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.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Streot Review.
New York, Kept. 12. Values of secur
ities suffered today from a further
drastic liquidation of speculative nc
counts Induced by tho contraction of
lonns by tho banks for the purpose of
replenishing their depteted reserves
Some sentlmuntnl effect wns produced
by tho sudden death of Cornelius Vnn
derbllt. But this event though sudden
was not wholly unexpected nnd thns
stocks which the nam" Is most a'socl
ated gaev evidence of support.
Late In tho dny after loans had either
been re-ndjusled or paid off there wen
some notable recoveries In prices, not
a few of the railroad stocks rising
above yesterday's level. In tlio final
hour there were a rather urgent de
mnnd from the shorts to cover which
helped the rally. Some stocks gave tho
nppenrancc also of a demand from bar
gain hunters.
All gndes of stocks were thrown up
on the market during the day as the
rate for cnll money was marked up by
successive stages or lonns were cnlled
outright. The standard railroad sticks
suffered in equal degree with the in
dustrials as evidenced by the weaknos
of th" grangers nnd n two point decline
in Pennsylvania on large offerings. Tho
bears were watchful for opportunities
all day and were- quick to take th'
market away from sellers. They had
their greatest success In Brooklyn
Trnnslt which broke to par on the op.
enlng transaction. The most srenu
ous efforts to support failed to hold th's
ftnek nnd It fell to m The Flouvr
group showed keen sympathy, with the
weakness in this stock. People' Gas, '
Federal steel and International paper !
dropped from two to three points bel nv
last night's level and Rock Island lead
ing the van of the grangers. Tennes
see Coal opened off 91Vj points nrtf
fluctuated very feverishly over a range ,
of 5 points. Colorado Fuel moved in
sympathy but otherwise the Iron nnd
steel stocks were relatively firm nnd
came up In thp final dealing to a level
nbove yesterday's close In several In
stances. Sugar was one of the heavy
sufferers on the active list. Some of
the Ios active stocks to show notable
losses were Chicago & Eastern Illin
ois, Conpolldn.ted Oas, Mobile Ohio.
Cleveland Loralne and Wheeling, pre
ferred, Minneapolis, ftt. Paul & Sault
