At an executive meeting of the Mu nicipal Association held yesterday after noon In the Commercial building, Rufua Holmin, candidate for Councilman for the Fourth Ward, and George F. Brice, candidate for Councilman for the Eighth Ward, were Indorsed. A number of other candidates were discussed by the mem bers of the executive committee of the association, but no other Indorsements were made. A committee, consisting of Dr. J. U Hewitt.

This committee will act before Friday. Mr. Holman was the only candidate that had sought the indorsement of the association who ap peared at yesterday's meeting, and Sam uel Connell. chairman of the executive committee, aald last night that Holman made a very good Impression, The names of the other candidates who are seeking aid at the hands of the association were not given, but It is believed that they will receive favorable answers from the association. In addition to discussing the candidates that are to be indorsed, the $1000 license ordinance came up for consideration.

Then the rejected names will be compared with the card index, and it Is the-oplnton of the members of the executive committee that many of them will be found to be regular. The committee expects that a number of the signers will not register, and they will have no objection to such names being thrown out. Thomas W ill Address Club.

The War De partment, according to the Times today, following out a recommendation of General Frederick D. Grant, has author ized George F. Harrison, of the Artil lery Corps, the commanding officer of Fort Monroe. Vs., to employ during the existence of the- Jamestown Exposition ten private detectives, whose duty it shall be to see that no unauthorized persons get within the new fortifications guarding the entrance to Hampton Roads. Fort Monroe Is not far from Jamestown and the site of the exposi tion. These detectives will be put on guard because of the great number of foreign ers who will visit Norfolk and vicinity in the six months the exposition will be open. As perhaps a large number of these visitors will be military and naval men, who would naturally have some curios ity to know the strength of the fortifi cations guarding Hampton Roads, which is one of the four most important coast artillery posts in this country. General Grant regards it as a wise precaution to guard against any of the plans be coming known to ant visitors. Thlfl recommendation that detectives be em ployed was at once acted on by the War Department. Every day increases the popularity and sale of Carter's Little Liver PUls.
