WARD POLITICS.
Triangular Aldermanic F ght In
the Tenth.

Some lively canvassing Is going on in Ward
10 for the Democratic nomination for Alder
man. There has been more or less political
talk in this ward since the West city commit
tee delegation was thrown down by the anti
Dorney city committee
Just now however, the friends of former
Alderman Darcy are doing some work that
they say Will prove mighty effective by and
by Alderman Mciann seems 10 take little
heed Of the coming fight and has told his
friends that he does not know yet whether he
will be candidate for reelection or not.
The present Alderman from the ward noJed
for the fighting qualities Of its politicians
made quite bid for one class of voters in his
ward b. his protest against work Black
stone boulevard parkway being done by con
tract. The opponent of Alderman McGann
doesn think his position on this matter will
assist him, but the Alderman said today that
he thought IL better to give men work on
such jobs than help them through the over
seer OF the poors department.
There can be no doubt that Mr. Darcy has
many friends In the ward who would like 20
see him again member OF tho Board, and
some Of these friends will back him heavily.
There cannot fail 90 be very pretty fight
i'm this ward should the friends of Alderman
McGann succeed In the persistent effort they
are now making 90 induce hlm TO seek re.
nomination. IL is probable, too, that the
Democratic caucus nominee will have 20 fight
not only Republican opponent, but also a
Democratic lndepcndent one.

THE ROME CLAIM.
A Committee Report to Be Made
10 Council.

The Thomas Rome property, so-called. which
In held 10y the city and valued NJ $50, 600, and
for which a claim was made some time ago by
Findlanders, represented by the Rev. A. f.
Beekman, will probably be considered by
the Common Council at the meeting on Sep
tember H.
At a previous meeting the claimants were
given leave to withdraw on the strength Of a
report made ty Clerk Field of the Municipal
Court that showed that the! Findlander,
Thomas Rome was not the man who owned tho
property in question on Dorrance street, and
who died. leaving no heirs, early in the pres
ent century.
Attorney Norris, representing the FINLAND
ers, discussed the report. before the committee
of the Common Council and reply will be
furnished TO the committee next week by
Clerk Field, who has secured additional in
formation showing that the Findlanders are
not entitled 10 the property, which is now in
the hands of the city treasurer
If the committee reports in favor of n leave
TO withdraw, and IL is quite likely, Attorney
Norris will go to the courts with the case.

Statement Made by Editor David
Rowland OF the Gazette.
Meeting of Corporation Tomorrow Pc.
tit on of WCm:n Graduates.

So much has been written and so much
has been said in regard to the publicity
given the action Of tho corporation of
Brown University in connection with
President Andrews that it has become a
matter of public interest as to how the
news first came out.
Representatives of the Providence paper
attended the meeting of the corporation
Thursday, June IL. i'm University hall
No reporter was allowed in the same
room with the corporation, while it was
IN session. A the close of the meeting
the secretary. Rev. 4. ID. Anderson. gave
out no Information in regard to the
action or discussion relative To President
Andrews.
Friday afternoon, June Is, the story
first appeared in the Worcester Evening
Gazette and an evening paper of Provi-
dence.
Tuesday, Juno %. the same reporter
who represented: The News at the meeting
OF the corporation was in Worcester,
while there be- meet Editor David How
land of the Worcester Evening Gazette.
Mr.. Rowland said;
MIR. HOWLAND'S TATEMENT
1--WE are all anxious to learn what
President Andrews 10 going to do. The
story as TO the action OF the corporation
came from Worcester. The members of
the corporation from Worcester came
home and began to blow about what
they had done. We telegraphed the story
in TO a Providence paper
Now is the chance for some newspaper
man To cable President Andrews in Lon
don and see what he is going to do"
CONGRESSMAN WALKER ON PUB
LICITY.
Congressman Joseph II. Walker In his
letter answering the faculty said:
The determination ofstbe corporation to
refrain from making this divergence of
opinion public, and its effort to avoid
any formal. official, or public criticism of
President Andrews and his insistence on
its giving MIN written communication,
which could cover but small part of the
case, against the best Judgment and pur-
pose of the corporation; his rushing into
print before the corporation could take
any action as "a body upon the result, and
again, through some members of his
faculty, exhibits in a minor degree the
wide divergence in opinion of the pro-
prieties in their respective positions, and
shows how eagerly Mr. Andrews is seek
ing the crown of martyrdom in the cause
of the immediate and unlimited coinage Of
silver Ii may be said, in passing, that
the remarkable statements made in the
communication signed Henry B. Gard
ner' show how little the faculty know of
the kind and amount of work President
Andrews. has been doing in the cause Of
the immediate unlimited coinage OF sill
YER at l6 TO by this country alone. and
regardless of consequences.
Tine opinion of our corporation was not
unknown TO President Andrews. To say
that our action in the least degree in
friDges upon the sacred cause OF the
freedom of speech or upon the inde-
pendence of thought and expression on
the part OF the president and professors.
is TO confuse the personal rights of an in
dividual with the duties assumed and

Taylor, one Of the murdered men, was
so years old and was the wealthiest man
in Searcy county. Dodson was well
known deputy and has been a terror to
moonsbiners for years.
The six officers were on moonshne

Taylor and Dodson fell at the first vol
ley, dead in their tracks
