CARPENTERS MEET.

There were two meetings OF the carpen-
ters' unions last evening when the ballot
ing for the office OF business agent was
carried on the meetings held being those
OF carpenters - and 1852 OF the italian
union. It was decided To withhold the re-
suit OF the ballotng till the meeting OF
the council on Friday night. It Is known,
however, that Mr.. Kearney has a very
strong following I'm the Italian local and
tho voting there was very strong so that
I'm all possibility the small majority of the
vote i'm local 632 will serve to throw the
balance OF power In his favor and he with
tt1p -HSStstHuCe OF the Machine Carpenters
union and the French local will be able
TO retain tho office Those who were not
present NJ the meeting on Monday night
I'm order 20 vote for him are hoping that
this will happen and are using every ef-
fort 10 have the balance changed
They all feel that though Mr. Mcdonald
has the ability 10 nh the position yet Mr..
Kearncy Is deserving OF much considera-
tion for the success he has brought TO the
craft and all the unions alike in the past.
They all willingly agree that had IL not
been for the work OF Mr.. Kearney and the
other officers OF the union this spring
there would very likely have been serious
trouble and they also say that he IS the
one man who has the movement at his
fingers end
Another reason urged for tho retaining
OF Mr. Kearney I'm the office is that Il is
right TO retain him I'm office at this time
for Individual reasons which are appar-
ent 10 all the members OF the craft Mr.
hearney, himself IS taking no active part
IN the campaign feleing that n his effortss
TO serve the craft have not been such ms
TO warrant them retaining him IN orfico
then he is willing that some one else take
up the work.

MRS. 7OLLk AGAIN
GETS SENTENCED
ITALIAN WOMAN STILL HOPES
SHE WILL NOT HAVE TO DIE
FOR HER CRIME.

JIACKENSACK, N. j.. Dec. 12.-Mrs
Antoinette Tolla, the young Italian
oman who shot and killed Joseph
Scnta, last March, because he perse'
cuted her with his attentions, wa
again sentenced to deathby Justice 8,
@. Garret;son, in the Court of Oyer
and Termincr this morning. The wo,
man was sentenced to lie on Frtday
January 12, between the hours of eig'
and ten A. NJ She heard her doom
without emotion.
Jerry Rosa, d young Italian, who
killed a countryman early In February,
1904, was also sentenced to die on the
same day and within the same hours,
50 that there will be a double execd'
tion on that day.
To-day was the second time that
Mrs. Tolla has been sentenced, ant!
it will probably be the last. The State
Courts have passed on her case and on
ly the board OF pardons remains 10 be
appealed to. 'rhis will be done, but
her attorneys believe there is little
hope.
She has been told that she must
probably die but she will not believe
it.
She argues that sonta, the man she
killed, came to her house when her
husband was absent and that it was
tIdeath for him or dishonor for her.
"What else could I do?" she says, in
her simple way.
Anna Valentino, who was convicted
of murder and will in all probability
also have to hang, has cell next to
Mrs. Tolla. She, too, bears up bravely
and has hopes that her life will be
spared.
