REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
The Committee Still at Work on Con
testing Delegations.

Philadelphia, June 15.-The republi-
can national committee put in three
long sessions on the contests which
have been brought before it and ad-
journed late tonight with all of the
controversies practically disposed OF
except hat from Delaware.
Ar important action to-day was the
seating of the Brownlow delegates in
the Tennessee contest and refusing
admission to the friends of Pension
Commissioner Evans. The contest
was very bitter and at one time there
was the possibility of a serious en-
counter between Brownlow and Evans.
The action of the committee in the
various contests has caused it to be
generally remarked that it a not
been Influenced in the least by the
leaders. Senator Hanna's friends from
the south, especially h office-holders
have received scant consideration.
Where there were rival factions of
office holders, as in Alabama. both
sides have been denied seats. The de
eat of Wimberly in louisiana and the
elevation of Yarmouth is said to have
been distinctly antagonistic 10 the
wishes of the close friends of the ad-
miniStration.
The contest over the delegation at
large from tennessee was ldhSlI ny at
the morning session, r. $. Sharp, OF
the state executive committee being
recognized to speak for the Evans con-
testants.
Mr.. Sharp contended hat after
eighteen out of twenty-five counties
had instructed for Evans the state
committee issued a call naming a date
for holding other conventions. The
delegates chosen at these later con-
v~entions were Brownlow men and con-
trolled the state convention which the
Evans men bolted. He also charged
Brownlow with securing his election
to the state Craftsmanship by unfair
means and said that after securing the
place he had neglected the campaign
bringing upon the party h severest
defeat it had ever suffered.
MIR. Brownlow and his followers
were represented by Congressman
Gibson and George McHenderson.
They dwelt with especial emphasis
upon the claim of the Brownlow dele
cation to regularity.
The most interesting incident Of the
day was reserved until late in the at
ternoon. 1t was a speech by Senator
Hanna on the Delaware case in which
he made an impassioned appeal fol
the burial of the Ratchet between the
Addicks and Dupont-Higgins factions

COMES TO GRIEF.
A SLICK DUCK IN THE TOLLS OF
THE POLICE.


The following, from the Greensboro
Telegram. tells of Slick duck" who
has operated in Wilmington and who
was quite a familiar figure on our
streets just about n year as the promo
ter of paint factory:
"One j. l.. York, who formerly re-
sided in Greensboro, has at last landed
on the way to a term in the Federal
prison. He was arrested in Fayette-
Vile yesterday for using the United
States mails for fraudulent purposes.
Being unable to furnish bail he was
placed in jail to await n preliminary
hearing on September 18TH.
York was arrested by deputy
United States marshal upon the COM
plant of Postofiice Inspector Connolly,
who worked up the case. York has
resided in Fayetteville for about six
months, representing himself to be
paint manufacturer DESTROYS of estab-
fishing large factory In that place.
He inspected a number of sites and
selected one upon which to build his
factory. The people of Fayetteville. at
first. were enthusiastic over the enter
prise. and extended Mr.. York the
glad hand He purchased lumber (on
credfU and placed IT on the lot which
he had bought lalso on a credit after
which he had quantity of fine sta
tionery printed and began an extensive
CorreSponuence all over the country.
"In this way he managed to get pos,
session OF lot of machinery. lumber,
oil and other goods. He worked these
off at very low prices-and lived high.
The people of Fayetteville became sus-
picious of him, but he was not molested
until Postoffice Inspector Connolly got
hot on his trail.
York Is we'll remembered in Green's
boro. where he is sometimes referred
to as York of mineraline fame? This
nomn de plume attaches to him on ac-
count OF a gigantic scheme he inaugu-
rated while here two or three years
ago. BY grinding up soapstone, or
some other material. he proposed to
provide n substitute for flour. the pro-
ceeds from which were to make him a
modern Croesus. This scheme was ex-
posed in It's infancy.
when York first came to Green's
boro he was one of the proprietors of
the Southern Varnish Works. and APP
pea5ed to do n profitable business. The
DlanM which was located south of the
town. was destroyed by fire."

arrived here, and is having his tools
put In order at tho Wilmington Iron,
Works. He expects to go to work in
few days and confidently hopes to
get the obstruction out and then pro-
coed with the drilling. 1t may require
some time, though. to fish out the
drill.
When the work suspended month
ago. the we'll had reached a depth of
1923 feet. At q depth of 1,1o9 feet a
rock was struck and the drill went
through 214 feet of 1t. The rock got
harder the deeper the drill went and
during the past year q progress of only
ninety-f1ve feet was made.
The Clarendon Water Works Com
pany is to be commended for it's de-
termination and perseverance in its
efforts to get pure water for Whining
ton. The work on the well has been
going on two years and half, and has
cost the company several thousand dol
lars.
AT depth of about 500 feet a flow
OF salt water was obtained, and 1t con-
tinues to flow. but up to this time a
fresh water flow has not been obtain-
ed. 1t is proposed to go on till a flow
OF good, pure water can be obtained.
