The Democratic poor district committee
met at Weatherly on Monday afternoon
to make preparations for the convention
to nominate candidates for director and
auditor. The new ballot law makes it
necessary to nominate earlier than
heretofore, and to conform with the
requirements of the law it was decided
to hold the elections on Saturday at the
regular polling places, between and 7
p. m.
The conventions for the election of
conferees to the general convention will
be held at HaZleton, Weatherly and
Mauch Chunk on Tuesday morning and
the convention to nominate the candi-
dates will be held in Concordia hall,
Hazleton, at 3 p. m. the same day.
The candidate for poor director must
be from the Luzerne district, and the
candidate for poor auditor from the
middle district, or that portion of Carbon
county composed of Banks, Lehigh and
and lausanne townships and Weatherly
borough.
The chairman's notice regarding the
election of delegates and conventions
will be found on the second page.
Jos. 2. Mcdonald, of Freeland, is
making a spirited fight for the nomina-
ton of poor director. There is no ques-
ton but that he would poll large vote
if his name is placed on the ticket. He
has been hard worker for the party all
his life, and has on several occasions
given both time and money to help
local and general tickets.
He has many friends among the Re-
publicans, and the convention on Tues
day will have hard time to find man
to nominate who is better qualified for
the position or more likely to be elected

Newell Watson, aged 26, and James
Anderson, aged q, were room mates at
Parsons, and on Christmas morning
were examining double -barreled shot
gun, which they found in the room.
They did not know it was loaded, and
while looking at it, Anderson pulled the
trigger and one barrel of the gun, which
was loaded with buckshot, was dis
charged.
The contents entered Watson's right
leg near the thigh. He was taken to
the hospital but refused to allow the
physicians to amputate his leg, which
operation they considered necessary that
his life might be saved. He died the
same evening.

Oliver Won the Match.

The shooting match at GAINESVILLE ball
park on Monday afternoon between
James Oliver, of Highland, and George
Freed, of Weatherly, for 500 a side,
was won by the former.
Each man shot at thirteen birds.
Oliver succeeded in killing eleven,
while the Carbon county shooter brought
down but eight. Quite lot of money
changed hands during the shooting and
after the match.
This was the second time for these
contestants to meet, and as each has
now one match won it is likely another
will be arranged soon to decide which is
the better shooter.

NOTTHE PROPER MAN
THAT is WHAT CLEVELAND SAYS
OF EDWARD MURPHY.

The President-eIect Declares That the Sc
lection OF Mr.. Murphy Does Not Indi-
cate IA Disposition to Choose Man of
the Kind Needed at Present.
New YORK, Dec. 2s-That Mr. Cleve-
land is opposed to the election of Edward
Murphy to the United States senate to sue
reed Mr., Hiscock has been authoritatively
settled by direct statement from the pres
ident elect, who said in response to an in
quiry:
1t ought not to be necessary for me to
repeat for the public what l have so often
expressed to many gentlemen in private
conversation. Among these have been Mr..
Murphy himself, Mr.. Croker and gentle
men who have been prominent in the party
from every part of the state of New York.
1T must not be forgotten, however, that
the party has a very hard task to perform
If we expect to keep the word that we have
passed to the people of the country They
have given us phenomenal majority, one
showing that they expect us to do much.
In doing this great deal depends upon
the state of New York and its great me-
tropolis.
Murphy Not the Man.
"The interests of the state and the party
demand it seems to me, the selection of
senator who can not only defend the prin-
ciples of our party, but who can originate
and promote policies that may be pre-
sented for consideration in the senate In
order to insure this, the senator from New
York should be man not only experienced
in public affairs, but who has clear con-
ception of the vital issues with which he
must deal during the next four years.
Speaking frankly, it does not seem to
me that the selection of Mr. Murphy shows
desire or intention of placing in the SEN
ate man of such type This first use of
our power would, fear, cause much dis
appointment, not only in New York, but in
the country. This the party ought not to
be called upon to face when it is considered
how much there is to do, and what serious
difficulties have to be surmounted before
