intended that he should bring

MAIDS IND WIDOWS
WANT TO WE'D VETERAN
Prospect of Large Pension Makes
a Centenarian a Desirable Mat
rimonial Candidate.

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. A bill intro
duced by Assemblyman Evans into the
Legislature to increase the pension of Hi
ram Cronk, a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
old native OF Dun Brook, Oneida county,
who is alleged to be the only survivor OF
the war of 1872. brings to light a peculiar
condition Of affairs.
II seems that Cronk is now the recipient
of numerous offers of marriage from women
throughout the country, in whose hearts
has dawned a love ardent as unmerce-
nary for this war-wOrn veteran. They fear
the old man may be lonely and in need Of
the care of a tender and true wife This
fear is in no way allayed by the fact that
the widow could undoubtedly seek legisla-
ton in the future whereby she would be
cared for by the State as the relict OF an
old soldier.
Federal government amounting TO 50
monthly, and Mr.. Evans's bill provides that
this amount be increased by an additional
pension from the State of S72. It's intro
ductiOn appears to have been brought about
by the desire of several kindly disposed
persons that Cronk be given further PEN
sion by the State. He himself seems en-
tirely satisfied with his present pension
and somewhat at loss TO account for the
sudden rise of his stock on the matrimonial
market.

SHIPBUILDING TRUST
FIGHT IS ADJUSTED
Agreement Reached by Which the
Litigation Is to End and the
Company Be Financed.

NEW YORK, Feb. AFTER frequent con-
ferences the long fight between the Shell
don reorganization committee in United
States Shipbuilding affairs and the bond
holders protective committee, represented
by Samuel Untermeyer, was settled tonight
by the formulation of a new plan, which
has been agreed to by both sides, and the
litigation, in which Charles NJ Schwab
has been the central figure, will end. Max
Pam has been removed from the reorgani-
zation committee, and PIiny Fisk, the
banker, whose house will take part of the
work of financing the new company, takes
his place, while Max Nathan, of the Inter-
national Pump Company, has been agreed
on as an additional member of the commit
tee to represent the protective committee.
The new plan, made public by William
Nelson Cromwell, is put out as coming
from Receiver Smith, and provides for a
new company with a capitalization of
$780, 900, half preferred and half common,
Schwab, as the owner of the Bethlehem
bonds, to get 100000 of preferred and
$6,O00O00 of common stock, and the first
mortgage bondholders to get the remainder,
pro rata. Mr.. Schwab gives up his prior
lien on Bethlehem, and all the present stock
is wiped out.

Charles B. Clark, the Boss's Can
didate, VIII Be Elected County
Chairman.
LIGHT PRIMARY VOTE

The officers Of the Marion county De-
mocracy that will be elected by the county
committee at the Masonic Hall tomorrow
evening will be: Charles B. Clark, chair
man; Andrew II. VAIL councilman from
the Fifteenth ward, vice chairman; Charles
c. Pettijohn, secretary; Elicit r. Hooten,
treasurer. Clark will be elected by accla-
nation and Wahl and Hooten will probably
follow the same route to Office. Allen
Majors has been mentioned along with
Pettijohn for the secretaryship, but there
is no doubt of the latter's election.
Yesterdays primaries brought out very
small vote, but of that the Taggart-Fan-
ming Clark slate got practically all. There
were but four contests. In three of these
the men who were slated by the machine
for precinct committeeman were seated,
clared
The contest in which no election was de-
clared was in the twelfth precinct of the
Twelfth ward John Griffin was slated for
committeeman, while the representative of
the city administration was Daniel O'Neil.
On the tally sheets of the precinct sixty
elght votes were counted, but seventy-one
votes reposed in the ballot box. OF these
seYenty-One Griffin received thirty-nine and
ONell thfrty-two. and the latter contested.
In a discussion preliminary TO the settle
committee, in Chairman Spencer's office in
the Thorpe block last evening, Griffin and
a partisan of his opponent almost came to
blows, but were separated by friends before
any damage was done.
In the ninth precinct of the Twelfth ward
John Carr was seated over Jacob Hyob,
while in the ninth precinct of the Thirteenth
ward Scott Smith was seated over Mr.. Nor
rison contest in the first precinct of the
Fourteenth ward was decided in favor of
George Common. the man on the Taggart
slate, although his opponent, Thomas Han
men, an anti-machinist. was stated to have
received about ten more votes than Con-
nor. The contest was made on the ground
that Hammer had been helped to it, by
various and sundry Republican friends, and
this seemed to have enough weight with
the credentials committee to seat Conncr.
The sixth precinct of the Fourteenth
ward gave a fair sample OF the light vote.
Twenty-Five votes were cast out of a posi-
bic two hundred The administration DEM
ocrats were mostly too tired or too chilly
about the pedal extremities to bother with
voting. Some of them who tried couldn I
find their voting places. and were still hunt
ing when the game was called off.
