Hewitt Not Yet Accepted.
NEW YoRK, October 14th-A. Mt is
thought probable that Hewitt will accept
the united Democratic nomination for
Mayor, but be is not expected to give a
definite answer before tomorrow. The
County Democratic Convention, which
meets this evening, will indorse the Tam
many nomination. The nearest friends OF
Mr.. Hewitt say he will not decline, al
though he has grave misgivings on the
score of health He is fearful that he will
break down under the load of responsible
ity attaching to the Office, and the newt
able jealousies that will arise over appoint
ments.
WHAT DANA SAYS.
New YORK, October 14th-A. M The
SEQ, says: "The most interesting political
news of yesterday was that John D. Lam
son will propose to the Republican County
Convention tomorrow that the Repub-
licans indorse the nomination of Abram
S. Hewitt for Mayor. His avowed reason
for this is in view of the natural Demo-
cratic majority in the city, the exceedingly
great popularity of Hewitt, his national
reputation, and the absence of intense
partisanship in his record. It would be
idle for the Republicans to put a candidate
in nomination against him. The truth is,
the Republicans are having hard time to
find candidate to run against Hewitt"
Equal to Ferdinand Ward.
BosroN, October 14th A. NJ. Mrs.
Hawes, of the famous Woman's Bank, is
in full operation again in this city Since
she finished serving her term N the House
of Correction, about year ago, she has
West Concord street. Most of her
old and many new customers have
come to her. Six years ago Mrs. Hawes
received cash deposits from women
only, and paid eight per cent. per month
interest in advance. Her plan was simply
that the receipts from new depositors,
which increased very fast in numbers, fur
nished funds to pay the high interest.
There was no publicity, and no man was
allowed in the house where the business
was conducted. The affair was broken up
by the newspapers, through female re-
porters, and Mrs. Hawes was sent to the
House of Correction for swindling. She is
at her old tricks.
