NEW NOMINATIONS
FOR THE POOR BOARD
FILED JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT
BY ATTORNEY J. J. MURPHY.
In Four of the Soveu Districts tho
Democrats, in tho Guiso of "Citi
zens," Put Up Poor Director Candi
dates, Three of tho Nominees Doing
Candidates for Ru-Eloction, as It
Woic, and tho Fourth being a Can
didate to Fill a Vacancy Suppoacd
to Bo a Measure of Precaution.
At 11.20 o'clock last night foriy
minutes before tho lust moment al
low ed for Wing nomination. papcra for
city olllces Attorney John J. Murphy,
accompanied by another well known
Uunoeint, as n witness, handed to tho
coutt houso Janitor four "citizens"
nominations for the olllce of poor di
rector. Th Janltot placed tho papis In the
county commlhsloncis' private nfllc
ptitstiant to general Instructions given
til hi when tne commissioners closed
their olllce for the day.
The nomlneea nic: Martin F. Hand
Icy, for the Seventh, eighth and Six
teenth wariN, formetly tho North
waid of Sciuuton. John J. Murphy, for
Hk Eecnih, Twelfth, Nineteenth and
Twentieth wnids foimcily the South
ward of Scranton; Daniel J. Campbell,
for the Ninth, Tenth and Seventeenth
.urd, foinrrly the middle ward of
Pciiinton. a id Trod AV. Berge, for the
Thlid oud Twenty-first wards, formei
ly the township of Providence.
Just what this move means wns not
olliclally given out, but it Is under
stood that It Is simply a precautionary
me.tHUte.
The law under which the men are
claiming u place on the poor board dl
lects thut in cert tin wards elections
shall be held on certain yeais, ns In
councilmaulc elections, where a mem
ber Is elected in odd; numbered wards
in one year and even numbeted the
next year. The fact that only four
nominations are made where there are
heven olllces to be filled, tends to sub
stantiate this view.
Three of thoso four nominees, It will
be lemembered, were elected, unoppos
ed, last spring. Mr. Ueige was a can
didate on their ticket, but was de
feated by J. J. McNamara, who quietly
secured enough votes to defeat the un
waty Beige. Ho, however, has since
moved away, and Mr. Berge appears
as n candidate to fill tho vacancy.
Frank J. McDonald, who was chosen
from the Dunmore borough end of tho
district, has also moved out of the dis
trict. Six days, however, remain in
which to make nominations from bor
oughs and it is quite possible a can
didate for tho vacancy will be named
In the Intel 1m.
DYNAMITE IN WOOD.
Heavy Cartridge of tho Terriblo Ex
plosive Placed in a Wood Pilo
at tho Residence of
Charles Hillermau.
Some person as yet unknown put a
cartridge of dynamite in tho center of
a block ot wood and placed the latter
In a pile of kindling wood in the yatd
surrounding the residence of Charles
Hlllerman, at 1141 Bitch stieet. Mis.
Hlllcrinan went to the wood pile eatly
yesterday morning, and s-celng a block
that was apparently too laige to lit
in the kitchen stove, she was about
to split it with a email ax when (some
thing about the appearance of the
block attracted her attention and she
did not .strike.
If the blow was delivered Mrs. Hll
lerman would not, in all piobabillty,
bo alive to tell the story.
She examined the block carefully and
found that It was originally one piece,
but had been split and afterwards nail
ed together. Her cuiiosity now fully
aroused, Mrs. Hlllerman forced the sec
tion oi ine uiock apart ana found a
quantity of dynamite carefully wrapped
in oil paper. A hole had been made
In the center of the block to admit of
the dynamite being plaeeu In it.
Mrs. Hlllerman brought the infernal
machine to Chief Gurrell and explain
ed to him her suspicions concerning tho
Identity of the person who sent It. It
Is the third such machine that has been
found In that part of the city within
the last few weeks.
Mrs. Helrlngs, of Beech street, le
cently threw a piece oC wood Into her
kitchen stove und an explosion follow
ed which wrecked the stove and did
considerable damage to the kitchen.
Mrs. Greenwald. of the same neighbor
hood, aleo found n quantity of dyna
mite in the yard at her homo a short
time ago.

PRESIDENT BARROW HERE
Consulted with Local Baso Ball
Men About Atlantic Loaguo
Matters Officers Elect
ed Laet Night.
i:. O. Harrow, of Philadelphia, presi
dent, Kcietnry and treasurer of the
Atlantic league of base ball clubs, was
In the city last night and hud a confer
ence with the men who compilse tho
local association. They aro Wade M.
Finn, Edmund J. Robinson, Harvey U.
Long, 1'. W. Costcllo, James Fleming
and Martin Switt. The following olll
cers weio chosen: Wade M. Finn,
piesldent; Harvey n. Long, secretary
and treasurer; Martin Swift, manager.
President Dai row explained to the
members of the association that ho was
in Wllkes-Barro yesterday, where ne
gotiations closed for tho admission of
a team from that city Into the Atlantic,
league. Tho meeting was held in the
oirice of George Stegmaler.who Is presi
dent of the Wllkes-Barre association.
The men inteiested In baso ball in that
city aro practically the same ones who
owned the Eastern league club there.
When they left that league they were
allowed to retain their Eastern league
players and will go Into tho Atlantic
league with a club ot seasoned ma
tcilal. The other clubs that will comprise
the circuit aie Newark. Paterson, Lan
caster, Allcntown, Reading and Rich
mond, Vu. It Is a compact circuit, and
tho traveling expenses will be about
one-third what they are In tho Eastern
league. Each club has to give a guar
antee of J500 that it will finish the sea
son. A further mean3 of insuring the
ptablllty ot the league is the creation
of a sinking fund, In which fifteen
per cent, of the receipts of each club
will be deposited. That fund will be
used in the event of a city not being
able to support Its club. The league
will take charge of the players until
tho franchise can be placed In a suit
able city.
The salary limit in the Atlantic
league is $1,750 per month. The season
will open about May 1 and continue
for four and one-half months. Each
club will play sixty-five games at home
and as many abroad.
The local association has fortunately
been able to secure tho old grounds on
Piovldence road. Scranton takes the
place In the league made vacant by
tho dropping out of Norfolk, Vn., and
will get the players that club had under
contract last season.
Among the players Manager Swift
has already secured are Hodson, Kee
nan, Allen, RIsley and Staley, pitchers;
O'Neill, catcher; "Morris Steelman and
William Hargrove, outfielders; Jack
Wentz, second base, and Shortstop
Klapf. A number of other good men
are being negotiated for.
Piesldent Rairow expressed himself
last night as much pleated with the
circuit. He Is confident the coming
season will be very successful.
.

CARBONDALE CASE
ABRUPTLY ENDED
M'MULLEN VINDICATES PROSE
CUTRIX AND PLEADS GUILTY.
It Was Not Miss Tappan's Portrait,
Ho Avers, and It Was Novor
Meant as Such-Judgo Archbald
Lots Him Off with a Pino of $2B
and Costs -Moonoy and Hope Go
to tho Ponitontiary-Wifo Boator
Is Found Guilty Murphy Needed
tho Shoes.
Carbondale's lascivious picture case
fell through yesterday afternoon and
tho morbid throng which packed the
main couit room to tho doors dissolved
In disappointment. McMullcn- gave
Miss Tappan the vindication sho
sought by publicly declaring that the
photogiaph did not represent her and
then rleaded guilty of displaying an
obscene picture and was lined $25 and
costs.
McMullen, when brought In by Depu
ty Sheriff Ryan, did not appear to be
tho Invalid the couit was asked to be
lieve ho was when a plea for contin
uance of the case was made the day
bofoie, and the general Impression pre
vailed that Judge Archbald did not
make a bad guess In taking It for
granted that no great harm would
come of taking McMullen out of his
sick bed and bringing him into court.
After Miss Tappan had caused a gen
eral "rubbering" by responding to her
name and taking n seat at the prosecu
tor's table, Mr. Scragg, attorney for
McMullen again moved to continue the
case on the ground that he had not
been able to prepare a defense, owing
to the Illness of hla client and the fact
that tho bill ot Indictment contained
ho many counts that no satisfactory de
fense could be prepared without a bill
of particulars, for which he proposed
to ask. District Attorney Jones re
moved the cause of the latter com
plaint by electing to proceed on tho
last two counts of tho Indictment,
which charged, In substance, having
possession of and exhibiting obscene
pictures. Judge Archbald thereupon
directed tho trial to proceed.
SAW HIM EXHIBIT IT.
Several witnesses told of having seen
the picture In McMullen's possession,
and one of them, William McDonough,
sworo that McMullen exhibited It to
him as a picture of "Lizzie May,"
meaning Miss Tappan, as he took It.
The noon reccfas came at this junc
ture and when the cabo was resumed
at 2 o'clock p. m. Mr. Scragg announced
that his client would plead guilty.
"Miss Tappan simply wants a vindi
cation," Mr. Scragg went on to say,
"and my client afllrms that It Is not her
picture. I think sho Is much prettier
than the picture. McMullen says that
tho photographer who gave him tho pic
ture told him It waa taken In New
York state threi4 or four yeats ago."
To this Judge Archbald said: "If
there was any evidence that the de
fendant exhibited It for the purpose of
throwing any slight on the prosecut
rix, I would bo inclined to visit him
with a serious sentence, but as It was
elmply shown around as on obscene pic
ture without any suggestion or effort
of that kind, I think this case can be
entirely met by simply a fine without
imprisonment." He then Imposed a
fine of ?23 and costs. McMullen paid
the fine and forthwith plead Insolvency
and put the costs on the county.
William Moonoy, alias Moore, and
Ernest Hope, who were tried for bur
glarizing Handley and McLoughlln's
shoo store on Nov. 8 laet and T. R.
Bowen's hardware store, a week later,
were sent to the penitentiary, Moonoy
for three ears and nine months, and
Hope for two years and six months.
Moonoy was found guilty in the Hand
ley and McLoughlin case, but was ac
quitted In the other. Hope, who ap
peared at the trial wearing tho pair of
shoes stolen from Handley and Mc
Loughlln's place, plead guilty of re
ceiving stolen goodfl in that case and
In tho other was returned guilty of
burglaty.
MOONEY'S RECORD.
Mooney served six months In tho
county jail for burglarizing A. B. Co
hen's house In 1S92; two years and six
months in the Eastern penitentiary for
robbing P. H. Daly's store and one year
and six months in tho penitentiary for
breaking Into A. B. Frcar's store. Hope
was tiled, but acquitted of burglary at
an 1S9S cession.
William O'Brien, who was captured
coming out of A. C. Nettleton's shoo
store In the Commonwealth building,
after having broken in and helped hlm
btif to a pair of shoes, plead guilty and
was sentenced by Judge Archbald to
six months In the county jail. The
fact that O'Brien took only one pair
of shoes and his statement that ho only
committed the deed because his 'feet
were on the ground" moved the court
to doubt if he was a bold bad burglar
and resulted In his getting a light sen
tence. Thomas Sayies, the soldier boy,
charged with stealing a gold watch
from the residence of John II. Jones,
on Harrison avenue, was found guilty
of receiving stolen goods. Tho Jury
recommended that the maximum pen
alty be Imposed, but when they learn
ed that this was three years In tho
penitentiary and $300 fine, they did
not Insist on the court adopting their
recommendation. Judge Archbald was
at first Inclined to give him a year and

James Murphy plead guilty to two
charges of larceny and was sentenced
by Judge Gunster to five months In tha

House.
WITHOUT LEAVING BOX.
Without leaving tho box, the Jury in
the case of Samuel Smith, colored,
charged with robbing Rlchoid Shovelln
of a watch and $1 In money, agreed
upon a verdict of acquittal. Shovelln
was lying down drunk on Spruce street,
near Raymond court, one night In De
cember last, with a man named John
McKlnney tugging at him to get him
upon his foot, when Smith happened
along, and, at McKInney's request, lent
a hand In getting Shovelln to his feet.
During tho righting process Shovelln
was robbed of his watch and money.
Ho discovered It before Smith hod got
ten out of sight, and when ho com
plained, McKlnney, who was still with
him, raised tho cry of btop thief. Smith
stopped, offered to submit to a search
ing and then went on about his bus
iness. That night he was arrested and
held to ball for the theft, remaining
In Jail ever since.
At the trial yesterday Shovelln In
sisted that he was knocked down and
robbed by a colored man. McKlnney
said Smith did not strike Shovelln, but
alleged that he did the stealing. Smith
admitted ho helped Shovelln to his feet,
but denied robbing him. Tho Jury
believed that tho officers accused the
wrong man.
Alex Dunn declined to prosecute Har
ry Caskey for falling to deliver some
advertising novelties entrusted to him
to distribute and Caskey was liber
ated William Glbney was found guilty of
wife-beating nnd sentenced to thirty

Carl Schneider and Ignatz Belonaz

said.

Scranton Store 124
Wednesday-
The banner day of this
extraordinary muslin
underwear sale
Two days of the second chapter to our Great Underwear Sale
have transpired. Today, the third day, is intended to be the
greatest of all, and to that end we have made still further price
reductions on some of our best styles oi high-class garments.
Ordinary money-saving chances at this store will thus be still fur
ther augmented by the new reductions that have been made.
Our recent purchase ol Muslin Underwear was such as to enable
us to meet ALL competition no matter what concessions and in
ducements may be made.
Sixty cents on the dollar
for the product of America's
premier underwear manufacturers
Is an occasion not soon to be forgotten. Every garment is
strictly high-class in every respect well made, excellently trim
med and in every way equal to the best that can be produced at
home by the most skilled hands. All this comes to you at half
price, and the quantities are such that we shall not be sold out at
ten o'clock in the morning, either.
MUCH VERBIAGE is very poor recompense for the low
quality of underwear offered by some stores. Just as we set the
pace in low prices so do we also excel in the superiority of the
goods we sell.
Only the GOOD a I bargain prices here the Inferior at
no price.
