K THIS SC11AJNTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1899. NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA LUZERNE DEMOCRATS FAVOR JUDGE HALSEY FREAS AND LENAHAN FAC TIONS HAVE A LIVELY TIME. After the Adoption of the Resolution Indorsing Judge Halsey, Hopubll can, a High Old Time Was Had, Which Was Only Quelled After the Arrival of the Police Minority Faction Withdraws from the Con test for County Officers. epeeial tu Tlio Scrnnton Tilbiine. Plttston, Sept. 12. There was a hot thno nt the Democratic county conven tion held In Wllkes-Hnrro today, and for a while It looked as If n riot would occur. 'Tlio cause of the trouble was the different views held by two fac tions on the Judiciary question tlio one side favoring the endorsement of Judge llalsey, the Republican nominee, and the other side opposing. The nn ventlon today was a great contrast to the Kepublicah convention last week, and has resulted In opening all the old factional sores of yeais past. The convention had been called to m-'ct at 10 o'clock, but It was 11 before It opened tip, and 'then there was u very slim attendance. Committees worn appointed and the convention nd Journed In about ten minutes. It was 2.30 when the convention was called to order In the afternoon. There had been unusual activity on the previous night and this monlng, especially upon the judgeship nomination, which was the main Issue of the cnnvontlon. The Lcnnhun faction chose J. H. Gorman, of Hnzleton, as chairman. The com mittee on resolutions gave their re port, which Included a resolution In dorsing Judge llalsey and In favor of making no nomination for judge. WHAT STARTED THE TROUBLE. The first shot was fired when John T. Lenahnu moved the indorsement of the resolutions and red hot speeches were made by several delegates. Th. chair declared the resolutions adopted and, refusing to recognize in motion to amend, the programme was pushed through. Here's where the excitement look place. The delegates were on their feet In n minute and the conven tion hall was the scene of an uproar. For a wlille it looked like a Sunday night brawl in an unlicensed saloon. The police were sent for and soon ur rlved on the scene, which quelled the trouble somewhat. A spectator, who was quite prominent during the dis till bailee, wus seized by the police, but before they could take him from the hall they were surrounded and the pisoner liberated. As soon as he re gained his liberty he became as hilar ious as ever. The Interruption by the police was the only thing which prevented a riot. Pandemonium reigned supreme while It lasted, but it finally lesiened when the chair offered to submit the llalsey reso lution to a roll call. The resolution was passed by n vote of more than 4 to 1. The Lcnnlmn faction considered this i great victory. Attorney Groveling, of Plymouth, claimed It was still In order to nominate a candidate for judge, but the chaliman ruled against him and nominations for county treasurer were called. The opposing faction were dis gusted with the proceedings so far and withdrew from the contest for the county offices. The Lenahan faction then had things all their own way and tiie following ticket was nominated by acclamation: For county treasurer, F. O. Kirkeiidall. of Wllkes-Hurro: for register, Mr. Lubrccht, of Huzleton; for commissioners, Patrick Finn, of Miners Mills, and Sterling Koons, of Hnrveyvllle, REPUBLICANS ENCOURAGED. The result of the convention Is a great encouragement to the Republi can ticket and the prospects are that the Republican ticket will go through with a rush. Even the Democrats present at the convention expressed the expectation of electing no more than the minority commissioner. FATAL ACCIDENT AT PITTSTON. Aged Polish Woman Decapitated by a D. & H.
