DEMOCRATS AROUSED
OVER GRAY RESOLUTIONS
There May Be c Division in thc
Ranks Of The League As
a Result

Conservative members OF the Demo
cratic League arc bewailing the adop-
ton and publication OF the resolutions
denouncing Judge George Gray, and
unless the action is rescinded there
promises to be a division in the ranks
of the league that will be serious.
IL seems TO have been an act of the
hct-headed free silverites. and but few
of the well-thinkinE members were
present IL is denounced as a fool
hardy, childish piece of work and a
direct personal insult TO Judge Gray
and his friends.
The framer OF the resolutions is
kept as much in the background as is
the motive for their consideration al
this time by the organization.
There may be some action taken In
the matter at the. next meeting OF the
members of the league.
The hostile feeling Of the free silvel
Democrats, politically, toward Judge
Gray is no secret. His support of tins
Palmer -Buckner gold ticket arouse'
their ire, as did his attitude on i'm
perialism, but this was quieting dowl
and the party breach was fast healing
The personal breach, however, is jus
as wide as ever, and this sudden out
break of the hot-heads is said to hav
lundone the harmony work Of man,
months.
A prominent member Of the Demo
cratic League. when asked about tn
matter this morning, said:

Mystery Of Mrs. GiIkeR'S Dis
appearance Solved
ANOTHER STRANGELY MISSING
Queer Epidemic Which Seems to Have
Affected the Women Living in
Townsend Street

The mystery which surrounded the
disappearance Of Mrs. Gilken, of No.
322 Townsend street, some time
ago, has been solved by the police of
this city.
Mrs. Gilken frequently visited a
certain neighbor's house and while
there became acquainted with GER
tain Thomas Emery, who went under
the assumed name of Charles Wilson.
He worked in The Diamond State Steel
Companys plant, and boarded at a
house in Walnut street.
Mrs. Gilken became infatuated with
Emery Cor Wilson, and they planned
TO elope. Mr.. Gilken was unsuspiciOus
and never noticed the attention Emery
was paying to his wife, therefore
they did not have any fear of him
spelling their plans.
On the afternoon Mrs. Gilken disap-
peared she met Emery and they went
together to his clearinghouse in
Walnut street Chief Black traced
them there, but before he could arrest
them, they heard of his intentions and
again disappeared.
They were located a second time at
the Klondyke House, a hotel at Spring
alley and French streets. The police
were about to arrest them there, when
they again were warned and left.
Since that time the authorities have
been unable to find any trace of them
They think they have left the city for
good.
Mr.. Gilken is much grieved at his
wife's conduct, and cannot account for
it, because he said she always seemed
TO be a model woman. He has sold
all his household furniture. and is now
boarding with a ncighbor. He intends
to institute divorce proceedings as soon
as possible. after which the and his lit
tie boy will board. He is trying tC
find his wife and get her to return
to her home in Ha1TisOnburg. Va.

Gilsen thinks he and his wife viii

Mrs. Charles Emery. of No. 81
Townsend street, left her home about
s o'clock this morning, and cannot be
found. She did not notify her husband
of her intentions to leave, and he can
not imagine where she mas gone. Mr.
Emery can give no reason for hel
leaving, and is unwilling to think tina
she ran away with another man. HI
