CENTRE DISTRICT.
The Principal Fight was for tho Position OF
Committeeman.

The BrtnClp1i mt was Tor inc tOsitiOn or
Committeeman.
A. the Hook and Ladder house, the
contest for Committeeman from Centre
was all absorbing, and the more inn
portant contests were at times lost
sight of in the earnestness with which
this war was wagsd. Notwithstanding
The newspaper publications concerning
the row in this district, there were yo-
terS who could not understand why Mr..
Ernest r. MetZner was soliciting votes
when his name did not appear upon the
ticket This very fact. however, prob
ably gave him many votes he would not
otherwise have received. as there was
an impression among great number
of voters that he had not been fairly
dealt with by the Ohio county ring.
Mr.. Metzner was on hand early with
his pockets bullying out with tickets,
upon which the name OF James X. Hall
was scratched, and Metzner's name
written in with ink. He had half a
dozen warm friends who did all kinds
of hustling for him, and it was apparent
early in the game that he would give
the ring a hot battle Mr.. Hall was
also on hand and Editor c. 3. Hart
came down in the afternoon. and stood
about the polls for a full hour. lending
the influence of his presence for the ring
candidate Mr.. Halls friends COM
planned early that Metzner was making
inroadS because of their inability to
talk German. MetZner and his work
ers put German bugs into several scores
of ears and after that it was all off.
so far as Halls chances were concern
ed. Here was a factor which the ring
apparently overlooked. Fatal over
sight,
The efforts of the rival candidate for
Committeeman to appear friendly were
exceedingly painful Mr.. Halls coun-
tenance gradually heightened as the
day wore on, but he smole a sweet and
sad smile occasionally, as ne reflected
that in certain contingency he will
sill retain the chairman ship of the
county committee, with ADJ the dicta-
torial influence thereunto attached.
There were lots OF vest pocket tickets,
but when the workers got through, few
CT ;hCm were deposited.

Everything Quiet at Film Grove, Also at
Eearherwood.
Those who predicted trouble at Elm
Grove. the scene of some exciting politi-
cal complications recently, were disap-
pointed. There was big crowd about
the polls, and large number of negroes
were among the workers. The miners
were brought out early and voted quiet
ly. About $50 votes were polled at six
o'clock. At Leatherwood, the election
also passed off very quietly. 1t was re-
ported that, for some unaccountable
reason, it was an hour and half late
when the polls were opened at Leath-

House Banking Committee.

The House committee on banking and
currency brought its work to a climax yes
terday by adopting a resolution to take
definite action as speedily as possible upon
all bills and propositions before 1t, and to
hold two meetings a week until fits work
is completed. Mr.. Walker of Messachu-
sets. the chairman. predicts that the re-
suit Of that decision will be the reporting
Of general banking bill to the House, and
he hopes that his own plan will be the one
agreed upon. He says that the failure of
the Senate to adopt the House revenue bill
makes it imperative that some measure be
passed by this Congress to relieve the finan-
cial situation.
Other members Of the committee predict
that nothing can come of its labors but a
definite decision that its members are un-
able to agree upon any general banking
bill, because the greatest diversity of opin-
ion exists among them on all financial
propositions. One Of the plans proposed
yesterday was a resolution by Mr.. Brosius
of Pennsylvania that the committee finish
its work April 6. and vote on all bills before
1t on that day. to relieve business circles
Of all uncertainty, but the resolution failed.

UnwelcOme Information Given q
Young Woman.
There was a much surprised woman in
this city today, and the surprise was a
painful one The young woman called at
about her husband.
II want to find him." she said to Inspec-
tor Hollinberger "for he deserted me dur
ing the past two weeks, and do not know
where he Isl
When she handed the inspector a photo
graph Of the missing husband the inspector
smiled. This seemed to offend her, and she
asked the reason why he had smiled at the
sight of the face of her beloved one.
Because he's one of the worst hotel
beats in the country" said the inspector
Impossible" said the wife, who was star
tied at hearing this statement. Hes my
husband"
therefrom a picture which dispelled any
doubt the wife may have had. He also
showed her letter from the mans wife in
Chicago, received only about two months
ago, in which she made inquiries about him.
This information vas very shocking to
the young Lady, who had received entirely
too much information about the man whom
she supposed was her lawfully welded hus-
band but even now she does not want her
parents to know the worst.
Her home is in Alabama, and there she
was married last December. She has been
in the newspaper business in Alabama, and
is said to own considerable property. This
Inspector Hollinberger thinks is the reason
he married her, but her wealth being in
real estate prevented his getting it.
The man was in this city in November
and left about the time he was located for
the Chicago authorities. He left a hotel bill
behind but so far as the police know he 10

Gated. that the enemies Of the party should

die let them be organized and withdraw,
issue an address to the country declaring
themselves to be the national democratic
