After the evidence for the plaintiff
was all in yesterday in the ejectment
case of w. G.. Miller against George
w. Cramer and John Cure an appllca-
ton for a non-sut was made by the
attorneys for the defense and allowed
by Judge Newcomb on the ground that
the land was not properly described.
Before Judge Edwards the case of
the Chase Brothers company, Rochest-
er nurserymen, against DR.. S. w.
Lamoreaux was called. The plaintiffs
sued to recover 500 for blackberry
bushes furnished to DIR. Lamoreaux,
and for which he did not pay. There
was no appearance for the defendant
and a verdict of $120 claim and costs
was awarded the plaintiffs.
The suit of Martin Dolphin against
the borough of Dunmore was next
called before Judge Edwards. He asks
$4,000 for the death of his 19-months-
old boy. While the father had the boy
out walking on Webster avenue, Dun
more, in April. 1900, they came to a
place where at the crossing the side
walk was very much higher than the
roadway and the child fell in getting
down and fractured his hip. While the
childs leg was encased in plaster OF
paris he contracted pneumonia and
died. Dolphin is represented by Attor-
neys c. Balentine and George Howell
and the borough by Borough Solicitor
J. w. Mcdonald and J. Fl. Burns.
After the evidence for the plaintiff
was in Attorney Burns asked for a
non-suit on the ground that the father
contributed to the accident the child
suffered and that there was not suf1i-
cient evidence that the accident caused
death. MIR. Burns made his argument
based on these propositions and Mr..
Balentine will reply to him this MORN
ing.
Just as the case of Bridget Golden
against the Scranton Railway COM
pany was about to go to trial yester-
day morning a continuance pending a
settlement was requested and granted.
The plaintiff has a property on Rail-
road avenue which she claims has been
damaged to the extent of $4,000 by the
raising Of the grade of the street.

With about all the convention excite.
ment that could be we'll crowded into
the day, the Lackawanna Democrats
one headed by Congressman William
Connell,. the Republican nominee, and
the other by George Howell.
The delegates who We're supporters
of NJ. p. Flynn for chairman were pre-.
vented from having any part in the
proceedings of the convention called
at Music hall. and leaving the convcn-
tion in body, met in Melvin's hall on
upper Lackaxanna avenue, organized
The Independent Democratic party and
named ticket as follows:
For Congress-Hon. William Con-
nell.
For Orphans Court Judge-Thomas
P. Hoban.
For County Commissioners-John
]. Durkin and Victor Burschell.
For Mine Inspectors-P. j. Moore
and Patrick Blewitt.
The delegates who adhered to John
J. Fahcy for chairman had two sessions
at Music hall and nominated the fol-
lowing ticket:
For Congress-George Howell
For Orphans Court Judge-Hon.
M. F. Sando.
For County Commissioners-John
j. Durkin and Victor Burschell.
For Mine Inspector-P. j. Moore.
The split was the result of high
handed proceedings on the part of the
Fahey faction to defeat the will of the
majority of the delegates who wanted
to endorse the candidacy of Congress-
man Conncll. Alleging that the state
rules authorize it and that the state
rules were applicable to a county con-
vention, the Fahey-S acknowledgement fac
tion had the executive committee ap-
point Fahey as chairman in place Of
County Chairman Il. p. Hoban, who
was absent on account of the death Of
his mother and then by ousting most
of the Flynn delegates with the aid OF
fake contests, and by refusing to en-
tertain motions other than those on
the machine programme. they got full
control and went through some semb-
lance of convention business.
The Flynn men had 132 of the 191
delegates and felt sure Of success. They
had not counted, though. on encounterl
ing anything quite so tiagrantly ire
gular as was practiced by the opposi-
tion.

CONVENTION WAS
BOSSED BY FAHEY

The Fahey adherents knew the night
| before that they would be outnum-
bered in the convention and set out al
once to overcome numbers by strategy
Men on whom they could rely We're sent
| for to report at Hotel Schadt at 8
| O'Clock in the morning to act as con-
testants. The regularly elected dele
gates who were pledged to vote for
Fahey and the contestants who We're
to be substituted for the Flynn men
We're each provided with blue Acad-
emy OF Music door check and instruct

convention hall.

County Chairman Hobans name pt.int-
ed thereon We're prepared the night be-
fore for distribution among all the dele
gates, but the Fahey crowd did not
take any of them. The Flynn delegates
We're given these yellow tickets at the
Valley house.
About 1890 o'clock the leaders of the
Fancy faction gained an entrance to
Music hall from Center street, and
TOOK possession of the stage. Sheriff
Schadt then went to the I.ackawanna
avenue entrance, which was guarded
by Park Policeman Callahan, Deputy
Sherirt John j. Coyne, Emmett Ciurrell
and number of other stalwart adher-
ents of the sheriff. Captain Williams
and squad of six patromen We're
standing about waiting for anything
that might turn up which would de-
mand their attention. Sheriff Schadt
thought it good idea to have the no.

out the Fahey programme, and sum-
moning Captain Williams. showed him
one Of the blue tickets and informed
him that none but those bearing the
blue ticket should be admitted.
BLUES HAD RIGHT OF WAY.
The Fahey men coming from the east
and the Flynn men coming from the
west were each jammed solidly against
each other and both against the doors.
At signal from the sheriff the doors
We're swing open and the crush began.
A delegate who would hold up a blue
ticket would be pulled out of the jam
by one Of Schadt's assistants and
passed on into the hallway. A dele
gate displaying yellow ticket would
DC pushed back and away and not in
frequently roughly handled. The
Fiynn men protested and threatened

schadt and his allies held firm.
For about fifteen minutes the weed

IN Schadt saw there were no more blue
tickets being held up, and figuring that
