W. H. DAYIES ELECTED.
WILL BE DELEGATE TO THE REPUB
LICAN STATE CONVENTION.
In a Three-Cornered Fight the Mine In
spector Won on the Tenth llallot—A
Hot Convention—Heelers Were Numer
ous and lloodle Flowed Freely.
William H. Da vies, mine inspector of
this district, was selected on Monday as
delegate from the Fourth legislative
district to the next Republican state
convention. Ilis election was accom
plished by the lavish use of money and
the influence of his position and that of
James E. Roderick, chief of the state
bureau of mining.
The convention was the most corrupt
gathering that has ever been held in
the Fourth district. Bribery and boodle
stalked triumphantly through the hall
and but little effort was made by the
heelers to mask their nefarious work.
The two factions of the Quay machine
fought a money light. The Roderick
faction was too strong for the Kline
crowd, consequently they won when the
price demanded by certain delegatos was
paid. The anti-Quay people apparently
had but a limited amount to invest in
votes, and they made very little head
way for Drake after the balloting began.
All the Republican politicians of lower
Luzerne and some from Carbon county
were on the ground early and badgered
and bulldozed obstinate delegates from
the time of their arrival in town until
the winning ballot was taken.
M A NIK ACTURED ENTHUSIASM.
There were some honest delegates and
honest workers present, who supported
their favorites from choice, but this class
was in a decided minority and could
not stand up against the manufactured
enthusiasm and howling which the
Roderick machine ground out iu un
limited quantities.
Money was everywhere and beer was
bought for ail who w , !<! shout for
Davies—at the rate of on rink per
shout. Emissaries wi ut through the
hall lilling the tanks of the eh • riT> and
inciting them to !■■•*! long and loud
whenever a Davie- y. • red.
From the star the I ivies side had
the crowd with them, but on! because!
on that sido lay the most money and
beer. Had Tomboy r Drake uioro of
the "stuff't out, the cheers and the
votes would I •: a gone to him.
FI I {NT TEST OK -TUKNGTII.
The convention. in rief, was a dis
grace to the Republican party, and
man} of the delegates and the heelers
disgra i themselves and our town by
th .r rondo, t The usual claims and
boasts were current, before the conven
tion wa called to order by District
Chairman W L. Richards. The first
test of tlength was for the chairman
ship. Phi. p Brior was named by Davies
men and \V. F. Adams by the Drake-
Bomtjoy factions. The latter won by a
vote or '-M to 11), which showed that the
anbi-Davies people had a majority of
the delegates.
11. \V. ila worth was selected as secre
tary A contest from East Foster was
settled by giving the seat to Owen
Mover, a Drake follower, which again
showed the Davies crowd to bo in the
minority.
SNYDKR NOT INDORSED.
A committee on resolutions was ap
pointed and delayed proceedings half
an hour by wrangling over a paragraph
indorsing Representative Snyder. The
Drake men wanted to indorse his stand
against Quay, but their wishes did not
prevail and Snyder must get along
through life without this indorsement.
The resolutions indorsed the course of
the national administration, and par
ticularly President McKinley's course in
the conduct of the war. Senators Quay
and Ponrose were lauded for their al
legiance to the party in the conduct of
state and national affairs, while Gover
nor Stone's administration was praised
as wiso and economical. Ex-Congress
man Williams was indorsed. Register
Iliram Kuntz was indorsed for renomi
nation.
When the nominations for state dele
gate were declared open the Cottage
hall was lillod to the doors and the
thermometers registered 120 degrees on
the stage.
GETTING DOWN TO W'ORIv.
The names presented were: Charles
Botnboy, Hazleton; YV. 11. Davies, Hazle
ton; Augustus Drake, Milnesvillo.
A lengthy squabble over the system
to bo followed in voting then took place.
Some delegates wanted a secret ballot,
but this was howled down, principally
by the spectators, and open ballots were
made the rule.
The first ballot resulted: Davies, 21;
Drake, 14; Bomboy, 10. The second
was the same.
A motion for a recess and another to
drop the lowest candidate were defeated.
At this point the "bookies" began
work in earnest. Delegates wero drag
ged from the hall and were reported
"fixed," but the thirjl ballot showed but
slight change—a loss of one for Davies
and one of an incroaso for Drake. The
fourth ballot was the same.
The fifth ballot was the same as the
first. The sixth showed a loss of one
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1599.
for Bomboy—ono of his delegates was
being "seen" by a Carbon man.
The seventh and eighth were the same
as the fourth, but there wero signs of a
break and the heelers went hustling
again.
TRIED TO CONSOLIDATE.
The Drake and Bomboy leaders held
a hurried consultation and agreed to con
solidate to defeat Davies, their delegates
in the meantime blocking proceedings
by remaining out of the hall until the
conference was ended.
The compact could not be carried out,
however, as tho Davies wing had an
option on several of Bomboy s d legates
for second choice.
The ninth ballot had no change.
When this ballot was finished the Davies
leaders pounced upon tho delegates,
hurried them out of the hall aud when
they returned broad smiles chased one
another across the countenances of the
tho inspector's friends.
The tenth ballot was: Davies, 23;
Drake, 15; Bomboy. 0.
Davies' election was accomplished by
the desertion of Bomboy by John W.
Scott, George Depew and John Yeager,
of the First, Second and Third wards of
Hazleton.
FREELAND MEN WERE FIRM.
Four of the six votes cast for Bomboy
on the last ballot came from Freeland.
The local Bomboy delegates wero S. De-
IMerro, Eli Crawford, W. J. Morgan and
G. Bonomo. They voted for their can
didate without change from the first to
tho tenth ballot. A. 11. Bleckley and
West Drasher were for Davies. They
also voted without change from begin
ning to end.
Freeland and Foster had the most re
spected sets of delegates in the conven
tion. They voted for the candidates of
their choice throughout and could not
be swayed at any cost.
During the balloting the price of
votes gradually rose from $25 to SIOO
per vote. Bomboy was offered before
and during the convention SI,OOO to
withdraw, which he refused.
IN OTHER DISTRICTS.
Republican state delegates favoring
Quay, it is claimed, were elected in all of
the six districts of Luzerne county on
Monday, although the Second is some
what doubtful.
In the First district convention, held
in Wilkosburro, F. W. Wbeaton was
elected delegate. The convention in the
Second district was held at Dallas, and j
San ford Steel, of Forty Fort, was elect
ed by acclamation. In the Third dis
trict Samuel Scholing was named.
In the Fifth district convention, |at
Pittston, Thomas Ayars, of Miners
Mills, was elected without apposition.
The convention in the Sixth district was
held at Nescopeck, and Arnold Williams
was elected without opposition.
Will Life He Worth Living?
Prof. C. Coles, editor of Kingston
Stvrins and Sign*, makes some weird and
dreadful predictions for June. Here
are a few of the terrible calamities
which will overtake the earth this
month:
"We have reasons to believe that the
general health pf the people will be bad,
that malaria and fevers will predomi
nate; that discontent, rumors of wars
and great discord generally will prevail;
that the cereal markets will bo subject
to bad breaks; that the first part of the
mouth will prove a very unfavorable
time to start now enterprises; that great
conflagrations, accidents and awful
crimes will surprise the people; that
rabid animals, diseases of horses and
cattle will annoy tho farmer; that plant
lice, caterpillars, locusts, grasshoppers
and army worms will overrun vegeta
tion in many sections of tho country;
that heat waves and cold waves will
surprise us; that destructive storms of
rain and hail will destroy Holds of
grain; that high winds and electrical
storms will cause much damage; that
cyclones will sweep tho Western and
Southern states, and hurricanes will
sweep the seas; that the foreign coun
tries will give birth to many evil depre
dations, and great floods and earth
quakes may be recorded."

Sidepath Com in Imp loner*.
The move for better paths and roads

shape on Saturday when sidepath com
missioners were appointed by tho court
as follows: Harry C. Mason, three
years; John R. Sharpless, two years; E.
G. Kern merer, one year.
The law under which the appoint
ments were made was passed by tho re

new law provides for the construction
and maintenance of sidepaths along
highways of this commonwealth for the

sioners, prescribing their duties and the

Complete accounts of tho meetings held

published on the fourth page.
Death of M. E. Fritzinger.
I Milton E. Fritzinger died on Monday
in Pittsburg, where he was stricken
with typhoid fever five weeks ago. lie
was a resident of town from boyhood
until shortly over a year ago, when he
accepted work as trainman 011 a rail
road at Pittsburg. When he became
sick the Railroaders' Rrotherhood did
everything within the scope of human
power to save him, but failed.
The deceased is a son of Owen Frit-:
zinger. He was familiarly known as
'•Eli," and is survived by his parents
and the following brothers and sisters:
William and Jerry Fritzinger, and Mrs.
Daniel Shelhamer, Mrs. William Rirk
beck and Mrs. George Jacrpiit. He was
aged 27 years.
The remains arrived here on Tuesday
evening and the scene at his father's
homo was heartrending when the corpse
was brought in. The funeral will take
place this afternoon at 2 o'clock. In
terment will be made in Freeland ceme
tery.
This is the second son which was
brought home dead from the West to
Mr. and Mrs. Fritzinger. Six years ago
Wesley, while employed at railroading
in New Mexico, died there and was
brought here for interment.
To liicreaim the Building Fund.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Mining and Mechanical Institute last
evening the following gentlemen were
selected as a committee to wait upon
the citizens of Freeland and solicit sub
scriptions for the building fund of the
institute: R. J. Dever, Jonah Evans,
A. Oswald and W. E. Martin.
As the town will reap considerable
benefit, financially and in prestige, by
the erection of a building which will be
used as a seat of learning for all the
young men of the anthracite coal field
who desire to increase their knowledge
of mining and mechanical works, it is
but proper that the town should contri
bute its share toward establishing the
institute in a home of its own.
It is the intention to model the insti
tute on the lines of the Lehigh univer
sity and to give education free or as
nearly free as possible. It is also pro
vided that in case the institute should
fail in its work the building and land
shall become the property of Freeland
borough, to be used forever for educa
tional purposes.
The committee will call upon the
citizens in a few days.
Manufacturing a Now Coal Jig;.
From the Tamaqua Register.
Work has been commenced by the
Eagle Iron Works on a now coal jig
which has been invented by Samuel
Nevins, of Summit Hill. The jig lias
been thoroughly tested and the results
attained were beyond the greatest ex
pectations of the Inventor.
The trial of the new jig proved three
points of superiority over all others now
in use: It will clean more coal in a
given time; it will reduce the amount of
slato from 1 to I}<J per cent and It
works smoothly, causing but little wear
011 the breaker or the machine itself,
whereas other jigs almost tear the joists
of a building apart, besides wearing
themselves out in a short time.
In a short time It Is expected that their
demand will cause a big increase in the
working force of this industry and
another impetus will be given the pros
perity of our town.
