FORJUDGE!

Delegates.
0ERFL1NGER FOR TREASURER
Berger, of Cressona, Nominated For District
Attorney, and Bhoener For Clerk of
the Courts Lelb Nominated
For Prothonotary on a
Very Closo Vote.
Pottsville, July 17. The Republicans of
tho county assembled hero to-day for the pur
pose of nominating u winning ticket, aud
whilo tho delegates had their personal choice
each recognized tho importation of making
that a secondary consideration In choosing
tho standard-bearers. Everybody wanted
harmony, anil they wero ready to sacrifice
personal Interest to secure that end, with tho
view of ultimate success in November.
A largo numbor of delegates and party
loaders arrlvod bore last evening, and the
interest manifested In tho personnel of tbo
ticket is an Indication that alt fool assured
that this is a Republican year. Alt of tho
candidates opened up headquarters. F. C,
Reese, candidate for Register, hold forth In
the building opposite the Merchants' hotel,
whilo Joseph Wyatt, candidate for County
Commissioner, had rooms in the latter hos-
tolcry. Recorder Jenkyn received his friends
at tho Exchange hotel, and genial James
McElhenny was at homo at the Merchants
as was also r rant Jvautuer. Too latter's
running mate, Horace F. Reber, gavo tho
glad hand at Bickort's hotol.
Thoro was a marked contrast bctweon tho
gathering that assembled hero last ovonlng
and to-day and that which marred tbo pro
ceedlngs of last Monday'! convention. Tho
delegates conducted themselves in an orderly
and gentlemanly manner, and this fact was
favorably commontod upon. It was a Repub
lican gathering in every sense of the word.
Last ovoning most of tho Interest centered
upon tho Judgeship, and both tho Koch and
Henning people wero clalmlug tho nomina
tlon of thoir favorite. The Shenandoah dele
gation held a preliminary caucus last oven
ing and unanimously decided to support
Kooh for Judge, The Henning people, hoar-
Ing this, mado an effort to split up tbo dele
gation, and ovon tho persuasive eloquence of
Jack" Whitohonso failed to change tho
dolegation from what they considered tho
wishes of thoir constituencies. It was so un
usual for the delegation from the big town
orth of the mountain to present a solid
front that It was a subject of favorable com
ment. Thero woro no boodlers In tbo Shon
andoah delegation this year.
riOKINO THE WINNERS.
Early this morning the political prognostic
cators wero at work. John T. Schoonor tor
Clerk of tho Courts and Charles E. Borger
for District Attornoy had no opposition
While Henning, with tho material assistance
of DocrflinKor, carried seven of tho olght
TTBiuur roravmo, ino trionas or Kocn de
veloped such groat strength outsido of tho
county soat that his frionds entered tbo con
vention sauguluo that their favorlto would
bo tho judicial nomineo. Democratic money
was used freely to socuro tho nomination of
Honnlng for tho reason well, tho rcador can
draw his own conclusions.
The frionds of Kautnor and Reber, candl
dates for Commissioner, early lu tho morning
formed a combination for mutual bonefit. To
accomplish tho dofcat of James McElhenny,
of Mahanoy City, candldato for Protbonotary
William Carter and William Loib, tho latter
also a candidate for tho samo office, pooled
their forces. James R. Dcogan, tho present
Protbonotary, withdrew as a candidate for
re-nomination early last evening in fayor of
his brothor-In-law, Lelb. This action on
Deegan's part was not unexpected. Tho
Butler township Democratic leaders, Carey
and Kenney, wore hero booming tho candl
dacy of Leib.
THE ORGANIZATION.
The selection of a permanent chairman
was given consideration by tho loaders as
early as last evening. The suggestion was
made that C'ailrman Quail bo mutually
agreed upon tp preside over tho convention,
but mat men witn so little lavor tuat tne
laminar njvf-fl ol lion. Eiias Davis, was
brought f."-ward by his side-partner, Sub-
Treasurer John F. Finney, and a little boom
was soon started Dr. Qlllors, of Pottsville,
had been dccldejupon by the Honnlng sup
porters, but was droppod for Davis, after
learning that tbo Koch people had accepted
tho Now Castlo township statesman. Dayls
had no opposition for tho position.
Benjamin F. Kaufman withdrew as
candidate for Commissioner eaily this morn
ing In the interest of Horace F. Reber, of
Pmegrove.
When Chairman Quail made his appearance
in the convention hall at 10:15 everything

Btrlko Is on In Brooklyn. So far It
has not Ueen as effective aa the strike
of 1805, but there Is no telling how
long or how far reaching It may bo-
como. For bo mo weens pant tne cm-
ployoa of the several lines controlled
by tho Brooklyn Ilnpld Transit com
pany havo been complaining that tho
management did not livo up to the ten
hour law. Tho men demand a revision
of tho time tablos at tho different
barns, and also claim that thoy should
bo paid 20 cents an hour for overtimo,
which Is onulvalont to $2 n day, tho
price which thoy sot for a working day
of ton hours.
General Master Workman Parsons
and District Master Workman Plnoe
had charge of tho mon's affairs, and a
strlko was called at 4:30 yesterday
morning. At this hour most of tho
motormen and conductors on the
Brooklyn Traction company's lines had
mmnlnlnrl thnlr nlcllt trlDB. HI1U tne
loauurs had decided that this was the
most opportune moment to begin what
was expected to bo a stubborn ugm
with the traction company. Tho Smith

ferry lines, which aro controlled by tho
Coney Island Railroad company, nav-
lng maintained tho regular torms witn
their emuloyos. wore not impoaea in
tho least, but on all other roads trans
portation was stopped for a whilo, ana
a good deal of congoetlon occurred In
conseauonco.
Shortly after midnight about l.wu
policemen from tho precincts In Man
hattan nnd the uronx oisiricta woro
convoyed to tho different barns, and
many wore placed along tho soverai
routes comprising the territory covered
by the Brooklyn Traction company,
Ud to half-past 7 o clock thero wore
very few cars run over these lines, and
those that wore sent out from the dif
ferent barns were policed by two, throe
and four men. On the Putnam avenuo
lino only a few men refused to work.
and It was nottccablo that scarcely a
half dozen of the cars on this di
vision woro policed. Tho Flatbush and
Borgen Beach cars, tho Nostrand avo

Hero a crowd of some 800 pooplo.
many of whom wero women and chil
dren had congregated, and the motor
man of the Ampere, Howard Jackson,
was attacked by sovoral men who woro
In sympathy with tho strikers. Tho
motorman received somo nasty bruises
on tho head and legs. Secretary
WIckos was one of tho first to run to
the man's assistance, and ho was
finally rescued from tho mob. Six ar
rests wero made and tho track was
Boon cleared.
Throughout tho oftornoon boulders
and large pieces of granlto wero taken
from a near by yard and placed on tho
tracks in the vicinity of Greenwood
cemetery, and as cars came along at
Intervals of 20 and 30 minutes, their
further progress was considerably de
layed until these obstructions were re
moved. No sooner did tho care pass
than tho boulders woro laid on the
tracks again, and tho police were un
able to stop the efforts of tho obstruc
tionists. During the day 300 additional
police were sent over from New York.
Tho only cutting of wire roported to
tho Brooklyn police hoadouartors was
tho partial destruction of the feed cable
on Flatbush avenue, but a score of
linemen soon repalrod this In a tem
porary manner.
General Mastor Workman Parsons
satd: "This strike was one that could
not be averted. Tho first 21 hours of
a strlko neither wins nor loses It, and
wo are satisfied witn tho showing that
wo have made. Tho care are now
mannod by Inspectors and tho men
who remained. Thoy are making a
showing, but It Is a bad ono."
President Rosslter said today that
tho Brooklyn Rapid Transit officials
would not arbitrate the strlko diffi
culty with their striking employes.
"There's nothing to arbitrate." said
Mr. Rosslter. "The men who havo
gone out came to me with certain do
mands. I showed them that they al
ready had substantially all thoy asked
for, and would Btrni&hten nil t n n v In.
Justice Thoy came In a fightlnc mood
and were not disposed to look at the
subject dispassionately."
