"The candidates for positions on the Republican county ticket are a little backward this year In registering with the county chairman," says the AVllkcs Barre Record. "Uy to yesterday only one candidate had registered, Major T. L. McKee, the present coroner, and a candidate for re-election. Major Mc Kee registered while homo on sick leave from the Nlntn a few weeks ago. The Republican rules require that all candloates who desire their names pub lished with the call for the county con vention must reels-tor at least twenty days before the assembling of the con vention. A candidate, however, has the privilege of registering live days before the convention, but then he does not fcecure the amount of advertising ns If he had registered within the time allotted. County Chairman I.loyd ex pects that there will be a rush to regis ter within the next few days and that the call will contain the names of at least twenty candidates for the five of fices to be filled. As the time for the convention draws nigh the political at mosphere becomes much warmer ann lmost every day may be seen small groups of men in the court house yard, the Mecca of politicians, earnestly dis cussing the chances of the various can didates and the combinations that they deem the strongest. The persistency with which Mr, Swallow, of Kingston, clings to tho desire to become the nom inee for sheriff and tho strength ho is developing perplexes the candidates for other offices hailing from the West Bide, who have all along been per suading him to drop his shrievalty in clinations and come out for recorder. This he has repeatedly refused to do, eo the battle will be fought out In tho position it now stands. Hero is a com bination which politicians in close louch with the party machinery suy lias an excellent chance of winning: For congress, Hon. M. B. Williams; sheriff, James G. Harvey, of Hazleton: recorder, L. P. Holcomb; controller, J. It. Lloyd; coroner, Major McKee, or Dr. Blehl, of Plymouth. Another com bination which Is much calculated on placed Swallow on the ticket for sher iff and Wilde, of Hazleton. for con troller. The Democrats are yet on a Ftlll hunt for a candidate for congress nnd it now begins to look ns though Mr. German will again have to offer Mmself as a sacrifice. Judge Rhone has been much spoken of in connec tion with tho office and seems to be the favorite with a large contingent of the untcrrlfled. When the judge was questioned by a Record reporter as to his Intentions he gave nn evasive an swer, saying that he preferred to see a young man placed at the head of tho Vlcket, one who would command the Support of both factions of tho party. For the other offices, notwithstanding repeated defeats, there is a host of candidates," A postal card In the "agony box" at the postofflca which attracts much at tention reads: "Dear Ella: Tommle will be here on Saturday evening If nothing happens, and be sure to make nil arrangements to come on next Sat urday, etc." But "Dear Ella's" cor respondent neglected tho little formal- Ity of addressing the other side of the card nnd consequently "Tommle" and his friends worn probably disappoint ed, for the postul never went. The people nlonp the Petersburg lino are now receiving excellent street car (service, ns twenty-minute trips are made by both Petersburg und Nay Aug Falls cars, FIFTEEN HUNDRED OARS. Required to Transport Material for Providence Pave. Karly yesterday morning the resolu tion of councils awarding to George McDonald the contract for paving Providence road nnd North Jlaln ave nue wag signed by Mayor Bailey. Tho resolution and other papers were then delivered to tho city solicitor and city controller. These officials will hurry and prepare the contract documents, which will be executed early next week. Some Idea of tho magnitude of tho contract may bo hud from figures com piled by clerks In tho city engineer's department. On the basis that each brick will weigh 7 pounds, each car load of that material will contain 5,000 brick, or J 7 IS tons. Of tho brick alono there will be 534 car londs. The accur acy of this statement Is verified by the fact that 58 bricks will be required for each square yard of pavement. On that basis 2.GGS.O0O bricks or 534 cat loads will be necessary to cover the 46,000 square yards from Court street north to tho Dickson City line. To transport all tho necessary ma terial, cement, broken stone, curbing, tar, eta, 1,500 cars would .be used if none of the material was transported by wagon. This number of cars seems large nt off-hand, but not when It Is noted that the work will require, In addition to the brick, 21,000,000 pounds of broken stone, 12,300,000 pounds of sand and 3,500,000 pounds of cement, to say nothing of tho lesser materials. COHEN BADLY INJURED. Was Thrown from a Wacon by Horses Running Away. A team of horses owned by M. A. Kelly, a Plttston grocer, attached to a delivery wagon, engaged In a serious runaway yesterday morning. The driver, Patrick Jleddlngton, was de livering goods on Pine street, that city, and with him on the sent was John Cohen, a clerk In the store. From some unknown cause the animals took fright and became unmanageable. Before they had gone far the wagon was overturned. ReddlnBton succeed ed In safely jumping off. but Cohen was thrown between tho horses and dragged a considerable distance. lie sustained a terrible gash across the forehead and several Ices serious bruises, received by being kicked by the horses. The runaways continued out to Ted rlck Itoad and turned down Railroad street, crashing Into a telegraph pole nt the West End, where they were cap tured. The wagon was a complete wreck, but the horses escaped Injury. MAYER STILL UNCONSCIOUS. His Case Is Most Perplexing and Extraordinary. Two weeks ago last night Otto Mayer was Injured in a runaway accident on Spruce street, which rendered him un conscious, from which he has not re covered since. He was thrown head first violently to the nsphalt pave, and a large contusion of the left forehead was sustained. No other Injuries, ex cept a cut on the nose and a lacera tion of the cheek wore tho result of tho accident. He was brought to the Lackawanna hospital, and has been there since. His case is an extraordinary one. Ho has not returned to consciousness for even a few minutes, but remains almost life less most of the time. Occasionally he tosses around In bed, nnd when he Is being nourished he swallows his food as If he were conscious. His pulse is normal and his tempera ture Is below tho fever point. There is a chance that he will recover, but a change must come soon if he does. EROH-HEIN NUPTIALS. Ceremony Performed at the Home of the Bride Last Night.

BLOODSTAINS ON A PAIRJ)IM)VERALLS THAT IS ALL rlHE EVIDENCE AGAINST PASOERE TO DATE. At tho Heaving Before Alderman Kasson Yesterday He Was Held to Answer the Charge of Having Killed Joseph Santoro Antonio Qrlecco Was Discharged No Evi dence Offered to Connect Him in Any Way with tho Crime Pascero Was Ready to Prove an Alibi. County Detective Leyshon sprang a surprise yesterday afternoon at the heating given Raphael Pnscere and Antonio Grlecco before Alderman Kasson on the charge of murdering Joseph untoro last Monday. Six witnesses were sworn besides Coroner l.onsstreet, and not one of them gave evidence that would hold either of the men. It seemed that they would be discharged, when Mr. Leyshon played bis trump card. A pair of blue overalls found in the kitch en of Pascere's house was offered in evidence, and Coroner I.ongstreot gave the opinion that certain stains on the right leg of the garment were blood stains. In another place nenr the seat of the overalls was a wide circle that looked us If It had been washed to wipe out tho Hood. The coroner would not swear posi tively without a microscopical exami nation that the blood was that of a human beliis, but he stated positively tho stains were made by blood. He took the overalls In charge and will maks an analysis of the stains to as certain what they wore caused by. He said that it makes no difference that the stains are live or six days old. If they are from human blood the micro fccopo will easily reveal it. ATTORNEY LEWIS' PLE K. Attorney W. R. Lewis, who repre sented the defendants, made a strong plea to havo noth men discharged; that even If the stains on tho overalls were from blood, there was no evidence to show that It was Santoro's blood, or that Pascere had anything to do with shedding it. Assistant District Attor ney W. Gaylord Thomas argued that a prima facie case had been made out to hold Pascete for the grand Jury. Mr. Thomas did not ask to havo Grlecco held. Alderman Kasson discharged Grlecco. but decided that the evidence was strong enough to hold Pascere. Tho healing did not begin until 3 o'clock. The office was packed with people, more than half of them coming from Moosle and Old Forge. Pascere hud several witnesses to prove an alibi, but they were not heard. Cor oner Longstreet was the first one sworn. He went to Old Forge on the evening of the murder nnd made a postmortem examination of Santoro's body. He described the wounds. There were two cuts on the back; one was at the top of the left shoulder blade two inches long and two Inches deep. The other was In the muscles back of tho right shoulder. It had cut tnrough the clothing and made a wound an inch deep. Upon examining the kull he found two wounds on the head, back of a line drawn from ear to ear. Both wounds were the length of an nx ' do and cut through the skull to the br.iln. On the back of the neck there were four wounds and the head was virtual ly cut from the spinal column. One of the wounds was as clean as If a razor had done It. The severance of the spinal column was dime with one blow. The coroner's opinion Is that the wounds were made with an ax rather than a hatchet. MRS. BREZEE SWORN. Mrs. Elizabeth Brezee was next sworn. She testified she knows Pas cere by sight, and she saw him Mon day coming up the road toward Mud town at about 8 o'clock In the morn ing. She lives not far from the Lacka wanna station. She took a good look at Pascere as she was testifying and said she was sure he was the man she saw that day. He had on the same clothes then that ho had on at the hearing. She has known him for a long time by sight on account of see ing him with Ben Harris, the super intendent of the Water company. She did not see Joseph Santoro that day. She was not more than 20 or 30 feet from him as he passed along the road. She was standing at her home. Mrs. Genelll, who was Margaret Mor an, of Minooka, before her marriage, was sworn, and she testified she was on her way to the Connell company store In Duryea Monday forenoon be tween 8.30 and 9 o'clock. She saw two men on the railroad track walking to ward the station as she went over the crossing toward the bridge, and one of them was the music teacher. The other man had on blue overalls and a jacket. The overalls were much worn and dirty. When she got to the bridge, which was only a short distance from where she was when she first saw them, the murder had beep, committed, but her view of It was shut off by the station. The excitement attracted her attention and she saw the man with the overalls as she lobked around run ning away. She would not be sure that Pascere was the man. She was not acquainted with him. COULD NOT IDENTIFY HIM. Harvey Davenport, a boy about 12 years of age, was the next witness. He lives at Lackawanna, and on Mon day morning started for berries with another boy. They were walking on top of the embankment that runs along the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern tracks when two Italians came c.own the track nearest the bank. They appeared to be quanellng about some thing. His attention was first attract ed toward them when they were up beyond the crossing. They had a short scuffie there, after which they sat down some feet npart. Then they got up nnd walked down toward the station. Tho boys watched them all tho way along, and when they came down to the sce'.d of tho murder, the murdered man struck at the other man, who drew tho ax from under his coat and began to use It as already described, The murderer had on blue overalls with patches and a blue smock. He could not Identify any of the prisoners as the man with the ax. He said the man ran uway after he did the deed and held his head down as he ran. Ernest Richardson was the boy with him. He gave similar testimony to his companion, except he added that the murderer wrapped the ax up in a red handkerchief. He and Davenport fol lowed the murderer when they saw the occurrence. Thomas Gillette, of Moosle, was sworn to prove that he saw Pascere around Moosle. between 10 and U o'clock on thf forenoon of Monday. Ills vldenco war nd nc particular Import- ance. Mrs. Gllby, of Lackawanna, saw nn Italian go along with overalls and Jar ket on, but she could not say wheth or it was Pascere. MR. LEYSHON SWOItN. At this stage Mr. Leyshon was called. Ho swore that ho went down to Spring Brook yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, uccompanled by Con Mor Islnl and went to Pascere's house. Ho searched the house and In the kltchori found tho overalls aforementioned. They were hnnglng on the wall and had Inside them a pair of drawers. Mrs. Pascere was there and told him they belonged to her husband. Pas cere shook his head In assent as Mr. Leyihon testified. Tho coroner wa3 then railed to give his opinion regard ing the stains. Mr. Leyshon said to a Tribune re porter after the hearing that when the time comes there will be a strong chain of evidence to connect Pascere with the murder. Attorney Lewis gave Pascere a parting word of advice to keen his mouth shut, and open It to nobody, ex cept his attorneys about tho case. Grlecco and Pascere shook hands and parted as the handcuffs were put on the latter. During the healing Pascere was In clined to put in n word ns the witnesses were testllllng and he had to be re strained. Pascere has n small forehead sloping upward to a large poll. Ills hair is thick and black. His ears are small and thin, His eyes are piercing black. He has high cheek bones, n prominent nose, nnd a determined mouth. Mrs. Pascere was not at tho hearing. CLOSE OF INSTITUTE. Professor Howell Delivered Another of His Interesting Talks-Mrs. Burke on Composition. Superintendent George Howell deliv ered unother of his Interesting talks before the Sisters' Institute yesterday. Miss Burke occupied a period that had been assigned to Father Coffey with a talk on arithmetic Father Cof fey was unable to be present. Professor Howell spoke on the Imag ination In connection with arithmetic In Myography, giving a most entertain ing and instructive address. He called attention to the popular conception that arithmetic Is an excellent study to cultlvute precision of thought and the logical faculties, but he made It clear that the study plays an Important rart ulso In the development of the Imagination. He questioned whether any great mathematical law has ever been discovered without the exercise of the faculty of the Imagination. Then followed a fascinating Illustra tion of Imagination In teaching geo graphy as ho described in beautiful language a return from tho Klondike with untold riches and a dream of building an Ideal home. Ruskln called Geneva the loveliest place on earth, but he was unduly Influenced by Its classical associations. If the beauties of natural scenery alone were to bo considered Professor Howell would se lect Interlakon. In this romantic vale he built his Imaginary home, gather ing tho materials from the four cor ners of the earth, and bringing food fiom far and near, from sky, land and sea. Thus the wonderful advantage to be affoided by a stimulation of tho Imagination was seen. In conclusion Mr. Howiil spoke of tho necessity of encyclopedia study In this subject. Mrs. Burke then gave a valuable ad dress on composition, taking the "Bos ton Tea Party" as a subject. Digres sion should not be tolerated, and tho children In writing a scenic description should not be allowed to wander Into anecdote. The Institute closed at noon as Mrs. Burke was obliged to leave for St. Louis. The week-'s work has been ex ceptionally hard for the two talented ladles who conducted the programme as an unexpected amount of labor de volped upon them. The results will be felt, however, in the year's teaching for their suggestions and advice have been excellent. After a song and the Angelus, fare wells were said and the session ad journed. THREE DAYS WITHOUT FOOD. Edmund Bartl's Unpleasant Exper ience in the Klondike. Advices received In this city show that Edmund Bartl who is at the head of a prospecting party In the Klondike had a narrow escape from death re cently. He started out wi'h an Indian guide on a prospecting expedition, carrying ten days rations with him. He esti mated that he would be absent from camp only five days. On the way back he lost the trail and tho Indian guide proved to be as unacquainted with the country as was Mr. Bartl. On the twelfth day out their food was exhausted and for three days thereafter they were without anything to sustain life, As Mr. Bartl was about to give up in despair he was found by a portion of his party who left the camp In search of him. He was In a weak and very much exhaust ed condition. ABOUT DICK CASE. Letter Received from His Manager, William Koche.

For Proof She Produced a Plcturo Taken in tho Uniform of a Sol dier and with the Letter H on tho Cross Arms No Such Man In That Company of tho Thirteenth or Among tho Pennsylvania Troops So Far as Can BoLearned. She Has Not Returned. Extreme care has to bo used by the executive committee of the Soldiers' Relief association In order to guard against imposition In distributing money nnd In other relief work. A case In point reached a climax yes terday. In relating It the name "Smith" will bo used for sake of con venience. Mrs. Smith applied to the executive committee for help several weeks ago. Her story was as a whole similar to the stories of other applicants those which prove worthy or unworthy are very much alike, for that matter. Her husband, she said, was her only sup port and since he had gone to the war she had suffered much as she was not strong, though she looked it, and want ed for the most ordinary necessities of life. When questioned as to her husband's company and regiment, Mrs. Smith said "her man" disappeared about the time the recruiting for the volunteeis and regulars began. She had no rea son other than a woman's Intuition for believing Smith mft her wit. cut u ttood-bye nnd wan undergoing hild shlps In service, all i-n account of '.o e for his Uncle Sp'nuel. The case was referred to the Investi gating agent who reported he could not recommend It as worthy. He could find no positive evidence that Smith was In the army. He would not say Smith was not In the service, for it was difficult to get any information about it. The Smiths appeared in the neighborhood where the wife now re sides about the time the recruiting be gan and nobody seemed to know much about him. His name at least, his real name did not appear on the asso ciation's roster of thu Thirteenth. SHE AGAIN APPEARED. So Mrs. Smith was told she would have to furnish some positive evidence that her husband was In tho army. That was three weeks ago, and the Re lief association officials thought they had done with the case. They hadn't. Mrs. Smith leappeared before one of them, Secretary Atherton. She was all smiles, courtesies and aglow with hope as with much precision she handed the secretary a tin-type. "There; that's him; that's tho buck To goodness may I lay me nan's on the likes of the .rascal. It's him for certain, dressed In the clothes of Com pany H, and not a care what happens to me, the loafer. You can see the let ter 'haych' on the hat, sir." Mrs. Smith wiped the corner of an eye occasionally, seated herself and said she would like "the help of a few dollars." She said the tin-type had been obtained ,rom a cousin to whom the patriotic Smith had sent It from Camp Alger, The figure In the picture looked martial and jaunty en ough. Of course the loft thumb was stuck In tho cartridge belt, the right leg was at ease, the cap was slightly tilted to the left and the whole was given an added military air by a big revolver which was thrust beneath the belt. On Smith's manly bosom were suspended National Guard medals, at testing the wearer's qualifications as a marksman.' NOT FULLY SATISFIED. Secretary Atherton was not fully sat isfied. He explained to Mrs. Smith the necessity of using all possible caution In order to protect subscribers to the fund and proposed sending the picture to Captain Corwln, commander of Com pany C. and thus verify the presence of her husband In that company. She demurred, saying the tin-type con tained the only likeness she had of the man; she wanted to keep It, "black guard that ho Is," she said. However, she finally consented to part with It. The tin-type was consequently sent to Captain Corwln with a sufficient ex planation of the case. He returned the picture, accompanied by a letter yes- 25 Cents Per Basket. rielons, California Fruits, Oranges, Lemons, etc: Order Your- Fruit Early. E. Q. Coursen Wholesale and Retail.

None of tho soldiers knew him, nor was It possible to learn that he was in any of tho Pennsylvania regiments at Cnmp Al ger, pains having been taken to ascer tain thin fact. Captain Corvvin's letter was written July 26. Not until the previous day had the soldiers In the Thirteenth been furnished any of the belts of tho kind worn by the man In the tin-type.
