the convention 'will be news: no onu
would honestly say last night, Just
who would be the nominees. At mid
night the situation was this: The city
committee people hadn't the semblance
of a slate; the Fahey-Glbbons crowd
paid they would win. and on top of all
a well mounded rumor that the city
committee would take no hand In the
reinvention but let the antlsvet the
nomination unoppored. and the elec
tion unassisted
Hot It sides had headtiuarttrs, the
city committee holding forth In Inclus
ttial hall and the opposing forces ut
the St. Charles. At the former place

T J. Jennings, John J. Durkln, T. 1
DuiTy. Hon. John P. Qulnnan, M. J
Donahoe, J. T. Hammea, and a score
of otheis busied themselves receiving
the delegates who came to enroll and
holding whlspeietl conversations in
small gioups at frequent periods on the
aspect of the situation Messrs. Fnliey,
c.llilions. Oiler and otheis matMmlled
their foices In n business-like wav.
THHY HELD A CAUCUS.
About 9 o'clock the delegates lMd a
caucus In Raub'a hall, on Wyoming
avenue, and thither all the delegates
who "came to town" betook them
selves. W J. Huike, who hat stiong
rahey-GIbbons leanings, was elected
chaiiman. The object of the meeting
was announced to be the selection of
a ticket, and us the announcement waR
made the Fahev-GIbbons slate ,i.
pioposed. Just how tho meeting Mood
as to the top of the two-headed ticket
did not develop, but that it was not
favotable to the slate as u whole was
most evidenced.
There was a commotion for a while,
and it ended In many of the delegateH
leaving the hall. owing that they
would hae nothing to do with "any
such caucus as that " Aftet the klck
eis had gone Ml. Uurke leoiganlzed
the caucus and the slate was foi malty
endoised It was duly endorsed and
with a hun all at that The cltv com
mittee people said that there weie
only eighteen or twenty delegates who
temalned for the second caucus. The
antls claim that theie was a majotlty
of the delegates of the convention In
attendance.
This second caucus also approved of
the proposition of nominating candi
dates for the pooi boaid, which piop
oriltlon was Ignoied nt the Hist session
of the- delegates The matter will be
brought up In the convention In the
wav of nn announcement that a com
mittee of the delegates would upon ex
Clty Solicitor It a II. Hums in 1 elation
to the mattei, and had been informed
that there was a .strong piobability of
the present poor board being declated
illegal, and an otdet of court made dl
tectlng that a boaul be elected dliect
by the people.
Tltr.y WANTED A SLATE
The city committeemen ut 10 no
o'clock got together In dead earnest to
make an eftoit at tigieelngupon a slate.
Half an hour later the meeting dis
banded, but if a slate was made no
one could be found who would tell
what it Is. Ceitain contingencies make
it almost safe to give it a.s a ceitalnty
that no slate was ugieed upon. Thobe
who attended the meeting, who could
be Induced to say anything at all. posi
tively maintained that no slate had
been selected and that no teal attempt
has been made to lonnulute a slate.
The convention will do that today, was
a geneial lemaik. They denied even
that they had picked a man foi chaii
man; that Mi, Heed) was an Independ
ent candidate, lepiesentlng no faction
School Controller Pattick Langan, of
the Eighteenth wuid, was making the
announcement that he had thlity
eight delecates solid and he would go
into the convention as an independent
candidate, aching no favor ftom any
faction and in turn fa voting nelthei
J. T. Ilnnnes was anxious to be nomi
nated at all costs und made big claims
as to the stieneth he would wield in
the convention Hon John P. Qulnnan
was in much the .same flame of mind
as Mr Jennings.
It was not among the impiobalill
Itles, viewing the situation at midnight,
that some of the men who weie to be
given giatultous nominations because
of theh geogiaphlcal or iaclal fitness
would be tin own over, not thiough
any deslie of the leadets, but simply
because the can't pievent It. The six
men who huve the most delegates will
be the nominees, unless theie is pome
stalwait woilt to pievent it this mottl
ing, and if that Is the case there will
be a ticket so lopsided that the Re
publicans will be spared the effoit of
defeating It It will fall of Itself. W.
J. Burke will be the candidate of the
Fahey-Olbbons slate for peimanent
chairman.
AN OPINION' ASKED.
Some of the delegates who believe
that poor directots should be elected
yesterday, addressed the following
communication to Attorney I. II.
Hums:
Jamiaiy It, lbjs.
I II. Ruins, Esip:
Dear Sir- We have been Instruct
ed on behulf of a number of the
delegutes to the Democratic convention
tomorrow to ask our opinion as to ihe
legal right of this poor dlstilct to elect
the members of the poor board, Instead of
having them appointed bj court.
Win. J Hurke, M. S. Lav nil, John
Mawn
Jn teply to this Mr. Duins tendeied
the following opinion.
W. J. Hurke and Others.
Dear Sirs: Tho ciuentlou whether tho
members of the board of directors of tho
Hcruntou poor district aio elective or ap
pointive, depends largely If not entirely
on the construction to bo placed on tho
act of March 10, 1SG2. which Is as follows;
"That hereafter whenever any vacancy
shall ocur In tho board of directors, cre
ated In pursuance of the act to which
this is a supplement, wholher siidh vu
cancy occur by tho expiration of the teim
of oftlce or otheiwlbe, the same shall bo
filled by tho uppolntment of the presi
dent judge of the court of common pleat)
In and for the county of Luzerne., at a
regular term of said coutt, upon the pcv.
tltlon of at last twenty freeholders from
that portion of the district comprised
within said act, in which tho vacancy oc
cuts; lliut all acts and parts of ucts In
consistent herewith, bo and the same are
hereby repealed."
There nro several reasons why this act
did not choiiBO tho poor board olllces
from electlvo by tho people to appointive
by tho picsldent Judge of Lezurne county.
First If It had been designed to chnns"o
tho method of nillng tho ofllces of the
boat J, it would have been very ensv to
have said so. All that would have been
necessary was simply to say; Ho it en
acted that hereafter the members of tho
poor board of tho Scrnnton district shall
not be elected by the peoplo but shall bo
appointed by the president Judgo of Lti
reine county.
DOES NOT ALTER METHOD.
Second The above act docs not purport
to alter the method of filling the olllces,
but only provides for filling vacancies
thnt may occur. May occur In what7
Evidently In the sistem then existing.
It does not s ty that the appointment shall
be for three years, or tho regular term,
but leaves the language to be Interpreted
by the general rule, th it when vacancies
are llllcd by appointment In an elective
olllce, the appointment only holds until
the regular time for holding the elec
tions, when tho people can till tho olllce
In the method prescribed by law.
Third The language of the nbove act
does not change the ofllccs from ap
pointive to elective even when taken In
Its literal sense, for tho leason that no
vacancy occuro In an elective ofllce by
reason of expiration of the term when n
successor has been elected to take the
place of the outgoing olllcer. When cc
Sheriff demons left tho ofllce of sherltT,
no vacancy occurred, because, as ho
passed out his successor passed In, nnd
there was not an Instant when the olllce
was vacant. The water that Is In the
channel of the Lackawanna river today
will be In the Susquehanna tomorrow:
but there will h no vacancy In the Lack
awanna channel, because nys fast as the
water moves down the water from above
instantly takes Its place.
The plain lnterpietatlon of the above
law seems to bo that It was designed to
provide for the possible occasion when no
successor was elected; or, having been
elected, died befoie the time to take tho
ofllce. In such case, the term would ex
plie without any elected sueccfesor to take
the place and thpre would then be a va
cancy which the court would be called
upon to fill.
There are othci reasons which seem to
me to be equally conclusive against nti
thotlty of the court to npoolnt our poor
dliectors, but they can hardlv be i-.pt
forth iu the brief compass of this letter.
I think the peonle of the city and Dun
more borough aie entitled to elect In the
Mini1 marner as before the ubove act
was pissed Respectfully joins,
1 II. Rurns.

TREATED OF THREE
GREAT SUBJECTS
Judge Freeman 0. Willcy Lectures at
Albright Library.
HAD A VERY SMALL AUDIENCE
Itc Discusses 'Tlio Ministry of
' Thought, "" l'hc Langungo ol Un
rest" and "Tho Struggle of lain"
from n High Economic Standpoint.
First Tinio tho lccturo Was liver
Dellvcrod--Somo of tho Idons Ho
Advanced.
Only about half a bundled peoplo
weie at the Albright library last night
t8 hear the lecture by Hon. Freeman
O. Wllley, of Oiange, N. J., on "An
Hour With Three Great Questions'
It was an audience, however, that could
appreciate the lectin e for all that it
vv a.s vv orth.
Judge Wllley has attained some fame
as a student of economics and has writ
ten a ciulte widely read book on the
subject of capital and labor. He has,
however, as et failed to make him
self able to entertain as a lecturer on
economics if his effort last night Is
taken as a crlteilon. Much allowance
has to be made for the fact that it was
the flist time the lecture was ever de
livered; that it is a ditllcult task to
ticat enteitalnlngly of so much In such
little time, and last, but not least,
that the audience waa not one, numer
ically, that would call out any man's
best efforts.
A little of everything and not much
quantity undei stood of anything aptly
descilbes the lectute The three sub
jects which the lectin er essayed to
treat of weie "The Ministry of
Thought," "The Language of Unrest"
and "The Stiuggle of Life."
DON'T THINK FOR THHMSHLVES.
Under the fiifat heading he contended
that peoDle of the busy today are all
too pi one to allow themselves to be
can led along by the tide of public
sentiment; that theie are not enough
people doing their own thinking. Our
yeais aie too few to permit us to do
mote than merely skim over the great
Iiumber of subjects that ciowd them
selves on our attention. Theie are not
enough who even skim over, let alone
probe into the .subjects that present
themselves for solution
The rugged exercise of our own ment
al powers, the lecturer thought is what
Is needed rather than butdening our
selves with the thoughts of others, no
matter how sublime these thoughts
may be geneially esteemed. Profes
sors and prelates laughed at Columbus'
Idea and the school philosophers said
impossible when Franklin advanced his
theoiy of harnessing electricity. Think
ing should be stimulated. It Is not
enough to go through life as we went
thiough school for the most pait learn
ing to think and act as others did.
Under the second division of his lec
tuie he defined umest us being of two
kinds healthy unrest, which is only
another way of describing active desire
of Improvement, and the unnatural un
rest which fills hearts with souovv and
nation, with grief, the unrest that
would thrust aside, hastily, piesent
Institutions and substitute without
proper thought, othei untiled institu
tions. POPULAR OPINIONS DANGCROCS
Popular opinion, the lecturer held. Is
dangeiously wrong In this rebpett, and
partlculaily In I elation to the subject
of capital and lubor It docs not real
ize the oneness of their Interests, their
interdependence. Capital, he argues,
cannot profit by the Impovetlshment of
labor; labor benefits when capital
thrives. Inequality in ownership of
propel ty has made our piesent civili
zation. It is aggiegated wealth that
makes employment of labor possible.
The main thought advanced In the
discussion of "The Struggle of Life"
was "Sweet are the uses of adversity,"
or, as the lectuier very cleveily put It,
"A calni sea never made a skillful
mailner "
COMMON PLEAS COURT.
Jury in Case ot Edwards & Barthold
Pilchard l'nilcd to Agree.
Theie weie stiong hopes that the
very careful, exhaustive and thorough
trying which tha case of Edwards &
Uarthold against Martha Pltchard ie
ceived this week would result In the
common pleas dockets being finally rid
of it. These hopes were, however dis
pelled yesterday afternoon when the
Jury after being out twenty-four hours
returned and repotted that they could
not agree. They weie discharged, and
the case will, doubtlessly, come up at
the next term for its fifth trial,
Mis. Prltchard gave Edwards &
Barthold a $200 Judgment note to se
cure n, debt which tho Prltchards owed
for gtocerlcs and other things. She
Is now trying to dodge Its )iyment on
tho ground that she can not make
herself liable for a debt which, she con
tends, was contracteu by her husband,
and, becondly, because the note, she
alleges, -was modified by the Insertion
of "with Intel em" after she had signed
it.
In tho cas of Hovvley Ujothers
against It. E, Hurley the Jury jester
day morning rturned a verdict of $370
In favor of the plaintiff, which is $50
less than tho amount claimed.
Tho caso of Farrar & Trefts will go
to the. Jury today, Arguments for the
plaintiff were made yesterday after
noon hy Carpenter und Fleltz, while
Major Wairen and Hon. C, P. O'Malley,
YTT MIL Vt
WEr'otfc
of Wlllard, Warren & Knapp, closed
for tho defense.
Tho Jury in the caso of Hrldgct Mc
Donald against Joseph McNamara nnd
May McNamara had not returned a
Verdict at adjournment.
WEEK'S LIST EXHAUSTED
Cases Argued Before Superior Court.
Counties from Which Appeals
Will Be Heard Next Week.
Tho end of tho first vveek'H supeiloi'
coutt list was reached yesterday at
noon und tho Judges went Into consul
tation after adjourning court until
Monday morning at 11 o'clock.
Three Lackawanna cases wcro he'jrd
yesterday morning. The first two were
argued Jointly, tho parties In ieach ac
tion being tho same. One caBe was that
of William Koch against Catharine
Ulesecker and Hnvln Uleseckor, the
other, that of Catharine BIttenbender
against Catharine Blesecker, Ervvln
Hlesecker nnd William Koch. Cathar
ine Ulesecker Ib Erwin, Blesecker's
mother. They work adjoining farms
in Madison township. The mother bor
lowed $173 from Koch and $325 from
Catharine Hlttenbender. The son
signed both notes as co-surety. When
execution was had on the notes he
camo Into court with the plea that
his suretyship was not binding ns he
had received no valuablo considera
tion. Judge Edwaids refused to open
tho judgment to allow him to enter a
defense, saying In a meaningful way:
"The contention of tho defendant,
Ervvln Hlesecker, does not command
itself to our favorable consideration.
We do not think he Is entitled to any
relief at our handB." He thereupon
took an appeal. Incidentally it might
be remarked that Koch Is also apply
ing In the local courts for a lule to
open Judgment as to him. Vosbutg &
Dawson appeared for Hlesecker, and E.
C. New comb opposed them.
The final caso was that of W. E.
Barnes against the Bonta. Plate Glass
company, appellant. It is a test case
brought by a number of employes who
vvoiked about the Bonta Plate Glass
vvoiks, while the building and machin
ery was In course of construction and
during the early days of the operation
of the plant when tests were under
way. The company made the defense
that it did not take control of the
works until after these men had fin
ished their labors and weie discharged
and fuither that Bonta waB to deliver
the plant over to the company free of
all Incumberances. The plaintiff se
cured Judgment for his full claim in
the lower court. '. Comegys argued
T or the appellant, and Vosbutg & Daw
son for Barnes.
Next week will be devoted to the
heating of appeals from Monroe, Car
bon, Wyoming, Bradford, Susquehan
na, Wayne and Pike counties. There
are only seven on the list.
