CHAIRMAN O'NEILL
PASSED THIS JAY
And in Pas sin He Wa Reminded of the
. County Convention,
WILL GET TOGETHER THIS WEEK

Being Tail ed of for the Congres
sional Flght"iossip of the Legis
lative Fights.
County Chairman James J. O'NeWs
presence in this city yesterduy, on his
way to the municipal convention at
Wililumsport. seemed to stir tip the
lethargic Democrats to the fact that
they are supposed to have a conven
tion sometime this fall. Previous to
yesterduy when any ot the local leaders
were Interrogated as to the possible
time of holding the convention, the
reply would Invariably be: "Haven't
heard anything about it; what do you
hear, yourself?"
Mr. O'Neill evidently met someone
here during his wait between trains
who reminded him of the approaching
election, and ho scurried about among
some of the leaders asking them to look
the tiling over and be prepared to dis
cuss tile question when he returned
from Williamniiort, which will be Fri
day or Saturday.
CON O RKS S ! O X A T. A S P 1 1 1 A X TS.
There are any number of candidates
for county ciuiimlslsoiic r and county
aiiilllnr. but as yet only one man has
openly avowed his candidacy for con
gress. Tills individual Is Attorney Na
than Vidnver. A enucus among the
leading Democrats yesterday would in
dicate that while tie- subject is begin
ning to lie discussed there Is no cryslul
lyxlng of sentiment as to the likely man.
In some itiai'ters Colonel Flank Fitz
slminoitM was the guess. Others won Id
have it that IMwanl Alerrilleld is ang
ling for It. nnd still others expressed the
belief that Cily Treasurer C. ;. I tola ml
would be the num.
County Treasurer C. H. Scliadl. ex
County Treasurer l. .1. Campbell ami
several other old line Democrats held u
consultation yesterday and the sub
ject matter was I). J. Campbell and
the congressional nomination. Mr.
Campbell, so one of Hie Deinocrullc
standing committee said to a Tribune
man. in conversation last night, said
that there was no scramble for the of
fice, ami feeling that he would like to
enter the arena, and that he could win
over his party to popocracy, called to
gether some of Ills friends to advise with
him.
CAM PP.F.I.T. IS AV1U-INC.
.lust what came of the conference Is
not public property as yet, but it Is
safe to surmise Hint Mr. Campbell Is In
the Held. The fact thut Mr. Campbell's
old-time enemies have declared them
selves out of polities Is given as an add
ed reason for his willingness to offer
himself to the convention.
The legislative lights promise to be
the warmest, taken all around, thut
have been waged in the county In many
yeurs. In the First district, where a
iteptiblican tiomlnution means an elec
tion. Hie battle Is being fought with un
usual vigor.
In the Third district finite a stir was
created yesterday by the rumor that
Frank til-over, of Moosle. who was de
feated by Dr. Mackey, of Waverly, in
the convention last week, proposes to
run Independent. William l.ltts, Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western sta
tion agent at Clark's Summit, will most
likely be the Democratic nominee.
The Second district Democratic com
mittee will meet at the St. Charles hotel
tonight to tlx a. dnte for holding the
district convention to nominate an op
ponent to Hon. A. T. Council. Henry T.
Koeliler ex-register of wills, nnd Hon.
John P. Quinnnn are the leading candi
dates. Select Councilman M. 13. Clarke, of
the Sixth ward. Is out for the ollice of
county commissioner.
TO DISCUSS ASSESSMENT.
Hoard of Revision nnd Appcnls Will
.Meet Tomorrow Afternoon.
The board of revision nnd appeals
will meet Thursday afternoon to dis
cuss the proposed now assessment. Al
though select council advised against
It, the board may nevertheless direct
the asscisment to bo made, it being
in its power to take such stops with
out consulting councils.
The members of the board are in
favor ot making the assessment but
may be restrained by councils' re
fusal to ac'iniesce.

WAS NO FOUL PLAY.
The Opiuioa of County JH-tcrtive ill
the Carroll Case.
County Detective Leyshon Is of the
opinion that Thomas Carroll, of Car
bondale, who was found unconscious at
an early hour last Wednesday morn
ing at the corner ot Delaware and Sus
quehanna streets in Olyphant borough,
his head covered with contused wounds,
his skull fractured at the base of the
brain, and general indications of foul
play being strongly presented In his
condition, was nut murdered, but that
he sustained these wounds from fall
ing. Mr. Leyshon's opinion is quite gen
erally shared among the people of Oly
phant, who saw the deceased the night
before he was found in the condition
which resulted In his death. He was
under the Influence of liquor and being
unable to take care of himself wandered
around helplessly, and In one of his falls
struck heavily on his head against u
stone post or the the curbing.
There was no provocation for an as
sault. He was Inoffensive nnd peace
able, and there was no motive for rob
bery, as he had no money in his pockets,
except a few cents.
SHE ISCRAZY.
Maggie Montgomery, Well known in
Police Circles, Succumbs to the
InevitableShe Raves.
A notorious police character has gone
crazy. It Is "Mulberry Mag," or Mrs.
Maggie Montgomery, known to all de
grees of drunkenness. People who un
fortunately live near her hovel ou Oak
street, lit Taylor, thiiiK her mad. and
yesterday evening they were made more
sure of it. by her frightful antics.
The Montgomery woman lives with a
Mrs. Mni'un. another drinker, nnd the
two had several friendly glasses yester
day. About !i."n o'clock the former
fame out of the bouse and begun a
tirade agulnst Mrs. Duggtui. the Scrun
lon Associated Charities agent. In par
ticular, and humanity in general. It
will lie remembered that ubutit four
mouths ago Mrs. Dtlggau, on the au
thority of the Associated Churitles, took
front Mrs. Montgomery her Infant child,
l.olelta. The babe died shortly after
ward at the Foundling home. This was
the theme of the woman's decla mutlou
yesterday on iak street.
She was half dressed and wild In
every appearance. After screeching ul
the top of her voice in the yard she
went out on th street, and gelling
down on her knees prayed thai Provi
dence would punish Mrs. Duggau,
MAD UAVINOS.
"My lovely l.oreltu." she screamed, as
she groveled in the dust: "My Lorettu.
They took her from me, and when I,
her mother, went for her they locked me
til)." Curses upon curse flowed from
her lips. She lauded the dead child,
and with insane vehemence called down
Divine punishment ou the churltuble
people. Mrs. Moran ti led to pacify her;
it was of no use.
The insane cries had attracted the at
tention of hundreds of people, and the
nearby streets were alive with men,
women and children, all hurrying to
see the unusual scene. Airs. Montgom
ery vented her foul tongue ou the by
standers. She cnlled some by name and
biirjeil mad accusations at many of
them. One of the accused was held
buck from attacking the instilter, and
his wife went Into her home and pres
ently returned with a broom with a
black coat on the whisp part. This she
placed in front of the furious woman.
And ull the time Airs. Montgomery was
pouring vile language from her throat.
OFFICIOUS WF.RK SHY.
A constable was called for; no of
ficer cared to handle her; they have
been there before. There seemed no
stop to the woman; her powers of en
durance were remarkable. Finally Con
stables Walsh and John Hower and
another whose name could not be
learned cume up the street, nnd the
woman went Into her house. W hile one
constable went around to the rear the
others approached the front. They
wanted to catch her outside of the
house, thus making a warrant for her
arrest unnecessary.
The Montgomery woman was too cli v
er. She saw the trick, and with char
acteristic aversion to the law she hnd
run, llect-footed to her house. There
she remained. All lust night she kept
up her noise, but she staid within doors
to do it.
A warrant Is a costly thing and they
don't wnnt her at the county jail any
how. She has been an inmate ot that
institution too often already.
