The Shaping of the Citizens Party
Ticket.
BOROUGII AND WARD CANDIDATES
Unusual Lack of Interest In the Approach
ing Election Display by People of the
Fourth Wardwjjb Ofiiolal An
nouncement of the Citizens
Candidates There.
At 7:30 o'clock te-aUfiit the time within
which people who intend to be candidates
on the Oitlsens tloket at the election to be
held next month matt comply with the
rules of the Standing Ootnmitteo will expire.
The committee will meet at the Herald
office to-night to receive final nominations
and prepare the forms of tickets to be used
at the primaries in the respective wards.
There are quite a string of candidates for
the nominations, yet there is plenty of room
left. Thus far there is not a candidate
announced for Judge or Inspector of Election
in any of tho wards. The number of candi
dates for Chiof Burgees remains at six and it
is not likely that It will be increased. The
candidates are John Dando, C. U. Hagenbuch,
Pierce Walker, Wolf Lovlne, Alex. Davis
and C. G. Palmer. The aspirations for
Receiver of Taxes are. net as proneunced as
they have been, Councilman A. D. Gable
being the only man In tho field, and it is not
likely that ho will have any opposition so far
as the nomination is concerned.
Tho ward tickets are slow in congealing
and unless more activity develops by the
appointed hour to-night the committee will
have a number of vacancies to fill on the
tickets, Thus far there is but one oandldate
on tho Citizens tieket in the First ward. Ho
is Charles E. Smith, who has announced him
self as a candidate for. School Director. No
one has thus far displayed the hardihood to
buck the tiger for Council In that ward, and
it looks as if the emulators of Tammany Hall
will have a quiot walk over after they get
through drubbing eaofa other.
Thus far there is but one candidate before
tho Standing Committee for Council in the
Second ward, and that is M. L. Shoemaker.
Councilman Charles Sehoppe has been an
nounced as a candidate to succeed himself,
but tho committee has not been notified of
the candldaoy. It may bo an oversight, but
unless some steps are taken before the time
limit to-night there will only bo one
candidate fur Council in that ward.
It is quite likely, however, that
Mr. Schoppo will bo heard from in due timo.
There is not sucli a scarcity of candidates for
School Director in this ward, Marshal
Baugh being a candidate to succeed himself
and Israel Elsenhower and Harry Keipor
being in the field, with tho shadows of at
least two moro in the horizon. But thero
must bo two nominations for School Board
in this ward and an Increase in tho number
of candidates will not creato criticism. Ono
of tho leading political topics in connection
with the politics of tills ward is tho question
as to whethor School Director Ogden will be
a candidate to succeed himself.
In the Third ward tho main contest is on
the School Directorship. Thus far the can
didates before the committee' are Thomas
Dove, Jr., John F. Schaofler, H. C. Boyerand
Geo. L. Hafticr, and, possibly, Daniel Sterner
will bo in tho field. Thus far Councilman
C. T. 8traughn is tho only candidate to suc
ceed himself.
The Fourth ward is apparently asleep, as
no candidates for School Director, or Counoil,
havo made their appearance. . It is as good as
a cortalnty, however, that School Director
David Morgan will be a candidate to succeed
himself and Harry Reese is mentioned fr
Council.
It was reported to-day that Arthur Wbom
sley would bo a oandldate for Council in the
Fourth ward.
In the Fifth ward there is a sufficiency of
candidates for Couucil. Charles F. Hoffman,
Frank Bock, George Naugunas aud Thomas
Paulukonis are out for Council. School
Director John T. Lee is the only officially
announced candidate for School Board, but
there are a dozen on the fence. It is qui to
likely, however, that they will get down and
leave the field to Mr. Leo. At all events
nono of them havo sent their names te the
committee.
There is but ono candidate for Borough
Justice before tho committee, W. H. Shoe
makor, but it is quite likely that T. T.
Williams will also bo in tho field. During
the past few days there has been in circula
tion a report that Judge Bechtelhas state!
that tho election of Borough Justices this
Spring will be a wasto of time. Novorthe
lcss it is a matter of record that Judge Persh
ing refused to grant the writ of ouster
against the present Borough Justices, on the
ground that he preferred that the peoplo of
oueuandoah should decide at the com
ing election who should fill tho posi
tion. Thus the questions presented are these:
Has Judge Bechtel's opiulon more weight
than Judge Pershing's decision, wbieh is a
matter of record ? If what Judge Peishiug
declared was not a decisionwhy does he
withhold bis decision on the ouster proceed
ings? And, is it not possible that Judge
Bechtel, being a candidate for re-election
next fall, is holding out a Utile taffy on a
stick? It is understood that neither Justice
Coyle or Jones, will be a candidate at the
coming election in Mahanoy City, but Justice
Cardin will be a candidate in this town aud
ex-Justiee Tooiney will also run. Their
sentiment is that it will cost little to get on
the safe side.

L0HQ FOR THE CABINET 7
Tho Report That lie Has Accepted the
Havy Portfolio.
WAiMNQTOH, Jan. 19. A statement was
published here yesterday that a promi
nent New England senator had received
information from Bo ton announcing
authoritatively that ex-Governor Long, of
Massachusetts, had been tendered and
accepted the secretaryship of the navy.
An Associated Press reporter saw a num
ber of the senators from New England
during: the evening, and while all ex
pressed the opinion that they believed ths
ex-governor might be appointed to a cab
inet position under the new administra
tion, yet they had not received any In
formation to the effect that he had ac
cepted the navy portfolio.
It was stated that Mr. Aldrloh, of Rhode
Island, was the senator referred to In the
publication, but he was lnaooesslble. The
story was to t ho effect tiiat advices came
In a long distance telephone message from
Hun. Joe Mauley, who Is at present in
Boston. Sevoral of the senators referred
to the foot that the ex-overnor had been
in conference last week with the presi-dent-eleot,
presumably with reference to
a place In the cabinet.

IlABHiSBuno, Jan. 19. The work of the
house has been delayed another week by
ths Inability of tho Republican state com
mittee to agree on a list of officers and
subordinates. The committee had hoped
to be able te'report last night, but certain
complications have arisen within the past
twelve hours to make It necessary to hold
baok the lirt until next Monday night.
The standing committees will be an
nounced at the same time in the house
aud senate. A short session of both
houses was held last night. A Cuban
sympathy resolution was introduced and
referred In the house. In the senate a con
stitutional amendment regarding elec
tions was submitted, and Senator Grady,
of Philadelphia, presented a bill to punish
beggars.
A Lineman's Awful Death.
Philadelphia, Jan. 19. Charles Hein
zeroth, aged 88, a lineman employed by
the electrical bureau, died a dreadful
death at 8il8 o'clock in the morning by
coming in aontaot with an aro light eleo
trio current at the southwest corner of Ju

hour after the deadly curreut had shooked
his life away Holnzeroth's body remained
suspended across the network of wires at
the top of the telegraph pole forty feet

no doubt be greeted by a large audience,
which they wen deserve. Mr. Tempest has
secured a strong company.

Near Mango Landing.
Havana, Jan. 19. Captain General
Weyler has Issued a circular amplifying
article 2 of his edict of Jan. 1. It says that
tile Spanish authorities must not permit
groceries, dry goods or medicines to leave
a town unless the remittors of each lo
cality guarantee the loyalty and standing
Of the purchasers and vouch for their
actual need of the goods. The military
authorities are required to sign each tn
voloe In duplicate, and one of them will
serve as a guide for the Spanish author
ities until the consignment arrives at its
destination, This step has been taken to
still further do away with the possibility
of the insurgents being able to purohase
supplies in the towns, and there is no deny
ing that the work of starving the insur
gents into subjection Is being pushed with
more vigor and suooess than the work of
subduing them by force of arms.
The Insurgents have attaoked Santiago
de las Vegas, this provlnoe, from several
points. Their fire was arrested by tho
Spanish garrison in the trenches, and n
government foroe under Captain Echen
ique attaoked the enemy outside the town,
with the result that the insurgents re
treated. Senior Maoelras, editor of La Pntrla, of
Santa Clara, has been imprisoned by or
der of tho governor of that province. Ila
Is oharged with circulating false oharges
against the authorities. The publication
of La Patria has been stopped.
It Is reported that Gomez has sent a spe
cial messenger to General Ruiz Rivera,
the insurgent leader in the provlnoe of
Plnnr del Rio, urging him at all hazards
to create a diversion In that nart of the
island, so as to prevent the oaptoln gen
eral from sending an overwhelming foroe
against the Insurgent army whlotj Is ad
vancing irom tne eastern part of Santa
Clara toward Matenzas, with tho Inten
tion, It is said, of nusblns on as near as
possible to the capital.

tho morning of Jan. 17 both gunboats
were near Alnngo lauding whon an exnlo-
slon of a torpedo, which had been well
placed In the rlvor, sunk the Ilelarapago.
Those of the orew who survived swam to
ward shore, but wore flrod on from the
banks. At tho critical moment a boat
was launched from the Centlnela. which
rescued the man In the water. The expe
dition had to return to Manzlllo. Six: of
tho Relampago's officers and crow were
killed outright, and allot the rest received
wounds of mora or less severity. On tho
Centlnela tho commander, Senor Puerto,
was seriously wounded, while of tho crow
one was killed and nine wounded.
COHANS DO NOT LACK FUNDS.
Tho Spanish KrTorts to Impoverish Them
Are Unavailing.
New Yobk, Jan. 19. The Cuban junta
has something like $40,000 tied up In de
posits with the United States government,
made in lieu of real estate security for
the appearance of several members of tho
revolutionary party who aro charged with
violation oi me neutrality laws. Cash
ball was given because real estate owners
wore unwilling to assume the risk of be
ooming surety for a filibuster who might
tie oaueu out or tne country just at tho
tlmo sot for trial. Kuowina- this, the
Spanish government has sought to em
barrass the junta by oausing arrests to bo
maue on om and almost forrrotten
oharges, so that it would be necessary to
dovote to ball purposes tho capital might
be advantageously used in the purohaso of
arms and ammunition.
Tho resources of the Cubans, however.
are greater than the Spaniards Imagine.
