ANTHONY REILLY WON.
NOMINATED FOR THE LEGISLATURE
ON THE THIRD BALLOT.
Hazleton, True to Prediction*, IgnoroH
All CluliiiH for Recognition Made liy
North Side Candidate* Republican*
Fluted Over the Result.
The quietest Democratic convention
in the history of the fourth legislative
district was held at Hazleton on Tuesday,
when Anthony Reilly, of that city, was
named as the candidate for the legisla
ture. The gathering failed to arouse the
usual interest among the local statesmen,
and those who did attend were disap
pointed at the apparent harmony exist
ing during the sessions. The delegates
were to have met at 10 A. M., but it was
11.45 o'clock before all had returned
from the caucuses of the different candi
dates.
Chairman Matt Long opened the con
vention, and after the call had been
read by Secretary G. L. Lubrecht the
delegates presented their credentials and
prepared for temporary organization.
The following is a list of the delegates:
Freeland—P. B. Carr, James Dinnion.
Foster—Ripples, Richard O'Connor;
Highland, Thos. J. Boyle; South Heber

teenth, Daniel Kennedy; fourteenth,

From the thirty-six districts thero
were thirty-eight delegates, Freeland
borough and Woodside having two each,
on account of the districts polling over
150 Democratic votes. There were no
contests, and for temporary chairman
C. A. Johnson and Michael Fallon were
nominated. As a ballot was about to be
taken Mr. Fallon withdrew and Mr.
Johnson was elected by acclamation,
lie thanked the delegates briefly for the
honor conferred upon him and hoped
the convention would adjourn as united
and harmoniously as it had begun.
Rhone Trescott was selected as tempor
ary secretary, after which the following
committees were appointed:
Permanent Organization—Messrs. Fal
lon, Donohre, Dennion, Hough and

At 2.15 P. M. the delegates had re
turned from dinner and went to work
with more speed than in the morning.
The committee on resolutions reported
the following, which was adopted:
liemlveil, That we gladly announce our en

Pennsylvania, and record our approval of the
great demands of the hour, honest taxation
*■ and home rule for our j>eople.
liwoliwl, That wo denounce the so-called
protection |>olicy of the Republican party as a
scheme to enable cupitulists to become million
aires, that they may be l>etter able to reduce
wages and keep the working people in u state
of semi-poverty and subjection.
HemAvcd, Thut we hereby express our sin
cere gratification at the wise choice of Hon. W.

elements of the party is needed to secure the
election of the ticket iu IH2.
RetuAved, That we denounce all unlawful or
ganizations and combinations of capital such
as the Reuding deal, and we call uion the
nominee of this convention and our represen
tative in congress to use every effort to bring
them to Justice, and, as suggested by Governor
Pattison, impose upon them the penalties they
have incurred.
The committee on revision of rules
had no report to make, and after a few
words of instruction from Matt Long a
recess of fifteen minutes was taken, when
the committee reported the following,
which was approved:
RiwAvcd, That the representation to the dis
trict convention be one delegate from each
election district for every 100 votes, or fraction
above TO, on an average of all the candidates
voted for at the next preceding election.
RcjuAvcd, That the district committee consist
of seventeen delegates, as follows: Hazleton,
f>; Hazle, 5; Foster, 3; Freeland, 2; Jcddo, 1;
West Hazleton, 1.
RexAvetl, That rule 7, governing senutoiial
conferees, bo übolishcd.
All the preliminary work having been
done, Chairman Johnson, at 3.15 P. M.,
declared the convention open to receive
nominations for the legislative candi
date. Anthony Reilly, of Hazleton,
was named by Edward Dinsmore; J. D.
Myers, of Foster, by 11. M. Brislin;
John J. McNelis, of Foster, by Tlios. J.
Boyle, and Conrad liar-', of Hazleton,
by George Seybert.
Each of the candidates selected a
teller, as follows: By Rielly, J. J.
Elwood; by Myers, P. B. Carr; by Mc-
Nelis, Jas. P. Sweeney, and by Haas,
Geo. Seybert.
Balloting then began by the secretary
calling the roll and each delegate
answering from Irs seat. The result
was:
Reilly 18
McNelis 10
Myers 6
Haas 4
Michael Fallon moved that two more
ballots be taken, and if there be no
choice by that time to drop the candi
date receiving the lowest number of
votes. The motion was carried by a
vote of 20 to 14. The second ballot, was
taken, resulting tho same as the first.
Mr. Haas asked nermission to speak
and upon receiving it thanked h'-> dele
gates and withdrew his name. The
third ballot resulted:
Reilly 21
McNelis 11
Myers tl
Rciliy's nomination was made unan
imous, and a faint cheer arose from
the delegates. The majority of the
spectators filed out of Hazle Hall with
the prestige of defeat plainly visible
upon their countenances, while the
friends of the nominee surrounded him
ami offered congratulations. The candi
date was called to tho platform and
made some remarks about intending to
make a strong fight for his election, and
would try to represent the people of the
district in an able manner if he won.
The delegations from eacli section met
and appointed the district committee for
the next two years as follows:
Hazleton—Geo. Seybert, Con. P.
O'Donnell, Henry Heiser, Patrick Mc-
Geehan and Geo. Greising.
Freeland—Wm. F. Boyle and Peter B.
Carr.
Hazle—Frank Gallagher, James Ferry,
Edward McShea, Patrick O'Donnell and
Frank Fisher.
Foster—James North, Hugh M. Bris
lin and P. B. Ferry.
Weat Hazleton—Silas E. Jones.
Jedilo—Philip Brißlin.
The Democrats of this end of the dis
trict have little to say on the subject now.
They Beem to recognize that all they are
here for is to obey the people of Hazle
ton and be used to further the selfish
aims of the Democrats there. The cut
this year was a deep one and is not likely
to he healed before November. It is
certain that several good Democrats are
indifferent to the result.
On the other hand, the Republicans
are confident of a walk-over for Jeffrey.
They understand the feeling among the
Democrats here far better than the
Democrats of Hazleton did, and their
claims of victory are not being disputed
by those who know what Foßter and
Freeland can do on election duy.
Yesterday'* Wedding*.
The marriage of Griffith Hughes and
MiBS Emma Levi, of Jeddo, was cele
brated very appropriately last evening

TWO FOOLS FIGHT.
Tluy Pummel Each Other to Win the
Smiles of a Wilkes-ltarre Girl.
Patrick Calpin and John Lenahan, of
Sugar Notch, for the past eight months
have been paying attentions to a hard
some young lady of Wilhes-Barre. T1 e
rivals for the young lady's hand at Fi ,
were sociable and friendly in the matter,
according to the Newsdeclcr , but as time
advanced both young men became in
fatuated with the maiden. When ap
proached by either of her beaux she
would tell him that the man that won
her hand had to prove himself a hero.
Both of the lovers are workingmen
and never had any experience in tie
manly art, but when told by the young
girl that she wanted a hero, both went
into training for the fight. Calpin was
under the care of John Conway, while
Michael Bratch rubbed down young
Lenahan and encouraged him in his ef
forts to win the hand of the young girl
he loved.
Friday night was set for the fight to
come off. At the appointed hour the
men were on the ground. There was a
fair sized crowd gathered to witness the
mill and both men decided to postpone
the affair and the crowd dispersed.
The affair was the talk of the town all
day Saturday. The men agreed to fight
the battle on Saturday night and after
dusk they, with only their seconds,
wended their way to the foot of the
mountain and there fought to see who
should go with the girl. Lenahan vas
the strongest of the two and it was evi
dent from the start that he would win,
as he did, but not before Calpin put in a
good fight and he was badly beaten be
fore he gave up. Lenahan came off the
battle field victorious, but Calpin now '
wants another chance at his opponent
in a seientfio battle, Marquis of Queens
bury rules to govern.
The young girl who is the cause of all
this trouble says they must fight it out
before she will decide on the man she
will go with. All the parties are well
known in Sugar Notch and the affair
created a great deal of talk.
Excursion to Mountain Park.
On Saturday the fifth annual excur
sion of the White Jlaven Odd Fellows'
Relief Association to Mountain Park will
take place. On all previous occasions
these excursions were well patronized
and we predict that the crowd will be
greater than ever this year. Too much
good cannot he said of this organization,
as the funds derived from these ex
cursions are converted into food and
clothing and distributed among the poor
without any regard to creed or natio? -
ality. It is a worthy organization and
deserves patronage. Those who patron
ize this excursion are giving their small
mites to charity and enjoyingthemselvos
at the same time. Time of train and
fare in another column.

THE STRIKE SPREADS
MORE SWITCHMEN STOP WORK AT
BUFFALO.
The Soldier* Fire Into a Mob That Wat
Attacking; Nonunion Men, with Fata)
Itesulta—Grand Secretary Deb* Say* the
Firemen Will Not Strike.
BUFFALO, Aug. 24.—The "cruel war," AT
it ifl now called both by the soldiers and the
newspaper correspondents, is still in evi
dence. The events of the day, while not
altering the real situation, which is the fail
ure of the switchmen's strike, have been
more numerous and exciting than for sev
oral days.
On the side of the strikers the material
events of the day have been the accession
to the ranks of the switchmen of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western and the
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg, whicl
completes the tieup, if such it may be called,
of all the roads centering in Buffalo. Th
men of the lattor road who quit work arc
not numerous, and their action does not cul
any figure, as the road terminates in Buff ale
on the tracks controlled by the Buff ale
Crook Terminal company, whoso men wore
already out. Its only significance lies in the
fact that the Rochester and Pittsburg is the
groat soft coal carrier for this and the uj
lakes territory, and with it in the strike ali
the coal roads centering at the port of Buf
falo are involved.
The Lackawanna addition to the involved
roads is of more importance, as its tracks
and trestles are numerous and will have tc
have protection if there is a continuance oi
the tieup. In addition to its loading trestle
at the mouth of the harbor and its exten
sive freight docks at the foot of Main street
along the water front, it has a big storage
trestle east of the city line iu Cheektowaga,
in about the same location as that of the
Lehigh Valley, which has beon under guard
of three companies of the Seventy-fourth
regiment for the past week, this post being
an isolated one about 3)4 miles east of the
city line.
A Striker Shut.
All reports to the contrary, up to thib
time there have been but two cases where
strikors or mischief makers have been actu
ally hit when shot at by tho troops. How
ever, the Twenty-second regiment, sta
tioned at the Tifft farm, where tho Lehigh
Valley docks are located, had a brush with
strikors, one of whom was shot and so badly
wounded by a soldier that ho is likely to die.
Tho affair grew out of assaults on non
union switchmen and several arrests were
mado. Tho soldier who did the shooting
went with the police to make a statement
and was himself made a prisoner. As may
be imagined, Colonel Camp was not long in
making it evident that tho Twenty-second
regiment did not relish such treatment by
tho civil authorities, and when General
Doyle told him to take all tho men he
wanted, recapture his soldier and take
possession of the police headquarters it
necessary, tho order was obeyed with
alacrity and things looked decidedly inter
esting. A large sized incident was spoiled,
however, when the police released the
soldier before his comrades arrived to res
cue him.
The military authorities have thoir handt
full and the work is of tho disagreeable
sort, but the soldiers are attending to theii
tasks in a fashion that is surprising. When
the large number of men and their un
familiarity with the work in hand is con
sidered, the fact that there is not more
trouble by reason of the annoyance and
taunts to which thoy are subjected is
worthy of remark.
Rumors as to the retention and withdraw
al of the troops are more than numerous,
and in a talk with General Porter tho Unit
ed Press was authorized to say that he pro
poses to retain the present force here until
it is fully evident that the civil authorities
can protect lives and property in the proper
manner. This conclusion has been reached
after a most thorough inspection of the sit
uations and the stations of the troops in
detail. General Porter, who reports to
Governor Flower every day as to the out
look, is now firmly convinced that there will
be no material change in affairs for some
days. To use his exact words: "You may
make the statement (as to the retention oi
the troops) just as emphatic as you please."
The Cuufereuoe of the Chiefs.
It may be assumed that the men will all
be here until the close of the week at least,
unless the strike is sooner declared off. On
this phase of the question the expected
mooting this afternoon betwoen Messrs.
Sweeney, Sargent, Clark aud Wilkinson,
of tho switchmen, flremou, conductors
and trainmen, is oxpected to havo an im
portant bearing, aud there is no ground to
change the belief of twenty four hours ago
that the three last named orders will find
no reasonable ground for joining in a gen
eral strike. Reports that the local firemen
have decided to strike aud have made theii
wishes known to Grand Master Sargent re
questing him to tako their view of tho case
at the conference are not yet traced to any
reliable source.
Debs Says the Firemen Won't Strike.
TBRRE HAUTE, lud., Aug. 24.—Grand Sec
retary Debs, of tho Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, says that no striko of the
firemen at Buffalo could be legally ordered
undor the existing conditions without con
flicting with the constitution and luws of
the order. HO was very sure that the men
would remain at work and declared that a
sympathetic strike was out of tho question.
Governor Fugle Very Low.
LITTLE ROCK, Aug. 22.—Acting Governor
Hamby received a telegram saying that
Governor Eagle is in a critical condition.
Governor Eugle has been quite ill for two
mouths. About ten days ago, at tho advice
of his physician, he was taken to Rich
mond, Ky.
