Factions Unable to Agree and Each Places Candi dates lof Its Own in the Field. By far the most exciting political con vention ever held in Luzerne county took place yesterday at Wilkosbarre, where the Democratic delegates had gathered to name their county candi dates for the coming election. The convention, if the proceedings can be termed as such, was a disgrace to the people of the county. C. F. Bohan, the county chairman, called the meeting to order at 11 o'clock. Two minutes later the uproar began and continued without interruption until ovening. The two factions of the party, led personally by John T. Lonahan and John M. Garman, wero arrayed against each other, and the leaders and their lieutenants hurled invectives and threats against one another ail day long. A motion to suspend roll-call until after the report of the committee on credentials started the battle. The chairman declared the motion carried, despite appeals from his decision, and as a result each faction held a conven tion in the same building at the same time. The ticket nominated by the Garman followers is as follows: Judge—T. It. Martin, VVilkesbarrc. Congress—Asa K. Do Witt, Plymouth. District attorney —Rush Trcscott, Wilkesbarre. Prothonotary—S. E. Jones, West Haz leton. Clerk of the courts —John Dwycr, Wilkosbarre. Jury commissioner—J. T. Rice, Pitts ton. Lenahan's followers named the fol lowing candidates: Judge—Stanley Woodward, Wilkes barre. Congress—Stanley Davenport, Ply mouth. District attorney—John Shea, Wilkes barro. Prothonotary—Paul Daach, Wilkes barre. Clork of the courts —Edward Lynch, Plymouth. Jury commissioner—John Hart, Pitts ton. The court of Dauphin county will bo called upon to decide which tickot is entitled to appear in the Democratic column of the official ballot.

I No Change in Situation. | There has been no change in the labor situation since Monday. It is said that there are hopes of the employers and employes coming together, but the details are not yet public property. Labor men have been given to under stand that several of tho smaller firms and corporations and some of the indi vidual operators are not averse to a con ference to discuss the miners' griev ances, but those backed by railroad interests are opposed to doing anything themselves or allowing other operators to do anything which might have a tendency to encourage the mon. Tho members of the United Mine Workers are obeying the instructions of President Mitchell to tho letter by re maining at work, but they make no secret of tho report that a strike will follow if present efforts on the part of their leaders aud outside parties should fail. In its daily comment on financial and like subjects, a Philadelphia paper devoted solely to these interests con tained tho following significant para graph yesterday: "In connection with the strike talk, it is of tho utmost significance that a high official of one of the leading an thracite roads when asked if tho com panies had not made up their minds to (ight to tho bitter end, and that there fore tho mon would have to bo the first to yield, replied: 'I aui not so sure about that.' "It Is not believed that there will be an anthracite coal strike at this time or before the November election. The Re publican campaign managers will see to it that the coal miners do not become too restless. "In connection with recent statements to the effect that tho anthracite miners had been egged on to their present posi tion toward their employers by bitumin ous men a prominent soft coal operator said: 'Such statements are perfectly absurd. We cannot handle all tho busi ness offered to us now, so there would be no object for us to interfere with an thracite.' " Died From His Injuries. Peter G. Smith, of Oakdale, died yes terday afternoon at the ago of 65 years. Some weeks ago Mr. Smith fell down No. 4 slope at Oakdale. He entered the Miners' hospital and was discharged, apparently cured, lie proceeded to his homo at Oakdale, but several, days later his limbs became paralyzed, resulting in his death. Deceased was a native of Sugarloaf township, and resided there tho greater part of his life. Ho is sur vived by two brothers and one sister, viz: Jacob P., of Ohio; Josiah, of Hazleton, and Mary, of Sullivan county, Pa. The funeral will leave Oakdale via trolly cars on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment at Hazleton. Could Not Organize.
