Election Set for This Afternoon,
Though Investigating Commit
tee May Not Report.
EXPENSES MUST BE SLHSHED
FINANCE COMMITTEE SAYS REDUC-
TION is IMPERATIVE.
An Amusing Incident at the 2essiOn
of the RathbOne Sisters Over
"Matchmaking."

Last midnight the special committee
which is investigating charges made in the
morning papers last Monday against Su-
preme Lodge Knights of Pythias officers
adjourned without having completed its
work. This morning at o'clock the hear
ing will be resumed in Room 20, Denison
Hotel. Members of the committee expressed
much doubt as to whether the work would
be completed by noon to-day. A number or
witnesses were called before the commit
tee and asked to tell what they knew with
regard to either the publications or the al
legged facts contained in them The men,
bers of the committee were very secretive
and would give no information as to what
the testimony tended to show. 1t was
learned from one of the witnesses who was
examined that questions were asked with
the evident intention of locating one GER
tain man, as having been the newspapers
informant.
If the investigation committee shall not
have completed it's work by noon to-day
there prospects of a warm fight in the
convention over the election question. The
new party" men will doubtless insist on
postponing the election again, as their con-
tention is no elections should be held until
the candidates affected by the charges have
been cleared by the committee. The "old
party men, it is understood, will try to
force an election this afternoon whether the
report is made or not At l o'clock this
morning the new party men were caucus
ing and attempting to determine on the
policy to be pursued. One subject under
consideration by the caucus was that of
sprnging some new candidates. The "old
party" men were equally busy last night in
their efforts to come to an understanding
between the Fethers and Carter factions.
Both the Carter and Fethers men, however,
seem determind to stand by their candi-

Reiuvenated an Old Horse.

The Louisville and Detroit boomers are taking
the town. The Louisville fellows almost got
away with a horse and buggy yesterday. Two
tallyho loads of the gang swept around the
corner of Delaware and Market streets in the
afternoon and the usual wave of jolity followed
them. They saluted the pretty stenographers
who leaned out of the windows, with blasts OF
trumpets. and the cheering was incessant.

trotted along behind the talyho. Someone yelled
to the horse, Whoa you don't want to be a
Knight Just then the owner of the animal
dashed out of a store, caught the horse and
brought him back TO the consciousness that he
had transgressed the rules which a family horse
should follow, and reminded him that he was
not even a 'Rawbone'' sister, much less a
Knight of Pythias.

One of the elsmeut9 Of the remarkable
charm which distinguished him was
his persistent youthfulnoss. His hand
some face was always young; ho had
tho voice and bearing OF buoyant
youth; his enthusiasm and quick
emotions were those of pure minded
and high-spirite,l boy. His scorn Of
everything mean or bnsc, his disregard
Of consequences in the pursuit OF what
he thought right, his frank eSpecta-
tion of that sympathy which he was so
ready to give, his belief in the sincerity
of others, being himself absolutely sin
cere, all these qualities, even more than
his good looks and gallant bearing,
gave the impression not only of u
young man, but Of one who should
always be young. 1t is hard to think
that the rigid limit of three score and
ton years should be the term of so
much activity and energy, but the fine
vitality and power of such IL character
will survive his death. In the atfec-
ton of those who knew him,as model
and example to those who admired
him, ho will live long MS an enduring
memory and wholesome inspiration. "

So great reputation had he
acquired In this particular that when
he was invited to take place in Mr.
Cleveland's cabinet it was generally
expected the Treasury Department
would be offered to him. Mr.. Cleve-

Manning for this place and gave the
portfolio of foreign affairs to MIR. Bay

sition he could have made of the two
men and the two places. Nobody could
have done better than MIR. Manning in
the Treasury; and now, after the lapse
of q dozen years, we cannot sec how a
better choice could have been made for
Secretary of State than Thomas f.
