The Fourth Congressional District i

! met at Pioneer Hall last evening, j
| Thomas F. Finn was chosen chairman
by acclamation. William Carr was
elected secretary.
Immediately on the announcement I
of the chair that the next order of '
brsiness Was the nomination of a can
i didate for Congress. Thomas F. Eagan
i arose and addressed the convention, j
| H*> spoke highly of Edward J. Liver
, nosh's career in Congress as the Rep- ]
| rr-tentative of the district and re- j
I marked that the Congressman had
j just laid the foundation for greater ef
fort as the champion of the working
man. He declared that delegates of
the Union Labor party would be false
and recreant if they failed to recog
nize the merits and services of Mr.
LJvernash.
In closing he proposed Mr. Liver
nash as the nominee of the conven
ticn. The nomination was seconded
by several delegates. A motion that
nominations close prevailed without
dissent. The secretary was thereupon
directed to cast the ballot for Liver
nnsh. Delegates Eagan and Ryan
were appointed to notify Mr. , Liver
nash of the convention's action and to
ej-cort him to the platform. It was re
ported to the chairman that the nomi
nee was not present- As the delegates
did not clamor for his presence the in
cident of his absence engaged no fur
ther notice. After authorizing the
chairman to appoint the usual com
mittees the convention adjourned to
the call of the chair. The fact was
regarded as somewhat significant that
the convention did not. adjourn- sine
die. There was a deal of gossip to
the effect that Livernash intended to
declare war on the party because
Wynn was turned down in the Fifth.

o'clock to-morrow morning.
The constitution of the encamp

Grand Encampment will be held on

the Sovereign Grand Lodge in this
city this year the constitution was
so amended that both bodies might
convene at the same time. Next year,
by virtue of the amendment, the
Grand Encampment will meet In San

The officials assembled in the Empire
parlor of the hotel. A volunteer Mili
tant staff in full dress uniform marched
to the Maple room and formed a cres
cent, then proceeded to the Marble
room and back to the Maple room,
where the reception took place.
For more than an hour the long line
moved slowly, each member in turn of
ferine congratulations to the grand sire
and his wife. After paying their re
spects the company scattered about the
parlors. New « friendship were made
and the ties of o?d ones more strongly
linked. L5?ht refreshments were served
and the reception proved one of the
most enjoyable events of the first days
cf the gathering.
Grand Sire John B. Goodwin and his
wife were the guests of honor at a re
ception given last night by the mem
bers of the Sovereign Grand Lodge and
representatives of tho various lodges of
Odd Fellows in the Marble and Maple
rooms of the Palace Hotel. Prominent
members, accompanied by Jadies, were
present to pay their respects.
The hour set for the reception was 10
o'clock, but it was after 10:30 before
the line began to form. When the long
procession started to wend its way
through the corridors and" brilliantly
lifrhted rooms it presented a pretty pic
ture. Patriarchs Militant, with their
purple plumes and gold braid, walked
side by side with ladies in elegant even
ing gowns; veteran Odd Fellows who
had done their duty well walked with
youths just climbing the ladder of the
order. AH were happy and a spirit of
good fellowship was predominant.

of Moore Devighne was the husband
of Lillie Moore. To substantiate hia
statements Moore brings letters writ

concerning his wife's death.
Four years ago Devighne carae to
this city with the woman. He immed

at Hahnemann Hospital College and
graduated from that institution last
month. Mrs. Devighne or Miss Moore
went out nursing in the country.
Periodically she would come to
town and always would take a room
at 1926 Market street. Here De
vighne always visited her. Here in
the house on last April 5 she ¦was
suddenly taken ill. and after lingering
in terrible agony for several hours sh*
died. Deviehne arrived on the scene,
but she was unconscious. He took
charge of the remains and buried the
body in Mount Olivet Cemetery under
the name of Lillie Moore. Early this
month he left the city, stating to his
friends that he was going to Oregon.

Cook left his shop at 12:15 o'clock, as
was his habit. During his short ab
sence the place was thoroughly ran
sacked. The thief got away with a
quantity of watches, watch cases, rings
and brooches. A suspicious character
was seen loitering in front of the place
by a Greek fruit dealer near Cook's
store. The man walked away and the
fruit seller paid him no further atten
tion. The street was crowded, and a
man seen unlocking and entering the
jewelry store would not have been no
ticed. >
The thief failed to get a number of
diamonds which Cook usually had in
the showcase. Yesterday these jewels
were left in the safe, as Cook had help
ers cleaning hi3 store in the morning.
Cook suspects a former clerk of his,
Benjamin Martin. Martin left him some
weeks ago. Cook declares that Martin
robbed him of X3G0. There is now a war
rant out for Martin, and Detective E3
Gibson, detailed on the case, is anxious
to find him.
The jewelry store of F. L. Cook. 1712
Market street, was robbed yesterday
noon of stock valued at J3500. No one
saw the burglar, who unlocked the
front door of the establishment with a

ner. The police were notified when
Cook returned at 1 o'clock. Detectives
were immediately detailed oa the case,
but no clew was found.

"Hotaling has been in the city for
several days, ostensibly to see the
World's Fair, but it is hinted that Miss
Bates is the real attraction for him.
Since his arrival here he has been a
regular attendant at the Imperial
Theater, where Miss Bates is playing,
and last evening, with a party of
friends, occupied a box. Miss Bates,
as soon as the play was over, left the
theater for her mother's home on Tin
dell Boulevard, where Hotaling is a
guest.
"Miss Bates is a native of California,
and for some time the report has been
current on the cc-ast that she is to be
come the wife of the wealthy bachelor.
who has known Miss Bates for several
years and for whom he expresses the
highest admiration, and it is generally
understood among Hotaling's friends
in San Francisco that the marriage
will take place upon the expiration of
Miss Bates' contract with Belasco."
"Notwithstanding the reticence of
Miss Bates and Mr. Hc-taling. the re
port is given general credence by the
attaches of the Imperial Theater, as
well as members of her own company.
"Further than that Hotaling declined
to discuss the subject. Miss Bates,
¦when seen, refused to say anything,
but the statement was made by mem
bers of her company that even if the
report of the engagement were true.
Miss Bates could not do otherwise than
deny it. because of her contract with
David Belasco.
"Richard M. Hotaling. wealthy club
man and bachelor of San Francisco,
¦who is said to be engaged to marry
Miss Blanche Bates, now playing at the
Imperial Theater, refused last evening
to affirm or deny the report.
" 'I know the San Francisco papers
have been gossiping about it for
some time.' said he. 'but. so far as I
am concerned, I must refer you to Miss

! General Henry C. Corbin. adjutant
I general, commanding the Atlantic di

i Tvhich. -was issued at the War Depart
ment to-day. Regarding marriages in
the army, General Corbin says :
I desire to reiterate in elect »ha.t I have *
i fcrn-.erly said en this subject, which state- \
*o*a&. however, has fceea misread, misquoted >
ar.J tn:su=iiemo<xi.

the cftcers i±u=zstlves. To this broad state-

for his proper support a=d the expenses cf his i

that when aa officer strikes h'.s balance at '

Th*t & baeatlrr officer is mere valuable to
tfce service than a Banted officer dc-e* not '

'¦'¦ ra niarryinr, he has not exercised that '¦
prudence uhich thcu!3 govern a.: trassa^tieia I

Farther on in his report General
Corbia says:
I a^n firmly cf the opinion that no officer I
rhould enter the marriage relation without !

General Corbin favors the re-estab- '
lishm^nt of the canteen, and says:
If :t were r>o?sib:e by my act to absolutely :

I^ssible and practicable. I am firmly of the '
opinion that it would be ia the interest of

General Corbin strongly advocates '
the increase of the coast artillery by
at least one-half and the raising of the I
pay of the noncommissioned officers
and o-f such privates In me service as :
have shoTvn themselves qualified as ex-
I-ert artillerists. He recommends that
th? district commander of artillery be
Dot limited to the command of any ar- i
tiilcry posts and that artillery com- j
manders be authorized to allow repu- i
table citizens to sse a portion of the
fortifications.
