COUNTY COMMITTEE WILL
MEET SATURDAY
TO NAME A new DATE
For the County Primaries.
Had to be Done.

A call for meeting of the Demo-
cratic central committee of Starl,
county was mailed the members last
night. The meeting will be held at
the Office of Squire Reigner on next
Saturday at p. m. for the purpose
of changing the date of the county

also come before the meeting.
The apportionment Of delegates for
this congressional district gives a to-
tai of 35 state delegates and 1T con-
gressional delegates. OF this number
Stark county will be entitled to 1G
state and SO congressional delegates
Mahoning will have II state and SO
congressional delegates; Columbiana
will have state and AZ congressional
Local politics Is warming up and
the Hearst following will likely adopt
the slogan of Hearst and Harrison for
the national ticket. The Parker men
are also getting together and what was
at first thought to be tame affair will
probably wind up with excitement
enough to remind politicians Of o.A
times.
The selection of new county COM
mittee will be enliyened by the fact
that the new central committee will
have the selection of the Democratic
members of the county board of cleo
tion, and as this board will supplant
the city board the pay will be in
creased to a point that will make the
position prize worth seeking.
Already Emery Osbourne, Of ALI
ance, the retiring member, has been
circulating around securing endorse
ments with view to his reappoint-
ment. The members will .be appoin,-
ed by the secretary of state on the first
Monday of August. according to the
choice made by the executive commit
tee of the parties.
1t was stated yesterday semi official
ly, that Frank Wybrecht of Alliance
will be a candidate for national dele

Mystery Solved.

By her wedding ring and a wart be-
hind her ear, the aged woman who died
at the Emergency Hospital in Washing
ton last Thursday from fractured skull,
received by falling from astreet car, was
yesterday identified as Mrs. Virginia
Scott Hite, of an old Virginia family,
and not Mrs. Maria Wood formerly Of
Alexandria, as was supposed at one time.
The family of the aged woman was once
wealthy. The month previous TO the
accident, which occurred at Sixth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, on August IL,
had been spent with the family of q
former neighbor named Marshall, al
Vernon Mills, near Markham, Fauquier
county. She still owned some property
in Virginia, among her possessions be-
ing three houses in Alexandra. MIS-
Hite had been twice married, both bus
bands being dead. Two daughters, one
by each husband, are living. The de-
ceased was identified by one other daugh'
tiers. Miss Jennie Wharton, by the wedding
ring she wore, which contained the in-
scription, or. E. w. to A. W., Oct. .,
1871" and by the mark behind the ear;
Later, friends visited the morgue and
furthur identified the remains. The
body will be taken to Baltimore for
burial Tuesday. The belief that the
woman was Mrs. Maria Wood, formerly
of this city, arose from a mistake in
identity by Mrs. J. NJ. Hill, who said
that the woman had once been employed
by her, and that one of the woman's
daughters had married a man named
Cartwright in Washington. When taken
to the hospital the woman murmured
something which the authorities under
stood to be Cartwright" and they
though it was her name. The supp0si,
ton now is that she was requesting thai
the authorities write to her agent, Mr.
Garter, living in this city.
