ACCUSED OF BIGAMY.
Harry Swartz Is a. Doubly Married
Man.
Hairy Swartz, known In Scranton

NOVEL PLAN TO AVOID WORK.
Four Breaker Boys Cut Belts to Se
cure Suspension of Operations.
Suffering from the Intense heat and
weary of working, four brca'cer boys,
John Smith, AVllilam Lenahan. Iicnja
mln Williams nnd John Rolands, con
ceived the Idea of having the opera
tions suspended at the West Ridge
breaker recently by cutting the belts
which operated the breaker machine! y.
The company oftlclals were suspi
cious that the belts were cut, and
traced tho misdemeanor to Lenahan
and Smith, who afterwards confessed.
Williams and Rolands were merely
accessoiles. The former were held In
$300 ball each by Alderman Myers.
JOHN BOLAND MISSING.
Aged Man Disappears from His
Homo on Meylert Avenue.
John Uoland. a man 7S years of age,
living at 1312 Meylert aenue, with
Michael Dougherty, Is missing from
home, and his disappearance has ex
cited considerable anxiety In tho fam
ily, as of lato he has been acting
queerly and Is considered a little weak
of mind.
When last seen he wns walking near
the nut and bolt works. He has not
been home since early yesterday after
noon, lie Is nbout five feet eight In
ches In height, nnd has long gray
whiskers.
WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Milkman Henry Schulthels' Barn De
stroyed by Fire.
A large barn at the western end of
Taylor, near the Pyne, belonging to
Milkman Henry Schulthels, was struck
by lightning during last evening's
storm and burned to thp ground.
The live stock was rescued, but near
ly all the wagons and other contents
of the barn were destroyed.
HOWELL DECLINES
TO BE CANDIDATE
MAKES CONRY THE LIKELY
CHOICE FOR CONGRESS.
0. O. Roland Is a Possibility but Ho
Prescribes Conditions Which Make
His Nomination. Impossible it Mr.
Conry Does Not Back Down.
Brown Will Not Stand for Pio
thonotary and Norton Is to Have
It Ex-Mayor O'Neill Is the
Leaders' Choice for Chairman.
While nothing definite has been done
to mend the break In the Democratic
slate resulting from Superintendent
George Howell's withdrawal from the
list of candidates for congress, it
looked last night ns If tho plnce would
go to Attorney M. P. Conry. He is
the only one making a tight for It
nnd the leaders nre disused to regard
him as a likely sort of candidate.
C. G. Roland Is being talked of as a
probability, but Mr. Roland declares
he Is not seeking the oiilce and wilt
only nccept the nomination as an un
animous gift. Mr. Conry declares he
Is In to stay and consequently If both
ho and Mr. Boland live up to their
respective declarations, Mr. Conry will
be the nominee.
Mr. Boland, It Is understood, does
not expect that ho could be elected to
congress, but would bo willing to tnke
a chance on It so that he would be, at
least, a defeated candidate for con
gress, which would, according to po
litical custom, make him local dlstil
butor of federal patronage under Mr.
Bryan In the event of his election. In
a nutshell, Mr. Boland, by tunning for
congress, would at the same time bo
running for postmaster for himself and
a whole lot of other things for a whole
lot of his friends.
DELEGATES MAY NAME.
It is not Improbable that the conven
tion tomorrow will witness the unusunl
spectacle in local Demociatio politics
of the delegates being allowed to make
a choice without any dictation fiom
the leaders. John J. Murphy and Hon.
John P. Qulnnnn nre the only candi
dates being considered for the district
attorneyship and they aio about equal
ly acceptable to tho leadeis. Unless
something should occur today to
change the conditions existing yester
day, tho slate-makers will Indicate no
preference In this instnnce, but allow
the convention to chose between the
two.
Frank P. Brown, of Carbondale, who
was besought to take the nomination
for prothonotary, declines to allow his
name to be used, and the place In
consequence will probably go to his
neighbor, Matthew F. Norton, who
wants another try at John Copeland.
City Treasurer P. V. O'Connor, of
Carbondale, and City Treasurer E. J.
Robinson, of Scranton, are spoken of as
possibilities, but neither seems anxious
to go Into the fight. They, like Mr.
Brow n. have strength which Mr. Nor
ton does not possess in an equal de
gree, and it Is the kind of strength thnt
Is first considered by the pouers-th.it-ho
In sizing up the desirability of a
candidate. How far this particular
feature of a candidate's strength en-
tors into the matter can be estimated
when It Is known that the geographic
and racial features would be passed
over almost unhesitatingly by the
slate-makeis It Mr. Robinson would
consent to go Into the right.
THOMPSON FIRST.
Frank Thompson Is first choice for
clerk of the courts, but as yet he has
not Indicated In the practically pre
scribed manner his serious nnxlety for
the oiilce. Ex.-Chief of the Fire De
partment P. J. Hlckey, e-School Con
ti oiler Renson M. Davis nnd City
Tieasurer O'Connor, of C.iibondale,
aro the others on the list for this
oiilce.
Recorder Fred W. Warnke Is slated
to get another nomination for that of
fice and is opposed only by ex-Coun-cllmnn
John H. Regan, of the Sixth
watd. Mr. Regan forced tho slate
makers to take him on for county
commissioner a year ago and feels con
fident of ngaln bieaklng In, but tho
fact that he was fouith man In tho
three-pilze race weakens nls chances
of lepeatlng his slate-bieaklng feat
Register William Koch, Jr., has no
opposition for re-nomlnatlon and be
cause of his good run three years ago
Is welcomed on the ticket, though the
men who ran with him on the former
occasion do not throw their hats high
In nir at tho suggestion that ho
strengthens the ticket generally.
As to Judge, sheriff and treasurer
theio Is nothing speculative. Hon.
John P. Kelly, Chnrles H. Schadt and
C. G. Boland, respectively, will have
these nominations unanimously given
them. The only semblance of specula
tion is found In the possibility that
things will bhape themselves that Mr.
Boland will be named for congress,
but, as explained above, this Is only
a faint possibility
RUSH FOR TAIL END.
Eleven candidates are out for jury
commissioner. They are: Andrew
Healey, of Dunmore; William Kane,
of the Seventh ward: M. E. O'Malley,
of the Sixteenth waid; Thomas Mc
Cnnn and Maurice Duggan, of the
Twentieth wnrd; ex-Jury Commission
er Thomas J Kelly, of the Nineteenth
waid Thomas Dacey, of the Eigh
teenth ward, and Andrew Gavin, of
Jermyn. Michael Grogan, of Olyphant,
and John Fljnn, of Archbald.
Ex-Mayor James J. O'Neill, ot Car
bondale, Is the slate-makers' choice
for chaliman of the convention and

Tho convention will be called to or

from each district voting more than
150 Democrats. Lackawanna town
ship, South district, nnd Seventh waul,
Third district, are the only one entitled
to two delegates.
The primaries on Saturday were ex
ceedingly tame, very few contests
being waged and a very small vote
being polled. Under the party rules the
delegates are required to register with
the secretary before 10 o'clock p. m.
on the day preceding tho convention.

HOUSES RAIDED
Police Swooped Down on Them Sat
urday Night Were tho Worst
Places in the City.
As a result of numerous complaints
receled by Mayor Moir of the disor
derly state of affairs in the 200 block
of Center street, n general raid was
made late Saturday night, and the
houses of Claia Welrhel at 213 Center
street- May Brown. 22-1, Charles Thiol,
210; Lll Henry, 218, and Mary Knad
ler, of 227, were visited, the lnmate.s
arrested nnd about $400 In fines col
lected yesterday morning In police
court
The vice in these places has been of
such an open nature and so thinly
concealed that Ills honor decided that
stops must be taken to root out the
evil or, at least, to teach tho tians
gressors n lesson, which will hold them
In check in the future.
Aceoidingly, nt 11 o'clock Saturday
night, tevernl squads of patrolmen,
undoi the dliectlon of Detective John
Molr, swept down noiselessly on tho
unsuspecting habituos of the homes
of vice, nnd the most fertile raid
which hns occurred In the last six
years, successfully can led out.
Chailes Thlel and Pauline Dals, of
210 Center street, were the most heav
ily fined, each yielding up $0. Clara
Welchel, proprleticss of the old drug
store was also fined $50. Lll Henry
was fined $25.
mong the crowd that gathered out
side the central police station, where
the pilsoners were taken, was Jacob
Gable. His curiosity gained control
of him to such nn extent that ho re
fused to move on tit Patrolman Kar
lus' request, and was nt last taken
Into the station He paid $3 to his
honor yesterday morning.
The arrest of Thlel was made
In a rather pecullir way. On the
house being raided, tho propiletor
could not be found, and after search
ing seeial minutes, all of the offi
cers loft the house. Thnt is. It ap
pealed ns it all of them quit the prem
Isps. A couple of minutes later Mr.
Thlel emerged from his place of con
cealment nnd proceeded to close the
shutters, when 'suddenly he felt a
giip on his shoulder, nnd Mounted
Officer Joseph Bloeh murmured to him
the gentle news that he was his priso
ner. Joe hnd suspected a ruse and
when the other officers left the house,
ho hid under n bod.
It has been customary In raids to
line men and women alike $5 apiece,
with the exception of the piopile
tresses. In this case, however, Mayor
Molr made an exception nnd imposed
$10 penalties on most of tho male of
fenders. DEATH WAS DUE TO
THE INTENSE HEAT
George E. Jenks, of Elmlra, N. Y.,
nn Engineer on the Lackawanna
Road, Overcome in This City.
Oeoige i: Jenks, of Klmlrn, N. Y.,
nn engineer on the Lackawanna rnll
ioad, came to this city on Satuulay
to see Superintendent of Motive Power
Lloyd, and while hete wns prostrated
by the heat and died a short time af
terward. Mr. Jenks arrived In the city early
In the day, hut could not see Mr.
Lloyd on account of that ofhclal's ab
sence from the city. Ho took by mis
take a train going out on tho South
ern division shortly nfter G o'clock,
and upon learning that he was going
the wiong way, requested to be put
off, which was done nt Ash street.
He wns noticed to walk a short dis
tance and was then seen to fall over
unconscious. The police patrol was
summoned and he was lemoved to
poliee headquarters and then to the
Lackawannna hospital, where he died
a few minutes after his arrival,
though every effort was made to
bring him back to consciousness, Tha
physicians said the cnuse of death was
heat prostration. The fact that he,
an. experienced engineer, took a train
going In an opposite direction fiom
his home, would lndlcnte that he was
temporarily unbalanced.
He was Identified by his railroad
piss found In the pockets of his
clothes. The body was removed to
Undertaker Price's morgue and tho
dead man's jelntlves In Elmlra wero
notified. One of theso urrlved In tho
city yesterday morning and took tho
remains home on the 1.55 tialn.
