SATED BY A GIRL'S SCREAM The Daughter of William J. Davis Has a Startling Experience. FOUND IN A FAINT BY HER FATHER The Prisoner Detected by the Prints of Bis Hobnail, fehoes. STOLEN JEWELRY IN HIS POSSESSION The Allegheny' police made a 'capture last night which they think will prove an important one William Reese, a mill- i worker, .residing on Cass avenue, was ar rested and to-day charges of burglary and arson will be entered against him. The in- r formation on, which the arrest was made only-reached the police officials yesterday morning, although the double crime had been committed the previous night, and with -only a. faint clue on which to work Detective HcDonough had Reese locked up early, in the evening. Tne evidence against him seems conclusive, as some of the stolen jewelry was found on his person when cipturtd. " On Saturday.night the house of William J. Davis, "of GOlcClnre avenue, was robbed and set on fire. The family had not retired, it being only1 9 o'clock. Disappeared in the Xiarkncss. Mr. Davis' 16-year-old daughter had gone to her room on the third floor, the balance of the family beine in the sitting room be low. A moment alter she went upstairs the young lady was heard to shriek. The heavy foo'tfall as of a man running along the hall was heard immediately after. Mr. Davis ran quickly to his daughter's rescue, but as he reached the foot of the stairs a man bounded past him aud escaped out of the front door. Mr. Davis followed, but the fugitive had disappeared in the dark ness. In the meantime the family had rushed upstairs and were horrified to find that part of the house filled with smoke and the young lady lying unconscious on the floor of her room. The smoke was issuing from a cup board in her room, and when the door was opened flames leaped up from a quantity of paper and husks on the floor. Mr. Davis managed to extinguish the blaze with a few bnckets of water, and then turned his atten tion to resuscitating his daughter. Confronted by a Burglar. "When she regained consciousness she told her story: "As soon as I ojiened the door ot my room the smoke rushed out in my face, and as 1 turned to give the alarm I saw a man coming out of the spare room at the end of the hall. I screamed and ran into my room. An instant later I heard the man run by the door. He was dressed like a working'man. and.though I onlv saw. him lor an instant, I am sure I would know him if I saw him again." "When Detective McDonough was de tailed to look up the case yesterday morn ing he examined the premises carefully, and lound that the burglar had effected an entrance through a back window by prying open the shutters with a iinimv. He also learned that a valuable pair of earrings and a gold lob chain had been stolen. A num-s ber of drawers and trunks had been ran-a racked. Tracks made by a man weating No. 7 hobnailed shoes found in the yard in front and rear of the house were the clews lo the burglar's identity, except the meager de scription of him'given by Miss Davis. The detective finally decided that Reese was the man and placed him under arrest. "When searched at the police station the stolen earrings were found sewed up in the lining of the prisoner's trousers. "When closely questioned be confessed that he had been in Mr. Davis' yard, but denied being in the houre. How he happened to have the Etolen jewelry he could not explain, nor could L: tell why he had been about the Davis house. He says that he was accused of robbing the boarding house of Mrs. Lewellen, of Chartiers, ot 570U about a year ago and of alterward setting the house on lire, but says that he was cleared ot the charge. It is believed that Reese is the man who has been doing the petty thieving in the neighborhood of McClure avenue for the past three orfour months.

THE SCALErDECLABED'OFF. - Plate Glass Manufacturers Agree 'to Ms agree Prices Have Fallen Not Afraid -or-Tarlff Tinkering Firms Jealous or Each Other.1 About a month ago the plate class. manu facturers of the United States met in Pitts burg for the purpose of asreemg on a plan to limit production. All admitted that prices had been ruinously cut, the market had been overstocked, and business was bad. A committee was app'oitSted con sisting of a representative" from each factory to determine tho sacrifice that the .majors individually, should stand. The time fixed for the partial shutdown was January L4 - Now it Is ,learned from good authority that the manufacturers couldn't agree' and alt negotiations are off. The difficulty was that each was Jealous of lrts own and afraid the other lellow would set the best of the deal. One manufacturer stated yesterday, that he supposed they would continue to' noou tne lnaritec as in mo past: anu it wnniu be the survival or the fittest. Tho weakest factories will go to the wall. It appears that the cipaclty of the coun try is not equal to the production of plate glass. The time was when J. D. Fold & Co., of this city, weie the magnates in the busi ness. For j ears their profits wetolargeand thev branched out extensively, building several now factories, the one at Ford City boing the latest and inost modern. The He Pauus, in Indiana, were their piinclpal competitors. With the dlscov oi y of natural ga, the plate, w ith other glass industries commented to boom at a lively ratej in the Pittsburg district. Then strips bf gas terri toiy were discovered In Indiana, nnd the Crystal City. Kokomo, and other plate glass plants woio built. Then came In lurid succci-sitn tho big (hailrrol plant and the little one it Iiwm. Previous to this the Howard and Butler factories had been erected. The production- increased so rap idly that the consumption could not keep pace with it. Tho total output of the coun try is now about 15,000,000 leet annually, and the imputations ar 2,000,000 yearly. The imports, however, aie being rapidly le duced, without much assistance trom the tariff, and it is cieditable to the Yankee manufactuiers. The pi ice of plate glass, as everybody knows, has" dropped from the fancy figures of a few j cais aao to a reason blc rate, almost within tho limit of the poor man's reach. If the leduction in price con tinues it will soon be as cheap as w lndow glass, but such an event la not possible in the natural order of things. The deliberations of tho manufacturers at the Pittsburg meeting were suppressed, out they weie in session two days and earnestly conferred about tho plethoric cbudttloft'of the trade, it is claimed that the production Is 200 pots ahead of the consumption. The problem was to chut down that number aud apportion them between the manufactories according to their capacity. Thu, ir n plant had 60 pots in operation, one was to be stopped; if thcro eioJ20, then two should be closed. This seemed fair enough, but It appears some of the smaller manufacturers wanted to be rated a good deal higher than they yveie. Ouo fac tory, lor instance, had '-0 pot, but its ma chinery w as hulit to handle the output of B5. The owners wanted to bo lccknned in the deal as having tJO pots, or tney wouldn't play. The others would not agree to this arrangement, and it can easily be seen why nothing was accomplished.. Some of the manufacturers have not yet given up, nnd they hope to see the sliutdo'wji go iuto effect January 1, as originally intendeds . Anothei thing that woi ries the plate glass raen Is a possible induction of the tariff. It will be seen, theierore, that others besides the tin nlaio makers are apniehensivo on this scoie. Certainly the success of the Democrats hasn't contributed- one iota to make the manufacturers feel com ortable. Tho duty on plate jflass has remained the same lor neuily 30 yeats. The man ufacturers told Major McKlnley that they could get along with what protection fhey had. One of the Dlate glass men remniked the other dav that he was not afraid of Democratic tariff tinkering. If necessary lie is willing to ap pear before the Way b and Means Committee and explain the condition of tnelr business. Kemoving the tariff on p'ate glass would not help tho poor m in, and he is the ono Urover Cleveland and his followers have promised to relieve. For this reason be is content to believ o that the duty on plate glass will, not he disturbed. THE HOLIDAYS APPB0ACHIKG. The Postofflce and Express Companies Bushed With Christmas Business.

President Garland, of the Amalgamated Association, with other offlcials'of the order in the Sixth district, has been conferring la Yonngstowu'with the officers of the Ma honing Valloy Iron Company for the past 'ten days. The question of classifying the mill was settled last week. Satuiday Mr. Garland roturned to Youngstown to arrange a scale.

TASTOES' ANNOUNCE THEIR POSITION The social evil agitation which has oc cupied "public attention in this city so ex clusively lor nearly a week past was given a -rest by city officials yesterday. Mayor Gourley having issued his letter of instruc 'tiousimregard to the legal suppression of the evil, spent the day quietly at his home and 'declined to give the snbject further 'discussion for the time being.

"I have nothing to say on that subject to-day," said he, rather frigidly. A mo ment later he was called away and the in terview -was over. Police Superintendent O'Mara has changed his mind about attending the Prison Congress which opens in Baltimore to-day. He will not take part in the pro ceedings. Owing to the unsettled condi tion of affairs in his department he has de cided to remain at home for the week, though he 'expects to go to Chicago next Saturday or Sunday. But it the officials would not talk on the subject it was not permitted to die by the ministers. In probably 23 per cent of the churches of the city it was the theme of discourse in -one pbnso or another. The texts of mauy of the divine's had been pre viously made public with the lesult that the pews weie well filled. At two or three churches tho eveningsorvices were nttended by some of the vety outcasts whose salva tion or other dispo-ition has been the sub ject of so much discussion, but they were attired so modestly and their deportment was so correct that their"ldcntity was not suspected. A CASE FOR THE COURTS. Kev. Dr. McCrory Says the Proscribed "Women Should Be Arrested and Tried Unlawful to Turn Hordes of Them Upon the Streets Christ and Sinners. At the Third U. P. Church last evening a large audience gathered to hear Bev. Sr. McCrory preach upon the attitude of Christ aad His followers toward sinners repentant and unrepentant The preacher said: "There has been a great evil existing in this city ajid It has now come to a crisis. It was found that the offi cers of the Jaw were nursing this evil, but finally through the Interposition of some newspapers and 'the minis tois of tiro gospel the Mayor was led to do his duty. This community has never heard so much ADout tfie attitude of our blessed Master to sinners repentant and unrepentant as In the past fow davs, and that shall be my attitude. Although Jesus Chi 1st is the triend of sin ners. He was the uncompromising enemy of sin. as is shown when He exclaimed: 'Ye serpents, ye generation ot vlpeishow can you escape the damnation or hell!" "Josus'cnn do nothing Xor men in their sinning except pity them. We believe that righteousness should be maintained and sinners punished. Unconditional surrender to righteousness Is the only terms we can Offer: sinners.' ttiS' preaClifcr tQen'spoko of the Church's attitude toward sinners, both prdpentant and unrepentant, -using -as -an illustration inn noma'.i wno tnrewperseic 'down before "Christ and breaking the box of rare ointment's ponied it over His ttet and wiped them with her disheveled h tir. "Jesus turned to the woman," continued Dr. McCrory, "andsaid, 'Woman, thy sins are forgiven thee. Go in peace.' She was prepared, to lead-n lieiv lno. There is an utter disparity between this and the case In this city recently wbeie the police enfoiced the law and closed the houses of Ill-repute. Yet sucli a comparison has been made. "What comparison is there between this woman and tbebrazen wretches of this city demanding support in their damnable .course! On account of the btand I havo taken in-the mutter I have been contrasted with the Lord Jesus. It is not only myself who ought to be Indignant, but every Chris tian nran and woman In the city." Hei e the minister spoke of the two thieves who weie crucified, with Christ oa Mount .Calvary. One was forgiven while the other missed awav In sin. "Christ could just as twell set-fhe' other one free also," said Mr. 'Jucirroiy, 'ust tue samo as cuuiu uave au uiitted the women into my house who de manded an entrance in a way that, was simply devilish. Yot Christian people rue denounced because we say of criminals tu.it their place is behind the bars;- because s wo say that it is not oar duty to protect and leert them, but to mrest and punish them. "It was unnai donable and unlawful lor the officers of this city to turn loosa on the street hoidesof these women. They should have b;en arrested aud tiied. There was not one woman of these w ho came to see meat my home Dut there weie 50 or 75. They all had papers in their hand beating. my address, which they said w as .lvcu themut the police department. The object of this was to pre clDltato trouble between theso women and Christian society. Tnis case is for tho coui t of Justice. We navo nothing to do with It." Mr. McUrory ended hU sermon by aiiylng, "I am nocnfrald to stand on tho position I havo assumed before the Christian world, and I am not afraid to stand upon this posi tion betoie my God." THE EHD OF A WICKED LIFE. The Sinful Heap tho Just Iieward and Bit ter Kesults of Their Evil Ways. Eev. George T. Street, pastor of tho Mr. Washington Baptist Church, pleached yes terday lrom Komans M 21. He said: "The apostle Paul In speaking to these Homan men and women, and showing by contrast what they had been, and what they now were by profession, was urging them toper severoin the now life, which they had as sumed. Ho asked them to. look back upon their old career whorein sin had reigned in their moitul bodies In which they had obeyed the lusts theieof. Ho fuithor asked them to consider the results of that career, and called their attention in the language of the text to the fruitage of such a life. What result? That Is tho practical test that every man Is bound to nsk his lite, lor that will mainly determine upprovU or repudia tion. ; ' ' The law of tho harvest "whatsoever a mau sows that he shall also leap,' Is tne law. of a. progressive me. rue sowing ot an ioruis or vice must liav e Its legitimate and necessary Harvest.

The reaping of corruptions, the abandonment-of manhood, tho barter of all noblo aspirations, the end is death." ON THE KAYOS' HAND ATE. Bcv.Dr. Sands Asks Consideration for tho Bcspectablo Majority. At tho Seventh U. P. Church last evening the pastor, Bev. J. D. Sands, took 'lor his subject, "The Messages of the Bible to Judges and Magistrates." Mr. Sands said that the law, according to tho Bible, was the people's schoolmaster, and should be fol lowed not only by the community, but by the Judges and, (maglst rates as well. The great trouble nowadays was that a judge or magistrate fieqaently allowed sympathy to come botween him and the proper enforce ment of the law. Or, in other wo jds, appeals for mercy to a magistrate were often put in such strong language as to make him lail in his dnty. - . "Ot course it is pretty hard," said the min ister, "for a Judge to say to the prisoner at the bar, 'I will give you eight or ten years in tho penitentiary,' or 'yonare to be hanged by the neck until you are dead,' but If the prisoner merits such punishment it is not the judge's fault that it is severe. He Is only following the course laid down for him by the law." Mr. Sands further showed that Justice was often tempered with mercy when it should be Just tho reverse. Dnrlng his talk he re ferred to the recent order issued by Mayor Gourler closing all disorderly houses in this city. He said It was estimated that 3,000 women weio deprived of homes by the man date, and on this account u great-deal of sympathy was expressed on all sides. In expi esslng sympathy many forgot that these women only represented a small fraction of the total population of the city, .which is placed at 210,000 souK The latter, many of whom weie leading upright, Christian lives, weie entitled to some .consideration, and should have a voice In the matter when It came, to a question whether the city should tolerate disorderly houses or not. , A SUDDEN SPASM. Bev. E. It. Donehoo Does Not'Expcct Any Result From tho Present Crusade ITants-a Change of Municipal Ofacers The Position of the Church. Itev.'E. JL Donehoo, of the Eighth Pres byterian Church, in' his sermon yesterday spoke of the recent move against the social evil. ' He said: "As to the sudden spasm' of -virtue which-has lately seizid our publio officials, I can only say that from past ex perience in the study of municipal jnethods of dealing with this" evil, I have little hope of any permanent reform ever coming from that quarter. Until the mornl and Chris tian sentiment of this city sweeps the entire lot of city ofliclals out of power, and places in their stead men who will not require to be spurred up to duty, and who will not prove themselves to be tho apologists and defenders of the evil which has grown to such gigantic proportions under tbeir fos tering care, this Iniquity will continue to growlu strength and sbnmlessness. "And what o" these fallen ones over whom so marly crocodile tears are now being shed by those who have never been distin guished for any great amount of zeal In any uioralr or social roformT I believe that every Christian worker In this city, lay and clerical, stands ready and anxious to follow the example of the Lord Jesus in dealing with this question. His wont was to leceive tho penitent, accept her confession of sor row for sin, .and aid her in her resolves to lead abetter life.' As to tho caso of the woman taken in herein, ot which so much is made by those who quote It in opposition to any coercive measures being used against persistence in a Hip of shame, I liuvo this to sav thattllat story has seen Its best days. It is wholly apocryphal, an interpolation made by somes-meddler with Scriptures, centuries after the "writer of John's gospel had gone to the New Jerusalem, as all rec ognUed authorities on Biblical criticism now admit. Even if it did belong rroperly to Scripture it does not justify the condon ing ofthc sin, as many would now like us to believe, but simply that Jesus didnotieel called upon to assume the prerogatives of a tuagistrate and pass Judicial, sentence on woman. His admonition to "her Is clear that heicgaided her past life as a sin. which w ould be punished in due time and that by hiuisejf, as the sovoieign Judge, unless she sinreiely repented and turned from it. "Jesus Christ lecelved sinners, and coun seled and admonished all who afforded Iliui the opportunity, and the Church of Christ to-duy is cot satisfied to do less. That Ho ever intruded hlimielf into unwelcome places I nowhere read. He had too much delicacy, nnd too much good sense to at tempt any absurd and impracticable metuod. The Church of. Christ is leady and willing to-aumonish and assist all who will take the opportunity to abandon a life of sin, but Christians are not prepared to Intrude into the abodes of vice una force their counsels upen those who pursue their iniquities with unbldsbing elfroutiy. Until the malisners of the Cuuich can cue u single, case of u'sincerelv penitent one being scoined and cast out when seeking counsel and help from G od's people, they ought to ,keep quiet, especially when it is remem bered that the bulk of these ciltlcisms emanate from those who personally con tribute to the depiedations of these fallen ones, and.who deploie any nieasdre looking to any curtailmout of the soolal evil. U ntil these abandoned ones exhibit some desire to quit their lives of shame we can pnly declare unto them these sad and regretful "wbTiis of the suffering Savior' ana In His name, 'Ye will not coma unto Me, that y'o might have Jite.'" "" TO THE duiCASTS. '. j" , Kev. J. A. Hoyden Explains fthe. Duty of the Church. f he Duty of tfie Church to the Oritcasts." wasthe'subject of Eev". J. A. Boyden's ser mon at the Grace Presbyterian Church last evening. He said: , "The duty of the Church Is to apply the Gospel remedy In dealing Svltli the erring. Back or the enforcement of human, law against evil, as was seen in our city a fow days aro, there should be un earnest effort made bv nil Christian people to do something to leclaim those who havo gone astray. The attempt to piohibit the immoral traffic which lias flourished in our community Is piaiseworthy, nhd ought to tecelve the sup port of alt good citizens. Vice has flaunted Itself in the face of the upright people in our midst, spteading moial contagion, until the righteous sentiment of the city de manded its suppieASlon. It hits been 'allotted Ho flourish under tlio guise of a necessary evil by public officials who are charged with the responsibility of piotect ingtha liie and morals of ourselves, our sons nnd daughters. "We are confronted with a condition so anomolous, that it makes the careless stop 'and think, and causes the sober and upright citizms to stiutle. Yea, even shudder, when, considering tho proportions which the social evil has assumed. It is not enough to thrust the inmates of immoral hposbs iuto the streets, and hold them op to public scorn, but it is the duty of the Church to help them to begbi life anew. I do not think i. the dutyKH the church to pledge it self to ertct costly mansions, where they can enjoy lite in ease. orisit the duty of ministers to pledge themselves to upen their heal ts aud homes to them, further than is leqniied by the example and teachings of Jeaus Christ, "Ihe opportunity is presented to the Christian people of the community to do effective work: in the nalno ot the great Head of the Church who came to seek and save the lost. We, like the good Samaritan, shoulu do some substantial sorvice that win give them a tiue conception of moral life." THE VOTES OF "WOMEN. Kev. J. W. Sproull's Hope for the Keforma tlou of Society. Bev. J. W. Sproull, or the Allegheny E. P. Church, took for his afternoon subject Jes teiday "The Power pt Publio Sentiment." He said: "When any lorm of sin assumes any proportion it does so by gradual giowth, so that no special notice is taken of It until it becomes nlmost too great to grapple with. The people become accustomed to it and it is tolerated and allowed to grow. The same Is true of the evil causing so much comment today. It has grown and grown until the people havo no Idea of its magnitude and strength. Vloious people think they can have their own way in what they think Is their right, and sin nnd vice are allowed to giows-vtutll they becomo so strong that they 'thinkit cannot be put down. The same was ,ti ue of slavery and intemperance. . "One. reads that the social evil in our slater city has become so strong that it is a leataro in polities. Christian people are enabled to see what dimensions it has 'leabiied. Peisistent violatoisof God's law, ,be ilipy men or women, shall be punished, dteatljb our Blblo from ono end to the other and you will not And a single word showing that Cnnst extended piotecilou to thovioi latoi of the law. Now a man must not preach against this evil unless he provides a home lor.the criminals. I. ho vuys thu evil must be suppressed he must ulso take -care of the actors. .X take the position that sin is sin, and a violation oi the law is a violation of the law, und must be dealt with accordingly. Ibat Is common sense. None of the evils of to-day can bo tolerated. Ic Is the duty of all to holdup a high moral standard with Increasing vigilance. The laws of this State nio such that they protect this element. The christian people should bo aroused. Laws should be enacted giving women all the privileges that men now have. When this is done, and tho woman can add their voices and cast their votes on this great subject, the reformation in society will be complete." GOOD SPEED THE EIGHI. Dr. Mansell Gives a Watchword for tho New Crasado. . Eev. Dr. It. B. Mansell, .of the Fifth Ave nue M. E. Church, in bis sermon "yesterday referred to tho present ciusade in these words: "These houses need to be purged despite the moral pretexts that may be urged by the cloaked gentry who would cry aloud to hide their own shame. Justice And mercy are the habitation ot God's throne, and we cannot plead one to defeat the other. Christianity demands the systematical blending of all the virtuei, and combine Justice and mercv, decency and order. "The thrusts and slurs of the past few Udays have tfoen born either of ignorance or prejuuice. in tuousanas ot ways tue lignc of Christianity is streaming, diffusing throughout the world the glories of a civil ization unknown to paganism, scattering social evils under whicn communities have for ages groaned. Enjoving as we do the blessings or Christianity and the Christian law asainst 111 fame, let us perform tne Christian, part and assist in the wise en forcement of the la w. God speed the right.' ' WITH THE SALVATIONISTS. Tho Leaders Trying to Establish a Rescue for Women in Pittsburg. The Salvation Army held another nnthu: elastic meeting In the old Liberty Street M. E. Chureb yesterday afternoon. The lecture room was crowded with members of tb'e army and a number of strangers were pres ent, it was noticed that" women predomi nated in the andlencc, but no allusions were roado to the crusade of the police against the disorderly houses. Speaking on this subject in an interview, sergeant Osborne said the army had a lot of women at work who visit the dives and gray with the inmates. In times past many ave been converted, and a great deal of KOPd has been done. His opinion is that nobody, no matter how tough, is beyond redemption. This is the mainspring of the army. .They are loolcinz tor the people that aio neglected and passed over by the churches. The ambition of Captain White and Ser geant Osborno Is to establish a iecu6 for women in Pittsburg like the one started recently by the army in Cleveland. Money is being collected for the purpose, but it is coining in slowly. Every man and woman willing to reform the army will try to plant squni e on their leet. Food is sUppliod to the hungry ana they secure work lor many cur or employment. The meeting yesterday was full of experi ences. Captain White asked that those who were saved should state the time and place. This was at the tequest of" somebody who wanted to know. Ail who spoke, strange to relate, could give not only the place and day, but the hour. Some had been con verted a few weeks ago, others a couple of months, while one man had- been In tho Christian harness for 32 years. The singing was good and tho meeting very enjoyable. The behavior of outsiders who attend these meetings is commendable. The young mon were present In force, but not for the pur- Sose of raising a disturbince. Verily the alvation Army is gaining the respect of tne people. It is already well grounded in Pitts burg. UPHOLDS THE MAYOR. Bev. Mr. Oldham Advises Chief Brown to Follow Gourley's Instructions. Eev. Mr. Oldham, of the Butler street M. E. Church, in a short prelude to his sermon last evening, complimented Mayor Gourley for the stand be had taken in connection with the disorderly, houses. He said the Mayor had taken a correct view of the evil, and Chief Brown would do well to follow the Instructions given in His Honor's l'tter. He added that Bev. Mr. McCrory was a badly abused and much persecuted man. He admired the preacher's plnck. Continuing, he said: "It Is outrageous and absurd for the police department to exDeet the ministers to pro vide homes for the ontcast women because they had called tho attention of Chief, Btown to the evil. It would be as ridicu lous to ask the preachers to house any other variety ot offenders against the law. There nre jails and penitentiaries provided lor this purpose." .

Mrs. William Conuovay had collected a largo crowd of men und boys aionnd her at tho Point bridge yesterday, nnd was exhort ing them to repent and lead a better life. Her actions were so queer that the hearers became bolsteious and caused not a little excitement around the place. Tne patrol whs called anil the woman was locked up in the Thiity-slxth waid police station on a charge of insanity. A Eight in a Car. James Qnlnn and Henry Emmons were ar restod yesterday afternoon for raising a dis turbance on a West End electrlo carr They boaided the car n Penn avenue, nnd when the conductor came for their fares, on the Point bridge, they recused to pay and dared him to nut tnom off.

Brown, One of Ihe Lead ers of the liar, Sujjgested.as THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. Eesnlt of Secret Conferences Held on Stt nrdaj Ltening. EEAS0N8 GIVEN FOB MS SELECTION The present week is expected to settle the question who will be the Republican nomi nee for Mayor. On Saturday there were several conferences among the leaders. "What" passed among them eftuld not be learned. "When asked who was to be the nominee they said nothing had been done, but that to-morrow or next day the question would be settled as fir as they were con cerned. Late Saturday night it leaked out that the name of Major A. M. Brown, the well- i known lnwver. had been under discussion as a candidate. Yesterday it was learned that the leaders not only discussed the Major, but were almost unanimous in the opinion that he was the best man yet thought of for the place. Numerous reasons why he would be an extremely popular candidate were advanced. He is one of the oldest, as he is one of the ablest, lawyers in the State, his social as well as his profes sional standing is of the highest standard, and he possesses qualifications which would add dignity to the office and do the city credit under all circumstances. It was stated the Major is preparing to retire from his extensive law practice and allow his sons-to tale charge of It, and on that account could probably be Induced to ac cept the nomination. The fact that he has always been a Kepublicin, has always sup ported the party ticket and Invariably tnrned in and worked wherever he was called for tho party's success was also dwelt upon. Such a man. It was argued, should be honored for his services, and, while the offleo of Mayor would be a comparatively hnmblo return, it would srve to show the Sarty was not ungrateful. Whether tiie lajor would accept tho nomination was discussed, but as he had not been seen on the subject that question was left in doubt for the time being: A number of politicians were seen yester day, and they all agreed that Major Blown wonld mako an immensely popular candi date with nil parties, said County Chair man Gripp: "If Major Brown is nominated he cannot be beaten for the election. I don't believe a more acceptable candidate could be found", bnt I doubt whether be would consent to run. The Major is in my opinion cne of thebrainest men In this city, and his standing In the legal profession Is notexcellod by any member of-the county bar. He would draw many votes that no other man yet mentioned could reach, and his party would give him a solid support lor his life long faithfulness to its principles and candidates, lie would unite the party vote completely and could not be beaten." similar statements were made by other Republicans. It was said the Major enjoyed the respect and friendship of all the party leaders and the belief seemed to be general that the nomination had settled down to one of three men Major Brown, Major Mon tooth or Postmaster McEean. Major Brown was surprised that his name had been mentioned when a Dispatch re porter called at his home last evening. He said that some tlmo ago the matter had been talked of, but he had not regarded it seri ously and did not now. He had neither consented or declared to be a candidate, be cause he had not been asked, but even If the nomination was offered to htm he did not see bow he could accept, on account of h(9 business. It was of a character which could not he laid down or transferred on short notice. The offleo ot Mayor at ould not compensate for it. The Mayor thought, however, it would bo an honor to any man to have sucli an Important nomination offered him by his party. VOCE rooms will not long be empty If you advertise them in THE DISPATCH cent-a-word ads. Suspected of Bobbery.
