SUMMONED BY MISTAKE.
Men Who Had Not Been Challenged
Were Subpoenaed.
All except one of the eighteen wit
nesses called by tho contestant at yes
terday's session of tho con'test com
missioners were well known central
city men, residents of tho First dis
trict of tho Sixteenth ward. They were
Adam Schroeder, Harry Slay, Hdward
Katatzvlck, George A. Connor. August
Hangs, Nathan Suravltz, Abe Bloch,
Joseph Ober, Charles Haugg, U. Atlas,
Harry Swatsky, Louis Klein, W. A.
Murphy. M. J. O'Hara, Ronnie Levi,
Jacob Brandvvine, Harry Scheible.
Most of these men were fcubpoenaed
by mistake, the officer who Is serving
the subpoenas evidently having used
the old bill of particulars in making
out his summons list, for yesterday ns
the majority of the witnesses who pre
sented themselves were not challenged
under tho amended bill of paiticulars.
They had to be dismissed.
There was one witness from tho
Twelfth ward, Thomas Stackpool,
whom the contestant's attorneys ex
pected to disqualify on naturalization
papers, he having told tho officer who
subpoenaed him, so It Is bald, that he
was born In Ireland nnd had been vot
ing for years on his first pnpets. He,
however, took the stand and swore
that he was born in I'lttsbutg.

What Chief Hlckoy Had to Say
About tho Work of Securing the
Convention for Scranton Home
Ward Trip.
U i o'clock yesterday afternoon the
Scranton delegation to tho state fito
inoii'B convention letuined to the city
with n older for the 1S&9 convention
tucked safely In Chief Mickey's portly
bienst.
The time of their nrilvnl was ascer
tained eniller In the day by Acting
Chief Michael Mt Mantis nnd with a
number of other enthusiasts he ai
nnged to give the victors n lilting
welcome. Five minutes befoie the
scheduled time for the nrrlval of tho
Jersey Central train, nn alarm wus
sounded from box 14. which Is near tho
station and when the tialn pulled In
tho delegation found awaiting It all
tho rompunles of tho central district,
city olilclals, prominent citizens and a
largf crowd that had assembled on a
tun thinking that some big fire was
under way.
HSCOHTF.D Till.: Dni.nfJATKS.
After the welcoming cheers had sub
sided a procession was formed nnd
tho delegates escorted through the
central city streets. At the head of
tho line rode Mayor Halley and Acting
Chief MeMnmis In the chief's the rig.
In another carriage were Street Com
missioner O' Boyle and City Engineer
Phillips. Then came Chief Hlckoy
with a smllo Hint wns nearly as broad
ns the "big fellow" himself' K. H.
Hobathan, Select Councilman Simon
Thomas nnd Detective John Molr, of
tho booming committee. Hehlnd them
marched a crowd of other delegates
armed with brooms nnd carrying tho
big banner. "Scranton ISro." which
was efff ctlvely used In advertising this
city's claim for tho convention.
Next chine the Centurys and their
handsome new uniforms, both a little
the worse for wear. They were com
manded by Captain James O'Hara
nnd led by Bauer's band. Behind
them came tho Nay Aug hose cait.
Phoenix chemical engine. Nay Aug en
gine. Crystal hose wagon, Crystal en
gine, Neptune cart and engine, the
Hook and Ladder truck and the Haglo
iose wagon.
HEARTILY CHUEKHD.
All along the toute tho delegation
was heartily cheered and econrlums ga
lore were showered on the Century's
for their excellent appearance nnd
for having so creditably represented
tho Scranton department at Lebanon.
The session broke up nt tho St. Char
les hotel with cheering and an address
by Mr. Hobathan.
Chief Hlckoy asked that Tho Tribune
express for him and tho Scranton fire
department and tho citizens of Scran
ton In general, appreciation of assis
tance rendered the Scranton delgates
In their convention fight by Chief Baxter
and his Philadelphia delegation nnd
tho Harrlsburg delegation and to ex
press thanks to tho new btate presi
dent, Mr. Cohn, of Allentown, and the
Good Will company, of that city, for
their assistance and entertainment.
Scranton, Chief Hlckoy says, Is
pledged to Harrlsburg for tho 1000 con
vention. A big key was taken along
by the Scranton delegation nnd pre
sented to Ex-State President Speer, of
Heading, when Scranton -was selected.
This will be brought along In 1S!)9
and used to "open the gates of the
city," which will be erected on Lack
awanna avenue.
The Century's would have been given
first prlzo for best appenrance, Chief
Hlckey says, If It had not been that
Scranton was accorded tho big prize,
tho convention. They wcro given flat
tering mention by the judges, which
was as much ns saying that they won
the prize, but It would hardly be wise
to glvo Scranton both the big honors.
The following is from tho Lebanon
News: "Wednesday evening Bauer's
elegant band, of Scranton, which has
become very popular since its stay in
this city, made a street parade cele
brating Scrnnton's victory. They dis
coursed charming music at tho various
engine houses, plnying lively airs, nnd
were followed by a largo crowd. They
tendered a delightful serenade to L. B.
Welmer, at his handsome Noith Hlghth
street residence. After the band fin
ished playing tho musicians were high
ly complimented by Mr. Welmer."
AT ALLENTOWN.
The stay In Allentown was of a more
enjoyable nature than at Lebanon.
Great preparations were made for the
entertainment of tho visiting delega
tions. At tho banquet, held In the
handsome quarters of tho Good-Will
Hose company, Mnor Lewis, of Allen
town, In introducing B. B. Hobathan.
paid a glowing tiibuto to Scranton. her
firemen and enviable reputation for
hospitality.
Tho response of Mr. Hobathan was In
keeping with the magnlllcent efforts
accomplished by blm during tho trip.
He assured tho largo gathering that nt
the "90 convention Scinnton would set
a paco which no other city In tho state
can surpass. Chief Hlckey, Wade Finn
and Deputy City Tieasurer P. J. Huane
were called on and gavo Intei eating
talks. Yestciday morning was devoted
to sightseeing, especially the appar
atus and elegant quaiters of the nine
hose companies, which cannot be ex
celled in the state. The coutiast be
tween the quarters of Allentown's lire
men and tho major portion of the quar
ters In this city was freely commented
on. The special train conveying the
party left Allentown at 1 o'clock, mak
ing decidedly few stops.

FACTS IN THE CASE.
Way Wllkes-Barre Delegates to Tire-
men's State Convention Treated
Scranton Instructions Given
to Vote Against Us.
The sensation of the dny was the vio
lation of the ptomlsc of the Ilkes-Hartc
delegates, who up to midnight j.eslenluy
were pledged to Scinnton. This mum
lug It was rumored that the Luzerne
lies were for New Castle. Development
proved that the mmor was well founded.
-Special dispatch from Lebanon in
Thursday's rilbunc.
The paragraph Is entirely without foiin
datlon All of tho Wllkes-Hnrre delegate
worked hard for Scranton and did ev
en thing lo have the convention go there
neM jcni. which It will. The Set.uuon
papeis In n number of things of Lite
have dono Wllkes-Hnrre people an Injus
tice In n slmll.tr wa. Yesterda s
Wllkes-liaire Record.
When Chief P. J. Hlckey, who was In
charge of Scranton's tight for the con
vention at Lebanon, returned to the
city yestciday he was shown the Rec
ord's comment by n Tilbuno reporter
and nsked for the facts In the case.
"Wllkes-Barie's delegates worked
hard for Scranton, did they?" said the
chief with a laugh. "That's a good
joke. I'll give you the facts. When I
reached Lebanon I had a conference
with Chief St. John, of the Wilkcs
Bairo depaitment, and he piofessed
his willingness to do anything he could
for Scranton. The two departments
ought to be more closely united, ho
said, and he would do whnt he could
to bring It about. This was said In
the presence of Assistant Chief Nollln
ger, of Philadelphia. I was afterwards
told by a number of persons that Mr.
St. John was doing what he could
against Sciantoiv. What 1 heard may
or may not be true. I didn't hear of
any woik ho did for us.
"When I asked Delegute William
Mauer, of Wllkes-Barre. to vote for
Scranton he said. 'My conscience
would not allow me to do It. I could
not go back nnd face my people If
I voted for Scinnton.'
"Delegate Amsmen, of the same city,
flatly told me that he had been In
structed by his company to vote
against Scranton. T told them of my
cu.weisatlon with Chief St. John and
they replied that he had not spoken
vlth them on the subject. Five other
Ljycrne county delegates insisted that
we should pay their state dues be
fore they would vote for us. I believe
that some of the AVIlkes-Barre dele
nates voted for us, hut they were In
tho minority. Oy yes those people were
certainly Kind to us'"
The conduct of Wllkes-Bnrre's rep
resentatives is all the more contempt
ible in view of tho fact that the entire
Scranton delegation, upuardsof 30, voted
for Wllkes-Barre nt Johnstown 2 years
ago and A. J. Colbnin, Jr., who went
along for the purpose of nominating
Scranton seconded tho nomination of
"Wllkes-Barne."

DETAIL WORK OF THE CAM
PAIGN IS WELL IN HAND.
Judge E. N. Wlllard Spends n Good
Portion of Each Day nt Headquar

Corps of Helpers to Assist Him.
Progiess of the- Cnmpalgn Up to

of Pennsylvania.
At Hepubllcnn county headquarters
In the Price building on Washington
avcnuo the work of the campaign Is
now In full swing. Judge B. N. Wll
lard, the county chaliman spends a
good portion of each day at the head
quarters nnd had already the details
of tho work of tho campaign system
atically arranged.
In this task he Is receiving valuable
assistance from Attorney Jamos B,
Wntklns, secretary of the committee,
whoso experience In that capacity
makes him almost Invaluable. To fa
cilitate the dispatch of the Immense
nmount of work that devolves tlpon a
county chnlrmnn, Lnyton M. Schoeh,
who lecently returned from Porto Blco
where he served ns an artillery man,
has been engaged as stenographer. A
long distance telephone hns also been
placed In the rooms so that communi
cation can be had with ull parts of tho
county.
Each day a large quantity of cam
paign literature Is sent out from head
quarters, it consists of the text book
of the campaign nnd speeches by em
inent Republicans on various phases
of the Issues that aio claiming atten
tion this year.
COMMITTEE MEETING.
Todny the executive committee will
bold a meeting at which a plan for
holding public meetings will be adopt
ed. The meetings will begin about the
middle f October nnd between that
time and election orntots will speak
in all parts of the county.
During the last days of October Col
onel W. A. Stone nnd the other stnte
delegates will pay a visit to this city.
A big demonstration In honor of their
visit will be arranged. The details of
It have not yet been decided upon.
Bepoits leeelved from the committee
men scattered over the county Indicate
that the Bepubllcan party Is In excel
lent shape for the November battle.
The Swnllow movement seems to have
spent n good deal of Its force and un
less something Is clone to revive it be
fore election day the vote will be n dis
appointment to those who have his
campaign In this county In chnrge.
It Is conceded that Congiessman Wil
liam Council deserves a reelection and
he will be accorded It by a plurality
that will make the honor all the moie
gratifying. Cornelius Smith's effort to
have Judge (Junster's name removed
fiom the Republican column of the
official ballot hns been an Ill-advised
move. It has convinced a large num
ber of persons who vveie Inclined to
sympathize with him that his last
move was obviously n grand sjand
play. A man who has displayed such
a meagre knowledge of the law Is
either unqunlllied for the Important of
flcoof Judge or descending ton tilck that
should be beneath the consideration
of a man who aspires to such an exalt
ed office.
CANDIDATE FOR CORONER.
Dr. J. J. Roberts, the candidate for
coroner. Is developing great strength.
He is a physician and surgeon of more
thnn ordinary ability and possesses a
genial personality which enables him
to easily make friends nnd retain them.
George E. Stevenson is a man whoso
knowledge of all branches of engineer
ing gives him a high place in his pro
fession. He is nn excellent candidate.
The legislative candidates are nil
earnestly engaged with their campaigns
and there seems little reason to doubt
that they will be successful.
Hon. J. C. Vaughan. with the ener
gy that Is chaiacterlstlc of him, Is mak
ing a canvass that Is meeting with ev
ery encouragement. His splendid rec
ord In the sennte duilng the four years
he represented this dlstilet has greatly
endeared him to the people and made
his election almost a foregone conclu
sion. POLITICAL JOTTINGS.
"The contest for the appointment ot ad
ditional law Judge commenced yesterdaj
afternoon In earnest.' s.ijs jesterdaj'i
U'ilkcs-Bnrro Nc ws Denier. "Petition
weio circulated turning the members of
tho bar, asking for tho appointment if
a Judge by the governor. H.-l)strlct At
torne D. A. Fell circulated a petition
asking for tho upoliitmenl of K. W
Wheuton. Oeoigc I'rquh.irt was In charge
of tho Ferris petition and B. It. Jones and
Joseph Monro sought tho favor ot their
brethren for G. L. Halsev. The law era
wcro very much interested In the affair
and lined up for their favorites. At the
time of closing tho otllccs ot tho attor
neys, tho friends of Mr. Hulscy, wero in
tho lead In number of names. Tho gen

among tho most tcspectcd members of
tho Luzcrno "ounty bar. They all havo
their friends and supporters, but there Is
ment of any of them. Tho governor
public will be satlslied with tho appoint
ment of either of them. The governor
ought to make tho appointment nt onco
ns tho condition of the business Is such
that no delay ought to bo made."
The appeal ot Dr. J. J. Snijlhe, of
Wilkes-Bane, against tho nomination of
Dr. Singer, of Potty Fott, as tho Dcino
cratlo candidate tor coroner was argued
before Judgo Woodward. Tho couita
decision Is expected In a day or two. Dr
Smytho claims that ho was given tho
double cross nt 'the last convention nnd
desires to have his r.amo go on the ticket
instead of Dr. Singer's. Hon. W. II.
Illnes In opening for Dr. Smytho declared
that at tho convention sover.ty-ilvo of tho
delegates voted for Dr. Smythe, but tho
tellers credited him with only forty voles,
and at tho snmo tlmo tallied sixty votes
for Dr. Singer, which gavo him tho nomi
nation. Mr. Illnes designated thoso who
had charge of the convention as tho
"tricksters" nnd "rlngtters" who annual
ly meet In the ofllce on Public Squaio and
nominate tho ticket. Ho said It was tlmo
they should bo taught a lesson. Ho con
tended that tho net of ISO J gavo tho

effective manner of address Is so dif
ferent from the routine lecturer, vvns
confined principally to the rudiments
of cooking ns applicable to the uses
of eggs, milk and ao forth. And to
her Interesting words was added tho
use of a chafing dish, with which she
gave practical demonstrations.

work by Mrs. C. E. Develle, and tho
two ladles held the attention of their
large audience for nearly nn hour. The

Right in the heart of the season circumstances lorce us
to cut prices. When we bought the Kerr stock we
were obliged to buy the store lease, too. So that
up to date we've had plenty of room. Today we
Rented the Old Kerr Store Koom to some parties
who will open a candy store therein. We promised
them quick possession, and as a consequence
We Must Get Out in One Week
Anybody who has seen our own store knows we keep
it well stocked. Knows, too, that we simply can't put
the contents of another store into it. Wc Simply
haven't f?ot the room. Especially is this true ot the
more bulky goods. So whether we want to or not,
we're obliged to sacrifice these goods. The sale is
bona-fide, the bargains are genuine. Here's a few ol
