There was a big attendance of Mont
Gomery county democrats here Yesterday
afternoon, when William L. Marbury of
Baltimore addressed a mass meeting In
the opera house. The party managers
put forth every effort to get out a big
crowd, and they succeeded. Invitations
We're sent to about five hundred of the
more prominent members of the party
asking them to attend the meeting and
be the guests Of the state central COM
m:ttee at dinner at the hotels of the town.
and nearly all of them We're on hand, both
at the dinner and the meeting.
Senator Isidor Rayner had been an
nounced as one of the speakers, but was
unable to be present The meeting was
presided over by Col Spencer c. Jones
of Rockville. who introduced Mr. Mar
bury. Mr.. Marbury confined his remarks
to a discussion of the proposed suffrage
amendment. He began by stating that
negro suffrage had proved to be the most
conspicuous failure of the age, and pro-
ceeded at length to tell why he thought
the proposed amendment should be
adopted.
Mr.. Marbury disclaimed all feelin. of
enmity toward the black man on the
part OF those who are seeking to take
from him the right to vote, and declared
that the negros best friend is the white
man of the south. who wants to see him
advance and improve. He expressed the
opinion that the elimination of the negro
as d POLITICAL factor in the state would
benefit both races
Mr.. Marhury frankly stated that the one
ooJect OF the proposed amendment was to
d1sfranchise the colored man. He denied
that 1t would deprive any white man of
his vote who now exercises that right hut
admitted that all foreigners coming to
this county after the law went into effect
would have to stand an educational test
or own *.co worth of property before
they would be allowed to register
Preceding the meeting a conference of
democratic workers was held.

MALEY LEVY DIED
 OF BLOOD POISONING THE CONCLUSION OF THE coRo-
 NER'S JURY. Testimony Regarding a Deadly Vari-
 ety of Ganerene.

The inquest on the body of Maley died at the Sisters hospital on Sun day morning of blood poisoning re- sulting from a gunshot wound inflicted by accident two weeks before, took place yesterday before Coroner John stone It was uncertain to what eX- tent the inquiry would go and the coroner had been unusually careful in the selection of his jury. which was composed of the following: Ii. J. Me Clung, E. J. Bennitt, $. Oberfelder. M. C. McDougan, c. A. Massie and w. K. James.
 The first witness was Mrs. Rosella Levy of Glendale. the mother of the boy. who related what her son had told her regarding the accident. From that it was understood that a couple of boys in the wagon were scuffling and that the gun was accidentally dis charged.
 But the story of the accident was told by Fred Powell. who was riding in the wagon. and Angles. Angles and Eugene Davis. the latter a thirteen year old boy. were seuffling some dis tance from the wagon. Powell and young Levy were sitting on the wag- on seat with the gun between them. the butt of it resting on the fQotboard. Powell called to the scuffling boys to stop and return to the wagon. When they did not obey he sprapg from the wagon to go to them When he got out the gun slipped off the footbOard. and though it was not cooked the ham mer of 1t struck with such force on the singletree that the weapon was dis charged.
 The testimony brought out the fact that there was some liquor in the crowd and that young Davis had drank of it. He. was asked why he had done so and replied, because he wanted a drink.
 Other witnesses were Fred Levy. a brother of the dead boy, and Sam Bur ris. They were in another wagon in the rear. They only heard the report of the gun and saw the weapon fall to the ground.
 The last witness and the one on whose testimony the form of the yer dict was based was Dr. Win Wylie. who had been called with three other physicians into the case on the after noon following the accident.
 pr Wylie said that they removed the bandage which had been placed an the wounded arm and at once detect ed gangrene; gangrene of the kind that means certain death. They could see the gases bubbling and in this manner it was the opinion of the wit ness and the other physicians that the case was hopeless. There was the slenderest chance for the boy and that lay in the amputation of the arm at the shoulder That was done imme diately for every minute was decreas- ing the already infinite small chance.
 Subsequent to the operation. Dr. Wylie said, he examined the arm and found in the wound pieces of gun wadding. pieces of clothing and sev- eral shot It was to this condition. said the doctor, that the gangrene was traceable. In the opinion of the doc tor it must have been expected.
 The arm had been brought to the in quest but the members of the jury did not care to see it. It was not pleasant thing to look at and beside. iti could add nothing to the statement that Dr. Wylie had made.
