Columbia Fire Company in Need of a Horse—Sprinkling Machine a Source of Joy. Evening Star Bureau, 20 King street, ‘elephone, No. 106. SDRIA, Va., August 7, 1897. It has beer suggested, and the idea is considered a good ore, that a system of making the officers of the police force on duty at night “turn in” a report to head- quarters at stated periods. For this ser- vice, telephones in the different beats could be used, ard the station keeper could keep a record of the movements of the men, aad they would not be tempted to go to sleep while on duty. If the system suggested were to be put in force the returns would be made from the Baltimore and Ohio depot in the firgt ward, the W. and O. depot in the second ward, Portner’s brewery in the second for the third ward, and the southern depot for the fourth ward. Access can be had to all of these "phones during all hours of the night, and permission, it is said, would readily be granted for their use. As it is now it is a Cifficult matter for a man on duty on one end of the beat to hear the whistle of the inspector blown on the opposite end of the beat. Under the direction of Mayor George L. Simpsor the police force ts becoming more and more efficient every day. The officers in charge are more active in their move- ments, and everything is working smoothly. Knocked From His Wheel.

Some weeks ago one of the hors2s died from lock jaw.

The street sprinkling machine was again in use on King street this morning while the street cleaning gang was at work, and the great benefit was felt by the mer- chants and others along that thoroughfare. Cigarettes Go Up. Owing to the increased revenue on cigar- ettes, and the consequent increase of the Wholesale price, the Alexandria retail déaiers have decided to advance the var of cigarettes to eight cents péf pack, be- gipning Monday.

Prices were moderate, and the housewives seemed busy laying in their supplies. Police Court.

Complaint has been made to th tary of the Treasury by Repres Lewis cf Washington against the allege: action of the customs in fixing ar exorbitant rate o! duty on goods of every description carried Special Correspondonce of Th» Evening BALTIMORE, August The report that Senator Gorman has practically admitted his intention of with- drawing from politics, and that he will shortly announce his determination of so doing, is the dominant topic in local politi- eal circles, and while few democrats or republicans believe that he has any serious intention of retiring to private life, the rumor has set all manner of speculation adrift and more developments are iooked for. Those who are opvosed to Mr. Gorman unite in declaring this agitation to be mere- ly another illustration of the senator's scheming nature. It is a fecler, they say, an effort to reach the popular pulse, and they recall the action of Senator William Pinckney Whyte, in 1881, who tried the same tactics and thereby lost a re-election. Those who believe that the senator may foliow this up with an announcement that he is “not a candidate,” believe also that his self-abnegation will be cnly temporary, and will be concluded as soon as it is shown, if it should be, that the democrats will control the next general assembly. In fact, Mr. Gorman is incapable of making a statement so positive as to induce these men to believe that he is sincere. The almost invariable expression among democrats—even among those who have and will at all times vote the regular tick- et—in regard to this rumor is, “If it were only true!” They feel that with Gorman Secre: by way of Alaska.

Since the meeting of the democratic state convention the regulars have been decided- ly encouraged at the outlook, and many of them believe they have more than a fight- ing thance of winning the election. De- spite the fact that the financial plank has been denounced and derided in the inde- pendent press, it is a significant fact that few democrats of prominence, even among those who have opposed the regular ticket at the past two elections, have expressed dissatisfaction with it.

The democratic leaders declare that par- ticular care will be used in the selection of candidates to the general assembly. It is brobable that General Lloyd L. Jackson, Mr. Jchn E.

Confidence of Republicans. The republicans are beginning to scout the claims the independents make to hav- ing the balance of power, and say that the two past victories over Gorman are due, not to the defection of the reformers from the regular democracy, but to republican voters. who have heretofore stayed away from the polls, but who will hereafter keep Maryland in line with the reliable republi- can states. e It is now decided that the republican pri- maries in Baltimore city will be held Mon- day, August 23, three days before the state convention, which is to be held at Ocean City August 26. It is probable that but one primary will be held, when delegates will be elected not only tu the state convention, but also to the city and legislative district conventions. All indications point to the election of delegates favorable to the nom- ination of Mr. William T. Malster for may- or of Baltimore, and to the selection of new state and city committees, which will be controlled by those who are favorable to his candidacy. “ The fact that the independent press has signified its intention of supporting him has greatly augmented his strength, and it is difficult to see how the party organiza- tion can prevent his success. The machine is doing all in its power to give Mr. Theodore Marburg’s boom some semblance of vitality, and Governor Lown- des has placed at its disposal the resources of the state administration. The word has been passed down the line to the police magistrates, the coroners and others at the beck and call of the governor, and they are willing to assert their belief that Marburg is the man, but this indorsement of the young millionaire has a very artificial ring, when compared to the enthusiastic popular support of Mr. Malster. Mayor Hooper's Friendship. In addition to the backing of the police board, which assures him of fair treat- ment at the primaries, Mr. Malster has an active supporter in Mayor Hooper, who is displaying surprising vigor in strengthen- EXPERTNESS —will save you money in moving, packing or shipping furniture, china, ete. very low rates.
