NOLL'S CONFERREE RETALIATED.

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

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.

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.
