Contest Papers Not Yet
Filed by the Controller.
Politicians Trying to Patch
Up the Republican Break.
Today's Wllkesbarre Record says:
"The appearance about the court house
yesterday of Arthur E. Dick, of Ilazle
ton, the nominee for controller, and
several other politicians of more or less
note led those not on the inside to be
lieve that a settlement of the controller
ship muddle was pending. While ne
gotiations were on, nothing was accom
plished and the politicians went home
much disappointed. Another effort will
bo made, with more prospects of success.
"There was a report in the court
house corridors that Controller Lloyd
had been offered 81,000 in cash and a
deputyship to gracefully stop down and
out and fall in line for Mr. Dick. This
was denied by both partios to the bar
gain. The controller has had his con
test papers ready for more than two
weeks, and as he has neither filed them
nor stated just what stand he will take,
the public is at a loss to account for a
delay.
Some of the court house leaders wish
to avert, if possible, an airing in court,
while others do not care a rap what the
controller decides upon, and as one of
the latter stated yesterday, are perfectly
willing to allow the band to play.
Monday Is Card Day.
Monday next is card day for tho
United Mine Workers of District No 7.
On this date the working cards of the
union miners in the Lehigh region and
Panther Creek valley will bo inspected
at the collieries by committees appointed
for this purpose.
With the exception of a vory few, the
employes of every mine in the district
are members of the United Mine Work
ers. It Is the desire of the officials of
the union, and in some places the desire
is shared by tho operators, to gather
into the organization every-inan who is
eligible to join.
Those who have so far neglected to
make application for membership should
delay no longer, as tho union mon will
not work with non-union employes after
Monday noxt. Another reason for join
ing at tho earliest opportunity Is the
fact that in the near future tho admis
sion foe in District No. 7 will be In
creased.
In order to accommodate all members
who are in arrears, Local Union No.
1499 will hold meetings at the Grand
opera house hall on Friday evening at
7.30 o'clock and on Sunday afternoon at
2 o'clock. No excuse will be accepted
from those who fail to avail themselves
of those opportunities to procure working
cards.
With Speed and Curves.
In its report of tho game of ball
played at Tamar|ua on Saturday, the
Register of that town has tho following
on one of the local men who assisted in
defeating liazleton team:
"By tho w ay, we also had McGoehan—
Con McGeehan —a young man who hails
from Drifton. They told us he was a
pitcher with speed and curves to burn.
We felt a little anxious when he got on
the slab, hut he soon relieved our mind.
As soon as he began shooting tho sphore
at Lawler, it was evidont that he knew

his business, and by tho tlmo tho nino
innings were playod, Con had all the
girls in love with him and could have
had the town for the asking.
"He made those Hazletonlans look
like childron without a home. Those
who didn't strike out managed to knock
a measly fly or a slow grounder and by
the time the smoke of battle had cleared
away they had actually accumulated
two hits and one tally.
"Not only did McGeehan pitch profes
sional ball, but he also baited terrifical
ly, having four swats out of five at
tempts with the stick. He is all right
and can play In our back yard 'til the
cows come home."
Returned the Bids.
The contract for the erection of a
now room In Washington street school
building was not awarded by tho direct
ors last evening, as intended. Esti
mates were received from Contractors
James E. Griffith and Lewis 11. Lentz,
but owing to some misunderstanding
tho former gave figures on one school
room and a supply room, while the latter
presented figures for the school room
only.
As the board desired separate bids for
each of these rooms, in order that tho
erection of the supply room might be
postponed If the cost should be more
than expocted, the proposals were re
turned to tho contractors, with instruc
tions to prepare and submit separate
estimates on the rooms at a meeting to
bo held tomorrow evening.
John Rogan was awarded the contract
to remove the ashes from the Ridge
street school at the price offered, $3.
Tho building committee reported hav
ing had considerable difficulty In pro
curing figures for the cleaning of Ridge
street building. The women who do
this work are averse to whitewashing
the rooms. The committee was in
structed to continue at work in the
matter until the next regular meeting,
also to have necessary repairs made to
all the school buildings.
The text book and supply committee
was instructed to procure prices before
the next regular meeting on the books
and supplies required for the coming
term.
Death of Peter O'Donnell.
Peter O'Donnell, supervisor of Foster
township, died yesterday morning at his
home in Coxe addition, aged 63 years.
About a year ago the deceased was
strlckon with paralysis, and although
he recovered and resumed work his
health was shattered by the stroke.
For some weeks past he had been very
low. and the recent action of Coxe Bros.
fc Co., In notifying him to vacate his
home, which the corporation owns, be
cause some of his sons were among the
Drifton shop strikers, gave him much
worry and undoubtedly hastened his
death.
The deceased was a resident of Drif
ton and Freeland for more than a
quarter of a century and during
this period was an employe of tho firm
which gave him such anguish in his old
days.
He Is survived by his wife and the
following sons and daughters: Andrew,
Patrick, Peter and Neil and Mrs.
Daniel McLaughlin and Miss Hannah
O'Donnell.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
morning at 9 o'clock, followed by a
requiem mass at St. Ann's church. In
terment at St. Ann's cemetery.
Boxing Contest Tonight.
The special train from Wilkesbarre
to Freeland this evening, to convey the
county soat people to town to witness
tho contest between Frank McGeo, of
Philadelphia, and Thomas Quigley, of
Wilkesbarre, promises to bo well pat
ronized. The contest has aroused much
iutorost in the upper end and several
hundred tickets have been disposed of
In that section.
Both McOee and Quigley arrived in
town yesterday and report themselves
in excellent condition for the twenty
round bout.
A preliminary contest for six rounds
between John Carr, ef Highland, and
Hugh McDyer, of town, will be given,
and as both have many admirers this
will attract much attention from local
people.

every class of food and so prepare it
that nature can use It in nourishing the
body and replacing the wasted tissues,
thus giving life, health, strength ambi

Because of an accident similar to tho
