Advertiser Bureau, Selma. March 27 Hon. A. D. Pitts aud Hon. s. P. Lacy have been nominated for Representa- tive to the Legislature from Dallas County. The question as to who IS the third man nominated in the primaries
 Monday Is still doubtful. But few ad- ditional returns from those learned Monday night were received today and they did not change the aspect of the situation materially.
 It was thought last night that Editor
 Mel had fighting chance for the third place on the ticket along with
 o'Halloran and Kornegay. But nov U is known that he Is out of the running and the third place on the ticket Is be- tween O'Halloran and Kornegay.
 Several large beats in remote parts of the county are yet to be heard rom and who will be the winner cannot be told until these beats have been heard from.
 Hon. A. D. Pitts and s. P. Lacy have won first and second place on the tick- ct and will make Dallas good Repre- sentatives Both received heavy vote | throughout the county

 Many OfIlcers.

Paris. July 26.--An official denial was issued today regarding the rumor that Major Dreyfus had been assaulted yes- terday by a brother officer at the mill tary club. The official statement says:
 denial of the most formal kind Is authorized concerning the incident which It Is rumored occurred last night at the military club during a dinner at which Major Dreyfus was present The facts are as follows;
 According to custom the officers of the first cavalry division gave a dinner to two newly appointed lieutenants and the Minister of War advised the omcers, upon their unanimous request to invite Major Dreyfus. The dinner occurred and was marked throughout by animated sentiments of most per- feet good fellowship. The officers sep- arated towards 9:30 D. m, without the occurrence of anything which could give rise to the rumor put in circula- ton"
 Madame Dreyfus in behalf of her husband and the officials of the mili- tary club added to the denials previous ly given by the Ministry of War The friends of Dreyfus assert that the fn- vention was intended to discredit the Major. The officers who participated in the dinner intimate that they intend to hold an inquiry into the matter In order to disclose the motive leading to the circulation of false rumor relat- ing to the alleged insult.
 An individual today smashed a win dow of the journal in which was ex- hibited a photograph of Dreyfus on Devils Island.

WILLIAM LEE HUNG
MARYLAND's SHERIFF OUTwErS A
 DETERMINED CROWD
The Negro Youth, Convicted of As- saulting Two Women Was HuR- riedIy Executed On Sh0rea of
 S0mersef CounfY.

Cresfield. Md. July 26--William Lee. the colored youth who was sentenced to death in Baltimore three weeks ago for Assaulting two women in Somerset county. was hanged today on Smiths Island in the presence of his adviser and a few witnesses.
 The hanging was orderly. The mob that had threatened to burn Lee at the stake was outwitted by the sheriffs
 Lees crime created unprecedented excitement throughout the eastern counties of Maryland and for weeks the popular fury was such that Gov eruor Warfield deemed 1t prudent to have him confined in the Baltimore city jail as a protection from mob violence. As further precaution. though it was necessary to carry out the sentence of law In Somerset eoun- ty, the scene of the crime, the exact place of execution was kent secret. even from those who were to accom- pany the sheriff and culprit as dep- uties and witnesses.
 To carry out this purpose Sheriff Brown appeared in Baltimore yestcr- day afternoon late, placed his prison- CT aboard a steamer of the Maryland oyster navy and immediately sailed down the bay. He took with him q rullows from Baltimore county and also a coffin, and was prepared to hang Lee on the deck of the vessel after reaching the waters or Somerset coun- tv should there be any signs of mob on shore.
 At an early hour this morning the steamer appeared off Smiths island, The prisoner was speedily taken ashore and the scaffold quickly erected bv A carpenter who had hecn brought from Baltimore for that purpose. Tho culprit, accompanied bv hls spiritual advisers, was led up the scaffold. the moose was adjusted and tho execution was quickly over.
 Lee confessed his crime.

 Fund Law.

New York. July a6.-The Executive Committee which is In charge of ar- engagements for a reception to be given to William J. Bryan at Madison Square Garden on August 30. made public to- day a portion of a letter written by MT. Bryan to Alexander Troup eof New Haven, the treasurer of the commit tee, concerning the method of securing funds for the reception. Mir. Bryan wrote in part as follows:
 ''The.e will be some expense and the committee must see to 1t that no money is accepted from questionable sources; in fact, think 1t would be well to announ that the expense would be borne by popular subscrip- ton. dollar subscriptions being prefer able, but that larger subscriptions would be received up to $50, none be- ing received over that.
 Also announce that subscriptions of s5 or more than $5 would be entered in a book and the names given to any one desiring them. Subscriptions of less than S5 would not be known with out the expressed consent Of the sub- scribers.
 say that the reception will be as inexpensive as possible and that any surplus over and above the ex- pensss ot the reception would be used to print and circulate the speeches delivered at the reception.
 T think the publication of the sub scriptlons is important. Tho Repilb- llcans have failed to pass any effective law in regard to the campaign contri- buttons and this will be a good re- buke to them and will foreshadow the adoption of such policy by our next campaign committee.
 "You can say If you like that l asked to have this plan adopted" |"
 The Executive Committee held It's first meeting today. Norman F. Mack of Buffalo presided. Charles F. Mur- phy and John Fox of New York and D. R. Francis of Missouri were elected members.

DRAFT AMENDED.
Eight Hour Law on Government Work
 fs Modihed-

Washington, July 2s.-The 6nai draft as Issued to the service of the order by Brigadier General crozier, chief of ordnance, relative to the enforcement of the eight hour law in the case of contractors shows hn ini- portant modification in one po!at ss compared with the draft origipally prepared and published In the press a few days ago
 In the first draft the Secretary Of War is said to have decided tAas # was the duty of ordnance officers to prevent the violation of the eight hour law. notwithstanding the opiaion of the attorney general published .n gen eral order 62. of 1892"
 In fact it appears that there is req son to doubt whether that opinion warranted the construction thus placed on IL so on that point the mod ified order reads "notwtihstanding the previous interpretation of their duty in this regard"
 Acting secretaryoliver with the view the highest authority within reach of the executive and secur- mig uniformity of application or the eight hour law in the various branches of the government has called upon the attorney general Tor the construction of the law SC far as IL relates to government contractors.
