At f1.20 o'clock last night-forty
minutes before the last moment al
lowed for filing nomination papers for
city ofhces-Attorney John j. Murphy,
accompanied by another wen known
Democrat, rs witness, handed to the
court house ianiLor four citizens
nominations Tor the Office Of poor di-
rector.
The janitor placed the papers in the
county commissioners private office
pursuant to general instructions given
him when the commissioners closed
their Office for the day.
The nominees are: Martin +. Hand
les, for the Seventh, Eighth and SIX
teenth wards, formerly the North
ward OF Scranton; John j. Murphy, for
the Eleventh, Twelfth, Nineteenth and
Twentieth wards, formerly the South
ward Of Scranton; Daniel j. Campbell,
for the Ninth, Tenth and Seventeenth
ards, formerly the middle ward of
Scranton, and Fred W. Berge, for the
Third and TWenty-first wards. former
~ the township of Providence.
Just what this move means was not
officially given out, but it is under
stood that it is simply precautionary
measure.
The law under which the men arc
claiming u place on the poor board di'
reefs that in certain wards elections
shall be held on certain years, as il
councilmanic elections, where a mem
Der is elected in odd numbered wards
in one year and even numbered the
next year. The fact that only foul
nominations are made where there are
seven offices to be filled, tends to sub
stantiate this view.
Three of these four nominees, it vii
be remembered, We're elected, unoppos
ed, last spring. Mr. Berge was a can
didate on their ticket but was de
feateu by ]. J. Mcnamara, who quietly
secured enough votes to defeat the un'
wary Berge. He, however, has since
moved away, and Mr.. Berge appear.
as a candidate to fill the vacancy.
Frank j. Mcdonald, who was choser
from the Dunmore borough end of tn,
district has also moved out of the dis
trict. Six days, however, remain IL
which to make nominations from Dor
oughs and it is quite possible a can
didate for the vacancy will be namet
in the interim.

SUDDENLY STRICKEN

Scarcely a day passes that one does not
hear of men and women. known as pic
lures of health and strength, stricken

pneumonia, but in whatever form 1t may
come, it is terrible. If you have a tick

promptly, act wisely-bring about an i'm

medicinal stimulant which will tend to
oqualize the circulation, check conges-
tion and restore health.
There is but one that can be recon-
mended. That is Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey This is the only medicinal
whiskey upon the market, is so acknowl-
edged by the Government and its purity
and power is proven by its popularity.
Ii has saved the lives of more men and
women who were candidates for pneu-
monia, than any discovery of modern
science. Don't confound IL with ordinary
whiskey, which has no medicinal value.

DYNAMITE IN WOOD.
Heavy Cartridge of the Terrible Ex.
plosive Placed in a Wood Pile
at the Residence of
Charles Hillerman.

Some person as yet unknown put a
cartridge of dynamite in the center of
block of wood and placed the latter
in pile of kindling wood in the yard
surrounding the residence of Charles
Hiilerman, at 114t Birch street. Mrs.
Hillerman went to the wood pile early
yesterday morning, and seeing a block
that was apparently too large to fit
in the kitchen stove, she was about
to split 1t with a small ak when some
thing about the appearance Of the
block attracted her attention and she
did not strike.
If the blow was delivered Mrs. Hill
lerman would not, in all probability,
be alive to tell the story.
She examined the block carefully and
found that it was originally one piece,
but had been split and afterwards nail
ed together. Her curiosity now fully
aroused, Mrs. Hillerman forced the Sec
ton of the block apart and found n
quantity of dynamite carefully wrapped
in oil paper. A hole had been made
in the center of the block to admit of
the dynamite being placed in it.
Mrs, Hillerman brought the Internal
machine to Chief Gurrell and explain
ell to him her suspicious concerning the
identity of the person who sent it. 1t
is the third such machine that has been
found in that part of the city within
the last few weeks.
Mrs. Helrings, oS Beech street, re-
Gently threw a piece OF wood into her
kitchen stove and an explosion follow
ed which wrecked the stove and did
considerable damage to the kitchen.
Mrs. Greenwald, of the same neighbor-
hood, also found q quantity of dyna-
mite in the yard az her home a short
time ago.

WITHOUT LEAVING BOX.

Without leaving the box, the jury in
the case of Samuel Smith, colored,
charged with robbing Richard Shovelln
of watch and 81 in money, agreed
upon a verdict of acquittal. Shovelin
was lying down drunk on Spruce street,
near Raymond court, one night in De-
cember last, with a man named John
Mckinney tugging at him to get him
upon his feet, when Smith happened
along, and, at McKinney's request, lent
q hand in getting Shovein to his feet.
During the righting process Shovelin
was robbed of his watch and money.
He discovered it before Smith had got
ten out of sight, and when he COM
planned, Mckinney, who was still with
him, raised the cry of stop thief. Smith
stopped. offered to submit to a search
ing and then went on about his bus
mess. That night he was arrested and
held to bail for the theft, remaining
in Jail ever since.
At the trial yesterday Shovelin in
sisted that he was knocked down and
robbed by n colored man. Mckinney
said Smith did not strike Shovelin, but
alleged that he did the stealing. Smith
admitted he helped Shovelin to his feet,
but denied robbing him. The jury
believed that the officers accused the
wrong man.
Alex Dunn declined to prosecute Har-
ry Caskey for failing to deliver some
advertising novelties entrusted to him
to distribute and Caskey was liber-
ated.
William Gibney was found guilty of
wife beating and sentenced to thirty
days in the county Jail.
Alderman Emmet Lowery, of Carbon
dale, was declared not guilty of as
saulting Albert l.. Wright and the jury
made him pay half the costs.

NOT THE SAME JOHN CAREY.
Telegram Received by Chief-of-Po-
lice Gurrell from Youngstown, o.

Chief Of Police Gurrell received a
telegram last night from Chief Of Police
Mccartney, oc Youngstown, Ohio, stat
ing that the John Carey who was killed
there Saturday was a man thirty eight
years of age, five feet, ten inches in
height, and wore d sandy moustache.
Mrs. John Carey, OF North Scranton,
whose husband went west three years
ago and little being heard of him since,
when at police headquarters Monday,
stated that her husband had on his left
forearm marked in Indian ink the let
ters u. w. c." The telegram received
last night stated that the dead Carey
did not have any marks of any nature
on his body. also that the little finger
of the left hand was not missing.
1t is evident that the husband of the
North End woman is not the dead man.
