PLATT FAVORS DWIGHT.
Says He Would Be Satisfactory
Man for State Chairman.

Senator Plstt said last night that Representa-
tive John W. Dwight. of Tompkins County, was
his choice for chairman of the Republican State
Committee. and he predicted that Mr. Dwight. II
chosen for the place. would nest all require
ments.
Senator PIatt returned from Washington In
company with Senator Depew and Mr.. Dwight
When at his Office with reference to the
proposed reorganization Of the State Committee
he said:
There seems to be a feeling all around the
state that the organization should be rejuve-
mated. If some one possessing the required abfl-
ity would take hold II would be easy to put the
organization on better working basis, but the
trouble seems to be that there Is no one who
seems at all anxious TO take hold OF the job"
How about Congressman vreeland7' he was
asked
Mr.. vreeland is a fine mar. but he would not
take the state chairmanship under any circum-
stances"
who would be the best man for the places"
II think that Congressman John W. Dwight
would come as near filing the bill as any one
that could be named" said the Senator. He
has had the experience and he has the capacity
and knowledge OF the needs OF the organization.
I am confident that he would be a good man for
the place"
"Have the Republicans begun 70 consider any
candidate for Governor"
Well" said Mr.. Platt you probably noticed
that the congressman from this state got to-
gether In Washington the other night and there
was some talk OF Hughes for Governor. Wheth-
er that VIM develop INTO 6oorn for ar. hughes
remains TO be seen II is pretty early TO judge
of the real drift OF things at this time"
What is the prospect Of the passage OF
satisfactory railroad rate bin?'
This rate bill for the present IS IN the hands
of our Democratic friends. / don't believe that
any one can predict with any degree OF certainty
just what will happen to the bill before il leaves
the Senate"

LUCY CASE WILL
Be INVESTIGATED
JUDGE FOX WILL INSTRUCT
GRAND JURY TO LOOK INTO
MILTON MURDER.
SUSPECTED MAN MISSING
Authorities Were Watching a Certain
Person Who They Believed Had a
Hand in It-Without Evidence. T..

Although officials claim to have no
evidence in the murder case of Joseph
Lucy, it is thought possible that Judge
Fox will order an investigation of the
crime by the grand jury, when he in
structs that body next Monday morn
ing.
The Lucy case for a time attracted
a great deal of attention, but now
that three months have elapsed since
the murderous assault upon the aged
recluse, public interest is dying out
and the reward of $500 remains I'M
claimed in the hands of o. l.. Beeson,
who was the chief beneficiary of the
dead mans estate.
For time the authorities thought
that they had good reason to suspect
someone, but it now appears that the
man has left the county. A close
watch was kept on his moveme nts,
but nothing discriminating was dis
covered. At the Cambridge City
horse sale, it was thought that the
suspect would possibly buy horse or
in some other way show that he had
more money than he was known to
have, but nothing developed. Since
then, he has left Wayne County and
the officers are as mystified as ever.

its fast schedule and extra heavy

CIVIL DOCKET INCLUDES 112
CASES, MANY OF WHICH ARE
IMPORTANT.
NINETEEN DIVORCE SUITS
Old Case of Richmond VS.. G. r. & !.
Railroad, May Come Up for Trial
Big Damage Suits.

The civil docket for the April Term
of the Wayn Circuit Court has been
prepared by Deputy Clerk Gus Huey,
and contains 112 cases. This num-
Der, with the twenty cases set for
trial on the criminal docket, togeth-
er with the indictments, which may
be found by the grand jury will be
enough to occupy the attention of the
petit jury for several weeks.
The docket is somewhat smaller
than usual, although many of the cas-
es are new ones. There are ten i'm
portant damage suits, with the usual
number of suits on account and for
partition. There are nineteen suits
for divorce, some of them calling for
custody of children, change of name
or alimony. There are also several
appeals.
Two cases of the City of Richmond
VS.. the G. r. e |. and the Pennsylva-
MIA Lines, which have been pending
in the courts for several years, may
be heard this term. There are also
several claims, some of them against
the Bowman estate. The suit of the
Pennsylvania Lines VS.. the c., c. & l..
for Sis 900 on a contract for via
duct in this city, which has been
hanging fire for three years, is on the
docket.
Among tn damage cases that are
important are the following: Jean
nette Sudhoff, administrator of the
estate of John Sudhoff, VS.. the P. c.
c. & st. l.. Ry., for $4,000; Walter S.
Holly, vs. the Pennsylvania Lines for
SIS 900; Estella Parker VS.. the Day
ton & Western Ry., for $4,000; Isaac
E. Parker VS.. the d. & w. Ry, for
5000; Fred Costing VS.. the c., G. &
l.. for $4,000, and <. S. Holder, of
Cambridge City, VS.. the Big Four and
PENNSYLVANIA lines for damage to his
circus.
The suit of C. w. Gem, treasurer OF
the Hokendauqua Tribe of Red Men
VS.. Russell NJ Gay ct al. for bond and
guarnishment will probably come to
trial in the April term. Gay was the
man who drew the winning number in
the lottery of a horse and buggy and
500 check at the Red Mems Carnival
several years ago, but as he did not
present the ticket until after the date
set for it's presentation, the lodge
holds that he should not have received
the prize. Gay has it, however, and
the suit is to recover.
