Gathering Material.
The companies, through their local
supcilntendents.iind themlneis, thiough
the ofllcers of their union, nro hard at
woik gathering material for tho state

After the colnmlssioneis compaie the

The flc big coal companies, liaing
their headqu.ii teis in Sct.mtdn, are
now getting out more than seventy-five
per cent, ot their normal output. The
output foi Monday was 05,000 tons
which Is onlv 23,000 tons les than what
is oidinaiily ptoduced. The following

eeiy colliery in the valley excepting
the Hallstencl 'and ltlchmond No. 3,
which is being repaired, will h.ne

.ind that piacticilly all the old hands
will be back in their pl-ices. It will

All the companies will attempt to
woik their collleiics today, though it Is
likely few, if any, places can be oper
ated, because of the deteimination of
thu men to take a day off to celebi.ite
Mitchell clay, the anniversary of the
ending of the WOO stilke. The com

Dlfatiiot Piesldent Nicholls, ot tho Unit

notice of It, he said, tliiough the action
of the Slmmokln convention, two yearn

Tho fact that the mines should be

LOOKING FOR JOHN NEALON.
Sisteis in Colorado Wnnt to FJnd
a. Missing Biother,
Postmaster Ripple Is In receipt of a
letter fiom Mrs, R. V,. Sloran of Gieeley,
C'oloiado, asking him to aid her In ie
uniting her family.
Of her father she knows nothing ex
cept that his name was John Ncalon.
When she was two years of age apd
her brother and sister one and two
years, respectively, her senior they were
left alone by the death of their mother
and became sepaiatcd. Five yeais ago

means of letters to postmasters and
newspaper advertisements she located
her sister. For five years, the- two sis
ters have been trying to And their
brothei.
Recently they lent tied that their
father at one time had 1 datives In
Scranton and In the hope of finding
them and thiough them some trace of
their brother, tho sisters wrote to Post
master Ripple.
The wilier states that her nitilden
name was Blanche Nealon; her sister's
name, Dora Nealon, and the name of
her brother John Nealon.
If anyone can give any of the de
slied iufounation Postmaster Ripple
will forwaid It to the Colottido rela
tives, POLITICAL GOSSIP.
The apathy that was a featuie of
U1I3 campaign up to ten dajs ago has
given place to a spirit and enthusiasm
among the Republican oteis and work
ers of the county that is a sure Index
of the victory that will be vton next
Tuesday.
In no campaign of lecent jeais has
theie been such harmony and such
earnest, steadfast work upon the part
of all kinds and conditions of Repub
licans as In this one. It augurs well
not only for success in the present bat
tle but for tho success of Republican
ism In the future that such Is the case.
Lackawanna county, as It ought to be,
is safely Republican If Republicans
but do their duty. Eveiy member of
the pai ty ought not only vote, but see
to it that his neighbor otes. A case
which illustrates the necessity of eveiy
Republican exeiclslng the light that
desohes upon him as a citizen is fur
nished by the election of a county con
tiollpr last fall. Over 31,000 otes were
cast for that office and the plurality of
the successful candidate, E. A. Jones,
was but eleven votes. Let no man
say "my ote won't make arty differ
ence." It will make a diffeiencc, for
this county has had elections in which
one ote vvould have changed the icsult
for an office.
Theie will be a meeting of the
general Republican county committee
on Saturday at which the final plans
for Tuesday's battle will be discussed.
The icports that County Chairman H.
L Taylor has had from his committee
indicated that the people of the county
aie now fully alhe to the impoitance
of this election and that they nre de
termined to send Hon. AVillium Connell
back to congress and elect viith him
the whole Republican ticket.
The Instructions that eery com
mittee man will lecehe will be "got
eveiy Republican to ote" That ac
complished theie is no question about
the lesult.
Last night theie was a meeting
maiked by great enthusiasm at Peters
buig wiieie the local candidates met
the -oteis of that pait of the city and
made shoit addi esses. They weie ac
companied by County Chaiiman Taylor
and Frank Becker of the exeeuthe
committee. The speeches were of an
lnfoimal natuie and weie cageily
listened to. As the meeting adjourned
three rousing cheers w ere given for
the entire Republican ticket and the
candidates were assured that the Tenth
war will send In tidings Tuesday night
that will gladden the he.tit of eveiy
tiue Republican.
Jeie Snder, who won such faoi heie
as a political oiator duiing the last
presidential campaign, will be heaid
again tonight at Dymond's hall, Moosle,

Oct. 27, 1902
The Scianton Tribune, Scranton, Pa.
Gentlemen; 1 wits agreeably surprised
on learning that I was so fortunate ns
to secure second place In tho Educational
Contest. It has always been the height
of mv ambition to get an education, and
e-pecially so since leaving school, three
j ears ago, to go to woik, made necessary
by force of circumstances; but have made
best of my opportunity in the meantime,
studying considerable at night, hoping
that the way mltjht some time offer for
mo to add to my education thiough a
college.
Now that my deslie is about to bp
realized, I can scarcely beliec that it Is
true. Tho Tribune has opened the wnv
for mo to get that education, and I shall
ende-uor to enter college next fall.
Tho Tribune should certainly bo com
mended for the-o peiiodical contests, for
many a oung man gets an education
through them that could do o In no
other way I believe that is so In my
case.
Now, while I hao been eiy fortunate
in seeming the seholaishlp I had In
view, yet, had I finished fuilher down
the list and not won one of tho prepara
tory or university scholai ships, I. should
hae tried again In nnother contest,
if the opportunitj hould affoid I shall
be veiv happy if eoiy ono of my con
test friends leceho the particular choI
aisliip they mav hae looked forward to;
but if thev do not. thev should icmeniber
that In .a contest of this kind somo must
necessaiilv meet disappointment, and
that, "If at flist -sou don't succeed, try,
ti v again "
Mi. Kelleiman, having made his choice
ot tho scholniOiipfc, I am delighted to se
lect tho Wllllamspoit Dlcklnon Semlnaiy
as mv choice, which I now do, consider
ing it best adapted to my wants. I wish
Sir. Kellerman nnd the lest of the con
testants ecry success possible, and most
healthy thank Tho Tribune for the
special contest prize and the aboo sehol
aishlp. I am ceitalnly ono of the two

SHOT AT BY
ANGRY MOTHER
ALMOST A TRAGEDY IN ALDER
MAN RUDDY'S OFFICE.
Mis. Declan Kenealy Shot Point
Blank nt Thoma3 Downs, a Mar
ried Man, Who Had Been Arrested
on n. Charge of Criminally Assault
ing Her 17-Yeai-01d Daughter.
Bullet Narrowly Missed Him She
Was Disarmed Befoie, Sho Could
Fire a. Second Shot.
A mother's anger over nil alleged as
sault on her 17-year-old daughter, ic
suttcd In nn attempted murder In Aldtr
ninn M. J. Ruddy's offlce yesterday
afternoon, nnd but for tho ptompt ac
tion of Constable J. M. Sheffield, a
much different stoiy might have to be
told.
A shot from a revolver In tho hnnd
of Mrs. Declan Kenealy Justgras'cd
Thomas Downs' head, and lodged in the
wall beside him. As tho woman was
raising her aim for a second shot, Shot
field caught hold of her and wrenched
tho weapon from her hand.
The shooting was the outcome of nn
alleged criminal assault by Downs on
Johannah, the 17-ycar-old daughter of
Mr. and Mis. Kenealy. Downs resides
with his wife on Irving avenue, in
South Scranton, and left his home on
Monday morning to look after some
coal he had picked.
He says he passed by the Kenealy
homo nnd spoke to tho members of tho
family, nnd shortly aftei wards the girl
came along the road In the direction In
which Downs was gojng, nnd asked him
if he would show her where to obtain
Eome empty cans to use as flower pots,
Downs Accused.
Downs s.iys he pointed out a place to
her, and did not notice her again until
he was returning home. Later In tho
day SI13. Kenealy went to tho Downs
home and told Mts. Downs that tho
glil accused Downs of committing an
assault on her.
When Downs lotuined home his wife
asked him about what had happened
and he denied the accusation, nnd
offered to call in a physician to ex
amine the girl. In the evening Slis. W.
B. Duggan, of the Associated Board of
Charities, was informed of the circum
stances. She went to the Kenealy home, and
learned from the patents that the girl
is weak-minded, and advised them to
diop the matter, and send the girl to
tho Hillside Home. It was apparent to
her, however, that the patents were
considerably wrought up over the al
leged assault and believed the girl's
stoi y.
The father went befoie Alderman
Ruddy and had a warrant issued for
Downs' airest on the charge of cilmin
ally assaulting the girl. Tho wnriant
was sened, and the healing arranged
for yesterday afternoon.
Roth patties to tho suit weie seated
in the alderman's office waiting for him
to ictum from luncheon, when tho
shooting occurred. Downs was sitting
between the door leading to the alder
man's pihate oflice and a tailing,
which sepai ates the spectatots from
the witnesses at healings.
Shot at Downs.
Directly back or him at his wife, and
a few feet fuilher back Mis. Kenealy
sat. On the opposite side of the aisle
oat the girl and her father. Slis Downs
arose fiom whete she was sitting and
ciossecl over to the other side of tho
room and took anothei seat In ftont of
Sir. Kenealy.
This left an open space between Sirs.
Kenealy and Downs, only a chair and
the i ailing separating them. As soon
ns Mis, Downs changed her seat, Sits.
Kenealy spiang to her feet, and walk
ing a tew steps towards Downs, diew
a 32-callbie levolver fiom her bieast,
and fliecl point-blank at him.
During all this, not a word was
spoken on either side, but when the
shot rang out, everything was in an
