GEN. eRosveNoR BEATEN.
Vetcran Ohio Party Leader Defeated
for RcnOminntion.

The political world received shock
when the Republican convention of the
Eleventh Congressional District of Ohio
refused to renominate General Charles

ure of office as the Sage OF Athens
and "Old Statistics" General Grosve-
nor. who is now serving his tenth term
i'm Congress, is one of the floor leaders
of the House of Representatives. and
while politicians all over the county
knew the veteran had Il contest on his
hands 1t was believed he would be re-
turned. As the district is normally Re-
publican by 10000 the nomination Is
considered equivalent to election.
General Grosvenor belongs to the old
school of politicians. He was born in
1888 and came out of the Rebellion n
brevet brigadier general Of volunteers.
He practiccd law, but politics has been
MS profession for twenty years, and
he soon made wide reputation as one
of the most forceful speakers in the list
Of Republican spellbinders. During the
tNO hNlNihits Sio'
venor made hit by predicting Repub-
lican success, naming the States the
party would carry and guessing the re-
spective plural!ties. These feats won
him the nickname "Old Statistics" In
Congress he is called the Sage of Ath-
ems" as his home is at Athens, o.
Mr.. Douglas, who beat General Gros-
venor is lawyer, 80 years old. and a
good orator. He has dominated the pol
itlcs of Ross County for years. Mr..
Douglas was candidate for the Re
publican nomination for Governor Of
Ohio in 1890, but was defeated. In
1896 he was n presidential elector OH
the Mckinley ticket. Mr.. Douglas is a
graduate of Kenyon College, class of
1872, and Of the Harvard Law School.

Spring trade in
| New York.

duu millinery continues
to show expansion, despite the pres
ence Of winter conditions.
Bank clearings are much smaller,
reflecting decreased stock speculation,
due to dearer money at the metropolis,
a condition which looks artificial in
view Of the growing ease at all other
centers. Collections are fair to good
except in the South, where holding Of
cotton is drawback, as for some time
past. Summed up it may be said that
there are a number of cross-ourrents
visible, but record spring trade ia
apparently all but secured and the fu-
ture crop development will largely
govern fall and winter trade, which as
yet is of small aggregate volume.

A horse belonging to j. Derickson
G. Sons. the grocers in Main street,
and the driver, Walter Wood, OF
Broadway, had a narrow escape from
being struck by a train on the Staten
Island Rapid Transit at the long
crossing in Broadway at z O'Clock
last night. Mr.. Wood was returning
from delivering some goods at the
time and says he did not hear or see
the train until 1t was upon him. This
Is. q dangerous crossing and is pro-
tected by gates. and a bell that rings
on the approach of a train, but the
flagman and gateman goes off duty
after the express passes at $3.50
O'Clock, leaving the crossing unpro-
tected during the night, outside OF
the bell, which Mi, Wood said did not
give him warning sof the approach of
the train. He was about to cross
the track when the train was upon
him. He pulled the horse around SO
quickly as the train went by that he
struck a telegraph pole, breaking the
shafts completely off of the wagon,
and doing other damage so it could
not be used again today. Mr.. Wood
jumped from the wagon and received
a severe shock.

ENFORCJNG SCHOOL, LAW.

There has been a marked decrease
in the number of complaints of the
violations of the child labor law
since the amendment passed at the
last session of the legislature pro-
hibiting boys and girls under sixteen
years of age from working after z
o'clock, that went into effect October
l.. Before that date children were
allowed TO work until 8 o'clock in
factories and as late as 10 O'Clock in
stores and other establishments. This
a~mendement covers every form of
employment for children. The en-
forcement Of the law in factories is
in charge of the State Department of
Labor, while the Board of Health has
charge of all other divisions. Truant
Officer Winant, of the public schools
here, has been the mean of making
the local factories live up to the law
and has returned a number of boys
and girls to school who were under
age. He has also forced them to
comply with the compulsory school
law in making all boys or girls of
school age who are working to at
tend the evening elementary school.
