CEN. HORACE PORTER HERE
Continued from First Page.

the Columbia Democratic Club of this city,
but he resigned from that organization and
aligned himself with the party OF Mr.. Nor
ris. who I'm the struggle for the District
craftsmanship beat MIR. Henry Davis
1t is said that there was something 'erT
peculiar about that deal, the most interest
ing political story being that Mr. Norris,
after holding the place for while, was
to resign. but II ttat was the contract it
was never carried out. At any rate, Mr.
Woodward trained with the faction that
secured the appointment of A. A. Wilson
as marshal OF the District.
THERE WERE OTHERS.
Mr.. Woodward's services as prominent
Democrat did not obtain for him par
ticularly high or prominent post when the
Democrats were being recognized for the
inaugural ceremoniesO or + resident Harrison.
His name appears as one OF tie committee
on auditing accounts, fact which shows
Tor itseir- There rs All Impression growing
out OF this fact and others that if the gold
Democrats We're intended to he recognized,
as Mr.. Parker states, there were others,
decidedly others.
Whatever Mr.. Mark Hanna does this
morning it is certain that he will have
gone counter to the wishes OF the local Re
publcans if he coincides with the suS-
gestion of Col Parker.
MIR. Hanna is reported to have denied
that lie has received any protests from
District Republicans as to the appointment
OF MIR. Woodward. If that Is true there
must be something wrong with the mails
between Washington and Cleveland. Pro-
tests were certainly mailed to Mr. Hanna.
He will possibly be able to explain this
to the committee Of prominent Republi-
cans who will call oh him today or to-
morrow.
The committee will probably call to Mr..
Hanna's attention the lamentablc fact that
when the Republicans OF the city expressed
their opinions numerously and adversely
in The Times to the appointment OF Mr.
Woodward. one OF the afternoon papers
went abroad to get counter statements as
it always does, and fell down flat in the
attempt, as II always does.

SCALDED 70 DEATH
William Owens falls into a
Tank of Hot Syrup and
receives fatal burns.

William Owens, colored, from
jefferson parish met q terrible
death last Sunday morning on
the Shaffer Brothers ArdOyne
plantation, While working in
the sugar house he fell into a
tank Of hot syrup and was 50
badly scalded that he died
an hour afterward. It seems
that the unfortunate man while
attending to his duties forgot
that the tank of syrup was
behind him and stepped back
wards. After falling in the syrup
Owens walked from II end OF
the tank to the other with
nothing but his head above
the burning syrup.
