The formal opening of W. H. Appel's new jewelry store, at 625 Hamilton Street, formerly Massey's old stand, took place last night. The opening was an unqualified success regardless of the unfavorable weather. The store was very elaborately decorated with palms and otilier tropical plants from' Ellsworth's.

This establishment never looked so bright nor was it ever so resplendent with any stock of jewelry. The amount of stock was a revelation to those who had not yet visited the place. The show cases, cabinets and shelves are all filled with watches, rings, gems, silverware, cutlery, clocks, bric-a-brac, optical supplies and everything else1 that can be found in a first-class jewelry establishment. The visitors were received by Mr. Appel and ihis clerks and everybody was delighted with the display.

In his new store, which has been renovated and the interior rearranged and enlarged, Mr. Appel has a chance to carry and exhibit a larger stock than ever before and it Is second to none in the Lehigh Valley. Curing the years he has been in business in this city he has established a most envi able reputation. It is everywhere known that his word is as good as his bond and that a purchase at his store carries with it a guarantee of good quality. During the openling, which lasted from 7.30 to 11 o'clock, musio was furnished by the Allentown Band orchestra.

LIST OF' DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES All the Candidates Have Now Been Turned Loose and Started in on the Buttonholing Business Early This Morning.

Last night at 12 o'clock the time ended for the registration of candidates for the Democratic nominations for this year's ticket. At the last moment there was an exciting time in connection with the registration for jury commissioner. Up to yesterday the only candidate for this office was E. Abiah Jacoby, of Walbert's. Mr.

Jacoby is a son of the late Edwin Jacoby. He is a carpet weaver and has a candy shop at Walbert's in connection with his carpet business. This young man is a very worthy and respectable citizen, but for some reason or other he wasn't favored by the Democratic leaders, and there was also considerable opposition to him from his own township. As the closing hours drew near more influential opposition against Mr. Jacoby developed.

A number of South Whitehall citizens held a caucus and agreed to present Phaon Hammel as a candidate, provided no other man from the country would register for the same office. Mr. Hammel planked down his $15 about 6 o'clock last night. In the meantime, however, a number of prominent Allentown workers had determined to register some well known and influential Democrat from the section south of Allentown and they selected Henry R. Hangen, of Lower Milford, for the honor.

The jury com-missionership has gone north of Allen town for the last 24 years and it was thought proper to give the southern end a chance. Mr. at first declined, as he had aspirations in another direction, but his friends insisted and he was registered at ten minutes to midnight. Mr. Hangen is a very progressive farmer and a highly respected citizen with a wide acquaintance all over the county.

He is still a young man, being about 35 years old, but he has had considerable experience in politics. He has been committeeman from his dis trict for many years and has figured in several state conventions. He is very level-headed and has an academic education. From the strong influences backing him there is no doubt that he will make the nomination. Mr.

Hammel will probably withdraw to-day. The list of re'gistrations follows: CLERK OF QUARTER SESSIONS. Allen J. Trump, Salisbury. Oscar P.

The first victim was Mary Steinmetz, a widow, aged 45 years, who was living with two sisters and a brother about a mile from Jack-sonwald, east of Reading. Mrs. 'Steinmetz was in the kitchen working, and her two sisters, smelling smoke, began an investigation. Upon reaching the bake oven they found their sister in flames. How the accident occurred is not known.

As no outcry was heard, and the unfortunate woman was subject to epilepsy, it is supposed she fell into the fire during a fit. The second victim was Florence, wife of Irwin Miller, of Reading, who accidentally set her dress on fire at the stove. In an instant the flames entirely enveloped the woman. Her screams brought assistance, and, with the aid of carpets and water.the burning clothing was extinguished. This was not accomplished, however, before the body of the woman was shockingly burned.

Her face, hands and almost the entire body was a mass of blisters. She was taken to the Reading Hospital, where she died last night. Her age was 22 years. SERIOUS ENDING OF A JOKE. Young: Easton Man Shot While Trying to Frighten a Frieid.

Between 11 and 12 o'clock Tuesday night a number of young men in Easton decided to play a joke on one of their friends and scare him. Accordingly they laid a trap for their unsuspecting comrade into which he fell some time later. From accounts he must have been frightened pretty badly, as he suddenly drew a revolver and shot in the direction of the people he saw. The bullet took effect in the thigh of one who turned out to be a friend. A physician was hastily summoned, and the ball removed from the young man's leg.

Since the occurrence the parties interested have kept very quiet about it. Nurses Addressed by Dr. Pepper. Dr. William Pepper, ex-provost of the University of Pennsylvania.

Caught OFFICER FREDERICK'S CLEVER WORK Mystery of Numerous Robberies May Now be Cleared Up One of the Gang Squeals and Another Surrenders. Stirred up by the numerous burglaries that have been committed in Allen-town lately Officer Harry Frederick put his detective abilities to work and through his efforts three important arrests were made last night. The prisoners are known to have been implicated in at least one burglary and, it is believed, they know about three or four more. Through Mr. Frederick's clever work, it is believed, the rascals will soon )fe brought to Justice.

On Tuesday night the store of Edward Roeder, on Turner aside of the Seventh Ward school house, was entered and a lot of chewing tobacco, cigarettes', candy and soft drinks were stolen. Frederick learned through the hostler at Tritschler's bakery that chewing tobacco and cigarettes were stored in Tritschler's stable by a boy named Harry Arner. Accompanied by Sergeant Knauss the officer arrested Arner at the stable at 8 o'clock last night and brought him to the mayor's office. He made a confession to the mayor and implicated Edward Miller and Clinton Lawall. The three had planned the robbery and after they had gotten the goods took it to the barn in Losch's orchard, on Lawrence Street, where they' divided the booty.

The barn has been the rendezvous of these characters, who often slept there. It was a sort of a club house where they gathered and drank beer. After Arner had confessed Officers Frederick, Smith, Krum and House Sergeant Knauss went to the barn and after surrounding it succeeded in capturing several young fellows, among whom was Edward Miller, who has just lately retuined from the penitentiary. The entire crowd was brought to the mayor's office, but Miller was found to the only one implicated. When Arner was arrested an ugly 3S-calibre re- voiver was found upon him: Charges the store of Koeder and ana inst Ai-npr for carrying concealed deadly weapons.

They were sent to jail by the alderman for a hearing on Monday evening. Officer Frederick had heard that La-wall, the third man implicated, was at his step-father's house at 19 South Fourth Street. The boy's name is Clinton Newhard, but his step-father is Mr. Lawall and he goes by the name of Clinton Lawall. A number of surrounded the rrouse.

Admission was denied them and the inmates said Lawall wasn't there. The police persevered and shortly before 1 o'clock Lawall surrendered. He was lucked up at the Central Fire and Police Station. Lawall will have a hearing with the other two. He says he won't squeal.

He has served a term at the Huntingdon Reformatory. SCHOOL TEACHERS ELECTED. Snpt. Rnpp Malting Ei-pid Progress With the Examinations. County Superintendent Alvin.
