MAY BE JOHN KELLY.
Said to Be on Slate for Deputy Bank
Commissioner.


Through the influence of T. T. Kelly
and Governor E. w. Hoch, it is ru-
mored that John Kelly, the brother of
the ex-state treasurer, and for a time
assistant in the treasurer's office, will
be appointed to a position as deputy
bank examiner under John D. Royce.
Mr. Royce has given out nothing
concerning the appointment, and for
some reason the matter seems to be
hung up on a Snag.
It is understood, however, that Gov
ernor Hoch has expressed a desire to
do something. to show his good will for
Tom Kelly, and Kelly had demanded
the appointment of John Kelly to this
position, which was created at the last
session of the legislature. The job
pays 81, 800 a year and expenses. The
obstacle in the way of the appointment
is said to be the fact that the law re-
quires that those holding the job be
qualified by a certain amount of bank
experience. Kelly has never had any
banking experience.

EDDY SUIT FILED.
Trustees Ask Court to Recognize Them
as Next Friends

Concord. N. H, April "a supple
mental bill in equity called forth by
the recent announcement that the
property of Mrs. Mary Baker G. EDDY
had been transferred to three trustees
was filed in the Merrimack Co. court
today by the original complainants or
next friends" in the suit for an ac-
counting of Mrs. Eddy's property.
The bill filed today is the answer or
the complainants to the motion made
by the defendants last Tuesday that
the three trustees, Archibald McCleI-
Ian, of Boston; Henry M. Baker, of
Bow and Josiah f. Fernald, of this
city, be substituted for the next
friends" and be empowered to prose-
cute the suits against the defendants
in the case who are all prominent
members Of the Christian Science
church.
The answer. in the form of a sup
Elemental petition, asks that the three
trustees be added to the list of de-
PENDANTS on the ground that the trus-
tees are working for the same ends as
the original defendants-that is that
they are unduIy influencing Mrs. Eddy
and managing her property to their
own purposes.
Judge Robert n. chamberlain is
sued an order that all the defendants.
including theuoriginaI defenda hts and
their trusteesJ shall inter- appearance
in court by April Is, to make answer
to the petition filed today. l-%0
The suppler1 entail bill also asks that
the deed of trust be vacated on the
ground that Mrs. Eddy was not compe-
tent to exeeuteait, and that it was1a de-
vice contrived by the defendants to de-
feat the original bill suit.

BATTLE0 WITH SEA.
Steamers Crew Fought Gale for Sixty
Hours.

New York, April with seven of
her crew more or less injured and the
others utterly exhausted. the steamer
Virginia. arrived here today from
Kingston, Jamaica, after a desperate
struggle with a storm of sixty hours
duration off Hatteras.
The Virginia ran into the storm last
Tuesday and from that time until
Thursday it was a constant battle with
the sea. The. wind reached a velocity
CT 60 miles an hour and rain fell in
torrents. At one time six water
spouts were sighted from the steamer s
bridge. An immense wave which
struck the snip about six hours after
she had run into the storm ripped off
the tarpaulins that had been hastily
battened down over the hatch open
ings which had been left without the
heavy covers so as to give ventilation
to the cargo of bananas in the hold.
Galleries. cabins and scuppers were
flooded four feet deep, the rush of
water battering the stewards. sub
merging them to their necks and set
ting everything afioat. One steward
had the arteries of his wrist severed.
Another was badly cut by glass. The
stewardess was thrown about the
cabin and severely bruised.
During the sixty hours which the
storm continued Captain Geich re-
manned continuously on the bridge and
every man was kept at his post.

TONG FIGHT IN
PAILADELPH
One Chinaman Killed and Sew
eraI Wounded Before Riot
Could Be QueIIed.

Philadelphia. Oct. 1S-A fight between
two Chinese IN Chinatown this afternoon
developed into a riot, the rival Tong socie-
ties taking sides. Pistols and knives were
freely used in the crowded quarters.
The police reserves from the tenderloin
districts were hastily summoned and had
great difficulty in queliing the disturb
ance. Many arrests were made. One
Chinaman was killed and several wound
ed. There had been considerable trouble
among the Chinese in their Race street
colony. Before policemen on duty there
today could separate the two men who
were fighting in the streets, Cinnamon
poured from all the houses and free
fight ensued. Pistols were fired from
windows and doorways and knives were
used by those fighting in the street. The
policemen on duty were powerless to stop
the melee and when the reserves arrived
they waded in with clubs and soon the
fighting Cinnamon were on the run. One
helligerent was killed and of the numer-
Gus wounded, two had been injured ser
iously enough to be sent to a hospital.
Wholesale arrests of Chinese are being
made.

danger. The emperor passed a restless
night. being frequently disturbed bv bad
attacks of dry coughing. The catarrhal
symptoms are somewhat worse. the
coughing more frequent and violent, and
there is not sufficient expectoration. In
addition, the patient. as a result of the
bad night was weaker today.

hours daily at his desk. thus asgravafing
his malady. He does not yet realize thaf

FUSION SCHEME
IS NOW BLOCKED
Republican Game Is Upset in
Third, Fourth and Fifth
Precincts.
MUCH MORRIS SENTIMENT
BIG GATHERING OF DEMOCRATIC
LEADERS HELD.

There will be no fusion between the
Democrats and the Republicans on the
councilmanic tickets in the Third. Fourth
and Fifth precincts. This was decided
upon last night BY the unanimous vote
OF more than seventy-five of the best
known Democrats i'm Salt Lake City. The
meeting had been called by City Chairman
AshDy Snow TO discuss matters pertaining
TO the campaign. Every member of the
city committee and all of the ward COM
mitteemen were present. There also were
many of the party leaders.
After a general discussion of the fusion
proposition. with special reference to the
plans under way in the Fifth, a resolu-
ton was offered providing for a re-ref-
erence of the matter TO the Fifth pre-
cinct committee. with a recommendation
that the plans be discontinued. 1t was
announced by members of the commit
tee that the recommendation would be
acceded to, and the Democratic ticket in
the Fifth will contain only the names of
Democrats. This is true also of the Third
and Fourth.
The meeting was far and away the most
enthusiastic Democratic assembage of the
campaign. Such veterans James H.
Moyle, Judge o. w. Powers. Judge w. II.
King. Frank B. Stephens. John Dern and
others were there and their voices were
all raised on behalf of straight Democ-
racy- There were no inharmoniOus notes
in the meeting. The general sentiment
was that the Democrats were gathered
there to do what each man i'm his heart
believed to be for the best interests of the
city and the party.
Some debate was INDUCED in, but il was
all good natured. On minor points some
of the speakers differed with one another.
but all were agreed on important PROPOSE
tons. There was no mistaking the SEN
timent on the matter of fusion in the
Third. Fourth and Fifth precincts. The
leaders were unanimously and decidedly
against il. as was shown in the vote by
which the resolution against fusion In the
Fifth was adopted. A proposition was
made to leave the matter open until this
evening, but II never came to a vote. and
the original motion was adopted with the
greatest enthusiasm
At the conclusion of the talk on the prin-
cipal matter that had caused the assem-
bling of the meeting. Chairman Snow
made a most encouraging talk. Prefacing
his remarks with the statement of his be-
lief that the Democratic ticketA is going
to ne elected and that the Democrats will
be in control of the next city council, Mr..
Snow urged his hearers to go out and
make an aggressive affirmative campaign.
He said that all that was needed to in
sure the election of Morris was a never
say-die spirit.
Others talked along the same line. Re
ports from the canvass were received and
they were all of an entirely encouraging
character The books showed tremen-
dous and constantly growing Morris SEN
timent They showed that in order for
Morris to win the election il was only
necessary to get the voters to the polling
