FREELAND TRIBUNE.
VOL. V. No. 21.
DEMOCRATS IN SESSION.
AN EXCITING BUT HARMONIOUS CON
VENTION HELD.
Mines for Congress, Wright for Senator,
Waiters for Sheriff, Russell for Record
er, Trimmer for Coroner and Crockett
for Surveyor.
The Democrats of Luzerne county had
their annual outing on Tuesday at
Wilkes-llarre. The close and exciting
contests for the nominations every year
were repeated again, and the strife for
office was waged as hard as in any pre
vious campaign. The delegates to tho
convention were on the ground from
Monday afternoon, and the all-night
curbstone caucuses vented the uncer
tainty of what the day would bring forth.
The making of the whole ticket hinged
upon the nominees for congress and
sheriff at first, but the candidates for
recorder of deeds made their influence
felt before morning.
Between McGinty and Ilines the fight
was exceedingly bitter and the friends
and supporters of both men worked hard
among the delegates to obtain votes. In
the morning the chances favored Mc-
Ginty and liis friends claimed lie would
lie named with nearly a score of votes to
spare. Ilines, however, never gave up
the fight for an instant, and his men
were everywhere watching for an op
portunity to persuade McGinty's dele
gates to desert. That ttiev succeeded
was shown afterward hy the" vote.
For sheriff Tom English and William
Walters were tho leading candidates,
but the strength of Dotter and Wernet
was unknown and upset several calcula
tions. About midnight Walters and
liussell made a combination that seem
ingly settled their nominations, but this
slate was smashed the next morning,
and English's chances again were in the
ascendancy. Russell iiad several dele
gates of his own, but was not able to get
them to throw their votes to Walters
until it was proven to them that any
other combination would result disas
trously to the hopes of the candidate.
The slate was mended again before
dinner, hut even then it would not go
through unlesß some of the other two
candidates' delegates would go into it
after the first ballot. Enough promises
from Wernet and Dotter men were se
cured to givo them hopes and the
Walters people again took the field pro
claiming victory.
The delegates thought it was about
time to organize, and the work was sus
pended for a short while.
.Senatorial Convention.
The convention to name a candidate
for senator was a tame affair. Scarcely
one-half the delegates could he induced
to leave the neighborhood of the hotels,
and those who went to the hall rushed
the business through with all possible
speed. A boomlet for Matt Long was
hatched on Monday night, hut the lower
end men were divided and it died before
daybreak. Some of the Foster men were
anxious that his name should be pre
sented, Riid were greatly disappointed
when they learned they could not pay
him their respects until some other day.
The only name offered was that of J.
Kidgway Wright, of Wilkes-liarre, and
lie was nominated by acclamation.
Morning Session.
Vice Chairman John S. McGroarty
called the convention to order at 10.40
A. M„ and after roll-call by Secretary T.
C. Mullally the committees on resolu
tions, permanent organization and con
tested seats were selected. Nothing
further was done at this session. The
delegates were anxious to return to the
battle-field around the Square, and a
motion to adjourn until 2 P. M. went
through without a dissenting voice. '
Very little work was done hy the
heelers before dinner. Everybody seem
ed to he waiting for the afternoon, when
the delegates might he in a more per
suasive humor. At 1 o'clock the groups
began gathering again. No change was
noticeable in the crowd regarding the
McGinty-Hines fight. The former's
forces ivero confident and appeared to
lie resting on their arms, hut the Mines
contingent was as active and smiled
sweetly when questioned about the out
look. They wore doing effective work
and very little of it became known to
tho recorder until it was too late to re
pair the break.
Walters' men also had a bright look
about them, and a little investigation
showed that a heavy inroad had been
made during noon hour on the English
delegation. A counter-assault was made
hy the latter upon the crowd, but it met
with little success. Men who had work
ed for English all night were now doubt
ful whether he would strengthen the
ticket as much as Walters, and from this
position they found it easy to shift
under the Sugarloaf candidate's banner.
When the loss was counted up English
still thought lie had enough to carry
him through, and it was with this feel
ing of sure success that all the candi
dates and delegates started again for
Music Hall at 2 o'clock.
Afternoon Session.
After calling the convention to order
the committee on permanent organiza
tion reported as follows:
Chairman—John T. Lenahan.
Vice presidents—lsaac Livingstone,
F. C. Mosier, Henry Oplinger, P. L.
Liudeman, Michael Lynch and Geo. W.
Drum.
Secretaries—Tliomas D. Sliea, M. H.
McAniffe, Geo. Lubrecht.C. F. Mcllugh,
John S. Harding and T. C. Mullally.
Tellers—L. G. Ilart, A. C. Campbell,
A. C. Good, Hyron Shoemaker and C. F.
Bohan.
Mr. Lenahan took his seat after a neat
speech, and when the committees report
ed he called for nominations for con
gress. Joseph J. McGinty, of Wilkes-
Barre, was nominated by A. M. McNulty,
of South lleberton, who made a short
but forcible address, giving reasons for
McGinty's nomination and predicting a
rousing majority from the fourth dis
trict for the whole ticket if its choice
was named. He was liberally applauded
wlien he concluded. Hon. William 11.
Hines, of Wilkes-Barre, was nominated
wwum*. i n tiwaawar
by John McGahran, of the same city.
The ballot was:
Ifines 1151
McGinty .. 97
The result was received with great
applause and cheers, and it was several
minutes before the chairman could
restore order among the delegates and
spectators.
Voting; for Sheriff.
The next nomination was for sheriff.
William Walters, of Sugarloaf township,
was nominated by P. F. Fallon, of
Hazleton; Thomas English, of Pittston,
by P. J. Doyle, of Pittston; Nathan
Dotter, of Wilkes-Ilarre, by P. C. Honey
well, and Edward Wernet, of Nanticoke,
by T. D. Shea.
The excitement rose during roll-call,
and as one or another favorite forged
ahead it was loudly cheered. The ballot
was:
Walters 681
English 60j
Dotter 47
Wernet 33
There being no choice the second was
taken, as follows:
English 71
Walters 684
Dotter 43
Wernet 314
Wernet was dropped on tho third
ballot, and the vote stood :
English 86
Walters 77
Dotter 47
LnHt Ballot for Slierifl'.
Dotter was dropped, and the fourth and
last ballot brought on the most exciting
incidents of the day. Everything was
in an uproar as the delegates and friends
of each candidate ran to and fro, advis
ing, threatening and coaxing one another
to change. When order was restored
Secretary Mullally began calling the
roll, and as each delegate rose and an
nounced his choice the vote was greeted
with applause from his side. When
Hazleton and Hazle township gave solid
delegations for Walters the latter went
far ahead, but English was up and pass
ed him again when Pittston and neigh
boring districts voted. It was nip and
tuck until the two men came to Wilkes-
Barre, where Walters took a big lead—
too much to be overcome this year.
The result was:
Walters 11l
English.. 102
The nomination of Walters was made
unanimous on a motion of Mr. English.
Russell for Recorder.
For recorder of deeds Michael C. Rus
sell, of Edwardsville, and Dr. E. A. San
tee were named, but before the balloting
had gone far Santee's name was with
drawn and Russell's nomination made
unanimous.
For coroner a spirited fight had been
going on all day, and if it were not for
the lug battles monopolizing the field it
would have been very interesting. Dr.
Trimmer, Jr., of Harvey's Lake, a son
of Dr. Trimmer, of White Ilaven, had
the inside track upon Dr. Gillespie, of
Avoca, and Dr. Locker, of Plymouth.
Many of the delegates had left, but the
lower end men stayed in order to make
certain of Trimmer. The vote was:
Trimmer 126
Gillespie 49
Locker 13
For surveyor James B. Crockett, of
Ross township, was nominated by'accla
mation.
Resolutions.
The resolutions adopted are as fol
lows:
The regularly accredited delegates of the
Democratic party of Luzerne county, in coun
ty convention assembled, hereby resolve:
First, That the Democratic candidates for
president nnd vice president of the United
States have by their honorable, capable and
patriotic services in the past conclusively prov
ed their title to the respect, confidence and sup
port of the American people. In G rover Cleve
land, of New York, and Oen. Adli E. Steven
son, of Illinois, the Democratic party has stan
dard bearers whose private and public records
are amplest guarantee that the interests of the
country will be safe and must prosier in thetai
keeping.
Second, That the platform adopted at Chica
go points the only straight path to continued
national greatness, industrial ihmicc and gen
eral prosperity. Its manly utterances cover
every pending important political Issue and are
accorded our unqualified approval.
Third, That the many strikes and industrial
disturbances of the recent part were the direct
result of the odious Republican policy, pur
sued through ull the history of that party, of
legislating exclusively for the enlargement ot'
the profits of capital, the multiplication of
monopolies, the consequent discouragement of
individual enterprise nnd the filling of the
country with hordes of the lowest classes of
Eastern and Southern Europeans and Asiatics,
whose servile presence is a constant and dan
gerous menace to the prosperity of the Ameri
can workingman, und the safety of the Ameri
can nation. Tho five hundred strikes in the
so-called protected industries that have follow
ed the enactment of tho MoKinley tariff, the
fact that never for one moment since that
enactment has the country been without one
or more such strikes., is sufficient nnd conclu
sive evidence of the demoralizing nnd destruc
tive tendencies of such legislation.
Fourth, That we pledge the votes of the
Democracy of Luzerne solidly to the candi
dates this day nominated und commend them
us men fully fitted for the lmsitions for which
they have been severally named.
Candidates for the Legislature.
The Democratic convention of the sec
ond legislative district met at Wyoming
on Tuesday. J. S. Koons, of Hunting
don, was nominated for representative.
The Democrats of the first legislative
district, comprising the city of Wilkes-
Barre, nominated Captain William H.
B rod head for representative on Monday
night. _____

FREELAND, LUZEI
AN ILLEGAL COMBINE.
CHANCELLOR M'GILL DECIDES THE
READING DEAL TO BE SO.
He Urants a Preliminary Injunction and
Under Its Provisions the New Jersey
Central Road Must Resume Control of
All Ita Properties and Franclilaea.
TRENTON, Aug. 2ft.— Chancellor McGill's
ilociaion in the case of tho state against the
railroads forming tho Reading coal combine
has boon filed.
The state's contentions that the lease of
the Central to the Port Reading is illegal;
that the tripartite agreement is in violation
of law, and the combine is against the policy
of tho state, because it tends to tho monopo
ly of a public nocessity, aro all upheld and
the preliminary injunction prayed for is
granted.
In the course of his decision the chancellor
says corporate bodies that eugago in public
occupations are created by tho state upon
the hypothesis that they will be a public
bonoflt. They enjoy privileges that indi
viduals cannot have. While the state con
fers special privileges upon the favorites, it
at the same time exacts from them duties
which also tend to tho public welfare. Such
corporations hold their powers in trust for
the public weal.
Disguise and Kvaslon.
The chancellor says the attornoy gonoral,
on behalf of the people, has the election in
a case of this kind to proceed at law to for
feit the charter or in equity for a restraint
of the excess. There aiff peculiar features
in the transaction that evince a public dan
ger much more serious than appears in the
mere transfer of corporate duties to per
formance by a foreign corporation. The
parties interested constitute two of the six
great anthracite coal carriers of the coun
try. Through the leasing of the Ohio Valley
three of these are controlled hy the combi
nation. The proof shows that there arc lo
calities in the state which formerly had the
advautago of competition between these
allied roads, but now are subject to tho
monopoly which this lease affords.
It is true that the co-oporation of the
other coal roads has not been secured. By
this leaso only one competition is silenced,
and only a little more than one-half of the
entire coal region is controlled. It is only
the second step in the direction of monop
oly, the first being the lease of tho Lehigh
Valley railroad. It is to be remembered,
however, that the attorney general may
have hiß injunction vhen the ultra vires
act tends or yt nature to produce public
injury. •" * -
Tho aoßwers deny that either the Phila
delphia and Reading or the Central owns
any coal lands or produces or deals in coal.
That is true; but at the same time it is ad
mitted that the Roading owns a majority
of the capital stock of the Reading Coal and
Iron company, and that tho Central owns
a majority of the capital stock of the Le
high and Wilkesbarro Coal company. What
is this but disguise and evasion! Whatever
may be the nominal ownership or the legal
title for the substantial purposes of the in
jury apprehended and tho attorney gen
eral's complaint, the railroad companies
stand lis the owners of tho coal land in this
court.
Disastrous Monopoly.
The chancellor says that while tho denials
of this may be literally true, such allega
tions without explanation and in tho face
of the facts adverted to, savor of an evasion
which disentitles them to that force which is
usually accorded to the denials of responsive
answers.
Upon preliminary hearings here, the
chancellor continues, we have great ooal
dealers complaining that they are not suffi
ciently paid for the product of their mines,
combining so that already they control
more than one-half of the ooal fields upon
which this state depends for fuel, and look
ing to tho co-operation of tho remaining
anthracite coal producers to effect u change
in tho price of their output so that they
may have more satisfactory returns from
their investments.
To say that those conditions do not tend
to a disastrous monopoly in coal would bo
an insult to intelligence. It is possible that
such a monopoly may be used as the defend
ants suggest, to introduce economies and
cheapon coal, but it does violence to our
knowledge of human nature to expect such
a result.
In conclusion the chancellor says: "Tho
commodity in which those companies deal
is a necessary of life in this state. It is the
principal fuel of its homes and factories.
The slightest increase in its price iB felt by
a population of hundreds of thousands of
persons, for their necessity compels them
to pay that increase. If once a complete
monopoly be established by the destruction
of competition, whether that be through
leaso or co-operation, tho promoters and
Bharers in it may have whatever price their
cupidity suggests. Tho disaster which will
follow cannot be measured. It will per
meate tho entire community—furnaces,
forges, factories and homes—leaving in its
trail murmurs of discontent with a govern
ment which will tolerate, it, and all the
other evil effects of oppression."
The Scope of the Injunction.
When, therefore, it appears that such
corporation is unmindful of its plain duty
nd acts prejudically to the public in order
to make undue gains and profits for its
stockholders, it uses its power in a manner
not contemplated by the law which con
fers them. Tho lease to the Port Reading
was made not only without legal sanction,
but in defiance of an expressly prohibitory
statute.
The chancellor defines the bounds of the
injunction which he grants, saying, "I will
continue the present injunction to final
hearing, adding to it, however, the further
direction that the defendants, their officers
and agents do desist from further perform
ing and carrying into effect the leaso and
tripartite agreement; and that the Port
Reading and the Philadelphia and Reading
companies do desist and refrain from con
tinuing to control the property and fran
chises of the Central, and from otherwise
Intermeddling therewith; and that the Cen
tral do refrain from permitting tho Port
Raadiug and the Philadelphia and Reading
to Use, control or operate ita roads and
franchises; and that the Central do again
resume control of all its propertyjond Xrau-

LUZERNE REPUBLICANS.
Aspirants for the Nominations Skirmish
ing Arouml After Delegates.
The Republican political situation is
summed up in the following brief dis
patch, sent out from Wilkes-Barre on
Monday: The Republican delegate
elections will be held next Saturday, and
the leaders of the party are beginning to
make some stir in the fight. No new
candidates have appeared for congress,
and lion. C. B. Foster lias alone been
making a canvass of tho county. Re
publican sentiment is stronger than ever
in favor of Hon. Charles A. Miner, and,
although he is making no effort what
ever for delegates, it is evident that a
great many districts will send Miner
men to the convention, and these will
support him on the belief that he would
he the stronger candidate and the more
likely to win.
For the Republican nomination for
sheriff there will he a contest. The can
didates who are working for delegates
are James Norris, of Wilkes-liarre; E.
W. Garrison, in Shickshinny; Dr. Sul
fide, of Nanticoke and John McMurtrie,
of Wilkes-Barre, with the probability
that Phil Boyle, of Hazleton, will turn
up ill the convention with a strong fol
lowing from the lower end, although his
candidacy will be handicapped hy the
fact that Hazleton will ask for the sena
torship. There is but little contention
for the legislative nominations in any of
the districts, and in some of tliein there
will be no contests worth mentioning.
Killed at Kbervale.
Francesca Spina, an Italian, working
for King A Scott at Kbervale, was killed
on Tuesday morning while riding up the
slope. lie was sitting in the car with
several others who were going home
from tho night shift, and at one place in
the slope the roof is only about ten
inches above the cross-piece of the car.
When passing under this Spina rose up.
lie was caught and thrown to tho back
end of the car, and passed between the
roof and the cross-piece, doubling him
up and causing instant death. Contrac
tor Scott notified Inspector Lewis, who
ordered Deputy Coroner Buckley to em
panel a jury and make an investigation.
The following jury was chosen: J. P.
McDonald, J. J. Gillespie, John Welsh,
Frank O'Donnell, Francis Brennan,
Dominick O'Donnell. They viewed the
scene of the accident, heard the testi
mony of the men who were riding on
the car with Spina and returned a ver
dict of accidental death.
Going to tho Worhl'H Fair.
The miniature coal mine and breaker
at Glen Onoko, owned and operated for
the oast nine years by Lyman H. Howe,
of Wilkes-Barre, has been purchased by
the Philadelphia A Reading Railroad
Company. The purpose is to ship it to
Chicago for exhibition at the worlds fair.
It is a remarkable piece of mechanism.
The process of mining and preparing
anthracite coal for market is showm in
a miniature form, and it will prove a
great attraction at Chicago.
Reading Relief Department.
Arrangements have recently been
made by the Reading Railroad to extend
the Relief Department of the road so as
to include the employes of tho Lehigh
Valley. Circulars showing the terms
anu methods of the department have
been issued and the Lehigh Valley peo
pel asked to join. This is looked upon
as the first step to break up. the labor
unions on the road. The emyloyes will
he enrolled as fast as the necessary ex
aminations can bo made.
Special Meeting.
A special meeting of the Tigers Athletic
Association will be held on Friday even
ing, September 2, at 7.30 o'clock. Plans
of the new building to be erected for the
organization will be decided upon, and
every member must attend.
