also on the ground that he is a conservative, not In harmony with the Bryan views on the monetary, trust and expansion questions. It is to be said, however, that most of the Mississippi leaders admit readily that Mr. Cleveland will bet the electoral vole of the state If he is nominated. Governor Vardaman's remarks on the silver coinage question are in affect an Important concession to the conservative element of the national Democracy. He has gone a step further than Mr.

Bryan himself. It he were speaking for Mr. Bryan the matter of Democratic harmony in the National Campaign would be settled. There are essential differences of opinion between the conservatives and the radicals, other than that relating to silver, but there Is none except silver upon which the Democracy would split. Nothing is so clear as the fact that the conservative Democrats will not support the free coinage proposition.

The abandonment of silver demand, even though such an abandonment be, as Governor Vardaman suggests, nothing more than a temporary neglect to press the Issue, is undoubtedly the most Important step toward Democratic reconciliation, Governor Vardaman's Relations to Bryan Very Close. Governor Vardaman's relations to Mr. Bryan are so close as to give his words especial significance In that direction. From them it is entirely reasonable, in the absence of explicit statements on the subject by Mr. Bryan, to judge that Mr.

Bryan himself has no hope of a re-afflrmation of the silver plank. Some of the silver leaders intimate and Mississippi friends have said that bis recent generalisation to the effect that the Kansas City platform is good enough Democracy to be re-affirmed is nothing more than a manifestation of his intense desire to appear consistent, and that he really entertains no hope for the life of the silver issue. Views kindred to those of Governor Vardaman on the silver question have been expressed by Representative Williams and several of his colleagues at Washington. A poll of the Mississippi legislature made on Thursday shows that body to be overwhelmingly against the re-affirmation of the silver plank. Speaker E.

N. Thomas of the lowsr House, who will probably be a deleft lo the National Convention, has an-aaunred that he is unalterably opposed to (he recognition of Mr. Bryan as the party leader. Mississippi will undoubtedly co-operate with the conservative element if friction which cannot now be foreseen does not arise. The state Democracy thinks well of Chief Judge Parker and ex-Governor Francis of Missouri.

It does not take kindly to ex-Secretary Olney or to Judge Gray of Delaware for the same reasons It has advanced In opposition to Mr. Cleveland. Senator Gorman is not here considered an available candidate. N. 0.

F. LAMP EXPLOSION STARTS FIRE. Sick Man Carried From Blazing House in Blankets.

J.

Mumford and his family, was started through the exDloslon of a kerosene stove in the apartments of the Toblns. Tobin, who had been ill for several days, was wrapped In blankets and carried out of the burning bouse to that of a friend, at 260 Penn street, where he was given shelter.

Offers to Erect New Dry Dock at Navy Yard for a Little More Than the Government's Figure.

Washington, January 30 The R. G. Packard Company of New York was the only bidder for the new dry dock at the Navy Yard, New York. Their bid was 81,082,246. The limit of the cost of the dock was fixed by Congress at 81,000,000.

No decision haa yet been reached by the Navy Department whether or not It will advertise lor further proposals. R. G. Packard, who is the president and moving spirit of the R. G.

Packard Company, lives at 84 Columbia Heights. He is a civil engineer, away back In the sixties he commenced his work within the walls of the Navy Yard. Since then there has hardly been a piece of difficult marine construction there that has not been under his supervision. He devised the ingenious scheme by which the coffer dam which was erected at the entrance to No. 3 dry dock during Its construction was removed.

The government engineers had worried under the problem. They were afraid to pull out the sheet piling that formed the coffer dam for fear of starting the quicksand in tho Wallabout and ruining the big dock. Mr. Packard devised a scheme for sawing off the plies 30 feet below the surface of the water and so making the dock usable in a practical and economical fashion. This is only one of his triumphs at the Navy Yard.

He designed and installed the throe 45-Inch centrifugal pumps that empty the No. 2 and No. 3 dock and he executed much other practical work there. He is the oldest member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and an honored graduate of the Rensselaer Polytechulc Institute at Troy. SAYS HER ACT WAS STOLEN.

Disappearance of Commissioner Hayes Upsets Matters. The benefit performance which was sched uled tc be given for the benefit of the family of tho late George Gibson has been called off.

Gibson was the fireman who was killed at the recent fire of the E. W. Bliss factory. The benefit performance waB to be given at Watson's Theater on Sunday February 11. Fire Commissioner Hayes put his official disapproval on the Idea, declaring It to be a bad precedent to virtually force firemen to buy tickets whether they felt Inclined to do so or not.

It Ib plain that the Commissioner did not like tho Idea of putting tho tickets In the handn of the firemen, and that he would have had no Jurisdiction if they had been disposed of by a committee outside of the department. This course was adopted recently after the death of a fireman and 82.o00 was realized The fact that the fire commissioner failed to give his sanction has stalled matters and the benefit performance haa been called off.

Vasxctlltd. II and CulumWS Chief Executive of Mississippi Declares Negro Has Demonstrated Incompetency as a Citizen. SILVER PLANK NOT NECESSARY. Opposes Cleveland His Views Represent the Opinions of the Democracy of His State. (From a Staff Correspondent of the Eagle.) Jackson.

January 30 Governor Jamea K. Vardaman of Mississippi received me at the executive office In the capltol building; this afternoon, setting aside for the Brooklyn Eagle his rule against newspaper interviews. The young executive of Mississippi Is a man of very positive ideas. He has figured conspicuously In the newspapers of the country, since his Inauguration, as the opponent of higher education for the negroes. On t'lat subject he is disposed to add nothing to the expressions of his inaugural address.

He said to-day, however, that he believed the fourteenth amendment should be repealed in order to leave to the states the right of regulating the suffrage without constitutional prescription. ''An the history of the world Itai demonstrated IiIm unalterable Incompetency to perform the functions of cltUennhlp," Governor Vardaman. in reference to the negro, "I believe the neirro race Hhonld be eliminated from polltlcM." Governor Vardaman is a Democrat of the Bryan school. Before becoming Governor he was the editor of the Greenwood Commonwealth and in that capacity he attained some note for unusual opinions and the vlgo. nf their expression.

He rose In the Demorre' politics of his state later than John Charp Williams, minority- leader of the House of Representatives, or Senator Hernando Ie Soto Money, but is not equal to them In state influence. In hie Interview he pays a high tribute to Mr. Williams, defends the Bryan monetary theory, and declares that th Kansas City platform should be reaffirmed, except as to the silver plank, which he says will not be Insisted upon. Governor Vardaman's Interpretation of Mississippi's Position. "What will be the attitude of the Mississippi Democracy on national questions which will come before the St.

Louis convention?" 1 asked Governor Vardaman. He replied: "I cannot speak for the Democratic party of Mississippi, as we have had no expression from the party in four years, hut. I believe the Democracy of contend for the principle and policies: net'odt In the KanwaM Cfty platform, with the poxslble exception of the free colnasre of silver. Bnt I wnnt It nuilerntond that abandoning 11 our. demand for the, free, cotnatffe of silver must not be constrned aa a con-fcaslon of error with reference to onr advocacy of hlmetalllm In the campaigns of INIHI and 1000.

The peuvle of MlaNlMMlppI atnnd on the money otteHtlo- to-day Jnat a they atood then. hold to the qnantltlve theory of money, the correctness of which Mai been demonstrated by nil that has transpired alnce the campaign of 1IMKI. Am there is no Immediate neceHNtty for the free cnlnaa-e of silver It will donbt-Ichm not be nutated npon In the cVt-ventloa this year," "Have you in mind any other changes in the platform?" "Only that 1 would like to see a plank Inserted in the platform demanding tho repeal of tho Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution and leaving to the states the right to regulate the matter of suffrage without constitutional proscription. I believe the negro as a race should be eliminated from politics, as the history of the world has demonstrated his unalterable Incompetency to perform the functions of citizenship in a free country such as ours." "What preferences are expressed by the Democrats of Mississippi as to the candidates for President and Vice President." "There Is no concrete opinion on this subject. The people are thinking about the matter and waiting for the most available man to turn up.

Mississippi has plenty of good material, but I do not think any Southern man is available for these offices at this time. "Representative John Sharp Williams of this state has all the qualities necessary to make a magnificent President, but the geography of his residence and the blood of an heroic rebel in bis veins bar him from the contest. The Civil War Is not far enough behind us for the Northern people to vote, for any Southern man, however great bis moral and Intellectual qualities may be. I believe Mr. Williams would make the greatest President since the days of Mr.

Jefferson. As to Chief Judge Parker of New York, he has some supporters In Mississippi. Ex-President Cleveland Is a monstrous impossibility." "How will Mississippi stand on the question of expansion?" "The Democrats of this state are very much against expansion." "On the tariff question?" "We ara In fuvor of tariff for revenue only, with Incidental protection." "On the regulation of trusts?" "We ro against the truststhat is to are against those combinations of capital fostered by tho government which ust the strong arm of the law to extort an unjust share of the products of toil." "What is Mississippi's attitude on the Isthmian canal question?" "She wants the canal, but she Is opposed to the methods of the sneak tblcf and highwayman to get It." Mississippi and the Canal. Governor Vardaman's opinion on the subjects discussed are the opinions of Mississippi Democracy, with modifications only as to the canal and to the status of ex-President Cleveland. The canal Is as popular a project as any project of Republican origination could well be.

The Mis-slsslpplana will smile a little at the gross characterisation of the administration, but they will continue to hope that the canal will be built. There are many who prefer the Nicaragua route, but a large majority is Impatient over the policy of obstruction counseled by Senator Oorman. Senators McLaurln and Money are expected to vote for li, notwithstanding their prcsenl hesitation. Mr. Cleveland's nomination for President Is opposed by most of the important Mississippi Democrsls as an unnecessary affront to Mr, Bryan and as a bad precedent la organization politics.

The pro-Bryan democracy of the state opposes Mr. Cleveland At Funeral Body Was so Placed in Coffin as to Conceal the Pistol Wound. SUICIDE OFFICIAL THEORY. Wholesale Liquor Man Had Been for Years a Most Prominent Citizen of Richmond Hill. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L.

January 30 It was learned to-day that the death of John W. A. Kessler of Richmond Hill was the result of suicide and was not due to natural causes. Mr. Kessler died on Friday, January 15, and it was given out by the family that his death was sudden and due to apoplexy.

The death was sudden, but facts reveal that It was caused by a gunshot wound, aelf-lnflicted, the ball passing through the temporal bone, or near the temple. The deceased arose about 8 o'clock that morning and called to his daughter, with whom he lived, on Church street, asking as to the condition of her child, who bad been ill. In a few minutes a noise was heard In the bathroom, as of some one falling, and It was found that Mr. Kessler had shot himself. The coroner and his physician were at once summoned, but the report of the case was not placed on file, as usual, and in that way the suicide was kept from the knowledgo of the reporters The examination was held and Dr.

T. J. Flynn found a bullet wound in the right side the head and a revolver was reported to have laid beside the dead man. The burial permit was Issued, only a few hours before the body was burled, to Undertaker W. H.

Slmonson of Richmond Hill, and In the certificate, as filed in the bureau of statistics, the cause of death was certified as wound In head, suicide?" The funeral, held on the following Sunday, was advertised as private, but many of the deceased's friends attended. The body was placed in the casket in such a position that the bullet hole was not noticeable, and some of those present Btill declare that death was caused by apoplexy. John W. A. Kessler was a widower, 56 years old, and two married daughters.

Mrs. Dr. W. T. Scovll of Richmond Hill, and Mrs.

Wilhelmlna Robinson of 50 West Ninety-seventh street, Manhattan, survive him. He was a native of Germany aud had lived In this country for forty years. When a boy, 16 years old, he secured a position with Amsden of Manhattan, and later took charge of their liquor department. During this time he mado a large amount of money. Afterward he connected himself with Luytles A a wholesale liquor house, and subsequently became a member of the firm.

It was during this time that he began to lose his capital and prior to his death It was reported that he was financially embarrassed. He settled in Richmond Hill in the early seventies, and was among the first to locate and build there after the plane was mapped out. He owned a very fine residence nt Central and Lefferts avenues, which he recently sold to Mrs. Laura Newcomb. Mr.

Kessler was a well known and progressive citisen of Richmond Hill, and was always among the leaders In any movement tending toward the development of the place or the welfare of the community. He was a member of the Republican Club, as well as the Richmond Hill Association. The news of his suicide will be a shock to the community, as nearly all of his neighbors believe that the cause of death Was apoplexy. Mrs. Kessler, who was a Miss Young of Jamaica, died about eighteen years ago.

About two years since it was announced that Mr. Kessler was engaged to Mrs. Laura Newcomb, a widow, of Richmond Hall, who has since purchased his former home. Why the engagement waB broken was never made public, but the marriage did not take place. Mrs.

Newcomb. when asked about Mr. Kess-ler's death, said that Dr. Scovll, his son-in-law, told her he had died from apoplexy. She had heard it hinted that It was a case of suicide, but could not credit it.

It haB also leaked out that shortly before he died Mr. Kessler wrote a letter In which he asked that Robert J. Fox. a lawyer, of Richmond Hill, with, offices in Manhattan, be notified at once in the event of bis death. Parties who knew the deceased say that at one time he had his life insured for at least 825.000, but whether his policies hart matured or lapsed could not be learned definitely.

On Thursday the decedent's will was admitted to probate in the Queens County surrogate's office. Tho will was made on August 30, 1001, and gives his entire estate, which is said to be valued at only $250 personal property, to his two daughters. On June 1. 1003, a codicil was added which changed the executors from William A. Jones.

of Richmond Hill, and William L. Wood of Queens, to Robert J. Fox of Richmond Hill. This will also be a surprise to his friends, as It was believed by all who knew the dead man that he was worth thousands of dollars, as he was always looked upon as one of the moneyed men of the place. BIG HAUL OF JEWELRY.

Two Men Get Away With $2,000 Worth of Watches and Other Articles. Cincinnati, January 30 Two men entered the Jewelry store of Harry Doepke at 40 West Twelfth street here to-day and, after assaulting Fred Hegner, a salesman, escaped with Jewelry valued at 82,000. Hegner was alone in the store when the men entered. One of the visitors produced a ring, which he said he wished to have repaired. When Hfgner reached for a piece of paper to write his name and order, one of the men struck him on the head, knocking him down.

As he fell from the first blow be reached for a revolver, but the robbers thereupon struck him another blow, rendering him unconscious. The men then looted the store of thirty watches and other articles and escaped. A CARPENTER'S FATAL FALL. Matthew Ganditti, 35 yqars old, living at 310 West Thirty-sixth street, Manhattan, was almost instantly killed while working In r. building in course of construction at 37 West Thirty-first street.

Manhattan, yestertiy afternoon. Ganditti waa standing on on of the second story Joists when he lost bis balance, and fell to the ground floor. His head struck on a pile of Iron girders, to be used In the building and he received a compound fracture of the skull. BAILEY OUT OF THE RACE. Topcka.

London, January 30 Lloyds Weekly Newspaper says this morning that Mrs. Florence Maybrick, the American wojhan who vas serving a life sentence for having poisoned her husband, was released from the Aylesbury Female Convict Prison at 6:45 o'clock on the morning of January 25 on special license. Her mother, the paper says, had visited her Saturday, January 23 and evidently was the bearer of important news. The governor of Mrs. Florence Maybrick.

'he prison on Sunday conferred with the prison officials with a view to arranging for the departure of the prisoner, which waa carried out very quietly. Mrs. Maybrick, accompanied by one of the prison matrons, entered a closed carriage and drove to Aylesbury station, where she took a train for London. She drove from Euston station and from there went to a private home not far from the metropolis. She will remain at the home for a short period in order to recuperate and to await the complex of certain formalities, which will give her a freedom of movement not allowed oy persons on ordinary Mrs.

Maybrick, the paper concludes, during the last few months was employed in the lightest work as a reward for good conduct. Mrs. Maybrick was Miss Florence T. Chandler, a daughter of the lute W. J.

Chandler, a banker of Mobile, Alu. Sho met James Maybrick, a cotton broker, on an ocean steamer whllo crossing the Atlantic In May, 18S0. She was then 17 years old and of an attractive personality. She hud been (schooled in France and Germany. Maybrick fell In love with Miss Chandler and after their marriage they lived in Norfolk.

Later Maybrick purchased a fine residence In the suburbs of Liverpool and they went to live In that city. Two children were born, a boy and a girl, nnd for two or three year after their wedding they wero apparently very happy. Maybrick, however, became jealous, it. is said, of a man named Brierly, who.lived in Liverpool and who took Mrs. Maybrick to a race track.

A' violent scene followed between husband and wife. Maybrick first blacked his wife's eyes and then ordered her out of the home. When the cab rame to take her away he refused lo allow her to go. It was said that Mrs. Maybrick then threatened to kill her husband.

Soon afterward her husband became ill and died. The doctors described the cause of death as gaHtro-en-terltls. or inflammation and Irritation of the stomach and bowels. The gossip of a maid employed at the Maybrick home stirred the English prosecuting authorities to action, and Mrs. Maybrick wan arrested and Immediately charged with having poisoned her husband with arsenic.

A search through the house revealed grains of that drug hidden there, while an atiiopsy and chemical analysis of Mnybrlek's organs also revealed the presence of small amount of amenlc. Yet there was conclusive evidence lo show that arsenic was one of the drugs that Maybrick was addicted to taking. It was also shown that a short time before he becamr sick ho had purchased 1..0 grains of the poison. The trial became largely a battle of experts and was bitterly fought. Mrs.

Maybrick was defended by Sir Charles Russell, who afterward became Lord Chief Justlc-i of England. Tho presiding Judge was Justice Sir Flizjames Stephen. Not long after the trial the latter went Insane anil died In a madhouse. After the trial was concluded the Jury retired and was out thirty-eight minutes anil returned with a verdict of murder In the first degree. Mrs.

Maybrick was sentenced and the scaffold for her execution was erected close to her cell in the prison. At that time came a reversal of popular feeling, which had been strong against her, which was quick enough and strong enough that, the death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. The appeal fur the release of Mrs. Maybrick did not end with the efforts of the first two nr three years after her life sentence began, but was continuous. II met with little success, however, until Mr.

Choate was nude ulled States ambassador In England, when he took up the light in her he-half immediately upon his arrival In London, tnd In March last the flrlllsh Home Office made the first definite announcement that gave hope to those that hart been fighting ir Jusilce for hit American woman for so many years. In the early part of that nuillth It was suited that Mrs. Maybrick would hi' released In bin no certain date was given. The Bction would be one which Is usually taken In England In cases of life Imprisonment where the prisoner's conduct Is good. Mrs.

MHybrlek would have served fifteen ears In jail had she remained in the Woking Prison until next July. Her mother Uvea In Kouen. France, and has visited her daughter as often as the prison rules would permit. It believed that Mrs. Maybrick will rome to America and live In Louisiana.
