grandson of the illustrious judge of |
the same name and the son of the late |
Chauncey F. Black, who was lieuten-
ant governor of the state during the
first Pattison administration, and Sen-
ator Arthur DeWalt, of Lehigh county,
are also in the party, as well as Ru-
dolph Blankenburg, the eminent re-
former of Philadelphia, who is now
commissioner.

Francis A. Lewis, of Philadelphia, the |

Voters of Pennsylvania will have 12
party squares on the official ballot from |

ernor and other state offices at the
November election. Every new party

this year are: Republican, Democrat,
Prohibitionist, Lincoln, Socialist, So-
cialist Labor, Referendum, Jefferson, |

appear on the ballot under more than |
one party title. Many other parties |
have filed papers in the state depart- |
ment claiming titles for judgeship, |
legislative and congressional nomina- |
tions! In some counties there will be |
as many as 14 squares on the ticket.
Among the names pre-empted are |

rival candidates for the state legisla-
ture in this district. He finds against
Edmund James and Alvin Sherbine,
the regular nominees of the 'Republi-
can party, who had also been indorsed
by an alleged Lincoln party convention
held at Ebensburg last May, and for
whom nomination papers had also been
filed, and finds in favor of the certifi-
cates of nomination forwarded by the
officers of another alleged Lincoln
party convention, held at Ebensburg
on the 20th of September, presided
over by William H. Morris, when
David Irvin, of Hastings, and Edward
Fisher, of South Fork, the candidates
of the miners, or Working Class party,
were put in nomination for the same
office. The full text of the opinion
follows:
“The persons who made these nomi-
‘ nations (James and Sherbine) have not
fulfilled the requirements of the law
entitling them to nominate by certifi-
cate of nomination; nor do they pre-
tend to have any relation to the Lincoln
party of the state, which is entitled to
make nominations by certificate of of-
fice to be voted for in the entire state.
They have, on the other hand, in mak-
ing the nominations, acted entirely in-
dependent of that party and its rules.
In addition to this, it has been shown
that the nominations for the same of-
fice for which nominations are here
made have been made by others who
have been recognized in this particular
district and who have acted in accord-
ance with the rules of that party.
“Inder this state of facts, it is mani-
fest that the persons who made and
caused to be certified these nomina-
tions have nothing upon 'which to
found the right to nominate by certifi-
cate or to certify nominations in the
name of the Lincoln party. The cer-
tificate of nomination, therefore, of
Edmund James and Alvin Sherbine as
the candidates of the Lincoln party for
representative in the general assembly
of the state from the second represent-
ative district in the county of Cambria |
is adjudged to be invalid, and the pro-
thonotary is directed to certify this
judgment to the secretary of the com-
monwealth.”’
The aboye opinion, besides settling
the matter of Lincoln party legislative
candidates, will also indirectly dispose
of the contest in which argument was
started before Judge Bell last Satur-

deep seated disease compelled her to
take to her bed, where she remained
until the end.

The funeral was held in St. Mary’s |
R. C. church Tuesday morning at 9:30
o’clock, at which time a high mass of |
requiem was celebrated by Rev. Edwin |
Pierron. The members of the local

the organizations named.

accompanied by about 90 friends and
relatives of the deceased, and were in-
terred in the Catholic cemetery at that
place.

him.
He was a consistent member of the

The Major Was There.
In its account of the soldiers’ reun-
ion at Ebensburg Wednesday the
Johnstown Democrat said: ‘Major
Bell, of Patton, resplendent with a
tenor dram, marched about over town |
side by side with Jared Laughner, of |
Bradenville. These two old vets seemed |
like two school boys together. Side by |
side they marched in battle, Major |
Bell with his drum and Jared Laugh-
ner as fifer. To-day was a revival of
the old days to these two. They
laughed and swapped jokes gleefully |
when not occupied with their mus-
sical instruments. As they were about
together over town they were halted
every few rods by groups of enthusi-
asts who compelled them to rattle off
the old-time tunes rendered on the
battlefield.”
Catholic Rectory at Dudley Improved.
Monday of this week Wm. H. Long,
of Huntingdon, completed a $1,000 job
for the Rev. Father McKenna, rector of
Immaculate Conception church at Dud-
ley. A hot water plant has been in-|
stalled in the rectory, also a bath room
with latest and most improved conven-
iences. A hydraulic rife ram furnishes
the water. Altogether the rectory is
now the most commodious residence
within many miles of Dudley. Much
| credit is due Messrs. Chas J. Ergler
fitters, for the efficient manner in|
which they have done their work.—

No Reduction to Clergy.
Passenger traffiic officials of the
lines in the Central Passenger Associa-
tion territory have practically decided
to abolish the granting of reduced rates
to clergymen after January 1, 1907.
At the meeting of the association rec-
ently the proposition came up and was
continued until the November meet-
ing, when the rate probably will be
advanced 1} cents a mile with the un-
derstanding that the arrangement will
be discontinued at the end of the year.
