CONVENTION OF THE THIRD.
It Will Co Held In tho Arbitration Room
cm April in.
The Republican standing committee
of the Third Legislative district met In
tho court house yesterday afternoon
and decided to hold the district conven
tion for tho purpose of electing a state
delegate In the arbitration room of the
court house on Thursday, April Id. The
primaries will be held on the preceding
Tuesday.
The members of the committee who
attended yesterday's meeting were:
Dal ton, Giles Roberts; Lackawanna,
South district, William Thomas; Lack
awanna, East district, Zack Gray;
Lackawanna, West district, John Mc
Crlndle; Lackawanna, Southwest dis
trict, Adam Fnsshuld; Newton, J. D.

lor, Second ward. Dr. J. W. Houser;
Taylor. Fourth ward, William P. Grif
fiths; La Plume, R. H. Holgate. John
McCrlndlewas chairman and Dr. Hous
er, secretnry.
The motion to select the above men
tioned dntes for the primaries and con
vention was made by Dr. Houser and
was unanimously concurred in. After
the task of fixing the date naa oeen
accomplished Dr. Houser called the at
tention of the members of the commit
tee to the corrupt uso of money in the
district.
"It's no use In being mealy-mouthed
about this matter," said the doctor,
"for It's auite generally understood
that boodle Is extensively used in the
district. Candidates for the leglsla
ture know that a Republican nomlna'
tlon Is usually equivalent to an election
and many who have aspired to legis
lative honors can testify that It is not
nlwnvs the man who has the majority
of the delegates elected for him who Is
nominated. I think it is time we put
the stamp of our disapproval on the
corrupt practices tnai nave men iui
evptprl In the nast."
Chairman McCrlndle also thought
that something should be done but
did not suggest a remedy or a way to
brine about a reform. James is. wat
klns thought the matter should be
brought to the attention of the coming
convention when the committee on res
olutions could bring in a report that
would express the sentiments of the
voters of the district on the matter.
Dr. Houser remarked that resolutions
were all right In their way but that
In this occasion something stronger
wns needed. No definite action on the
matter was taken and tne meeting ad
journed. .

ware merchant. Attorney 8. B. Price
represented the plaintiff and Hon.
Lemuel Atnerman and Attorney M. J.
Martin appeared for the defendant.

claim for $.'i0 for professional services
for. the plaintiff at the time of the dis
solution of partnership of the firm of
Howlef Brothers. The defendant swore
that all the plaintiff did was to prepare
two deeds, draw up two contracts, and
adjust the business of the dissolution of
the firm. Mr. Hawley received $100 for
his services and tho defendant thought
that this was compensation enough.
The $250 sued for Is In excess of the
payment already made. A verdict for
the plaintiff In the sum of $200 was
rendered by the Jury.
The next case before Judge Edwards
was that of the Green Ridge Lumber
company against Patrick Ruane and
Ann Ruane, his wife. Attorney J. W.
Carpenter represented the plaintiff and
Attorneys Joseph O'Brien and M. E.
McDonald appeared for the defendant.
The plaintiff built a house for the
Ruancs two years ago for $584. It wns
an ordinary frame building two stories
high, 'JO by 28 feet, and not plastered,
but painted with one coat. The defend
ants refused to pay more than $300 on
the ground that the house was not built
according to agreement. The plain
tiff's claim with Interest now amounts
to about $025. The jury retired to de
liberate at adjournment

Providence Milling company and or
dered from Charles Maynard $66.22
