honorable gentleman, nevertheless one

their displeasure and trouble was prob
ably avoided by promptly adjourning.
CANDIDATE DUPED.
Republican Nominee for Justice of the
I'eaoe Named Too Late.
In the county commisioners' office at
Wllkesbarre, yesterday afternoon, the
certificate of nomination of Charles Bocz
kowski, the Republican nominee for
justice of the peace, was presented, and
objection? against Its acceptance were
immediately filed by Hugh A. Shovlin.
Esq . the Democratic candidate
The objections set forth the fact that
the office of justice is a county oflico, for
which a certificate of nomination inn?l
be filed twenty-eight days before elec
tion. The commissioners, after consult
ing their attorney, sustained the objec
tions, and refused to accept the certifi
cate, consequently Mr. Boczkowski'?
name will not appear In the Republican
cofhinn.
An effort made to have tho name of
tho candidate printed on the ballot by
filing nomination papers disclosed the
fact that the latter must be filed twenty
one days before election. Yesterday
was also too late to take this step and as
a result no name can be printed on the
ballot in opposition to Squire Shovlin.
When the now? reached town last
evening it naturally created consider
able displeasure among Mr. Boczkow
ski's friends and among those Republi
cans who were not aware of the law
bearing on the subject.
Other aspirants for the Republican
nomination for justice had been given a
"tip" on tho subject and would not per
mit their names to be presented at the
convention. Tho friends of Mr. Bocz
kowski, however, wera not made ac
quainted with the facts, and now they
feel that they have have been hood
winked.
The party did not contain much har
mony before yesterday, and this latest
blow, the holding of a convention too
late to place the candidate on the ticket,
is not calculated to make the Republi
can? very enthusiastic. What causes
the deepest chagrin is the fact that the
blow was delivered from within the
party ranks.
Drury Files His Reply.
Senator Drury, of Luzerne, has filed
with the senate his answer to the pro
test of S. S. Staples against tho seating
of Mr. Drury. He denies as false the
charge that ho received 81,500. and
gave a pledge in writing wherein he
agreed, if elected, not to vote for Mat
thow Stanley Quay for United Slates
senator, or to participate in the caucus
of the Republican party to select a can
didate for United States senator, or to
support any person whom Matthew
Stanley Quay might favor. II says he
never received said sum of $1,500, or
any other sum of money, or anything of
value, for any such purpose.
Fire Engine Tested.
The fire engine brought here on
Tuesday by the LaFrance Company, of
Elmira, N. Y., to be given a trial by the
borough, was tested yesterday after
noon. Connection was made with the
plug at Centro and Walnut streets and
a stream was thrown over the ball on
the Municipal building. At Centro and
Front streets the stream easily went
over the Oswald and DeFierro buildings.
The hose was also taken to the Hill,
with the engine standing on Centre
street, and a strong stream was thrown.
Later the engine was taken on the
Hill, where a satisfactory test was
gain given.
Sleighing Party.
A jolly sleighing party left town yes
terday for Laurytown, where the day
was pleasantly spent. The party was
composed of Mrs. Hugh O'Donnell,
Mrs. Ollie Mason, Mrs. J. W. Miller,
Mrs. George Fllby, Mrs. W. J. Sands,
Mrs. John McGeady, Mrs. A. B. Smith,
Mrs. Ollie Koch, Mrs. Irwin Smith and
Mrs. Kugler.
Thomas Smith was the driver of the
sleigh and he intimates that he has some
good jokes to tell at the expense of the
party.
Killed at Easton.
Edmund Smith, aged 43 year?, was
struck by a train Tuesday evening in
the Lehigh Valley yards at Easton,
where he was employed as a laborer.
The train took off both of his legs and
the unfortunate man died at 3 o'clock
next morning In the hospital. Mr.
Smith leaves a wife and six children.
He was a son of Andrew Smith, of
Ceraenton, and was a former resident of
Sandy Run.
"When the grip left me tny nerves
and heart were badly affected; but I be
gan taking Dr. Miles' Nervine and Heart
Cure and was soon all right,"—Wua.

MINERS ADJOURN.
The National Convention at Indianapolis
Makes Many Change* in Laws,
The twelfth annual convention of the
I United Mine Workers of America ended
at Indianapolis on Wednesday evening.
The absorption of the various auxiliary
trades and the centralization of power
in the hands of the national officers ac
complished by tills convention makes
the union stronger than ever.
Important action was taken providing
that when any member is suspended or
discharged by an operator it shall be
the duty of the mine committee to im
mediately investigate the case, and, if
the discharged employe is found blame
less. it shall be immediately reported to
the sub-district and district presidents.
If they find the report as stated they
hall immediately order the reinstate
ment of the discharged employe. This
places in the hands of these officers the
power to order a suspension of work at
any time their judgment may dictate.
After April I next local monthly dues
shall not be loss than 25 cents a mem
ber, together with all assessments levied
by the national organization. Should a
member allow himself to become three
months in arrears he shall no longer be
considered a member and shall not be
reinstated until he shall pay a sum
equal to three months' dues and one
half the established initiation fee.
The convention refused to go into the
election of the two additional members
of the executive board from the anthra
cite district. It is expected that Presi
dent Mitchell, who has been empowered
to (ill all vacancies, will name the two
anthracite members of the board.
In the future the pass word shall be
sent out quarterly instead of semi
annually, as is now the case. This was
ordered because many ex-members who
have the pass word are able to gain ad
mission into locals outside the districts
where they formerly belonged.
ANTHRACITE MATTERS.
The convention refused to indorse any
radical scale demands for the anthra
cite region, believing the wiser policy
will be to bend evory energy toward a
peaceful settlement on April 1, in order
to give the anthracite miners an oppor
tunity to recover the earnings they lost
during the late strike.
As the anthracite situation now stands
the national officials, by and with the
consent of the national executive board,
are empowered to endeavor to arrange
a joint conference in Hazleton on March
12, with the anthracite operators. In
the event the operators refuse to meet
the miners, the executive board will
then outline a policy.
If they are unable to reach a satisfac
tory basis, and a strike seems inevitable,
then the district presidents at the head
of the twenty sub-bodies composing the
United Mine Workers will be called into
conference, and upon their vote will de
pend the policy of peace or war in the
anthracite region. The policy of the
bituminous leaders is plainly for a con
servative policy in the anthracite and
all other regions.
Three days prior to the date set for
the proposed joint conference at Hazle
ton, the anthracite miners will hold a
convention at that place.
MITCHELI/s POLICY.
In reply to a letter to President John'
Mitchell, concerning threatened trouble
in the anthracite Hold next spring, Rev.
F. S. Phillips, of Ilazleton, received the
following letter:
4 *l fully realize the necessity of our
organization using its great strength on
conservative, reasonable lines, and so
far as I am able to Influence its actions
a conciliatory, conservative policy will
be pursued. I look forward with hope
that the anthracite operators and miners
will accept more humane and progres
sive methods of adjusting their differ
ences than we were compelled to pursue
last fall, and I am sure that the miners'
organization will not invite another in
dustrial contest if it can be honorably
avoided."
Alleged Murderers Go Free.
The nine-year-old son of Michael De-
Cosma. who told the district attorney
that he had seen two men murder
Modena near Drifton, last April, now
seems unable to repeat the story and the
two prisoners, Tony Lombardo and
Jack Spalone, were discharged on Wed
nesday. The lad's father, who was ac
cessed of being an accessory after the
fact, was also released.
At a preliminary hearing it was charg
ed that the boy's mother and others had
threatened to beat him if he told any
ono, and the authorities last July took
him away from his mother and have
since kept him in jail.
The most soothing, healing and, anti
septic application over devised is De-
