CULPABLE NEG&T&ENCE FORMALLY NCED. that they are in favor of the same mean* that we regard a* absolutely important to reach those ends. The very meant that we declared to be primary in the Clarendon hall platform, iipon which we rolled up Henry George's gpeat rote, wan the meaas that made this convention possible. The leader* of that convention were Cfclled upo» to call this meeting, and upon the same lines upon which the great moral victory of last fall was won, we were called to organize not only the state of New York, but the whole United States, upon those party Hms and that platform. It is too late now to discuss a question of this character. We would look foolish to the people all over the state who are watching us to see if we will stand by our principles. The substitute has been offered in a sense of justice, but it is not in the Interests of justice. It is gross injustice. The labor of this committee, who worked the whole night, should not be in vain, and it is a pity that we should have lost so much time in going over the same ground. We are fighting over the abeurd question of whether the dog is to wag the tail or the tail wag the dog. I want to know whether I am the dog or the tail, and I do not propoee, if I am the dog, to be wagged by the tail. The Wakeman compromise was divided, and the vote was taken on Block first, then on Boy lan and last on the contested Socialists. The vote on Block was close, as he had not proclaimed himself a Socialist, and many delegates doubted the expediency of putting out a man because of Socialistic tendencies and beliefs. Those in favor of bouncing Block had 91 to 86 agaiast. An objection was made to George's son voting, but it was ruled out of order. There was a general feeling that a mistake had been made in Boytan's case, and be was allowed to stay. Amid Socialistic yells a vote was taken on the proposition to admit both contesting delegations. It was defeated by M to 94. J A FAMOUS ATHLETE DYINO. THE SPORTING; WORLD. . Nkw Yoiik, Aug 19.—The Mnmer City « llontieal. from Mew York to Liverpool wa burned at ees. Thirteen persona perished.

Store open from 7:30 a. m., until 9p.ni, We, tho undersigned jurors, sworn te inquire into the cause of the death of Mrs. Dr. Duckett, late of Forest, Ills., on oath do find that she came to her death by Injuries received in the wrecking of the Niagara Falls excursion train on the Toledo, Peoria and Western railway, on which she was a passenger, at a bridg#two and one-halt miles east of Chatswortb, about 12 o'clock midnight, Wednesday, Aug. 10, 1887. A man who came in from White river say* that every family in the vicinity of Meeker is making all possible baste to reach that settlement It seems as though Indians from all quarters are rushing to Join Colorow, who has regained his lost popularity and influence by his bold stroke. There is a signal Are on every hill, and below Meeker, between the White and Bear rivers, die entire oountry is ablaze. Many ranches and thousands of tons of hay must inevitably be destroyed, as it is impossible to check the flame*. We find that the wrecking of the said train, which totally demolished eight ooaches, one baggage oar and one engine, and either killed or wounded most of the occupants of said coaches, was caused by said bridge having been burned out before the train struck it. We think from the evidence that the bridge was fired from fires left bumi ig, which bod loan set as late as 5 o'clock that afternoon by seotlon men, as close as sixteen feet on both the east and west sides of the bridge. We further find that the foreman of section 7, Timothy Coughlin, disobeyed positive orders from his superior to examine the tracx and bridges on his section the last thing on Wednesday, and we find that he did not go over the west two and one-half miles at ail on Wednesday, and thact the said foreman, Coughlin, was guilty of gross and criminal carelessness in leaving ilroa burning along the track in such a dry season and with such a strong wind blowing. We recommend that he be held for examination by the grand jury; and, further, it Is the opinion of the jury that the leaving of the track without being patrolled for six hours before the passage of the excursion and the setting of fires by th« section men on such a dry and windy day as Aug. 10, 1887, were acts whioh deserve severe criticism. JOHN m'makin. plainly drawn, but the convention sustained George, McGlynn and McMackin, who all made speeche* against the Socialist!. Had there been contestant* for the seats of the remaining Socialists, they would have been ousted, too. The committee on credentials took its final vote at 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning, Elmira, N. Y., Aug. 19.—The attendance at yesterday's races was very large and tbe track in fine condition. First raoe, 8-tninute class, one milej Gov. Hill first, Grand R. sacond, Confederate Maid third; best time, 2:34%. Second race, 2:35 class, pacing, one mile; Orrie D. first, Zackey D. second; Henry H. third; best tittle, 2:31%. Third race, 2):35 class, one mile; Diok Organ flrA, Ida Bell second, Nora third; best tii»e, 2:20%. hem Every citizen believes that tfae troops should be dispatched in the direction of Meeker at once, where the danger appears imminent and increasing honrly. The redskins are well acquainted with this entire section of country. The. White River Utes formerly did all their trading there and know the exact locality of every valley, hill and stream in the whole country. If they pass Meeker and continue their bloody trail toward the noi-th, the beautiful Snake river valley will be converted into a slaughtering pen. Along this stream are settled no less than 300 families, and probably not more than half that number are aware that Colorow has adorned himself with war paint once more. tag been all night. were glvC contestant Socialists. The question of substituting the minority report of the committee on credentials was substituted by a yea and nay vote, the yeas being four to one. The majority vote was then adopted without a dissenting vote, and the Socialists were unseated. There was an outburst of enthusiasm over the result. Delegates stood on ohalrs and waved their hats and cheered. about the pf the Elections, Buura, N. Y., Aug. 19.—When the Elmira baseball players were paid yeutorday Manager Smith deducted a $5 floe from the money due Pitcher William Callihan. Callihan Immediately resigned, aa did his brother, the catcher, and three other players. This disbanded the club. The Blnghamtons are in bail state financially, and It is believed that the disbandment of the Elmiras will soon be followed by the withdrawal of the Binghnmtons from the International league. There is much feeling over the dissolution of the Elmiras. Pitcher Callihan was the lion the team, and only the other day was presented with a $125 gold watch by enthusiastic citizens. man was whether was a Long speeo - J. • FERDINAND'S DEFIANCE. made, but the final LOUIS *. POST. rote of the committee varied only on* from the first test rote of 10 to 8. It was resolved to seat every contestant by a vote of 18 to 8—Finklestone, Rogers, Sutherland, Benedict, Barker, Van Wenckle, Hurray and Bonayne being the minority. The Socialists' strength was exaggerated even by this rote, as several country members, who do not believe in Socialism, voted in favor of seatiag all the regular delegates, as they believed that they had been regularly elected, and that the convention should not unseat them simply because they were Socialists. It took seven or eight hours to do this, as every delegate wanted to talk. Schevitch made an admirable defence of the Socialists. The report of the committee on permanent organisation Was preeented by James Redpath. It named John McMackin for permanent chairman, John McCabe, of Albany, for«ioe-praaident and continued the temporary secretaries. The committee recommended a state committee, one member to be named by the delegations from each congrees district; a "five minutee" rule for speakers and Cushlng's Manual of Parliamentary Practice. A minority report held that the committee ezoeeded its power in reporting officers and recommended that the report be expunged. What the Hoicow Gaxette Says of the Prince's Undertaking. Great interest is manifested at Rawlins in the outbreak, on account of depredations committed near them by Utes in early days. St. Petbrsbubo, Aug. 19.—The Journal de Bui at Peters bourg gays the view taken by The Berlin North German Gazette of Prince Ferdinand's manifesto la clear and corrA*, and declares the proclamation to .be a veritable act of defiance and an exhortation to Bulgarians to evade all their engagements. Prince Ferdinand, it says, appears to have realized that his rupture with public rights is complete, and continues precipitately and blindly in his path of adventve. Signed by all the jurymen. Chablxs H. Lono, Coroner Livingstone county. At Cheyenne, there is no little anxiety and a great deal of speculation as to the status of the outbreak. Secretary Shannon, who is now acting governor, remarked that if Governor Adams, of Colorado, did not keep those Indians at home, Wyomingites would kill them off upon their advent in that territory. The acting governor received the following dispatch from Governor Moonlight: Timothy Coughlin was arrested at noon yesterday, and taken to Pontiac, the county seat of Livingstone county. He said he could not give bail. He insisted that the verdlot was unjust; that be went over his entire section as ordered, and that no fires were built as near the bridge as Reald and Taggart testified. Utica, N. Y., Aug. 10.—Owing to hoavy 'rain the track was .somewhat heavy jester day. Still, good time was made, and there was a large attendance. Two races were finished aud one begun. First rede. 2:18 class, pacing, puree $1,000; Charley Freel won; time, 2:17%, unfinished from Wednesday; 2:23 class, trotting, purse $1,500; FaVonia won; time, 2:18%; 2:25 class, trotting, puree $1,000, unfinished. The Moscow Gazette urge* the government to act with vigor in regard to Bulgaria. The occupation of Bulgaria is needless as yet, it says, but Turkey should be held responsible for the violation of the Berlin treaty and threatened with the occupation of Trebizonde and Erzeroum unless order be restored in Bulgaria.  A WARRING WAITRESS. Mr. McMackin moved the adoption of the report, except aa to officers. The minority report was rejected, and the majority report, except as to officers, was adopted. Nominations for permanent officers were then called for and the names of Messrs. Mc- Mackin and O'Donnell were presented. Mo- Mackin was indorsed by William McCabe, George, McGlynn, Spencer, Moran and others. O'Donnell was supported by the Socialistic sympathisers, who wanted to punish McMackin. The vote was: McMackin, 111; O'Donnell, 58. "I am leaving the territory for Salt Lake. There is some fear of Indians upon the line. A company of volunteers has been formed at Rawlins. I have telegraphed Laramie, Rock Springs, Medicine Bow, Carbon and Rawlins to be prepared." Katie Gallagher Knocks a Porter Sllljp with a Pitcher. It was 10:80 o'clock when Temporary Chairman Fort called the convention to order, the first business being the report of the committee on credentials. The chairman of the committee, W. T. Croasdale. presented the majority report, which Highland Hills, N. Y., Aug. 19.— A free fight among the servants tf Oliver Cromwell's Lake house occurred here yesterday morning, and water pitchers, tea cups and glasses were freely used. A disobedient waiiress named Katie Gallagher was the cause of the row. She declined to wait upon the nurses and was in consequence dteefcorged, but refused to go, and dared the prSJjriotor to put her out. It was soon discovered that Katie had a "pull" in the kitchen. The people she waited upon used to fee her liberally and she divided her tips with the cooks. The cooks resolved to stand by Katie and so informed Mr. Cromwell. The latter called upon flu porter to eject the girl, but at the first attempt to oarry out the order Katie seised a water pitcher and knocked him silly. There was scarcely any necessity to instruct Laramie to be prepared, as there have been no Indians in that locality for fully thirty years. It is more likely that the hoetiles will visit the neighborhood of Rawlina, as that section was formerly occupied by them. Major Offley, commanding Fort Russell, was anxious to depart for the front at once, and urgea Secretary Shannon to request Gen. Crook to cause troops to be sent to Rawlins at onoe. The acting governor compromised with the major by advising the adjutant general as to the actual state of affairs at Rawlins and Meeker. Cbioaoo, Aug. 19 —Yesterday's events: First raoe, five-eighths of a mile; Huttoo first, Lucy Howard second, Hard Times third; time, 1:04.

Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 19.—Citizens in the southwestern part of Indiana are again appealing to the governor for protection from the Whitecaps or regulators. Orange, Dubois and Crawford counties are terrorized by the band, which, upon the pretense of punishing violators of law, goea on plundering and marauding trips nearly every night So general is the fear of the gang that citizens dare not express themselves regarding the operations of the outlaws. Terrorised by Whitecaps. reoommended the seating of the anti-Soeialists in every case that wa» contested. A minority report was presented by Mr. Finklestone, president of the Journeymen Barbers' aasociation of New York, which favored the seating of the socialists. Then the musio commenced, and it was late in the afternoon before a vote was reached. A recess was taken until evening after the election of McMackin, and at .8 o'clock the convention reassembled. Thomas J. Sanford, of Troy; T. Devine, of Westchester, and John P. Burke, of New York, were elected secretariat and Jamsa Ryan, of Troy, and Dr. W. C. Wood, of Gloversville, are chairmen of the committees on resolutions and platform. The committees wars chosen by congress districts. Henry George, Dr. McGlynn and Henry George, jr., are ateeng the members of the committee p »-platform. 11m platform will be the pure George doctrine with no Socialistic flavor. It was not completed last evening, but the main points were agreed upon, the land doctrine first, and government control of railroads and telegraphs next During the lengthy discussion that took place on the question of admitting the contesting Socialists, many harsh expressions were used. Finally T. B. Wakeman, of the Eleventh district, tried to harmonise things by offering a resolutive to 1st la Block and Boylaa, with the foils wing provision about the Socialists: The greatest fear and excitement prevail* at Meeker sinoe the Ute peace commission attempted to assassinate their escort, who was taking them to Colorow's camp to make known the conditions of peace. There are about 600 people in town and about 900 of them are good fighting men, but poorly armed. Women are frightened badly,, and an attack is expected on the town at any time.

They say that had Engineer Clark been aa alert ai engineers generally are, and aa they are rightfully expected to be, he would have seen the signal sooner than he did and hare prevented the worst results of another's carelessness.

New York, Aug. 19.—In the annual convention of county superintendents of the poor of New York state, held at Babylon, the committee on immigration reported yesterday that the influx of paupers and criminals under the present immigration system is a menace to the country. They recommend a tax of 95 per head upon every immigrant, the money to go to a fund which is to be used in aiding immigrants who afterward need help, and in paying the expenses of a return passage of those who wish to go back, or of those who commit crime. "John MoMackin, Chairman." The convention will conclude to-day. It will make its platform and nominate a full state ticket The men most talked of are: Secretary of state, Henry George; comptroller, Victor A. Wilder, of Brooklyn, and ex- Judge Willard Peck, of Hudson; treasurer, John R. O'Donnell; attorney-general, D. C. Feeiey, of Buffalo. This pleased the Socialists, and they supported it. Chairman HcHackin, George and McGlynn opposed any compromise with the Socialists. McMackin explained the constitution of the United Labor party of New York, and said that the rule had been made in January, and no oooasion arose to interpret it until July. It was well known what the constitution said, and in no sense oould it be called an ex post facto law. The Socialists came here after having had their caucuses and their rings. One of them was a minor, another lived in Jersey and a third was not a citizen of New York. Tlireateued Freight Bate War. Charley Jim Exonerated. Weather Indications. Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 19.—The symptoms are excellent for a big freight rate war among the northwestern roads.

This question has been settled by the highest authority in New York. The Socialists have forced this question on us and we must meet it and not compromise with them. 1 recognise the servioes of the Socialists. (A voiw: 'They have voted for you.1) Whether they vote for me or Aot I cannot oompromise on their ideas. They worked together with us last fall. I would be glad to have them with us still, but we have come to the parting of the ways. We haw our principles—first, the equal rights of all men in the land of the country in such method aa will put all taxes on land to take the value for the community; second, assumption by society of all function that are natural monopolies. So far we gq together. There is no reason why we should not go on together. But the Socialists have stated distinctly that we are not going the same way, but other ways. The Socialists want to naturalize land by string it as the property of the government, and working it by the government, facing «n capital, all machinery, all productions, and setting ud a system of distribution and exchange. I cannot, for one, I will not, for one, go that way. On that question there can be no compromise. We cannot go that way. I have the highest personal regard for many Socialists, and I hope that they will go oar way. If not, they can go theirs and we Will go our*. It is far better for us to part ootuuany than to work together where there jropld be marked recriminations, mutual Strife and mutual weakness. There Is one simple question to be settled. It is a plain, rlrrr question of natural rights."
