QUIET ALONG THE LINE.
The Two State Committees Preparing for
the Campaign.

The Two State Committees Preparing for
the Campaign.
Things were quiet at the headquarters
of the Democratic State Committee in
Taylor's Hotel this morning. Allan Nc
Dermott, chairman of the Committee is
in active charge Of them; but the cam
paign is so young as yet that he does not
find enough there to keep him busy.
Willard G. Fiske, the secretary of the
committee, is on hand, and Benjamin J.
Downer, who assisted him last fall, is
acting as his assistant.
Mr.. Downer said to me today that the
committee had not got actually at work
yet. No meetings have been arranged,
and the only thing that has been done so
far is the sending out of notices to the
newspapers and public men that the COM
mittee rooms are open for business and
for callers.
The Republican State Committee
wanted to locate in Taylor's Hotel, but
Proprietor De Revere doesn't sell General
Ramsay's cigars. and so the committees
headquarters are in the rooms formerly
occupied by the law firm of Bedle, Muir
held & McGill in the Fuller building. Ex-
Judge Seymour and Jim Young will be
in charge when the rooms shall be
opened. When / called there this morn
ing they were locked up.

THERE MAY Be THREE.
How Economy May Give Us
a Third New School.
PROBABLE SITES OF THE TWO.
One Will Be Between Schools Nos
2 and 8; the Other Between Nos.
II and IL, Probably Back of the
Hill.

The committee appointed by the Board
OF Education to confer with the Street
and Water Commissioners in reference to
the two new school houses which it has
been decided to have erected in the Fourth
and Fifth districts, will appear at the
next Mondays meeting of the last men
toned Board. The matter will be referred
to the Committee on Public BUILDINGS.
and that committee will Immediately act
in conjunction with the committees from
the Board Of Education and choose sites
LOT the proposed school buildings
a gentleman prominently identified
with the movement told me this morning
that no discussion as to the relative sites
had yet taken place, and no plans have
been agreed upon.
PROBABLE LOCATIONS.
lie Ventured an opinion, however, that
the new school house in the Fourth dis
trict would be located Somewhere be-
tween schools Nos. z and 8, either east or
west OF Summit avenue. In the Fifth
dlstr1ct the new school house would be
located somewhere between schools Nos.
IL and IL, probably back of the Hill.
There is now prevalent opinion among
the members of the Board of Education
who voted to reconsider Mr.. Moran's
amendment to Mr.. Dugan's resolution
providing for new school house in the
Fourth district (the amendment proyid-
ing also for the erection of building in
the vicinity of Wayne and Mercer streets,
out OF the $4,000 appropriation
for the new school in the
Fourth district), that Mr.. Moran
should have offered a separate resolution
providing for new building in the vicin-
1ty OF Wayne and Mercer streets out of
what moneys could be secured from the
appropriations for the erection of new
buildings for the Fourth and Fifth dis
tricts.
A PROBLEM IN ECONOMY.
The first resolution offered by Mr..
Dugan, providing for the erection of q
new building in the Fifth district, pro
vided that il should be paid for out of
$4,000 derived from the sale of liquor
licenses under the new charter
The second resolution providing for the
erection of new schoolhouse in the
Fourth district, provides that it shall be
paid for out of the 100000 which the
Board is allowed to borrow each year
for the erection of one school.
1t is thought that by economizing
slightly the amount left over from the
$4,000 appropriation for the Fourth dis
trict school, added to that left of the $780,
GOO liquor license money, from which the
Fifth districts new school is to be
erected, may be sufficient to erect a pri-
mary school building in the vicinity of
Wayne and Mercer streets, TO relieve the
overcrowded condition of Schools Nos. IL

DISAPPOINTED FORESTERs.

Their Picnic Failed Yesterday, but They
Will Make 1t Go Next Time.
The Foresters had gloomy time yes
terday. Their parade and picnic were
absolute failures, owing to the weather
and Louis Wendell, the proprietor of
Schuetzen Park.
1t was high noon when the different
Courts, headed by bands, reached
Schuetzen Park. 1t had been weary
tramp, and the men were soaked with
rain and bedraggled with mud.
The park looked anything but inviting,
but visions of flowing glasses of beer
flowed before the minds of the tired men,
and they rushed through the gates pell
NELL.
Ii things looked uninviting outside the
park they were great deal worse inside.
The bar was there; SO was the music
PLATFORM but the beer was not there and
the two bands of music that Proprietor
Louis Wendell had promised to furnish
failed to put in their appearance.
1t seems that the statement which
had been circulated, that Wendell had
paid the $500 claim against him, was a
lie made out of whole cloth, and that in
consequence the park was in the hands of
the Sheriff. To saw that the Foresters
were angry is rather a mild way of ex-
pressing their state of mind. But there
was nothing for them to do but to make
the best of it.
A few enterprising saloon keepers in
the neighborhood carted kegs of beer into
the grounds and made small fortunes.
The afternoon dragged and when night
came the picknickers expected to see the
park lit up, but the manager refused to
allow the gas jets to be lighted This
capped the climax and the few disgusted
people that were left in the park started
homeward
The Foresters are bound to hold their
picnic anyhow, if it takes until Christ
mas, and have decided on October Is as
the date. They talk of sueing Wendell
for danapps

General Ramsay Led His Army Badly at
Last Nights Primary.

primary last night for the election of dele
gates to the convention which will nomi-
nate candidates for the Board Of Free

friends as scheme to defeat him for re-
nomination
McDonough wes out in rubber coat
during the storm and hustled with his
friends till he had polled POI votes.
The Ramsay faction polled but 81. Gen
era1 Ramsay also appeared upon the
scene in rubber coat, but it
did not take him long to arrive at the
conclusion that it was McDonough's S
night out, and he gave up the fight early
in the evening
Mr.. McDonough says that Ramsay has
made bet with prominent Democratic
politician that he (McDonough) would not
be elected; that he had called the primary
on short notice, and had it printed in the
columns of local paper in position
where few readers would be apt to OBJ
serve it.
The Young Mems Democratic Club of
the Fifth district met at the club room
last night and completed it's organization.
The officers elected are:-Mervyn Arm
strong, president; John McKiernan, vice
presidents Joseph McAdoo, secretary;

DEUTSCHLAND AND DENMARK.
| The Fresh Young Kaiser Kicking Over
His Sisters Good Match.
BIZ Gable to the United Press

LONDON, Sept. 26, 1ss9:-The alleged re-
luctance Of the German Emperor TO give
his august approval to the marriage of his
sister with the Crown Prince of Denmark
is merely assumed for effect.
Protestant Princes are not so plenty
on the continent that there are many
sprigs of royalty eligible for the hand of
the Princess Margaret.
The condescending terms in which the
German official press speak of the con-
templated alliance are sufficiently anus
ing in view of the desirable position held
by the northern power, which, if the mar
riage takes place, may be in future consid-
cred as virtually, if not openly, bound to
the destinies of Germany.
AS a maritime power producing q
famous race of sailors, and covering
practically the few German seaports,
Denmark will be able to prove herself no
despicable friend in the hour Of need.
1t may be easily believed that the Gar
is furious at the project, and in view Of
the ties which bind the Danish royal FAM
lily to him, it will hardly be wise for the
arrogant German monarch to display
any real or pretended dislike to the
match too openly.

WOULDN'T CARRY THE BALLOT BOX.
And So, 1t Is Said, Some Election Officers
Have Won Indictments.


Have Won Indictments.
Last spring W. S. Weed, w. C. Hutton,
Thomas Nelson and Isaac NJ Clark were
the election officers of the Sixth precinct
of the First district When the vote was
canvassed Nelson said he was too i'll to
help carry the ballot box to the City Hall
as the law directs the inspectors to do.
Hutton refused positively to do it and
then Weed, who was judge, and Clark,
the clerk, declared that they had no right
TO touch the box; that only Nelson and
Hutton, the inspectors, could do it,
None would take the box and word was
sent to that effect to Police Captain Nc
Kaig, who directed the two policemen on
duty at the polls to carry the box to City
Clerk Scott. This was done. The last
Grand Jury Investigated the case, but
failed to make a presentment. Yesterday
the present Grand Jury had the matter
before them and it was rumored that
Hutton and Nelson were indicted This
rumor was not confirmed.

MIR. CRE0HTON's NARROW ESCAPE.
A Knock at the Door Apprised Him of
a Great Danger.

Frederick Crechton had narrow es-
cape from death by suffocation last night.
He lives at the Arlington Flats, and after
he retired he finished reading paper
in bed
About twelve o'clock the gentleman
who occupies the adjoining room came in
and Crechton asked him to turn out the
gas for him This was done.
An hotir later the landlady knocked at
the door, aroused him and told him the
room was full Of gas Crechton, when
thoroughly awakened, turned off the
gas and opened the windows.
A small clock is suspended by rib
bon from the key on the gas jet, and as
the key turns easily it is thought by Mr.
clock turned it. Had nobody disturbed
Mr.. Crechton's slumbers it is probable
that his awakening would not have oc-
