The Bishops Fair Is Still Drawing
Large Crowds.

The threatening weather of yesterday
and last night did not in any way affect
the crowds that attended the Bishops fair
in Tomlinson Hall. A large crowd was
present yesterday at the business mems
lunch, which is being served every day. In
the afternoon the crowds began to arrive
for the fair proper and the vendors with
their wares were busily engaged in dis
pensing them to the patrons. Contribu-
tons have been so numerous in the past
two days that many articles will have to
be sold for "mere song" The side shows
opened last night, with all their attending
noises, and during the evening crowds con-
tinued to pass In and out from the tents.
The wheel of fortune" was busy making
its rounds" to the delight of the people
who had invested for a paddle" One of
the prettiest booths of the bazaar is the
doll booth, in charge Of Mrs. r. r. Shiel.
Additional attractions are booked for to-
day, it being children's day. A creased
pig has been secured and will be turned
loose in the hall for the children to catch,
if possible.
The business mems lunch for to-day is
expected to exceed any given this week. as
the hotels which are doing the catering
promise something extraordinary from
their culinary department Tonight SOU
venirs will be given.
The receipts so far will exceed $1,000, and
the managers of the fair are very much
gratified at the attendance.

WOMEN SENT TO TEXAS.
Two Residents of This City Lose Their
Sweethearts.

The police department is, of course. for
the benefit Of the public, and the uses made
of il are not few. Many times these uses
are amusing. Yesterday Henry Temple
meyer, of CIT South New Jersey street,
called at headquarters and asked for infor-
nation as to how his brother William and
Christopher Niermann were to recover
their wives, or prospective brides. He said
that Niermann and his brother went to
Germany in September last to get wives.
They found them and few days ago land
ed with them in Baltimore. The immigra-
ton officers, when questioning the women,
asked the required questions, and In reply
to one, "How much money have your re-
ceived the reply: Forty cents" That
started the trouble, and the men were sep
arated from their sweethearts. They had
round-trip tickets to Indianapolis, and as
they expired yesterday the men were
obliged to leave the women in charge of
the officers, coming themselves to Indian
apolis thinking the women would follow
on the next train or the day following.
After arriving here they became anxious
to see those left behind and telegraphed
for information concerning them. The re-
ply was frightful disclosure, as the mes
sage stated the women had been ''sent to
Texas"

DAN w. SIMS HERE.
He Was with j. Frank Han1y When
He Heard of His Selection.

Dan w. Sims, leading Democratic at
torney of Lafayette and former law part
ner of j. Frank Hanly, was at the Eng
lish Hotel last night and had a word to
say for his friend and former partner. II
was with Mr.. Hanly when he received the
telegram announcing the action Of the
state committee on the matter of the con-
vention craftsmanship" said Mr.. Sims. He
showed me the message, and / know that
he was much elated. But / want to say
that 1 do not think he had word of the
speech he will make prepared at that time.
as has been intimated by some. L think
il was perfectly safe selection for the
committee to make, and / feel sure that
when Mr.. Hanly has made his speech every
man in the convention will be satisfied.
None of the candidates need have any fear
OF Mr.. Hanly, because / know he will be
honorable a man to allow any personal
feeling he may have to enter into his party
politics or influence his actions as chair
man of the convention. There Is nothing
i'm this talk about there being a possibility
of the convention going off it's feet and
making Hanly the gubernatorial candidate.
While 1 know that Mr.. Hanly would con-
slider Ii an honor to be rendered the nomi-
nation, he is in no sense a candidate, and l
am sure that he has no ambition in this d.
rection at this time. In fact, he does not
want the nomination"

PROSECUTOR CALLED in
HE CONFERs WITH AUDITOR HART
ABOUT UNION LIFE REPORT.
Mr.. Pugh's Visit to the Statehouse
Causes Sensational Rumors
to Fill the Air.

Chief Clerk Mel and Actuary Fitch, of
the auditor OF states office, who have been
investigating the affairs of the Union Life
Insurance Company. completed their re-
port. with the exception of few securi-
ties owned by the company, yesterday.
The report will be submitted either to-day
or Monday. The examination discloses the
fact that the company is perfectly solvent,
and has assets amounting to $4,000. The
death losses of the company which are
still unpaid amount TO $1,000. Three thou
sand dollars OF this amount will be paid
to-day. 1t developed during the examina-
ton that there were many irregularities
under the former management, and from
the fact that Prosecutor Pugh was In close
CONSULTATION with Auditor Hart and Messrs.
Mel and Fitch during the greater part of
the day IL L. safe TO predict that some SEN
sationai disclosures will follow in the near
future. Owing TO the secrecy of the con-
fereEce yesterday very little informa ton
could be secured. When Intercepted about
the matter last evening Prosecutor Pugh
declared that he had nothing to say about
the matter at present.

nation are good. and that the district is.
OF course. for him. He says the district
will be solid for w. s. Haggard for the
gubernatorial nomination. Mr.. Cook says
there Is considerable dissatisfaction in the
Tenth district over the manner in which
the state committee took charge OF the
matter OF selecting chairman for the con-
vention- Mr.. Hanly lives in the Tenth dis
trict, and Mr.. Cook says the Republicans
of the district like him personally.
But we think" said Mr.. Cook, that the
selection of chairman for the state con-
vention should have been left to the COM
mittee on rules and permanent organiza-
ton. There would be ample time for a
chairman TO prepare his speech after this
committee had selected him. This selection
as ii was made seems to me TO be piece or
gag rule. The Republicans OF this State
are in this campaign to win II possible,
and the state committee should not take
up any faction that would be liable TO oper-
ate against the party in this election. If the
selection of Mr.. Hanly had been left to the
committee rules and permanent organi-
cation and this committee should have
selected him, no one could raise an obJec-
ton against him, but, being selected week
ahead of the convention, by the state COM
mittee, shows a domneering spirit on the
part of the committee. Personally l like
Mr.. Hanly, and / think the Republcans
of the district generally like him."

The railroad situation at Richmond be-
comes more interesting as the day for the
vote upon the question of railroad sub
sides approaches. The vote will be held
Monday, April 2S. There are all sorts of
charges. The trouble started when the
Cincinnati, Indiana & Eastern Railway ap-

road now in operation from Converse to
Matthews. A subsidy of $685. had been
asked of the taxpayers of Wayne town.

with all of the newspapers in Richmond

a new paper, the Richmond Dispatch, was

have the work done by the Enterprise

1t could not be done on their presses and
1t was then arranged to have the press
work done by another job house. The type
was set up and when the forms were ready
for the press they were taken to the press
room. The manager of the house was
called to the hotel by a telephone message
and upon his return he refused to print
the papers. The forms were brought to
Indianapolis and the papers printed here
by Levey Bros. The papers were distributed
the day following and the papers have
since been printed in Indianapolis.

The Democratic Primaries.

The Democratic primaries for the Sc
lection of precinct committeeman took
place last night, and if the one held in the
Eleventh precinct of the Thirteenth ward
may be taken as an indication of the turn
out there was certainly little interest mani
tested. In this precinct there were two
candidates. They were John w. Hoffman
and e. l.. Avery. The latter did not take
interest enough in the primary to be pres
ent and Mr.. Hoffman was chosen by ac-
clamation. Besides Mr.. Holtzman there
were three people present The lack of in
terest in these primaries Is not only an in
dication of the apathy on the part of the
county Democracy, but of the unpopularity
of the plan by which the voters were COM

DIR. r.. NJ. Woodland in the City.

r. NJ Woodland. whose appointment as
surgeon in the United States Marine Hos
pital Service was recently confirmed by the
Senate, is visiting friends and relatives in
this city. He has command of the foreign
quarantine service, and it was largely due
to his efforts that the bubonic plague. that
was brought to this country from Homo
lulu, was stamped out. He said the plague
was probably brought to Honolulu from
China by some one landing who was af-
fected with the disease. and that out Of
sixty-five cases fifty-five died. He said the
victims were isolated, and every precau-
ton was taken TO confine the plague to the
island. but two cases escaped, one of which
proved fatal in San Francisco, and the
other recovered. DR.. Woodland says a
commission has been appointed to ferret
out the cases of leprosy in this country.
and that there are more lepers here than
people suppose.
