Resolution Unanimously Adopted Bet Forth That Colonel Watres In an Eminent Degree Possesses the Qualities Which the People Have a Bight'to Expect in Their Stand ard Bearers To Use All Honor able Means to Securo the Nomina tion of Their Favorite Endorse ment of Bnr. Despite the fact that the weather wus uninviting to a larRo attendance at-a theatre, u'boocI sized crowd', not les3 than eight' hundred, assembled at the Lyceum, last night, In mass meet ing to endorse the candidacy of For mer Lieutenant Governor L. A, Watres for governor. Hon. Joseph A. Scrnnton was chair man and the speakers were Former Recorder . James Molr, Hon, John U. Farr, Hon. John E. Barrett, A. J. Col born, and Major Everett Warren. Hew Dr. James McLeod was also on the platform. Mr. Scranton opened the meeting with an Interesting review of the achieve ments of Lackawanna's successful sons and the part the county ha3 played In state and national politics. He then went on to' say: 1 fool that you have come hero tonight to learn of Colonel Watres' chances. You rue a 11 for him, everybody in Northeast ern Pennsylvania Is for him. But tha delegates In convention nro to name tho candidate. I risk my reputation as a prophet In predicting that they will name Watres! There are only threo candidates, any one knows of, to come before the conven tion for the oflico of governor, Mr. F.lkln, Colonel AVatres and Judge Pennypackcr. Mr. KIktn will not be nominated, becauso the- things ho stands for will not meet tho approval of a majority of the conven tion. It must then bo Pennypackcr or AVatres.; The whole stnto knows what AVatres' candidacy stands for. Judge Pen nypackcr has thus far failed to define his position. He,- evidently relics upon Sen ator Quay to hand him the nomination. , AV11I he do it? Can Jic do It? ' Between Quay's domination and ElUln's combination, stands AVatres, non-factlon-!, whoso candidacy is not unacceptable to both of these wings of the party and whoso success It may bo even Elkin might prefer to that of Pcnnypncker. Should the Elkln people so declare after fully realizing their own defeat, would Quay invite a clash with the unknown Pennypackcr against the field? Would he not rather withdraw Ponnypacker and glvo tho stampede to AVatres. who may thus win tho nomination without a dis senting vote! For the Elkln men and the Pennypackcr men all say that Colonel AVatres can be elected, hands clown! I believe lie is tho coming man! AVo will go to ITarrlsburg with our banners flying, we will lower our crest to no man, vp will remember that he is thrico armed 'whoso cause Is just. And we' will return after tho convention with our banners aloft and on them will ho inscribed tho Republican nomlncn for governor. Larry Arthur Watres, the next governor of Pennsylvania. THE RESOLUTIONS. AVlth a few prefatory remarks, Mr. Molr presented the following resolu tions: Whereas, The Republicans of Lacka wanna county, mindful of the vital Issues of this year's political campaign in Penn sylvania, and of tho great importance of nominating a candlndto for governor whose integrity, ability, experience, party fealty and freedom from factional en tanglements give assurance of success at the polls, and being thoroughly con vinced that tho nomination of Colonel l.ouls Arthur Watres would dispel doubt, Inspire confidence, allay dissensions and make success certain, and AA'hcrcas, Colonel Watres possesses In nn eminent degree tho qualities which tho people have a right to expect in their standard bearers and governors, a record lieyond reproach, faith In high principles, and an abiding belief in the rule of tho majority through pure primaries and hon est elections, and AVhereas, AVo are familiar with the sterling worth of Colonel AVatres from boyhood and with his stainless record In trusted positions, at homo and at Harris burg. Therefore, bo It Resolved, That In tho candidacy of Col onel AVatres for governor the Republicans of Lackawanna county offer to tfm Re publican party of Pennsylvania at this juncturo tho surest guarantee of victory Jn tho coming state, congressional, legis lative and county elections. Resolved. That tho Republicans of Lack nwaijna county, In muss meeting assem bled, pledge themselves to use all honor able means for tho nomination of Col onel AVatres as tho Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, confident that his nomination would unite the party rind lead It to an overwhelming victory at the polls. , Resolved, That In tho nomination nnd election of Colonel AVatres the Republican party would give tho Keystone stnto a governor whoso administration would sub Boryo justice, safeguard and keep invio late tho state constitution, and uphold tho lionorof tho commonwealth. Resolved, That we regard with special satisfaction tho unanimous declaration of the delegates and alternates chosen to represent Lackawanna county that they will stand unfalteringly by Colnnol AVa tres at tho state convention and carry out with zeal and fidelity tho earnest purpose of this community In tho effort to securo Ills nomination, AVo urgo upon tho mom bcrs of tho state commmlttco similar earnestness and devotion to his cnndldacy to tho end that tho Republican sentiment of this section may bo fully oxerclsed anil expressed In his bohalf. Resolved, That In accordance with tho declared purposo of Colonel L, A, AVatres, In announcing his candidacy to tho entire party nnd not to any faction thereof, wo rordlally Invite tho Republicans of Penn sylvania to rally, to his standard, as that of tho only non-factional candidate for Bovcrnor now In tho flold, fully confident that his nomination would Insure Repuh. Ilcan unity and place Republican victory beyond tho possibility of doubt at tho polls, PRAISE UNNECESSARY, Mr, Molr said It wus wholly unnee. essary In this city to pralso or com mend Colonel AVatres for wo all know nlm and the sterling iualltles that have Avon, success for him In life. Col onel Watres lias a laudable ambition to bo governor, the speaker said, and wo are hero to endorse his asplrutlous snu to say (o the people of the state that we not only endorse his candidacy but commend him to their considera tion. "Colonel Watres believes In law and order," continued the speaker, "His tltlo Indicates that for It means that be Is a commander of a regiment of the state troop, which are organized lot tq oppress laboring men, as some eem to believe, but to protect the life tnd property of rich and poor alike, to prevent anarchy from dolng Its fell Work. I am satisfied that If Colonel IVafres is elected governor, and I be lieve he will be, he will be glad to urge Ihe passage of laws that will put an nd to the clashes between capital and I '-' -"" .. - -'V fi5,i.ifetliii,-)ntftMrr1iYMfffilri'-- iMifj,i, labor we so frequently witness In this state." Tim resolutions were then put by Chnlrmnn Scranton nnd enthusiastic ally adopted, Hon. John It. Farr was the nest speaker. Ho was gratified to see such a largo audience, he said, because It showed esteem for Lackawanna's can didate for governbr and Interest In politics. The good American citizen Is tho ncllve citizen who goes to the pri maries and casts his ballot. The boss exists through the apathy of tho Amerlcnn citizen and the evils that now exist In this stale were Wrought by tho people submissively allowing the men whom they, placed In power to become their masters. Mr. Farr said that In Mr. AA'atros they have a can didate who would do nothing to In fringe on tho rights of the people, and also a man who Is tho peer of any man seeking tho office. His experience as senator and lieutenant governor emi nently lit him for the ofllce of gov ernor. MAJORITIES DECREASING. Continuing, Mr. Farr called attention to the diminishing majorities In Penn sylvania and attributed this to the con dition of nffnlrs at Harrlsburg. It Is time for tho people to awaken, he said, and rally around the standard of a man of merit, nblllty and experience of Colonel AVatres, a man who Is opposed to "rippers" and "franchise grabs," No laboring men need hesitate to sup port Colonel Watres, the speaker de clared. AVatres Is a laboring man. Labor Interests need have nothing to fear from a man who started life as a slateplcker. Elect Watres nnd congress will be. saved to the Republicans. AVutres will unify and harmonize the party In Pennsylvania. Elect AVatres and you will have an able, dignified, clean, honest state administration, Editor Barrett, of the Truth, dis cussed tho three gubernatorial candi dates and what they stand for. Elkln, he declared, represented only himself and the Stone administration. There is a "fair play" plank In his platform, but he Is hardly In n position to make this a prominent feature of his campaign. The people are likely to remember that he was not very ready to grant fair play at the time of the "ripper" nnd "midnight franchise" legislation. He had a chance to halt those Iniquitous measures, but failed to take advantage of It. He has no particular claim on the people for fair play. Pennypncker, ns far ns anyone has yet been Informed, stands only for him self and his discoverer, Senator Quay, that great explorer nnd finder of men. AVatres announces a platform. He Is for uniform primaries and honest elec tions. He wants to do away with the system of having the primaries of one county one day and those of another the next, which permit of the state bosses massing their workers at a par ticular place and corruptly throttling the will of the people. AVatres stands for the people, and if you elect him you will add a new lustre to the grand old commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A. J. COLBORN'S REMARKS. A. J. Colborn.'ln an eloquent address, extolled the merits of Colonel AVatres and stated that In his tours of the stnte he found that ninety per cent, of a fraternal organization, of which he Is tho head, was for AVatres for governor. He further declared that AVatres was a man of destiny chosen to lead the commonwealth of Pennsylvania to true statesmanship. Major Warren declared the belief that whoever was nominated next AVed nesday would bo elected, and inciden tally paid a high tribute to the worth, honesty and Integrity of Attorney Gen eral Elkin He averred that Colonel AVatres stands as tho peer of any citizen with in tho borders of the Commonwealth, and that Lackawanna county honors it self In supporting him as a candidate for tho ofTlce of governor. Quay would not tie up to Elkln, Ma jor Warren claimed, because ho be lieved Elkins' candidacy would endan ger the Republican majority In the state and national legislatures. When Watres was a candidate for lieutenant-governor. Major Warren re lated, the New York Times, then a Democratic paper, came out with a big head line over Its pre-conventlon re port reading "Pa AA'ants AVatres," which was supposedly founded on a re mark which "Dick" Quay was alleged to have made on the street. "If I mis take not," said Major Warren, "Pa will want AVatres again next AA'ednes day," A witty piny on the "Waters' Cure" for Pennsylvania caused the major's speech to end In n hearty burst of laughter and applause. Major AVarren presented to the meet ing an endorsement of Colonel AVatres' candidacy, signed by lis members of tho Lackawanna bar, representing all shades of political and religious beliefs. Between the speeches selections were rendered by Bauer's band and the North End glee club. NOT TO REMOVE GRAIN TAX. London, June 3.

Dr. Willson Testified That the Pistol from Which the Ball That Struck McAullffe Came Must Have Been Held Pointed Toward the Ground at an Angle of Forty-five Degrees, Dr. Conncll Says the Angle Was Sixty Degrees Cases Heard Be fore Judge Newcomb. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon a jury had been secured In tho Cosgrove murder case but not until after the reg ular panel had been exhausted nnd twenty talesman summoned, The four Jurors selected yesterdny were Thomas AValkey, harnessmaker, Scranton; Thomns R. Jones, miner, Scranton; M. J. Kearney, driver boss, Archbald; AV. J. Stephens, farmer, North Ablngton. The case of tho commonwealth was opened to the Jury by Attorney R. J. Murray Immediately after the jury was secured. County Surveyor M. P. Mit chell was the first witness put on the stand nnd identified drawings that he made of the Interior nnd exterior of the Moran saloon on Luzerne street where Daniel McAullffe was shot and fatally Injured. Dr. Arthur J. AVIllson testified that he was assistant house surgeon at the Lackawanna hospital on Dec. 0, 1901, when Daniel McAullffe wns received at that Institution suffering from a gun shot wound In the left leg below the knee. The bullet struck the outside of the leg and passed almost through the leg nt a downward angle of 45 degrees, striking and splintering the fibula In Its course. The bullet lodged about an Inch be low the skin on the Inside of the leg, the point of lodgement being from three and one-half to four Inches low er than the point of entry. The leg was swollen from knee to ankle but by means of the X-ray tho bullet was located and It was also discovered that the fibula bone was splintered. Mc Aullffe's breath and condition Indicated that he had been drinking. Dr. AVIllson cut In and removed the bullet. On Dec. 11 there were signs of gangrene and Dr. A. J. Connell, chief surgeon of the hospital staff, opened the wound, scraped away the grangrenous tissue, took n piece of the splintered bono out and redressed the wound. The next day the gangrene was so pronounced that It was decided to am putate the leg. Dr. Connell had been called from the city and Dr. Reed Burns performed the operation. Mc Aullffe continued to grow worse after the operation and died on Dec. 18. The doctor gave It as his opinion that a gun shot wound was the predisposing cause of McAuIiffe's death. On cross examination Major AVarren laid great stress on the fact .that the ball which wounded McAullffe must have been held at what Dr. AVIllson described as pointing toward the ground at an angle of 43 degrees provided that McAullffe was standing up at tho time. Dr. A. J. -Connell, who followed Dr. AVillson gave It as his opinion that the revolver must have been held at an angle of sixty degrees. His testimony concerning McAullffe and his condition was practically the same as Dr. AA'ill son's. Court adjourned after Dr. Con nell's examination wns concluded. The defense Is bringing out the angle at which the pistol was held pointing toward the ground to disprove the the ory of the crowd that Cosgrove and the men with him fired point blank Into the crowd. Before Judge Newcomb. The jury In tho case of John 'Puffy, which went out Monday to deliberate, returned n verdict of not guilty yes terday and placed the costs on the county. Henry Price, colored, was convicted of aggravated assault and battery In connection with nn nttempt he made to kill Laura Paine, while In Raymond court on March 17 last, when he sloshed her In terrible fashion with a razor about the arms and hands and was In the act of sloshing her across tho neck when he was Interfered with. The wo man went on the stand and swore that Price did not assault her or Out her, but fortunately there were other wit nesses to the affray, and Price did not escape as the woman Intended ho should.
