NEW DIRECTORS
ARE CHOSEN
New York and Philadelphia Men
Take the Places of Messrs.
Pizzinl and Ainslie.


Two directors of the Richmond Passen-
ger and Power Company resigned at the
meeting held yesterday and their success
sors were elected. One vacancy, how
ever. still exists in the board, as only six
directors have been elected by the stock
holders.
The two directors who resigned yester-
day were Captain Andrew Pizzini, Jr. and
Mr. George Ainslie. Their successors are
Messrs. Douglas Robinson, of New York,
and Henry Wheland, of the Fownes &
Wheland Co., Philadelphia. Both gentle
men are connected with large financial
interests. Mr. Robinson is one of the
trustees OF the Astor estate. The bonds
of the company are largely held in New

of these securities are now given direct
representation. There may be one or
more other changes.

wooden ones along the company,s lines.
Consignments of these poles are expected
daily. and the work OF replacing the old
wooden poles will probably be started at

along Main. The replacing of the poles
will gradually be extended along the en-
tire system

The Report Was Erroneous.

The statement printed in yesterdays S
Times that Mr.. Ellis Z. Sparks, Of this
city, and Miss George Goodloe, of Alton.
had gone to Washington to be married
was entirely erroneous, though made on
what seemed to be unuuestionable
authority.
The information was brought to The
Times office by 4 thoroughly reliable man
and was based o'l the statement made
to him by Air. Sparks, who stated that
he was then on his way to take the train
for Washington. where he and Miss Good
loe would be married. Mr.. Sparks said
when asked about the matter yesterday
he did not intend his statement to be
taken seriously. but the gentleman with
whom he spoke was left under the i'm
preston that all that was said was in
earnest and intended for publication.

Several real estate men said yestnr-
day that there were very distinct signs
OF improvement in the market. Pollard
& Bagby sold a small brick house, corner

for s735. The price is regarded IS re-
markably good one.
Three reaF estate firms reported making
several loans. In every case the money

are as follows:

The general tone of the real estate

announced, but the Indications are that

dences will be awarded within week.

toNMontague.


The Times learns that nineteen Of the
thirty members of the City Democratic
Committee Will vote to adopt q primary
plan for the selection of delegates to the
State Convention which will provide that
candidates for the Governorship shall be
voted for directly, and that the one re-
ceivinS the highest number of votes at a
precinct shall be entitled to the delegates
from that precinct. This statement is
made upon the authority of probably the.
best known member of the committee,
who has made a careful poll of his fell
lows. He is an ardent supporter Of Mr..
Echols for the gubernatorial nomination.
He. admitted that this plan would give to
Mr.. Montague an Overwhelming majority
Of the delegates from this city.
Mr.. J.. S. Moore. of the well known firm
of j. S.. Moore G. Son, wholesale grocers.
has announced himself a candidate for the
Constitutional Convention from this city.
Mr.. Moore was petitioned by a large
number of business men to become 4
candidate. and yielded with much reluct-
ance to their call. He is a man emnently
qualified for the work of the convention,
according to his friends, and will no
doubt make strong run. His card of
announcement will be found in another
column Of The Times to-day
Those gentlemen desiring to represent
this city in the convention have, with
out exception, signed an agreement not
to use money, directly or indirectly, in
the contest, except for printing station
cry and postage. This agreement has
been signed by the following gentlemen,
who have thus far announced their can
didaCy: Messrs. w. L. Royal, John Car

Meredith, A. S. Buford. George D. Wise
S. S. P. Patteson, Hill Montague, vir-
ginius Newton. John A. Curtis, r. Carter
Scott, Sol. L. Bloomberg and George L..
Christian.
This is the first authentic list to be pub
lished, and other signatures will no doubt
be added. There are same other gentle
men contemplating entering the race, but
as yet no announcement of their candi-
dacy has been made.
