STATE REPUBLICAN
CHIEFS COMING HERE TO
BLOCK FACTION FIGHT
District Leaders Outside of
Philadelphia and Allegheny
Eager to Avoid Clash in
Organization
WbLD PLACATE PENROSE
tn-Stnle political tcndcra will flock to
Philadelphia this nftcrnoon unit tomor
row and will attempt to prevent a fac
tional flRht In tlie Stnto tills year.
Tito nttltudo of tlie district lenders of
tile Republican Organization outside of
Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties has
completely shifted durlhK tho last 10 days.
The county leaders who swarmed Into
Ketiutor Penrose's offices In the Com
nlerclnl Trust Building two and three
Weeks ago, enthusiastic for a factional
contest, have had what thoy called "sober
second thought." and, Instead of Urging
Penrose to accept the challenge of Uov
entor Brumbaugh and the Vares, they
nro now making a stroi s effort to per
sunde the senior Senator that ho should
"get together" with the Governor and the
Vnrcs, and agree to a. hnrniony slato on
delegates and tho Ktnto ticket.
Itarmony has not been brought about
as yet, how-over, and there Is a grave
probability that a "lovo feast" cannot be
staged now. slnco Senator I'enroso ban
permitted matters to rtrlft Mr since thf
Governor's "BD-uO" slate of delcgntes-iit-largo
to the Chicago convention was an
nouticed. Tho Senator has made n deflnlte prom
ise, to support Stnte Senator Charles A.
Snyder, of Schuylkill, for tho Itepubllcan
nomination for Auditor rieneral, accord
ing to Snyder's backers. I'rlcnds of
Speaker Charles A. Ambler, of Mont
gomery, who also has announced his can
didacy, assert that Ambler has been as
sured of the support of the Governor find
the Vares In a contest against Snyder. ,
one or both of these candidates must
withdraw from tin contest If harmony Is
to be brought about, slnco the leaders
of tho Organization admit that a light
over omo olllce will extend clear down
tho line, and Include every olllce to bo
filled at the coming election. Both Sny
der and Ambler are asserting dally, how
ever, that they are n tho race to the
end.

of a municipality In keeping Its streets In
repair, according to an opinion handed
down today hy Judge Trexier, of tho Su

The decision sustains a verdict obtained
by Amelia Mellmer and her husband, John
C Kcllincr. against the ltlngllng Brothers,
trading as Barnum & Bailey's Greatest
Show tin Kiutli.
The accident to .Mrs. Sellmer occurred
while she was attending a performance
of the circus In this city several years
ago,
Before the woman could bring suit the
circus left town and did not return again
until almost two years had elapsed, and
Just on tlie day before the claim for
damages would have lapsed because of
the operation of the statute of limita
tions. A. T. Ashton. representing tho In
jured woman, filed a foreign attachment
against the show.
According to Mr. Ashton. Mrs. Selmer
was dfi.ceiidhig the nlslo from her seat
after show, when she stepped on tlie end
of a board used for one of the seats. The
board, which was not securely fastened to
tho one over it, sank beneath her weight

i:.ci;ss VALUATIONS.
Another iiii.s-up results from tho state
ment of tho Board of Itevlsion of Taxes
that the assessed valuation returns are
In excess by $1,000,000, and. therefore,
$70,000 must be deducted from the bor
rowing capacity. This amount Is, mo .small
as nowise to alTect the loan, although the
total agreed upon would seem to exceed
the borrowing power by figures submitted
yesterday. The present draft Is not re
garded as ihial and Is subject to revision
along it number of lines.
One of the defenses set up was that the
plaintiff had failed to prove that the clr- I
cum owners lin.il any notice that the noarus
on which she stepped were loose and un
safe. This absence of knowledge would
have been a good defense, the Court says,
by the city in the case of a person Injured
on a defective sidewalk, but tho same rule
does not apply In the case of tho proprie
tors of the circus, whero the patrons nre
charged admission.
