SENATOR MARTINS REPLY.

Before leaving Richmond yesterday
afternoon for Accomac county, where
be will speak tomorrow and Thursday,
Senator Martin gave out an interview
in which he stated his reasons for de-
clining to discuss the issues of the
campaign with Congressman Jones.
He said:
L notice that Mr.. Jones, in speech
at Staunton Monday night, referred to
my appointment to speak in Stanton,
and told his audience that he chal-
lenged me to meet him in joint de-
bate, and offered to pay for the Opera
House for the occasion.
Il will not comment Oh. Mr. Jooes'S
bad taste in volunteering to pay for
the opera house. When want the
opera house I will pay for it without
assistance. When Mr.. Jones was in
dulging in this exploitation of himself
be knew very we'll that / would not
under any circumstances have joint de-
bate with him. His language and con-
duct in my campaign IL years ago
were such that I have not spoken to
him from that day to this. and his
offensive and unjustiiable language
during the present campaign has but
itensifed the purpose which has con-
trolled me for the last II years, and
that is not to extend him any sort of
recognition"
Senator Martin said he gave the
public interview so all would know his
reasons for refusing the challenge to
debate.

Yesterday mornings session OF the
Camorra trial was entirely taken up
with the testimony of a carabineer who
contradicted the statements made at
previous hearings by members OF the
secret society now being tried for the
murder of Genarro Cuoccolo and his
wife. By his straightforward recital of the
evidence collected against the prisoners
the Gardiner made q favorable i'm
preston on the jury. He said that
the priest, Giro Vitozzi, was an active
member OF the Camorra, spending
most his time among the criminals who
frequented Castellammare, During
his deposition the carabiueer said al
though Tomasso de Angels "a witness
for the crown, but charged by the de-
tense with being one OF the actual
murierers of the Cuoccolos) had a
long criminal record when provided
with work through the carabineers he
had behaved honestly.

MECHANISM 0F.THE WATCH,

Few pieces of machinery show more
marvellous features than that of the
watch AS a general proposition it
may be stated that watch is the
smallest. most delicate instrument of
the same humber of parts that has ever
! been devised. More than 100 different
pieces of material enter into its con-
struction, and upwards OF 2, 400 separate
operations are comprised 10 its manu-
facture.
Certain of the facts connected with
its performance are almost incredible
when considered as whole A black
smith strikes several hundred blows on
his anvil in day and as matter of
course is glad when Sunday comes, but
the roller jewel of watch makes every
lay-and day after day-43, 200 i'm
pacts against the fork or 157, 6S0,0
blows during the course of a year with
out stop or rest-or some 3,l53, $780,
600 blows during the space of 20 years,
the period for which watch is usually
guaranteed to keep good time.
But the wonder OF 1t does not cease
here. 1t has been calculated that the
power that moves the watch is equiya
lent to only four times the force used
in hea's jump. The watch power is
therefore what might be termed the
equivalent of four hea-po8er. One
horsepower would suffice to operate
27O. GOO. 600 watches.
Furthermore the balance wheel of g

GORMAN VICTORIOUS.
The Organization Slate in Maryland
Wins Yesterday by Large
Majority.

The primary election in Maryland
yesterday-the first direct statew dc
primary ever held in the state-re'
suited in the nomination. OF Arthur P
German for Governor, Emerson c.
Harrington for Comptroller, and Ed
gar Allan Poe for Attorney-General
Ia Baltimore, the organization slate
from top to bottom went through by a
tremendous majority, every organiza'
ton candidate, except j. Albert
Hughes, running far ahead Of his OPP
ponent. There were some big surprises
in the state returns and not until long
after midnight was Germans victory
certain. Senator Lee, his opponent,
made a remarkable showing and gained
the votes of counties that had been
counted solidly for German. The fight
was in many ways an unprecedented one
and it was the>28 votes OF Baltimore
city that saved Mr.. German from de-
feat. He swept all four OF the legisla-
tive districts in that city by majorlties
greater than those given Mayor Preston
in the spring primaries, but lost coun-
ties on the Eastern Shore and in South
ern Maryland upon which he had
counted.
There we're no contests Of importance
on the republican side. Their state
ticket, consisting of Phillips Lee Colds
borough for governor. ]. H. Cunning
hame for comptroller, and Morris Soper
for encouragement, was agreed upon
without contest, and the republican
vote in the primaries was accordingly
very light.
Although the democratic factional
fight was very bitter, so far as the
politicians were concerned, the vote
both in Baltimore and in the counties
was much lighter than expected. The
count Of the ballots in the county dis
tricts is very slow, as some of the bal
lots contain nearly 100 names. Many
voters did not attempt to mark for all
the candidates, but only voted for the
head of the ticket.

This new style Of Dress" Mr..

permit of free action for the limbs and
will be far more graceful in the way it
falls from the hips. The aristocratic

dress in simple, quiet fine style, in-
stead OF the extreme and foolish style
OF the past two years.
ACurved lines will again come into
fashion. Straight lines will be dis
carded, and no matter how much like
a string bean women may appear,
her costumer will make her look round
