JULY 26 THE DATE
OF CONVENTION
Democrats ol County Will Ncme Their
Candidates That Day,
IT WAS DECIDED AT THE MEETINO
OF THE COUNTY COMMITTEE LAST
NIGHT TO HOLD THE SENATORIAL
CONVENTION ON THE SAME DAY
AS THE COUNTY CONVENTION-M.
J. CADDEN RE-ELECTED TO THE
POSITION OF STATE COMMITTEE
MAN FOR LACKAWANNA.
July 25 Is the date selected for the
Democratic county convention to nom
inate candidates for Judge, congress
and coroner. The convention will be
held In the court house, nnd will he
called to order at 10 n. m. The pri
maries will be held on Saturday after
noon preceding between the hours of
4 and 7 p. m. It was decided to hold
the senatorial convention to nomlnntc
a candidate for state senator at the
hame time and place as the county con
vention. The meeting of the county commit
tee, which selected the time for hold
ing the convention, was held Inst
night In the St. Charles hotel. Colonel
F. J. Fltzslmmons, the chairman of
tho committee,, presiding. In the ab
sence of the secretary, M. F. Snndo,
the proceedings of the committee were
recorded by John M. Corbett, who
wns chosen secretnry pro tern. Other
members of the committee wore C. G.
Bolnnd, John J. Durkln, D. J. Reedy,
M. J. Cndden, Hon. M. E. McDon
ald, Captain I. DeLacy, Joseph
O'Brien. Patrick Kerrigan, R. J. Beam
ish, of this city; Hon. T. J. Duggan
and Victor Burschel, of Dunmorej
Thomas Mack, of Wlntoni John J. Sal
mon, of Lackawanna, II. Hoffecker, of
Blnkely.
Colonel Fltzslmmons said ho had
called the committee together at the
solicitation of a number of prominent
Democrats, who seemed to feel that
the convention should be nn early one.
The Republicans had already made a
number of nominations nnd were pre
paring for the fall campaign, nnd those
who had spoken to Mr. Fltzslmmons
seemed to feel thnt they should be up
and doing. He was ready to hear any
suggestions the committeemen had to
offer, for they were called together to
ascertain their views.
MR. CADDEN'S MOTION.
M. J. Cadden said ho was In favor
of an early convention, and moved
that It be held on July 19, the pri
maries to be held on the preceding
Saturday, July 16. This motion was
seconded by Joseph O'Brien. Hon. T.
J. Duggan was opposed to such an
early date, holding that It would be
Injudicious. The party have no can
didates now In sight for congress or
state senator, and if the primaries are
held on July 16, which Is only a week
away, he feared they would go Into the
convention with whlto elephants on
their hands In the shape of offices,
that it would be hard to obtain suit
able candidates for. He favored de
laying the convention for a week that
candidates might have nn opportunity
to announce themselves nnd make nn
effort to place candidates for delegates
In the field In their Interest. The men
who will bear the burden of tho cam
paign ought to be considered In select
ing a time for tho convention. Mr.
Duggan closed his remarks bv mov
ing thnt the convention be held on
July 26 Instead of July 10, and C. G.
Roland seconded the nomination.
Joseph O'Brien spoke against the
amendment. He preferred an early
convention and he thought an early
convention would be the best for rea
sons that were apparent to every com
mitteeman. C. G. Boland srioke In fa
vor of the amendment, holding that a
week was too short a time to prepare
for the election of delegates. He feared
the Democratic voters of the county
might enter a protest if such a hasty
convention was called. He believed In
giving tho voters ample time to de
cide just what they want to do. D.
J. Reedy and Senator M. E. McDon
ald also favored the amendment, and
Mr. Cadden defended the wisdom of
.electing the date named In his mo
tion. AMENDMENT ADOPTED.
A vote was taken and the amend
ment was carried. It was decided to
call the convention to order at 10 a.
m. and hold the primaries on July 23
between the hours of 4 and 7 o'clock
p. m. Mr. McDonald suggested that
the senatorial convention be held nt
the same time and place as the county
convention and after this was embodied
In the form of a motion It was adopted.
Joseph O'Brien, Captain DeLacy and
M. E. McDonald were selected as a
committee to wait upon tho county
commissioners to see about securing
mo court house ror the convention.
Chairman Fltzslmmons nnnounced
that It was time the county commltteo
elected a state committeeman from
this county. M. J. Cadden, who has
acted In that capacity for several years,
was unanimously re-elected.
Captain P. DeLacy, the Democratic
candidate for becretary of Internal af
fairs, was called upon for a speech
and made a few remarks, in vfhlch he
said that since his nomination he had
received many letters from friends in
various parts of the state assuring him
that he will have their support in No
vember. Not a few of these letters
came from Republicans. He was not
prepared to say he will bo elected, hut
If he falls In November It will be very
close to the line. His remarks were
greeted with applause.
THE CANDIDATES.
Thus far no opposition to Judge F.
W. Gunster for the nomination for
Judge has been developed and it is
probable he will be unanimously re
nominated. No one has announced his
candidacy for concress and the same
Is true of state senator, although T. P.
lloban, C. C. Donovan, John J. Murphy
nnd R. J. Beamish have been mentioned
for tho latter olllce.
For tho office of coroner, Dr. J. F.
Saltry Is the one whose name hus been
discussed up to date.
MONSTER LOCOMOTIVE.
Made lor the D. mid II. to Draw Two
Hundred Mora Tons.
Engine 2127, manufactured by the
Richmond Compound Locomotive works
of Richmond, Va has arrived at tho
Oneonta round-house, to be placed In
service until August 1. The manufac
turers of the engine claim It will draw
200 tons more than the heaviest of the
Delaware and Hudson engines, and it
Is for the purpose of giving It a trial
that It was sent there. It took a train
from Mechanlcsvllbj, In charge of En
gineer Reld and Fireman Feeley. The
train was equal to 42 cars and It
handled It welt. An engineer, J. L.
Pugh, accomDnnled It from the works
and goes with tho locomotive engineers
on all trips. It will be used on vari
ous runs on the east end from Oneonta
and given a thorough trial.
The locomotive carries a steam pres
sure of 210 pounds, hus a high pres
sure cylinder of largo dlmenslona on
the left side, nnd on the right side a
low pressure cylinder of still greater
size. It Is a ten-wheel connective,
without fingers on forward drivers and
with very heavy connecting rods. It Is
constructed for the use of soft coal.

ALL FR0MIIERE LOST
No IIopo lor Laclinwnnnn County
I'asicngers on Ln Itourgogne,
Which Went Down July I.
In the list sent out by the Asso
ciated Fress of the survivors of the
French liner, La Bourgogne none of
tho names of the persons from this
county appeals. Joseph Cassesse, of
Lackawanna avenue, agent hete for
the company, has not received any no
tice whatever, and he sent a letter last
night to the general agent In New
York, asking for an official list of tho&e
'. ho took passage and of those who
were saved.
Mr. Cassesse's office was besieged
again yesterday with relatives and
friends of the lost families, pleading
for good news. The daughter of Mr.
nnd Mrs. Ferdlnnndo Staffarlno, the
aged couple from Connellton, was to
see him several times, and her grief
at not hearing her parents were saved
was uncontrollable.
From the first day that news of the
disaster reached tho general public,
and people began pouring In on Mr.
Cassesse for Information, he told them
candidly nnd In a few words that the
chances were 100 to 1 that all from this
county were lost.
Mr. Cassesse was told yesterday that
the husband of Catherlna Mollnarld,
Instead of going to California, went to
New York with her to see her away,
and there suddenly changed his mind
and took passage with her. They
came Into possession of some prop
erty In Italy recently by the death of a
relative, and were going over to sell
it and return. If that bo true then
another victim from here was added,
making Lackawanna's total twenty
four, instead of twenty-three.

Twenty-eight men were nccepted for

expected that the work of mustering
In the command would bo finished on

jail yesterday by United States Com

Kerwln had a partner who eluded
arrest. It Is presumed they were able
to make a dishonest profit by not us
ing Internal revenue stamp on the
boxes. It has not been learned how
long tho pair have been avoiding the
payment of the tobaec? tax, nor
whether they manufactured the cigars
themselves or sold, them as agents.
The deputy Internal revenue collector
for the district in which the ales wete
made is obtaining evidence which will
be Imparted to tho United Stati3 au
thorities before the trial.
Kerwln's arrest was Indirectly caus
ed by his being locked up (or Intoxi
cation In Susquehanna one night when
Constable Moran waa theie. To the
latter was related the surplcUin that
Kerwln was avoiding the tobacco lax.
Moran communicated tho facts ln his
possession to Collector Penman, of
thlfl city, who advised that the arrest
be made.
It Is believed Kerwln is liable to
punishment for violation of the war
revenue act ns well as tho old revenue
law.
OUR CONVICTS IN PEN
Wo Have Ninety of Them ln Cnssidy's
Die Hoarding House mid All
ofThom Aro Well.
Sheriff Pryor on his trip to the East
ern penitentiary Wednesday with the
four prisoners, Patrick Battle, Frank
Schueneman, Charles Wasaluskey and
William Osborne, called on the Lacka
wanna county contingent now ln dur
ance. The number Is ninety.
Frank Bezek, who Is serving a life
sentence for the murder of his sweet
heart, Mary Kerzlk, at Olyphant three
days after they landed together ln the
country. Is big and stout, and his con
duct as accredited on the prison docket
Is exemplary. He can talk English re
markably well for a man who four
years ago couldn't understand one
word. He has considerable freedom for
a life convict, being kept ln the hos
pital "corps," as they call It. He goes
around as If he were employed there.
At his trial it waa urged In his de
fense that he was not responsible for
his act, that he had been driven to
desperation by the refusal of the girl
to marry him, and that he was at
tempting to kill himself when she arose
from the floor which she was scrub
bing when ho came ln to plead with
her, and that the bullet penetrated her
own head by her grasping the revolver
to restrain him from suicide.
A wound in his- chin was shown to
the jury as having been made by a
bullet fired after she fell dead, but tho
commonwealth maintained that the
wound was received by coming in con
tact with a barbed wire fence when he
was trying to escape after the murder.
The prison physician recently cut
Into Bezek's chin and found a bullet,
showing that his story of attempted
suicide was true after all. Bezek has
tho bullet now and would not sell It
for anything, less than his liberty. He
means at some future time to make
application for a pardon.
Joseph Boschlno, who was also con
victed of first degree murder and com
muted. Is In good health, but not good
spirits. He does not get any latitude
except what the other convicts get,
and he maintains steadfastly that the
murder of Frank Confortl was done
not by him but by Rocco Salvatore,
who was himself murdered not more
than 100 yards from the spot where
Confortl fell.
The other prisoners are ln good
health, but they know several places
they would rather be. Warden Michael
Cassldy Is still the t,ame old patri
archal character and wears the same
old antc-dlluvian hat.
