A man of ordinary sense weatles at
the continual harping on the idea
that the Reno Silver convention was
a packed affair dominated by a few
men. The Railroad and Black Wal

the entire programme. Now let us
look at the facts.
Wallace was always for fusion with
the Democrats for such d fusion
would have given any ticket nOlninat-

called a fight.
The convention however, composed
of representative men elected at reg

ran things as it saw fit, ignoring
Wallace and his wishes and voting
against fusion. To a man with the

BURGLARS GOT GOLD.
Gang Does a Successful Bit of Work
at West Pittston and -ucceed-
ed in Escaping.

The Scranton police yesterday re-
ceived a description of three out of
six men suspected of burglarizing the
store of the Stevens Coal company ut
West Pittston Tuesday night. Thi ce
gold watches, six silver watches, sl2>
in gold, several dollars in coin and n
number Of lesser articles were taken.
The men suspected had for several
days been buying old rubber goods
and old clothes in that locality. Onn
was about feet and 10 inches IN
heighth 80 years old. wore light
colored hat and a summer coat and
was not clean shaved. Aaother was
about feet and 6 inches iall, was OF
stout build and wore a soft hat. The
last description applies as to size to
a third member of the party who was
about 26 years old, wore dark clothes
and hat and had several front teeth
missing.
1t was learned that the men arranged
with the ferryman to be on hand and
ready to take them across the river
during the night. West Pitteton Of
ficers followed this clue and have been
searching along the route toward
Shultzville.
Entrance to the store was effected
through a third story window which
was reached by means of a ladder.
Tools to open the window and safe
were stolen from blacksmith shop.
The gang must have had additional
implements for use in forcing the safe.
No news of the whar 9a5outs OF IL e
gang had been received by the S,ran-
ton police up to late hour last night.

stituted in Prothonotary Copeland's
office yesterday against the city of
Scranton. Fred Mursch claims dam
ages in the sum of $1,000: and John
Fruehtel, in the sum of $1,000. Both
plaintiffs live on Plttston avenue near
birch street. Attorneys Vosburg e
Dawson and George II. Rice repre-
sented them.
The damages are sought on the
ground that their properties are dam
aged by surface water after almost
every rain storm. The damage is not
in the havoc wrought with crops or
ground, but from the refuse deposited
by the flow of water from which arises
intolerable exhalations, after the sun
begins to dry things up. The Murch

THAT PAVING CONTRACT.
Committee of Councils the Object Of
Criticism.

No little indignation was expressed
yesterday outside of city hall circles
over the hesitancy of the joint pave
ments committee of councils in consid-
ering the bids for the Providence pave
ment. 1t is argued that the committee
has no good excuse for not awarding
the contract to O'Reilly g. Co, the
Philadelphia firm, which has sought
release from its proposal and the re-
turn of it's $1,000 guarantee.
Mcssrs. Keller, Ross, Williams and
Reese were in a minority Tuesday
night in voting to recommend the
award of the coNtract to the lowest
bidder. They claim the contract
should he so awarded; that the ques-
ton of responsibility cannot develop
until the firm shall have failed to fur
nish bonds and shall have forwarded
its guarantee.
The joint committee will meet at 3
o'clock this afternoon and endeaVor to
agree on a report to be presented to
select council this evening.
Meanwhile a spirited fight il on be-
tween the Scranton and Mack brick
people. Their brick was included in
the proposals of all the bidders except.
ing one, the third lowest, which does
not include the Mack brick. The lat
ter is figured at ? cents per square
yard higher in the Reilly bid. The
second bidder. George Mcdonald, puts
the same price on tach, Under these
conditions the manufacturers of each
brick are nearly on an equal footing as
far as price is concerned and are re-
lentlessly at work with the commit
tee to have their respective products
selected.
