The committee appointed at last night's meeting to notify Justice William J. Gaynor of his nomination called on him at his ofilce in the Real Estate Exchange building this morning. The committee consisted of James McMahon, Thomas McCann. C. Augustus Haviland.

William P. Ferguson and Charles O'Connor Hennessey. Mr. McMahon acted as chairman. He told the Justice of the action taken and hoped he would consent to accept.

The people, he asserted, recognized the great sacrifice he was asked to make, but he had "made many in the past and they felt he would not fall them at this time. Mr. McMahon said the meeting last night was arranged and carried out. by people not in politics and the action taken was without his. the judge's consent, or without knowing whether he would accept.

Justice Gaynor thanked tbe committee for the honor shown him. and said he would give the matter his careful consideration. He will notify the committee in a few days of his decision. The action to day was entirely informal. After mutual congratulations the committee withdrew.

The impression among the people who got up the meeting is growing that Justice Gaynor will accept the nomination. Mr. McMahon is saDguine that he will see his way clear and enter the race. Mr. Hugh V.

Monahan said to day that he had no conversation with Justice Gaynor. but knowing him as he does. no is conlldent that he will not decline.

"Will you accept the nomination for mayor tendered you at the Academy of Music last night?" was the first question put to him. "I haven't a word to say." was the Judge's reply. He said that he had seen the committee appointed last nisht. to notify him of his nomination, and tha. he had given them no answer, but that was all.

He shouted "Burglars: get out!" The man made a dash for the open window looking out on tho fire escape and disap peared. The shout of the young man aroused the other members of the family, and they ran to the front room. Young Wedeles ran for the call bell arid rang for the watchman. The latter responded by answering through the speaking rube. As quickly as possible the watchman, who said his name was Michael Rudayefr.

was told what tho matter was he grasped his night club and rushed up the stairs. He ran to the open window and looked out. but there were no signs of tho burglar. Then the watchman ran down stairs to the street and shouted for the police at the top of his voice and rapped on the side walk with his club. No policeman was around.

The watchman started on a hunt for a policeman, when he heard what sounded to him as 11 someone was groaning. The watchman listened and traced the suuiid to the stone paved area between the sidewalk and the building protected by an Iron railing. It was dark, but he had no trouble in locating an object at the bottom of the area. Realizing that it was the burglar and that he hud fallen in his efforts ro escape, the watchman first took a look at the injured man. and.

seeing that he was unconscious, he hurried for a. policeman. He found Policeman Samson and the two went to where the burglar lay and lifted him to the sidewalk. He was not bleeding from any wound and there were no outward evidences that be was Injured. Tbe policeman sent in a hurry call for an ambulance and tbe man was taken to the Presbyterian hospital.

Every effort was made to revive him. but be died at 5:30 o'clock without regaining consciousness. "I he burglar was ubout IM years old. of slender 1 hi lid and had a light complexion. Ho was about .7 feet inches tall and wore a light mustache.

CREW AND OFFICERS SAVED. The Cruiser Either Ran on Colorado Reef or Dragged Her Anchors in a Cyclone and Was Dashed on the Rocks.

She ts Now a Helpless Wreck, Goina: to Pieces in the Surf She Was a Fine Ship. Havana, October 1 Another Spanish war ship has Deen lost. The cruiser Cristobal I Colon has been wrecked near Cape Antonio i and it is believed will prove a total loss. i i The exact details of the disaster have not yet 'been known, but bo far as can gathered the facts are as follows: For some days past a 1 cyclonic disturbance has prevailed over these latitudes and Is understood to have recurrred in the central part of the Gulf of Mexico and was looked upon as likely to enter tbe United States through New Orleans and Apslaebioo la. The Cristobal Colon appears to have encountered the severe weather off Antonio and to have put into tho Gulf of Guadiana for shelter.

There she tried to ride out the fierce and heavy gales but was slowly driven towards Colorado Point off which jutting there is a dangerous reef known as the Colorado Reef. When the eonimandeT of the cruiser saw that he i ould no: make headway against the storm, he attempted to anchor according to the stories told here, but the anchors would not hold and the cruiser was driven ashore. Another report has it that Cristobal ran on the reef at night when her commander believed her to be far enough off chore to continue steaming against the force of the cyclone. In any case, she ran ashore late last night or early this morning in a most dangerous position and with a heavy sea running. Every thing possible seems to have been done to save the cruiser but all efforts In that direction prDved useless and she was finally abandoned this morning, a helpless wreck, pounding horself slowly to pieces on the Colorado Roef.

Some of the crew swam ashore, others reached land by means of pieces of wreckage and In the bsats but all the crew, officers and men, were saved by one means or another. The commander of the Crlstobaj Colon reached Mantua during the day withj tho majority of the crew and nearly all tho remainder are expected there before night. When questioned regarding t.he disaster, the Spanish captain would only say that the Cristobal was driven ashore on the Colorado Reef owing to the violence of the cyclone and it is probable that she will prove a tital loss. Efforts. however, will be made to save her guna.

The above facts are all that can be obtained here at present a Td owing to the ref.iee.ice of tho authorities some accuracies may have crept in the story. The main facts, however, are correct and the wreck of this fine war ship so soon after the sinking of the Barcaste gul has cast a feeling of Intense gloom ever the government officials here. There are none too many Spanish vessels in these waters at present and the loss of the Cristobal Colon will be keenly felt by the government at this crisis. Of course the friends of the insurgents are circulating the usual sensational stories regarding this, t.he latest disaster to the Spanish government, claiming that the cruiser was sunk by a torpedo exploded by the insurgents. In official circles, however, this report is classed as being nothing more than an invention of the rebels, and the distinct statement Is made tha: there Ib abs lutely no reason for doubting the official announcement made that the Cristobal Colon was driven on the Colorado Reef by the violence of the cyclone and not as a result of the explosion of an insurgent torpedo.

In spite of this official assertion there is no doubt that the government has not thought it proper to make public all the facts in the case and this may not be done until the official report of the commander of the wrecked cruiser has been reoeived and passed upon. The wrecked warstlp is a second class cruiser of abou 1,200 tons displacement and 1.G00 horse pswer. She formed part of the fleet of Spanish warships detailed to watch the the coast of Cuba to prevent the landing filibustering expeditions from the United States and elsewhere. The cruiser carried four 12 centemetre Hontoria guns: two 7 centermetre guns and two rapid firing guns. The station of the Cristobal Colon was the waters about Cape Antonio, of the western extremity of the Island of Cuba.

Her crew Is estimated to have numbered about 200 officers and men. She also had on I board intended for the smaller patrol vessels of the Spanish fleet and may have detailed men ashore. DEATH OF EX JUSTICE SOLON B. SMITH. Ev l'olleu Justice Solon B.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Brooklyn, October 1, 1S95. I have Just read in your issue of last Sunday the circumstantial statement of how tbe members the harmony committee ot the Sheoard Democracy objected to me at the joint conference, on the grounds, first, that 1 opposed the admission of their delegates to the Democratic state convention last fall, and, second, that I voted for Senator Hill last fall. I have remained silent for one year in the lace of much misconception and some falsehood concerning my relation to the state convention and governorship last fall.

It is now timely, and I have decided, once for all. to put that matter at rest. I was never spoken to by any politicians in respect of uny intention to possibly nominate me for governor until the Friday evening before the convention met, and then only vaguely. I had to proceed to Riverhead to hold court during the convention week, and was thus almost put out of communication, and placed in a most embarrassing situation. Before going I determined upon and formulated cer tain conditions which had to be complied with before I would even consider the ques tion of accepting a nomination for governor.

and entrusted them to another to be presented, and they were presented to leaders in control at the convention. The first was that the contesting delegations had to be admitted upon the ratio of their primary vote, or some other basis to be agreed upon. The second was that a nominee for mayor of New York city should be selected and agreed upon, whose name alone would be an absolute guarantee that bad government there would be destroyed; and I even suggested one name. From these conditions, neither of which was with. I never swerved one jot or for one instant.

To the gentleman who was sent to me at Riverhead while the convention "vas In session to ascertain if my detormina was final. I replied instantly in the atflrmatlve. The emphasis whicb I added might better be stated by him, but I told him I would sooner lose ray two hands than allow rryself to be put In an attitude of even seeming 1 inderance to the movement for better govern r.ient In ihe large cities, and especially in the city of New York; that It would put me out of line with all my past. I think it will be admitted that It was due to myself that 1 should say the foregoing now. In respect to the second objection, it la true I voted for Senator Hill last fall.

But I do not see how that objection is tenable. Does not every one know that these gentlemen who make it, associated with Senator Hill In ths recent state convention, fellowshipped ltn him, united upon candidates and in political creed with him, in fine, dipped into the sanu sop with him? It must not be taken frommy reference to these matters that I admit it Is permissible to mix national and state politics with city politics. I have said many times that the former should have nothing to do with the latter, and I am now more firmly of that optn l'lP 8bwiufr the New Seiiatoi ial ana i.em. listrlcts in Ki.OI.lt Libbaht.
