the general example of the church

some years the near neighbors of
President Snow, inform us that he is

day morning on the boulevard between

cation this morning. McCawley was a
widower, 40 years of age, and had been

The political situation Is becoming
very interesting in the different West
Scranton wards where councilmen and
school controllers are to be elected at
tie coming February elections. The
two most important contests will be
waged for select councilman in the Fif-
teenth ward and school controller in
the Fourth ward. In the former three
Republican candidates are already in
the field in the persons of ex-Common
Councilman Joseph Oliver the present
incumbent, Horatio T. Fellows, and
Druggist David NJ. Jones. All three
have large following, and either will
make a creditable representative. The
aldermanic fight in the Fifteenth is be-
tween ex-Alderman Thomas T. Nor
gan and the present magistrate, Daniel
Moses. Edward Williams. of Hampton
street, has also registered for both
offices. The candidates for the various
ward offices are expected to register
with Secretary Daniel Harris, of the
vigilance committee, before tomorrow
night to insure them a place on the
fiag ticket which will be printed. 1t is
expected that the caucus will be held
on Saturday, Dec. 16.
The fight for school controller In the
Fourth ward is waxing warm, and from
present indications will be a very close
fight. Five candidates are In the field
namely, Thomas f. Price, A. r. Eynon
Benjamin Williams, David Evans and
David jenkins. 1t is rumored, but with
out any positive credence that Messrs.
Williams and Jenkins will not enter
the caucus. A fact which is not gen.
orally known is that all voters will be
allowed to vote al the Republican eau
Gus, as there are no Democratic candi-
dates in the field. This will insure an
exceptionally large vote in the four dis
tricts. All the candidates are workrg g

THE TIN PLATE INDUSTRY.

An earnest effort is being made by
the manufactures committee Of the
West side board Of trade to interest
the local capitalists in the proposed
tin plate plant and they are meeting
with some success, but II will require a
large sum to insure its location in West
Scranton. Mr.. Torbet, OF Chicago, the
promoter of the industry, has opened
the subscription books in the Scranton
board of trade rooms and judging from
the responses already received, the
plant will be located In this city.
Mr.. Torbet is desirous of locating in
West Scranton and is giving the peo-
pie here the preference. In order to
do that the books will be kept open
during the balance of the month and
shares can be procured at nominal
figure. 1t is to be hoped that the
moneyed men of this side will become
sufficiently interested to invest some
thing in the proposed tin plate in
dustry.
