DEMOCRATS WILL CAUCUS.
But They Have Little Hope Of Uniting on
q Ticket.

Following the example Of their Re-
publican brethren, the Democratic
members of councils will caucus at Col
denis hotel on Penn avenue, tomorrow
night for the purpose of discussing the
board of revision and appeals cam
paign.
The leaders on the Democratic side
are almost hopeless Of bringing any or
ganization out of the chaotic condition
now existing. Fully three-fourths Of
their side of the house are candidates
for the board and as only three can be
put on a slate, 1t will be no easy mat
ter to designate which three 1t shall be.
The plan Of the leaders is to try to
make sure OF three and also make an
atte mpt to get all five positions on the
board.

up in the central station house on sus-
picion Of being implicated In the rob-
bing at the house of Rev. William

He was taken In tow by Detective Nc
Sweeney, OF Barring 4 McSweeney,
while begging In the Commonwealth

Smiths office and after telling how sore
his eyes had become from seeking work
induced the judge to part with a pair
Of old shoes. Unfortunately for the
tramp. howevr. Judge Smith has q
small foot, and his shoes were several
sizes too small for the tramp.
Bound to do something for the poor
applicant for assistance the Judge di-
rected him to inquire In the adjoining
offices and he might be able to get a
pair Of shoes that would fit him. The
first Office he struck was that Of the
detective, who. instead Of extending
sympathy, handed him over to Chief
Simpson as a suspicious character.
The chief will put the fellow on the
chain gang pending an investigation.

THE MINISTER IS MISSING.
4 Clerlymsa Fails to Reveal Himself
TO His Anxious Frieads.
FOUND AND THEN LOST AGAIN


The whereabouts OF Rev. Miner
Morris. who started from his home In
Mantle. Conn.,, for Montrose to con-
slider a call from the Baptist church,
OF that place, IN causing no end of worry
to his friends and the congregation
that was expecting him.
X. +. Alden, one OF the church trus-
tees. came down from Montrose yes
terday to secure the aid Of the police
In searching for the missing minister.
He states that Rev. Mr.. Morris was to
have attended a meeting OF the trus-
tees Thursday evening. and wired from
New York that he would leave on the
train which arrives In Montrose about
o'clock In the afternoon.
A committee from the board OF trus-
tees was on hand to meet him and
when he did not arrive were greatly at
loss to explain his failure to come
as agreed. They met several later
trains, but as he did not come, and as
they received no word from him they
became alarmed and Instituted an In
quiry.
Inquiries at the Hotels.
Mr.. Alden searched all the hotels In
this city, but could find no trace Of
him. A telegram to his wife brought
only a prayer to leave no stone un-
turned to clear away the mystery OF
his disappearance. She has sent tele-
grams at frequent intervals ever since,
anxiously inquiring Tor her missing
husband.
Mr.. Alden says that he Is sure that
the Rev. MIR. Morris reached Scranton
In safety. as he wired from here that
he came In on the 1881 y. m. train, and
would be In Montross at 7.45 o'clock
p. m.
Through Conductor Smith, of the
Lackawanna train that left Scranton
at sos p. m. Thursday 1t has been
learned that the missing clergyman
boarded Conductor Smiths train and
had ticket for MontrOse. Instead Of
changing cars at Afford. he paid extra
fare to BinghamtOn, telling the con-
ductor that he would not 20 to Mont
rose at present because Of the large
crowds en- route to the veterans re-
union.
He told Conductor Smith also that
he had a sister living at Chenango
Forks. a few miles above Binghamton,
and would go there to visit her a few
days.
Wife IL Distracted.
Meantime Mr.. Morris wife Is almost
distracted at her home in Mantle,
Conn.,, as indicated by her urgent tele-
grams of inquiry to the Baptist people
at Montrose. Evidently the divine has
neglected to let his wife know whether
he Is living or dead, and this feature
also applies to the minister's dealings
with the Baptists In MOntrose, who are
very much upset over the queer busi-
ness.
No trace of the clergyman can be
gained after he got Off the train at
Binghamton. As yet he has failed to
communicate his whereabouts to the
Montrose people or to his wife. Every
hour fears grow apace that something
has happened to the missing clergy
man that causes him to thus bury him
self from the world.
