Franklin Denounces Recorder Because He is No Respector of Persons--The Mayor Was Spared By The Orators The Franklin supporters held a meeting at the overhead bridge, on L'a.-t Morehead street, last night. There were present about sixty-five men and fifteen to twenty boys. The meeting was called to order by Col. T. R. Rob ertson, who made the opening speech. Col. Robertson was very mild in his a marks. His "principal argument, be ing against Recorder Shannonhouse, staring that if he were elected Record er he would not conduct the office on the fame lines as it has been conducted, lie ;aui that their platform was Capt. Franklin, himself; that Capt. Frank lin's past record was a platform big enough for all. He said Capt. Franklin needed to announce no platform as he was the working man's candidate. Mr. W. S. Dorr, of Dilworth, was the next speaker. Mr. Dorr said he had he;n in the city seven years, coming from New Jersey, where he had learn ed his type of Democracy. He made no especial fight against Mayor Brown but wils very bitter in his remarks against Recorder Shannonhouse, Chief Irwin and the entire police force, declaring that in their management of the city for the past two years' they had shown themselves to be incompetent. He denounced the present administra tion as the clubman's administration, trying to show that all the legislation of the city had been against the work ing man and for the wealthy. The whole trend of his talk was to show that the Recorder had been too strict and harsh in dealing with the crimi rials and lawbreakers wTho were brought before him. He further tried to show that the present fight was en tirely between the working man and the wealthy class of the city. Capt. Franklin next appeared upon the scene, having come from a meet ing in the Fourth Ward. He opened his speech by saying that immediately upon his election to the office of mayor he would begin his administration by the selection of a new Recorder, stat ing that the present Recorder had been entirely too strict in his dealings. ALso declaring that. "He fines them regard less of who they are and what they are." Capt. Franklin denounced the pres ent administration as the wealthy man 's and the clubman's and that the working man had no show or repreaen tation at all. Capt. Franklin said that his platform was his past life; that he was opposed to a wide open town and opposed to vice. He said that he wa3 opposed to the methods and rulings of the present administration and oppos ed to the administration of Mayor Brown. Capt. Franklin declared there was only two sides to the race the work ing class with himself as the leader and the upper classes with Mayor Brown as the leader. Mr. W. S. Orr was the next speaker and he followed in the same strain of those before him, severely arraign ing the Recorder, Chief of Police and the entire police force. He denounced the strictness of Recorder Shannon house in dealing with criminals, call ing it "harshness" and "bull-headed." His next attack was upon the Chief of Police and the nolice force winrlincr nn by saying that he was nnt a nanto but that if he should be elected he woum run it on an entirely different plan. During the entire meeting nn nnp spoke other than in the highest terms of Mayor Brown, the plan of attack being against the Record er find fhipf of Police. SMALLPOX IN SALISBURY.

BOYS IN BLUE TOO GAY FDRJAGASAKI Painted the Japanese Town Red WhenThey Got Ashore and Hence Commandant Davis Stops It COTTON MARKET TAM There Was Very Little Trad Exchange Today. New York, March 27. C. W. Lee & Co. says: Some rains west of the river brought shorts into the market today and prices recovered some loss made yesterday. There was very little trad ing and more or less selling on ad vances. Demand proved such as to hold market and as long as the weath er was somewhat less favorable than yesterday, May was taken care of by pool and the bull interests bought some July today. But August and dis tant months seemed tame. The mar ket failed to rally much. But today it seemed to do no more than hold the level. One reason for this was the strike ordered in Lowell on Monday and selling on every ad vance. This strike will influence 1, 200,000 spindles and have a decidedly unfavorable influence on sentiment. People won't care to buy much cotton under the contions. The figures in sight today were 130,000 bales, or about 10,000 over last year. This is not much of a movement to help those short of May in New York. The position of cotton is too strong to make selling on breaks anything but an unnecessary risk. We believe sales of August on bulges will be profitable unless we get another bad weather map. We do not advise purchases of cotton at the pres ent time. Later the outlook may be different.

Cansler, counsel for Kendrick, stated that from what knowledge he had of the case, there was sufficient evidence to bind his client over, there fore he would waive examination. He asked the court, in the matter of bond, to be as light on his client as possible. The court fixed Kendrick's bond at $200. In connection with the Kendrick case, Vance Dickey and Hurd McLean were arraigned, charged with stealing a lot of groceries, the property of J. R. Van Ness and Bro. The evidence showed that McLean and Dickey had been carrying numerous articles to Kendrick's place, that Isaac Pettus had taken from Van Ness' store. Pettus had, up to a few days ago, been work ing for Van Ness and at odd times, he would take out hams, lard and coffee. These articles were placed in a box in rear of Van Ness' store and when an opportunity was afforded, Dickey and McLean would take the stuff and carry it to Kendrick's restaurant, on East Trade street. The evidence was sufficient to bind the two boys over. They went to jail in default of a $50 bond, in each case. Last night officers made a search of Kendrick's restaurant and home. At the restaurant they found the following articles that Kendrick stated came from the store of Usher Bros: Two hams, six, five pound buckets of lard, four jars of preserves, six packages of coffee, two cakes of soap. At Ken drick's house three jars of preserves were found that Kendrick stated came from the above firm. The property found at Kendrick's restaurant said by him to have come from Van Ness' was: Two hams, three five pound buckets of lard, one 10 pound bucket of lard, two three pound cans of Monogram coffee, two packages of Arbuckle's coffee. At the home of Kendrick was found one package of Postum and one package of Malta Vita. These also, Kendrick stated were brought to niin from Van Ness. Mr. E. C. Fesperman stated that Kendrick had, from time to time ex changed 130 pounds of lard with him for other goods. J. G. Stikeleather states that he pur chased a five pound bucket of lard from Kendrick for which he paid him 50 cents. The regular price is 70 cents. J. A. Moose stated that he had pur chased a 10 pound bucket of lard from Kendrick for which he paid $1.00. Miller & Wallace state they purchas ed case of baking powders from Ken drick for which they paid $1.10. At the conclusion of the evidence Of ficer Frank Weddington was sworn The court asked him if he was present when any one of the four negroes on trial took anything to the restaurant of Sylvanus Kendrick. Mr. Weddington stated that he was not and knew noth ing of the trouble. "You heard Hurd McLean say that you were present when he took 10 dozen eggs to Kendrick's restaurant. Was that true?" "It is not," responded Mr. Weddington. "Do you own any interest in Ken drick's restaurant." "I do not. I sometimes go in there and buy a snack. I have no interest in the business whatever." Kendrick was then sworn .He stated positively that he owned the restaurant and that no one had one cent interest in the place except himself. At the conclusion of Kendrick's statement, the court said: "If there is any one in the audience who knows of any evidence bearing on this case, I will ask that one to come forward. I am determined to get at the bottom of this case and if any one has any evidence that would incriminate any one, I want it. I don't care who it hurt or what it will help. All I want Is the truth." There was silence in the court room for a few secoads but no one came for ward to testify. TO UNIFORM THE VETERANS. Mrs. Sexton and the Andrews Co. to Bring About This End.
