AND EXPECT TO GET THE SEATS Right of the County Committee to Elaet Delegates for the Legislative Dlstrlots Is Strongly Questioned Dele gates Chosen In First District. "The delegation to the Democratic state convention elected last night will vote as Harrlty wants them to or they will not get a seat in that convention," said a well-known Democrat yester duy. "How can It be prevented," queried a Tribune reporter. "That's easy enough. It l open to snious doubt If the election of the dele gates by the county committee wus not , Illegal and the different legisla tive districts will proceed to elect del egate with the result that there will be contests in the state convention. If Hurrity controls that body, us he un doubtedly will, I venture to predict that the antls will not be seated." There was much speculation and gos sip in political circles yesterday as to what the result of Tuesday night's ac tion by the county committee will be. It lias set Hurrtty'a friends to work, and they will try to secure the elec tion in. tho four legislative districts of the county of delegates favorable to him. On Sept. 19, lSt)4. ut the last con vention of the First legislative district P. F. MeCann and F. M. Vandllng were chosen to represent that district at the state convention to be held next month In. Allentown. - P. J. McCormack, of Ulakcly, chairman of the Fourth dis trict legislative committee, has culled a meeting- to be held In Carbondalc on Murcli lti to select delegates to the state convention to represent that dis trict, and similar action It is expected will be taken. In the other twot legis lative districts. JtCLKS OF THK PAItTY. In August. 188a. rules for the govern ment of the Democratic party of the county were adopted which provided for the method of conducting primary elections, holding of conventions, etc. The county conventions were to name county nominees, and nt the same time chose legislative and senatorial candi dates when such offices were to be filled. The county committee was to consist of eleven members, and they were em powered to select delegates to the stale convention for the different legislative districts, of the county. This duty was never performed by the county committee until l.SflO and then It caused a desperate fight among the different factions. The part of the rules concerning the nominntlng of leg islative and senatorial candidates was never observed and the rule concern ing the size of the county committee has also been regarded as a dead let ter. It now consists of thirty-nine members. It Is therefore contended by the Harrlty men that the present county committee has no legal exist ence, and that it had no power what ever to elect state delegates. At the county convention on Sept. 11, 18W. Wr. J. Burke offered the following resolution for the purpose of changing the method of electing state delegates: Resolved, That the rules of the Demo cratic party of Iackawanna county relat ing to the state convention be so amended nnd the same are hereby amended that hereafter delegates to tho stule conven tion shall be elected by elegates In the several representative districts which shall have been called for that purpose. SAID TO HAVE NO FORCE. This resolution was adopted but was said to have no force from the fact that the convention was called to nominate candidates for county offices only and therefore could not legally act on a resolution changing the rules of the party. Nevertheless the Democrats of the First legislative district who met a week later to nominate a candidate for representative on the strength of the Burke resolution elected P. F. McCann nnd K. M. Vandllng as the delegates to represent that district at the next state convention. P. F. McCann was one of the members of the county com mittee who on Tuesday night agreed to the election of John K. Gaffney as the West Side delegate of the First district which honor was conferred on Mr. Mc Cann over a year and a half before. Whether or not Mr. McCann will urge his claims is not known but certain it is that Mr. Vandllng will. A very pretty squabble at Allentown Is certain unless the matter is patched up by the men elected Tuesday night agreeing1 to vote for Harrlty. If they don't do this their seats will be contested on the ground that they were elected by a county committee that was not formed in accordance with the party rules and even the rules will be attacked on the ground tliut they have never been observed. The antls will object to the seating of Har rlty delegates on a number of grounds but principally for the reason tliut the county convention hud no power to uct upon the Burke resolution. Altogether a beautiful struggle is promised. - HAS PHILADELPHIA MOVED? No, but the Central Railroad of New Jersey Is always moving.

The two girls), Kittle Lewis and Lizzie Purks, were detained us witnesses and much against their will were remanded to the care of the agent of the Associated Charities to be Immured in the House of the Good Shepherd until the, grand Jury meets. Mrs. Bellman stoutly protested her Innocence, maintaining that she kept nothing but a bourdlng house. The Lewis girl explained her presence In Mrs. Bellman's by saying that she was the cook. The Parks girl claimed to be a seamstress, und that she has been sewing for Mrs. Bellman for the lust two weeks. TOLD PITIFUL STORIES. The men who were arrested In the raid told the muyor u pitiful Btory of how they were deceived us to the char acter of tlie place, und how much It tilled them with regret to discover that they had frequented such a resort even though they were Innocent of its char acter. They hail from Olyphant and consequently could not be expected to know the character of tlie place. It was their misfortune, they said, to meet Miss Parks at a Hook and Ladder ball in Turner hall some weeks ugu, and being particularly Impressed with her graclousness they craved the privilege of calling on her. She assent ed. They came to town Tuesday night on a business trip, and while alighting from the Delaware and Hudson train at 9.10 it occurred to them that they might take advantage of the permis sion which Miss Parks had granted them some weeks before and so they went and made the call, POLICE SWOOPED DOWN. They had not been In the house over five minutes when the police came down upon the place. Had they had a few minutes more grace they would have been gone from the house as they had Just about realized what kind of a place the terrible Miss Parks had Inveigled them Into. The mayor list ened to their story with a sympathetic air, and then, much to their surprise, fined them S5 for allowing themselves to be led astray. They smiled a guilty sort of a smile, the muyor smiled know ingly and then they left $5 apiece poor er. When Mrs. Duggan and the two offic ers took the two girls out of their cell to convey them to the House of the Good Shepherd there was a scene the like of which probably never before was witnessed in the station house. Both begged plteously not to be sent to the House of the Good Shepherd saying they would go anywhere in preference. When the mayor declined to change his sentence the Parks girl fairly went Into hysterics and throwing herself at the mayor's feet she begged on her knees to be sent anywhere else. The mayor however could not be moved and the girls had to submit to the fate they so dreaded. DICKSON CO. ELECTION. Officers Chosen at tho Annual Meeting Held Vcstordav.

AN ABUNDANCE OF SNOW The beautiful Hayed Havoc Kith Electric Car Service. ROADS WERE ALL BLOCKADED Storm Was Marked by Many DIUiard Like Effects-Predictions Say the End la Not Yet -Trouble on the Steam Roada. It looked very much, yesterday, as if the memorable blizzard of March 12, 1SS8, was to be repeated. Eight years ago today that famous storm was upon us, and it come much us the present storm did. A large, damp flukey kind of snow first set in, which, In the course of a day or so, assumed a pulverized nature by reason of the cold wind which rose. Yesterday ufternoon's United Press weather report, received at The Tribune ut 2 o'clock p. m., prog nosticated more snow and colder weu tit er. These, conditions, if fulfilled, may result in a repetition of the blizzard. The New York Herald's forecast, printed yesterduy morning, also has a bllzzardy flavor: 'Unless all signs fall, this city may look forward to a very respectable blizzard within the next thirty-six hours a bill iard which outjht to lilt us on the same day of the month which was made memo rable by the celebrated blizzard of March Vi, IViS. As this U un even number year, it is best to be prepared for all sorts of odd' things. The storm was central at 8 o'clock last night over the edge of tho Uulf coast, in the vicinity of Port Kads, La., and was moving slowly northeastward, heavy rainfall, accompanied by a fall In tho barometer, denoting the presence of un Important cyclone. Tbe rainfall at Mobile, Ala., measured four inches la fourteen hours. At soon as It reaches a point east of the Alleghunles un increase in the force of the storm may be expected. It will move up through the Carolinas toward Vir ginia this morning, passing over tho lat ter state this uftertiuon. Its track Is such that It will probably develop by the time It reaches us all the elements of a first-class blizzard, with tearing winds and abundant snow, l.uok out for plenty of the "beautiful" on your sidewalks .tomorrow morning, und if you've put the children's sleds away for the winter get them out again, for they may be needed. The blizzard will doubtless extend over the northern portion of the Middle state an. I he dangerous to shipping from Cape llatteras to Boston. MODERATED AT NIGHT. So fur tho weather prophets have prophesied urlght. The blizzard, for yesterday's storm was of such propor tions as to deserve this title, struck this region early in the afternoon and continued until nbottt lOo'coIck at night when it gradually began to subside. The cessation of the wind caused It to grow somewhat warmer, as was pre dicted in the l'nited Press report and at 11 o'clock It was not at all dlsagree uble abroad. Whether or not the "more now and colder" purt of the prediction will prove true remains to be seen. About six inches of snow fell in this city and immediate vicinity and on Po cono which always goes to extremes in everything pertaining to winter weath er the fall was about the same. The only train which was delayed to any ex tent was the New York train scheduled to arrive at 8.50 p. m. which did not reach here till 10 o'clock. Coal and freight trains were all more or less de layed but none were completely stalled. The street car people however did not 'fare so well. Every road In the city was completely tied up at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Cars were run, or rath er were walked, at irregular Intervals and with much difficulty up to that time, but for four or five hours there after there were few wheels turning except those on the snow sweepers. At 10 o'clock the dispatcher's ofllce re ported the Providence and Green Ridge Peoples' lines as practically open nnd soon after that hour three cars coupled together succeeded In wriggling down from Olyphant and other points above the city where they were stalled. All the hands that the company could mus ter were kept at work at night so that the road may be in running order to day. HARVEST FOR CABMEN. The cabmen as Is their want on such occasions gave undeniable evidence of their being In dire need of money. Double rates were charged to all luck less Individuals who were forced to sub mit to their demands. Yesterday's was the heaviest fall of snow of the present winter. MADE AN AWFUL RACKET. Drunk or Crazy Man Makes Night Hideous Around the Station House. The noisiest man that has occupied a cell In the central station house for some time was there lust night. He was wandering around In the blizzard on Luckuwanna avenue when two of the patrolmen picked him up und towed him to the lockup. As soon as the heavy hand of the law fell upon him he begun to make himself heard und from the time of his uirest ut tl o'clock until the time of going to press lie kept up a continual yelling nnd screeching. About 8 o'clock Desk Sergeant Delter with the ahl of two pairs of handcuffs shackled him to the burs of his cell but this did not cause lilin to subside. He kept pounding the bracelets ugulnst the bars, kicking the side of tho cell und yelling at the top of his voice, milk ing life miserable for the other unfortu nates who hud to spend the night there und attracting the attention of every body who chanced to puss that way. The name of the fellow is not known and whether he is crazy or suffering from a case of delirium tremens is also unknown. COEL'R DE LION OFFICERS.
