HOPES Mr.. CLEVELAND
WILL NOT BE NAMED
His Wife Likes the Privacy of
Princeton Lite.

BOSTON, May 5.-Should Mr. Cleve-
land be nominated by the Democrats
next year it will be against the wishes
OF Mrs. Cleveland, says A. Maurice Low
in the Boston Globe" A man who was
in Washington recently, and who has
for many years been on terms of init
macy with Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland, told
the Globe" correspondent that few
weeks ago he was the guest of the
CIevelands at Princeton, when, in the
course of conversation, the probability
of Mr. Cleveland being nominated came
up.
With a great deal OF, earHestness Mrs.
Cleveland said she hoped Mr.. Cleveland
would not be nominated. The caller
asked why not, and Mrs Cleveland said
that her life at Princeton suited her ad-
mirably, while if she went into the
White House again there would be moth

v. HEPBURN RUSSELL
FIGHTS FOR HIS PARTY
Gets Injunction for Greater New York
Democracy to Prevent Destruc-
ton Of Ballots.

LOCKPORT, N Y, May 5.-Sheriff
Reardon has served an injunction upon
County Clerk Slocum restraining him
from destroying the ballots cast for
governor in the election last fall. The
injunction was obtained last Friday by
w. Hepburn Russell, representing the
Greater New York Democracy, from
Judge Gaynor.
The election law provides that the
ballots shall be preserved until May 3,
but the Greater New York Democracy
wishes them preserved so they may be
examined after that date to show that
the party cast more than 10000 votes
and was entitled to be State party and
to nominate without petition The sec
rotary of state held that the official re-
turns need not distinguish the Greater
New York Democracy votes from the
votes under the star. Suit has been
brought to test this question.

The Georgetown Citizens Association
at its meeting last night took a positive
stand in favor of a curfew bell and a
truant officer TO keep young children of
the streets at night b. T. Janney,
president of the association, and su-
pervising principal of the Georgetown
schools, spoke at length on the sub
ject. He said there was a growing ten
dency to hook school on the part OF
boys of all ages. Baseball and fishing,
he declared, threatened to ncutralizc
the best efforts Of the teachers.
Prof. Janney thought a truant police
man to capture and deal with the boys
was necessary, If public education was
to attain even respectable results. Prof
Janney deplored the playing and roam
ing OF children of both sexes about the
streets at night and said Georgetown
needed a curfew bell The Rev. Z. II.
Copp expressed similar views. and the
matter was referred to q special com
mittee for further consideration.

capturing J w Ryan, one of the men
directly implicated in the swindle per-
petrated ON the First National and

investigate. AS they approached the
house near the corner of Third and
streets, in the residence portion of
the city, they saw a man dart across
the street toward pile of bricks on a
vacant lot. The officer called to him
to stop, but ins iead he turned and
fired. The officers returned the fire,

ed in the city Jail, along with McFar-
lane, who was arrested last night.

evidenc, to convict these men of the
robbery, and they will be held. The
officers are very reticent regarding the
matter, and have no further informa-
tion to give out.
