There was a meeting on Saturday
afternoon of the general committee
that has charge of the campaign Of
Hen. r.. w. Archibald for the Repub~
licgn nomination for justice of the su-
preme court. Hon. William Conn2ll
presided over the meeting.
1t was decided that Judge Arch
balds name will go before the con-
vention no matter what the conditions
are in Harrisburg when the conven-
ton opens. 1t was reported that as
.surances of support have been received
from the delegates of all the counties
of this part of the state, with the eX-
ception of Luzerne county, where Hon.
II. w. Palmer is a candidate There
is no desire on the part of Judge Arch
balds friends to interfere in any way
with Mr.. Palmer's campaign.
The headquarters of Archibald will
be opened Tuesday in the Lochiel. The
following will be present, it is expect
ed when the headquarters are for
mally opened: Hon. William Con-
nell, Hon. f. N. willard, Hon. L. A.
Watres, Hon. John r. Farr, Deputy
Attorney General F. w. Fleitz, Major
T. f. Penman, Hon. J. c. Vaughan
Jones, Hon. John Scheuer and Mayor
James Moir.
These will go to Harrisburg today
and early on Tuesday another
large party will leave. Some of
the members of it will be F.
Jones. of Archibald; r. d. Stuart,
of Carbonate; NJ w. Lowry,
George NJ. Watson, r. A. zimmerman,
Colonel e. H, Ripple, w. x. Beck. r.
II. IIolgate, Byron Akerly, Major w,
s. Millar. A. j. Colborn, Reese G..
Brooks, T. II. Dale and EMIL Bonn.
There will be an absence of brass
hand and red fire in the Archibald cam
paign. 1t is being conducted on a
dignified plan worthy of such an ex-
allied judicial position. Judge Arch
bald will have a party of sincere, ear
nest friends on the ground who will
do their utmost to advance the inter-
ests of their favorite. In speaking
about Judge Archbald's chances Mr..
Fleit% said yesterday:
"It is settled that Judge Archbald's
name will go before the convention
and while there is a good deal Of talk
about j. Hay Brown, Judge Archibald
and his friends have assurances of sup
port from all sections Of the state
during the past week. Largely be-
cause of these assurances he and his
friends have decided that no matter
what the conditions at Harrisburg
are his name must go before the con-
vention and the contest be fought out
to a finish
IT have seen and talked with many
of the leaders throughout the state dur
ing the week and am satisfied there
is a stronger sentiment for Archibald
than for any man mentioned for the
place"
Judge Archbald's name will be pre-
sentcd to the convention by Mr.. Feitz,
The man who will second the nomina-
tion has not vet been decided upon.

ELoPERs ARRESTED ABROAD.
Taken Into Custody as They Stepped
from the Steamer.

A cablegram was received on Satur-
day afternoon by Chief of Police
Kline of Wilkes Barre telling of the
arrest of Mrs. John A. Jones and John
Stevenson, alias Saunders, as they
We're leaving the steamer at Liverpool,
Eng. The prisoners will be held there
until sufficient proof of the forgery,
with which they are charged, is fur
nished to warrant their detention for
trial. The prosecutor in the case is
John Jones, the husband of the fleeing
woman.
1t appears that the couple secured
by false representations a mortgage
for 5000 on NJ. Jones property besides
contracting ether obligations. They
then departed for the old country with
the thought that they could enjoy their
ill-gtten gains without fear of moles-
tation. Stevenson was a boarder in the
Jones homo.

WATER NOT DEEP ENOUGH.
Serious Mistake Made by Christie
pher Harris, of Olyphant.

Christopher Harris, of Olyphant,
was received at the Lackawanna hos
'pltal yesterday afternoon suffering
from the effects of a foolhardy dive
which he attempted at Olyphant on
Saturday afternoon.
1t appears that he was starting to
bathe in a mine reservoir at that place
and, thinking the water to be deep,
dove from the surrounding wall, The
water, however, was only three feet
deep and the young man struck on
the back of his head and spine.
He was first attended by DR.. Price,
but as the case required hospital care,
he was removed to the Lackawanna.
He is completely paralyzed from the
breast down and is in very serious
condition.
