TWO TAX RECEIVER CONVENTIONS

Secure Recognition For Legally Elected

Philadelphia. Jan. l3.-AIthough re-
ceiver of taxes is the only city Office to
be chosen at the coming municipal cleo
tion in February, with one police mag
istrate to fiji a vacancy, the struggle Of
the past few months between factions
Of the Republican party to obtain con-
troll of the nominating convention has
been the fercest political contest in this
city for many years. This fight cul-
minated yesterday in two Republican
candidates being placed i'm the field.
There was bolt in the Republican con-
vention, one faction nominating Will
lam ]. Roney, the present incumbent,
for receiver of taxes, and the other
Harvey X. hewitt. For magistrate the
Roney following nominated David T.
Hart and the hewitt faction left the
magisterial nomination open for a few
days. The Democrats, I'm a harmonious
convention, nominated Charles p. DON
nelly for receiver of taxes and James
L. German for magistrate.
The Republican conventions were
very turbulent, and there was much
disorder and considerable lighting out
side the halls, caused by the exclusion
of delegates who were said to be not
properly accredited.
The fractional trouble among the
Philadelphia Republicans dates back to
the spring of 1896, when BOies Penrosc,
now United States senator, was as he

tears rained from her eyes, and then
toppled over in a faint. Her aged

friends and relatives pressing about the
dock grew SO great that it became nee
essary to clear the room.

acted a few feet away, where the rela-

verdict was announced his old mother
sobbed aloud, and his sister cried out:
"She may go free but she is a murder

The defense was that the shooting
was accidental, and the result accOrds
with the general expectation.

FREE ADVICE TO MEN.


1t is rather early to talk about spring
clothing, but just want to put you on your
guard. Jefferson county is chuck full OF
so-called tailors to the trade. Grocery
stores, blacksmiths and even railroad
agents are in the business. The whole
thing in a nut shell is, that they are tax
ing orders for ready made clothing, and
the man that places his order with them
is paying from three to five dollars more
for suit of ready-made clothes than he
could have one made to order for at c.
E. Reininger's, He is making suits to
order from $500 up, and pants from
$3.50 up. Beware of the sweatshop
agents and see Reininger's assortments
of the latest novelties in suitings before
you buy.
