When Site Man-led Him in This City Havoc Wrought By an Explosion. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 21.—The Dauphin county court this morning handed down a decision in the matter of the contest over the Republican nomination for Congress in the Luzerne district, which was heard at length by the court last week. The decision declares invalid the certificates of nomination filed by both Congressman Henry W. Palmer and Dr. B. J. Cobleigli. Slie Was liul 15 Years Old— Stubbing Affray Recalled, slons. Declares that Glbboiiey's Nomination The murder of Dominic Coluzzi, at Berwick, yesterday morning, has caused a great deal of comment among Italians of th'is vicinity, as Coluzzi was well known among his fellow countrymen here. The widow of the murdered man, who was married to him in this city only four months ago,#fo but 15 years old and her case is particularly sad. She has been in this country for only a year and as yet knows practically nothing of the English language. She to very attractive In appearance and seemed devoted to her husband. She was the first one to reach the body after the shooting and her friends later reported to the Berwick police that she was searching for a revolver to try and commit suicide.Mr. Taft added that tho United States peace emissaries are occupying a most delicate position and have undertaken to hear all complaints aud that until they have made themselves thoroughly conversant with the political tunnoil of Cuba they cannot express themselves freely In the conferences. The only counsel to the political leaders given by Mr. Taft whs on the subject of not engaging in further agitation that might make Intervention by the United i$utes necessary. This advice he offers freely to all to whom gives audience, regardless of party.

With the surgeons and nurses of the hospital assembled about the operating table Dr. Rublee had just begun to drill into the terribly injured skull when a fellow surgeon told him it would be useless to go farther with the operation, as the patient was unquestionably dead. aiwl He Will Prove Miss Taylor has been In New York since the cup trials began and has been almost a dally visitor to the course. She is devoted to automoblllng and is fascinated by the sport of racing powerful cars. She met Tracy and persuaded him to take her for a spin over the course in the powerful car which he Is to drive in the race tomorrow and not only enjoyed the thrilling ride, but encouraged the reckless driver to push the car to the limit of its speed. Girl Takes Spin In Car. What 11c Says. Philadelphia, Sept. 21.—Mayor Weaver, charging that the nomination of D. Clarence Gibboney, secretary of the Uw and Order society, for the office of district attorney by the City party convention was procured through bribery, announced that he would furnish the proof of his charge to the convention, which will meet again tonlKht. After reviewing the testimony in the case at considerable length, the court says that, according to the evidence, the Republican county convention did not reach any result on the vote for Congress and, therefore, did not make any nomination. The otllcers of the convention did not, therefore, have any right to so certify. 100 WERE KILLED Property Loss May Reach a Million Dollars. According to well Informed attorneys, the decision of the court has the effect of leaving a vacancy in the Republican Congressional nomination in this county. Under the party rules, the county committee is authorized to fill any vacancy that may exist between the time of the convention and the election. l,t is taken for granted, therefore, that the county committee will name the candidate for Congress, to be placed in the Republican column on the official ballot. It being conceded that a majority of the members of the county committee are The City party Is a reform organization opposed to the regular Republican party. Its convention was held Tuesday, and Mayor Weaver's choice for the office of district attorney was Frederick J. Shoyer, former director of supplies. On several occasions since then Miss Taylor has been over the course with Tracy, and It was on one of these wild rides, but when the car had been slowed down so as to make conversation possible, that Tracy told of Ills great ambition to win his companion.

The officials of Berwick arc an much •In the dark regarding the motive for the murder or the identity of the murderers as they were yesterday morninf immediately after the crime was committed. A loaded revolver was found near the spot from which the shooting was done. Whether the men they have met In Havana represent the sentiment of the entire Island Is a question that is troubling the American mediators. There Is some fear that even If the entanglement Is straightened out here the opposing forces lu the provinces will not be satlstled. On this point the mediators are confronted with their chief difficulty, for no way has been devised to obtain the sentiments of those in the field, without treating with armed forces, which might be regarded as a recognition of the Insurgents. Senator Alfredo Znyas, leader of the Liberals, is generally regarded ,j»s the  representative of the revolution, but he cannot claim that distinction lu negotiating with Secretary Taft, as that would make him an insurgent. London, Ky., Sept. 21.—A dispatch from Jellico, Tenn., says two carloads of dynamite exploded there thlis morning. A Standard Oil tank was destroyed and a great part of the town demolished.The physicians began to clean their Instruments and sent for a porter to carry the body awny. D. Clarence Gibboney, who is alpo real estate deputy 'in the sheriff's office, was nominated by a majority of 29 votes.

The proposal In the racing car was really sudden, and Miss Taylor doubtless so characterized It, but her answer redoubled tho ambition and determination of Tracy to drive his oar to victory at all hatards, for Miss Taylor said, "I'll marry you at once if you D It is recalled that the stabbing affray In thin city in which Coluzzi was the victim was very unusual in many particulars. It was the result of a fight and. following it. the police force made four arrests within a few hours of the trouble. It was feared that Coluzzi would die. and the four prisoners were brought, before him about midnight. A* ttny iueed him he pieked out Leo Test as the man who had wielded the knife, and Test was held. Again at the hospital he said Test was the man who stabbed him. As he grew better he denied that Test wap the. man responsible for h?s wounds, and when he left the hospital he had a warrant issued for Frank Aufirre, charging him with felonious wounding. This interferred with the case of the police against Test and it was not pressed. Aufirre was held for court and indicted. His trial was to have cr»me up last week, but he failed to appear and his bail was forfeited. The explosion occurred on the Louisville and Nashville track at the depot. "Dead" Man Speaks.

One rea son for the desire for aecrecy was that Miss Taylor's family if they learned of the conditional engagement Into which she had entered might forbid her marriage, but there Is not time now before I the race for any of the members of the family to reach New York, and she Intends to llvo up to her promise, and If Tracy Is successful they will be married either directly after the race or on the day following.

Mayor Weaver held a conference In his private office with Mr. Shoyer and three lawyers, Ormond Ranibo, his personal counsel; Thomas Raeburn White, counsel for the committee of seventy, a reform body of citizens, and Henry P. Brown. During the conference, many delegates to the city hall convention and others interested In the reform movement were admitted to the mayor's office. At midnight, the mayor made public his reply to Ml-, (ribboney's letter. He suggests that instead of the members of his advisory board, the matter be submitted to men not active (n politics. With this view he states that he has selected Lawyers Rambo, White and Brown to pass upon his evidence, which he says will be put in shape to send to the convention tonight.

What could be more Irish, for Instance, than the behavior of the great Turkish hero of so many stories, Nasred-DIn riodga, when a neighbor came to borrow his donkey. "My donkey is not here," he said. The words were scarcely out of his mouth when the animal brayed loudly. "Hut your donkey Is here: I can hear him," cried the neighbor. "What!" shouted the enraged Turk. "Do you mean to say you believe my donkey before you believe me?" JnNttee of Ineqnnlity Senntor Zayas has been received by Messrs.
