The convention in the First ward was
a lively one, and excitement ran high
during the balloting for justice, which
resulted ultimately in the nomination
of f. NJ. Timer after Justice Sells, the
present incumbent, had started in a
long way in the lead. While there
was much excitement in the balloting
it was confined to a spirited rivalry be-
tween the friends of the various can
didates. and did not at any time par
take of the nature of a dissension.
George Buckle was selected chair
man, and Harry Lyle secretary. The
report of the credentials committee,
which was adopted showed sixty-siX
votes in the convention, fifty-nine del
egates and seven proxies.
When nominations were reached, the
names of Eber Case, w. NJ. Risler,
Mort G. Taylor, W. H. Sells. F. NJ.
Ulmer and E. E. Shepard We're placed
before the convention. The first bali
lot resulted, Sells so, Risler 8, Taylor
4, Timer 13, Shepard and Case IA.
During subsequent ballots Justice Sells
supporters deserted him when it be-
came evident he could not be nomin
ated, and one after another of the can
didates drew out till on the sixth bal
lot only Ulmer and Case were in the
race. On that ballot they stood tie,
and on the next Ulnler was nominated,
receiving 30 votes to Cases 81.
There were but two candidates for
constable, Soloman Crown, the pres
ent incumbent, and Mr.. Hurd. Crown
was nominated on the first ballot, get
ting 45 votes to Hurd's 81.
A motion was made to go into eau
Gus and choose the. ward representa-
tives for the committees in the county
convention, which was voted down and
the convention adjourned.

MANUEL MoNTERO ARRESTED ON A
SERIOUS CHARGE.
Stole Eight Hundred Dollars From
Richard Rogers, a Park City Miner
-COnfesscs to His Crime.

Manuel Montero. a young man from
sunny Italy, was arrested by Detective
Sheets and Janney yesterday after
noon for the larceny of about $500 from
Richard Rogers. Park City miner.
Montero some three months ago
came to this city from Pocatello He
represented himself to be a nurse and
was given employment at the Holy
Cross hospital About two weeks ago
Rogers came down from Park City
and proceeded to acquire a jag with
the result that he landed in the city
bug-house. Whether it was the lag or
other causes that worked upon the
Park City man may not be known, but
the fact was that after getting out of
the bastile he was Laken sick and
friends transported him to the Sisters
hospital. Rogers when arrested, had
$40 in hard-earned cash in his pockets
and the greater portion of this he took
with him to the hospital. Moatero, who
was nursing him every day, learned
that his patient had money and about
a week ago the opportune time came.
He could not resist the temptation and
the $500 went into Montero's pockets
The loss was reported to the police
and the detectives put on the trail
with the result that the arrest was
made yesterday. Montero, when con-
fronted with the evidence, confessed to
taking the money and a good term in
the penitentiary is staring him in the
face.
a reporter. through the courtesy of
Jailor Cannon, was admitted to the
Jail last evening. Montero was reclin-
ing on a cot.
I'm all broke up" he said, and then
in answer to a query went on, Yes, L
confessed to taking the money. But,
say. are you q reporter"
Upon being informed in the affirma-
tive. he refused TO talk any further,
saying it would all come out at the
trial

the match, had not put up a dollar.
Il received a letter from them dated
Sept. p. in which they stated they
would deposit 5000 half the amount OF
the purse. and they desired Sharkey and
myself to post S1.600 each as a guarantee
that we would be on hand on the night

ties in whose hands the money was to be

II am through with Sharkey for the
present. am going to fight Fitzsimmons
and lick him. too, and then. if Sharkey
is anxious for d fight 1 will give him
one. but it must be to a finish.
When asked what were the prospects
for bringing off his proposed fight with
F'itzsimmons, Corbett answered as fol-
lows:
Il acknowledge that. as yet, I have not
signed articles or posted a cent to bind
the match, but 1 am ready whenever Fitz.

better account of himself than he had
done thus far BY hard driving he sent
Freddie to the company of Malcolm
and Billy D. around the turn, but they
pulled away from him on the back
stretch and a break caused him to fall
back with Dick Kitchen, who was even
at the time he went up, oYertaking
him. Then fos the length of the stretch
it was pretty sight, the four horses
going in pairs and so evenly that bu1
Tor the distance between the two
couples, one could easily have imag

Just before teaching the upper turn
Freddie r. went up again and Kitchen
pulled away from him. Kitchen never
Showed himself as he did the rest of
the heat. He paced like a whirlwind,
and gained till he was the closest
kind of third as Malcolm and Billy
d. shot under the wire, making the
first half in ITO. Kitchen continued
to keep company with Malcolm and
Billy D., and the spectators who We're
by this time shouting with enthusi-
asm, began to think he was going 10
outfoot the speedy pair while Freddie
r. was coming two lengths behind.
Down the back stretch the same po-
sitions were maintained-Billy D. and
Malcolm keeping side by side, and
neither showing any signs of weaken
ing, and Kitchen croWding them closely
until the upper turn was reached. Then
Malcolm appeared to be laboring and
Billy d. began to creep away from
him. BY the time the turn was rounded
Billy D. was far enough ahead to en-
able Jensen to pull in and take the
pole. when they turned into the stretch.
Malcolm had another link left, how
ever, and Spicer knew how to let it out
He sent the little brown down the
stretch at a tremendous gait, which it
seemed would have won him the heat

a close third, with Freddie r. three
lengths behind. It was magnificent
heat, as indeed was the whole race, and
was well calculated to arouse the en-
thusiasm it did.

Stocks in the early dealings were
weak and lower, the active issues
showing a reaction Of 1@1A per cent
in the first half hour. The weakness
of the market was due in a great meas
ure to the further decline of LON per
pound in refined sugar, although the
lower cables from London were not
without influence in certain quarters.
Sugar. Manhattan, the grangers and
Leather preferred were particularly
weak spots at this time. The down.
ward tendency in the market was
checked before midday, by a sudden
and unexpected weakening in the ster-
ling exchanges. Posted rates were re-
duced a full cent to 4.S215@4.S5. The
break in this market was the result
of the completion OF. the remittances on
account of October interest, and a
material increase in the supply Of
grain and other acceptances.
Reports of a further slight rise in
the price of gold bars in the open mar
ket in London, and the fact that the
bullion dealers received quite a num-

well as for sixty day options, were ig-
nored by stock operators.
The weakness of the sterling ex-
change, according to the bulls, Will
more than offset these developments,
and they, furthermore. were predict

Fifth Precinct.

Fifth precinct Republicans acted just
as though they were holding a real con
vention in the deliberations, which re-
suited in the selection of George G.
Armstrong for the office of justice of
the peace and Thomas Hutchinson for
constable.
The doors of the vacant store room
where the delegates assembled were not
open when the main portion of the I'M
terrified assembled, but a bold member
succeeded in effecting an entrance and
the crowd poured in. There being no
chairs, the delegates stood. Bernard
Springer, who was a candidate for the
second place on the ticket, sought to
win votes by procuring a lamp, which
was all the light which shone in on the
benighted visions of the miniature null
titude, but even that didn't win.
w. P. O'Meara opened the proceed
ings by placing in nomination Daniel
H. Wenger for the position of chair
man, which suggestion was agreed to,
the delegates being in unusually good
humor H. P. G. Coates was elected TO
do the coarse handwriting on motion
of the same person, who appeared to be
running the works.
It was decided not to have any COM
mibtee on credentials, but to call the list
of delegates, as published in the pa
pers, and make corrections as the read
ing progressed. 1t was noted that
whenever a womans name was called,
she answered ''by proxy" There was
not a single female in attendance, or a
married one either, for that matter.
