MONEY IN GREENSBORO
Some of the Checks Countersigned by
Holton Cashed at Greensboro Banks.
1'he Greensboro Record saws:

The Greensboro Record says:
Much has been said about Mark
Hanna's money in the last campaign,
and that a big pile of it was left over,
some Of it to he used in the election of
United States Senator from this State.
"Of course this has been denied by the
Republicans, the reply being that they
had hut little at the start and that none
was left
However this may be. whether it is
Hanna's money or not, there is money
yet left in their hands, and what is more,
some of it was used right here in Green's
boro not many days ago. The check
was signed ~by A. II. Hoton, chairman
Of the Republican State Executive COM
mittee, and was cashed at one OF the
banks here.
Proof OF this is easily obtainable-in
fact it will not be denied. 1t perhaps
would never have been moOted had not
one Of the gentlement who knew all
about it thought the money had gone to n
certain place and for a certain purpose,
but when he spoke of it he soon discov-
cred his error, but it was then too late,
for the cat was soon out Of the bag.
without mentioning names, though
they will be If it ever becomes necessary,
it may be stated that this check came
through one attorney to another, but not
for the purpose the first attorney
thought, although he probably had good
grounds for so believing, but subsequent
events have shown that he was in error
after this there is no. further use of
denying the presence of money in the
hands OF Republicans, and it is fair to
say that it is or will be used for the cleo
ton OF Mr.. Pritchard or any other man
they see fit to run, in the event he cannot

FOR WOMANS SUFFRIGE.
The Legislative Committee Addressed by
 Prominent Women.

The Legislative Committee Addressed by Prominent Women. The legislative committee on woman
 suffrage held a public hearing yester- day afternoon in the representatives hall to Isabella Beecher Hooker. Mrs. l.. D. Bacon and their associates in the movement to have the right of fran
 chise bestowed upon women. Mrs. Bacon was in charge of the pe-
 tioners and introduced them to the committee. She told the legislators that they (the women) are very much in earnest, and that it were as well to try to stem the tide of the ocean back
 as to try to stop the current of thought that was tending every day in the di- rection of franchise for women. The doors of knowledge had been opened to woman and she was from now on to progress until her rights were given her.
 Mrs. Bacon then introduced Miss Yates of Maine. Miss Yates has a clear and forcible way of putting her ideas into words, and has the history of wo-
 mankind as we'll as mankind at her tongues end She reviewed the success sive enfranchisements from the time of the magma charta till the present; how the English had given the ballot into
 the hands of the Roman Catholic, the Jew and to the dissentor until woman, poor lone woman, stood in her solitude without the right of franchise. In mu- nicipal affairs woman had the privilege of voting, and a recent vote in parlia- ment had revealed the fact that 2S0
 members were in favor and 157 against the extension of the privelege. Shall New England allow Old Engl nd 0 le l d her in this natter" exclaimed the speaker. "Gentlemen, when I addressed you two years ago I could point with pride, as the politicians say, to but two
 states that had given woman the right
 to vote. To-day the number has in- creased 100 per cent
 Mrs Forbes of Hartford followed
 Miss Yates and was listened to with much interest. She read long list of notable men, headed by Abraham Lin-
 coin, who believed women should vote and supplemented the list with one equally as long fo women.

 an eloquent apeal in behalf of woman suffrage.
 Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker was the 1 last speaker. She is one of the pioneers
 in the movement and was listened to attentively.

 Meanwhile in the large mission hall, under direction of Mrs. H. B. Sturgess, chairman of the committee in charge of the mothers meeting, tables had been spread for the members of this meeting and their little children, about 175 in all. A very pleasant sight was the children's table, prepared by the thoughtfulness of Miss Hume, at which were gathered about forty little chill dren five or six years of age and younger After all were seated the divine blessing was asked by Rev. MT. Mossman, the missionary pastor and a fine repast, including turkey, ham and other cold meats, with pies and cake of various kinds, apples and oranges in abundance, and tea and coffee, with plenty of milk for the children, was served by a committee of twenty ladies from different churches of the city.
 At the conclusion of the supper, after a verse of Nearer, My God, to Thee" and few pleasant remarks by Rev. MT Mossman in recognition of Mrs Shepard's long continued and faithful helpfulness in the work of the City Mission, Mrs. Shepard gave to the mothers and their children a few words of Christian counsel and a Scripture passage Jeremiah 31:3) for their re- membrance whenever they thought of her. and with a closing song, He Leadeth Me" the benedcton was pro- nounced and all went to homes made happier by the exercises of the day

 Charter Oak lodge members are to be gratulated on the celebration of their fifth anniversary in their lodge room, 400 State street, last evening. The hall was beautifully and tastefully dec- orated with bunting by the New Haven Decorating company, and across the end of the room was the word ''Wel- come" in large letters, and beneath it were the words Charter Oak Lodge, No. 1SS. The monogram of the order, E. B. C.. the initial letters of the motto, Equity, Benevolence and Charity" " also occupied a prominent place in the decorations.
 At o'clock the lodge was called to order by the warden, E. R. Cornwall, the hall being filled with the represent atives of the eight lodges of the New England order in this city.

When he got his senses back partially he worked him self into a state of hystercal mania. He broke away from his seconds and rushed at Fitzsimmons, who was stand- ing at the side of the ring opposite his own corner When Fitzsimmons saw the half-demented pugilist coming at

 blow was not hard, as the unfortunate
 Californian was very weak Fit2sim-

 dragged him away from Ftzsimmons.
 He was pacified and taken to his dress ing room shortly afterwards. Fitz- simmons started a dance of victory when he saw his opponent down, He waved little flag above his head and stepped lightly down the ladder and
 into the arms of his wife, who sat awaiting him in a box right behind the chair.
 Mrs. Fitzsmmons kissed her hus- bands face taking no notice of the blood which was trickling freely from his nose and mouth. Martin Julian
