STOLE A BABY.
Intended to Bring It
Back,
But He Ran When He Saw
Mother Coming.

Washington, Pa, Aug, 21-A pecu-
liar and exceptional case was that of
10-year-old Alva Breeze, who was be-
fore Justice Of the Peace Preston Ber-
ry, of West Washington, today, on
the charge Of kidnapping 2-year-old
child. The offender has already made
a record that would do credit to D.
cent novel villain. Five times during
the past six months he has run off
from home, and once he has been
charged with horse stealing. On ac-
count of his tender years James Kill
gore, who had the youth arrested for
kidnapping his baby, withdrew the
charge, and the mother of the lad
promised to keep him at home here
after.
The boy disappeared last week and
turned up in West Washington, last
Thursday, and stopped at the Kill
gore residence. During the absence
of Mrs. Kilgore from the house he
took the little Kilgore child in baby
carriage and started out of town.
The mother missed her babe, and
starting to find 1t, saw young Breeze
wheeling it along the National pike
toward Claysville. When Breeze dis
covered her following he pushed his
young charge along at rapid gait
and tried to evade Mrs. Kilgore
When arrested the boy denied he had
any intentions of stealing the baby
and said that he expected to bring II

BIG INCREASE
INBUSINESS
Silver Lake Season HIS Been 1
Record Breaner.

The excursion business at Silver lake
this season has been record-breaking.
Never in the history of Silver lake
has there been such prosperous busi-
ness done there. This has been known
as an "off year" in summer resort bust
ness on account of cool weather and
almost daily rains.
In addition to this, railroads were
unable to carry q great many of the
excursions promoted by the Silver
Lake Excursion agent, Mr.. G. S. Will
ford. The b. e. o.. was handicapped
by being unable to furnish motive
power and the Pennsylvania at times
was unable to furnish coaches for
special service. The season at the
lake practically closes with Labor day
| Saturday, Aug. 80 will be big day
at the lake, being the date of the
Farmers picnic.

To Be a Candidate
For Congress.
"A Labor Ticket In the
18th District.
Youngstown Man Will Have a
Lively Contest.

East Liverpool, o., Aug. 21-There
is every prospect that there will be
a labor candidate for Congress in the
Eighteenth District this fall, and the
indications are that he will be Thomas
J. Duffy, of this city, the secretary OF
National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters. There are upwards Of 200
labor unions in the district, and there
is general feeling that by jealous
effort they can make showing that
will give James Kennedy, Of Youngs-
town. the Republican candidate, a
close run. and the promoters Of the
plan are confident of victory at the
polls.
A call has been sent out by the ALI
hnce Central Labor Union asking each
local union to send delegates to a
convention, to be held in that city
next Saturday, to consider the advis-
ability OF putting n candidate in the
6eld, and of selecting the nominee, IL
The question is decided atfirmatiyely.
Each local union and each centralunoin
will be entitled to three delegates.
There is every prospect Of majority
Df the locals being represented
The only candidates thus far men
fioned are L. ]. Duffy, Of this city,
and Charles Bonsall.
Mr.. Duffy is Democrat though he
has never been active in politics.
The Democrats have not yet set a
late for their district convention, but
they are watching the labor movement
with interest. and their leaders here
appear to be quite ready to jump in
and boost it along.
Chairman Ed Cook, of the local Cen
tral committee, is outspoken in his
support of Duffy, He said yesterday:
sThere is nothing to prevent the
Democratic party from electing Il. w
Tayler's successor in Congress, ant
we are going to make hard fight to
do It. There will be no opposition In
either Columbinna or Mahoning coun
ties to the man we will present, and
we win present the name of Thomas
J. Duffy"
Much quiet work in his behalf has
already been done by the local Demo
cracy. This is the Democrats yeal
for winning. Tint party elected
Congressman in 1872, 1882, and 1so.
In this district, and will name the
winner in 1902.
Republican leaders profess not to b'
alarmed by the prospect. They say th'
labor move Is merely scheme of {
handful of dsgruntled Republicans
in Alliance, who were dissatisfied will
the result of the Salem convention
and that there is no fear Of any de
fection of moment.
