Will the Brass Collar Fit the Colonel ? COL LXMAN AND THOMAS G. ABOUT THE PRES- ENT POLLTIGAL SITUATION. New York, April 2.-The Herald says: Col. Henry H. Lyman, State Excise Commissioner, came to ftown late Tuesday in company with former As- semblyman Patrick W. Cullinan, who is noting as his counsel, and John 'T. Mott, of the State Committee. They put up at the Fifth Avenue hotel, and yesterday morning hid a conference with Mr, Platt. It is reported that Mr. Platt told Col. must have patronage, and that Col. Lymin auswered that he would op- point only men recommended to him 'by the machine, providing they were ; men for the positions. If they did not mert the requirements he reserved the 'right to refect and appoint men of his with an amondmont providiug for /a | OWn selection, Mr. Platt acquiesced. Col. Lyman spent the day receiving deputations who came to consult with him at headquarters about appoint- ments and in discussing Raines law problems, He had a long conference with Mr. Platt last night in which Mr. Hackett and Mr. Lauterbach partici- pated. Senator Mullin of Jefferson, ar- rived while the conference was in pro- gress and was shown to Mr. Platt's rooing, Col. Lyman last night gave out the following statement: \The office is choifly of a fiscal character after its or- ganization is effected. 'The duty of en- forcing the principal provisions of the Ianw rests in the first Instance with the existing duly constituted authorities in the respective counties, cities,' of the State and I have no doubt they will en- force it in the same just and impartial manner as they enforce the other laws of the State. 'the people of this State are of a law abiding character, and I confidently believe the action of their public officials will be in the line of a | faithful administration. of the law. \I can say notuing about appoint- ment at this time. I shall address my« self first to the preparation of books, papers, blanks, instructions, otc., inci- : dental to the creation of the necessary machinery to put the law into operation, and after that is dane shall consider appointments.\ Nothing definite has yet been.decided about the principal deputies. Among Col. Lyman's callers were W. W. Good- vich ,Sheriff Buttling, County Clerk Saffan and Comptroller Palmer, of Brooklyn, who are friends of former Senator Jacob Worth. Mr. Worth's name was suggested for the Brooklyn deputyship. George Hilliard, who was selected by the district leaders on Tues- day night, will probably be the deputy for New York. He was chosen by the younger element over Ferdinand Eart- main, who was 'put forward by. his frionds on the ground that he would be pleasing to the Germans. 'The Brook- fielders want James W.

Captain Philips Slayer Con- victed Yesterday. IT DID NOT TAKE THE JURY VERY LONG TO REACH A VER- DICT OPF MURDER. SECOND DE- GREE. ~ At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Cap- tain George Lyde was found guilty of murder in the second degree, for killing Captain Lorenzo Phillips at Tonawanda last October. On the first ballot 11 stood for conviction and one for acquit- tal. 'The next vote was unanimous. Hyde's expression did not change when he heard the verdict He sat looking stolidly before him as if his thoughts were far away. His mother was sitting alone 'over by the wall. While the jury was to ag their seats her eyes were fixed upon iim stead- fastly. She had been in court all through the trial, listening eagerly to every word that was spoken. She had been very hopeful. She did not seem to thinx for a moment that he would be convicted of murder. Not once during all the procecu.ngs did her spirits de- sert her. She had been chatung and laughing when her husband, Graves, was brough: into court. The verdict was a terrible blow to her. When .. was announced she burst futo tears and covered her face with her hands. There was no one by her to comfort her; no one in court whom she knew but her son. She wept alone and wnnoticed, for the others in the room were too intent on watching the pro- ceedings to cast a look in her direction. She swayed 'to and fro, holding her handkerchief close to her eyes. She is a plain woman, poorly and almost shab- bily dressed in black. Her fice is wrinkled, her eyes sunken and her gray hair is drawn back into a little knot at her ueck. Her appearance betokened poverty. Every penny she could spare bad been spent in her son's behalf. 'The trial of Mose T. Graves who is implicated in the same case, was im- mediately begun. He is also charged with murder in 'the first degree. . EE WILL SUE. Mr. Clark Wants. Pay For His Horses. HE CLAIMS HIS TEAM WAS KILL- ED 'THROUGH CARBELESSNESS' ON THE PART OF THE RAIL ROAD COMPANY. 'The team of bay horses which was killed in a run away which occurred a Tew days ago near the New York Cen- tral Railroad did not belong to Prof. D. G. Clark, the proprietor of the Olark Business University, as bas been stat- ed. The team was the property of Mr. D. F. Clark, the father of Prof. Clark. Mr. Clark ,senior, this morning ex- plained the cause of the accident, to a Union-Sun reporter. He said: \The team was standing in the rear of the freight office of the New York Central Company. The carriage was across one of the tracks. The switch engine was passing up and down the yards. Without and warning. not even a ring- ing of a bell the engine backed a freight car onto the carriage. The back part of the carriage was lifted over so it struck the horses and the shaft was broken from the carriage. My horses were not afraid of the cars. What started them to run was being hit by the carriage. When the freight car was backed onto the horses there was not a brakeman on the car and no warning was given of the approaching car. I am considering bringing a suit against the company. I think the com- pany should pay for my horses as they were killed as a result of carelessness. Just a few days before my horses were killed I received an offer from New York parties of $300 for the team. I considered them worth from $300 to $500.\ PASSED ASSEMBLY.

Road Agent Bradway is in Lebammon superintending the hung. Blood hounds will be put on the trail. The conductor, C. J.

I got on the rear Pullman steeper Cinalon and walked toward the baggage car. I reached the front end of the baggage car when we were about six minutes out of Lebanon. A man, who afterwards turned out to be done of the robbers, was in the smoking car and ho gave me a ticket for St. Louis. When I opened the door leading to the blind baggage two men, who were stand- ing on the rear platform of the express car; masks over their faces and revolvers in their hinds, began cursing me. 'They ordered me back into the car and began firing into.the air to frighten the passen- gers and myself. \I went back into the smoker, but as I did so the bandits pulled the bell rope, and the man from whom I had taken a ticket covered his face with a white cloth that had two holes cut in it for his eyes and leveled his revolver at me as I rushed by. By this time ho got to the platform. The train had stopped, and I rushed on through the train where the women folk and some of the men wore frightened near- ly to death. I cautmianed all of them against putting their hends out of the windows and told them that the train was being robbed. T: also told them to he quick in concealing their valuables, as the rob- bars would probably go through the train. The passengers were not disturbed.\ Soldiers' Home Managers.
