errand and when a short distance out on the bridge looked over the side at the workmen. One of them evidently thought he recognized him as one who had been annoying them, for he picked up a large stone and threw it with great force in the direction of the boy. Before the latter could move out of the way the stone struck him and cut a deep gash into his head. The man when he saw what he had done hurried up to the bridge and started to make apologies to the yotith. Ramage was forced to turn back and have a physician attend to the wound.

Tlgue, jr., aged about 1!D years, a son of ex-Councilman John Tigue, of Lambert street, met a horrible death on the rail in Coxton yard about 10 o'clock last night. While at his work as brakeman he fell from a car, attached to a moving train, and landed on the rails. In an instant one of the trucks had cut his hotly In two and before the train could be brought to a stop the second set of trucks rested where the body hail fallen. The Occident occurred near Falling Springs. The young man was employed as an extra brakeman and last evening he was assigned to the "ram" crew—that is, the crew that does part of the switching in the yard. Last night, between 9 and 10 o'clock, he was In one of the small shantlue talking with a number of other men, while he was off duty for a few minutes. He was one of the merriest of the party until nearly 10 o'clock, when he left, saying that he would have to hurry to catch a trip. That was the last seen of him alive. It seemed scarcely u minute later when the railroaders heard the ominous sound of a falling lantern u short distance awaji from the shanty. rowing that this frequently meant a fatality they hurried out and a short distance away saw a body beneath the trucks of a car. It proved to be the remains of Tigue. The body had been cut in two and the face and head was badly scratched from whore it had dragged along the ties. From appearances death must have been instantaneous. The body was quickly removed and taken to this cily, where Undertaker Donnelly took charge of it. However' Since Utile of Value The contest for the Democratic nominations for county oIHccr is now on in earnest, and there will probably be considerable hustling among various conciliates between now and Monday, when the county convention will be held. Yesterday was the last day for registering candidates, and the entire day was spent by the political leaders in hobnobbing and conferring. Until late In the evening only a few registrations had been made, the various factions apparently playing a waiting game. Efforts iiad been made to bring into the contest several Democrats of prominence, but they failed, and at the last minute both sides placed 011 the registry names (hat had not been mentioned in connection nominations. Not until mldn when the registry was closed, was it certain who would be the aspirants for the nominations.

This question Is of such extreme Importance to all the citizens of New York as to Justify the most enrnest effort for a fusion of all elements opposed to the continuance of such a government by Tammany Hall. It Is the purpose of the Republican party to effect such a fusion and to give It full power in the coming election with the support of candidates pledged to an administration of the afTalrs of this city under which the public utility corporations will not be the masters of the people of this city. The divergence in the compromise as suggested by the president and as offered by Japan at the conference touched this very point. The president did not suggest any price or the fixing of a price, and it is believed, though this cannot be altlrmed, that his latest effort is to secure the consent of the emperor to agree to accept the Japanese proposition, with the amount subject to future adjustment by an arbitral board or otherwise. President's Second Appeal. Fittsburg, Aug. 25. — The heirs of Charles T. Lockhart, the oil magnate, arrived at an agreement whereby Mrs. W. 8.

Most persistently the report coutiuues to be circulated here that Emperor William has been one of the main obstacles to peuce; that, while ostensibly in sympathy with the president's efforts, he is advising Emperor Nicholas not to yield. The foundation for this belief is the fact, which appears fully confirmed, that M. Wltte's instructions were made more imperative and intransigent upon the question of indemnity and cession of territory after the kaiser's interview with the Hussian emperor in the Baltic sea.
