out and married her off to Mark Weber.

How in the world did she come to do
such cheeky thing as be named Linda
Marmont?" Lester asked the question
with deep resentment. The old lady's
dark eyes twinkled as she looked at him
shrewdly.

The *. of T.. Opens the German RIt-
unI Matter

Cleveland. O.. Aug. 29-The opening
gun in the German Ritual controversy
was fired at the meeting OF the supreme
lodge this morning by the committee
appointed TO consider the charges against
certain chancellors of the knights OF
Pythias.
The committee reported that the full
text of the report made by the past SUI
preme chancellor be adopted. The report
provides that all charges OF disloyalty
to the order made against Past Grand
Chancellor G. Il. LAehrm OF Virginia be
dismissed; that Past Grand Chancellor
Buchanan Of Illinois be personally repri-
manded by Supreme Chancellor Col
grove or some officer designated by him.
and that Past Grand Chancellor Henry
Nellenfoss OF Kentucky. by special reso-
luton, be forced to forfeit all hopors as
past supreme representative and past
grand chancellor, his name stricken from
the roster Of the order and the grand
lodge Of Kentucky be notified to take such
action.
It was further recommended that in
view of Nelenfoss' gross violation of Py-
THAN laws and persistent disloyalty. the
grand lodge Of Kentucky should take
such action as will secure similar results
touching his honor as past grand chan
cellor, besides debarring him for ten
years from the right Of enjoying his Py-
THAN honOrs.
The report was referred.
At the meeting this afternoon, the su-
preme lodge OF the Knights OF Pythias
put a quletus forever on the much dis
cussed question OF reviving the German
ritual The matter came UP for final
vote in the evening, and the resolution
TO print the ritual IN German for lodges
that wanted It in that language, was de-
feated by a vote of 1O2 TO 113 The COM

under half sail was sighted In St. simons
sound this morning. The Inca. her sister
boat, made for her tied alongside, and
the two drifted considerably during a con-
versation between the crews. Tho Inca
cut loose and came past quarantine,
where she was hailed by Surgeon Bur-
ford. who boarded her and requested a re-
turn to the Dauntless Arriving there the
Dauntfess was placed under quarantine,
and brought to the docks, the Inca being
also held for having communication With
her.
The Dauntless is held because Of a sus-
piclon that she has been in foreign wat
ers and both vessels will be disinfected
and detained five days.

Permission was courteously refused
your correspondent to speak either ves-
sci from a rowboat, owing, as explained
by Surgeon BurfOrd to quarantine rules
At the custom house, no information
was given out. Commissioner Lehman
stated that Collector Lamb and himself

tions from the department
Managing Owner John r. duBignon stat

NOW LOOKING ron A LEADER.
National Democrats May Take Villas
and Buckner.


Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 29-Complica-
tions have arisen which make the outlook
for presidential nominee on the gold
democratic ticket appear IN a most inter
esting light, and it now seems that there
will be quite contest in the convention
next week.
Some of the most distinguished and in
fiuential democrats in the country are said
to be very earnest in their efforts to nom
mate Senator Villas of Wisconsin. But
Wisconsin has indorsed Gen. Bragg. This,
however, it has been learned, was due to
the efforts of Senator Villas himself, who
has remained in the background to a
large extent all through this contest.
Henry Watterson has peen indorsed by
Michigan and Nebraska, but his own state
has spoken plainly in favor Of Gen. Buck
ner for the second place on the ticket.
Missouri has indorsed Broadhead, though
that is said to have been a mere personal
compliment. New York seems to be lean
ing toward Watterson. 1t Is believed that
Indiana will support Villas. In the event
that Villas is nominated Gen. Buckner will
be the vice presidential nominee, so that
it now appears almost certain that the
slogan of the gold democracy in the cam
paign will be villas and Buckner."
National headquarters are hourly re-
ceiving the credentials of delegates. Re-
ports to the effect that a large number
of them will not be here, but will be repre-
sented by proxies, are emphatically de-
MED by the officials at headquarters.
The national committee will meet at TO
o'clock Tuesday at the Grand hotel. The
executive committee will meet Monday az
the same place.

MAssACHUsETT's MILLS.

They May Continue the shut Down
Longer II Trade Does Not Improve.
Fall River. Mass. Aug. 29.-Tonight, the
various mills in the city are free from the
provisions Of the curtailment agreement.
Some of the mills have stopped for a
longer time than the agreement called for.
but this voluntary extension of the shut
down feature was due to the weak mar
ket, the rise in cotton and the high rate
of interest.
That the curtalment will continue
seems assured The American linen, Ana
wan, Fall River mandatory Robeson,
Wampanoag, Metacomet, Merchants,
Weetamoa and Poeaset will not start up
next week and these mills produce some
thing like 5000 pieces.

whether half dozen other mills. pro-
ducing $1,000 pieces. will start. The Cor
nell will run two weeks, and IL trade does
not show any Improvement, viii then

nominee for governor, and Oliver II. Dock
cry, the nominee for lieutenant governor,

Mr. Dockery would take. He was life
long republican, and was minister TO Bra
I'll under President Harrison. He was
beaten for the republican nomination for
governor in July. The populists nom.na-
ted him for lieutenant governor in order
to divide the republican vote, and TWO
days later the republicans endorsed him.
They expected that to-day he would
stand by his old party, but he declared
against it and Mckinley, and took posi-
tion for Bryan and Watson and dehed
the republicans, saying that although
they might keep him on their ticket, X
would be a late day before he accepted
