THE TIGpT IS TflBOf AU) BuftlfE Hot Time at the Democratic Convention Saturday Nlfhl. NOLL'S CONFERREE RETALIATED. Damin Learned That the Scanlan P.oplo Had Planned to Dump Jake Noll so Be Turned in With Banna and r Dumped Boanlan. The Democratic borough ticket for the Sprlug caminign was decided upon and an nounoed Saturday night by the i r. m,n elected at the primaries on Friday To say that the tioket is received with itnf i u . and will receive the support of the pji-ya the election would be an unwarrantable cbal tenge of truth. The ticket Is, of course, sat Isfactory to many Democrat, and at the same time meets the approbation of many of the Cltltens party, who feel that it is about as good a favor as any the Democratic party i could confer upon them at this time. I Tho ticket Is as fallows i Chief Burgess ADAM P. TABOB. Receiver of Taxes EDWARD BURKE. Borough Justices J. J. CARDIN. JERE. T00MEY. Borough Audltor-JOHN MCDONALD. The ticket was mado up by a counter deal. rhe Scanlan forces, at the eleventh hour; succeeded In taking two oonferrees from Jacob Noll, ono of the Democratic aspirants for Chief Burgess. Noll's friends retaliated by throwing their strength io Burke, so that both Scanlan and Noll fell between tho benches, and tho end baB not been reached yet if current reports conje from points of authority. Tho convention was a stormy ono and of a character that could hardly be assuring to any party. It appears that aftor Thomas Scanlan was elected chairman of tho Second ward primary Friday night he left the place without naming his conferrals, or proceeding for a nomination or a ward tickot. It was understood, however, that the couferrees were to be Thomas Scanlan, Patrick Gibbons and Kllllan O'Neal. They were understood to be for M. J. Scanlan for Beceivor of Taxes and Jacob Noll for Chief Burgess. It is charged that efforts were brought to bear on Saturday by the Scanlan people to get the oonferrees to turn over from Noll to Tabor. This is stated as a positive fact in connection with Gibbons, who declined to desert O'Neal. However, when tho convention opened the Second ward conforroes were fouud to be Thomas Scanlan, F. J. Bronnan and P. J. Mulholland, who favored Scanlan aud Tabor. Noll heard of this program aud started out to hustle up his friends. Ono of Noll's con fcrrces in th Fifth ward, Henry Damm, feeling that Noll was socure for the nomina tion had decided to remain home, on account of his wife being ill. Noll suddenly appeared at tho house, shortly aftor seven o'clock, and related the Second ward deal. Damm and Noll hurried to the convention. At first Damm was denied recognition, the grouud being takou that a substitute had been sealed. Noll and Damm made a successful fight, however, and the latter got his scat. He did not succeed In saving his man, but ho de feated Scanlan. When the time to voto for Bcceivor of Taxes arrived, Matt. Giblon and Thomas Tracey.First ward conferrees.cast their votes for Scanlan. These votes, with those of the Second and Fifth wards, would have giyen Scanlan eight votes and the nomination, but when the Fifth ward votes were called for Damm voted Burke, thus leaving Scanlan with but seven votes. Tho Third and Fourth ward votes, with the voto of Frank Uanna, from the First ward, and Damm, from the Fifth, made up the tally that landed Burke. There are several sore spots. Tho Scanlan peoplo blame tho Noll people for Damm's action, ana Noll's frisnds say Damm was Jus tified becauso the Scanlau peoplo tried to make -a Jonah out of Noll. Walter Ryu kawlcz is also asking what he did to desorve his dump. It was understood throughout the campaign that if Burke should win Eyn knwlcz would bo ono of tho Borough Jus tices. Justice Cardin managed to got out of the wet on Saturday afternoon, bowover, and that left Eyukawlcz out in the blizzard to take what consolation ho could out of tho nomination of Tabor for Chiof Burgess. It was generally understood In advance that newspapermen would not he admitted to the convention. Notwithstanding this, two put In an appearance tomako a scoop on the other reporters, hut were obliged to with draw by a motion of Frank Hanna that newspaper men bo excluded. OTHER BOROUGH TICKETS.

GIRVI N'S 8 South Main St. THE ALPORT ARREST. Its ItelntioH to the Ilia- Yarowslry Swindles. Gang The llKitAi.n on Saturday made brief ref erence to the arrest of one Joseph Alport, of this town, at Utioa, X. Y. It has since re ceived a copy of the Utica Morning Herald, wuicn snows more clearly the connection of Alport with the Yarowski swindle and gives details whioh have not been published in the newspapers of this region. The Utica Morning Herald says : "To the Penn sylvania authorities the swindlers are known as the "Yarowsky gang," th principals be ing Harry, Abe and Charles Yarowsky, Alport and another Jew. They have suc ceeded in swindling firms in Buffalo, Now York, Boston, Mansfield, Toleda, O., and other cities, out of thousands of dollars. One of the gang would locate in a small town within 50 miles of Sheuandoah, Pa., and open a store. He would pay cash for all goods, aud by making false reports to commercial agencies would get a good rating. The latter secured, he would send letters to different firms directing that goods be sent him. When tm'niriigot hot and creditors' demands posi tive, tlie"oi?neT . trie sWft-woald confess judgment to a friend, and thou other friends would bid in the stock and turn it over to tho gang. This scheme has been worked success fully by tho gang 'since 1889, and the goods thus obtained by fraud would eventually go Into a Polish Jew peddler's consignment and sold throughout tho country. Half a dozen Pennsylvania towns wero worked by tho gang. In Lykens, Pa., the store was con ducted by Bernard Wilson ; in Oatawissa by Conrad Herring j in Nanticoke, by Charles Sherman ; in Bloonisburg, by Harry Miller j and in Danville by Bernard Wagner. Alport conducted the stores at Danville and Bur wick, and was known to the post-office officials in those places as B. Wagner. Ho also went oy his right name. At Likens tho gang received 144 different consignments of goods. It received shoes, typewriters, buggies, safes, wagons, rubber goods and al most every article of manufacture. Alport received and sent mail at Berwick and Dan ville as B. Wagner, but to Inspector Gorman and Deputy Marshall Condon, who visited him at the jail last night, the prisoner said ho was only hired by tho Yarowskys. Alport al so bad charge of the store at Lykens for two weeks during th absence of on of the Yarowskys. He hat been connected with tho gang for about two years." The arrest at Utica was made by Pott Office Inspector Hugh J. Gorman, of Phila delphia, who worked up the case in this region, with the assistance of County Detec tive Amour and others. Tin specific charge against Alport is the using of the United States mails with iutent t defraud. He was arraigned last Friday before a United States Commissioner aud formally identified, after winch a writ of removal was ,ecured from Uuited Stales Court Jude Coxe at Albany, N. Y.,and Inspector Gorman took theprisoucr to Pittsburg, Pa., wher ho will be placed on trial with the Yarowskys when the authori ties have their cases ready.
