Claimed That Pritohard Promised llira tha Placa Will do Some Talklng HUeman and Others to Join the Minority The Division. The pie was parcelled last night. The conference committees of tbe minority and republican caucuses met at the Supreme court building and after wrestling several hours with the question of distributing the various offices under the domin ion of the legislature and the gover nor, finally reached an agreement. The penitentiary was a "bono of contention, both the populists and republicans demanding the institu tion. The republicans would not listen to any proposition by which the party conceded the state prison and the populists finally agreed to let the plum go. But today there Is groat dissatis faction among the populists, because of the concession of the peniten tiary by the committee. Seemingly strange Is the desire of several well known republicans that Relnhardt, a populist, should have the peniten tiary. This may be accounted for by the statement whichcomes pretty straight that Pritchard's people promised Reinhardt the peniten tiary for his work in the Senator's behalf. Relnhardt delivered Barker and Wakefield to Pritchard. Now It is told that Reinhardt is mad and that he will "unload" himse f if he fails to get the penitentiary. The penitentiary was taken as a basis of division by the committees after the republicans were accorded the institution. The other offices wero-divided alternately as follows: v REPrrnucANs. Penitentiary. Railway Commissioner. Western Insann Asylum (Morgan ton). Blind InstitHlions (Raleigh). Deaf and Dumb Institution (Mor- ganton). Atlantic and North Carolina Rail way. popr lists. Agricultural Department. Judge of Eastern Criminal Court. Insane Asylum (Raleigh). Insane Asylum (Goldsboro) . A & M College. Labor Statistician. Fish Commission. In the grand .''divvy" last even ing two omces were overiooKea. They were State Librarian and Keeper of the Capitol. Never fear, they will be taken in. The Repub licans will take the former and the Populists the latter." Senator McCasky, Chairman of the minority populist conference com mittee said today that he had hoped the division would be acceptable, but that there was much kicking amone tbe populists atxnn tne penitentiary. Congressman Skinner said today; when asked whether the majority populists would be recognized in the division effected last night 'Certainly they will," be replied. 'The minority is composed of patriots, They will do the fair thing. " Senator' George Butler, who is a recognixed leader among the majority populists said today : "We will not be the recipients of any offices as they were divided out last night. Tbe majority populists will not -take anything through the minority. - We da not recognize the minority as populists. They are quasi republicans. We will not af filiate with the republican party un less it acts regularly with us. " It is stated today by several mem' bers of the minority that Speaker Hileman, Maxwell Whitner and Person, who have not attended any of the majority caucuses of late, will formally join the minority tonight by entering the minority caucus. It Is claimed that the minority Will have a majority of the Populist legislators by Saturday night , ' The Republicans and the minority Populists caucus tonight on tbe di vision of offices. ..

Ground Hot Day. Today is Candlemas Day, or, as it a J 1 is popularly Known, grouna nog day. Upon the condition of the wea ther today, so the old saying goes, depends the weather for the follow ing forty days. Let us hope that ground hog day is a myth, for 40 such days as this would end us. The old legend is : "If Candlemas Day be dry and fair The half o' winter s to come and mair: If Candlemas Day be wet and foul, The half o' winter's gone at Yule On the 2d of February the ground hog, who has slept through the win ter, is supposed to wake up and take a walk. If the weather is cloudy or bad he remains up, but if he sees his shadow he scurries back Intohis hole for si weeks more sleep. ; The United States Weather Bu reau does not recognize the ground hog as a competitor in the prediction business, and gives as an example o his untrustworthiness some noto riously bad forecasts madeon ground hog day in , recent years. ' His hog ship, it is said, is losing his grip on tbe. weather and no longer deserves to be honored with a "day." ..: T&ti Cyrus Thompson,: Secretary ot State "will not bring his family to Raleigh until the Spring, . : IM1 Senate Election Committee Decides Against Dupont.
