amendment of Mr.. Gadsden to have
rules Of the primary, was adopted as
follows:
Resolved, That the delegates to the
Constitution Convention be nominated
by a primary eletion to be held in all
counties, unless deemed impractical
by the county executive committee,
under the auspices of the county exc,
cutive committee of seven be appoint
ed by this committee to draft rules for
the government of said primary, such
rules to be submitted to subsequent
meeting of this committee.
Senator Irby said that he was in
favor of a primary wherever it was
practicable, but in some cases the con.
vention might be preferable.
w. D. Evans asked whether it was
intended to have campaign.
Mr.. Lowman suggested that each
county could arrange that for itself.
Mr.. Evans said that he was opposed
to any Court House ring regulating
the affairs, and he wanted to see the
people deal directly with the election
Mr.. Efrd did not think it best to put
down any ironclad rule as 10 pri
mary. He wanted to see the best mer
in the State sent to the Convention
and have it a white mans Conven
ton. He thought it rather early to
give away the plans of action, anc
thought it better to wait and on thai
account moved to strike out the latter
part of the resolution.
That was voted down.
Mr.. Lyles wanted the resolution
trimmed down so as to make it a gen
eral primary, but this was voted down
Mr.. Gadsden suggested in view O.
the Importance of the matter that tht
rules had better be referred to thu
whole committee before they were
adopted.
This suggestion was accepted ant
incorporated in the resolution.
Upon motion of Mr.. Williams il
was agreed that the primary for thu
nomination of delegates be held on thu
last Tuesday in July, and that if sec
ond primary be necessary that 1t bt
held two weeks after that
The following committee was ther
appointed to prepare the rdsas: Chair

the aggressive, but purely on the de-
fensiye that we do not propose to make
any effort to control the constitutional
convention, but only to assist, as far
as we can, in electing to it fair-minded
men and justice-loving citizens of
such standing and character that they
may with safety be trusted to frame a
fair and impartial and conservative
Constitution Just alike to all classes
and citizens.
To make it clearly understood what
in our opinion ought to be the course
of the coming convention we may an
nounce the following fundamental
principles, which will be satisfaction to
us as Republicans and which we think
ought to be acceptable to all fair
minded, conservative citizens:
Il. No Constitution should be put
in force until it has been submitted to
and ratified by the legal voters of the
State.
20. The Constitution should make
no discrimination, civil or political,
against any class of citizens (on account
of race or color.
"3. 1t should provide for the equal
participation of the two leading politi.
cal parties in the management and
control of elections.
II. Itshould make no reduction of
the preesnt special tax for public
school purposes, but rather the con.
trary. Nor should it increase the poll
tax, that being discrimination against
the poor man, be he white or black"
The foregoing are ex pressive in brief
of the principles and ideas on which
we propose to organize and make the
contest purely and simply in defense
of our rights as Republicans and as
citizens; and we most earnestly urge
upon every Republican entitled to vote

Murdered for Seven Dollars.

Houston, Feb. 9.-Some boys who
were hunting below Glenwood ceme-

The body was that of Henry Wool

had been murdered for this paltry
sum, as he had been shot through the
back of the head and his pockets were
turned inside out. Sheriff Erickson

John Ballentine, aged 65 years, was
found murdered early Friday morning
at the foot of the stairs in his own home
vt Plymouth. He was lying face down
ward on the floor, and good sized pool
Of blood surrounded his head. Mrs.
Miller, a neighbor who found the body,
promptly gave the alarm, and neighbors
quickly FASTENED to the scene. A doctor
vas summoned and an examination of
the dead man revealed several large
wounds on the head, all of which looked
us though Ballentine had met his death
at the hands of thugs. Ballentine was
4 veteran of the war and a pensioner.
On Thursday he told Mrs. Miller and
one or two others, that he was going to
draw his pension. In the evening his
little granddaughter, girl named Kline,
met him and he gave her five cents.
rhe little girl told her mother of the
occurrence when she went home, and
remarked that grandpa had big roll of
bills, all Of which goes to show that the
old man had drawn his pension and was
spending it. An examination of the
clothing worn by the dead man was
made and SO found in his pocket. 1t is
evident that he drew his pension but
little of it can be found.
That Ballentine was assasinated is
evident from the nature of his injuries.
There is a confusion over the left eye,
as if done by the blow of blunt instru-
ment, and cut in the back of the head,
which the doctor says was evidently in
flicted by a knife. There are no other
marks or bruises ON his body, and
nothing to indicate that there had been
a struggle.
Ballentine was widower, who lived
alone in the house where his dead body
was found. Mrs. Miller, who discovered
it, cleaned up his residence, prepared
his meals, etc, and went there on Fri
day morning at her customary hour to
perform the usual work.
He was brother to Ham" Ballentine,
tho Lehigh Valley baggage-master who
lives at HaZleton. Several years ago
the deceased kept saloon in that city
and was known to many lower end

Coal War to BE Settled.

In coal circles it is said the war of the
anthracite companies will soon be over.
This has been brought about by New
York parties having purchased enough
of the Reading stock to give them con-
troll. The new owners of the Reading
are people whose interests are allied
with the Jersey Central and they now
hold n sufficient amount of Reading
stock to dominate the policy of the
management in regard to the production
and sale of coal Reading was hereto
fore controlled by Philadelphia people,
but the stubborn attitude of the COM
pany on the question of percentage
induced Jersey Central people to obtain
control, and an early settlement of the
difficulties in the coal trade is predicted.
The value of the stock has risen rapidly

Mrs. Martha Blakslee died suddenly
at her residence on johnson street at
4.30 o'clock on Thursday afternoon.
She had not complained of illness during
the day and was attending to the house

and expired before assistance could be
summoned. The deceased was born in
Mauch Chunk, and was aged SO years,
6 months and 27 days. She lived at
West Pittston for thirteen years and
about the same length of time at White
Haven. She was the widow of the late
S. w. Blaksee, and removed to this
place six weeks ago. She leaves three
children, Lucius, of New Mexico, and
Harry l.. and Hattie W., who resided with
their mother. The deceased was an ac-
tive member of the Presby yteran church,

Passenger Trains Narrow Escape.

The Lehigh Valley passenger train
which leaves here at S.45 p. IN. had q
narrow escape on Friday night. Just
as it started to leave the Drifton station
on its way back to Hazleton d. S. t& S.
engine, No. s, ran into its rear end and
made costly wreck. Fortunately there
were only four people in the coach
which was struck, Conductor Dickin-
son, of Hazleton; Mrs. Charles Murrin
and Mrs. Daniel Marley. of Jeddo, and
an unknown man. They were severely
shaken up and tossed about, but did not
suffer any from the collision. The d. S.
& S. engine had been standing on a
siding near No. 2 breaker, and how it
started off is mystery. Whenit reach
ed the Lehigh Valley tracks it's speed
increased, owing to the heavy grade,
and it struck the rear passenger car
with terrific force, raising one end of
the latter up on it's own boiler and
knocking the trucks from under the car.
The engine, however, received the most
damage in the collision and it is badly
wrecked piece of machinery. An in
vestigation to ascertain how the engine
started off is being made by the D. S. &
S. officials.

The Electric Light Company is max
ing improvements right along at its
power house. The latest addition that
the company proposes to add to the
plant is water-heating apparatus,
which, if purchased and placed in posi-
tion, will be a valuable aid to the boil
ers. The cost of the machine is over
$400. 1t. will feed the boilers with
water heated to 200 degrees, thereby
keeping the steam at uniform heighth
and making the work of the attendants
lighter. The exhaust steam from the
engine, which is rather annoying at
night to the people living near the
power house, can be turned into the
water-heater and that noise would be
abated. The company is working to
make the plant complete and up-to-date
in every department, and for a concern
that is but little more than nine months
in operation its officials can feel proud
of its equipment,

SURVEYING GROW COUNTY.
Part of the Corps Here Locating the
Boundary Lines.

The Grow county surveyors are ex-
pected to complete their work in about
one week, if they continue their progress
as rapidly as they have done since they
commenced their survey. From present
indications there will be considerably
more than the required 400 square miles
of territory. A part of the corps, con-
sisting of seven men in charge Of Mr..
Brooks, an engineer from Ebensburg,
Cambria county, was here on Saturday
running lines for the proposed county.
Their object in coming to this part was
to locate the southwestern boundary of
Denison township. In order to do
that it was necessary to find the inter-
sections Of Halle, Foster and Butler
townships. This point was found a
short distance to the north of st. AIMS
church, near the road leading from
Freeland to Butler valley. The line
then runs across the hill to Upper Le-
high, west of the water works, until
Denison is reached. In conversation
with Mr.. Brooks, the writer was inform
ed that the report of the Grow county
commission must be in the hands of the
governor by the Goth inst. Denison
township will be the nearest limit of
Grow county to this place. All town
ships and towns directly south of Deni-
son, including Butler township, will be
left in LuZerne,
