There has never been a time fn the history of Lackawanna when the legislative contests have been so spirit ed as at present, there being from two to five candidates on each side in everv district. There are several surprises in these contests and particularly in the First district where three candidates filed petitions yesterday, the surprise being Councilman D.

I Morgan, of the Fourth ward entering the contest. Those registering from that district are as follows: Nicholas Burke, W. J. Thomas, Albert Davis, Samuel Williams, D. Ti.

Morgan, Bv; P. F. Flaherty, and John J. Hart, D. In the Second district, there were no new entries, being four Republican and two Democratic candidates, as follows: Thompson Bean, Benjamin S.

Phillips, V. H. Crisman, J. W. Browning, Timothy D.

Hayes, J. W. McAullff, D. Major T. F.

Penman has entered the contest in the Thirdi district which insures a lively contest there, the candidates being: Fred Ehrhardt, Thomas F. Penman, Charles Lew ert, D. In the Fourth district, where Dom lnlck Dempsey did not expect much opposition from either side, three can didates have entered. They are: Dom inlck T. Dempsey, John J.

Gilli gan, Thomas Heywood, Henry C. Hoffman, There are only three candidates in the Fifth district as follows: Terrence V. Powderly, Samuel Smale, and James Mc Andrew, D. In the Sixth, there are plenty of candidates. James E.

Watkins, John M. Holland, M. L. Thomas, Henry H. Harris, James M.

Walker, A. F. Hobbs, R. In the congressional contest there are three candidates: Hon. Thomas H.

Dale, Hon. John R. Farr, Hon. Six candidates will fight it out for Judicial honors, three Republicans and three Democrats. While the official reports from Harrlsburg do not show that J.

J. O'Neill has registered, there is no doubt that he is on the list, as his papers were filed yesterday by John Gaffney, who went to Harrisburg for that purpose. The candidates are: Hon. J. W.

Carpenter, Hon. A. A. Vosburg, Hon. John R.

Jones, Hon. James J. O'Neill, Aaron Augustus Chase, Cornelius Comegys, D. For delegate to the national conventions the following petitions have been filed with the county commissioners: Hon. William Connell, Hon.

Joseph A. Scranton, E. J. Lynett, John J. Fahey, for alternates, John R.

Williams, D. B. Atherton, Col. Arthur Long, Col. R.

A. Phillips, L. J. Williams, D. For delegates to the state convention only two have filed their petitions: A.

B. Cohen, Louis H. John, In the Second district. Another week remains for the candidates for county commissioners to file their petitions. The list now numbers about thirty and may be increased by at least a half dozen on each side, as that is a sort of a free for all fight and everybody is certain he can win out.

Two mine Inspectors are to be elected. All of the present Inspectors are candidates for reelection and in addition there are several other candidates, now holding positions as mine foremen or mining engineers. The five Inspectors who will seek reelection are as follows: P. J. Moore, Carbondale, First district; L.

Evans, North Scranton, Second district; H. O. Prytherch, West Scranton, Third district; David T. Williams, West Scranton, Fourth district; H. D.

Johnson, West Scranton, Fifth district. In addition to the present inspectors being candidates', the following are also understood to be candidates: Seward Button, mine foreman for the Hillside Coal and Iron company, at Jermyn; Peter Gaughan, Jessup, foreman for the Moosic Mountain Coal company; A. E. Tetter, Dunmore, mining engineer for the Pennsylvania Coal company, and John B. Jones, Moosic, foreman for the Pennsylvania Coal company.

The fact that all of these are candidates for the nomination does not mean that at this time they were eligible for election. This will depend upon the results of the examinations for mine inspectors' certificates, which will be held in tte city hall beginning next Wednesday. It will be necessary for all candidates for mine inspector to take this examination, including the present, The fact that any one has an Inspector's certificate at this time does not qualify him as a candidate. Another successful examin W(wm(BDd in or life her to at of in one was his of and vllle Rev. B.

Before a tissue pattern Is offered for sale, a cloth garment Is made from every draughted pattern, and fitted to a living model. This proves not only accuracy, but the desirability of the style. The same scientific is put Into every size of all styles created. So do not risk ruining your cloth by using cheap, unreliable patterns.
