CONVENTIONS THIS EVENING 4 Democrats and Republicans Nominate Tonight. Former Meet at Municipal Building and the Latter at Central Hotel—Republican Ward Tickets. Delegates were chosen at each polling place in the borough by the Democratic voters of town on Saturday evening. These delegates, twenty-five in all, will meet tonight at the .Municipal hall to name a borough ticket. The offices to be filled are justice of the peace and auditor. The candidate* for justice before the primaries were Thomas A. Buckley and Daniel A. Furey. Over four-fifths of the elected delegates favor the renomi nation of Squire Buckley and he will undoubtedly be the Democratic nomi nee. So far as is known, there are no can didates for auditor. The only contest at the primaries which bordered on the interesting was in tho Fifth ward. In this district Buckley's delegates won out by a vote of 03 to 30. The apathy shown by the Democrats was paralleled by the Republicans. Little or no interest was taken in the ward caucuses, and there were no contests for nominations in those dis tricts were the ward tickets were filled. The Republicans also selected dole gates to their borough convention, which is to be held this evening at the Central hotel. No one has yet been mentioned for auditor, and tbo only aspirant for the nomination for justice is E. B. Shel hawcr, of Main street. As only a few of the wards elect eouncilmen and school directors, tills year is classed as an off-year in politics and litilo interest is taken by the average voter. Republican Ward Tickets. The Republicans of five wards met on Saturday evening and made the fol lowing nominations: First Ward. Councilman—Joseph McClelland. School director—U. G. Foltermun. Constable—Frank Biilmati. Judge of election —Harry Keck. Inspector of election—Asa Rate. Second Ward. Council man—Ely Crawford. Constable—Rudolph Ludwig. Judge of election—John Smith. Inspector—Alfred Marshmau. Third Ward. Constable—Anthony Oneskah. Judge of election—William H. Van bom. Inspector of election—Charles M. Van horn. Fourth Ward. Constable—John James. Judge of election —Sol Trantor. Inspector of election—llarry Roin smlth. Fifth Ward. Judge of election —Richard Scott. Inspector of election—Robert Jenkin. No caucus was held in the Sixth ward, consequently no nominations have yet been made there. The caucus in tho Fifth ward postponed the nomination of a councilman to a future date. Foster Politics. There is a heavy battle du in Foster township this year and both parties are lining up for tho fray. The loaders are working hard to place their strong est candidates on tho tickets. The Democratic primary elections will be held on Saturday evening and the con vention at Woodside on Monday even ing. The official call and regulations governing registration of candidates will be found in another column. The Republicans will also hold their primary elections Saturday evening. The convention will probably be held Tuesday night. Found Poison in Candy. A box of poisoned candy was sent to Frederick S. H. Giant, of Wilkesbarre, on Saturday, but he discovered the poison before eating tho sweet*. U t.ok the box to Fust master liahn and was sent to District Attorney Benjamin Jones, who, with the aid of tho county detective, is Investigating the case. Grant received the box in the morn ing mail. It contained half a pound of mixed candy, purchased at a big candy store in that city. It was mulled there FREE LAND, PA, MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1902 Friday evening. He opened the box at the breakfast table and was attracted by the peculiar odor. He looked at a piece of chocolate and saw several little holes pierced in the bottom. Several other candies were treated In the same manner and each had been saturated in poison. A drug gist said the poison was belladonna and digitalis. Grant told the district attorney that he had no enemies and knew of no one who would try to kill him. He has been separated from his wife for a month, but does not suspect her, as he says the separation was caused, he thinks, by her parent*, who have never liked him siuco lte eloped with their daughter two years ago. The address is evidently in a dis guised handwriting. Editor Maloy's Su : t. Carbon county grand jury has return ed a truo hill against Republican Sheriff .Jonathan Gombert, on oath of Demo crat .James W. Maloy, the editor of the Lansford Uncord, who charges the sheriff with having made an ante-elec tion agreement, promising Maloy one half the advertising patronage of the sheriff's office in return for support. There was a great scurrying of "white rats," the term by which the crooked politicians in Carbon have bo come known since the above prosocu j tion was instituted, when the action of i the grand jury was announced. For a time it was whispered that the prosecu tion was to be called off, but the case will come to trial. Judge Horace Heydt refuses to pre side, he having been the secretary of the Republican county committee when the alleged agreement was made. He will call in an outside judge at a date to be fixed before the present criminal term ends. Institute Prcg-am The following is tho program for the local teachers' institute, to be held | Friday evening, January 24, at the Daniel Coxo school building: General discussion on history of education of Greece and Rome.

Mr. Rirkbeck has the best wishes of his Freeland friends for his success. Miner Instantly Killed. Denis Muchalitz, a resident of High laud, was instantly killed Saturday afternoon by a fall of coal.

Plymouth health authorities are fighting with the Daniel Edwards estate over the right to burn thp old Walton house, which has been the home of several smallpox patients, and is so ! rickety that the health officers say it cannot be properly fumigated. The estate wants S3OO for the house, and the authorities refuse to give anything. Robert M.

Almost every other person one meets is wearing either a silver chatednine lmg or one of the steel bead variety, but there are still many people who prefer the less ornate leather bag, and for these there are some very hand i some articles from which to choose. Brown, black and gray are the prcfer icd colors in seal, alligator or Russian leather, with oxidized or satin finish silver tops. The wrist bags that have been making a valiant effort to become so popular here as they are in the east 1 do not seem to meet with much encour agement, which is doubtless due to tlioir being rather awkward things to j handle unless one does not attempt to | carry anything else in the hands, and that the busy Pittsburger cannot find time fo do. A lovely bag that is intend ed to bo worn with the dressiest of toi lets is in heavy white corded silk elab orately embroidered in gold and tur quoise and having a much carved top of gold.—Pittsburg Dispatch. The New Detachable Gloves. Brown, gray and black are the popu lar shades in gloves of either glace or undressed kid, but the newest tiling is the automobile or driving glove with the detachable gauntlet. The glove proper comes in all the light tints, such as gray, tan, biscuit, cream and white of the one button variety and may be used for general wear without the wrist piece. The fashion of wearing the glove unbuttoned and turned back over the hand is quite a nobby one I when worn by a dashing beauty, but it will scarcely be adopted generally dur ing the winter months, as the wrists will be sure to suffer from the expo sure.
