Claiming that | this action cannot be legally taken, | Messrs. Grout and Fornes will appeal to | the courts for an order that their names must be printed on the official ballot in the Republican and Citizens’ Union col- umns. Their contention is that the func- tion of the delegates to the two conven- tions terminated with tne adjournment ot | the bodies to which they were chosen and | that they cannot be revived by the acts of committees, such as is proposed.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS RECOVERY OF A WATCH Lost Timepiece Finds Its Way Into the Office of Garden City’s Police Chief. SAN JOSE, Oct. 2.—There is a mystery at the police office that borders on the uncanny and Chief of Police Carroll and his entire force are trying to solve ft. Late Wednesday afternoon Dr. Mary J. Bearby reported to the office that she had lost a small open face watch with the monogram “M. J. B.” on it. Whether the watch had been stolen or mislald Dr. Bearby was unable to say. Chief Car- roll took a description of the watch and then detailed Detectives Prindeville and Pickering on the case. A few minutes after the detectives left Chief Carroll had occasion to open a small drawer in his desk, and to his surprise found the watch there. No one had been at the desk but Chief Carroll, and he had not been out of his seat after Dr. Bearby reported the loss. Dr. Bearby was sent for and iden- tified the watch as her property. No one knows how the watch got in the Chief’s desk and the entire office force is in a dazed condition trying to account for the strange occurrence. The owner of the watch is also puzzled, as she told no one of the loss of her timeplece and had only missed it a few minutes before she re- ported its loss to the police. —_—— Makes Damaging Admissions.

Grout and Fornes. It was the consensus of opinion that they should be dropped | from the ticket and that other Democrats | of the independent type should be selected ’ to fill their places. It was finally decided that the Citizens’ Union convention should | be reconvened on next Wednesday night | and that a new ticket should be placed my nomination with Mayor Lowe at the head, with Messrs. Grout and Fornes eliminated | and in their places two new men selected. An address was prepared and directed to | Messrs. Grout and Fornes, expressing the | complete dissatisfaction of the Citizens’ Union with the course pursued by them’ in accepting a Tammany indorsement and | declaring that, in view of the position as- sumed by lhem, they should eliminate themselves from the fusion ticket, Immediately after the city committee adjourned the executive committee went into executive session and had a long con- | ference regarding the candidates to be | presented on Wednesday night for the | offices of Comptroller and President of the Board of Aldermen. Among the names presented for the former position were John P. Kelly, president of the Eighth Ward Bank of Brooklyn; Joseph C. Hendrix and Julian D, Fairchild. For the position of President of the Board of Aldermen but one name was discussed, and that was Herman Metz of Kings, CORSETS AND JEWELRY CONDEMNED AS BARBAROUS Women’s Congress at Hamburg De- bates Subject of Dress, but Takes no Vote. HAMBURG, Oct. 2.—The Women's Con- gress at its session here to-day debated the propriety of wearing corsets and Jew- elry. Both practices, according to pre- valling opinion, were barbarous, but no vote on the subject was taken. The con- gress cheered the statement that women vote In five States of the American Union. _———— -Murderer Robs His Victim. SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2.—Coroner Morgan returned to-day from the desert, where he went to conduct an inquest in the case of Frank Roberts, who was murdered near Brawley a week ago last night. Rob- erts was shot from behind while he was going from his house. The murderer took Roberts’ watch and what money he had on his person, but did not search the cabin, for Roberts’ revolver and gun were found there and about $37. Roberts was in a cattle feud in Montana and threats had been made against him, but there is no way of connecting the case with the killing. ————— Refuses to Annul Divorce Decree, PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 2—A special to the Oregonlan ' from Olympia, Wash., says: The efforts of Mrs. Blanche C.

PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 2—All day yes-| terday the big German ship Nauarchos | lay grounded on the bar at the.mouth of With -three steam- | the Willamette River. boatg hooked to her she was finally moved from her precarious position, and left for | | the sea again this morning in tow of the | | Ocklahama. As no pilot was aboard it is | generally believed on the water front that | she will experience more trouble before the Columbia bar is reached. Captain Arfmand, master of the vessel, | stated before leaving here that it was an unnecessary expense to employ a pilot to accompany him, but it is very probable that he has now changed his mind. The ! vessel is wheat-laden, but she was only drawing 22% feet of water. A day pre- ceding her the steamship Indrapura sailed for the mouth of the river drawing twen- ty-three feet, and she experienced no trouble with bars or anything else. That is cited as an argument by shipping men why the Nauarchos should have got along without getting stuck on the river bot- tom. If the current is followed, they state that there is plenty of water to an- swer all requirements, but in order to keep in the proper course it is averred an experienced man must be at the helm. —_———— Arrival of the Papal Delegate.
