Never iu its history has tho parish of St.

Patrick's, at Audeinied, witnessed a ceremony as grand aud solemn as that of last evening when the first annual May reception of the B. V. M. Sodality was held and one hundred young ladies took the solemn vows which completed their membership to the society. Every inch of available room in the church was occupied and many had to turn away on account of the crowd that sought admittance.

People were in attendance from every town the region, The one hundred young ladies were at tired in white dresses and white veils and carried lighted candles. The occasion was a solemn one and, being the first of its kind in the church. will be long remembered. Rev. Father O'Rourke, of Wilkes-Barre, preached the sermon.

He was eloquent in his re marks and delivered his sermon in the interesting and instructive style by which he has on many previous occasions reached the hearts of the people in this region. Father O'Rourke has few equals as an orator in this section of the State and last night he was at his best. He dwelt on the objects of the society, the love and honor which is due the Blessed Virgin aud the favors granted those who ask her intercession for obtaining grace. He spoke for near- an hour and pointed out to the candi dates the obligations which they were about to assume. The order of the program was well ar ranged in the following order: 'Tis the Month of Our Mother," "Litany," "Venia Sermon, Purest of "Ava Maria," Reception, 'Bring Flowers of the Fairest," Bene diction, Salutari," "Tantnm Ergo," "Laudato Dominum."

The Democratic party has seen many prologned and bitter struggles and on numerous occasions ad- vantage was Uken by political heelers of the freedom accorded them by the peo- nle.

Kisner, Jim Collins and others, on various occasions played the trump card with effect although always with at least some degree of fairness to ward the opposition forces, things were altogether different on Satnrday in Harmony Hall where there was every thing but the "harmony." John Biselow. ambitions, young and reckless, who several years ago niado bis advent into Fourth District politics and who was blown with the free silver wave, displayed an amount of arrogance totally incompatible with common, every day Democratic principles.

Democrats Everywhere. The town was filled with Democrats during the morning and it was surpris ing to note tho interest in the fight oon sidering that the country is at war with a foreign power. The local war, how ever, fought with mouth tud fists and clubs, was decidedly more important from a Democratic standpoint and while no "war extras" were issued dnring tho terrific bombardment, metaphorically and literally speaking, the populace in the viciuity of Harmony Hall was suffl ciently excited to load to the belief that a serious rumpus was on the tapis.

As the morning hours waned on, the misery of Bigolow and his handful of supporters meanwhile increasing, it was painfully evident to this uowly born free silvor Democrat that his finish was near at haud. Therefore, a compromise was suggested whereby it was agreed by the Bigelow nion to throw two of their dulogates overboard if the other faction would drop llaulou and consent to the selection of the now famous Coiidy O'Boyle. of Freeland. This offer of surrender was flatly refused by the other leaders determined that while the defeat ol liigelow was imminent it might as woll be the finished ui tielo as only a job half done The Door Was Locked. I.

lie time or the convention was officially set for 2 o'clock, fifteen utes prior to which time numerous dele gates, all representing tho auli-Oarmau faction, gathered near the hall in the hope of gaining admission and al a seat for the reason that seats were in demand for such an excellent miniature production of the funny part of the Walter L. Main's Greatest and Graudest on Earth. The door leading to the convention hall, where the Democrats have often met and fought, was locked, explanation for which was given in the statement that manager Bigelow was still patch ing up his broken down fences some where out of sight. None of his dele gates were at the rear door but when they did come, headed by Mr. Bigelow, the door was immediately opened aud iu rushed delegates, spectators every Doay.

Lattie consideration was given to the reservation of seats or the de maud for tickets and the man who got there first held what seating room he occupied. The Fun Begins- It was not long until the circus opened with the-ouly-Bigelow in the chair and Secretary McGill as ring master. Chair man Bigelow announced the object of the convention and called for the list of the convention. Secretary McGill, obeying orders, read the list of just twenty-three names which, according to the chairman's mathematics, was a majority of the forty-four delegates of the district. The other delegates, the majority of the convention, were not to accorded any representation at all; they were told by tho "boss" that there uotbiug further to do, Tor the reason, apparently, that they had refused to rogiarer iu the morning, Moll Louie l'aiichfd.

This raised a toss. Attorney Frank Needham, himself a delegate, asked for rales of the party to which Bigelow replied that be bad never received them A To 2.25 2.50 3 375 5.50 6.50 12.00 6 50 725 Lace so great was the confusion and the excitement. The exit of the chairman and the secretary at this stage had a somewhat temporizing effect and amid confusion Attorney Frank Needham, who maintained his equilibrium all through, appealed to the Democrats to restore order aud proceed with: business. He supplemented his appeal by placing D. B.

Briehof in nomination for temporary shairman which was carried unanimously, the Uarman delegates ret fusing to sit in the convention. Peter Gallagher was selected as temporary secretary, credentials were presented and the temporary organisation was made permanent. Chairman Briehof. then announced the following oommit- tee on resolutions; Frank Needham, JTrank uaiiagner, uenuis uonneu, Patrick Timony and John J. MoOee-han.

Delegates Elected. Nominations for state delegates hav. ing been called for, the names of Harry W. Jacobs, James P. Gorman and Ed ward Haulon were presented.

Frank Needham and John J. McGeehan were chosen tellers. Before ajvote was taken delegate Patrick Smith, of Milneiville, asked for information in a request for a statement as to the cause of all the disruption. Chairman Briehof professed ignorance or any special reason and business was hurried along. The firs ballot resulted iu the election of Messrs.

Jacobs, Gorman and Hanlon eaoh having received 30 votes, a majority of 12 1 of all the delegates elected. The resolutions presented by the com mittee on resolutions re-affirmed adherence to the Chicago platform; de nounced the Republican party; called for the election of Democrats to the various positions of honor and trust; and instructed the state delegates to use their utmost endeavor to place a good state ticket in the field. The resolutions were unanimously adopted and the regular convention adjourned. The Rump Convention-The adjournment of the regular con vention caused no general rush for the nearest means of exit and the delegates aud spectators, divinging further trouble, remained. Chairman Bigolow, who re appeared on the scene, requested that the hall be cleared bo that business could be proceeded with but his request, like his appeal for votes, fell on deaf ears and all remained standing or sitting.

Finally tho proprietor of the hall was called on to interfere but he too was unable to get rid of the obstreporons spec tutors whose purpose in remaining was to set a plumb line on Bigelow Democracy as expounded by the one and only Bigelow. Chagrined and discouraged, Mr. Bigelow announced a reoess until 3:30 hoping in the meantime to get rid of the troublesome hall full of interested Democrats. In this he was unsuccessful and finally ho and his little band of Gar-1 man luubtuiiiHtH ueiu kuuir ruuip uuuveii" tion in a room on the second floor whore ui they went through the mouth motion of nominating and choosing delegates, adopting resolutions and oondeming honest Democrats because they 'did not assimilate with party disrupters.
