For Chief Judge of the Court of Ap- peals—Edgar M. Cullen (Democrat), of Kings. For Associate Judke of the Court of Appeals—William E. Werner (Republi- can), of Mocrqe. Timothy L. Woodruff withdrew as a candidate for Governor just as the roll of delegates was to be called and after the nominating speeches had been made. The platform* indorses the adminis- trations of President Roosevelt and Governor Odell, and approves the dec- laration of principles adopted by the Republican National Convention. it was nearly noon when J. Sloat Fassett, the temporary '.chairman, called the convention to order, and, af- ter dispatching routine business, made way for- -the .-nomination and election of Senator .George R. .Malby, of St. Lawrence County, as permanent chair- man. Escorted by Congressman Se- reno E, Payne and Senator John Raines, the chairman went to the plat- form and at once proceeded to his speech, which was well received, and when at its climax Senator Malby mentioned the name of the President there was a demonstration. Then John A. Sleicher, of New York, Chairman of the Committee on Reso- loiioBt -^ead, the platform .prepared by EawAMEXsJ'jte^ha&n Frank Waylarfd Higgins, for two years Lieutenant-Governor,' and before ,that State Senator for nine years, was born at Rushford.

The platform adopted, although brief, was not of such record-breaking brevity as had been announced, con- sisting of more than 1000 instead of 600 words. After referring to the fifty years of the Republican party's life, congratu- lating the country on the results of the recent elections, indorsing Presi- dent Roosevelt and approving the Na- tional platform adopted in Chicago, it deals with State issues as follows: \We commend the firm reason, abid- ing common sense and strict integrity, unmoved by assaults from enemies or pleas from friends, with which Gov- ernor Odell has conducted the affairs of this State and safeguarded with zealous care its vast and complicated interests. \We believe in the policy of raising revenues for State maintenance by in- direct taxation. The effective meas- ures of the Republican party in this direction constitute the greatest step taken in the history of our common- wealth for the relief of taxpayers. If any taxes heretofore levied, especially such as affect the savings of the peo- ple, appear to be unjust or unneces- sary, we favor such revision 01 the tax laws as will correct such condition. \The people of the State <have de- creed that the canals shall be im- proved, and we reaffirm the position heretofore taken by the party in regard to good roads, for the construction of which the State has already paid or appropriated over $3,25.0,000. \We believe in increasing the effec- tiveness of the school system, greater appropriations for common schools and the extension of free tuition in high schools, and we favor the still further building up of the State's educational facilities wherever practicable. \We claim credit for the legislation which unified the State Educational Departments and completely removed State educatioual activities from the field of politics. \We believe iu maintaining the laws for safeguarding the interests of labor as well as of capital, and in extending such laws whenever additional safe- guards may be necessary. \We believe in the further purchase and preservation of forest lands in the Adirondack aud Catskill narks by the State and adequate appropriations therefor. We congratulate the people of this commonwealth on the satisfac- tory condition of the State treasury. National as well as State policies are involved in the outcome of our State election, and we commend to every citizen the faithful performance of his patriotic* duty.\ JAPANESE TROOPS ON ME General Nodzu's Forces Continue to Press Kuropatkin, MAYOR KILLED BY THIEVES Shot While Assisting To^n Mar- shal in Making: Arrest.

Niles, of New York, followed Mr. Rogers and seconded the nomination of Lieutenant-Governor Higgins. F. R. Hazard, of Syracuse, also seconded ' the nomination of Mr. Higgins. Mr. Hazard was the first speaker to speak , from his place in the delegation. Chajrman Malby then announced the roll call, but Mr. woodruff interrupted. He announced that he would withdraw from the candidacy and would commit the Kings County delegation to greater effort than ever before for the success of .the ticket. He moved that the sec- retary, cast, one ballot for the selection of Mr.' Higgins as a candidate for Gov- ernor.

London, England.—A dispatch to a news agency from Rome says that the Queen was accouched of the long de- sired son and heir to the throne. The young Prince will be named Humbert. Victor Emmanuel III. succeeded to the throne on the death of his father, King Humbert I., on July 29, 1900. He was married in 1890 to Princess Helena of Montenegro.

ARMIES IN RUNNING FIGHT Marshal Oyama Keeps tfp His Ajjcrrcs-. slve ^Campaign Against the Russians Witli No Xjet-C/p—Russian Commander Has Gained in Point oC Positions Held —Kuronatkin Well Prepared. Mukden.-Doubt of Marshal Oynmn's intention in respect of an advance on this place was dispelled when a strong Japanese force crossed the South Sha ' River at a-point eighteen miles south- west of hero shortly before dawn, and advnucing rapidly seven miles in this direction, began shelling the Russian positions from the town of Chang- shing. Thi> Japanese centre and right at noon rested on a lino running from CJiangshing >.-nst to Chuehiatun, which latter place is six miles northwest of Talping Mountain. General Nodzu's troops are marching north through the broad valley between the limestone region and the railroad. The Japanese left, under General Oku. early in the morning moved from Shihi to South Sha and began building a pontoon bridge east of the railway for the transportation of lielclpieces across the river. General Samsonoff's Cos- sacks destroyed the military bridge across that stream resting on the high- way, and the railroad bridge was dam- aged so severely by Gen. Stakeihcrg's artillery it was not strong enough to bear even the enemy's lighter guns. A detachment of dragoons, supposed to constitute part of Oku's left wing, crossed thp South Sha River west of the railroad and made a rcconnoissjinpo toward the east bank of the Hun Rivor opposite Sanchiatsu, in the course of which it engaged in several sharp skirmishes with Cossack outposts. The attacking force resting on Changshing evidently was the van- guard of Nodzu's army. It was made up of several battalions of infantry and four field batteries, with a half squadron of cavalry. The enemy shelled three Russian batteries bri- gaded with four battalions of Major General Orioff's infantry, and was an- swered with a severe fire from the Rus- sian guns. An artillery duel at long range lasted more than an hour. Then the Japanese infantry advanced under cover of their guns and opened a scat- tering fire on the Russians. Two bat- talions of the Russian infantry moved south in open order, approaching the enemy's skirmish line until the faces of the prostrate sharpshooters were plain- ly visible. Steady firing was main- tained by both sides until the enemy's cavalry made a flanking charge against the Russian left. Orloff's riflemen rallied quickly, repulsed the dragoons and fell back slowly in good order. One of the Russian batteries scattered the enemy's skirmishers with a well- directed fire, and Orloff's infantry withdrew toward Paitapu. The Rus- sian guns were shifted under fire to the latter town where they renewed the fight, having the advantage of bet- ter support. No further gain was made by the enemy in the afternoon, the fir- ing being discontinued at dusk. General Kuroki's forward brigades were pressing north through the an- thracite fields, midway between Taip- Ing Mountain and the Imperial Tombs of Yang Pass. CnesacU sotnias rwon- noitering southward from the Hun, east of Mukden, werp fired on by his vanguard, and withdrew without a complete idea of his strength. It is an accepted fact here, however, that Kuroki is making all speed possible in his detour against I—is point. General Kuropatkin has disposed adequate forces along the eastern road, and it is believed the Japanese will not cross the Hun in that direction without a disas- trous battle. It apparently is no part of General Kuropatkin's purpose to bo outflanked by Marshal Oyama without determined resistance. The turning tactics of the enemy cannot find the Russians unprepared, as iu former stages of the Manchurlan campaign. Moreover, the relative positions of the opponents practically are the same as before the battle of Liau Yang, while the Russian commander has several ad- vantages he did not possess in that part of the country. A general engagement, whether fought here, as expected by the more practical, or around Tie Pass, as Russian optimists hope, will find Kuropatkin ready for any stratagem Oyama may employ.

DEMOCRATS NAME BLACK. Candidate Is Nominated by Acclama- tion—Platform Adopted. Trenton, N. J.—Charles O. Black, of Hudson Qouiity. a member of the State Board of 'Taxation, was nominated by acclamation as.the Democratic candi- date for Governor. The platform makes a vigorous at- .tack on the State and national admin- istrations of the Republicans. l Mayor.-and Sheriff Indicted. The Grand Jury at Huntsvillo, Ala., indicted the Mayor and Sheriff for de- reliction of duty in not preventing the lynching of Horace .Maples, and ten of the mob of lynchers. Great excite- ment prevailed, and mlUiia was or- dered to Huntsvillo from Birmingham. Later Maine Reports.

The immense Pullman car works- at Pullman, 111,, are shut down and prac- tically every one of the company's 7000 employes is idle. The workmen were told to take their tools with them when they left t-htf works, and from this in- fer that a long period of idleness eon- fronts them. Buried at Llaoyang, Field Marshal Oyama reported the total number of Russians buried at Liaoyang as 3100. Thomson, 111.—This village was thrown into great excitement by two j robbers^ who subsequently gave their names as John Thompson and William Myers. They shot and instantly killed Mayor V. S. Bennett. The men, after a long chase, were captured and lodged in the village jail, where an angry mob soon collected, and threats of lynching were heard. The mob lacked a leader to do violence. The murder was the result of rob- bing Creno Geison's saloon at Chad- wick early in the morning. The two men robbed the nlace and then in true hold-up style, drove at breakneck speed from the village toward Thomson, eight miles distant. Marshal Matthews, of Thomson, was notified by telegraph to be on the look- out for the robbers. A few minutes before 10 o'clock the marshal entered the only saloon in Thomson, where he found the two men. Matthews hurried from the place to secure assistance. He found Mdyor Bennett and to- gether they returned to the saloon. The marshal placed the two men under ar- rest, but met with considerable re- sistance and called to the Mayor for help. The Mayor had barely moved to- ward the men when each pulled a re- volver and fired. Three bullets hit the Mayor in the region oe the heart. The Mayor dropped to the floor of the sa- loon. Brandishing their revolvers the men broke away from the marshal and hurried down the street. The shooting was heard for several, blocks, and in an instant the crowd formed a posse, and, headed by the marshal, they gave pursuit to the flee- ing men. The men fired six shots into the crowd, all without effect. The marshal kept firing, and shot Thomp- son in the leg, causing'him to surren- der, while Myers continued his flight. He was finally captured and both men .were lodged in the village jail. News of the murder spread rapidly, and soon a large crowd collected and threats of a lynching were freely made. Prosperity Emphasized. More expressions of opi-ion were ob- tained from bankers attending the convention in New, York City, regard- ing the commercial, financial and po- litical situation in,? .the various sec- tions-of the Gountr^-feoffi which-they come. The evidence thus obtained in- dicates a general condition oi prosperi- ty all over the United States, and also shows that among the officers of finan- cial institutions little anxiety attends the prospect of a hard tattle at the National election. Molineauxs Save Lives. General E. L. Molineaux and Roland Molineux, who was twice placed on trial for murder and finally acquitted, led a party into a gas filled cellar at their paint factory in Brooklyn, N. Y., and saved two workmen. Chicago, III.—Five jobbers held up a Rock Island passenger train near Letts,, la., a small town near Davenport, shortly after 12 o'clock in the morning. The express messenger was compelled to open the door. The car safe was blown opeu and after securing its con- tents, the robbers made good their es- cape. The amount of booty taken is not known, but one report • places the amount at $10,000. Express officials here, however, say that the safe was a local one and contained little money. A reward of $1000 was offered by the Rock Island Railroad and the Unit- ed States Express companies, jointly, for the capture of any one of the rob- bers. Posses brought by three special trains and reinforced by scores of cit- izens in the neighborhood pursued the five men. Two packs of bloodhounds assisted the posses. One pack near Columbus Junction struck a trail three hours after it was made by the robbers. There were more than 100 men in the regular organized party, and twice that many more were searching separately with more or less diligence. The rob- bers were supposed to have left the line of the railroad near Letts, toward which place they started oil the loco- motive of the train which thoy had robbed. The passengers were not mo- lested. None of the trainmen showed fight, and no one was hurt. The train was one which left Chica- go at 6.05 at night. As it was passing on a sharp curve a few miles east of Letts the engineer stopped in answer to a red light. Five men covered the engineer, fireman, express messenger and conductor with revolvers, uncou- pled the engine' from the -rest of the train, entered the express ear and blew open the safe. They tooli the contents of the strong box and ran to the engine, on which they at once started toward Letts. 9 There was no way in-which the train- men could pursue the robbers, or get word ahead of them. By the time the conductor could walk to the nearest telegraph office, the robbers had at least an hour's start. The robbery was conirnitteed at ex- actly the point a similar hold-up was carried out two years ago by the Chi- cago ear barn bandits. - —i A fusillade of shots was fired along the sides of the train to prevent inter- ference by \the passengers. The mes- senger of the express car was com- pelled to open the door. The manner in which the robbers handled the en- gine, their knowledge of the fact that Letts was a ctosed station at night, and the selection of a point contiguous to Columbus Junction to abandon the engine, convinces the officers that the robbers, or some of them, are experi- enced railroad men. KILLED IN FLORIDA FEUD Bloody Battle in Front of a House _. at Night. B>r»t Engagement tVa» on a Train—Both Parties Arm Followers in Private War—Troops Uallod Out. LONGEST DROUGHT IN 20 YEARS. GIRLS KILL THEIR FATHER. Didn't Want a Stepmother and So They Chopped His Head Off. Martin,' Tex.—The mystery surround- ing the murder of C. S. Stewart, a farmer living eight miles south of here, was cleared by the confessions of his two daughters, aged eleven and thir- teen years, that they committed the crime. The body of Stewart was found lying on. a cot on the porch of his residence. The head had been cut off. •• According to the story of the girls their father was about to remarry. They objected to -a stepmother. Re- cently a letter came for their father during his absence from the prospect- ive stepmother, and the children de- stroyed it. The father learned of this, and he told the girls that he was going to kill them, and that they -must say their prayers. He did not carry out the threat, and when he went to sleep the girls got the axe and chopped Ms head off. Big Fire in Halifax. A wharf fire at Halifax, N. S„ which started early In the morning, -und was thought to be under control, broke out afresh and did $200,000 damage.

British' and Tibetan Prisoners Out In accordance with the treaty, the British and-Tibetan prisoners were re- leased. Some of the Tibetan prisoners had been in captivity for more than twenty years. Talbot County, Md., Suffering From Lack of Rain. Easton, Md.—Talbot County is ex- periencing the longest and most disas- trous drought in the past twenty years, while the adjoining counties of Carp- line, Queen Anne's and Dorchester have frequently been blessed with nu- merous and refreshing rains. The tomato crop is suffering greatly, and a shortage is much feared. The corn is also suffering, and the dry ground is hampering the plowing for wheat. . Wells and running streams are going dry, making it a serious matter in some cases for farmers to water stock. Baxter, Fla. — The Duncan-Altmnn feud, whiah>began in a fight on a train the other day, led to a battle in which two more men were killed and over half a dozen were wounded. The State authorities sent Wilson's Battery, of Jacksonville, to the scene of hostilities. It arrived at 5 o'clock, and has gone into camp. The battle resulted from an attack on the house of William Duncan, which has been garrisoned nightly by a posse since the outbreak of the disorder. In the number was Deputy Sheriff Thrift. Suddenly and without warning there were as many as twenty-five shots from rifles and pistols fired at the house. The deputy called on his posse to assist him, and as they came from the house there was another volley of shots. Thrift was standing in front of the house. He was shot and lived but a few moments. The others returned the fire and killed Ellis Dowling, a member of the Altnian faction. The mob withdrew to the home of the Altaians, where they are ready to resist any attempt at ar- rest. More than a half dozen were wound- ed, but their names cannot be obtained. It was in response to an appeal by law-abiding citizens that Wilson's Bat- tery was sent here, arriving on a spe- cial train about 5 o'clock. The troops have cordoned their camp with- sen- tries. The Altman faction is hostile to the troops, saying the soldiers have been sent here to uphold the Duncans. Gov- ernor Jennings is not in the State, and the troops were sent here by the Speak- er of the House, Cromwell Gibson, who is Acting Governor in the absence of Jennings. Shortly before dark -Sheriff Herndon and his posse brought in seven prison- ers of the Altman faction. These men are stretched out on the floor of a. shanty under guard of the Live Oak Rifles, the Wilson Battery of Artillery and the Sheriff's posse. There are eleven others of the Alt- man feudists. The men who were sent to see them have just returned and re- port that they have agreed to surren- der themselves, and will come in vol- untarily .and give themselves up. The Duncans, who are large turpen- tine 'operators, and the Altmans, who } \maintain *s*9SMreral store Tit\ Baxter;\ have been in a quarrel for months. The majority of the people in this sec- tion of Baxter County took sides with. the Altmans, as the Duncans had made enenSies in their turpentine operations. Although the quarrel was a bitter one no overt act occurred until the Duncans with a nu-nber of their negro employes boarded n a e-eursion train on the Georgia Southern and Florida. The Altmans and several of their friends were on board and a quarrel soon arose. The Altmans stabbed a Duncan ne- gro to death, and when the Duncans interfered the Altmans killed James Duncan. The fight became general, and the train was turned into k sham- bles. This riot occurred just over the Geor- gia line, and for that reason Sheriff Herndon, of Baker County, refused to arrest the alleged slayers qf Duncan and the negro. Since then Baxter and the surrounding county have been di- vided into two hostile camps. NEW YORK STATE NEWS- Struck by a Train. John Wintermuth. a young; boy, wasr Injured at the north end of Niagara Falls City by being run down by a passenger train on the Main street crossing of the New York Central Rail- road.
