C. U. FOR Mr.. LITTLETON.
BACK IN FUSION RANKS.
Nag Sidetrack the Bor-
ough Presidents Boom.

Martin w IittIeton's name will be presented
to the fusion conference Monday night by the
Citizens Union as candidate for Mayor. 1nls
is the understanding in the committee on nom
nations. which met yesterday afternoon in the
office of R. Fulton Cutting No formal an
nouncenent was made When Mr.. Cutting was
asked about the meeting he said:
1--WE decided to resume cooperation with the
other fusion bodies"
'rwir you have candidate at the conference
on Monday night?"
Yes" said Mr. Cutting, that is the UNDER
standing"
Does the Citizens Union still regard John
Ford as an unavailable candidate for Mayor?
"rTI,e resolution of the committee on nomina-
tions saying that he was unavailable has not
beer rescinded by the city committee. A motion
made in the city committee Monday night re-
placing his name on the eligible list was taoled
bv a large majority said Mr.. Cutting.
would that action render him unavailable Tor
a minor nomination on the city ticket? was
asked.
81 cannot any further discuss Mr.. Ford was
the reply.
Senator McCarren called on Mayor Mcclellan
tn talk over the situation. Ever since Mayor
Mcclellan signed the East River gas bill, more
than a year ago. there has been bona OF sym
ra+b1- between him and Senator MCOdITelI' " NO
opposed all the gas legislation in the interest OF
the people at Albany last winter. 1t Is sa1o
that Mayor Mcclellan does not particularly ad-
rore the Brooklyn leader, but Mr.. McCarren as
surnes that because their views on gas are
similar they ought to get on amica bly, and they
do. It was said at the City Hall that Senator
Mccarren laid before the Mayor the proposition
to offer the Controllership nomination to Bor-
ough President LAttleton. and thus prevent the
fusionists from nominating him for Mayor on
the anti-Tammany ticket.
Some of the Tammany leaders are in favor
oP this move and McCarren is willing to make
anv sort of a Geal to carry through his county
ticket and outgeneral the Northumberland men
in Kings.
With Mr. Littleton as a candidate for Mayor
the McCarren men admit that they would be
badly beaten. With him on the Tammany ticket
for Controller they think they might pull
through their county ticket.
After Senator McCarren went away it was
learned that he had talked with Mayor Mcclellan
about the availability Of Herman A. Metz. of
RrookIyn as a candidate for Controller on the
Tamn1any ticket. Senator McCarren picked out
Mr. Metz for the second place on the ticket last
winter Mr.. Metz is a wealthy manufactures,
and his friends are so eager for his elevation 10
place of political prominence that they are
willing to make large contributions to the Tam
many -McCarren campaign fund.

Nearly Burned to Death.

Mrs. James Pritchard, of Liberty
township, had very narrow escape one
day last week, and had it not been for
her great presence of mind she would
probably have burned to death. Mrs.
Pritchard was not feeling we'll and was
sitting close to the fire endeavoring to
get warm. Her dress caught fire, and
before she realized her great danger,
her waist was in flames. She was very
weak at the time and hardly able to
help herself, but she instantly ran to
the door and summoned her son, telling
him to get a blanket. She threw the
blanket about her shoulders and in a
few minutes succeeded in putting out
the fire that was fast enveloping her.
Her dress was entirely ruined by the
flames, but she escaped without any
burns. She is still quite nervous be-
cause of the accident, and is under the
treatment Of DR.. G. L. Lesan.-Mt. Ayr

A casual walk about the residence
portion of our town reveals many we'll
kept lawns and flower gardens at this
time of year. Nothing more surely dis
plays the taste and refinement of the
people than do such evidences of love
of the beautiful. Lord Bacon begins his
classical essay on Gardens with these
words: "God Almighty first planted a
garden. And indeed it is the purest
of human pleasures" And this senti-
ment finds a responsive echo from
the hearts of all lovers of flowers.
Among those whose Iabors are par
ticularly noticeable in results may be
mentioned Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Allen, Mr..
and Mrs. Thos. Teale, Mr.. and Mrs. ].
Hoffhines and Mr.. and Mrs.J M. Chastian.
We mention both man and wife in these
particular families because both have
been seen working together and when
this is the case far more can be ac-
complished than when only one member
of the matrimonial team is interested.
The last mentioned couple have even
extended their flower beds to include
the parking on two side of their fine
new home.
