Coxuad B. Day, Of Philadelphia, THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION DEMOCRATIC PROBABILITIES. The Republicans have made their ticket end it is by no means, a weak one. Three years ago the nominee for Prothonstary, Mr. Norris, won by a handsome majority, and on Thursday he was nominated by acclamation, without opposition.

That he will be a strong man before the people, as he was in the convention, tkere can be no doubt, and the Democrats will have to have all their wits about them to find a candidate who can keat him. He has been a faithful and efficient officer, and he is a political fighter iwho makes his blows telL Gen. McCartney, the nominee for District Attorney, is a lawyer perhaps as well and as widely known as any other in the county. He made a brilliant fight for the position and won, over his trained competitor, by a handsome majority. The opinion seems to be general, however, that Mr.

Darte would have made the strongest candidate. Get. McCartney was an Independent during the Beaver campaign, and for this some of the straight-haired Republicans will cut him, and there are other features in his political record that will hurt him with his owh party. The Democrats have only to nominate a good man to knock the General out. The nomination for Clerk of the Courts, Mr.

James, of Hazleton, was perhaps the best that could have been made. Geographically the ticket needed a candidato from the Lower End, and the Welsh element of the (arty could not be ignored, without imperilling the success of the ticket. Ben Emeigh of Pittston, is an old soldier an old stager in Luzerne county politics. He was once postmaster of Pittston, and is a good man. The ticket taken as a whole is generally looked upon as a strong one, and it will not do for the Democrats to make any mistakes in making their nominations next Tuesday.

It seems to be generally conceded that Frank Brockway will be nominated for Pro-thonotary. If so, he will represent the American element of the party, and also Lower Luzerne geographically. The District Attorney will be chosen front Wilkes-Barre, no doubt, and just now it looks as though the was between James L. Lenahan and T. R.

Martin. Both are reputable citizens as well good lawyers, and we believe that either one of them can be elected. The Clerk of the Court, then, should come from the Upper end, and at the same time the German element should have a representa- tive on the ticket, to make a successful campaign, with a Jury Commissioner from Oysters and Bohemian beer at Lohmann's, East Mareet street.

Catarrh HI EIGHT HUNDRED GUESTS A DAY AT THAT PRICE. Square Mrali fr Four Dukes ac Five-One Man Who Dues Store ir the Poor Than Vnn-derbtlt, Ac, Ac, New York, Sept, 2. Two tramps stood at the corner of Bowery and Pell streets, Fridav night discussing the question, "Where shall we dine this evening?" The tallest, a red-headed man of about forty, addressing the other, said: "Soy, Dick, bum dis fellah comiu' np for a cent aud we'll go 'round to the I got three and we'll git a plate of hash. A cent was begged from a passerby and the two started dowu to Pearl street. A newspaper reixirter followed and saw then enter a cheap restaurant near Citv Hall place.

A sign over the door reads: "Little Delmonico." Painted in large letters on an "A board was the bill of fare. It included a cup of coffee or tea for a cent, with a bowl of soup and fried liver for three cents. Roast heart and liver were three cents, with desert two cents extra. 1 he lour cent dishes in clude leef stew, mutton stew, pork stew, corned beef and cabbage, mutton chops, fish a la mode, pork chops and "porterhouse steak. A sign the window announced the fact that fried brains with bread was only three cents.

THE HIGH TONED DISHES, such as chicken stew, veal cutlet, roast mutton and fresh eges, were five cents. Inside the restaurant a dozen Italian waiters hurried to and fro supplying orders. Two hear them sing out, "One heart stew, fried brains and chop," one would imagine the waiters were insane; Put when an order was given for "a pig's head and a dog" the reporter almost fainted. Was it possible that dogs were really eaten in New York city in a public restaurant.J I he scrilKs called one of the at tendants to one side and inquired. "We mean two sausages," explained the waiter.

"Ihose are just fiv names our enstomers bestow upon things. So we got in the habit of saving dog for sausage. It's shorter, you know. We have our regular customers, and as thev don mind what we call the 'grub of course we don't. A 'sweezee' is a cup of conee.

-Our OF THE POT' means a plate ot liasn. That letiow over there who said, 'Pass the axle is not used to eating in a tony place. He used to Iward with and he never saw a hair full of butter there. He comes in here and wants the earth for five cents. Do we do a big business? Well, I should say so! We take in $40 a day on an average now, but in the winter we run up to $60.

Us waiters get $6 a week and our board. 'Jack' only has his wife and little girl to help him. He don't do as well as us, but he cuts the rates terribly. He sells nearly everything for a cent." THE REPORTER VUNTERED along Mulberry street until he came to the place designated as "Jack's." The restaurant is in the basement of a large brick tenement. Descending half a dozen steps the reporter found himself in a room about twelve feet square.

A table and two chairs was all the furniture the room contained. A group of dirty looking men stood in one corner eating from tin plates. They were lifting the food to their mouths with their fingers. Not a knife or fork was in sight. Some were eating beans, some hash, and others meat.

Judging from the manner iu which they "downed" the food they were very hungry. Standing about the room were a number of men waiting for their turn to eat. Behind a counter, which was covered with cloth, a man of about fifty dished out the food. This was "Jack," the reporter was informed. Ten times a minute his right hand disappeared within a large tin wash boiler and each time was drawn out filled with beans.

The beans were thrown upon tin plates and handed to the nearest man, who had to PAY A CENT TO THE GIRL cashier before he received the plate. Each plate contained a handful. In a rear room Mrs. "Jack" was busy cooking. She only slopped to run out with A PIECE OF MEAT IN HER FINGERS to some one of the hungry mob.

She handed it to a customer and received two cents. Once in a while she would rush out with a large bowl of coffee and a stale loaf of bread, for which she received two cents. Two cigar boxes filled with small coin, on the cashier's desk, proved that Jack was doing a big business. The cashier's desk was composed of two soap boxes set on ends, one on top of the other, and nailed together. "WE FEED AS MANY AS EIGHT HUNDRED," aid Jack, "every day in the week, and some days we have as many as a thousind here.

I used to run a lodging house, but it didn't pay. I have a good many Italian and Chinese customers, but I don't like them. They wanter take de grub away with them and ask me to do it up in paper. They never stop to think paer costs money. The reason I don't wash the plates is because I don't have time.

If I undertook to do it these fellows 'd kick. Some of dese Italians come here and when they buy a loaf of bread they have the cheek to ask if I haven't 'gota some They want butter with a cent's worth of bread." DURING ALL THE TIME "Jack" was talking his hands were busy dishing out food. "Some fellows around here are trying to run opposition to me, but the Board of Health comes around every Fri-and scoops up their stuff. I do a legitimate business and help the poor. What would my customers do were I to give up? Why they'd starve.

I do more for the poor than Vanderbilt does, and he's a rich man, too. No, I'm not rich, but I own three houses in de First ward. THE HE3REWS' CHEAP RESTAURANT is on Hester street, near Centre. Here the Polish Jews flock in hundreds- to obtain a cheap meal. Articles on the bill of fare range from two to five cents, and a "regular dinner" may be had for six cents.

A dinner consists of roast leef, a potato, two slices of bread, an onion, a cup of tea, coffee or milk and a half pie. Nearly all theordcrs filled in this restaurant are for regular dinners. The place is kept clean, and each table contains a printed bill of fare. The place is always crowded, and it is said that the proprietor has made enough money to live in retirement for the remainder of his days. AN EATING HOU3B which Ls solely patronized by the poor colored people of New York is situated on Spring street.

A cup of coffee and a cruller is the order mostly given here, although some of the frequenters of this place live high and never go away without eating twenty-five cents' worth of food. This amount of eatables here means as much as a City Hall Park tramp eats in a month. In the Winter fish and oysters are mostly called for. An oyster stew at this place is six cents. Coffee is two C3nts a cup, and bread und milk two cents a bowl.

The proprietor of the place is a white man. Oysters and Bohemian beer at Lohmann's, 139 East Market street. Oysters and Bohemian beer at Lohmann's, 139 East Market street. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF SCRAN-TON'S LAST SENSATION. The Ohattlr Horror that Cob fronted Daniel 0 Brien Saturday The Mali's ldenttty-A Poislble Clue to the Crime, Scranton Truti: Daniel O'Brien, of the Twelfth ward, while walking near the Nay-Aug Rifle Range, in the Seventeenth ward, on Saturday afternoon, came upon the dead body of an Italiaa.

It was evident the man had been murdered. His throat was cut from ear to car, completely severing his windpipe, his head was battered, and a great gash on his right cheek extended to Ms chin. The body was in a small clump of laurels, the upturned face so covered with dried blood that the features could not be discerned. Near the body was a club, on the end of which was blood anil hair. Two large blood stained stones were also found.

Mr. Daniel O'Brien, who discovered the body immediately notified Chief of Police Coggins and Coroner Dean was also notified, and in company with Chief Coggins and Sergeant Riley, repaired to the place where the body of the murdered man lay. The remains of a small fire were fonnd and it is supposed the murder was committed near the fire and the body of the man dragged to the bushes, a distance of twenty feet. A pool of blood which had not dried was found near the fire, and it was evident that the crime had not teen committed any great length of time. The man had on a coat and trousers of coarse gray material, a "hickory" shirt and heavy hob-nailed shoes.

On the body was found a letter dated Agnopoli, Italy, July 7th, and addressed to Andrea Giacomino, New York, per Somerset, Pa. The letter was signed Bartolmomi Giacomino, and was from the father to his son. It tanked the latter for sending to his father (500 lire about $120 and requested that Andrea return to Italy at once. A tender letter from his mother was also found in his pocket, together with a pass-book, on which were the numbers 093 and 237, some business cards of Aragani Ferdinando, a pocket knife aud a railroad time-table of the Utica and Bluck Island Railn ad, on which was the stamp of the JohDstown ticket office. The dead man is undoubted Andrea Giacomino, but out of a large number of Italiuns who viewed the body, no one had seen him before.

1 he body was given in charge of Undertaker Raub, and taken to his establishment on Wyoming avenue, where Coroner Dean summoned the following jury at 8 o'clock Saturday evening: E. J. Lynett, foreman; G. S. Ihropp, J.

s. McAnulty, William N. Bar- num, A. t. btokes and Peter Konck.

The body was viewed and testimony of Chief Coggins and others taken. Aragoni Ferdinando testified he did not know the man but recog nized him as an Italian. Later in the evening Mr. Ferdinando stated that ho had learned that the murdered man had stopped at his hotel on Wednesday night and left the house on Thursday morning. Mr.

i erdinand said this morning that Gi acomino ana another Italian came here to gether from Somerset. Giacomino said he was losking for a brother eountryman who owed him a hundred dollars; that there were Italians here bearing the name of his debtor; that he was probably here, and if he (Giacomino) got the money he would return to Italy. On Friday morning Giacomino and the man the man with whom he had come here went away together. Giacomino's companion, who was medium-siedaud had a black moustache, returned at about five o'clock in the afternoon. He said that Giacomino had stareed for New York.

He drank some here and then went out, saying that he was going to a barber shop. Since that time he has net been seen. i HOP PLASTER What ls tho wo of flaJTeringr with Pain i the Side or Hip, Sciatica, Bheusuitiam, Kidney Diseases, Crick, Stitches, Swollen and tri ed Muscles, Chest and TJiTig troubles, or any art of pain or soreness, cither local or doep-seated when a Hop Plaster will five instant relief Prepared from Burgnndy Pitch, Canada Balsam, and the pain-kJUinff virtues of Sops.

Oygtcrs and Bohemian beer at Lohmann's, 139 East Market street. Scranton, Sept. 8. All things being considered, the wedding of Miss Mattie Con- nell to Mr. S.

W. Edgar, here yesterday morning, was an exceedingly interesting af fair. Miss. Mattie Connell is the oldest daughter ef Mr. William Connell, who lives in a fine residence on the corner of Clay avenue and Vine street.

Mr. Connell is President of the Third National Bank, President of the oung Men's Christian Association, an influential member of the Adams Avenue M. E. Church, and one of the most opulent coal operators in the Lackawanna region. He has done a great deal to build up the industries of Scranton, and no man here is more active in business than he.

His wealth is estimated at more than a million dollars. One of his most intimate associates and warmest personal friends until a few months ago was a lawyer named Samuel W. Edgar. Two years ago last spring Mr. Edgar's wife died.

He and his wife had been frequent callers at the Connell residence, and he called there occasionally after his wife's death. A little more than a year after that Mr. Edgar began to pay attentions to Miss Mattie, and later it became evident that they were in love. Mr. Connell did not appear to realize that Mr.

Edgar had won his daughter's affections until Mr. Edgar asked him for her hand in marriage. Mr. Connell was surprised to learn from Mr. Edgar that his daughter was willing to become Mrs.

Edrar in case her father was willing also, but Mr. Connell peremptorily refused to- give his consent, would listen to no argument on the questien, and ordered Mr. Edgar to cease his visits at the house. Thereafter the lovers were obliged to meet elsewhere than at the paternal residence, but they managed to meet all the same without the father's "knowledge. It wa3 understood that Mr.

Connell objected to the marriage because he wanted his daughter to marry a man who stood higher in the social scale than Edger did, but the young lady loved Edgar, and had made up ner minu to marry mm, no matter how much her father objected to her doing bo. Mrs. Connell is said to have been willing: to let her do as she wished in the matter, although she preferred that Mattie should obey her father. About a week ago Miss Mattie told her father she was to be married to Edgar Wednesday. She said that she had fully determined on that course, and that nothing could change her determination.

Mr. Connell is said to have told her that he would both disown and disinherit her if she married Edgar, and as Miss Connell has a strong will like her father the scene is said to have been stormy. night the news of the approachine marriage spread through the neighborhood. aud at 8 o'clock yesterday morning there was a crowd at the Adams avenue M. E.

Church. where the marriage was to take place. Mr. Connell was not at home when his daughter left there in the morning, probably for the last time. About all she took with her was the traveling costume which she wore.

The parting between Mattie and her mother is said to have been very affecting. At 8:30 o'clock the Rev. Lewis C. Muller, pastor of the church, married the couple. Ualy a few of the young lady's relatives were present.

The bride and groom took breakfast at the residence of Mr. James S. McAnulty, whose wife, a sister of Mattie, has stood by her durinjr her troubles at home. Mr. Edgar i3 a man of excellent character and has a fine law practice.

His bride will not go home again unless her father forgives her. This forenoon Mr. and Mr j. Edgar left the city on their wedding tour. Why SnlHvan Was Given the Fight.

Toledo, Sept. 3. Referee Tate has reaffirmed his decision that Sullivan won the contest over McCaffrey at Cincinnati, on the ground that the authorities had forbidden a knock-out or slugging, and it was understood the affair was simply a boxing exhibition and to be decided on points. The referee, in announcing his decision, says: "Mr. Campbell, the stakeholder, informs me in his dislmtch that the agreement calls for scientific points.

Aow 'calls' is a verb, the present tense. He also says 'Sullivan wanted them scratched but he does not tell me that they were scratched out or that they ever have been. These words may have been omitted, but I have no right to infer that they were. Again, Mr. Campbell, as stakeholder, has paid over the money due the winner to Sullivan, there by strengthening my position.

Therefore, I see no reason to alter my decision made and announced at the end of the sixth round." The Hungarian Workmen Must Go. Huntingdon, Sept. 3. After aprotracted trial of Hungarian labor at the Saxton fur naces the operators have concluded to dispense with it and to employ American labor in its stead. The furnaces have been doing well while the Hungarians have been working there, producing iron in greater quantity than other furnaces of the same capacity in this part ei the State and of a quality for which there is constant demand, but the foreiimers did not show that intelligence and readiness and aptness at learning that are necessary to produce the best results.

The men to take their places will come from Riddlesburg, where they were employed by the Kemble Coal and Iron Company, when the works at that place were in operation. They have been out of employment since the failure of the company. The result will be to transfer a large number of the best citizens of Riddlcs- uuig, wim ineir ianiiucs, to saxton. The loss of the Hungarians will scarcely "be noticed, as they added but little to the pros perity oi me place. Bidder's New York Beer is as popular as ever and John L.

Hecker, M. D. No. 72 of the Humboldt Library of Science, J. Fitzgerald, Publisher, 393 Pearl street, New York.

Price 15 cents, post free. The dancing mania of the middle ages is one of the most curious episodes in the history of mankind, whole villages, towns and communities being seized with an irresistible impulse to dance and leap about, and to wander np and down the whole of Europe, communicating their frenzy to the people wherever they wandered. The symptoms of this strange disorder, aud the mad antics of its victims are vividly portrayed by the author from contemporary annals. AMONG OUR EXCHANGES. Towanda Reporter: When one reflects on the fact that a man could get more earthly reward by knocking out John Sullivan in a fight lasting a few minutes, than he could by preaclting salvation to the heathen for half a century, he feels like adding another chapter to the biography of that noble old Reman Irishman, Mr.

O. Tenipora O'Mores. Philadelphia Time: Another Pennsylvania countv that went for Blaine has asked Cleveland for a Consulship for one of its faithful Democratic sons. Lackawanna and Mercer counties seem equal to almost any little thing like this. Philadelphia Times: The warring factions ef the Lackawanna county Democracy have made up and harmony prevails.

It will be a little hard on the Scranton newspapers, which, for a time, were able always to chronicle the meeting of one County Democratic Committee and sometimes of both, but possibly it may be better for the ticket nominated at Tuesdays convention after Chairman Bums and Chairman Fitzsimmons had done the great handshaking act. For the benefit of other counties in which there are local factional feuds, it may be stated that the secret of the harmony was that neither faction insisted on naming the whole ticket. Sullivan was in Buffalo yesterday. To a reporter of the Times, in an inquiry as to his opinion of McCaffrey, he said: "I am a bad man, but I would advise all aspirants to pugilistic honors to look out for that man. He is a good one, and with proper training and a little more confidence will make a man that few would like to face." Philadelphia Press: Coal miners in the Wyoming Valley are reported as not sharing in the alleged uneasiness of which exaggerated rumors have been published, and the declaration of leading coal operators at Wilkes-Barre that they do not expect to reduce wages is highly reassuring.

The rumors of a strike probably -grew-out of the daily growing strength of the Miners' and Laborers' Amalgamated Association, but the rise of that organization does not justify the in ference that seems to have been drawn. Scranton Free Press: Gen. McCartney will be the Republican candidate for District-Attorney of Luzerne county, and James L. Lenahan will be his opponent. We wager a ig copper cent that the general will be away behind when the returns come in.

Philadelphia Times: The Wilkes-Barre Record has a libel suit. The plaintiff is a woman who had a man arrested for whistling at her, and the Record said she was not any too good to be be whistled ai. She values her reputation for $10, 000. The Hon. Samuel J.

Randall went driving at Long Branch with M. Simrerlv of the Philadelphia Record, who is politically op posed to Mr. Randall Somebody spoke to Mr. Randall about it. "When my enemy drives the fastest pair of horses in the place, and tells me they are liable to trot the best road mile on record almost any dav," was the reply, "I can sit very comfortable with him in the same wagon." The gamblers of Omaha have made a prop-position to the city that if they are not inter fered with for one year they will pay for all street improvements and keep up the water works.

The Omaha gamblers must have the best of it. Mrs. Langtry and Fred Gebhard have been in Boulogne. By day they visited the gambling tables of the Casino, and by night the public dancing room of this resort. As they were waltzing together Fred's feet slipped from under him, and he fell prostrate.

His partner went tumbling after. A correspondent says that the Casino has since been densely packed with an expectant multitude. In its anxiety to shelve Mr. Randall, the Boston Herald hints to Mr. Carlisle that Mr.

Randall's name would appear very well at the head of the Committee on Foreign Affairs or Public Lands or Claims. The Sundiiy Telegram, published in Har-risburg and owned by 5rooks, Hill Hazard, of Elmira, N. has been sold to William L. Jordan, of the Bradford Nac Era, ex-Mayor of Bradford, who took possession yesterday. The entire editorial force will be changed.
