A Feminine Forger.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 21.-Develop-
ments to-day indicate that three of the
banks of this city have lost SO, 900 through
notes presented by Miss Priscilla B. Nc
Clure of this city. who has always figured
in the best of society. The names used as
indorsers were her mother. Margaret Nc
Ciure, and her brother, William Mcclure OF
this city, and her cousin, Sherman Furtll
of BellfOnte, all of whom are the best of
security. They deny the indorsemen is.
The money was obtained in February Ia st,
at which time Miss Mcclure left the city.
The notes fell due a few days ago,
when the forgery was discovered. Miss
Mcclure is highly connected, and herself
and mother, the latter a widow, are in
good circumstances. She was one of the
leading young ladies of Pine Street church,
and was always looked upon as model of
modeSty and was very unassuming. 1t is
believed there is man interested in the
case.

that the committee of the same stamp did
III Minneapolis. What the committee most
wants at present is to bridge the chasm that
has rent the party asunder, and get their
men into solid phalanX in
order that they may make a
good showing on dress parade. 1t
is whispered about that they will work for
the nomination of j. a. REM for city treas
urer. and make strong endeavor TO defeat
the Democratic nominee if he should prove
to be George Refs. Mr.. REM. they claim,
would be the strongest candidate they could
run against Refs, as he would carry with
him large German following. If Refs is
not nominated then they will nominate an
American, who will carry with him full
party vote. Who they have in view is as
yet kept in the dark. The old Republican
equine is, from every indication, suffering
from being born too long ago and indiscre-
ton i'm feeding itself. and even the last of
the drivers seem to have no power to in
duct any enthusiasm into his sluggish
blood.

one year, will be held in Pfeifer's hall,
corner of Nabasha and Eighth street. to-
day. H. II. Fuller, chairman of the city
committee, will call the convention to
order and read the call, at 10 o'clock, after
which there will follow the usual routine
of conventions. For chairman. Judge
William Barrett has been suggested. There
has been little doubt expressed that George
ReiS. the present city treasurer, will re-
ceive the nomination for treasurer. A
large proportion of the ballots used
last night in the primaries bore,
in addition to the candidates
for aldermen, school directors and
delegates to the convention the name of
Mr.. Refs, and there was little or no talk at
any of the meetings of nature to indicate
any hostility to him. Over the associate
judgeship there has been little talk. and it
has been generally conceded that Judge
SchoOnmacker, who now holds the position
under appointment Of Gov. Hubbard, will
be elected. The delegates to the convention
number siXty-nine. Some districts will send
in contesting delegations.
The primaries last night were well at
tended, and in some of the districts there
was good deal of enthusiasm. There were
some surprises at the results of the alder
manic nominations. Among these were the
particularly light showing that was made
for Aid. Van Slyke in the first
district of the Fifth ward, Mr..
Kinney, who proved the successful
candidate, having an easy walk away The
friends of Aid. Van Slyke accounted for
this in the fact that so little work had been
done for him on their part. they supposing
that they had sure thing. Mr.. Kinney's
friends were at work carefully and went in
10 win. In the Sixth ward there was hot
contest, the winner, Mr., Bryant, having a
small majority. The friends of MI. Gies
said last night that the Gies delegates
would contest the seats of those elected last
night at the convention. In the Seventh
ward Mr.. Long, the present alderman, was
renominated without opposition. Pat Con-
ley had an easy victory over Aid. Cummings
in the First ward, and Dick O'Connor had
it all his own way in the Second, as did Aid.
Starkey in his district. In the third dis
trict of the Fourth ward there was one OF
the liveliest contests, Mr.. Keigher securing
the nomination over Mr.. Athey and Mr..
Normandin. The primaries and their re-
suits are given in detail below.

decided How To Act.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon, a small
portion of the Republican city committee
met in the office of the clerk of the supreme
court, at the capitol. They were seven.
and as this was quorum, they pulled
down the blinds. locked the doors and pro-
ceeded to business. They promptly made
General McLaren permanent chairman. Ad-
Iutant-General MacCarthy was asked how
things looked on the outside, and he said
therewas rustic noticed in the labor element
and he thought by little judicious Schem-
ing certain portion of it could be drawn
over to the Republican side of the house
General Manager Parker was present and
signihed that the colored voters could be
placed in line and would come their way if
properly handled. The question of calling
! convention was discussed for an hour and
half, and at last it was1decided that it
would be best to wait until after the Demo-
cratic convention to-day before they de-
cided and issued call, and with this con-
.lusion the body adjourned till Z o'clock
his evening.
When the key was turned in the lock
and the door thrown open, the faces of the
members OF the committee wore very
shrewd expression and they guarded them
selves Zealously against the impertinent
interrogatives of the reporters. They said
they had simply made Gen. McLaren
PERMANENT CHAIRMAN,
and when asked if it took them two hours
to consummate that important act, they
nodded their heads in silent chorus and
smiled much as though they had been feed
ing Oil perSimmon peel.
The query running through the minds of
the all-wool-and-a-yard-w Republicans
is, what is the committee wasting so much
time in secret sessions for?" and they pre-

past 40. He is a. very interest
ing talker. He hasmanaged to gather a
large amount of valuable information in his
long and active life, and has a happy epi-
gramatic way of putting it into words.
Douglass is getting ready for a trip to
Europe this summer. He feels now that
he is out of Office, and has enough of means
to last him the remainder of his life, he
may as well enjoy what few years are left
him. He is very well of financially, and
