o A CANDIDATE.
Senator Fulton Will Not Return
to the Legislature.

Friends Of State Senator NJ. ]. Fulton,
who represents the counties of Clarke,
Page and Warren, state that he does not
now contemplate being n candidate for
reelection this fall. Mr.. Fulton has rep
resented the district for four years, and
has made an excellent reputation by his
legislative service. He has a law office
in this city. where his partner. Hon. d.
G. O'Flaherty is located, while Mr. Full
ton looks after the Front Royal office of
the firm. The Senator is averse to be-
coming a candidate this fall when, for the
first time the entire membership of the
Senate will be chosen.
In the event Senator Fulton adheres to
his purpose to retire from legislative ser
vice. it is considered likely that Colonel
r. r. Leidy. of Luray, vii lbe a candidate
for the nomination. Colonel Leidy is COM
mander of the Seventy-second Regiment
of Infantry recent yorganized, and Is
a wei known lawyer of Page county. So
far as known no other name has been
mentioned.

DISCUSS REMOVAL
FROM CARY STREET
Fruit and Produce Association to
Hold Meeting Tonight at
T. P. A. Headquarters.

In the meeting tonight of the mem
to be held in. the Travellers Protective
Association headquarters. at Third and
Main Streets, the most important matter
to come up will be the much-mooted
question of moving from Cary Street TO
some other location. where the facilities
for both dealer and marketmen will be
improved. and where disadvantages at
present experienced on Cary Street will
no longer be had. 1t is expected that a
special committee appointed by the assoc
citation Will submit its report tonight.
The matter has been talked of in the
past, but it was thought by many that
the dream of the produce merchants
would never be realized. Now, however.
the merchants have taken it up with
serious intention, and it has been re-
solutely decided, so it is stated, hat the
change to some other location must be
made.
The fact of the matter is that Cary
Street presents many disadvantages and
inconvenience with which the merchants
are determined to put up no more. The
street is entirely too narrow: traffic is
always congested, and the lower part of
the street Is crowded with % nondescript

possible for the merchants to carry on
their trade with the proper facilities
they should have for the produce bust
ness.
Drayage during the last twelve months
has increased 30 per cent, and the street
is constantly thronged with all sorts of
vehicles carting various kinds of truck.
The largest tobacco warehouses in the
city are c~ongregated here, and large
wholesale houses are also much in the
way of the produce-dealers. The mer-
chants are very much dissatisfied with
the conditions existing on Cary Street,
and some. important decision will in all
likelihood be arrived at during the meet
ing tonight.
The idea is to nave some capitalists
build suitable houses on upper Broad
Street, or some other desirable street,
where the conditions will be much better
