Matters Political,

In four counties of the Sixth Dis
trict of Maryland-Garrett, Frederick,
Montgomery and Allegany-the coun-
ty conventions have been held. The
fifth county in the district, Washing
ton, will not hold its convention until
Saturday.
{ In Frederick county the convention
was carried by the friends of Hon.
Milton g. Urner, who are urging his
nomination and are very enthusiastic.
The convention in Allegany county
was held on Tuesday of this week
when Col. George A. Pearre was
granted the privilege of naming the
delegates to the Frederick convention.
The Montgomery county republi-
cans held their convention several
weeks ago when Mr.. Ashley NJ. Gould
was authorized to name the delegates
to the nominating convention.
The Garrett delegation has not
vet been chosen. Senator Ravens
croft was in Oakland on Tuesday and
intimated that he would not name
the delegates until some time next
week 1t is understood that eighteen
men will compose the delegation to
Frederick fromsthis county-five to
be chosen from Oakland and the re-
mainder to come from the districts of
Da21s{Iounty-one member from each.
A telegram dated at Hagerstown
appearing in the Baltimore Sun yes
terday says: "a prominent Washing
ton county republican stated today
that Judge Edward Stake is surely a
candidate for Congress, and that he
would carry Washington county in
Saturday nights primaries without
opposition. There is practically no
opposition to the Judge in Washing
ton county. There was some talk of
the Judge having a desire to name
the delegates to be selected to go to
the district convention, but it is I'M
derstood he has withdrawn his de-
mand. 1t is very probable that every
district in the county will pass resolu-
lions at the primaries indorsing Judge
Stakes candidacy. At least that is
the programme as made out now. The
delegates to be selected to the district
convention will be instructed to vote
for Judge Stake. As to a second
choice nothing has yet been said. The
friends of Judge Louis E. McComas,
who were stated to favor Mr.. Ashley
NJ. Gould, of Montgomery county, are
for Judge Stake and will throw their
influence to him.

Judge Boyd Condemns Methods Employed
by Some BuiIding Associations.


by Some Building Associations.
Chief Judge A. Hunter Boyd has
filed his opinion in the case of George
Giessman VS.. the Peoples Building,
Loan and Saving Association of New
York.
The building association held a
mortgage against Cheeseman's proper
ty, upon which he had been making
monthly payments according to the
rules of the association. About year
ago the association demanded 81, 357 t
settle the mortgage, which Giessman
refused to pay. Foreclosure proceed
ings were commenced and Giessman
applied for an injunction to restrain
the sale and claimed he was entitled
to credits which had not been al
lowed. The association set up num-
Der of legal defenses, all of which were
decided in favor of Giessman, and
Judge Boyd requires the association
to credit him with an additional
amount of nearly four hundred dol
lars. The opinion is a voluminous
one and Judge Boyd pays his respects
to building associations of this class
in manner which is anything but
complimentary to their methods.
Judge Boyd says no man would go
into such building association if he
knew the character of contract he
was making

BURNED AT SEA.

The 4-masted schooner Alice E, Clark
of Portland, Me-. arrived at Vineyard
Haven Mass yesterday afternoon with
twenty-five OF the surviving passengers
and crew OF the Clyde Line freight
steamer Croatau, which burned and
sunk of Cape Charles last Tuesday.
When the steamer went to the bot
tom she carried five victims with her.
The Croatan sailed from New York Oc-
tober 81 forWilmington and other south.
ern ports. She carried large cargo OF
miscellaneous goods and eight passen
gers. Shortly after the steamer was dis
covered to be on fire and an explosion
in the cargo blew up the planks of the
deck. This was followed by second
and more severe one, which nearly tore
The after part of the vessel to pieces. A
third explosion ensued subsequently
and the steramer was inevitably doom
ed to destruction. The steamer was
soon a mass of flames from stem to
stern and the heat radiated was almost
UNDESIRABLE to the men and women who
had left the vessel in the small boats.
When the Croatan had disappear
ed heavy cloud of smoke hung over
the place where she sank. Passengers
and crew behaved with the utmost COOL
ness. Their was no excitement, no
frenzied rushing about, and the two
colored women passengers and Mrs.
White, of Wilmington, seemed to be
the especial care for every man. Capt.
Clark and his officers say that they can
not account for the fire. which will
probably remain mystery. They
knew of no explosive material being
aboard. The exact nature Of the cargo
is not known to them, as the ships pa
pers were lost. Had not the Alice
Clark happened to be in the vicinity
when the Croatan caught fire, the list
of casualties would undoubtedly have
been much larger. The steamer was
dozen miles from land and no other
vessel was in sight.

The Maria Teresa Sunk.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Nov. 5.-The
cruiser Maria Teresa has been sunk off
the Bahamas. All hands were saved
and landed here to-day. The quaran.
tine officer at this place this morning
reported the sinking of the former
Spanish cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa.
The crew of the vessel is now at this sta
ton. The vessel was on her way un-
der her own steam from Santiago to
Norfolk, where she was TO be locked
for further repairs. The tug I. ]. Mer-
rift, which was towing the Maria Te-
resa, has arrived. She reports that the
cruiser sank on the morning of No
vember 1st off the Bahama group. The
crew was taken on the convoy
vessels and all were saved. Nothing
could be done to keep the vessel from
sinking. The steamer sank during 8
severe storm.
The cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa
carried the Spanish Admiral Cervera
on July Sd, when the Spanish ships in
Santiago harbor sailed forth in q des
perste attempt to escape. The Maria
Teresa with the Spanish cruisers Al
mirante Oquendo. Vizcays, and Cristo-
bal Colon were riddled with shot,
forced to head for shore, and all were
sunk. Lieut.. Hobson, the naval con
structor, examined the wrecks and be-
came convinced he could save at least
two of the Spanish ships. He went to
work and with the assistance of wreck
ers, succeeded in raising the Maria
Teresa. The vessel was temporarily
patched up aud, late last week, started
from Guantanamo bay for Norfolk. 1t
was expected that the vessel could be
repaired and reconstructed and made a
valuable addition to the American
navy. 1t is probable that the plans in
regard to the raising OF the other ships
will now be abandoned.

Crushed to Death in a Mine.

SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 5.-Tbree cars
loaded with coal fell down the hosting
shaft of the Exeter colliery at Wy
oming this morning, crushing seven

the ten men who had been at work ct
the scene of the accident were dead
and three others fatally injured. The
scenes around the mouth of the mine
as the dead and injured were brought

About six O'Clock in the evening score

openly defed the police but finally they
were quieted by well thinking members
of their party. Last night three police
men arrested "red shirt" and were at
once attacked and beaten by the prison

and by the use OF clubs and with dis
play of pistols succeeded in arresting

NORTH CAROLINA POLITICS.

A dispatch from Raleigh, N. c., says:
the outlook now is that the election
Tuesday will be quiet affair and that
no serious disturbance will take
place at the polls. The acquittal OF
Captain Kitchin and others charged
with intimidating q registrar is cited by
democrats as an evidence that the re-
ports of intimidation were exaggerated.
One of the largest democratic rallies
of the present campaign was held in
Charlotte yesterday. There were about
1000 mounted men in the parade.
Senator Ben Tillman, of South Caro-
lima, and Senator John W. Daniel, of
Virginia, were the speakers. They
were enthusiastically received. Senator
Tillman began by an arraignment of
Grover Cleveland, and after reviewing
the conditions in North Carolina, urged
the democrats and populists to shake
hands and get together, as no man need
stay out of the democratic party now
on account of Clevelandism. "Fusion
in North Carolina now," he said, sis
nothing but republication. The way
to kill fusion is to invite populists back
as brothers and as white men who love
North Carolina; but if they don't come,
as sure as the sun shines the 10000
democrats will no longer submit to the
present state OF things, l say this
because your people are of the same
race as South Carolinians. In South
Carolina no negro editor could SANDER
The white men of the State as that Will
minpton negro did. That negro would
now be food for catfish in the bottom
of the Cape Fear river, instead of going
around above ground. The negroes
ruled us down in South Carolina once,
but they never slandered our women
like that. Dor were they ever allowed
to insult them. White people must
stick together.
Senator Daniel made very conser-
yative speech, eulogizing the democratic
party and arraigning the republican
party. He said he learned that
the acanvass at Charlotte is not being
conducted on the re6nements of politi-
cal issues, but IN favor of good govern
ment. and the rule of intelligence. If
there in race question at Charlotte it
is no novelty for the Auglo-SaxoD to
deal with" Senator Daniel spoke OF
the feeling toward the negro in the
north. and said that the best
friend of the negro was the
southern man, and that the greatest
enemy the black man had was the
white men who tried to put the negro
in rule over his white nelghbor.
Richmond is doing big business in supply
ing arms and ammunition TO North Carolina,
for possible use on election day. Norfolk has
also sold quantities of arms to north Carolina.
