Madrid, March 1.-THE view held in

opinion is that in the event of war Spain

Next Tuesday representatives of the
Republicans Of the city will meet in
convention In Music hall to nominate
six candidates for school director This
convention Is called for the purpose of
having a ticket ready for the consider
alton of the voters of the city on Feb.
Is. in the event of the present school
board being declared illegal by the
court, as seems highly probable.
The members of the board of
six will have grave responsible
tiles resting upon them, and
the demands upon their time will be
considerable, if they give the attention
to the duties of their offices that they
should. 1t is probable that the ticket
to be nominated next Tuesday will be
one composed of earne 81, representative
men, who have the best interests of
the public schools at heart. The pri-
maries will be held Saturday afternoon
between the hours of 4 and o'clock,
when delegates to Tuesdays conven-
tion will be chosen.
Among those who are mentioned for
places on the Republican ticket of six
are Captain f. d. Fellows, the present
secretary of the board: ID. I. Phillips,
of the Fifth ward. Elias Il. Evans, of
the Fifteenth ward; George Shires,
present member from the First ward ;
M. l.. Fine, of the Thirteenth ward ;
F. l.. Barker, present member from the
Seventeenth ward; Jacob Schaefer,
present member from the Tenth ward !;
George Wahl, of the Ninth ward !;
Michael Miller. of the Eleventh ward /;
T. j. Kelley, of the Thirteenth ward,
| and Senator J. c. Vaughan, of the
| Sixth ward.
Captain w. A. May. who has been
| nominated as a candidate for school
controller in the Ninth ward, has been
mentioned as man who would make
a valuable member of the board of six.
| When seen by Tribune reporter yes
| terday he said he is not a candidate
| for place on the board of six. 1t
would be impossible. he said, for him
to give the time to the office it would
| require.
John Jermyn was also spoken of as
| a man who would make an available
candidate, but he apparently has nc
| desire to be a member Of the board
Of six. When interviewed last night
he disclaimed having any ambition to
serve the people of Scranton as a
school director, and said most emphat-
ically that he is not a candidate.

COLLISION NEAR TAYLOR.


p. ]. Jordan a member of the firm
of Jordan Brothers, North Scranton
confectioners, was run into last night
by an electric car on the Taylor line,
and fortunately escaped serious injury.
His wagon was reduced to a wreck.
The car was in charge of Conductor
Frank White and Motorman John
James. The latter saved himself from
serious, If not fatal injury, by jump
ing when he saw the collision could
not be prevented. The horses were
thrown down and pinioned in the wreck
for a short time. but were not much
injured.
The point of the collision is one pecu-
liarly shaped for catastrophe. About
two hundred yards above the Taylor
borough northern limit the street car
tracks follow steep hill, on one side
being the Taylor woods and an open
field on the other. At the top Of this
hill the road bends abruptly and runs
along level stretch on which is the

Just before 8 o'clock last night Mr..
Jordan was driving from Taylor to-
ward Scranton. He had a team of

horses and a regulation confectionery
combination wagon with high apart
ment box and a covered seat.
When Jordan reached point thirty
yards from the curve at the top of the
hill the collision happened.

right hand was bruised by the flying
back of the break. He said
when we got around the curve the
team of horses were right in the mid
die of the track. The driver seemed
to be sleeping. The motorman yelled
and put on the brakes, but he saw the
car couldn't be stopped. so he opened
the gate and jumped off in the snow.
Me and Ben tried to get out of the
way but we couldn't. When the car
was ten feet from the horses they got
frightened and jumped toward the
road. The car struck one horse in the
side. and hit the front truck of the
wagon. The driver was thrown into
the fender. When the car stopped 1t rar
back because the power had been re.
versed. Then the motormon got or
and stopped it,
jenkins and Motorman James gave
similar statements.
