,-ar THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY. JUNE 29. 1898 DELEGATES ARE HOME FROM ALTOONA lace Was Altogether Uoiulled for Such a Bit Galberluj. IrilB LACKAWANNA D11L.KOATION PLEA8CO OVER SRCURIKO T1IK NOMINATION OF CAPTAIN 1. DE XiACV FOR THE OKFICU OF IN TERNAL AFFAIRS-ALT) tOUOH HE . DID NOT SEEK THE NOMINATION , HE pnOKU THE fiLATE-U. B. ME. GARGEE FIRST SUGGESTED HIM. "What kind of a time was thorp at itho Altoona convention?" was the first expression heard by one of the dele gates as he stepped from the 9 o'clock Delaware and Hudson train last night. The answer could not be given In les3 than a page of a newspaper. First of all. Altoona Ir no place for such a large gathering1, It hasn't the hotel accommodations, nnd as to loca tion geographically It was a woeful selection. The opera house was not large enough for the convention and the number of saloons was not large enough to go around. The heat was oppressive. On the way down the Scranton delegates who started on Tuesday morning wero joined at Wllkes-Uarrc by the Luzerne delegation. At Lewlstown Junction the car of thp Lackawanna and Luzerne men was Ooupled to one In which was the Sam uel J. Randall club, of Philadelphia. Prom there to Altoona there wai a dizzy and exceedingly rapid time. The train sped along at a 60-mllc an hour Kalt, and the delegates were going faster than that In the car. One car was fitted up most sumptuously with refreshments and eatables. JUDGE WAS ACTIVE. Judge Harry J. McCarthy was among the Phlladelphlans, nnd never was a missionary more zealous In the cause he espoused than the Judge was In his advocacy of Judge Gordon for gu er ror. He wore n little round hat like a turban, and buttonholed delegates right and left and argued and made euch speeches as the din within and without the cars would permit. From noon Tuesday until 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon the city was tur bulent. Democratic headquarters were at the Logan House, a very large hotel, with such a labyrinth of hallways nnd corridors that a guide was needed to tow the delegates. At 5 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the Lackawanna delegation caucussed in room 45 of the Urant House, at which they registered, and selected John T. Broun spokesman on the con vention floor. P. J.,Nealls was chosen on the committee of resolutions, John Gibbons on the committee of organ ization, nnd P. J. McCormlck on the committee of credentials. A motion was made to support Judge Gordon as a unit. This was carried bv n vote of 6 to 4, two of the delegate's being absjnt, but the minority setved notice that they did not Intend to abide by that rule, m It has been discarded as un-Democratlc and vicious. THK WKRE PLKAPED. What pleased the Scranton delega tion immensely was the nomination of ' Captain P. Do Lacy for secretary of Internal affairs. If Cer the office sought the man It was In this case. He was not present at the convention and did not go to Altoona at all. He may thank Detective Scanlon for being nominated. Mr. Si anion worked tire lefcsl for him Patrick Foley, ol Pitts burg. Is entitled to the gratitude of Captain Do 1 ni-y for tl e robut an 1 enthusiastic impetus he gave him at the very outset, by casting 14 votes tiom Allegheny county fi.r him. There were three candidates In the field, and one of hem was T. Hayes Grler, cf Lancaster, who was picked out by Colonel Guffey to run for that nomination. Grler is also an old sol dler with a splendid record, yet despite the three-cornered nrrrangement. the captain was so far ahead when the balloting had gone three-fourths along that Mr. Grler arose and w Ithdrew his name and requested his delegates to vote for Captain D? Larj. He had 211 votes when Comrade Grler withdrew. That was 21 more than a majority. Philadelphia cast thirty ote for him. Colonel F. J. Fltzslnimons nominated Captain De Lac at the request of the Lackawanna delegation r o n d y O'Boyle, of Luzerne, and Mr. Brown, of Lackawanna, seconded the nomination. The manner In which the captain be came a candidate Is as follows: John M. Garmnn came to Scranton two or three w eel's ago and met B. B. Megar gee. Tliey are old friends, and while they were enjoying a smoke together. Mr. Oarman said he wished there wero some citizen of Scranton who had served In the late war, and Is now prominent enough In the political tealm to bo good timber for sncretaiy of Internal afahs:, DELACY SI-GGESTEn. Mr. Megargee suggested Captain Dp Lacy and said a better candidate could not bo found anywhere in the state. Chairman Garman replied: "As you say, so let !t be." The captain had some good fi lends and willing work fern The circulated reports that the Lack awanna delegation was for Gordon, fcourcd Colonel Guffy on them, and he gave instructions that Hayes Grler be nominated. The raptaln therefore ha'd double honor. He absolutely did not fcrek the office, and even at that he broke the slate. That Is a natadox In politics that may not happen again In ninety-nine yeais. t The Lackawanna contingent outside of the delegates was shamefully ne glected. They could not get passes to Kq to the opening session. This was due to the fact that some one from Philadelphia stole 500 tickets from Mr. German's room, distributed them as he pleased. He also had u large number printed like them which ho sent where ever he choose. Mr. Garman had to have now tickets struck oft for the afternoon session. A, reward of $5 was offered for any ' who could give positive proof that he slept an hour Tuesday or Wednes day night In Altoona. The heat and the noise of engines and delegates were more than any nerve could stand. There wasn't much sympathy felt for a delegate from Center county who eald he lost a potketbook containing J10.000. The town was alive with pick pockets, and several complained of get ting "touched." C, Ben Johnson wero here, there and everywhere around headquarters with pencil and pad making notes of re quests, grievances, etc., etc. He gave out the press tickets. ARRIVED LAST NIOHT. The last of the delegates camo home last night at 9 o'clock. They left Al toona at 10 o'clock, had to wait 2 hours at Lewlstown Junction for a. change of cars, an hour at Sunbury, nnd 20 minu tes at Wllkeg-Barrc. Tho party was composed of Colonel F. ' J. Fltzslm monB, ex-Sheriff John J. Fahcy, P. l Gordon, Attorney M. J. "Wnlsh, P. J. Ncalls, Thomns Cosgrove, D. W. Vau ghan and John T. Brown. Captain DeLaey will accept the nomination tendered him. He said to a Tribune reporter last night that ho appreciated tho honor conferred upon him, coming as it did entirely un solicited. Ho has many warm friends scattered thioughout the state, who, ho believes, will not forget him in November. TELEPHONE FRANCHISE. Solocl Council ftlnkes No Movo to Kop It Irnm Conference Contrary to expectations, no attempt was made In select council last night to reconsider the Lackawanna tele phono franchise. It was believed tho company had secured the necessary two votes from among those who at the last meeting voted against the amendments and from nmong whom tho motion to reconsider would havo to come. No meeting of common council hav ing been held since tho select council conference committee was appointed, tho franchise amendments might have been considered last night. Tho fran chise will now have to take Its medi cine in the conference committee. CHIEF HICKEY HURT. Ills Gnmonaas in Trying to Hold a Ilunnwny Flrn Team Ends Oltni- trotuljr.. Condition Last Night. Chief P. J. Hlckoy, of the fire de partment, was trampled upon and pain fully hurt yesterday morning by a team of horses attached to PhoenK Chemical wagon. While his body Is covered with cuts nnd bruises, his con dition Is not alarming. The chief was. engaged In taking snap-shots of tho team nnd apparatus near the Piatt homestead lot on Jef ferson nvenue. Ho secured three views and decided to get i view of the appar atus without the horses. He reconsid ered this and told tho diiver, Joseph Hllman, to return with the hoiscs an 1 wagon to company quarters. Hllman mounted to the seat and after staitlng the hor.ses noticed that the snap connecting the reins with one of tho bits had been unfastened, probably by the horse's act of rubbing Its head against the curb. Tho animals lunged forward only half restrained. Driver Hllman called out to Chief Hlckoy who grasped the free horse's bridle. He retained his hold but was carried against his ow n horse nnd buggy, w hlch wrre btnndlng nearby, and was thrown to the pavement and trampled on. Others seemed the plunging team and Chief Hlckey wns carried Into the stote of tho Lackawanna Iron and Steel com pany. Eeln? such a heavy man prob nhly saved him from many fractured bones, but It also accounts for bruises which were found on all parts of his bndj. His bcalp was badly cut. Hur ried calls were telephoned from tho company stole to physicians nnd Drs. Fulton, Logan, Haggcrty and Wentz lesponded. They found that the wounds though many and painful, suggested n.- alarm and recommended his Immediate removal to his home on Pittslon ave nue. Inquiry at Chief Hlckey's home last night was met with Information that he was swathed In bandages fiom head to foot and suffering from the heat A scalp wound on the side of the head was causing him much discom fort. The bruises nnd other hurts which nearly covered his legs, arms and body were paining him severely. He had been fatigued, too, by visits from many persons during tho day and orders were given to keep all Inquirers away from his bedside. An accident policy obtained less than a month ago In one of the standard companies and assuring Chief Hlckey of $23 per week while disabled, Is tho cnly pleasing feature of the accident, according to the characteristic mes sage sent by Chief Hlckey to a Tribune leporter who called at the house last night. District Engineer McMnnus will be nctlng chief until Chief Hickty's re turn to duty YPUNQ PEOPLE'S PARTY. Given by Mr. unci .lira. John A. .Uenrs for Thplr Oituclitnr. Mr. and Mrs. John A.

PROMINENT VOCALISTS AND IN STRUMENTALISTS WHO PART1CI-PATED-MRS. GERTRUDE BAKER DELIGHTED AN AUDIENCE AT THE PENN AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH. RECITALS OF THE PUPILS OF PROF. REEVE JONES AND PRO?. ALBIN KORN. Oppressively hot as last night was It brought out throngs of people to attend the various musical events which In several instances mnrked the close of a successful year's study. People who fancy this Is not a musi cal town should realize that In the Bpace of four dnys this week audi ences numbering from 100 to 600 have attended nine recitals and In every cose tho personnel of the listeners was al most entirely changed, Probably the most elaborate affair last evening wns the beautiful can tata of "Ruth and Boaz." at the Simp son Methodist church, given under tho direction of William W. Jones and by the choir of the church. The singers wero all In costume and the effect was exceedingly good. Mrs. B. T. Jnyne took the leading part that of Ruth. Miss Margaiet Wynne Jones, the con tralto of Elm Park church, took the role of Naomi, Mrs. M. J. Boston-Wll-llams that of Orpah, Mr. J. W. Jones, Boaz, Edwin Bowen the overseer, Thomas Abraham, chief l caper. The following constituted tho chorus: THOSr WHO PARTICIPATED. Sopranos Klla Godshall, Mary Ed wards, Mary Hower, Mrs. William 8. Shoemaker, Hattle Hum, Nevcn James, Ellen James, Rachel Jones, Anna Grif fiths. Mrs. Thomas Abraham, Kate Abraham. Altos Mrs. A.

Davis, Jeremiah Samuel, Thomas Malhlis, A. U. Rldgway. Basoos William M. Whittman, Harry A. Wrlgley, William Long, Thomas W. Jones, T. B. Davis. AVIIllam B. Davis, John R. James, Ed Watklns, David Phil lips. First violin, William House; second vio lin, William Allen; cello, John Hall; flutp.Mr. Hughes; pianist, Llewellin Jones. Walter Davis presided at the organ. Mr. G. L. Peck was stage manager. The solo parts were rendered with great taste and beauty of tone. The duets nnd trios and vatlous part songs weio very satisfactory. Mrs. Jayne was In excellent voice and sang with much spirit and feeling. Miss Jones In the solo "Go. Return," was espec ially happy. The trio given In the fhst scene by Mrs. Jayne, Mrs. Williams and Miss Jones was one of tho best features of the evening. Mis. Lewis, Miss Godshall, Messrs. Jones, Bovven, Abiaham nnd Whittman did fine work in their several toles and tho chorus was strong nnd well trained. Alto gether It was one of the most enjoy able events of the season and should be icpeated on a cooler night REEVE JONES' PTJPILO. The piano recital given by the pupils of Mr. Reeve Jones, assisted by Miss Cordelia Freeman was delightful In many respects. Perry Brothcis" music rooms were crowded and the pro gramme, which was of high older, was much enjoyed. Three oung ladles, Miss Lena Relchard, Miss Amy, Decker and Miss Anna Bone, furnished the chief pnit of the Instrumental music, displaying gteat pioflclency at an eaily age. Miss Reichaid gave two move ments of a Beethoven sonata, a Men delssohn hunting song and a selection by Bachman In all of which she ex hibited unusual talent. Thomas Marshall rendered most pleasingly a Mozart Fnntnsle. Miss Amy Decker, of the North End, played exceedingly well, a Chopin study nnd two Grieg numbers, "La Mort d'Ase," and "La Danse d'Anltre." Miss Bone, perhaps, more than any of the others, exemplified the advantage of learning something of Mr. Jones' technique, which, In ceitaln respects Is notnble, Indeed. She gave with exquisite inter pretation the Adngo and finale of Bee thoven's Sonata op. 13. and three little numbers by well known composers. Miss Freeman sang, it seemed, with unusual power and brilliance of tone. She gave tho German "Du wle Blst elne Blume" and an Italian song. Few more satisfactory soloists havo ever been heard In this city. Her wearing qualities In the popular taste is a Hue proof of her talent. MRS. P.KCR'S PLAYING. Another lecltnl that attracted hund leds of listeners wn:i that of Mis Gen evievo Baker at Penn Avenue Baptist ehurij. Mrs. Baker Is a pupil of Haydn Evans and her exceptional abil ity as a pianist Is recognized in a large circle. Her playing is character ized by great cleverness of execution and certain quality of expression not always the gift of pianists. Her pro gi amine was well chosen and carefully rendered. The Schubert Impromptu was one of the gems of the evening. Miss Julia Allen gave several violin solos, receiving Insistent encores. The ilch tonal effect of the Goddard Adagio Is something to linger in the memmy of tho listener nnd she played the Musln "Caprice" with a dash and bril liance which she seems to specially command In her interpietatlon of her one time master. Ralph Williams was the vocalist of the evening and snng most sweetly a number of songs un hackneyed in character. THE KORN RFCITAL. Among these musical affairs none de lighted tho audience moio than Mr. Albln Korn's recital given by his pupils nt Powell's music rooms. A fine dick ering piano was used with excellent effect. The first number was the min uet from Beethoven's Sonata op. 49, which held this place of honor because of the sad affliction of the performer, William Houck, who Is blind and yet was able to evoke rare melody with a distinctive touch gained after but four teen months' Instruction, The pupils wero nearly nil scarcely out of childhood and their execution was, generally speaking, remarkable. Misses Katie Napka, Camln. Minnie Lange, Marian Smith and Mary Gobel played difficult selections exceedingly well. Miss Elsie Powell gave pleasing exhibitions of skill. tlustave Rupert sang several songs In a flexible, rich tenor voice. Mr. Korn played the concluding number, a Weber polka,with fine effect. , How Hhp Got It, A little girl who had been told not to aak for anything to eat ut a neighbor's camo homo with a face very suggestive of lunching.
