lie was seen by the Nirginian- Pilot
scribe last night, and To him he said
that he was going to see woman
named Emma Ethcredee. and that be-
cause he went with another girl she got
mad and shot him. His story did not
exactly sound straight. and the .fact
that the woman had not been arrested
made 1t look like he was lying. He
seemed to be suffering considerably
when seen. and the ball had not been
removed. Or. Truitt was sent for last
night To see him.

THE FOURTH IN PORTSMOUTH.


The glorious Fourth came in clear
and warm yesterday. At an early hour
people began to stir. some going fishing
others going To the different summer
resorts before the sun got warm. High
street looked cutie lively up to about
10 o'clock: then the street cars were
taxed to carry the people to the park
to sec the game of ball out there, and
by noon the town looked deserted
Business was suspended and all those
who could left the city. The stands
usually pitched in front of the Court
house. around which colored people and
eXcursionists usually cluster and pur-
chase ice cream etc, were conspcu-
ously absent. There was but few col
ored people on the street. They seemed
to take but little part in doing honor
to the day.
There were but few firecracSers fired.
All in all the day was very quiet The
usual number of accidents occurred.
some of which are mentioned elsewhere.
At night crowds again went out to the
park to see the big show and to hear
the music and see the fireworks All
IN all the day passed off quietly. There
were but few DRINKS on the street
The pigeon shooting at the park was
engaged in by quite Il number.

management of party affairs. There
must be but one party organization,
and it must control.
1--WE appeal to all Republicans and
voters throughout the city and state,
who subscribe to these declarations
of party principles, to unite and CO.
operate with the Columbian Club
and its allied organizations, to the
end of again redeeming the city and
state upon the platform of stalwart
Republican faith"
The adoption of these principles
means that the Columbian Club has
placed itself on record as opposed to
bossism; that the voters of the party
are to select their delegates to con-
vcn5ions tnemsei ss.ss af,.i .tner tbsy.-
are not to be chosen for them by CON
| claves or committees
Mr.. Charles l.. Wilson, chairman of
the City Republican Campaign Com
mittee during the recent fight, said:
The Columbian Club proposes to
play straight party politics, and asks
all the gentlemen of the party to CO.
operate with and assist it in this
direction. We desire to take for lead
ers Republicans-men who are not
ashamed to call themselves Republi-
cans. We recognize that the defeat
of the party in the spring took away
the rank and file of the floating vote
which follows the successful party,
and weakened the party allegiance of
many Republicans. Any inclination
OF the party managers to recognize
any club or political organization
outside of the regular machine of the
party will be discountenanced, and
that organization must be alone re-
sponsible.
There must be no misunderstand-
ing about it. We will refuse to agree
to any proposition for meetings of ad-
visory committees or compromise
committees for the selection of candi-
dates or delegates. Henceforth these
matters must be submitted directly
to the voters of the party. There
must be one organization, and all else
must be subordinate to it. If anv
club wishes to put up its own candi-
dates or delegates, it must take it's
chances in the primaries, which are
free to all"
With Saturday nights meeting the
committee of nine and the committee
of ninetysiX both passed out of exist
ence. They were organized for cam
paign purposes, and, their usefulness
having expired, their existence ceases.
In lieu of them, however, a resolution
was unanimously passed, authorizing
the political committee to select, after
consultation with the club leaders
and ward executives, a new commit
tee, to consist of six members from
each ward for organization purposes,
so that the Columbian Club may Of
I ticially cooperate with the State
| Central Committee of other recog-
nized managing bodies in future cam
paigns. This committee will be ap-
pointed by December 1st.
The executive committee of the
club has been requested to arrange a
series of meetings and public enter
tainments during the winter and
spring, to keep the members and
their friends interested. Prominent
men from other cities will be invited
to speak, and it is intended to make
these meetings prominent and en-
joyable feature of the social life of
the club.

& retirement OF Army Chaplain ], $
Seibold, stationed at Fort Candy. The
dispatch stated thar Captain Siebold
discovered an error in his recorded age
after he was ordered to the Philip
pines"
The truth Is Capt. Seibold discovered
six years ago while visiting relatives,
that the family records proved him to
be three years older than he bad al
ways supposed. thus advancing his re
tirement by that many years. This was
chiefly a matter Of pay, as that would
be reduced when he retired.
Some two years ago the chaplain
wrote the department. 10 have the
records correc:sd, sending tn" neccs-
sary affidavits, but departmental me-
thcds are not always speedy and the
matter was not settled until about the
time the order assigning Capt Sic
bold to the Philippines was made \
reporter got hold OF the two items and
guessed the rest.
Captain Seib1li was seen by an AS
torian representative yesterday. He
said he had seen the account sent from
Washington. nut he cared little aLcut
the inaccuracy. The correction Of the
records was an old matter and he was
retired by operation VI law.
His retirement dates from the 18th OF
last month, but he only received notice
last Saturday. He is packing up his
effects and viii start next week for his
old home in New York where he will
hereafter reside.

CITY POLITICS.
An Apparent Calm That Is Breeding a
Lively Contest.

Today the delegates to the republican
city convention are to be elected. Th'
ticket selected by the central commi;te'
will doubtless go through.
The only surface contest is for the
Office Of city attorney. George Welcf
would like to succeed Harrison AlleE
and will endeavor to secure the nomina-
ton.
1t was rumored yesterday that some
combination had been effected whereby
Mr. Allen would withdraw from The
race. The latter was seen by an AS
torian representative and he emphatic
ally denied that there was any such ar
rangement. Mr.. Allen stated that he is
a candidate and will ask the convention
for a denomination. He had heard
nothing Of any kind of combination
for any Office and could hardly believe
that any such exists.
There is a chariness among the lead
ers in the matter OF the mayofai'E'
Doubtless the candidate has been con-
dltionally selected but no one will ven

to be headed by Mayor Bergman. There
is little stir about the convention how
ever, and one might suppose that 1t is

calm and the forces are being lined
up for a red hot city election all down
the line.

Niantics Play Pool and Cards.

The pool tournament now in progress at
the Mantle Wheelmen's clubhouse IS
causing much interest among the experts
and the matches are witnessed by large
audiences. The enthusiasm is great, as
the competitors are so close to each other
that it is %anyone's game as yet. Last
night the, chief attraction was the game
between William La Due and Joseph
Hayes. Hayes had a handicap of 10 balls,
but was unable to fathom La Dues leav-
ings and before hi was well started the
genial president of the organization had
caught him. The following few frames
showed that it was a question of how
many and when the score stood 6S to 40
in favor of La Due and a safe leave for
Hayes, the latter bowed to his opponents
superiority and retired.
The pinochle tournament is going mer-
rily on and the students Of a double
euchre deck form much to interest them
in the playing. Lewis and Otto held the
centre of the stage last night and a big
crowd gathered to see them struggle for
the yard and a half. Lewis was too much
for Otto and after a hard race won out.

Prior made a mistake in going into the
game with his sore thumb. 1t meant a
lot to the South Hudson quintette. The
series would have given them their former
hold on second place and a mortgage on
first in the championship yace. The home
team has aspirations also and they played
the game for all it was worth. The root
is won only by scores and the home team
showed superiority in this branch of the
game.
The first game was a good one from the
go off. Prior's thumb could not guide the
ball and Dickson fell far below expecta-
ton, while on the home team the players
were putting up a rafting game. Law
renee got 210 for his share and was high.
The second game saw a big difference in
many respects. Dickson and Herig work
