a Compliment From "A Democrat,

From the Wilkes Barre Ncwsdealer,
Not in years or within the recollection
of the oldest inhabitant has a candidate
for office brought up from the fourth
district, united in his support, such a
delegation of sincere friends and workers
as John Leisenring. 1t is flattering
tribute to the personality of the man,
and proves more powerful than written
testimony the affection and regard that
is entertained for him by his neighbors.
He who has a following of that kind
must be what he is credited with being,
every inch man.

Constable Trescott, after several weeks
of hard work, has succeeded in locating
Michael Russo, the murderer of Anthony
Tabena. The accused man is now in
custody at Batavia, N. Y, and as soon
as the necessary requisition papers can
be secured he will be brought to Halle
ton and given hearing. The crime
for which Russo was arrested was COM
mitted in Hazleton on the evening of
March 2S. In detail it was a deliberate
and cold. blooded murder, without any
apparent provocation. The men were
playing cards during the evening when
Russo took offense to some point in the
game and left the room.
Soon after he returned from his board
ing house and called Tabena to side
door. Upon the latter's approach Russo
fired two shots at him. The first bullet
glanced off the victims shoulder and
the second lodged in his right breast.
After firing the shots Russo fled. Ia
bena was taken to the hospital and died
within twenty-four hours.
Until a week week ago the missing
Russo was lost trace of. Officer Tres
colt arrived home on Tuesday from Ba-
tavia and stated that as soon as Russo
learned of his presence he Immediately
engaged counsel, who tried to prove
that he was not the man, but it was all
all in vain. Constable Prescott says he
undoubtedly is the man, and he has
commenced proceedings to bring him to
this state.
This mornings Standard says that
Constable Trescott returned yesterday
afternoon from Batavia, n. Y, but fail
ed to bring Russo with him. The fellow
proved a complete abb, and although
not able to account for the name he
bore, it was thought advisable to release
him,

REPUBLICANS NOMINATE.
LARGEST CONVENTION THEY EVER
HELD IN THIS COUNTY.

Leisenring Named for Congress, Dnrte
for Orphans Court Judge, LIeweIIyn
for Prothonotary, Wagner for Clerk of
Courts and Fell for District Attorney.
The greatest day in the history of the
Republican party in this county was on
Tuesday. The convention was the
largest they have ever held in the coun-
ty, and notwithstanding the bitter strug-
giles for the various offies the work of
the convention appears to be satisfactory
to the members of the party. The city
of Wilkes-Barre had been kept in a
state of excitement from early Monday
evening until the convention opened on
Tuesday morning. The congressional
contest between John Leisenring and
Morgan B. Williams overshadowed
everything else, and so close was the
fight that each candidate felt confident
to the last that he would be the nominee.
Before the convention the anti-Leisen-
ring force agreed upon j. w. Scott for
= chairman, but when the convention met
they proposed the name of Ex-Congress-
man Shonk for chairman. Shonk is
popular with all factions of the party
and he was chosen by a majority of four
votes over G. L. Halsey, the Leisenring
candidate for the place. The Williams
people thought they had captured the
organization and were very jubilant.
They failed, however, to discount the
fact that Shonk had received the votes of
many Leisenring delegates on personal
grounds.
When adjournment was taken for din
ner the Leisenring forces were re-organ-
lied, and when the convention was call
ed to order in the afternoon they pre-
sented solid front. The first ballot
decided the contest. The following is
the vote by districts:
