Failing to Get Fat appointment. Patton
Deserts the Hastings and Joins tho
Quay Contingent.


Philadelphia. Aug. 2.-Councllman
Edward w. Patton, the Republican
leader In the Twenty-seventh ward has
written to Senator Quay as follows:
nave given OF late a good deal Of
consideration to the present political
situation In so far as It relates to your
contest for chairman Of the Republi-
can state committee. and have made It
my business to ascertain the sentiment
OF the Republicans OF my ward concern
ing the matter I am satisfied. after n
careful canvass. that fully seven-tenths
Of them are In favor of your election to
the office named. Having never run
counter to the wishes Of my consti-
tuents. ] take pleasure In assuring you
that. IL elected a delegate to the state
convention. will vote for you for state
chairman"
BY the desertion of Mr.. Patton the
Hastings forces may lose two delegates
In the state convention. az the Twenty
seventh ward leader can probably carry
his ward with him into the Quay ranks
The Hastings leaders claim. however.
that they can make a fight In the
Twenty-seventh that will make the
contest there not only doubtful, but
probably a victory for them. They say
Mr. Patton's change Of sentiment was
not brought about by any discovery Of
the wishes Of constituents. but because
he is disgruntled by his failure to secure
the place OF deputy real estate sheriff
left vacant by the resignation Of Frank
Willing Leach. and to which Sheriff
Clement appointed James s. Miles.

Flagler's testimony was the only In
eliminating evidence offered. Miss
Flagler strenuously denied having fired
the shots to injure any one. her sole
idea being TO frighten the youthful
depredators from the place.
The Jury reached verdict within a
short time after hearing the evidence.
Hut one ballot was taken. and with an
unanimous expression that the shots
were not fired with murderous or
harmful intent ana that Miss Flagler
could not be held responsible for the
unfortunate death of the little colored
boy.
The scene In front OF the police sta
tion during the inquest was somewhat
unusual, The crowd was large. and
composed principally of colored people.
though there were many well dressed
white people. some OF whom came In
vehicles and fingered about the neigh
borhood waiting for the verdict. Dis
satisfaction In looks and manner
rather than speech. was expressed by
the colored people In waiting when the
result OF the inquest was made known.
There Ia some talk Of bringing the mat
ter before the grand jury despite the

Washington, Aug. 2.-Treasury Off
cials were surprised this afternoon
Informed that demand had been made
on the sub-treasury at New York for a
considerable sum of gold for export.
The amount exceeds two millions, and
opens up another gap which the Nor
gan Belmont bond syndicate may feel
called upon to I'll. One million was
called for by the Bank Of Montreal and
upwards of Il million and a quarter by
the coffee importing houses. This with
drawal does not appear In the state
ment Issued today. as the treasury has
not been officially advised OF the trans
action. According t0 the official fig
ures issued at O'Clock this afternoon
the reserve stands at sl07, lis ,25l, a loss
since yesterday Of $llS,2JI.
Acting Secretary Curtis says the
withdrawal indicates nothing more
than desire on the part Of American
importers to pay their debts as they
fall due the export Of gold at this sea =
son being occasioned by the liquidation
or foreign accounts. The information
came to Assistant Secretary Curtis by
long distance telephone. The shipping
OF gold TO THE Montreal bank is not. the
secretary says, an unusual occurrence.
Ihat bank has large credits in New

thihks, on account of the demand for
settlement. Assistant Secretary Curtis
