A QUESTION OF MAJORITY.
So Citizens Club Speakers Declared
the Race Has Become.

So Citizens Club Speakers Declared
the Race Hns Become.
The Forest City Club, one of the sub
sidiary organization of the Citizens
Club faction. held an enthusiastic and
well-attended meeting at the Brough-
ton street headquarters last night. The
claims and pretensions of the Union
Club speakers were ridiculed, and the
defeat of that faction was predicted.
Mr.. r. L. Colding who was the first
speaker. said that victory for the Citi-
zens' Club is already assured, and that
the matter has been reduced to a ques-
ton of majorities. Discussing the
shrievalty of the City Court Mr.. Cold
ing said if he were in the political in
surance business he would not charge
Jack Horrigan one per cent. to insure
his job-that he was as certain to de-
feat Ed Whelan and remain in Office
as the sun was certain to rise on the
day of election.
Mr.. Colding, accusing the opposition
of an effort to steal the Citizens Clubs
candidates, took the opportunity to pay
a specially glowing tribute 10 Col p.
A. Stovall. He said also that Mr. Marcus
s. Baker, the present receiver of tax
returns. had made an admirable public
at the hands of the people.
Mr.. Arthur NJ. Lucas, Jr., who fol-
lowed Mr.. Colding, had some warm
shot for the opposition. He predicted
that if the administration of the city
were turned over to the Union Club the
city would be in the hands of a re-
ceiver in a year. Mr.. Lucas declared
that the acknowledged leaders of the
Union Club We're men who had shown
themselves dismal failures every other
walk of life and were now engaged in
a successful effort to demonstrate their
political incompetency. Mr. Lucas
touches some political chords that
caught the crowd and his remarks were
received with particular favor.
Speeches were made also by Mai.
John Schwarz and Mr.. A. A. Lawrence.
Mr.. Lawrence urged upon his hearers
the importance of getting out a fun
vote al the primary. promising If this
were done there would be no trouble
in store for the next mayoralty cleo

WOMAN FATALLY SHOT.
Pistol Ball viii Probably Cause
Maria Reeds Death.

Maria Reeds Death.
While sitting on her stoop at No. PIG
Guerard lane talking to several friends
yesterday morning Maria Reed, ne
gro woman, was shot through the right
lung and probably fatally wounded by
Robert Farmer, also colored.
Farmer and the others who witnessed
the shooting claim that it was an ac-
cident, while the woman is OF the opln-
ion that Farmer wanted to take her
life. She told the physicians that he
had threatened to kill her and that he
had cursed her moment before the
shot was fired.
Farmer was placed under arrest by
Patrolman Umbach, but the revolver
with which he did the shooting was
not found. 1t was taken away by
negro known as Scott, who owns it.
Dr. G. W. Heriot was sent for and
found the woman in a critical condi-
tion. Her mother refused to permit
her to be taken to the Georgia In
Urinary, but insisted that she be TAX
en- to her home at No. 2l8 Bolton
street. west, in the police ambulance.
The statements made by the wit
nesses to Patrolman Umbach make it
almost conclusive that the shot was
the result of an unavoidable accident.
Side as "Old Man" Ida Jenkins, Susie
Capers and Hester Jenkins were sit
ting on the Redd womans stoop talk
ing with her, when the negro called
Scott came up. A moment later he
pulled out a revolver and an argument
with Farmer was begun. One negro
contended that the pistol was loaded.
and the other was ready to wager that
such was not the case.
According to the witnesses Farmer
induced Scott to let him examine the
weapon and thus satisfy himself wheth
er or not it contained unexDloded car
of the stoOp, and while looking at the
pistol, lost his balance. In a frantic
but successful effort to catch himself
and prevent a fall to the pavement be-
low, the negro discharged the weapon.
The bullet entered the Redd woman s
right breast and penetrated the lung.
The negro Scott grabbed the pistol
and ran down the lane saying that he
would go for a physician. Farmer ran
in the opposite direction for the pur-
pose, he stated later, of giving himself
up. The attention of Patrolman I'm
bach had been attracted by the firing
of the shot. and he met Farmer at the
end of the lane. He placed the negro
under arrest and sent him to the po-
lice station house, where he is held
without bail to await the result of the
womans wound. The shooting created
considerable excitement on the West
Side.

WHARF WAREHOUSE ROBBED
Detectives Arrested a Negro SpOtter
With the Goods.

For burglarizing the warehouse at
the wharf of the steamer Clifton,
Bunion Chance, a negro spotter, was
arrested yesterday morning by Detec-
tives Stark and Murphy. Chance was
caught with the goods.
A report was made at police head
quarters that the warehouse had been
burglarized and five caddies of tobac-
co had been taken. The detectives
found Chance on Bay street and had
learned that he had been disposing of
tobacco. They took him unawares and
he was under arrest before he realized
it. A a caddie of tobacco was found
on him in packages, but he claimed
that it had been given to him to sell.
Chance is an all-around thief and
does not enjoy a good reputation with
the police. He will be given pre-
liminary examination in Police Court
this morning.

The Southside Citizens Club expects
TO make a spectacular display of its
enthusiasm Friday night, when it will
march from it's headquarters at Kiser s
Hall to the theater, where the Citizens
Club cohorts will rally from all parts
of the city and the nominations of the
faction will be announced.
When the Southsiders march to the
theater they expect to have 400 men in
line. The leaders of the club said yes
terday it had 500 members and that
as they We're making personal appeals
TO all of these to have them turn out.
they anticipated no difficulty in parad-
ing four fifths of the total.
The plans for the parade include some
elaborate features. There will be the
usual brass band and the invariable
yells and torches. of course. but these
will not be all. An ornately decorated
float win be the centerpiece of the pro-
cession. and from this some of the
strongest speakers-in the matter of
noise. the club can boast their nat
ural abilities in this line reinforced by
the use of megaphones, will shout the
slogans of their clan.
Mr.. J. Robert Creamer. one of the
club leaders, said yesterday that the
procession was going to be something
novel and up-to-date." He promised it
would create sensation as it traversed
the streets of the city, and the indica-
tons point to the fulfilling of Mr..
Creamer's promise.
Its going to be like one of Tam

SHAPING THE TICKETS
Union CLUB NOT YET READY TO
ANNOUNCE.
DILLON WILL OPPOSE BAKER
C. "a. CARSON SLATED FOR COUNTY
TREASURER.

Committee of Twenty-Five Met hut
ment-LegisIative Ticket in doubt
StovaII Not Likely to Be on 1t
Citizens Club Legislative Ticket
Will Be Announced and Ratified
Friday.
The politicians to whom their fac
tons have submitted the selection OF
candidates for the approaching pri-
mary for county officers are holding
daily conferences and making strenuous
efforts to secure the best available
timber.
A meeting of the Union Clubs Com
mittee of Twenty-Five was held last
night. but at its conclusion the mem
bers of the committee present declined
to give out the result of heir delibera-
ions. Either the nominations had not
been definitely determined upon, or
the club leaders are doubtful whether
the candidates will run.
The clubs legislative ticket presents
several elements of uncertainty. It
is believed that Messrs. George j.
Mills and Louis Blaze viii be on it,
but the third name is doubtful and
probably undetermined. Many of the
leaders of the club have been anxious
TO nominate Col p. A. Stovall, but
others have regarded this as a confess
sion of weakness they are very unwil-
ling to make, and have been strenuous
in their insistence upon the nomination
of some other candidate. The name of
T. H Mcmillan is being prominently
mentioned in this connection.
Capt. John r. Dillon will oppose Mr..
Marcus s. Baker for the Office of tax
collector, an office that he held for
many years. prior to his defeat by Mr..
Baker at the last election. Capt. Dill
Ion has announced his candidacy to
many of his friends, and they are rail-
lying Loyalty to his support. 1t is said
that Mr.. f. ]. Whelan, formerly sher-
if of the City Court, will be the Union
Club candidate for that Office against
the present incumbent sheriff, Horri-
gan.
Mr.. c. H. Carson is slated to oppose
Col. Waring Russell for the post of
county treasurer. This statement was
made by one of the leaders of the I'm
ion Club yesterday. 1t is claimed that
Mr.. Carson would make a good race.
The Citizens Club legislative ticket
without much doubt will be Cam.
Stovall and Harden. The full ticket
will be ratified Friday. All of the
nominations including the new Exc
cutiVe Committee viii have to be SUI
mitted to the present Executive Com
mittee by noon Saturday.

BACK TO HIS STEP-MOTHER.
SummervilIe Lad Returned Home OF
His own VOIitiOn.

OF his own volition Stephen I. Orig
gers, the Summerville, S. c., lad who
ran away from home because he did
not think he had been properly treat
ed by his step-mother, returned yes
terday.
A letter was received by Superin-
tendent Reilly from Justice Driggers,
the lads father, asking that the boy
be given a lecture and released. The
superintendent talked kindly to young
Driggers, and convinced him that it
would be best for him to return home.
1t was pointed out to him that unless
he secured employment he would be
without funds and liable to arrest for
vagrancy. The lad saw the logic of the
superintendent remarks and took the
first train for his home. He announced
his intention of remaining there at
least until he attains his majority.

Grocery Wagon Struck Pole ana
Wrenched Alarm Box Away.
A runaway shortly after o'clock
yesterday morning was responsible for
the sounding of a fire alarm from box
10, at State and Barnard streets, and
the northern section of the fire depart
ment had a needless run.
A frightened horse attached to a
grocery wagon struck the fire alarm
pole and wrenched the box away A
citizen was in the act of telephoning
of the accident to fire headquarters
when a pedestrian endeavored to
straighten the box, with the result
that an alarm was sounded. A false
alarm was sent in from the same box
during the presence of the knights
Templar in the city, last week. On
that occasion, it was stated, a large
sum of money was wagered on the
showing that the several companies
would make in responding to the
alarm. The chemical engine from the
Central Fire Station was the first to
reach the box with time to spare.
