The cre dentials showed" ihat evjry district was represented I'xcept those of the Bevcnth and Twelfth wnrdi. S?o many prominent Republicans at tending a convention that was dt void of a contest and thy absence of personal or factional strlfo In the Histrlct, as evidenced by tho fact that the Important nominat'en that vir tually carried with it an election, was to be given by acclamation, bespoke the enthusiasm and harmory that ;x Jited In the district and augured well for Ihe patty's future.

Wo congratulate the people of this country, regardless of party lines, that In a great crisis such ns this govern ment Is now passing through, wo havo at the helm of tho ship of state a strong, llrm, masterly Republican hand, and u cool, conservative, reliable Republican AVe endorse without reservation tho wis dom und statesmanship of President Mc Klnley In dealing with the recent war with Spain, ond arc confident that the solution of the many problems to which the war has given birth will be accom plished In such a way ns to maintain and uphold the honor and credit of this great nation throughout the civilized world. Wo endorse nnd commend our two Re publican senators from Pennsylvania, Hon. M. S. Quay r.nd Hon. Boies Penrose, nnd our own congressman, William Cor nell, for their able and patriotic sen lees In the last session of congress. We ratify nnd endorse the action of the late Repub lican convention nt Harrlsburg, nnd pledge to Colonel Stone and his asso ciates on the ticket our hearty, undi vided nnd lovnl support. To the candidate, this day nomlnateJ, We tender our hearty support nnd asslst nnce, and promise to do nil In our power to bring about his electlen and n Re publican majority for tho whole ticket In November next. On motion of Mr. Fleitz, the resolu tions were adopted. Nominations be ing declared in order by Chairman Raub, Attorney M. W. Lowry placed the name of John Scheuer, Jr., of the Eleventh ward before the convention with a neat and appropriate speech. He told that Mr. Scheuer was born in the district he now sought to rep resent and lived there continuously. He was closely Identified with the business Interests of the great Indus trial section of our great city. Ho served for three years as president of the South Side board of trade, repre sented his ward in the city councils and was prominently Identified with the city's politics. MR. SCHEUER CHOSEN. The nomination was seconded oy James McGulnness, of the Eleventh ward. He knew Mr. Scheuer as a neighbor and could vouch for him as an upright honest man of business and a stalwart Republican. There being no other nominations, Mr. Scheuer's nomination was made by acclamation on motion of Alder man Howe, Mr. Scheuer was brought before the convention by a committee consist ing of Attorney Clarence Balentlne, Emll Bonn and Solomon Millar. After he had expressed his thanks for the convention's favor he went on to say that he recognized 'the fact that the Second district is the most Important in Northeastern Pennsylvania, because of its many charitable Institutions, Its large and varied manufacturing inter ests and the great number of laboring men who lived within its boundaries. A man from a district like this should be In accord with the majority, ho argued, but yet it Is always the ex perience that a Republican candidate for the legislature must make a hard fight to be elected. He hoped to be able to continue the district In the Hepublloan fold and If hard work would be effectual he would be elected. On motion of Alderman Howe the se lection of the standing committee was left to the candidate and then the convention adjourned. DR. MACKEY RENOMINATED. Third District Convention Was Held at Dalton. 'At Dalton yesterday the representa tives of the Republicans of the Third legislative district renominated Dr. N. C. Mackey, of Waverly for legislature. He was opposed by ex-County Super intendent of Schools N. S. Davis, of Clark's Green. It Is the third time tho doctor has been thus honored by tho Republicans of that district. Ho was nominated and elected In 18S8 nnd rep resented tho district during the two succeeding years. In 1890 ho was de feated for a renomlnatlon and became an Independent candidate against W. K. Heck, of Covington, tho successful candidate In the convention. Doth were defeated and the' district sent Hon. Frank II, Coyne, a Democrat, to represent the district In the legislature for two years. In 1S96 Dr. Mackey was ngatn nom inated by tho Republicans of the dis trict and In November of that year de feated M. C. Judge, of Taylor, the Dem ocratic candidate. One of the features of yesterday's convention wns tho speech of Attorney R. H. Holgate, In which he Indirectly attacked Dr. Mackey while presenting the name of Professor N. S. Davis for the legislature. Ho said It was time the Third district shook off the stigma of being the worst boodle district In tho stnte and gave Its politics over Into the hands of clean, decent men. It was a speech along somewhat the same lines followed by Mr. Holgate In oppos ing the nomination of Dr. Mackey two years ago. JOHNS WITHDREW. John R. Johns, of Taylor, would not allow his name to go before the con vention. His friends said ho had many delegates instructed for him, but they were persuaded to leave his standard for money considerations, and ns he saw his following dissipating he decid ed to withdraw from the race. N. S. Davis allowed his name to go before the convention that the dele gates who objected to Dr. Mackey's methods might have an opportunity of registering their protest. M. E. Charles' hotel was the head quarters of the candidates. John R. Johns and N. S. Davis had rooms on the first floor of the hotel and Dr. Mackey had a room on the second floor, to which his steering committee escort ed delegates. Wado M. Finn and W. S. Langstaff were actively engaged on this committee. About 1.30 o'clock the train that car ried a big batch of the delegates ar rived nt Dalton, nnd Immediately there after the members of the steering com mittees became very active. It soon became evident to Mr. Johns that the arguments advanced In the Mackey headquarters on the second floor were having a strong effect on his follow ing, and he decided not to nllow his name to go before the convention. Ho arrived at this decision about half an hour after tho arrival of tho train, which contained the delegates from Taylor and Its vicinity. Mr. Johns spoke somewhat bitterly of the con duct of the delegates from his own town, who were elected in his interests anu then deserted him. HELD IN A CHURCH. The convention was held In the old church of the Six Principles Baptists, which Is now larely used as a meet ing house. It wns nearly 2.30 before the delegates assembled and as they entered the church they were greet ed by the strains of "The Merry Amer ican March." which was played by an orchestra composed of musicians of Dalton and its vicinity, led by Alfred B. Tlllinghast, and engaged by Dr. Mackey. T. J. Matthews, of Spring Brook, chairman of the district committee, called the convention to order nnd in the absence of the committee's sec retary, G. T. Davis, of Greenwood, C. D. Finn, of Dalton, was chosen sec retary. A. D. Dean, of Waverly, and Gebrge .J. Howell, of Taylor, were named as assistant fepcretarles ayid they received the credentials of the delegates and recorded their names. After the roll of the convention was prepared nominations for permanent chairman of the convention wero call ed for by Mr. Matthews, and G. J. I'owell, of Taylor, was nominated and unanimously chosen. Chairman Pow ell dispensed with a speech and began the duties of his office by appointing Ben Fern, of Lackawanna township; John Cook, of Old Forge, and John Williams, of tho Sixth ward of Scran ton, ns a committee on credentials. There were no contests nnd the only matter to come before the committee wns the seating or rejecting of the delegate from the newly created Sec ond district of South Ablngton town fehlp. No provisions were made in the call for representation from this dis trict but Silas Grlffln presented cre dentials. It was held that the num. her of Republican voters in South ' Ablngton township only entitled it to two delegates while the acceptance of Mr. Griffin's credentials would give it three. GRIFFIN REJECTED. The committee on credential decided to reject Mr. GrlHln's nnd the report was udopted. The permanent organization was tfompileted by the election of C. D. Finn as secretary. Nominations for a candidate for legislature were asked for and Attor ney A. D. Dean, of Waverly, named Dr. N. C. Mackey. The nomination wns not seconded. Attorney R. II. Holgate next claim ed the attention of convention and af ter reciting a story that had a very harsh application he said it was time that the Third district shook off the stigma of being the worst boodle dis trict In the stnte, n reputation it has hnd all too long. It was time he de clared that the boodler and thief should be frowned upon and the control of affairs In the district given over to decent, reputable men. "I want to say," continued Mr. Hol gate, "to the men who accepted the cold cash they now have in their pock ets, and who sit in this convention that it is a blistering shame that they can come here and after prostituting their manhood dictate the nomination of a candidate for the decent element of the Republican pnrty. It Is time that an end was put to Buch outrageous con duct. I want to name for your con sideration as a candidate for the legis lature a decent man and a loyal Re publican, a man who has always been faithful to his party; whose name is untnlnted by Jobbery of any kind. Ho will ably represent you nt Harrlsburg. I nominate ex-County Superintendent of Schools N. S. Davis, of Clark's Green." GREEN WITHDREW. Herbert Noble, of the Sixth ward of this city nominated B. C.

Distressing Accident to Joseph Mur phy, of 321 Stone Avenue, While Trying to Ride on a Carriage. By a peculiar and shocking accident yesterday afternoon a 10-yenr-old boy, Joseph Murphy, of 321 Stone Avenue, lost one of his legs, and very nearly lost his life. While playing In front of ex-Coun-cllman II. W. Coylc's store a barouche owned by A. R. Raub and driven by Jerry Lanclo passed by. He thought to steal a ride and catching hold of the rear springs attempted to swing his legs over the axle. In doing this his left leg passed be tween the rapidly revolving spokes and In a twinkling was broken, lncerated and almost torn off at tho knee. Bystanders released him and con veyed him to his parent's home, where Dr. Haggerty wns summoned to treat him. At the advice of the physician the lad was removed to the Lacka wanna hospital, where tho leg was nm- putntcd. For a long time he wns In a critical condition but flnnlly recovered from the shock, and late last night was reported to be resting easily with the chances of recovery strongly In his favor. The little fellow bore his terrible suf fering In an heroic manner nnd was apparently more concerned about the effect the accident would have on his mother than about the consequences to himself.
