Pleased u)ith Prospects STATE PRESIDENT COHN said to a Tribune reporter last night "Scranton has done it self pioud: No city has ever made such extensive anangements for re ceiving a flremen'3 state conentlon. In return I can assure Scranton thut it will have the largest convention ths association has ovei held." State Secretary Wunder echoed these sentiments and added that the parade will be the largest the state has ever seen. Both ofllclals said that their annual lpports, to be presented at today's con vention, will tell of very encouraging progress duiing the year. The asso ciation, they say, was never In such a nourishing condition as at present. The Decorations. WITH A FEW finishing touUies tho decorations will be com plete. The electric Illumina tions weie displayed foi the first time last night nnd were viewed by thous ands with wonderment and delight. The arches with their bows ot In candescent globes nnd tho festoons of vnrl-colored incandescent lights, four teen hundred In number, which falily roof the block on Wyoming avenue where Wednesday night's dance is to be held won tho most admiration. The visitors were especially enthusiastic in expiessing admiration for the elec tilcal display. The lntet lor of the main court room, wheie the convention sessions will bo held, has been piofusely draped in many-hued bunting and Hags and pre sents a decidedly striking appearance. The exterior Is also elaborately be decked In the national colors It Is the Hi at time for the city hall to bo decorated nnd thoso who had it In hand concluded to do, nnd succeeded In doing the Job well. Bunting and Hags beautify the front and at night the arches at the entrance uie resplen dent In rows of electric lights, while from the clock tower, a hundred feet above ground, four aro lights are dis played All the city fire company houses are gaily bedecked and nt some of them very elaborate displays aro made. The Hook and Ladder house, on West Lackawanna avenue, Is especially elab orate, over four hundred electrlo lights being used as a part of the dec oration. Order of Parade.

It Was Greatly Enjoyed at Wilkcs- Barro Last Night. Special to Tho Scranton Tribune. Vllkes-I3ane. Pa., Oct 2. A numer ous audience appeared greatly to enjoy a clever fnrce by Chailes I5iadle and Thomas Fiost, pioduced under tho title ot "Jonah and the "Whale," at the Xesbltt this evening. The piece Is of a refined class, being devoid of horse play, and relying for success upon a most unique story, good characteriza tion and a long string of udlcrous situ ations, legitimately in ought out. The dialogue Is natural, crisp and fresh, nnd tho development ot the plot woiked out In such a manner that the Intel est is sustained to the last moment of the play. The plot : evolves about a pretty lovo story. A joung college man, having hnd cause to leave his home, Is earning his living ns a photographei at Brigh ton, the stylish Hnglish wateilng place He has fallen In lovo with n young lady at one of the hotels, but by n ser vant's blunder his letters to her have been dellveied to another He finds Rilghton too hot for him. but Instead of tunning away he elects to stay under a disguise until a chance for explanation shull present Itself. An Indian nobleman visiting Knjjland has left a photograph of his deceased plan tation manager to be enlarged, and thfi oung fellow uses the proof In making up his disguise. The original tutns out to have been the father of the young woman ho loves, who was killed abroad in a peculiar manner before tho play opens. As her mother hus Just married again, tho position of the unlucky young fel low Is seen to be a novel one, especially when his retreat Is cut off nnd he Is unable to resume his own personality. The farce abounds In excellent comedy scenes nnd as a whole supplies a thor oughly bright evening's entertainment. Fred 'Williams, the stage manager or tho Lyceum theatre, New Voik, super vised the production Brandon Tynan, In a leading part calling for unusual vetsatlllty, kept the ball rolling from the rise to the fall or the curtain. A bright young English acquisition to tho Amerlcnn stage, Miss Hsta Dean, was delightful as the daugh ter of the bogus papa. Arthur Larkln, as a superstitious and amorous Indian prince, and l.d P Wllks, as a fussy little ex-colonel, deserve commendation for unusually clever character work All the parts, however, weie well taken caio of. Miss IJvelvn Caitcr was ad mirable us tho widow -bride, as also was Mlsa Isabelle Parker, as an Irish lady of fashion.

HAS ROW BECOME A FREE-FOR-ALL AFTER REPEATED FAILURES SLATE MAKERS GIVE UP. The Loaders Say and the Candidates Admit That Thoro Is a Strong Pos-' sibility of tho Ticket Boing Hondod by Durkin and Regan Neither Could Figure Out an Accoptnblo Blato That Did Not Includo tho Namo of tho Other KirchoiF Do clinos to Enter tho Race. Sunduy night It vvus a matter of pure guess-work to foiecast the le suit of the Democratic county conven tion, Last night It would be rnh to even hazard a guess Every leader who was seen slated nnd every candidate admitted that thi convention would be a free-for-all nf fall. The Dm kin men strove all day to llx up a slate that would be an us suied winner, but tlguro as they would they could not effect a winning com bination that would not Include Regan, and as neither they nor the Heijan men cated to make overtuies toe a Durkln-Regan ticket the task of state making was given up and the slate makcis went homo to await the de velopments of the morning hour? pre ceding tho convention J. W. Sando, who was picket as the running mate for Durkin did not ful fill tho conditions attaching ti his se lection and was left out of conJldera tlon as the night grew npac Man nlon, of Caibondale, was consldvl to take Sando's promised place, but noth ing definite was done to eff-ct such a coalition REGAN HARD AT WOltF. Regan and his followers were lbo'tt all day flirting with the delegates who came to the St. Charles to be en rolled by Chairman F. J. Fltzslnimotis und Secietary J J Coyne, Intent on winning them to the support of Re gan nnd sounding them on their choice foi the other nomination, that thjy might act intelligently In efftlng a cf mblnation this morning Costello Is tho only sure thing In the whole list of candidates. No ticket is for an Instant considered that does not have him as one of the candidates for auditor He, himself, Is saving noth ing, and wisely keeping aloof from the slntemnkers Fred Klrchoff, of the commissioner's office, who was spoken of as a Durkin choice for Costello's runnlng-male.posl-tlvely declined to enter the race. Henry SCIegler was then taken up as a possi bility, but nothing was learned from him as to how he viewed the matter. John Iloran, of Dunmore, Is wnglng a stiff light for the place and expects to go Into the convention with a follow ing that will be able to foice his nomi nation on the convention, no matter which of the commlsslonershlp nsplr ants may be In the majority. It Is not altogether Impossible that Duikin, Regan, Costello and Iloian will be the ticket. If any one candi date, however, can control the conven tion, an American or German Demo crat, preferably an American Demo crat ftom the county will be given a place on the ticket FITZSIMMONS WILL PRESIDE. Colonel Fltzslmmons will preside over the convention, but will have Hon John P. Quinnan opposing him for tho chairmanship of the next counts com mittee If the Dm kin influence picvails in the nominating. Mr. Regan, it Is undei. stood, favors Colonel Fltzslm mons. The convention will open In Music hall at 10 o'clock this morning. HEARING THE EVIDENCE Coroner Investigating tho Cause of the Accident ot Sept. 11. Coroner Roberts conducted an in quest at the court house last night to inquire Into the cause of the accident on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad near Nay Aug, on tho night of Sept. 11, by which Patrick Mullen, of North Scranton, und James Parry, of Nay Aug, lost their lives. They were riding In a caboose at tached to a freight train going south. Mullen was employed on the tialn and Parry had finished his day's work as a biakeman on the road and was on the way to his home. The train was heavy and a pusher was helping It up the grade to Lehigh. Fiom this city to Nay Aug the grade Is steep and even with the assistance of a pusher the best thei could do was from six to eight miles nn hour. At the euive near Nay Aug the pushei ot the freight train was jun Into by an engine drawing ten cars of coal, which also had a pusher behind It. When the collision occuired theio wete eight men In the caboose In front of the pushet Mullen and Pairy were killed At the Inquest last night tho follow ing witnesses weie examined" John Tiiyloi, engineer of the coal ttnln.
