PETTY's SUCCESSOR. The Commits
sioners of the District of Colombia have
announced the appointment of John R.
Garrison, at present chief of the Gus
toms Division in the Treasury Depart
ment, to be auditor of the District Of
Columbia to succeed James L. Petty,
removed from that office. 1t was under
Mr.. Petty that the deialcation of James
NJ. A. Watson, the clerk in charge of
the deposits and permit funds, occurred.
The commissioners. after examination,
decided that Mr.. Petty was responsible,
through Negligence, for the defalcation,
and at one time thought of transferring
him to another Office in the District
government, but found this impracti-
cable, and then offered him the oppor-
tunity to resign. Yesterday Petty an
nounced that he would not do so, as it
would be an admission of negligence on
his part. If Mr.. Petty does not resign
at once, the commissioners will issue an
order removing him. 1t is expected
that the change in the office of auditor
will take place about August l, and
Mr.. Petty may be given a leave OF
absence until that time. Mr.. Garrison
has accepted the appointment, and was
at the District building yesterday in
consultation for sometime with the
commissioners

attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice
Miller, of. Morgan, Texas. 81 got
temporary relief, but it came back again
and again, and for six long years have
suffered more misery and agony than

Mr.. G. NJ. Weadon, contractor for the
loop now being constructed for the cleo
trio railway, is pushing the work to
completion. The iron for the intersec-
ton of Prince and Royal streets is in
transitu and is expected daily. While work
so far has been slow and tedious owing
to circumstances over which the con-
tractor had no control, it has, never
theless, been of a very satisfactory
character.

THE CONCLAVE.

At yesterday mornings session of the
Congregation, when Cardinal OregliO
asked if the conclave would be held in
Rome, it is reported that only Cardinals
Martenelli and Steinhuber objected on
the ground of possible influence of the
Italian government. Cardinal Oreglia,
who himself at the time of the death of
Plus TX favored proposition to hold
the conclave outside of Italy, yesterday
declared that interference by the Italian
government was impossible, and the
proposition to hold the conclave at
Rome was carried unanimously. The
Congregation decided that all participant
ing in the conclave should not be allowed
to hold communication of any kind
with the outside world. In 1878 Car
dinal Hohenlohe was permitted to have
his meals sent from home, through
which medium il is said he notified
Crispi, then minister of the interior of
Italy, and Bismarck about the proceed
ings of the conclave. 1t has been de-
cided that the cells for each cardinal in
the conclave shall be chosen by lot.
Preparations for the conclaye have al
ready begun in the Sistine Chapel, where
the balloting will occur. 1t is said that
an agreement has been reached between
the ecclesiastical and government au-
thorities to have the Italian troops enter
st. Peters should any disturbance occur
during the three days that Leo will lie
in state in the Chapel of the Sacrament.

quite got his customer suited as to the

Natelson gave a somewhat indistinct

when the officer saw four men whom

On informing Nateison of his suspi-

the men and recognized them as the
men who had victimized him.

suppressed. however. and he flushed
the quarry by Shouting to the officer to.

heels and ran down the alley by the

PAY NEARLY$1,OOO,OOO
TAXES IN ONE DAY
County Treasurer Breaks Rec
ord by Collecting $1,353,651
During May.

After almost two months of hard
work by his deputies, County Treas
urer Metzdorf was yesterday enabled
to give out the tax collections made in
his office during the month of May. the
last month in which taxes could be
paid before the penalty is attached.
The total collections of the month
amounted to 53,651.11, the largest
months collections in the history OF
the county, and an increase of $780,
52S.O5 over the same month in 1902.
The collections made on May 80, of
this year, amounted to almost a mil
lion dollars, the exact figures being
s924,O09.57, or more than twice as much
as mad been collected during the other
twenty-nine days of the month.
Last year the last days collections
amounted to $806,000, while the collec-
lions for the entire month were $1,143,-
923.O6.
1T was the greatest year in the
county's history for the collection, Of
taxes" said Mr.. Metzdorf, "and the
rush on the last day made it impos-
sible for our office to get the business
cleaned up until today. 1t is Gus
tomary for the large taxpayers to hold
their money until the very last day,
and for this reason it is always some
weeks before we are able to issue a
statement of the collections for May"
The large increase In the aggregate
amount of taxes collected this year is
partly accounted for by the increased
tax levy, which is four or five mills
higher this year than last, but even
with last years levy, the aggregate
amount of money collected would be
larger for this year than last.

Stirring Address at chautauqua.

The third week of the Catholic Chau-
tauqua was opened yesterday morning
by DIR. James j. Walsh. of New York
city, who spoke on "Darwinism," paying
high tribute to that great scientist, and
showing at once how erroneous the OBJ
jections raised to his theories usually are,
and in just what they fail. A meeting

lowing the lecture.
One of the most successful lectures of
the entire course was given last evening
by Rev. Francis Clement Kelly, of La

igan in the Spanish American warlar.
lar. Father Kelly was himself volunteer
and chaplain of the Thirty second Mich
igan in the Spanish-American war.
With graphic stories of army life and
thrilling descriptions of the terror and
Sublime confusion of battle. he held
his hearers with firm hand and carried
them from one emotion to another, from
the pathetic to the comic, in a skilful
manner. 1t was ringing tribute to the
volunteer.
Preliminary to the lecture Mr. Souche-
ray sang, following which Rev. Father
Danehy, president Of the Chautauqua
spoke of the death of Pope Leo and in
troduced Right Rev. Bishop Messmer, of
tribute to the memory of the pope.

WILL RUSH WORK OF
PREPARING CARNIVAL
Night Crews to Be Employed to Insure
Completion.

A meeting of the st. Paul Carnival as
ISOLATION and citizens interested in the
movement was held at the carnival head
quarters last night
Some of the booths on the Industrial
street still remain unsold and in order
to get quick action the committee decided
to call today upon the few merchants who
have not participated and ask their sup
port
The members of the association will
make the rounds in big tally-ho and
they figure the merchants who escape
them will have hard time in doing it.
This is the last week before the carnival
opens and the association is determined
that it shall open on time and be a sue
cess.
Reports of the st. Paul Summer Carnival
have gone all over the country and yes
terday the headquarters were filed with
parties desiring concessions. Numerous
attractions were booked and many of the
semi-fake order given space in the big
midway.
In order to have the building and
grounds in readiness a night crew will be
put to work the latter part of the week
and everything rushed to completion
Many men are being employed by the
contractors, but the association is de-
SirouS that nothing remain unfinished
when the opening day arrives.
For children's day, which will be one of
the features of the carnival, a contest
has been devised, the winner of which will
be awarded a handsome pony
