Second District Convention.
Tho Democrats of the Third Legisla
tive district held a convention yostcrdny
afternoon at tho St, Chnrlcn hotel. Tho
complete list of tho Injured could not be
ascertained, us many wore hurried
away by their friends ut tho'nppronch
of the police. Tho most seriously in
jured wero:
WILLIAM BURKE, postmaster nt
Mlnooka; cut on temple and check lacer
ated, MICHAEL LYDDEN, Mlnooka; faco
cut and knuckles skinned.
M. J. O'TOOLE, Scranton; faco bruised
and eyo discolored.
JAMES NOLAN, Lackawanna; cut on
chin.
Tho convention was called to elect
two delegates to the stato convention
nt Erie, Juno 25. Tho warring Mlnooka
factions headed, respectively, by John
J. Coyne nnd Martin Judge each wanted
to got control of tho district, nnd when
thoy failed to settle tho matter accord
ing to tho rules nnd regulations of tho
Democratic party of tho Third Legis
lative district, the rules compiled and
edited by tho Illustrious Marquis of
Queensbury wero substituted. There
wero insinuations after adjournment
that even the substituted rules wero
violated.
DELEGATES MUST REGISTER.
Under the district rules all delegates
must register the day prior to tho con
vention and contests must bo filed be
fore 10 o'clock a. m. of convention day.
A lot of the Judge delegates arrived
at tho convention yesterday afternoon
bearing what seemed to bo duly attested
credentials, but, when these were pre
sented, Chairman W. W. Baylor found
it necessary to ignore them, as others
had registered from their districts in
due time and proper form", and 10 o'clock
a. m. having come and gone, it was too
lato to enter contests.
The scene that followed tho announce
ment of this ruling would not, If trans
ferred to canvas, bo hung among studies
of still life.
The 12x14 hotel sample room, in
which the convention was being con
ducted, was crowded from the walls to
the very edge of tho round tabic, in tho
center of the room, at which Chairman
Baylor and Secretary Edward Jordan
had their seats. Tho chairman's ruling
brought every man in tho room to his
feet and drew them into a compact
mas3 about the table.
Everybody started to talk at once.
Most of them contented themselves
with calling Mr. Baylor names, and ac
cusing him of trying "to run over the
people like n bull."
Martin Judge alleged that tho John
Coyne delegates' credentials from Lack
awanna wero forged. Mr. Coyne In
measured, deliberate terms called Mr.
Judge a liar.
WANTED ROLL CALLED.
What else passed between the two
was lost In the general tumult. Some
one kept yelling, "Call the roll!" Some
other one shouted vociferously, "Call
tho police!" A delegate declared that
such and such things were so and so
in the printed rules. A brother delegate
from the opposing faction said, "Shut
up, you fool; you can't read."
The first delegate protested that, how
somevcr, ho know tho rules.
Chairman Baylor sought to cxplnln
the rules governing the matter at Issue
and to expostulate that he was only
living up to the rules drafted by the
Democratic party. "Tho Democratic
party, hell!" camo in tones of disgust.
Ex-Representativo Frank R. Coyne,
of Old Forge, had presented one set of
credentials for himself nnd three others,
alleging tho borough was entitled to
this number. Chairman Baylor pro
tested that such was not the case. Pat
rick Mulherln, of Taylor, who sided
with tlio John Coyne faction, thought
to pour oil on tho troubled waters by
having tho convention allow all four
Old Forgo delegates to vote. Although
the John Coyne faction had tho control
of tho convention cinched by a vote ot
two to one, ho objected to granting spe
cial privileges to anyone and demanded
that the business Of the OnnvpiiHnn lio
proceeded with.
Hon. Frank R. Coyne nnd W. W.
Baylor wero nominated for chairman,
and Mr. Baylor received 20 vntnu. in n
for his opponent. In tho lull immedi
ately following tho announcement of
mo lany, Mr. Mulhcrln's motion to
make tho election unnnlmnim nnssnil
without opposition.
THEY PROTESTED.
The Judgo people and Hon, Frank R,
Coyne kept up n fusllndo of protests
and demands while Chairman Baylor
was rushing the routine business, nnd
when nominations for delegates had
been mndo they broko forth In another
clamorous cry for "Justice" and "fulr
play," and Mich like.
John J, Coyne, of Mlnooka, and Dr.
C, E. Richards, of Ransom, wero named
for delegates by tho John J. Coyne
people. W. P, Lltts, of North Abington,
and Martin McDonough, of Mlnooka,
wero named by Judgo delegntes.
As tho voto was being taken, and tho
names of tho John Coyno delegates
fiom Lackawanna were reached, tho
Judgo men, who claimed thoy had been
crowded out by tho Coyne men, raised
their voices again in angry protests,
nnd finally Hon, Frank R. Coyne headed
for tho door, calling out:' "Como on.
Let's havo a convention of regularly
elected delegates."
There wus a very general movement
for tho door. John Coyno bow one of
his men being carried along In tho
bolting crowd and elbowing his portly
person Into tho middle of tho crush .
What occurred then will bo told In
detail, probably, when tho cuses come
to trial. After it was' all over there
wero nine men wiping blood from their
faces nnd only one of them was a mem
ber ot the John Coyno faction, This
Coyne man explained that he was
struck whllo trying to save John Coyno
from being assaulted,
O'TOOLE ASSAULTED.
M. J, O'Toolo was crowded Into a
corner near the door by tho scrambling
crowd, and after tho ineleo had sub
sided, emerged directly in the pathway
of tho leader of the Coyne faction and
his not-unrutlled temper. O'Toole has
been wont to write things In the Scrun
tonlan about Coyne, and memory of
this likely came to Coyno at this mo-1
ment. At nil events, ho began pum
mcllng O'Toole, and was only restrained
by the Interference ot half a dozen spec
tators. Just then Patrolmen David Parry and
Tom F.vnns arrived, Everybody,. wonted
them to arrest everybody else, but the
ofllccrs had not seen uny of the nllcged
breaches of tho pence, nnd declined to
mnko any nrrcsts without warrants,
O'Toolo hud a warrant Issued for Coyne,
charging hint with nggravatcd assault
and buttery. Ho waived a hearing be
fore Alderman Millar and entered bait
In tho sum of $500.
When the smoke of the battle hnd
cleared away, tho call of tho toll was
proceeded with, and at Its conclusion
AFslstant Secretaries William Boyco
and Vincent Dougherty reported that
Coyne and Richards had received 21
votes nplcce, as ngalnst three each for
Lltts and McDonough.
During a lull, a brief lull, or whnt,
comparatively speaking, might bo called
a brief lull, Just before nominations
were mndo for delegates, a resolution,
presented by John J. Coyno, was adopt
ed, Instructing tho delegates to vote Tor
Robert E. Pnttlson for candidate for
governor.
As Chairman Buylor was retiring
from tho hotel ho encountered Hon.
John P. Qulnnan on the porch, nnd tho
squabbling was renewed. "Bluffer,"
"Crook," "Damn big buttermilk duffer,"
"Trnltor," "Liar," nnd a fow other Ilka
appellations wero addressed by one to
tho other.
Tho Judgo people dispersed without
holding a second convention.
Second District Convention.
The Second district Democrats hud a
convention at tho St. Charles In tho
evening, which was exceedingly tnme.
There wasn't a single, solitary division
on any question, nnd everything was
done unanimously and by acclamation.
Joseph O'Brien, Sheriff C. II. Schadt,
ex-Sherlft John J. Fnhey and John Gib
bons wero elected delegates, and P. J.
Honan, Select Councilman T. C. Mel
vin, Alderman M. J. Ruddy and Thomas
A. Donahoe, alternates.
Colonel F. J. Fitzslmmons was nomi
nated for delegate and James Fleming
for alternate, but their names wero
withdrawn to avoid the necessity of a
ballot.
A resolution Instructing the delegates
to voto for Pnttlson for governor was
presented by Attorney David J. Reedy
und unanimously adopted. r
Tho convention was presided over by
J. F. Hammcs and ho was re-elected
permanent chairman. Attorney John M.
Corbott was chosen sccrotury, and D. J.
Campbell und D. J. Reedy, tellers. Mr.
Campbell was nominated for chairman,
but declined.
Thero wero only two contests. Mar
tin Ferguson and Andrew O'Hara
claimed election from tho First district
of the Thirteenth ward. Morgan Swee
ney and Jefferson Cleary wero rival
claimants for the spat from the First
district of tlio Twelfth ward. Tho com
mittee on credentials, D. J. Roche, Mark
Caddcn and Charles Conrad, decided in
favor of Messrs. Ferguson and Sweeney,
and their decision was concurred in
without discussion.
A number of tho prominent Demo
crats of tho district wero present as

SHOOTING HAS
BEENSTARTED
SHERIFF SCHADT CALLED TO
LACKAWANNA.

lieryColonel Keck Injured in an
Assault Mndo on Deputies at PHts
ton Mlno Carpenters Stoned by a
Crowd at Cnrbondalc Statement
from President Nicholls Anent Ex
pected Intervention of President.
Shooting occurred yesterday for tho
(list time In this county In connection
with the strike.
A gang of Wllkes-Barre civil engi
neers who aro working nt the William
A. colliery of tho Lehigh Vulley Coal
company at Lackawanna, wore set
upon by a mob of two hundred strikers,
mostly Italians, ns they wero leaving
the mine at tho close of their day's
work. Tho engineers fled towards
Duryea, pursued by tho mob, the fugi
tives and pursuers exchanging shots
from revolvers. Tho engineers reached
a trolley car in safety and wero
whisked away before tho crowd could
overtake them.
Tho mob returned to tho colliery and
began to hnrrass the watchmen. Sher
iff Schadt hud been telephoned to at
tho first signs of trouble and arrived on
tho scene as tho mob was opening flro
on the colliery. The Sheriff's approach
caused a cessation of the shooting and
with a plain, buslncss-llkc talk to the
crowd he succeeded In inducing them
to quietly disperse. The sheriff went to
tho scene unaccompanied, but had a
posse assembled which could havo boon
brought up in short order If they were
needed.
William Scott, a special ofllccr em
ployed as a watchman at the William
A. colliery at Lackawanna, while on
his way to work lato last night, was
set upon by a crowd which camo out
of a Polish saloon at Duryea, and so
badly beaten that the doctor who was
called to attend him had him sent im
mediately to tho Wilkcs-Barro hospi
tal. Tho poisons who summoned the
doctor had difficulty in Inducing his
assailants to permit the doctor to give
him treatemont.
OUTBREAK AT PITTSTON.
An outbreak occurred at No. 10 col
liery of tho Erie company, at Pittston
last evening, in which Colonel Keck, of
this city, one of the deputies, was
gashed in tho faco by a stone thrown
by a woman.
When tho deputies, who were on the
night shift, arrived on tho train at the
mine, they wero mot by a large crowd,
composed mostly of women, who jerred
and hissed them. The crowd formed in
lino directly in front of tho deputies
and tho latter wore compelled to use
their rifles as bars to shove the crowd
aside and get inside tho fence at tho
mine. It was at this time one of the
women threw the stone that struck
Colonel Keck.
Piesident J. L. Cake, of tho Clear
Spring Coal company, has served no
tice on Burgess Foster, of West Pitts
ton, demanding that ho protect tlio
company's property from unlawful acts
of violence that aio taking place. The
burgess says that as far as he knows
no nets of violence have taken place,
and ho is prepared to do all In his pow
er to prevent any.
Tho efligy artist was at work again
in Pittston and the big brick smoke
stack near tlio ferry bridge was con
spicuously decorated with four images
of men who are continuing at work or
are acting as deputies. Each efligy
was nalle'd to tho bricks about forty
foot up the stack and bore the name of
the person it represented. Tho strikers
at Exeter borough have adopted a. new
method of holding the non-union men
up to ridicule. A largo bed shoot has
been inscribed with a list of names und
flung to tho breeze' from telephone
whes.
TROUBLE AT CARBONDALE.
Tho first real disturbance of a violent
nature that has occurred in Carbondulo
since the inception of the strike took
place last evening, when a mob of boys
and women stoned and hooted tho car
penters employed on tho construction
of the now Northwest breaker, above
Simpson.
The workmen wore returning from
the scene of their lubors, when they in
curred the displeasure of tho crowd by
some facetious remarks. They wero im
mediately beset and had to flee precipi
tately. Foreman Connolly arrived on tho
scene at tills time and through his
pacific efforts tho women and boys con
sented not to molest the workmen
further. Several were Injured slightly
by the missiles.
At strike headquarters, yesterday, tho
only change in tho situation reported
was the quilting of ten more engineers
in tho Pittston region. Tho operators
had nothing to give out except that tho
engines, pumps and bollois arc fully
manned, and there Is absolutely no
probability of tho pumping operations
being seriously hampered.
The strikers, in direct contrast with
tho operators, vlow with friendly eyes
tho evident Intention of President
Roosevelt to actively Interfere In tho
strike conflict. District President Nich
olls, discussing this matter, yesterday,
said:
"I am glad that tho president has
