TWO SECRETARIES ARE
CHOSEN FOR CONVENTION
Temporary Organization Is Per-
fected After Some Wrangling
Among the Delegates.


Despite cries to go on, Chairman Geary
declined and said that the next order of
business was the nomination of temop-
rary secretary. Edwin E. Leake of Wood
land nominated H. s. Mason for the Of
flee. Charles B. Schaeffer of Santa Clara
was nominated. To avoid delay Super
visor Braunhart moved that both men be
elected temporary secretaries. This was
done by the convention.
G. A. Cutler of San Francisco made a
motion that a committee on credentials
be appointed. His motion was declared
to be indefinite in that It did not state
the number to be selected. Ex-Governor

tons and platform consisting of five from
the State at large and three from each
An objection was made to the amend
ment by delegate, who moved that the
rollcall presented by the secretary of the
convention be accepted as the rollcall OF
was also Governor Budd's amendment.
The original motion presented by Mr..
Cutler as amended to have five delegates
appointed committee on credentials was
adopted.
While Chairman Geary was debating on
his selections F. E. Johnson Of Napa
made motion to have fifteen appointed
to act as a committee on permanent or
der Of business and organization. The
motion was declared out of order.
Inc following BenlleI1en were appointed
a committee on credentials: G. A. Cut
ler G. e. Rosenberg, c. A. Dunbar, Kirk
Hall and E. J. Emmons.
Mr. Johnson renewed his motion to
have the committee of fifteen appointed
and another storm of disapprovaI fol-
lowed and 1t was lost. Governor Budd
on memorials, platforms and resolutions
appointed. Certain delegates evidently
feared that there was a movement on foot
by certain persons to secure control Of
the convention. They therefore objected
to the. motion. Despite their protests the
motion prevailed.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judge Archibald Rules That a Pat
ent Has Been Infringed.

Judge Archibald, of the United states
court, has forwarded to the Circuit
court clerk at Philadelphia an opinion
in the patent infringement case of the
Daylight Prism company against the
Marcus Prism company, in which he
decides that the plaintiffs patent is
valid and has been infringed by the de-
fendant
The parties are manufacturers Of
glass prism ContrivanCes designed to
light dark interiors, by first rcfracting
and then diffusing the suns rays.
The decision is an extremely import
ant one from a commercial standpoint,
as this new-fangled idea has already
begun a revolution in building plans in
the larger cities. Before the practical
introduction of this idea into building
plans, it was necessary in construct
ing large buildings to devote a large
amount of space to areaways to light
the interior apartments. This prism
contrivanCe makes 1t possible to con-
tract these areaways into compare
lively iuconsidcrable space. By means
of the prisms. light can be- carried
about and delivered quite as readily as

He Sewers His Connection with St
Pauls Lutheran Church, of
South Scranton.

Rev. Alfred Ballhorn. pastor of st.
Pauls Evangelical Lutheran church,
on Prospect avenue, has rendered his
resignation to take effect on November
IL. The resignation has been accepted
and the congregation is now looking
about for available candidates to sue
ceed him.
Rev. Mr.. Balhorn said last night
that his health has been poor for the

some months ago that the climate
here was disagreeing with him. He
said that he has three calls from as
many churches, but refused to tell the
names of the churches.
Rev. Mr.. Ballhorn came to this city
a little over two years ago from New
ark, y. j., and has succeeded during
his pastorate in freeing the church
from debt. He has become very popu-
lar with the members of his congrega -
tion, who are 10th to have him de-
part.

BINGHAMToNIANs VISIT US.
Large Excursion Comes from the
Parlor City.

About $50 Binghamtonians came here
yesterday on an excursion conducted
by the Painters Union. They arrived
here over the LaCkawanna at 10 o'clock
a. m. and remained until s o'clock in
the evening. Their announced des-
tnation was Nay Aug park, but the
majority of them spent the day in
looking about to see what a real live
city is like
Eight thousand Scrantonians went
to the park during the afternoon to
have look" at the Parlor city peo-
pie
The Binghamtonians found much
about the city and in the park to mar
vel at. This is especially true about
the park. The moving picture exhibit
ton was particularly well patronized.
The proprietor had arranged TO show
Il picture of the Lackawanna car shops
in full operation on the beautiful
banks of the Chenango, the whole
framed in Il wreath of poppy smoke,
but through some miscarriage of the
mechanism the thing wouldn't move.

For Allentown Fair,

The Allentown Fair is by all odds
one of the most unique exhibitions of
the country. Its attendance is simply
enormous and why you ask. Everything
is complete to the minutest detail. The
entertainments are exceptionally fine.
The live stock show has no equal. The
fruit and vegetable exhibits are among
the finest procurable. and with the
genuine good time always found at AL
lentoWn, there is no reason why the
fair should not be popular. On the days
Of the fair the New Jersey Central
will sell reduced rate tickets to Allen
town and special trains will be run
from various points.
