COOPER. Jr Chief Reporter. 8 .W. HEWINS....Now York Representative , Office 173 Broadway. For hygienic reaosons , Senator Hig- bie would like to exchange Albany for Washington. Richard is a cunning lad who has renchedfthe length of his polit- ical tether , and tho Fates aro his foes. Without extra magnifying g lasses he can readily read the hand-writing on the wall , and itis as dec!rive as that which turned Belsbazzar ' s feast into a funeral. Confusionville will not pan out 11 Congressman to any great extent; nnd Richard the First , of Jamaica , can ' t crown Richard the Second on the seaweed of Sumpwams. —| Bulletin. As Senator Higbie is thus \ whistled down the wind , \ and as Baby lon ought to be represented in the forthcoming Congressional contest , we suggest Hon. John R. Reid as a lit person for the De- mocrncy to name. He possesses every qualification , nnd us he is well known throug hout the dist rict , would prove a strong candidate. It seems to lie con- ceded that Queens will name the Repub- lican candidate—Hon. Henry C. John- sou —and if that be the case .Suffol k should have the opposing nominee , and i- .x-Juilgc Reid shonld be named. If not. why not? We await the answer of the Warwick*. P. S. —Since writing the above we have read the following in the L. I. Sound , of Whitestone , Editor W. S. Overton ' s paper—and reproduce it to show the regard felt for two SulTolk County Reptibltca&s in Qncena County: Ei ther Joseph Nimnio , Jr., of Hunt- ington , or Senator Higbie , of Baby lon , lielotig to the McCoriniek school of pure politics , unswerving rectitude , and a dear uud pure life. Both possess the Jeffersoiiian qualifications in a marked degree, and either, we think , would add materiall y to the strength of the. ticket. Irive uti the Hiitt titifctnii or the lialiy lon man for a candidate and our party faith is made firmer , onr standard exalted , and our hope for success augmented. Evidently Bro. Overton is not a fol- lowe r of Johnson. We are sure, how- ever , that he will agree with us that the Democracy can do no better than to name ex-Judge Reid. KJ'Tho \ honest money \ rall y at Madison Square Garden , New York , on Tuesday evening, when IT011.W. Bourke Coekrun addressed what was probabl y the largest audience ever seen at a po- litical meeting, was an event that nierrits more limn passing notice. It was un- mistakabl y an earnest declaration against the Chicago p latform and the nominees of thu regular Democ racy. Yet we doubt if the attendance wonld havo been nearl y as large or the enthu- siasm anything like us great had the weather been as torrid as it was when candidate Bryan spoko. It was never- theless a si gnificant assemblage , and its influence should not be underrated . Mauy Vif the Democratic leaders of lSew York State are certainl y unalterabl y against Bryan and Sowull and the p lat- form on which they stand. The ap- p lause with which every point of Mr. Cockran ' s speech was greeted proves this . It may be Unit many of his statements can be disproved , but the fact remains that he voiced the senti- liienls of the majority of the men who ure in control of tho Democratic party in Ihis State. While it may I N ' true that the silver sentiment is gaining strength in the Easl. it. is our opinion that the fear of a debased currency— though that fear may or may not be well founded—will result in the elec- tion of McKlnley and Hobart and the retention of the single monetary stand- ard. rKT'Bv'i . Williamson, of the River- head News, continues to deprecate the candidacy of Hon. Richard Hi g bie for the Congressional nomination , and says that lite Senator cannot bo a candidate under existing circumstances. We do not know thai he is . but w*; do think he ought to be , and we should like to see him nominated. If he is not. we hope someone equall y well qualified will be named , and we H OIK \ , moreover, that tbe candidate will come from Suffolk County, lt is our op inion, however , that Queens will, as usual , be given the honor, lt is possible, thoug h , that ii Queens names the Republican candidate the nominee of the Democracy may come from Suffolk, and it is also possible tliat the latter may be elected. It is a long time since Suffolk County has been represented in the National Legislature bv one of her sons. txVThe Civil War close d in 1885 , yet the sp irit that was then rampant Mill lives iu New Haven .

If the \KunuelT' were viewed more favorably tban he is in the light of recent occurrences his action in de- claring for \honest\ money wonld probabl y carry more wei g ht with it CiTThe Bulletin says editorially: Lawyer Belford being a dangerous rival , certain ambitions Republicans are gentl y fanning him with tbe breezes of hope deferred. Offering him the empty chance forthe Congressional nomination is expected to \do the trick. \ The scheme is too palpable to mislead the most stolid. As Suffolk has the Senator , Qneens wonld promptly give the Pro- fessor a new and vivid version of \Not for Joo \ while working the oracle. Which leads the Riverhead News to remark : This is surprising. Has tho Bulletin forgotten , or has it nover heard , that the First Senatorial District is not what it used to be? We beg to remind our Huntington neighbor that Rich- mond and Suffolk now constitute said district, and that Queens is not \in it, \ but p lays a lone hand as the Second District all by herself. This being tho case the possession of the Senator on the part of Suffolk offers no reason why a Congressional candidate should not be found in this connty. In the p icturesque language of the day the consideration so thoughtfull y pointed out by the Bulletin is one that will \ cut no ice \ in the convention. We are surprised to find the Bulletin in a position to receive such a rebuke as is g iven ir. by the News. Bro. Rogers must have been dreaming when he wrote the paragraph which tho News corrects. £_?¦ Mary Abigail Dodge , the \ Gail Hamilton \ of American literature , is dead at her home in Hamilton , Mass. She was a remarkable woman in all re- spects and occup ied a hi g h p lace in lit- erary circles—a p lace won by her own efforts and retained in the same way. Miss Doege was a forceful , original au- thor and her books endeared her to thousands to whom her physical being was unknown. Her death is a decided loss to American literatnre. E__ TWe are surp rised to find the Albany Evening Journal (Republican! referring to ex-U. S. Senator Warner Miller as a h ypocrite, fraud and pre- tender. Such epithets as these were , we supposed , kep t solel y for nse in re- ferring to candidate Bryan and other silvcrites. WHO FOR eoNonr.ss i The Convention «' <•«= .second Assembl y District.

The gatheringlwas a truly harmoninous one in every respect and , if any of the political opponents of Hon. T homas C. Piatt came to the convention with knives in their boots (as it was rumored they would), tbey certainly kept them there , as the proceedings of the con- vention passed off without friction and the meeting was a verita ble lovo feast. The following delegates were unani- mousl y chosen to the State Convention : Josiah Robbins. William T. Louden , Hon. Carll S. Burr , Jr. . C. Melville Smith* . alternates .Capt. Henry C.

Ackerly, and Livingston Smith; alternates , William G. Nicoll , Harry G. Clock , C. M. Smith and Allison Lowndes. The delegations were both uninstract- ed , but is admitted that the former will support the most log ical organization candidates for Governor and Lieutenant- Governor , while the latter will give their united support for the nomin- ati on of County Judge Garrett J. Garretson . of Queens County, for Supreme Conrt Judge. Addresses were made bv State Senator Richard Higbie , Dr: E. S.

Reeve presented a set of resolutions indorsing the ad- mini stration of Governor Morton and the legislation of Senator Hi g bio and Assembl ymen Burr and Post at Albany last winter. They were adopted. The delegates to the State Convention were nninstrncted , but a poll among those present showed a sentiment toward indorsing Mort in and Saxton for re-nomination. Judge Garretson , of Queens Connty, is the favorite for the Supreme Court nomination. REPUBLICANS IN COUNCIL Lawley (expert shorthand reporter)— I say.

An operation for the removal of a cataract from the rig ht eye of Valentine William s , of this village , was success- full y performed recently by a p hysician residing at Bayport , who makes a spccailty of ailments of this land. Mr. Williams has been greatly troubled with his eyes for several years past , and was gradually losing the sight of both eyes. He had consulted with a number of physicians at different times , and finall y fearing that he would become totall y blind , decided upon risking an operation, which was performed at his residence. The removal of the cataract , a whitish substance abont a seventh of an inch long, was accomplished without pain and the eye has since continued to im- prove rapidl y, and it is thought that in a short time the si ght of it will be entire- l y restored. If tho operation proves successful Mr. Williams will probabl y have a similar operation performed on his left eyo. Mr. William s is still con- fined to his home , but will , if no un- favorable symptoms appear soon bo able to resume the management of his general hardware business. He has preserved the cataract in alcohol. We congratulate bim upon tbe prospect of having his si g ht restored to him . and trust that he will have no further trouble of this kind in the future.

During the terrible thunder storm which swept over the village on Tues- day evening last a bolt of lightning struck the bam on the Knapp villa , on Saxon avenue. The bolt passed through the building, but failed to set the structure on fire. The same bolt knocked down tho coachman of Congressman Minor , of New York , who is occupying the cottage this summer. The man was standing near the front gate holding a team of horses when he was suddenl y thrown to the ground and rendered unconscious b y tne shock. He was p icked up and carried into the honse , where he finally regained consciousness. The vivid flash for a time blinded him , but he later regained his sight and has since felt no ill effects from his unpleasant experience. Josep hine, the eig ht-year-old daughter of School Commissioner Charles W. Fordham , died at her parents ' home on Sunday morning last , after an illness of only four days ' duration.

A post morten examination was performed , which revealed the fact that a cherry pit had lodged in the veriform appendix.

His father is John Caffrey, one of the life-saving crew at Tianna. Frank had been attending school at Onconta and was home for the vacation, expecting to return in September. He was 17 years old , and will be missed by his many friends here. Two small children of Cap t. Overton , of Stony Brook , had a »navrow escape from drowning during tho severe thunder shower on Tuesday. They got into a small boat to row across the harbor , but could not manage the craft , and when discovered were drifting rap idl y toward the open Sound. Pelle- treau Nichols was informed of the danger the children were in and went out in a l arger boat and brought them to shore. The shower had meanwhile begun and when rescued the childre n were in great danger—their boat having partl v filled. On Tuesday, about a A. M., a right whale was sighted in tbe ocean off Ainagansette. Four boats were im- mediately in pursuit. Capt. Joshna B.

It is a beautiful specimen , and unless care- fully examined would be mistaken for three distinct trees; but tliere is only one root. The trees are unifoi m in size and appearance, excep t where the branches are comming led , forming one immense top. In the spring when the tuli p-like blossoms were iu bloom it was a beautiful sight , and passersby in- variably stopped to admire it. The tulip tree, or whltswood , is extremel y rare on the south side of tbo Island. No other tree resembling this ono stands ill its vicinity. Workmen emp loyed in excavating for the Normal School building at Jamaica on Saturday unearthed a mystery. About 11 o ' clock while digging in the side of the hill , the remains of a barrel were uncovered , containing portions of a human skeleton. The bones were ap- parently those of a woman or young person. There was the lower portion of the head , with a f idl set of small , perfect teeth , together with an arm and some smaller p ieces. Most of the larger bones were missing and had probably been carried off in a load of dirt unnoticed. Contractor Mack took the bones home with him . and is keep ing them as a curi- osity. They have the appearance of having been buried a long time. A metal button , such as was in use tweuty- .iveoi* thirty years ago, was found iu the barrel with the bones. Last Monday morning, says tho Newtown Register, a Maspeth butcher drove to the Wallabont . Market , and while there his horse (a valuable animal) was overcome by the heat , and it was with great difficulty that he suc- ceeded in driving him home. The next morning the horse was apparently as well as ever , and at 3 o ' clock the butcher hitched him up and again started for the market; but just before be reached the bridge at Newtown Creek the hor se gave out and fell over flat on the ground , being to all appearance as dead as a door nail. The butcher , with some assi stance , pulled the body to one side of the road and then pvdled the wagon home. He mourned his loss for about two hours , when , to his surprise , he saw his horse walking up to his door as lively as ever. Tlie Wilson InqilCMl. The inquest over the skeleton found in the cellar of Edward Wilson ' s resi- dence , in Flushing, has been adjourned one week by Coroner Corey. Mrs. Wilson insi st s that tho skeleton is not tbat of her missing husband , who she claims is in California. The body when found was so badl y decomposed as lo be unrecognizable. All the clothing had been stripped from it and the arms and legs wero bound fast with a rope that had been wrapped again and again around the body, encircling the neck. The bod y was taken from the cistern in p ieces. The head was severed from the body, and one of the legs was miss- ing and could not be found. What was left of the bod y was immediately buried on the town poor farm b y order of the Coroner. Whether Mr. Wilson died a natural death and his body was placed in the cistern by his eccentric wite , or whether he was murdered and his body placed there for concealment, may never be known. Dr. Maynard performed an autopsy, but beyond identif ying the Iwdy by physical peculiarities , no li ght was thrown ou the mystery. Mrs. Wilson is still locked up, and seems to be suffering from aberration of mind. She denies that the bod y is that of her husband, aud insists that he has gone to California for tho benefit of his health. A Slick Thief. A week ago last Wednesday a sleek , fine-appearing stranger , between 50 and III) years old , came to Port Jefferson , os- tensibl y as a traveling agent for a paper published in the interest of wheelmen . He canvassed in Setauket and Port Jef- ferson , receiving a number of cash orders for both advertising and sub- scriptions. He hired a ri g of \ Al\ Wynne, the liveryman , pay ing him promptl y on his return. On Friday he asked Mr. Wynne for one of his best rigs, and it was willing ly furnished . Tbat is the last seen of the stranger and Mr. W ynne ' s rig. All inquiries have failed so far to locate either. It has since been ascertained that the man had victimized a good many people on the South Side , who were clamoring for cop ies of the paper containing the ad- vertisements paid for. His sudden dis- appearance is attributed to his fear that news of his game would reach here , and his true character be known. — [Times. ALL OVER LONG ISLAND. v . . OBITUARY. One of J the best known residents of Islip town, :; eJild who for over a decade past had Ijeen especiall y prominent in the development of that section of the township Ty ing? between the villages of Bay Short antt'Islip, died on Saturday last , at M*i residents , on Saxcn ' s avenne , where he fcad resided for many years. Bright' s crease wan the cause of his death. He had been in- failing health for a number of years rjast , but pos- sessed a rugged disposition and seem- m$yno ' j»d7o £ will-power , he \fought the malady which finally caused his de- mise With that grim determination which had always characterized his very active life. On Tuesday last he celebrated' the 80th anniversary of his marriage , and the relatives and many friends of the deceased who gathered there to celebrate the memo- rable Occasion were greatly shocked npon . learning of his death a few days later. He was in better health and spirits on the anniversary of the golden wedding than he had been in some timfy tod seemed to enjoy the event greatly. He spent the following day qniefly, intending to-go to New York ihe ensuing week , and on Thurs- day afternoon walked over to the Olympic Clnb grounds , where ho spent a portion . of the day. He was taken suddenly worse early on Friday morn- ing, and continued to sink rap idly. A Ehysician who was summoned gave no ope of hiif rallying, and on Saturday m orning Mr. Conove r b reathed his last. Tho deceased was a \ descendant of the Cowenhoy m fctmil y, who emi grated to this country from Holland during the seventeenth century and settled in New Jersey. A portion 0 f the family later removed to New Tork , and one member was elecfc«l Sheriff of tho latter city. The namt&ter became changed to Con- over. MiEConover was bom in Free- hold , N\J., 74 years ago. He removed to NewT jork when a young man , and was , until the day of his death , activel y identified-JBrith the interests of the latter city. \Wten a young man Mr. Conover took a pifcainenfc part in munici pal pol- itics , atKJjtvas a member of the Common Council $¦_ the cit y for several years , and while holding the latter office in- troduced the resolution for the purchase of the firBt steam fire engine owned by the city. Ho was an active and influen- tial member of the Volunteer Fire De- partment , and was Foreman of Amity Hose , No, 38 in 1853. This was the \ swell \ company of the department at that time: In the clash between the municipal police anu the metropolitan police, in 1857 , Mci j Conover became a prominent figure. IHe had been appointed Street Commisljner by Gov. King to fill a vacancyfljaid on June 10 , 1857, he was forcibly ejected from the City Hall by the municipal police , acting under the direction: of Mayor Wood. Mr. Conover immediately obtained a warrant from the Records* for the arrest of the Mayor oh the charge of inciting a riot , and anotfi&V from Judge Hoffman for the violence offei ed him personally. Armed with the documents and attended by fifty members of the metropolitan police , he returned to the City Hall. The building ' was filled with armed municipal policemen , who attacked Mr. Conover ond Hs force. A fierce affray ensued , d j -jing which twelve of the policemen were severel y wounded. The Seventh Regiment happened to be pass- ing down Broadway on its way to take a bosxt for Boston. It was summoned , and the riot was soon quelled and Mr. Conover served his writ on the Mayor. It was frequentl y said of Mr. Conover that he was a born fighter and nover knew the meaning of the word fail. He was for nearly half a century interested in the surface railroads in New York , and was involved in many litigation s over ths roads, in which he was in the end usually victorious. He and Jacob Sharp locked horns over the Forty-second Street. Man- hattanville and' St. Nicholas AvenueRail- road charter. Mr. Conover got it. The ori ginal 7.road included Forty-sec ond street iA-its lino only west of Tenth aventte. ;f Then came the strngle to get across to the East River and down to Thirty-fourth street as the line now runs. The Vanderbilts foug ht Mr. Conover to \Keep him away from the Grand Central Station. Fifth avenue property owners were in arms against bim presuming to try to cross Fifth avenue. . The Third Avenue Railroad Company, secured inj unctions against him. Bnt Mr, Conover won. The road , in whidi he was one of the largest stockholders , and of which he was President , was sold to the Third Avenue Railroad Company about a year ago. Mr. Condver was Vice President of the Fulton Construction Company, of which Edward Lauterbach was President , and was President of the Twenty-ei g hth and Twentjftdnth Street Railroad Company and of fib Fulton , Wall and Cortlandt Ferries llaihoad Company. The rails of the fojHier road have been laid. The road itstl jj is to be sold at auction the last of tlfls month. He was chairman of the BiSeption Committee at the time the Japanese delegation visited New York, Mr. CSnover sinco the organization of the Rep^plican party had been a staunch supporter of it and took an active part in its .formation. In - 1850 he was a Presidential Elector on the Fremont ticket , and was for many years a con- spicuoiwBgure at all State Conventions and other prominent party, gatherings. About 1880 Mr. Conover decided upon making Islip his permanent summer residence—and purchased of John C. PlattrCEtSBouse which he since occupied. He had -previously resided at Islip during the summer , and being charmed with the locality decided to locate here. He immediately commenced buying large tracts of land and improving the same as rapidl y as possible. He was a firm believer in good roads , and was reall y the father pf the movement for good iroads in Islip town. Without waiting for the authorities to make the improvements , he placed and kept in prime condition for several years a number of miles of the hi ghways of Islip town, and introduced the shell road systjem. For the past ei ght years he had made Islip his permanent resi- dence. He was a ' member and former President of the Olympic Club. Mr. Conover inade and lost several fortunes. He had ffiiany nps and downs, and his life was a very eventful one. He was fearless , honest , courageous , and , pos- sessing np end of ambition and also great' eitcutivo ability, he overcome obstaclesfeasdly and many times snatch- ed victor* , . 1 ifrom the jaw^ of defeat. A firm friend and an uncompromising enemy,. ™ made even those who were o nno_B d-q_ * fr'1-t . admire him , and his frielraS were legion.

Conductor Leander Losca , in charp of a passenger train frunmng over the Far Rockaway Branch of the Lon^ is- lann _ Railroad , was fatally inj ured at Ar- verne station on Monday morning. Lo- sea ' s train was pulling out of the station when be noticed a woman attempting to <ret on one of the p latforms. He swung off the train to help her , and , missing his footing, fell between the car and the station p latform. The train was stopped as soon as possible , but not until Losea had been badly crashed be- tween the tracks and the board ends of the (p latform. He was taken out un- conscious and canned to Long Island City where he regained consciousness. Tbe j-rtcnt of his injuries cotdd not be learned until he was taken to St. John ' s hosj ital. Losca was 42 years of age and an old emp loyee of tho company. At St. John ' s Hospital it was found that his skull was fractured. He lived about an hour after reaching there , nnd then his life ebbed awav, a sacrifice to duty. Ebenezer Cohen, a stone mason of Corona, was accidentall y killed on Mon- day of last week, in that village. Con- tractor Funnan was engaged in raising a building, to put a stone foundation under it , and Cohen was employed to do the mason work. The work of rais- ing had almost been completed , and thc building was resting on blocks. Cohen sat under tho building eating bis dinner , when all of a sudden some of the sup- ports gave nnd the building slid down- ward several feet. crushing Cohen to the earth. Aid soon came to the unfortu- nate man , and he was taken from the building, but so badl y crushed that he onl y lived a short time. The deceased was in bis COth year , and ho leaves a wife and family. Frank Abram s , a carpenter employed on a new building on Bri ggs avenue. Richmond Hill , fell from a scaffold about twent y feet from the ground , last Saturday morning, aud broke his back. Abrams was at work on the roof of a gable above the second story, and was reaching for a shing le , when he lost his balance and fell backward. He struck on his chin and doubled up like a jack knife. A physician was summoned, who after an examination pronoun ced the injury to be very serious , probabl y fatal. A stretcher was improvised and the poor fellow was carried to tho rail- road station , where he was p laced on a train to be taken to St. Mary ' s Hospital, at East New York. He suffered terri- bl y, but bore the pain with great forti- tude. Abrams lived on Utica avenne , Brooklyn , where be bas a wife and two children. Robbie Nntt , 10 years old and Johnny C' roatman , 12 years old , of Woodhaven , were drowned on Saturday afternoon in the creek at Aqueduct. The boys have been in the habit of going bathingin the creek for some time past , and that after- noon, immediatel y after dinner , started to walk to Aqueduct , a distance of two miles , taking with them Louis Hefflei' , 9 years old. On arriving at the creek Robbit- and Johnny undressed , while Loui s stayred on the bank to wa tch their clothes. Robbie went in first , and , not noticing that the tide was high , soon got beyond his depth. Croatman , who was able to swim a few strokes , went to his assistance , when both boys sank together , neither coming to the surface again. Young Hefller on the bank screamed for help and a number of men and boys who were near by rushed to the sjiot. Fred Greennai gh dove and brought up young Croatman, who had just a spark of life left in him . Robert Dick , a boatman , a few min- utes later found Robbie Nutt ' s body two hundred feet below the sjiot where he had gone down. He was dead when found and all effort to resuscitate young Croatman failed. The*bodies were con- veyed to an undertaking establishment in Woodhaveti. Nuit was a son of Jo- seph Nutt , of Oakley avenne , and a brother of Dr. S. D. Nutt , coroner of the town of Jamaica. Croatman ' s fa- ther is dead and his mother had left for Pelham. N. Y., on Saturday. They also lived on Oaklej avenue , within a block of the Nutt residence. The two boys had been broug ht up almost as brothers and were continuall y together.
