Fishing for n Cigar Stump,

Nothing ever came upon me with
greater surprise than q little incident
which ! witnessed in the Southern hotel
rotunda during the convention l was
sitting with friend near the billiard end
of the rotunda, when my attention was
drawn to the actions of well dressed
man Of about 80 years. He was neatly
clad In light suit, wore stove pipe
hat and carried cane. He entered.
walked past o certain place several times,
and at last stopped and glanced about
him In suspicious way. as If to ascer-
tain whether he was observed Then he
quickly looked at the floor and we saw
him push with his foot a cigar stump that
was quite long. Again he glanced about
him, moved to the stump and again
pushed it toward chair. He confined
this action until the cigar was under the
chair. Then he very complacently took q
seat. dropped his little cane. reached
down and the cigar was his. He brushed
1t while glancing around to see If he had
been observed. and. not noticing any eyes
fixed upon him. arose with great dignity
and leisurely walked to the cigar stand
and lighted the stump.
My friend nor had said word during
this performance. but as the man saun-
tered off we looked ut each other in as
tonishment. The trick had been so artis-
tically performed that no comedian on the
stage could initiate it. / had never ex-
pected to find q "sniper" in such a'well
dressed man, having always supposed that
only boys and tramps resorted to picking
snipes for a smoke. But gentleman to
whom told this incident said that it Is
not uncommon to see such an action in
hotel. where the cigars smoked are usually
good and the smokers throw them away
before they are too small to tempt
stingy man or broken sport.-"F. N. T."

Ex-Governor Porter Will Not Accept

Ex-Governor Porter Will Not Accept.
While Ex-Governor Porter has been solicited
10 reconsider his determination not to be q can
didate for the eubernatorial nomination, he has
at the Same time. without desiring to COM
NIT himself TO any other course than that
which he has hitherto announced, appreciated
these expressions Of zeal from his friends
throughout the State. L.tterly his relaiionc>
to the canvass for the eubernatorial position has
been that Of an IN willing looker-on and in no
sense, he says, o seeker for the place, but the
frequent letters urging him to change his mind
led him 70 decide that if it was the unanimous
choice OF the party for him to head the State
ticket he would forego his decided disinclination
to make the race and accept the nomination.
However, the fact that other gentlemen havs
long since entered the race for the position
whom he did not wish to antagonize held him
to the decision that be made public in the con-
was the condition in which he was
placed until letter a to him
from Henry L. johnson, of Richmond,
q day or to ago. While Mr.. johnson urged him
to accept the nomination he asked for a declara-
ton of what his friends might expect. As this
was the only letter Of inquiry be had received
on that point the ex- Governor took two or three
days to consider the matter, and last
night decided that under no cir
cumstsnces would he accept the nomination.
In his reply to Mr.. johnson he recited the fact
that last December be had declared he would
not be a candidate for Governor and would
leave a clear field to all aspirants to the place.
In justice to them he could not allow his
name to DO considered. He was not
unmindful OF tbs high esteem and good
feeling expressed for him in ell parts Of Indi-
ana. and in keeping with that he would. 10 the
coming campaign, heartily support whomsoever
Is nominated, and do all that he can In securing
tbs success of the national and State tickets. In
talking over his decision last night the ex-Gov-
ernor expressed the kindest feeling and regard for
every gentleman who had been mentioned as
a candidate for Governor.

Ira j. Chase for Governor.

Ira J. Chase was q private soldier. He lived
South when the war broke OUT and he came
North and went into the army and fought for
the principles that the Republican party is try
ing to hold up to-day. 1 believe that Chase
would have as much influence as any other gen.
tleman that could be nominated for Governor.
and would have more than a person that was not
IN the army. We will have to ger right down to
hard work and stick right to 1t until the polls are
closed with anybody az the head Of the ticket. l

CHICAGO. July 2s.-There was . good deal Of
excitement around the Armory police court
this morning over the report shat Frank Chepsk
and Frank Chleboun had forfeited their bonds
and left the country. The cases against Chepsk,
Chleboun and John Hronek were continued by
Justice Lyon, on the day after their arrest. IN
til to-day, under bonds of $1,000 each. When
the cases were called. this morning, Inspector
Bonfsld stepped forward, a. did the attorney
who represented Chspak. A deputy sheriff
was present with capaises in his pocket for the
arrest OF the defendants on the Indictments
returned by the grand jury. The attorney
seemed much worried at the non-appearance of
his clients. and asked for o few moments' time.
The time was granted. but the lawyer returned
without his clients. and the Justice declared the
bail forfeited in the cases Of Chleboun and
Chepak. with leave TO r~einststs within forty
eight hours. In the case OF Hronek. Who had
not furnished bonds. Inspector Bonfeld said
that he would ask TO have the case dismissed. as
the defendant vas locked up in jail. This WAS
done. Late this afternoon Chspak was surreu-
dered by his bondsmen and locked up in the
Jail. They regarded the amount Of his bail,
SIS. 900, as too much. 1t is understood that
Chlsboun is in the hands of the police at a sub
station.
