Thre was Instantly thing looked like'a regular old time Democratic poW wow. Fully a quarter hour elapsed, before anything could be They howled McLaln down and out Cries of "we want no half breeds" arose. Squire McCalvey of Hazleton got the chairman's ear finally and protested that although the resolutions just adopted denounced bossism, the presentation of a elate, cut dried by McLaln, showed evidence of bossism right there. The chairman settled the matter by stating that he would call for the nominations in their regular order. McLaln now withdrew every name he had presented and further stated that Barrett and' Phillips positively refused to allow their names to be considered.

Strong opposition had developed during the noon recess to Barrett, ex Mayor Wm. Rhlnehart of Hazleton, coming out as a full fledged candidate for nomination, with the solid support of the fourth district. Wrangling became the order of the day and it was' soon, seen that the convention's work' would be a long drawn out agony.

ylrnm' Xhnrld nf the 01 lPF Whlitle Heard Last MSht. After the Committee Informed Him that hey' "Would Return to Work Hs Told Them They 'Could Make a Full Examination of the Scaled Friendly Settlement. Three weeks ago 'tomorrow the strike of the employes of the Barnum colliery was inaugurated on account of a change in the scales, whereby the loaded cars coming from the mines were lessened between 1000 and 1,500 pounds each, and this morning witnessed the return of the men pending a settlement that will undoubtedly prove an amicable one from the points of view of the miners and the officials. The blowing of the whistle last night was a welcome sound all around and when the colliery started up this morning it was with its full quota of employes. The conclusion of the strike is very satisfactory to both sides, especially so to the miners since they heard the report of the committee sent to Captain May yesterday1.

When the men decided to return to work Saturday night, In accordance with a letter received from President Nicholls, they appointed the same committee as had spoken to Captain May before to inform him of their decision The committee went to Scranton yesterday afternoon and as eoon as they told Mr. May that they return to work he stated that they could make a thorough examination of the scale to be sure of its correctness and if found'to be incorrect it would be corrected. A committee of men were to meet Superintendent Jennings this morning and arrange for some day to make the test of the scale. From the answer given the miners it can be seen that the only reason Mr. May would not grant the request of the men was that he wished them to make it as employes and hot as strikers.

It is likely now that the matter will be settled without any recourse to the Conciliation Board. A TOHCH A Crowd of Young Men Residing Upper Pittston Before tie Mayor Last Night A number1 of young fellows ranging between the ages of 16 and 21 years, who reside In Upper Pittston, were before Mayor Langan last evening on the charge of annoying some girls who reside In that neighborhood. The arrests were made on complaint of David Van Auken, of Union street, who alleged that his daughters had been insulted while walking on the street. Six boys were in the party and two of them were more seriously Charged. Mr.

Van Auken said that on the night of Aug. 17 twp boys entered his house and made their escape on being discovered. One of the boys he was unable to recognize but the second he identified as one of the boys arrested, as did his daughter, who also saw them escaping, and was present at the hearing. Mr. Van Auken said that he did not wish to be too severe on the youths and would not press his charges this time, provided they promised to behave themselves.

This the boys very readily did in order to escape punishment and after receiving a severe reprimand from Mayor Langan, who threatened that they would not get off so easily next time they were permitted to depart. The young men can be thankful that Mr. Van Auken did not care to press them too far for it would undoubtedly have resulted in a term at a reformatory for one of them at lea3t EARLfillBE Damage Done the Sheridan Property, In Upper Pittston, Shortly After Midnight About 12:15 this morning fire was discovered in the summer kitchen attached to the residence of Mrs. Michael Sheridan on DeWitt street The family were aroused by neighbors and an alarm of fire sent in. Before the companies came a bucket brigade was formed and the flames were kept spreading to the house, which was only a few feet away.

When the companies arrived they made short work of the flames, which were extinguished with littl'e'flifficulty. The contents of the summer kitchen were destroyed but the house was undamaged. Bicycles and machinery repaired properly. Jas. Burke, No.

Is itX The beginning cf rJf.) CtTTEB FACTICS5 CSLT 'SLATE. McLaln proposes W. 8. Scott for State Senator Slow Progresa MPandemo nlum Broke Loote Raede Refused to Cash Up. It was a badly mixed up state of affairs that confronted the Democratic party at the armory' in Wilkesharre this morning' when the time arrived for opening the county and congressional conventions to place in nomination a set of candidate's to' come before the people next It was a state of chaos in everx sense of the word and it can be truly stated that neither the leaders nor the delegates knew where they were at.

During the night several attempts were made to fix matters up and a half dozen slates were attempted, but the various factions that have so aire ly rended the Democracy in old Lu zerne could not be suited. Early this morning an aggregation of bolting delegates numbering nearly. 200 pledged opposition to the candidates previously announced and talked wildly of making up a slate headed by Stanley W. Davenport, for Congress. Coming as it did only a few hours before the convention, this revolt knocked all previous calculations sky high.

This forenoon matters were no nearer adjustment Rumors were current that several candidates had withdrawn and for awhile it looked as if there would be no ticket at all. John T. Lenahan appeared at headquarters In the Exchange hotel early this morning and it Is safd; insisted on George of Plains, receiving the controllershtp nomination. This was displeasing to many, and Martin Mulderlg and hlsv friends immediately announced that they, would bolt the ticket if Phillips, of Kingston, was turned down to make room for Sniffer. Raeder is reported to have pos tively refused to put money into the convention to help pay expenses and this caused a discord among the other candidates who were willing to pay their share but objected to paying money for James Barrett got disgusted with affairs and announced his withdrawal from the race for the recordership.

The delegates from the lower end were given' a disappointment' by the announcement that Eckley Coxe would not allow his name to go before the convention for state senator. Thus the offices went a begging and at one time it looked as If the only thing to be done was to turn in and endorse the Republican ticket. The perfect harmony 'that exists in the Republican party and tha strong ticket they have placed in, the field has given the Democratic aspirants a trad case of fright and they hesitate about entering into a fight that is al ready considered a lost one. The Morning Session. Only about one half the delegates' were in the armory when the cpnven: tlon was called to order at 11 o'clock one hour late.

County Chairman Davenport presided, and announced that it would be necessary to hold a separate convention for naming a state senator, but that the congres sional and county conventions would be combined. John Shea offered a resolution naming six men. as a com mittee on contested Beats but as Shea was not a delegate the resolution was declared out of order. A delegare then offered the same resolution but It was defeated, and the chairman was authorized to name the committees, which be did as follows: Committed on resolutions Joseph Loftus, of Pittston; L. K.

Streng, of Wtesi Pittston; Adami haoffnagh, DanieJ McGeean, James Hardlman, K. Sosnoswski. Committee on contested seats Mosleller, D. B. Breihoff, T.

M. Moyles, A. Twiner, Edward tiaines, James Howley, Nicholas En gle. On organization Schott, Jacob Brting, W. O.

Belding, T. Mc Donough, M. Ji VanHorn and Patrick Whaleh. The convention then adjourned to meet again at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. Many conjectures were made as to how things weuld be patched up during the noon recess, but everyone was at sea and unable to solve the puzzle.

Afternoon At 3 o'clock the. senatorial convention was called to order. The roll was called hastily and immediately adjournment was voted. The county and congressional convention was then galled to order. The reports of committees' were called for.

The committee on contested seats reported a contest'Jn the fourth district of West Pittston, George Santoii ad Thomas Simoaon each claiming the seat The committee seated Slmoson.

The report showed 91 arrests during the month, 61 fines paid, two committed to county jail, 19 committed to city jail and nine discharged. The amount collected from fines during the month was which $314.14 was turned over to the city treasurer and the balance used for expenses of special officers, detective fees, etc. Tho report was received.

An invitation was read from the fire department of the city inviting the mayor and both councils to participate in the Fireman's day parade, September 14. On motion of Mr. Loughney, seconded by Mr. Murphy, the invitation was accepted by select council. A communication was then read from the Niagara Engine Co.

asking the support of the council in helping to entertain the visiting fire companies. Mr. Smith on, behalf of the Eagles, asked the same, and Fire Chief J. J. Hart spoke in favor of the measure.

A resolution was introduced by Mr. Meister, seconded by Mr. Loughney, that the council pledge its support for the passage of an ordinance giving each company $150 from the contingent fund of the treasury. The resolution passed without dissent. The ordinance, 'To provide for the construction of a lateral sewer on Elizabeth and East street from Railroad street and of bouse connections from lateral sewer to the curb line, directing the manner of assessing and collecting the cost of said improvements and providing for the payment of the costs and expenses thereof," passed third and final reading, all the members present voting for the measure.

A concurrent resolution was introduced that the city solicitor be directed to attend the next meeting of councils and bring with him the contract existing between the city and the Spring Brook Water Supply so councils would be able to tell just what kind of a contract exists. Some members were opposed to the passage of the resolution and 4 roll call showed Messrs. Meister and Loughney to be the op ponents. The resolution was there fore adopted. The following ordinances were introduced: By Mr.

Murphy appropriating $150 to Niagara Engine Co. Referred to committee. By Loughney, appropriating $150 to Eagle Engine Co. Referred to committee. Mr.
