A. G. Dyer was placed in nomina-
tiOn for county attorney by TheO.
Force, and on motion of Il. A. Harper
rules were suspended and the nomina-
tiOn made unanimous.
+. c. Blanchard was nominated for
probate Judge by T. H. Evans and on
a motion of DR.. Mosher this was also
made unanimous.
l.. X. Clark was nominated for sup
erintendent of public instruction. A
motion was made by MIR. Reeder to
extend the privilege OF voting to every
populist in the house, in making Mr..
Clark IS nomination unanimous. Will
Polling amended this by moving Ito
extend this privilege to include any
republicans in the house who wished
for once in their lives to vote right. {"
The motion was adopted with much
enthusiasm.
Messrs. Evans, Harper and Bridges
were then appointed committee to
confer with the democrats AS to their
nominations They reported the Sc
lection of B. F. Tatum Tor representa-
tive and NJ. A. Merton for clerk of the
court. and motion was made to sus
pend the rules and make these nOmi-
nations unanimous by the peoples
party convention.
A committee of of one was appointed
to bring Mr.. Tatum and the whole
democratic convention over to the
court house.
The convention then proceeded to
the selection of three delegates to
the congressional convention which is
to be held in Hutchinson Sept. 11th.
Messrs. Bridges, Breisford and Mosh-
er will represent Edwards county in
the nomination of a congressman from
the Big Seventh.
While waiting for Mr.. Tatum to ap-
pear calls were made for speeches by
the nominees. Messrs. Dyer and
Blanchard made speeches thanking
the convention for the marks of APP
prOval bestowed upon their past work
by denominations.
Mr.. Clark's extreme modesty had
! led him to seek the seclusion of his Of
, fee, but he was brought upstairs,
| acceptance
| At this point Mr.. Tatum arrived and
was received with vociferous applause.
| When At had subsidized he was intro
duced as 1.-THE next representative from
Edwards county," and accepted the
nominate on in an extremely neat and
well timed speech.
He assured the convention that he
would make a strong. straightforward
fight for the election, and if elected he
would serve the people honestly.
Mr.. Merton was unable to appear.
! The delegates from District No.
held a meeting and nominated John
Woods as commissioner. of thai dis
trict, and the convention then ad-
journed to listen to the Hon. Vernon
j. Rose.
The ticket is an unusually strong
one, and all opponents of republican
misrule are congratulating themselves
on having SO fine set of men to vote
for. Owing to lack of space we are
compelled to leave a write up of can
didates until our next issue.

|. Congressman Long spoke at the
Opera house Tuesday afternoon.
Court was adjourned and the men at
tending court went to hear him, help
eng to swell the crowd which with
women and children filled the house
from one half to two thirds full. He
must he a very good speaker as those
who heard him say he made a fair
showing even for this admi nislration.
A fellow must have a wonderful i'm
giiiatiOn to be able to do that. Long 5
strong point is ridicule, after he gets
through with the me too part of his
talk. The idea of man of Chester
rs caliber ridiculing a man like Bry-
an calls to mind the ola fable of the
fly and the OK, Besides the man who
talks that line of thought insults the
American voter who desires To cast
his b:tlloJ for the party that more
truly represents American ideals.

TO REMOVE TOLL GATE.
Street Commissioner to Notify Boule-
ward Company Today.

Street Commissioner Thomas will to-
day notify the officials of the Elm
hurst Boulevard company to remove
their toll gate from Nay Aug park
Immediately. This action will be taken
in pursuance of the provisions of
resolution recently adopted by both
councils. Should the company refuse
to remove the toll gate, the city solicit
tor Is empowered to take the neces-
sary legal steps to compel it's removal.
The company submitted a PROPOSE
tion at last Thursday evenings meet
ing of councils which would, it was
thought, prevent action on the resolu-
tion. This proposition was referred to
the parks committee, park commission
ers, city solicitor and city engineer,
but will probably never be acted upon,
as the majority of the councilmen con-
slider it to be too absurdly ridiculous
to be considered for a moment.
The proposition of the company is
that the city purchase from it the right
of way through Nay Aug park for
allowed free access to the boulevard
on tho road from Arthur avenue to
the tracks of the Erie and Wyoming
railroad. The company also insists
that If this proposition is accepted
the city is not to allow any other
road to be constructed through the
park opening onto the boulevard.

FOUNDATION is COMPLETED.
Work on the Monument Proper Is
Now in Order.

Contractor Matthias Stipp yesterday
completed the construction of the foun-
dation for the soldiers and sailors
monument. and the county commits
sioners notified the Harrison Granite
company, which has the contract for
the superstructure. that IL might be-
gin work at once. The stone is being
cut and dressed at Hartwick, VT, and
Is nearly ready for shipment.
The foundation contains eight hun
dred tons of solid masonry and con-
crete. AS far as wear is concerned,
1t is one huge cylindrical block of
stone, for the cement in which the rock
was laid becomes as hard, If not
harder, than the stone itself.
The original contract specified a
series of three circular walls. each
about yard in thickness with spaces
of the same dimension between them.
the center to be a circular core five
foot in diameter Edmund Bartl, the
consulting engineer hired by the coun-
ty commissioners, would not approve
this plan and the solid masonry was
substituted. The stone steps project
ing beyond the main foundation on
the north and south are supported by
steel rails embedded in the masonry.
The foundation weighs about twice as
much as the monument.
The construction of the foundation
was piece of work that won for Con-
tractor Stipp many encomiums, espec-
tally for the manner in which he
so successfully combatted the i'm
mense flow of water which was en-
countered half way down the thirty
five foot we'll in which the foundation
rests

Edwin l.. Everhart has at last made
n statement of his side of the alleged
conspiracy case. He claims 1t is a con-
spracy within a conspiracy.
When the Rinsland scandal eventu-
ated, he took to drinking heavily, he
says, and has since been on a continu-
Gus debauch. Several times he made
an effort to straighten up, but each
time his brooding drove him to further
drinking.
While in a condition bordering on in
sanity, he says, Lewis, who, he claims.
was the emissary of one of his enc
mics, insinuated himself into his con-
fdence and broached the scheme to gee
hold of the Everhart estate. What
ever he did, he says, was done when
he was wholly unaccountable for his
actions.
This latter claim has been corrobor-
ated to certain degree by the news
paper men who have made an unpreju-
diced investigation of the case.
Everhart had been drinking heavily
for weeks and on Monday night when
he went to the Turkish bath was in a
delirium from alcoholic poisoning.
1t is likely that Everhart will be re-
leased from Jail today. His father is
disposed to credit the story that the
sons hand was turned against him,
if it really was. by his enemies, when
he was out of his mind from brooding
and drink and this, coupled with the
fact that lie cannot bear the thought
of his boy being in Jail under the at
tendant circumstances, has prompted
him to acquiesce in the proposition
that the accused should be released on
condition that he will leave the coun-
try and live a new life. The bonds
man, 1t is said, will be provided by the
father.
The prisoner says he is to go to
South Africa and stay there. He will
secure an English grant. he says, and
with money that is to be placed at his
| disposal, conditionally, enter upon dia-
mOnd mining.
He appears to be sincere in his peni-
| tence and intentions.

j. Heerman's map of South Hyde Park,
and is improved with two frame dwell
ings. Attorney George d. Taylor rep
resents the plaintiff.
Attorney Ralph l.. Levy yesterday
began proceedings in n suit for tres
pass against the Scranton Railway
company, acting for Joseph Mikulski,
a miner living in Priceburg. The lat
ter claims that in the early part of the
month he was riding on a Providence
bound car about o'clock in the even
ing with several companions, and that
while getting off the car the conduc-
tor gave him a rough push and he fell
to the road, sustaining injuries which
confined him to his bed.
He had some trouble with the con-
ductor over the questions of transfers.
Shortly after he wished to get off the
car and the conductor, he alleges, said
to him, "Well, jump Off" His COM
panions sprang off without any in
jury. but he claims that as he was
getting off he was pushed and he
struck his head against large cobble
in the road.
Mikulski Is now Ill at his home in

A BRILLIANT RECITAL.
Given by the Hardenbergh School Of
Music in Guernsey Hall.

The closing recital of the Harden
bergh School of Music and Art was
held last night in Guernsey hall, when
an audience representative of the cul-
ture and discriminating taste of the
city crowded the auditorium to the
doors. The programme was charming
in its variety and character. The
piano numbers were given by pupils
of the school in a manner which show
ed most careful training, with the
confidence which such training gives.
The programme was carried through
entirely without notes by those who
gave the instrumental portion.
Miss Hudnut, one of the most pro-
flcient pupils of the school, displayed
remarkable execution in a Bach num-
Der in G minor following with a
Chopin waltz The brillaincy and dell
cacy of her touch were illustrated in
the Mason Romance. She has un-
doubtedly a career.
Miss Penwarden, another advanced
pupil, played several selections, not
ably one by Moskowski.
Mrs. Charles Adams played exceed
ingly well a waltz by Lack. Three lit
tie maids, Misses Margaret Acker,
FlOTeHCe NeDD anu 1ltltll iNtlStl, S"NC
several pleasing numbers with surpris-
ing beauty of touch and intelligence.
They have been under Miss Harden
bergl's instruction.
Alfred Wooler's solo. IAN Angel I'm
awares," composed by Mr.. Salter, was
one cf the successes of the evening.
Albert Pilling a pupil of Mr.. Wooler's,
sang delightfully."- "A Bandits Life"
following by "A Sailor Maid" COM
posed by MIR. Wooler. Mr.. Pilling has
big round, baritone, with a splendid
range, and mis- solos were much en-
joyed, as was also the duet with Mr..
Wooler.
The accompanist was Miss Louise
Hardenbergh, the fair daughter of
Hon. f. b. Hardenbergh, of Homes
dale. who, like her aunt, the head of
the School of Music, is a rarely ac-
complshed pianist. Mr.. Salter, the
New York teacher who is one of the
instructors, accompanied Mr.. Wooler
in his solo

We, The undersigned hotel and restaurant
keepers, holding licenses granted by the court
OF quarter sessions OF Lackawanna county, being
dcsirous Of observing the laws regulating the
sale Of liquors, hereby pledge ourselves TO oh.
serve said laws. We will not sell any liquor,
beer or other intoxicating drinks, or allow the
same to be sold on our respective premises on
Sundays or election days. and willVh every way
in our power 6iscountenance and discourage the
sale of intoxicating liquors by persons VINO do
not have n lieense.
On Sundays and election days we will give
the authorized agents of the Mems union access
to our premises for the purpose of ascertaining
whether this pledge is being violated. In wit.
ness whereof, we hereunto subscribe our names
this 18th day Of June, a. ID. 1900
1t was in pursuance of this agree
ment that the Mems union consented
to withhold the prosecutions against
the fifty-two licensed liquor dealers
who, it is alleged, were detected in Vio-
lations of the license laws. Last We'd
nesday nineteen of the cases were up
for a hearing on rules to revoke
licenses. Last Sunday three of these
nineteen, It Is claimed, were doing side
door business as usual.
WILL HAVE TO SHOW CAUSE.
When the rules in these cases come
up for final disposition, after the pre-
scribed period of probation, which ter
inmates in September, there will be
three liquor dealers, at least, who Will
be called upon to show why their
licenses should not be revoked, and 1t
Is safe to say they will have to make
a very elaborate showing If they sue
ceed in continuing in Possession of
their licenses.
One of the alleged offending parties,
the firm of O'Connor & Walsh, of 2lS
Lackawanna avenue, will be further
required to answer as defendants in a
criminal action for selling on Sunday.
A warrant for their arrest was issued
yesterday, and they will be given a
hearing today.
Attorney f. f. Beers, of counsel FOR
the Mems union, says that secret
agents of the union who were about
the city last Sunday to see If the pro-
bationers were observing the law, Sc
cured evidence that OConnor & Walsh
were selling drink, and Chief Agent
Robert Wilson went to the place.
GOT HIS FOOT IN.
He knocked on the side door, so he
reports, and Mr.. O'Connor answered
his knock. Agent Wilson demanded adj
mittance in pursuance to the terms oE
the agreement, but Mr.. O'Connor
would not let him in. Wilson, how
ever. got his foot between the door and
the jam and prevented its being closed
until he and one of his assistants saw,
so they claim, that the barroom was
crowded and that men were drinking
at the bar in large numbers.
You can say for the Mems union,
remarked Mr.. Beers, that it is not
likely that there will be any display of
leniency in this case or others of like
character. They are the limit"
The names of the others who, it is
alleged, broke faith with the union the
very first Sunday after the agreement
was signed would not be given out.
