Convention Hall, Montrose, Pn Aug.
3, 1SD7. The Democratic county con
vention of old Susquehanna county for
the year 1897 Is now shrouded In the
mist of the past.
The delegates were cheerful, and al
though they well knew that they were
only In convention assembled to nomi
nate a Jury commissioner, they went
nt It with undaunted persistency nnd
with a vim characteristic of good
American citizens.
I do not mean that they alone nomi
nated a jury commissioner, but several
other ofllaerH, but that Is the only ofllce
they will get In old Susquehanna this
year, and they get It by virtue of the
laws of our Brand commonwealth.
At the matutinal session John Doo
ley, of Susquehanna, was chosen ns
temporary chairman. Dr. J. Q. "Wilson,
secretary of the county committee,
acted us temporary secretary.
The following committees were then
named by Chairman Dooley, who, be
fore so doing, In a well worded speech
briefly thanked his constituents for
their confidence nnd the honor they
had bestowed upon him:
On Permanent Organization M. W.
Cnrglll, Great Bend, chairman: C. C.
Bookstaver, Jackson; Martin J. Lan
non, Susquehanna; Patrick Riley, Au
burn; C. M. Shelp, New Milford.
On Resolutions Roger S. Searle,
Montrose, chairman; E. P. Ely, Brook
lyn: Thomas Buckley, Sliver Lake.
The convention then adjourned until
2 o'clock p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
In the afternoon the report of the
committee first occupied the attention
of the convention. I observed that
there was no roll call, but the ballots
afterwards taken showed a total of 05
delegates. The following districts were
not represented (and there should have
been 100 delegates In attendance):
No delegates from Ararat; Auburn,
south; Auburn, west 1 absentee; Clif
ford; Dundaff; Forest City, First ward;
Forest City, Second ward; Olbson, oast
and west: Great Bend township; Har
mony, First and Second districts;
Lnnesboro; Lathrop; Oakland town
ship; Rush, Eastern district, and Thom
son township.
The first order of the meeting was
the report of the committee on perma
nent organization, who made the fol
ic wing nominations: Permanent chair
man. John Dooley, Susquehanna; vice
president, Roger Searle, Brldgewater;
second vice-president, William Vnn-
Cott, New Mllford; third vice-president,
W. P. Crandall, Hopbottom; secretary,
Ralph Swisher, Auburn; tellers, Henry
Occe, Unlondale, and Frank Gratton,
Hallstead.
The above nominations were elected
unanimously.
And then like Mlcawber, everybody
waited for something to turn up, par
ticularly after the resolutions condemn
ing Republican principles and meas
ures when suddenly with a Klondike
rush, after Chairman Dooley had giv
en the word that nominations were In
order, Tom Mlllane, of Susquehanna
nominated Martin J. Ryan, of Susque
hanna to be prothonotary of Susque
hanna county. No one seconded the
nomination, but that bright blue eyed
and mellifluent young man of the bor
ough of Susquehanna, M. J. McMahon,
a leader of men and n big Bryanlte.wlth
the acumen of n legal gentleman from
the Quaker city, hastily nrose and
asked the chair to have the nomination
of Martin J. made unanimous. Of
course it was carried.
Then came the Inquest on cornner.
Two nominations were made. It was
quite laughable to see the apparent
struggle for the nomination between
Dr. E. L. Hendrlqks, of Friendsvillc,
and Dr. Homer Lathrop, of Sprlngvllle.
I heard that these two gladiators de
sired to test their respective strengths
and for that reason a ballot was taken.
Dr. Hendricks got It but he only won
by a neck for of the 65 delegates he
got 31.
Then was the court room silent, not
a sound could be heard save the grind
ing of the reporter's pencils and the
hoarse whisper of ex-County Commis
sioner Dennis Casey. The jury com
missioner was to be selected.
NOMINATIONS.
The following were nominated: C.

YORK'S DEMOCRACY.
Tlio County Convention Meets nnd
Registers the Usunl Protest.
York, Pa., Aug. 3. The Democratic
county convention was In session here
today.
At this morning's sessions resolu
tions of the most pronounced free sil
ver character drafted by Chauncey F.

SAVED BY A HYMN BOOK.
Stopped u Bullet Aimed by a Jealous
Lover--Shot IIcchiiso of a Refusal,
Carlisle, Pa., Aug. 3. A hymn book
saved the life of Miss Cora Leldlgh, a
young woman of Mount Holly Spring,
last night. Russell Swords, her lover,
enraged because hlsattentions were not
longer regarded with favor, shot at her
three times with a revolver. Two of
the bullets pierced her arm nnd the
third was stopped by tho hymn book
which she held in front of her.
For two years Swords has been the
acknowledged lover of Miss Lctdlgh.but
a short time ago she told him that his
attentions were no longer desired. Last
night after church she was sitting with
another young lady In a grove at the
outskirts of the town. Swords ap
proached and asked Miss Leldlgh If
she would attend a picnic at Mont Alto
park with him. When she gave an
evasive answer he drew a large revol
ver from his pocket and opened fire- on
her.
'Seeing several men running toward
the scene, the would-be murderer ran
towards the mountain and escaped.
Some time after two shots were heard
from tho direction In which ho had
gone. This morning his hat and re
volver were found. They were lying on
a pile, of leaves which were clotted
with blood. A trail of blood was fol
lowed for forty feet, but his body has
not been found. It Is supposed that he
committed sulcclde. The young lady
will recover.
BOTH COMBATANTS MAY DIE.
Old Enemies Fight to a Finish in n
Glnmbling Room.
Pittsburg, Pa., Aug.x3. In a shoot
ing nffray at Strlngtown, an oil set
tlement near Sistervlllc, W. Va., today
two men received wounds that are
likely to prove mortal. The shooting
was the result of a feud between
Charles Fox, a resident of Strlngtown,
and William Mackey, a colored gamb
ler. Fox, who was Intoxicated, entered
a gambling room last evening, and up
on selng Mackey, at once commenced
to shoot.
Mackey was unarmed, but secured a
hatchet, and closed In with his nssall
ant, Inflicting some serious wounds.
Fox loaded his gun a second time and
commenced shooting. By this time
some one had handed Mackey a gun,
and a general fusillade followed. Fox
received only one bullet, but It struck
him over the heart, Inflicting a fatal
wound. Mackey was shot once In the
groin and another bullet shattered his
left arm.

tended nnd was harmonious In all Its

Metal; Jury commissioner, L. N. Baker,
Letterkenny. The resolutions endorse
the Chicago platform, saying that Wil
liam J. Bryan is the logical candidate
of tho Democracy In 1900, nnd close
with a strong denunciation of the
Pennsylvania legislature of 1897, which
'Is said to be a dangerous and corrupt
body, unworthy of tho confidence of
their fellow citizens.

Anthony Studler, of tho South Side,
seems to be suffering from mental de

days ago he fell from a porch at his
home, striking on Ills head. He was
stunned and has not been In his right
mind since,
Monday afternoon Stadler exhibited
himself on PIttston avenue. He was in
his stocking feet and wore no coat or
hat. He ran along the avenue crying
out that a band of men, bent upon
taking his life, were following him.
There were 200 of them, Stadler said,
and In the growd were many policemen.
Patrolman I. F, Jones-started In pur-
I suit of Stadler and arrested him, When
locked up the unfortunate man became
quiet thinking that tho Iron bars pro
tected him from tho Imaginary crowd.

BUTCHERS' TRICKS
ARE LAID BARE
Health-Giving Properties of Sonic
Portions of Ilccf and Sheep .Ex
plained and Suggestions Thnt Will
Snvo Many Housewives Many Hol
lars n Year.
In a recent lecturo Mrs. Rorer dls
pusse'd tho subject of marketing. "A
beef when dressed," snld she, "Is divid
ed Into halves, each of which Is called
a side of beef. Each side when cut la
half makes a hlndquarter and .a forc
qunrter. The hlndquarter Is divided
Into four large pieces, known as leg,
rcund, rump and loin. I shall endeavor
to give you an Intelligent idea of how
to buy from those pieces, and to what
particular use each part should bo
put."
The butcher, following Mrs. Borer's
directions, cut off each piece as ro
quiied. Taking up the pin-bone,
which is the first piece cut from the
rump, Mrs. Rorer said: "Although!
there Is considerable bone in this piece
it is one of the tenderer! omd Juiciest
In th whole beef. It Is tender because
the muscles In It nro always at rest;
that is, no especial strain being put on
them, they remnln undeveloped. It
makes a capital roast If there nro
enough to cat It at one meal. Never
roa3t, bako or boll meat with the In
tention of havlntr a lot left over to
warm up next day, and tho next to go
Into hash. To make hash Is a sign of
bad housekeeping, because If the buy
ing Is done thoughtfully there need be
no left-overs.
HASH DENOUNCED.
"Hash Is one of the most difficult
of all foods to digest because the meat
gets two or throj cookings. While
starchy cereals can scarcely be cooked
too much the albumen of meat Is ren
dered extremely hard of digestion by
this over-cooking. All streaks should
be cut about an Inch thick. Rump
stoaks arc so large that It Is best to
broil the tender end, and use the other
next day to make Hamburg steaks,
putting it in the refrigerator or a cool,
dry place instead of partly cooking It
to keep it. The pieces from the leg aro
good only when cooked in a moist heat
and aro preferable for soup. The leg
on th forequartur Is called n shin
and the moat Is known as shin meat,
but It Is of the same texture and qual
ity as that on the leg from the hlnd
quarter. "The round Is the hardest piece for
the butchers to rid off and Is divided
Into two sides, nccordlng to Its tough
ness, called the upper and lower
round. It Is good to make dried"
beef, beef tea or beef-a-la mode, but
it Is n mistake to broil, roust or
bake It. It can be braised In a double
pan. The loin, of course. Is the choice
part and the fillet of tenderloin is very
tender, but the meat from the side of
the neck at 3 to C cents per pound U
as rich in nutrition as the loin, which
costs from 60 cents to one dollar per
pound. Tho great trouble with poor
people Is they waste their money on ex
pensive cuts when cheaper ones, prop
erly selected nnd rightly cooked, con
tain more of the health-giving proper
ties. In a beef weighing 1100 to 1200
pounds there are not more than 11 to
12 pounds of fillet of tenderloin, hence
the enormous price at which it is sold.
On the inner side of the flap on a loin
is wound a most delectable strip of
moat, called a skirt steak. It is cheap
and about as tender as the fillet, and Is
suitable for broiling or can be rolled
nnd roasted. It also makes a tender
piece for braising. It costs but 10 or 12
cents per paund and Is quite as good
as the fillet at $1 per pound.
HOW TO PREPARE ITi
"Ten or twelve pounds cut from the
loin should bo enough to make four
meals for an ordinary family. From
a cut of that size take out the fillet,
lard it nnd roast It; broil the steaks
the second day or the second menl,
save the bones to make a soup or
bullion, and UBe the flap either for
a Hamburg steak or a stow. Never
pound meat to make It tender, a de
composition begins as soon as it is
bruised, nnd the more It is pounded
the more unhealthy It becomes. Re
member that tho fiber of meat is not
soluble In water, but Is in ncld.
Steaks can be made more tender than
by pounding Is they are brushed over
with butter or vinegar and allowed
to stand for a time. Butter has an
acid In It that acts almost as quickly
ns vinegar. To keep meats properly
your refrigerator should be dry, and
to keep It dry the Inside should never
know scrub brush, soap or water. If
by accident something gets spilled
wipe It up dry, but never cleanse any
part except the drain pipes or gut
ters. "The fore quarter contnlns tho choic
est cuts for roasting and baking. The
first six ribs ure called the standing
ribs and the others the chuck ribs.
Tho first two ribs are called the mid
dle cut and come at a higher price,
but not one woman In a hundred can
distinguish them from the other four
after they are cut off, the ribs taken
out and tho meat rolled for roasting.
There Is no difference In the eating,
yet all, or nearly all, ask for a middle
cut, pay for a middle cut, and get It
from some of the other ribs. That Is
only another way of throwing money
away.
GOOD MEAT DARK.
"Good meat is always dark when cut
and quickly grows lighter when ex
posed to the air, The ribs should be
used for either roasting or baking, but
save the tops of the ribs for a stew,
Unless you ask for them, although you
pay for the top, the butcher Invariably
keeps them to sell for stewing or soup
meat. To let the butcher retain the
top Is another way to waste your
money and further add to his profit.
Never baste baking or roasting meat
with water, but If you bake In a gran
ite pan, put some water In to save the
lining from cracking, as the iron and
granite do not expand alike when heut-

ed. The chuck makes good mince meat
and Is good for beef tea. If It Is to be
roasted the piece of shoulder blade
should be taken out and the space
lilltd with fat and tied, but no skew
ers should be used, as they are hard
to draw out after cooking.
"The fleshy part of the shoulder,
known ns tho bolar piece, Is good for
stewing. The plate and brisket should
be made Into corned beef by picking
and tho skin used for soup. You can't
roast meat In a closed oven or double
nnn; that Is baking. Meat can only
be roasted where there Is a continuous
circulation of air. This Is admirably
accomplished with a stove or range
having a gauze over door, or roasting
can be done on a spit before an open
fire ns the English do."
GORDON AND MORAN FOUGHT.
Former Hnd the Best of tho Snvngo
Argument.
Jersey Gordon and "Paddy" Moran,
of local fame, met in an Impromptu
ring In Mike Keeley's rooms on Lacka
wanna avenue Monday evening. The
bout lasted about an hour nnd from
facial Indications appeared to have
been exceedingly warm.
The affair was quietly "pulled off"
and Jersey Gordon was high In favor,
the favored spectators betting freely
on him. Gordon knocked Moran out
nnd did It nicely. Moran's left eye
Is badly contused and his nose Is re
ported broken In two places.
Gordon Is the man who lost the de
cision In his recent mix-up with Jack
Tlghe. He claimed nt the time that
a game hand was the cause and prob
ably desired to prove his assertion
by his "set-to" with Mornn.
HIS CLOTHING CAUQHT FIRE.
Fivc-Ycnr-Old Dunniorc Hoy Ser
iously Burned Yesterday.
Charles, D years old, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Ford, of Drinker street,
wns playing with matches yesterday
near his home. He lighted a piece of
paper and this Ignited the little fellow's
clothing.
He ran to his home, tho (lames creep
ing all over his body. Mrs. Ford, the
boy's mother, In her frenzy attempted
to extinguish the flames with her
hands. She was painfully burned.
Neighbors ran to tho rescue and ex
tinguished the fire by the uso of car
pet. Dr. O. F. Winters was called In nnd
found tho boy's Injuries to be very seri
ous. His body and arms are badly
roasted and death may result. The
little fellow last evening rested as
easily as could be expected.
HORSE WANTED EXERCISE.
Took a Lively Spin Around the Cen
tral City Streets.
One of Cuslck's horses distinguished
Itself yesterday by running wild about
the central part of the city. Tho
hotse was being shod at Dunn's shop
on Linden street when It escaped and"
cavorted around for a time.
Near the postofTice building the horse
slipped and fell. The animal's knees
were badly scraped. Finally, and of
Its own will, the horse walked Into the
stable.
CAR INSPECTOR KILLED.
Lehigh Valley Employe Meets His
Donth iu the IMttston Yard.
