Political nominations clash as Jackson blocks slate
The Maryland delegation met at Senator McComas home and set a state slate for federal posts, including Stone as Collector of Customs and Goldsborough as District Attorney. Jackson opposed it preferring his brother Wilbur F Jackson for Internal Revenue. His alternate slate was rejected, and Jackson left the conference. The piece notes potential GOP losses over Boer sympathy resolutions, adds updates on Addicks race, anti-deaf-eating league actions, deaths of F Bret Harte and Amos J Cummings, a Truxton trial speed, and a forecasted 48 percent Standard Oil dividend.

In Dorchester court, Harry Ashland received ten years for shooting Captain Luther Phillips. Sager and Shirault were acquitted on that charge but jailed six months for stealing Captain Lewis' boat. Maria L. Gibson, sister of late Senator Charles H. Gibson, died in Washington and was moved to Centreville for funeral rites. The issue also notes journalism ads, posthumous President McKinley portrait cards, a $2,000 claim for Mrs. Avery, Easton real estate transfers, and local civic notes.
