THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE-MONDAY, APRIL 9, 1900.
NORTHEASTERN
COMY'S FATE IS
IN THE BALANCE
HOT FIGHT IN THE SECOND
LUZERNE DISTRICT.
Insuigent Chieftain Beaten in His
Own District and Borough, and Ap
pmently Doomed to Defeat in the
Legislative Convention Experts
from Philadelphia Imported to
Look After His Cause.
Special to the Scranton Tribune
I'ittston, April S. Yesteiday's He
publlcun primaries In tho Second I.pr
Islitlvp district wero the most hotly
contented In the history of the dis
trict. Ituprescnttitlve E. A. Corny, one
of the most completions of the Insmr
Bents who bolted the patty cnticus at
llai rl;bui'K n year ago lust winter, hud
until recently declnred that he wni
not 11 candidate1 for renomlnatlon. Ae
cepthiK this announcement In pood
fnlth, other lEnpulillcutis had begun a
contest for the party nomination,
anions thetn Geoifre Kopk, of I.uzeino
borough. Mr. Kosh tan as a roKUlnr
Republican nnd pledRcd himself, If
nominated and elected, to bo with the
nmjoiity of his paity.
A few weeks ngo, by concerted nr
lnnijement uniontr the Insurgent local
bosses, a demand for foray's renom
lnatlon was made to appear and after
.1 show of reluctance the member fioni
the Second 'succumbed to the pressure
and throw himself Into the hands of
his friends. In due time the Insurgent
staff of experts were disco veied to bo
In jjreat activity In Corny's behalf
and It was loudly proclaimed that
everybody else would have to get out
of the way or be crushed by the popu
lar stampede to the, Coray standard.
Till: FIGHT FOR REGULARITY.
This was the situation when ex
County Chairman Holcomb, ex-Repre-?entatlve
Theodore Hart nnd other or
ganization Republicans took up the
fight for party regularity as represent
ed by Candidate Ross. They reminded
the people that Coray had obtained his
election two years ago partly on the
strength of his action in abiding the
lestilt of the caucus which nominated
Boles Penrose for sonntor. On that
occasion Coray refused In caucus to
vote for either 'Wanamaker or Pcn
ioEe. Ho supported Judge Rice; hut
nhen Penrose was nominated Coray
fell Into lino nnd remained with his
party. He also, it was charged, took
his share of the legislative "spoils"
and failed to discover the vlclousness
of padded pay rolls until a disappoint
ment at Harrlsburg opened his eyes.
Two years ago Coray carried West
Plttston overwhelmingly. Yesterday
he was beaten In his own district and
carried only 3'i of tho 9 delegates rep
resenting West Plttston. In Shlck
shlnny, a supposedly lmpregnnblo In
surgent stronghold, the best that he
could do was to divide even with Ross.
It: other places along tho west bank
of the Susquehanna he was fought to
a standstill, and tonight the friends
of Ross aro claiming that they will
organize the convention nnd exhibit
a safe majority on the ballot for the
nomination. Theie are 72 delegates
and Ross, if reports are trustworthy,
has elected 3S. Whether these can he
held In the fare of the activity of the
staff of lnsuigent experts imported
Friday night from Philadelphia Is the
only factor In the problem which Is
giving the Ros men any uneasiness.
Tho Insurgent cash box has been In
evidence In many ways. Hut it Is be
lieved that Ross' lieutenants nro re
liable and that the victory as won will
bi preset ved. '

Charges of Cruelty.
Wu have Been insny charges made by llrltiili
officers and Ilrltlsli newspaper correspondents that
the liocrs have frequently outraged the white)
Hag and the reel cross dig, I'pon Investigation,
not only among the Hocri themsches, but among
the 4,01)0 Ilrltlsli pilsoncrs, Including the officers,
who wcte nt Pretoria when we were there, wo
learned that thee charges were absolutely tin
founded. On tho contrary wc did learn tint this
was a set up Job to deceive not only the people
of (treat llrltaln at home, but to deceive the
peoples of other clvlllred countries. The truth
is, t defy contradiction, that the Drills! fob
dlers themselves arc the parties who xlolatcd
many of the rules of ch lilted wirfirc, and fre
quently Ignored cue white flag and also the red
cross Hag. D was my fortune to witness some
of the these scenes injself. tin the top of Pplon
hop, when that wonderful battle ws almost over,
a joung Ilocr soldier not more thin 17 yean
of age was passing by a wounded British sol
dier, and the Ilrltlsli soldier askeel him for a
drlnl; of water; as the tender-hearted Doer lad
was kneeling clown by his side to let him drink
water from his own canteen, that British aoldle'

shed tears when he died.

"When the fight began," lie said, "a great
Iloir, In the prime of strength and manhood, was
seen carrying a small Doer flag; in a short time
he fell to rise no more. Then an old xvhltc
haired veteran picked up tlie fallen banner and,
waving it, urged Ids comrades on. With flow
ing luir and flashing cjes the. old man rushed on,
but Buddenly a shell laid him low; ere the little
dig touched the ground, however, a bare-footed
lad, onlj ill jcars of age, who had been fighting
In his shlit sleeves, leaped like a panther to
the old man's side and, snatching the flag from
his grandfather's nerveless hmd, raised it aloft
nnd pushed on. mlghtv shout arose from the
Doers as they raw tin. gallant eleed, and with
lenewed courage they mule a fearful charge;
fullowing the- llig they rushcll like an avalanche

(.dural Dingers, th" Boer commander, had
inadoiepiateel attempts to secure a cessation of ar
tiller hie-, tint the ele-iel might be buried, but
for several das without success. Finally General
Buller accepted the Boer proposal to bury the
British dead and offered to pay the bill.
"General Burgers regarded this reply as an in
sult," Mr. Davis asserted, "but, nevertheless,
concluded tu bury the British dead. Then I
visited the top of s.pIon's hop and saw there
the most houible klglit that could be Imagined.

covered with clotted blood. We tiw feet and
hinds protruding thiough the ground, nil swollen
and skin buist asunder, while the rest of the
body was coveted with a thin coating of earth.
The explanation was that these p06r British sol
diers had been buried by their comrades under
only a few inches of dirt In other places we
saw nor.-s ul de-ad British Kildicis lying on the

These men have tlie same spirit that prompted

We Should Sympathize.
Thin why should we not sympathize with

Wall Strtet Review.
New York, April 7. The spetufallvs enthusi

Preliminary estimates of lite gain In cash had
placed It from four million to tlx million dol

Wall street is in the darl: as to what drain on
the banks resources Ins so far offset this ad
liiitage is to bring the cash Increase down
to Jl.738,100. It was also expected that the
continued liquidation of loans for account of
holdert of government bonds who haie been
selling to realize on tho advance In prices would
offset the expansion of loans on account of
stock market transactions to a largo extent.
The large realizing of speculative protlts in the

Beauty-Piles of Millinery.
We doubt if there is one woman in the whole city of Scranton who would be
content to buy an Easter hat or bonnet, without lirst looking into the beauties of those they know are
here to be seen. And this very reason is responsible for the fact that we do the major portion of the
millinery business herabouts; that our hats are talked about, sung about and reai about.
So original are the styles; so beautiful are thj conceptions, as to b bayond comparison with any
others. A glance will convince you. Your friends know it. You ought to.
If you were not here during the opening, come thts week and delve into the beauty-piles of
Fashion's creations. If you are a lover of nature and (lowers, the store decorations will appeal to your
sense of artistic beauty.
The GlaSS Of FashiOll-Gowns and Wraps
You will look them over with a fascinating charm
for it is an exhibition worthy of any cosmopolitan city. Our
unrivaled facilities permit us to show the most exclusive novelties
and the greatest variety of ultra-fashionable conceits for street
and evening wear.
The tailored suits, the natty jackets and stylish skirts need
more than passing mention here, for vou to judge them rightly.
Would you rather not judge them for yourself. Cold type ould
do but feeble justice to such a commendable show. The second
floor here tells the story best.
Dress-up Easter Suits-For Boys
As the great procession of Fashion goes marching
past, we stop to see many, many, pretty things of interest to the
little folks. The natty and stylish Vestee Suits seek first place,
and come in a great variety of greys and browns, besides invisible
checks and plaids.
For the "bigger" boys, you'll like these double-breasted
Suits reaching the plain extreme of dress.
Then there are pretty Shirt Waists in white and colors, all,
the newest styles in hats ahd caps, many novelties in ties and
scarfs everything, in fact that tends to make this the best and
most sought-after boys' clothing store in Scranton.
