MILSTEAD TO CONTEST
 C. w. THOMPSON'S SEAT
From the Fifth Congressional District-Re- publicans Ara Charg ng Frsud-Dem-
 ocratic Success in Every County

James w. Strother of Dadeyille, one of the Bryan electors for Alabama, was in the city yesterday. and spoke interestingly of political conditions in the Fifth Congress sional District Mr. Strother says there seems to be no doubt but that MT. Mill stead, the defeated Republican candidate, will contest MT Thompson's right to a seat in the House of Representatives. He says that it has been current talk among the followers of Milstead, even before the elec- ton, that a contest would be made. MT. Strother says that Thompson carried every county in the district, and won his cer- ticate fairly. Notwithstanding this fact the Republicans are talking of fraud, and a fight will surely be made for Thompson's seat. MT. Strother is of the opinion that the Republican Congress will be slow to turn MT. Thompson out, as he sees no ground for contest, besides MT. Mlstead is not needed to give the Republicans q good working majority.

RECKLESS SHOOTING
 AT FAIR GROUNDS
Cases of the Participants in the Difficulty Postponed Until November I6-Much
 Public Indignation Exists

The cases against w. H. Jones' Goodman Jones and w. T. Johnson, the men arrest ed for participating in the shooting affray at the fair grounds, which were to have been heard before Judge Feagin yesterday morning, have been postponed until Fri day, November 16 Attorneys Abernathy and McNally, who represented the defend- ants stated to the court that they were not ready for trial and insisted on a con- tinuance. This the court finally decided to grant them.
 Considerable attention had been attract ed to these cases on account of the in- tense indignation which was aroused over the firing of firearms in the great crowd congregated around the race track at the fair grounds. Though no one was hurt during the affray, many citizens were heard to say that the participants, if found guilty of violating the law, should be severely dealt with.
 The charges against the men are as fol- lows: w. H. Jones, assault and battery on W. T. Johnson; Goodman R. Jones, assault with intent to commit murder, and carry ing concealed weapons; w. T. Johnson, af- fray and carrying concealed weapons.

THE TENNESSEE co.

A Tennessee Director Disposes of Ru-

All the sensational gossip about the Tennessee Company and the Standard Oil Company and so on, is thus disposed of by a director of the Tennessee Company in the Wall Street Journal of Thursday:
 "The mater of infusng new blood into the Tennessee Coal and Iron management is still under confederation The plan is to appoint chairman of the board a man with a thorough practical knowledge of iron and steel in all departments-such d man as MT. Carnegie would be likely to choose as the head of his company. This will not mean any change among present officials of the company. The business has been steadily improving, and now, with the reelection of President Mckinley, 1 look for very large increase in orders. Ac- cumulated stocks have been very largely worked off, and the improved demand which l look for should insure great activ- ity In the company's operations and ad- vanced prices for it's product in the near future

All of the city employees were paid their monthly salaries yesterday, and there is much good feeling around the city hall. It was thought that these payments would be delayed on account of the city council failing to secure a quorum at the last meeting and not approving the pay roll. This was arranged by the finance commit tee, however, and the various employees are happy.

como a man OF wealth.
He recently picked up n newspaper and

a man with a mole on his lip. He was re-
quested 10 communicate with a firm OF

He soon learned that he had fallen heir
to about s5oo.oOo. He was requested TO WIS.,
IL London Immediately. but he replied
that the money for the voyage would
have 10 be advanced from London. A re-
mittance OF $500 was made. and Styled

will take the police force entirely out OF
politics. and that IL will also have a dis
tinct bearing upon the granting OF liquor
licenses. These men want to see the law
strictly enforced, ana realize that under a
commission appointed by the govsrnor
and independent OF city political wire-
pullings. matters Will be vastly improved.
As matters stand today, the granting OF
more than one liquor license has given
ground for severe criticism, and tho law
governing the distance of saloons from
school houses has not been regarded as
closely as IL should. This will probably
be different under police commission.
GOOD REASON FOR CHANGE.
Under the proposed law the license
board would be abolished and all liquor
licenses will be issued by the police COM
missioners. and this feature meets with
a great deal OF favor, or course. there
are some men, who have bsasted OF their
pun with certain members OF the license
board, who will not be pleased at .

IL should be made.

there is no need TO worry on this score,

secure three good men for its nre com

whatever.

gent demand for a police commission,and
the sooner the bill is passed the better IL
will be for the people of Providence and
