Convention of Prince Georges County
Democrats at Marlboro.

Convention of Prince Georges County
Democrats at Marlboro.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, Sept. II. 1897
The democratic county convention to be
held at this place Tuesday next for the
purpose of nominating d county ticket
promises to be interesting. The republic
cans are much elated over the indications
of inharmony in the democratic ranks.
Senator w. d. Bowie is a candidate for
denomination, but 1t is not thought he will
be able to secure the nomination nor is
1t certain at this stage who will be the
nominee. Mr.. Fillmore Beall of Evansville
district ana Mr.. Chas. Fl. Stanley Of Lau-
rel are spoken Of
Mr.. Eliery Coffin a son Of ex-Representa-
tive Coffin one of the boiling republicans
who left the regular republican couven-
ton only a few weeks ago, is seeking a
place on the ticket. The regular republic
cans of the county very anxious that
he shall be nominated, for they say it will
show the true cause for the elder Coffin s
course.
1t is almost certain. however. that the
democratic convention will reject MIR. Cot
frs overtures
DR.. L. A. Griffith of Marlboro has been
requested to accept the nomination for
| scented to do so. 1t is likely that he will
get IT without much opposition. He is in
dcrsed by the leaders Of the party, and is
well known throughout the county, having
served In the orphans court for some
years.
There are three candidates for the sher-
iffalty-ex-Sherin George D. Dove and
Messrs. B. F. Robey and BENJAMIN Ogle
For county commissioners Messrs John y.
Downing and ST. Clair Heiskell are as
pirants.
The republicans are settling their differ
eEces in the county, and 1t IS likely the
factions will be reunited before the cleo
ton. Tie contest, however. will be close
unless there should be bolt in the DEM
oeratic convention, in which case the re-
publicans can easily carry the county The
republicans are anxiously awaiting the re-
suit Of next Tuesday.
Mr.. w. B. Clagett, one Of the leaders of
| the democratic party, has thus far de-
clined to become a candidate, although he
Is being urged to do so. 1t Is said that
! Mr.. Clagett is opposed to the renomina-
ticn OF Senator Bowie. and Is very anxious
Stanley nominated for the senate.

TWO MEN WOUNDED.
Reckless Use of Revolver by
ssDOOGle" Perry.

There was street hight near 18th and C
streets southeast Saturday night, a few
minutes before Il o'clock, IN which several
pistol shots were fired. II was only be-
cause of the bad craftsmanship of Will
liam, alias Doodle" Perry that the police
have not another Dorsey Foultz on their
hands.
According to the information receiyed
by the police, Charles Brooks and Doodle"
Perry had a quarrel about girl, and it is
stated that some bad liquor had been in
dulged in, which only added TO the trouble
The quarrel between the men lasted some
minutes. but finally Perry drew revolver
from his POCKET and shot at Brooks The
bullet entered his left arm, but this did
not satisfy Perry. and he continued firing
Henry jackson happened to be there at
the time. and he received one of the bull
lets in his leg.
The shooting caused some excitement IN
the neishborhood. and the police reached
the scene after Perry had fed They re-
moved the injured men to Providence Hos
pitai, and then went in search of the man
VINO Rad used the weapon, but failed 10
fnd him. 1t was reported yesterday that

COL. HASKELL'S OFFICE.
No IntimatfOn That He Will Accept
Sealcr's Place.

Colonel Haskell, the newly appointed
sealer of weights and measures. has not
signified to the Commissioners his inten-
ton of accepting the office. II is true that
he has written them a letter in which he
asked for certain Information, together
with list of his duties, the bond required,
etc. but the letter contained no intention
on his part of acceptance of the office. 1t
is understood Colone; Haskell wants some
thing better. and as he is at this lime in
umately identified with the canvass of
Senator Hanna, the latter may give him
something better.
In case he declines the Office of sealer
the position VIII undoubtedly be ;illed by
the Commissioners. They will douhtl-s IS
appoint the gentleman they first decided
upon, whose appointment was only de-
leated by the request of the admins, ration
Ter the preferment of Colonel Haskell

MORE MONEY FOR PENSIONS.
Commissioners Evans Thinks the
Funds VIII Run Low.

Washington, Sept. Reconnaissance
Evans, of the pension bureau, says he
thinks it will be necessary this year to
ask congress for a deficiency appropria-
ton on account of pensions. He said:
II estimate that the total payments for
the ear will not exceed $147, 500, 900, and
the appropriation for the year is $141, $685.
$50. If there should be an unexpected fall
Ing off in the revenues. the pension pay
ments might be curtailed toward the end
OF the year, although I do not hin that
his is at all likely
The increased pension payments, he
said, would be due chiefly to the fact
that there are about 200, 900 old claims
pending which 1t is the intention of the
bureau to a%djudicate as rapidly as pos
sible. The claims allowed probably
would call for something like So, o. 900.
There also had been q remarkable in
crease in the number of new pension
applications, and these would increase
expenditures largely. In answer to a
suggestion that there might be a def
cit in the treasury at the end of the
fiscal year. the commissioner said that
he had examined into the matter some
what and was Of opinion that there
would be a sufficient increase in the
revenues before the year was over to
prevent a deficit.
