THE SECOND PRIMARY
Contest Royal Between Mayor
alty Candidates is Promised
for the Morrow.
A FIFTH WARD PROTEST.
Decided Last Night Adversely to Contest
antSaloons Will Close This Even.
Inf at 7 O'clock Appointive
Officers on the Qni Vive.
If anything, interest centered about
the municipal campaign is even more
pronounced and intense just now than
before the contest at the first primary
on day before yesterday. Everybody
confidently predicts that there will
be a much more lively contest.
though only a few officers to elect,
than at the original primary on Mon
day.
There was no let up in the exercise
of political finesse yesterday, and to
day promises, even more interesting
developments. The question yester
day was regarding the per centage
of ex Mayor Joo. J. Fowler's vote in
the first primary that the two rem airi
ng candidates in the field would be
able to marshal at the polls to morrow.
t is but fair to say that friends of
each party to the mayoralty campaign
were equally extravagant in claiming
the strength of the body of voters in
which is vested the balance of power
and that the primary alone will decide
it.
The rules and regulations for the pri
mary to-morrow are the same as on
Monday and all the inspectors are re
quired to be in attendance. The polls
will open at 7 A. M. and close at 7 P.
M, and returns will be made to the
Executive Committee as before.
There were many caucuses yester
day between ' friends of the several
candidates for subordinate offices to be
chosen by the Board of Aldermen on
the first Monday in April. Trading
and trafficing is already being heard
on the street and to those "behind the
scenes" there appears to be 'as much
nterest shrouding the first meeting of
the "new board" as there was in the
case or the primary. The average
Aldermanic nominee was besieged yes
terday with applicants for position
and the undesirable features of the life
of an Alderman began to assert them
selves in fitting style.
- - Pretest , Proa the Fifth.
The Executive Committee last night
had to deal with a protest from the
Fifth ward in regard to the aldermanic
nomination there. The protest was
made by Mr. W. J. Reaves, who re
1 ceived in the ward SI 6 votes. He
declared that Mr. W. E. Mann, the
nominee declared elected by the Exec
utive Committee, having received 3S0
votes, was not entitled to his seat, from
the fact that half a dozen or more of
the votes received by him were chal-
enged, and that the challenges were
duly sustained. He asked that a
second primary be held to determine a
choice between the two. His protest
was read at the meeting, but
Mr. Reaves was not present to
represent his case and after waiting an
hour, upon motion of Mr. J. G. L.
Gieschen, the protest was dismissed.
Mr. Mann was present with his attor
ney, ueroert ALcuiammy, issq , out
the esse was not gone into and the
action above was unanimously taken,
every member of the committee being
present.
Saloons Close This Evening.
As will be seen in an official an
nouncement in another column of the
Stab, Mayor Waddell orders that all
bar-rooms in the city must close at 7
o'clock this evening and remain
closed until Friday morning at 7
o'clock, in accordance with the law
governing such cases, which provides
that all such places must be closed
twelve hours prior to and after the
holding of the primary. This law also
applies to the election to-morrow
WITH THE NAVAL RESERVES.
Elected Lieutenant Chase Commander of
Division and J. J. Blair to Vacancy
Caused by Promotion.
Pursuant to orders received y ester
day from Capt. H. H. Mcllhenny,
commanding the North Naval Brigade,
the Wilmington Division of Reserves,
after recular drill last night, held a
meeting at which Lieut. H. M. Chase,
Junior Grade, was chosen to succeed
Lieut. A. B. Skelding, Senior Grade,
commanding the division, and Mr.
John Jay Blair, was chosen Lieuten
ant. Junior Grade to succeed Mr.
Chase promoted. Both elections were
unanimous and upon announcement
of the result by Secretary Charles . E.
McMillan there were enthusiastic
cheers for the new officers.
The election of an Ensiarn was de-
lftel in order but UDOn motion it
was deferred to a subsequent meeting
At the meeting Mr. S. K . DeVaney
presided and Mr. McMillan wasjpresent

Raleigh, N. O, March 19. The

the books of the State's prison with
view to ascertaining the amount of

tin, institutional clerk under ex-State

menceAo-dayv The examination will
y the special legislative commit
tee consisting of Senator Arrington
and Representees Winston and Shan
nonhouse. State Treasurer Worth told me this
morning that no further discrepancies
in the books have been found since the
arrest of Martin last week. Mr. Lacy
and his clerks made some further in
vestigation yesterday. He does not
think the defalcation will amount to
very much if any, more than has
already been discovered, about $1,000
That is the difference apparent in
he State's pruon accounts in
the treasurer's office and those at the
prison. Taere is no other institution
that would offer tbe opportunity for
tampering with accounts that the
State's prison does, for the reason that
no other institution has fluctuating
accounts like the prison, there bein
constant income from the institu
tion as well as a standing appropria
tion, thereby complicating accounts so
that the clerk would have an oppor
tunity to cover up his embezzlements
until a careful and detailed investiga
tion is made. None of the other
institutions have fluctuating accounts,
and the records show at a glance what
the financial standing of the institu
tions are as compared with the appro
priations in tbe hands of the treasurer.

The Impeachment Trial.
Raleigh, N. C, March 19. During
today's session of the Court of Im
peachment the cross-examination of
Chief Justice Furches was concluded
and the testimony of Associate Justice
Douglas was taken. The cross exami
nation of Judge Furche$ as on yester
day, was conducted by James H. Pou.
It involved principally the course of
tbe court in the famous office-holding
cases anduhe soundness of the doctrine
tbat a person appointed to office has a
property right vested in both the office
and tbe duties thereof, and could not
be divested of the right as long as the
office existed, except' for misconduct
Chief Justice Furches had a ready an
swer for every question, and cited pre
cedents through a course of sixty years
for justification of his position.
At the conclusion of Judge Furches'
testimony Major W. M. Bobbins, J.
B. Hoi man, J. H. Hoffman and Dr.
W. 8. Stephenson were introduced as
witnesses to prove Judge Furches'
character. All gave him the highest
possible standing. Holman said Judge
Furches was a strong partisan, but did
not think that would sway him in
judicial decisions. Major Bobbins
shed tears in testifying; he had loved
Furches all his life as. a man, and
hated his politics.
Watson was cross examining, and
Robbins, in answer to a question, said
Furches was no more a partisan in his
politics than he (Robbins) and Watson
were in theirs.
Associate Justice Douglas' direct
testimony was very similar to that of
Furches. His cross examination by
Watson was very rigid, involving all
manner of questions of law. The only
notable feature was that Douglas ad
mitted that according to his ruling in
White's case the Legislature could
elect a. man to an office for forty years
or life, and he would have a vested
right that could only be annulled by
abolishing the office and its duties.
To morrow Associate Justice Mont
gomery will take the witness stand.
