HAYES NAMED
IN THE THIRD
INXEEESTINO CONVENTION
THE HIGH WORKS.
AT
Affairs of State Being Attended to
the Delegates Are Entertained with
a Dance Possibility of the Legal
ity of the Music Hall Convention
of Tuesday Being Contested in the
Dauphin County Courts Grounds
on Which the Proceedings Might
Be Instituted Political Notes.
At a straw-ride, convention and dnnco
ot the First legislative district Demo
crats, Inst night, Timothy D. Unyes, of
North Scranton was again placed In the
Held for representative. Mr. Hnycs was
unopposed.
The convention was held In Mul
herln's hall, on Kcyscr avenue, In the
Isolated locality, commonly known as
the High Works. Being two mites,
more or less, from the nearest street
car line, the delegates from the Jlydo
Park and Ucllevuc end of tho district
went thither on a straw ride, arranged
by the district chairman, John M.
Casey. The wagon left Fleming &
Costello'H cafe ut 7.30 and had aboaid
besides the delegates, District Secretary
John 13. Oaffney, Senatorial Candidate
T. R Calpln, J. R llnuuncs, and the
newspaper delegation.
Arrived at tho hall, the stiaw ride
delegation was greeted with enthusias
tic cheers from the N ' Scranton
delegates and nearly all tile icsldents
of tho community men, women and
children who were bent on jointly and
with all that was In them, making
memorable the occasion of tho Hist
political convention the locality had
eor known.
' From SAo until 10.30 tho men folks
occupied the hall with tho convention
doings. As soon as the convention was
ended the Indies came In with a piano
plnyer, and, until an early morning
hour, the younger folks of the con
vention and the community, gave over
thoughts of poor old Quay and the like
and bent themselves to enjoying the
delights of a devotee of terpslchorc.
The convention, proper, was an ordin
ary affair aside from its plethora of
eloquence. Mr. Hayes was nominated
by Prof. A. F. O'Boyle; the nomination
was seconded by Frank J. Johnson; the J
nominee made a speech of acceptance,
and Dennis Gannon, tho Demosthones
of the Gibraltar of Democracy, deliver
ed an oration that for power and elo
quence rivaled that with which he
placed Robert Emmet O'Boyle in nom
ination for county auditor, four years
ago In Music hall. All of these spoko
"at length," and In nddltlon there were
impromptu addresses by Candidates
Calpln, Mr. Hninmes, ox-Councilman
Joseph F. Kvnns and James J, Scoltt
Joseph F, Evans was made perman
ent chairman and W. A. Lynott and
Deputy Sheriff John 13. daffney, sec
retaries. The committee on resolutions
was composed of F. J. Johnson, Joseph
F. Kvnns, Michael Clarke, John P.
Mnhon and V. A. Lynott. Tho com
mittee on permanent organization was
Mlehoet F. Gibbons, P. F. Flynn, M. S.
Luvcllc, Henry Walsh and Nicholas
Burke. The lesolutlons denounced the
"venality" ot the Quay mnehlnej en
dorsed the resolutions of the Democratic1
county convention, and extended sym
pathy to the 'striking miners. They
were adopted with enthusiasm.
The report of tho committee on per
manent organization, recommending
Mr. Kvnns for chairman and Mr. Lynott
for secretary was heartily concurred In
by the retiring chairman nnd secretary,
It being desirable ns they themselves
suggested to have these officers from the
snme place ns the candidate.
There Is a possibility that an attack
will bo made on tho regularity of the
alleged Democratic county convention
held In Music hall, Tuesday. The lead
ers of the Flynn faction, who had a inn
joilty of tho delegates, and who were
denied ii voice or vote In the proceed
ings, were In conference with attor
neys yesterday and may, today, take
steps t have the proceedings of tho
Music hall convention annulled.
The fact that tho Flynn men were
forcibly prevented from entering the
convention hall until the other side had
gotten the convention machinery In mo
tion; 'the assumption of the chairman
ship and appointment of tho commit
tees by cx-ShcrirC Fahcy, and the
wholesale nnd irregular Institution of
fako contests and ousting of regularly
elected delegates allied with tho op
position gives the Flynn people ground
which they believe Is all sufficient to
overturn the Music hall pioceedlngs.
Should proceedings be Instituted they
will be tried out in Harrisburg, tho
statutes providing that all such liti
gation bearing on the legality of con
ventions at which federal, state or
county officials arc nominated shall bo
dealt with by the Dauphin county
court.
Should the Flynn people be success
ful In their contemplated contest, It
would put the Music hall nominees in
n. sorry plight. By the time the con
test would be decided It would likely
bo too late to call another convention,
and as a result the Democratic party
would have no place on the ballot, and
the Music hall nominees would have to
be content with a place among the in
dependents in one of tho last columns
on the ballot.
The Fahcy faction expected, yester
day, that Attorney Thomas V. Hoban
would unhesitatingly refuse to run on
the ticket nominated at Melvin hall,
but In this they were disappointed. Mr.
Hoban declined to discuss the question
of whether or not he would accept.
When formally notified of his nomina
tion ho will declare himself.

Tho Itldgownys lived In Benton town
ship, near the Susquehanna line, and
Itldgeway Is a well-to-do farmer and
cattle dealer. He sought a divorce on
the ground of cruel nnd barbarous
treatment. Mrs. Bldgeway denied the

Jury. Tho case was tried last spring,
and a disagreement of the Jury re
sulted. The case Is on the list this week for
Its second trial. Yesterday, tho parties

reached, by which the request for u
jury trial Is withdrawn by Mrs. Bldge
way. The case will now take the usual
course and be tried before a judge.

charge of Judge Edwards, the jury re

FASTEST BIHD ON WING,
Duck Hawks Have No Equal In Ely-
Ing,
Fioni tho Huston Herald.
I never feoc a duck hawk but that
my thoughts go back to tho times when,
this was tho most valued bird in tho
world tho fuvorlto of kings a gift for
an emperor, And well it deserved tho
high place which it held, for of tho
many birds used In the ancient sport
of falconry, the duck hawk or peregrlno
falcon was tho swiftest, tho most sav
age and tho most courageous of them
all. Tho sport Is now practlcolly ob
solete, but for thousands of vears It
was one of tho principal uinuseinents
of the better classes tluoughout Eu
rope ami Asia,
Nowhere did It take deeper root than
In England, where for centuries it whb
conducted 'on a grand scale and at
enormous expenbe. Some of tho no
bility kept falcons as raco horses are
kept toduy, regardless of cost, puy
lug fabulous prices for celebrated birds,
and maintaining large stuffs or skilled
falconers, Men carried falcons upon
their gloved wrists In those days us a
matter ot course, tftid thought no more
of It than they would of carrying wulk
Ing sticks today, and a lady going ever
so short a Journey would bo almost
suro tQ carry 11 hawk of some kind.
