DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Colonel Fitzsimmons Says It Could
Have Been Brought Here

Colonel +. j. Fitzsimmons, who re-
turned last night from the meeting of
the Democratic state committee held
in Harrisburg, stated to Tribune
man that if any kind of an effort had
been made to secure the convention for
Scranton it could have been brought
here instead of to Erie.
II had members from all parts Of
state come to me on Tuesday night"
said he, "and offer to vote for this
city if I put forward IL claim for the
convention but + was not able to do
this because I had no right to make
any promises on my own account. A
good sized delegation was present from
Erie but ] believe that the supporters
of that city could have been beaten
had we had any kind of q committee
from this city with any kind of an
argument to offer. To my mind the
convention was just laying there ready
for us to pick up
The colonel said that there are in
reality no full tledged prospective
Democratic gubernatorial candidates
in the field as yet. A few names are
being mentioned. Attorney T. p.
Hoban, chairman of the county COM
mittee, also attended the meeting.

1T WILL GROW COLDER.
Drop in Temperature Will Follow
Yesterdays Cyclone.

Meteorologically speaking, a cyclone
prevailed all of yesterday throughout
this region. 1t was wanting in the de-
vastating properties which would cause
it to rise to the dignity OF tornado,
but it had attendant features which
would entitle it, at least, to safe
place in the SIMEON category.
Ftful, gyratng winds, surcharged
with dust, made life Out-of-doors mis-
cradle in the extreme and covered
everything indoors, to which it had
access, With coating of grit that
would cause one to believe he was
living in the vicinity of Sahara.
According to Weatherman Clarke,
this Whirling wind storm has come all
the way from Kansas, and like all cy-
| clonic storms, Is preceded by a hot and
followed by n cold wave. In Michigan,
where the rotary, storm was en-
perenced Tuesday there was snow
yesterday, and in the rest of the re-
gion there was a drop in the tempera-
ture in forty-eight hours of from
20 to 80 degrees.
Mr.. Clarke expects that by o'clock
this morning the temperature here will
be down to 40 degrees. Tuesday it was
I'm the neighborhood of so degrees.

A PROPOSED SUBWAY.
D., L. & w. Company Will Build One
Under South Washington Ave
nue. if Councils Permit.

An effort will be made shortly to
secure the passage of an ordinance
by councils providing for the construc-
ton by the Della ware, Lackawanna 4
Western company Of a subway under
it's tracks where the latter cross South
Washington avenue and deciding to
the company the surface now occupied
and used as a street.
In other words the company wants
the space now occupied by the street
and would be willing to spend be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in the con-
struction Of q subway to secure this
use. the subway to be used, of course,
as IL street.
The first plans for the proposed SUBJ
way are in the possession of Director
of Public Works Roche and provide for
tunnel same 500 feet long beginning
just below the iron railroad bridge and
ending below the car shops. Before
Director Roche will approve the plans
the company must agree to have this
subway SO feet wide. A width Of AZ
feet is provided for in the plans now
in his possession but this is not DEEM
ed wide enough.
The company proposes to construct
this subway free of cost to the city and
it is contended that it would be to the
city's interests to accept the offer be-
cause by so doing the grade crossing
would be done away with and the
steep grade met with on the other side
Of the tracks would be rendered more
easy for travel
AS soon as the plans meet with the
approval of Director Roche they will
be submitted to councils together with
the ordinance above mentioned.

Resident of Jones Street Mixed VI
in Trouble.

Two gentleman from Jones street.
North Scranton. named Barney Pitca-
vich and Barney Lincavich, have been
having trouble of various kinds for
some time. Lincavich caused Pitca-
vich's arrest last week on IL charge of

Pitcavich was obliged to pay the $40

This caused him to become much
enraged and he swore out a warrant
for Lncavich's arrest yesterday before
Alderman Ruddy charging him with
perjury. He swore that he owed no
money whatever to Lincavich and that
it was an outrage to compel him to pay

Alderman Ruddy held Lincavch un-

and George Walonis, who We're arrest
ed later on the same charge. Pitca-
vich claims that the latter two swore
in Alderman Howe's court that he pit

The liver is the great housekeeper
of our health. On it's right and proper
action depends our enjoyment of life.
One of the comnonest indications of u
disordered and diseased liver is nasty
tongue-furred and coated. such a con-
dtion is positive proof that the liver is
not working we'll. Other symptoms arc
as follows: nauseous taste in the
mouth, pains under the shoulder blades
and IN the region of the kidneys. F",-
quently the mental symptoms of liver
trouble are more dangerous than the
bodily ills. Sufferers experience ment-
al anguish, gloomy forebodings, me,un-
choly, and general feeling OF disgust
with life.
When these bodily and mental
troubles are experienced, your liver
tells you it needs immediate help. If
the proper medicine is not used at once,
sickness and death follow.
Paine's Celery Compound is the one
great specific for the cure of liver
troubles. 1t always acts gently ana
effectively on the root of the evils.

LECTURE OF BISHOP FOWLER
Will Speak on "Abraham Lincoln" in
the High School,

Bishop Fowler's lecture at the high
school on Abraham Lincoln will begin
promptly at o'clock, tonight. The
coming of Bishop Fowler is an event
of more than ordinary interest. He is
today not only one Of the very few
great orators of the world but he is
the only surviving link between the
splendid pulpit oratory Of the past
generation.
Bishop Fowler has been in closer
touch with the mightest minds of two
great periods in our nations history
than any other man now living. A
striking illustration of this was
brought out last September While
the bishops home is in Buffalo he
was in Minneapolis at the time of the
tragedy which appalled, the world
Hastening home after the announce
ment of the presidents death. he was
met at his hotel in Chicago by a dele
CATION of members from a certain
famous club in that city whose boast
has been that it has made and unmade
more presidents than any other similar
organization in the country and was
invited by them to give the funeral
grafton which the city was planning
The bishop was struck with singular
coincidence. Thirty-siX years before
he had been approached by a commit
tee from the same celebrated club and
had been requested to give a similar
Grafton over the death of a man, dear
to him as his own life-the friend and
hero of his young manhood-Abraham
Lincoln, whose assassination had
seemed to arrest the sun of the uni
verse.
1t was a remarkable incident in
this day of the swift passing of public
recognition of even the most tram
scendent abilities that a man could
thus hold his own through the Vicis-
studes of time and be still acknowl-
edged as an orator whose power had
not waned after the lapse of nearly
forty years but was considered to be
one best fitted to speak on a national
calamity to the people OF great city
who had selected him out of all his
countrymen to voice their woe on the
occasion of u previous affliction.

Late Last Night.

O'Clock, found the dead body of a wo-
man lying alongside the track.
Her head and side We're badly bruised,
and the indications were that she had
been dragged some distance on the
track. 1t is supposed she was run
down by train during the early even
ing.
She was about 80 years of age, with
hair tinged with gray. She wore a
cheap wrapper and sunbonnet. The
remains were given in charge of Un-
dertaker Barrett. Up to midnight they
were not identified. Coroner Saltry

They were employed at the new air.

pany, high up on the Moosic mountain,
several miles from Peckvile.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
Barber felt that some danger threat
ened and. looking about. saw the
vicious eyes Of a panther fastened upon
him.
Barber is an old time hunter, and
he recognized the danger and the ami
NAL instantly. for the panther was only
short distance away.
ITO the trees" he shouted to his fell
low worlimen. and instantly there was
q rush for the tall hemlocks, which
nature had kindly placed close at hand.
And how these men did climb.
"It's quite Il while since Skinned up
Il tree BEFORE" said Barber last night,
but ] hadn't forgotten the knack. The
way we did go up was caution, l can
tell you. Soon we were perched on the
high limbs, and then we were seized by
the horrible fear that his partnership
would come up after us. When we
went up we forgot for the moment that
the panther is pretty good on the
climb, too, and he was right close at
hand.
This particular panther must have
had that tired feeling that spring in
duces, for, after watching us and
crouching several times, as if prepar-
ing to spring, he swished his tail and
logged off toward the Consumers Pow
der company's plant. We didn't come
down right away. We let the panther
get a good start"
There was great excitement at Peck
vilel yesterday, when information of
the presence of a panther in the vcin-
ity was received, and Barber and his
companions We're the heroes of the
hour, when they returned and told the
story of their adventure
