The © of sending an instructed delegation to us City pledged to support the Chicago ‘m and the renomination of William nings Bryan was agitated in the eariy pert of the campaign, but eventually the orris wing declared in favor of such in- structions, and the question to be settled became simply one of Norris and anti- Norris. The result of the primaries was a sWeeping victory for the Norris faction, which carried nineteen out of the twenty- stricts, and elected fifty-five out of six delegaies who will compose the convention tomorrow.

That there will be two democratic con- ventions held here tomorrow for the pur- pose of selecting six delegates to the na- tional democratic convention at Kanses City next July seems this afternoon to be very certain. Despite the fact that the returns from the primaries held last even- ing show the election by the Norris wing of the local democratic party of all but ten of the sixty-six delegates to the conven- tion to be held here tomorrow, the anti- Norris democrats assert that a majority of their candidates were legally elected. The anti-Norris men declare today that fraud was perpetrated in last evening's primaries; that there was unlimited ballot stuffing, and hundreds of negroes were voted as democrats throughout the District by the Norris people.

The charges of fraud and corruption which appear to be the unfailing accompa- niments to all primary elections in the Dis- trict, regardless of the party holding them, Were made last night and reiterated today. The anti-Norris people claimed that no less than nineteen districts had been carried by underhanded methods, while the Norris people charged fraud in the eighteenth dis- trict.

Westcott, allas Wm. Judd, a Philadelphian, was arrested this morning by Detectives Horne and Weedon for try- ing to pawn an alleged cheap watch at a value greater than its actual worth. Ths watch was stamped, “Warranted 14-karat gold. He was arrested at Burnstine’s Pawnshop, on Pennsylvania avenue near 43% street. It is alleged that he pawned a similar watch at the same place about three weeks ago for $20, which contained an in- scription to show that it had been pre- sented to Westcott by friends. When ke returned this morning and asked for a loan of $20 on the watch first mentioned the pawnbroker’s suspicions were aroused, and the arrest of the young man followed.

Westcott was arrested in this olty in June, 1890, it is stated, on a charge of rob- bing @ house where he rented a room and was given six months in jail. He ts now held a prisoner until the police can make a further investigation of the charge last brought against him. ——.__ Pleads Guilty. “Guillty,”” pleaded a colored woman named Mary Betters when arraigned before Judge Scott this morning on a charge of vagrancy. “Is she an old offender?” the judge in- quired. “No, sir,’ answered Policeman Payne. “She has been repeatedly intoxicated re- cently,” the officer added, “and yesterday I found her beastly drunk. She had a pint bottle of whisky.”” “Have you anything to say?” the judge asked the woman. “No, sir,” she replied; man sald will do." The penalty was $10 fine or thirty days on the farm. “what the police- eee For Robbing a Companion.

Advanced Age Renders His Recovery Improbable—A Native of Lou- doun County, Virginia. Maj. Ebenezer Burges Bell, conceded to be the nearest living relative of Gen. George Washington, is dying at the residence of Mrs. A. T. Leathers, 62314 4th street north- west, where he has made his home for many years past. Major Ball has been best known in Washington during late years as the proprietor of the cigar and to- bacco stand in the corridor of the pension office, he having been granted the privilege of conducting that busincss through a spe- cial order issued by the Secretary of the Interior. The oid gentleman, now in the eight; fourth year of his age, bears even in his emaciated condition a remarkable resem- blance to his distinguished kinsman, Wash- ington. In his robust days the likeness was said to be wonderful. His death is be- leved to be but a matter of hours, and it is not likely he will survive the night. Old age is claiming a victim for the grim reap- er. Mr. Ball has been growing gradually weaker for three weeks, and although he has a remarkable constitution, it is evident, will be unable to resist much longer. Major Ball is the grandson of Colonei Burges Ball, who was a cousin of Mary Ball, mother of George Washington. Col onel Burges Ball married Frances Wash: ington, a niece of General George Washing. ton, 80 it will be seen that his descendants are related to both sides of the family. Major Ba!l, who lies dying, was born at historic Ball's Bluff, near Leesburg, Lou- dour county, Va. He never married, and his nearest of kin is a cousin, Colonel Ball of Georgetown. ington since the early Disappointed in securing the position of custodian of the Washington monument, to which he aspired, Major Ball secured, through Mr. Binger Hermann, whom he had met while in Oregon, the privilege of ‘conducting the pension office cigar stand, Mr. Hermann having been successful in his plea to the Secretary of the Interior. ——_>__ Real Estate Transfers.

RABIT, A little woman out In Oswego, Ill., tells about her husband having“determined to see if he could not make her quit coffee drinking, which he be- Meved to be the cause of her constant neuralgia and general nervousness, brought home several packages of Postum Food Coffee which he had iscovered, by trying elsewhere, to be good. She says: ‘What in the world be brought home five packages for I could not understand; never- theless I quit coffee and started in on Postum Food Coffee. I did not have much faith in the change doing me any good, but was astonished to discover that my neuralgia left me almost at once, and the nervous troubles kept getting less and lesa. “Little daughter at that time had been 11 and could eat little or nothing. She was pale and thin. As soon as I discovered how Postum treated me I began to give ft to her. She liked it very much, and would drink it when she would take nothing else. She began to pick up rapidly and got plump and round and rosy. “I don't care whst sort of food there is in Postum so long as it treats me as it has. It ts plain enough the food contained in Postum Cof- ee 1s good, and that's all we want to know. I FINANCIAL. 3 Per Cent Margin ON New York Stocks. 2 Points on Wheat.
