ROCKVILLE, Md, May a. 1904.
Miss Mary Alice Crews of Washington
visited Rockville this morning for the pur-
nose of procuring a license for the mar
rage of herself and Mr.. John H. Simms,
also Of Washington, but the age of the
young man being but twenty the paper
was refused her and she returned to the
city, evidently much disappointed. She was
informed that the written consent of the
young mans parents must first be obtained
before the clerk would be allowed to issue
the license. She explained that she volun-
TERED to come for the license herself. as the
business of her prospective husband pre-
vented him getting away.
A license was issued here yesterday after
noon to Mr. Thomas B. LeCuyer, jr., of
Baltimore and Miss Naomi Courtney of
Woodbury.. Baltimore county.
At the regular weekly meeting of the or
phans' court for this county, held here to-
day letters of administration on the per-
sonal estates of Andrew l. jackson and
H jackson and Harvey e. Webster, re-
spectiyely, the bond in each case being
fixed at $500. Washington b. Chichester,
IT., and Warrington g. Smith, administra-
tors of Washington b. Chichester, ST.. and
Josiah w. Jones, administrator of Josiah
Lee Childs, passed their first and final
accounts.
The board of supervisors of elections met
here today and wound up the business
pertaining to last falls election, by passing
a number of bills and burning the ballots
used. The members of the new board which
consists of Messrs. E. c. Etchison and H. M.
I.indig of the old board and Mr.. Samuel
Riggs. who takes the place of Mr.. Charles
F. Brooke, have qualified before the clerk

The convention was in absolute control of
the Wilson. or organization forces in the
county, and one of the most har-
monious democratic conventions ever held
in this county. The nomination of State
Senator Wilson of Prince Georges county
as the democratic nominee for Congress
against Representative Sydney e. Mudd is
regarded as certain. Senator Wilson is the
author of the Wilson election law, which
removes the party designations from the
official ballot in certain counties of the
state, which law was aimed at the illiterate
negroes in what is known as the black
belt" or southern Maryland counties. He
is regarded as a logical candidate. although
he will be opposed by b. Harris Camalier
of St Mary's county, who has twice been
defeated by Mr.. Mudd Mr.. Camalier claims
that the party, now having chance to win,
ought to nominate him for the sacrifices he
made in the two previous campaigns in ac-
cepting the nomination against Mr.. Mudd
when it was absolutely certain that he
would be defeated.

WOULD CONTROL CONVENTION.
Alleged Efforts to Purchase Credentials
in virginia

dispatch from Richmond, Va, says:
In connection with the state democratic
convention which meets here June re-
port Is current that efforts are being made
to purchase the credentials of delegates in
order to control the selection of members
of the state democratic committee
The control of this committee, probably
will have an important bearing upon the
coming gubernatorial and senatorial cleo
tions, according as the primary or anti
primary people are in the majority, for
this committee is intrusted with working
out the details of the primary plan.
The question of whether or not Virginia's
delegates to ST. Louis shall be instructed
continues to be discussed. The opinion is
growing stronger that they should be left
untrammeled, and not bound to Judge Par
ker, who, many think, will not be found
strong enough to win. The boom for New
forks young mayor is gaining some
strength in virginia. but as a rule the
people are up in the air. as to the NOM
inee, and are awaiting developments.
