| The funeral of Mr.. Halle Maus Spencer,
who died in Washington of an affection of
the lungs after a long issless, took place
yesterday from the late residence of the de-
ceased in Rockville, a very large crowd at
tending. The services were conducted by
VI.
Church South, and the interment was in
Rockville cemetery. The Rockville lodge of
Masons, of which organization the deceased
had long been member, attended in body
and at the grave took charge of the serv-
ices
The declaration of Senator Isdor Rayner
against the Poe DISTINGUISHING amendment
created quite a sensation in political circles
in this county. Montgomery county is one
of Senator Rayner's political strongholds
His friends are in control of the organiza-
ton, and the ticket now in the field is of
| their choice. The senator's leading friends
| have declared for the amendment, and Mr..
| Rayner's deliverance Is necessarily a serious
| embarrassment to them. The attitude of
| Mr.. Rayner appears to have increased the
| confidence of the republicans of the county
| In their ability to roll up a majority against
| the amendment. There is no telling what
| may happen in this county on November T.
| The situation is complicated, and it Is be-
| ieved that the accommodating embarrass-
ments of the democrats will greatly aid the
| republicans in the election of their county
| ticket 1t is rumored that several promi-
| nent county democrats are opposed to the
DISTINGUISHING scheme, and that at least
| two of them will publicly declare themselves
| within the next few days. The opinion is
| growing that the county will register ma
| jority against the measure.
