Tho great struggle Is for tho nomi nation for mayor and the battle Is between Hon. John 12. Roche, select councilman from tho Seventh ward, and T. J. Jennings, school controller from the Fourteenth ward. At a late hour last night both gentlemen ex piessed themselves as confident of their nomination. There will bo sixty-four delegates In today's convention and of this number Mr. lloche claims forty five and Mr. Jennings forty. Something radically wrong with the mathmatlcs of tho proposition ou will perceive. If Mr. Itoche Is nominated by to day's convention, and the betting last night was slightly In his favor, Edmund J. Robinson, ot South Scranton, will bo named for treasurer nnd Esdrng Howell, of Wcflt Scranton, for controller. Jacob Smith, of North Scranton, will be one of the candidates for assessor and James Manley, of the Twelfth ward, John C. Doud, of the Nineteenth ward, and Fred Berge, of tho Twenty-first wnrd. are the most likely candidates for the other two assessorshlp. Noth ing of a definite nature was decided upon with reference to the school di rectors up to a late hour last night. An effort was made to Alexander W. Dick son accept a. place on the ticket as di rector. If Mr. Jennings carries oft the mayor alty nomination, Edmund J. Robinson will bo his running-mate as treasurer and W. A. "Wilcox, of the Seventeenth ward, as controller. The assessor and school director nominations are open as yet, though a complete slate may be made when the Jennings delegates caucus this morning. Mr. Jennings wan at his headquar ters in the Grand Central annex for the greater part of the day and even ing, nnd Mr. Roche spent a part of the time at the St. Charles. In a room on the fourth floor of the Jermyn a party of prominent Demo crats discussed the situation during the afternoon and far Into the night. In the party were City Chairman D. J. Campbell, County Chairman F. J. Fltz slmmons.John J. Fahey.Joseph O'Brien, John 1 Kelly, John J. O'Boyle and a few others. It was asserted at the headquarters that tho gathering was for the purpose of making a slate. The party at the Jermyn would not confirm this statement. Mr. Rocho Is Confident. ''I have forty-five delegates who will ote for me tomorrow," was the state ment made last night by Hon. John E. Roche, when heen by a Tribune man at his homo on Capouse avenue. Mr. Roche had spent tho best part of the day listening to reports from various parts of the city and was In a very happy and confident frame of mind. His headquarters are at the St. Charles hotel and there he received the leturns Saturday night. The delegatus favorable to him will meet at that hotel this morning at 9 o'clock. D. J. Campbell, the piesent chairman of tho Democratic city committee, will be put forward as the Roche candidate for chairman of the convention. Mr. Roche's name will be presented to the delegates by Hon. John P. Kelly. As Jennings Views Situation. Candidate T. .T. Jennlnira wns iun at his headquarters, adjoining Music nan, last evening, lie was surrounded by a number of the younger party workers who have been his stpmlf.i!- supporters during his preliminary can vass xor me nomination, no was not pleased with the treatment ho received from some of the older T)pmnrr.itc ivlih whom he has fought many a good fight in tne past. Though annoyed, Mr. Jen nings was very confident. "I will have forty delegates in today's convention,'" he eald in reply to The Tribune man's ouestlnn. "ti- t will be sufficient to nominate me; u's more than half tho dnMsrutps wiin iin be in the convention." Mr. Jennings' candidate for i-tiniimnn ot the convention will be W. O. O'Mal ley, of the Twentieth wnrd. The namo of Mr. Jennings will be presented to the convention by Attorney M. J. Dono hue, who will gain the privilege of the floor of the convention on tho creden tials of his brother, Martin Donohue, one of the delegates from the Twen tieth ward. This morning Mr. Jennliuru' ilplprmii. will meet and caucus In the annex to the Grand Central hntpl. mllnlnlni- t.i- sic Hall, where the Jennings headquar ters aie located. Saturday's Primaries. Tho nrlmarles Saturdav nflo.nr.nr. were very lively. In almost every dis trict In the eltv rnnrilrintoa fnp .loin. gates wero In tho field In tho Interest of mo rival candidates ror mayor and the fighting In not a few of the districts was very spirited. As a result some bad blood was engendered and today's convention will have several contest? to straighten out In the Seventh ward, Mr. Roche's home, his delegates had no opposition. In the Fourteenth ward, Mr. Jennings' home, there was nil kinds of exciting fighting between tho candidates for delegate favorably to Mr. Jennings, and thoeo who favored P. J, Nealls, who also resides In the Fourteenth ward. Mr. Jennings' delegates won out and thereupon tho Nealla boom for mayor collapsed. In the Sixteenth ward two election boards sat and most of those who voted deposited a ballot with each board. Onu board returned Harry May elected and the other Frank Callahan. Tho com mute on contested seats will adjudi cate the matter today John Phalen and Patrick Hughei wero candidates for delegate In the Third district of the First ward. Phal en got one more vote than Hughes and the latter will enter a contest to day. The list of delegates given out at each headquarters as authoratlva differs In many respects and the com mute on contested seats thaf will bo appointed this niornlnc will ba a bodv of tho greatest Importance. Its report will bo awaited with liveliest Interest. -" i ii FUNERAL OF EDWARD WENZEL Interment Was Mad'o in tho Dun more Cometory, All that was mortat of tho late Ed ward Wenzel was laid to rest with most fitting ceremonies yesterday In the Dunmoro cemetery.

The Light Trnck Botwcen Carbon dalo and Farviow nnd tho Hoavy Track Betwoon Waymart and Hon oadalo, with tho Farviow Piano as a Connecting Link, Forms tho Route Work of Widening tho Tracks Was Done Yesterday A Thouoand Mon Wero Engaged. Today, steam will supplant gravity as tho motive power on the Delawaro nnd Hudson road between Carbondale and Honesdale, nnd, Instead of "the Gravity," that portion of tho company's lines will be known as the Honesdale branch of tho Pennsylvania division. The Gravity road ceased to exist Sat urday, when tho old picnic cars left Cnrbondnle for a trip across the moun tains, distributing n small at my of workmen all along the route to widen tho tracks and make the other Improve ments entailed by tho change from a narrow-gunge to standard track. Work preliminary to the change hag been going on for several weeks. Cuts have been widened, bridges strength ened, spikes and longer ties distributed and tool stations established at various points nil ulong the route. The work sot out for Saturday and yesterday was the taking up of the tails and moving them out an Inch nnd a quar ter on each side, tho narrow gunge that has been In use on the Gravity being 4 foot C Inches, or two and one-half Inches less than the standard width. BEGAN YESTERDAY. Nearly one thousand track hands, picked up between Albany and Wllkes Barre were engaged In tho work. It was commenced at seven o'clock yes terday morning nnd completed on this side of the mountain before 2 o'clock In tho afternoon. A given number of men wero assigned to each mile of track and tho work was carried out systematically. Everything went llko clockwork and when the widening had been finished there were several hours of daylight anu fine weather remain ing. At Shepheid Ciook, new ties and heavy rails weie put in and the track was set to the extreme edge of the loadbed, In oider to make tho curve as easy as pofdlblc. In addition to the heavy rails of tho track, substantial guard rails were extended around the curve, making it next to impossible for a train to get over the embankment. Two hundred men w ero engaged at tho "crook." , During tho afternoon locomotive No. 1G make the trip to Farvlew to test the new track. The run was -without Incident. Heavy timbers have been placed un der all the bridges and at No. 2 they occupy the center of the old switches below. Indicating that there will be no furthers Ube lor the tracks they ob etruct. Several excursion cars of narrow guage, In which the workmen were transported, are at the top of tho mountain with nothing to come homo on, save the wiue guage track. By openlng the latches on the planes they might possibly be urn to Carbondale that way. However, the question of their disposition Is causing some spec ulation. Amateur photoginphers swarmed along the line yesteiddj taking snap ehots of the operations Some wag posted tho sign: "Llght-tiack lovets muht now look both was for cats." OPERATING SYSTEM. Tender the operating system trains will be run to and fiom Carbondalo on the light track, or, more familiarly speaking, the track on which tho re turn trip from Farvlew used to be made. Between W.iymant and Hones dale the loaded track will be used both ways, there being a long level with no Intervening planes. From Farvlew to AVaymart, and from Waymatt to Far view, the present plane, with Us tracks widened, will for tho pretent be used. Tho oidlnary sled locomotive will draw the trains on the portion of the roud between Waymart and Honesdale. Between Pars lew and Caibondale a smaller locomotive must bo used, be cause of the Inability of the latger en gines to get around the famous "Shep herd's Ciook" curve this side of Far lew. Specially built engines with swinging tiucks ate to nupplant tho smaller locomotives as .soon as they can be secured. Eventually this hingle remaining plane will be done away with. Surveyors aio already at work on u road around Far view mountain. Its starting point Is near the Staples hotel, In Wuymart, and pioeeeding boutherly to the resi dence of Daniel Gray In Canaan, it swings to the southwest to the Mun bon faim, thence to Snackhammer's and then through the gap to tho light tiack, some distance below Farviow. The route, it Is wald, will be less than live miles long and will have an easy grade. On Saturday, Englneeis John Amor man and William Hague took locomo tives Nos. 45 and 80 from Carbondalo to this city and thence over the Erie and Wyoming nnd E:le to Honesdale, to be jeady to begin the running ot tinins on the other end of the line this morning. Six passenger trains a day each way will be run for the present. Tho schedule Is as follow h. TIME-TABLE. Trains will leave Union station, Car bondale (city station ono minute later), for Honesdale, as follows: 7.13, 0.35 and 11.15 a. m.; 1.0C, 3.09 and COS p. m. Arrive at Honesdale, 8.41, 11.03 a. m ; 12.13, 2.34, 4.37 and 7.35 p. m. Trains will leave Honesdale for Car bondale as follows: 7.30, 0.51 and 11.12 a. m.; 1.22, 3.25 and 5.30 p. m.

Trains will be made up at tho Union station nnd will make a stop each way at the Seventh avenue or city station. DEADLOCKED JURY AGREES. Judgo Archbald Helps Them to Come to nn Understanding. After being out slnco Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock tho Jury In the damago case of Mrs. Barbara Joyce agalnet the city of Scranton came In Saturday morning at 10.30 o'clock with a verdict for the plalntllt In tho sum ot J325. At 10 o'clock Judge Archbald sent for tho Jury to give them additional Instructions. He said to them that there was no question but that the plaintiff was entitled to some dam ages. Part of Ninth Btrect had been taken for tho benefit of Robinson street and this was an Injury to the plain tiff's property on Ninth street. She has only a fiec Interest in one-half the property and a dozen uro Interested In the other half, and any verdict she might recover ought to represent about half the actual damage to tho property. For lnstnncc, If a verdict of $230 was rendered It would mean that the Jury found tho prop.erty was damaged to the extent of $500. This figure, the couit ventured to say, wouia be a fair verdict. Anything llko $600 or over would bo excessive, ho said, and ho would not allow it to stand. Twenty minutes after retiring tho Jury came In with n verdict for $323. City Solicitor McGlnley will ask for a new trial, alleging that the Judge committed error In giving these addi tional Instructions to tho Jury. BOY SNEAK THIEF. Numoroua Roports of Visits Ho Made to Houses on tho "Hill." Was Caught Onco, But- Allowed to Escape. The article in Saturday's Tribune on the operations of the boy sneak thief on the "hill" has brought to light a number of Instances of similar cases, and points to the conclusion that work was planned on a wholesale scale and carried out In a systematic manner. It Is also evident that the boy, or, more likely, boys, aie abetted by older per sons, for In two Instances tho young Intruder, nfter getting away, was driven off In a carriage and In one in stance he was seen to Join a crowd of men In an alleyway. This latter incident was noted at the residence of William Hanley, C33 Mon roe avenue. The boy was discovered pushing his way Into the house unan nounced, and, when held up by one ot the servants, blandly Inquired, "Is this wheio Dr. Barnes lives?" The circum stance was rather suspicious to the people in the house nnd tho linv IX nn watched. Instead of going towards Dr. iiarnes residence, as per directions, he went nround to the rear nnd was short ly afterwards seen walking hurriedly away with several men. DRIVES OFF IN CARRIAGE. At M. H. Holgate's residence, 918 Vine street, where news of the boy's game preceded his visit, an effort was made to capture him, but he ran out of the house, and, Jumping into a carriage, was quickly dilven away. Rufus J. Foster, of 539 day avenue, who 1b lying abed with a broken leg, wns surprised, upon awakening from a doze, Friday afternoon, to see a strange boy in his room, which is on the second Hoor. He called for a ser vant, but before a 1 espouse came the boy had made his escape. Mrs. Alfred Hand was reclining 011 a couch in a ground-floor room of her home, nt 505 Jefferson avenue, reading a newspaper. Her pocketbook, contain ing a considerable amount of money, wus left lying on a nearby table. She happened to fall into a doze, and on awakening found her pocketbook open and the money gone. Richard J. Matthews, of 440 Wyoming avenue, John A. Mears, 431 North AVashington avenue: K. T. Sweet, 829 Jefferson avenue: Mis. Ida M. Albro, S13 Jefferson avenue, F. L. 'Peck, 735 Jefferson avenue; Claude C. Conkllng, C4C Quincy avenue, all repoit visits from a bov who forgot to knock, and who, when surprised, would make it appear that he had gotten Into the wiong house. Mrs. I. A. Allabach, of G1J Vine stteet, near the llbraiy, is filled with vain regrets since last Thuisday be cause of lost opportunities. She had been In tho kitchen in consultation with the cook that afternoon, and, upon going to her chamber on the second tloor, was surmised to city. A lady on Vine street, near the library. Is filled with vain regrets sliite last Thursday because of lost oppor tunities. She had been in tho kitchen In consultation with the cook that af ternoon nnd upon going to her chamber on the fcccoiul floor was surprised to see a boy standing near her dressing table. She Indignantly demanded the cauee of his presence, and he hastened to assure her that ho was looking for Mrs. Dickson. Ills mother, he ex plained, worked for that lady and he was sent to her home for some shoes sho desired to give to his little brother. He must havo entered the wrong house. HAVE THE YOUNG VILLAIN. His etory was not believed, and he was Immediately taken to the kitchen, where, with the assistance of the cook, a thorough examination was made of his pockets. Nothing was found there in, but the lady remembered having left sums of money In different places In her chamber, together with her Jew els, hastened upstairs to Investigate while the boy walled and protested his lnnocenco in the granp of tho Irate cook. Tho valuables were found un touched, and, after still more vigor ously questioning the culprit, who gavo his name and address and swore sol emn oaths that he was a very good boy, ho was allowed to go. In her search the lady had not for gotten that sho had Just placed a live dollar note In her pocket book, which was thrust In the pocket ot her seal skin coat on the bed In the gueet cham ber. She saw that the pocket book was In the same place and did not examine Its contents, believing naturally enough that it had not been meddled with. That evening she was at a church en tertainment aud had taken special trouble to give the portmonnalo Into tho safe keeping ot a friend, as later Today, Short Lengths of Ginghams, Etc. LackawanrmAve she expected to uso the money. How ever, on opening It, much to her amaze ment, the five dollars had disappeared and then It was that she realized how sho had been duped by tho little scamp who had been nt her mercy a few hours before. Her chagrin may be Imagined, particularly as nfter develop ments seemed to prove that she had allowed a thief to slip through her fin gers, whoso capture would piobably havo brought to Justlco the perpetra tors of tho annoying depredations ex perienced In many quarters. DESCRIPTION OF TUB BOY. Tho boy was apparently about twelve years old, woro knickerbockers and could bo Identified If seen again. Ho had sneaked In through the front door, which had been unlocked, but a brief time, and had evidently been adept enough to conceal his plunder somewhero ctao than In his pockets. FATHER AND SON HURT. They Foil Into a Cupola at tho South Mill Last Night Tho Father Was Probably Fatally Injured.

Tho McGovern's home Is on Fourth street. There aro a number of chil dren In the family. A FORMER SORANTONIAN. W. H. Brainard Died at His Home in Buffalo. W. H.
