Heavy Wholesale Team Crushed Into Front of InW Jewelry Store, Eagle Hose Company Will go to Wash- Nominatsd by Democrats at Hughes Nominated for the Destroyed by Typhoon in Philippines. ington, ID. C., and Gettysburg on An Agreement Reached in Convention hall was packed to overflowing when It was expected the twice postponed second session of the convention would be called to order. It was realized that this was the crucial meeting of the convention. But Damage Was Small. a Week's Jaunt, ttfu » Cuba. d Buffalo. Governorship. A lively runaway that occurred on William street this morning about 8 o'clock was somewhat remarkable In Its results. The heavy delivery wagon of the wholesale firm of Sutherland & McMillan, drawn by two heavy horses, with James Quinn as driver, was passing down the William street hill, when the clevis connecting the whlffletree to the wagon broke. When the whlffletroe dangled against the horse's heels he became frightened and started to run, his mate going with him. The driver applied the brake and did his best to stop the frightened team, but was unable to do so, as the loose whiffletree continued to strike the horse's legs repeatedly. Finally Quinn was jolted off the high seat, but fortunately landed on his feet and was not injured. The horses continued to run down the street,*and in making the turn to go down Main street swerved across the street, and crashed almost headlong into the front of James A. Lewis' Jewelry store, in the Joel Brenton building. One of the horses fell on the sidewalk, but escaped without being Injured, as did the other. The pole of the wagon struck the woodwork at the side of the entrance to Garrison's store, then scraped along the bottom of the window casing without damaging the window pane, Jammed a hole in the edge of the window casing, and finally pushed through the two lower panes of glass In the show window on the lower side of the store. Remarkable as it may seem, the mirrors that form the back of the show case were not damaged in the least. The show window was filled with chlnaware, but only a few pieces were broken, anri Mr. Lewis' loss will be only a few dollars. The runaway attracted a large crowd of people, who, when they saw the situation, expressed considerable surprise that the damage done was so small. The members of tho Eagle Hose Co. and their friends, to the number of 90, will leave next Monday on a Jaunt of a week, during which they will visit the national capital and the historic battlefield of Gettysburg. They will leave Wiilkesbarre next Monday morning on special cars attached to the Pennsylvania train. They will have two special coaches and a baggage car for their exclusive use. The baggage car will be kept well stocked with eatables and refreshments, so that none of the party will need to be hungry or thirsty. They expect to reach Washington about 4:40 in the afternoon and will stay until Wednesday afternoon, taking in the sights of the city. On Wednesday their cars will be attached to a train bound for Hanover Junction, where they will be transferred, and they will reach Gettysburg Thursday in time for the State Firemen's parade, in which they will participate. The company Is considering the matter of entering the drill squad In tho drilling competition, but this question has not been fully decided. On Saturday the party will leave for Harrlsburg and will stop off there about .three hours to have a look at the new State capltol and the world-famous bronze doors. They expect to reach Wilkesbarre at 7:50 Saturday evening, and will got home again some time after 8 o'clock.

There was plenty of dynamite In Havana, they said, to destroy foreign property and thus bring about intervention b.v Germany or perhaps by Great Britain. Hughes 8ends Acceptance. 'lliis Morning and is Now Mr. Hughes telegraphed from New York his acceptance of the nomination In the following words: in Progress. George Raines of Allegany named Congressman William Sulzer. The only other name placed before the uouven* tlon was that of John A. Dlx. The speech that attracted most attention from the delegates was that of Bourke Cockran, in which he defended'his advocacy of Mr. Hearst's nomination. Mr. Cockran had already addressed the convention when called upon by Chairman Lewis Nixon to submit the platform. A verdict of guilty was returned in Murphy In Control. «Mirt this morning la thCTCffW against Ex-Squire Michael ILiggins, of Pittston towflshtp, and Ex-Supervisor Patrick McGroarty, of Plains township, who is now a resident of Luzerne borough. The defendants were placed on trial yesterday morning, charged with conspiracy in cheating and defrauding the township of Plains out of $89 on a fraudulent judgment, alleged to have been secured in favor of a fictitious claimant. The testimony in this case, was practically the same as that adduced in the case against Martin Barrett, of Pittston township, who was convicted of forgery in having made out a transcript of Judgment alleged to have been given by the late 'Squire Motlska against Marcy township. The manufacturer of the paper on which the forged transcript was written was the principal witness. As in the Barrett case, the defense chose not to present any testimony, but closing addresses were made to the jury, which retired about four o'clock yesterday afternoon and returned a verdict as soon as court opened this morning. Alurytiy-mmfr-tUn complete mftster Of the situation. Ills lieutenant, Congressman Bourke Cockran, wrote the platform. Ills man Qrudy ran the contests."The Itepubllcan party lias been (railed to defend the honor* of the state and to represent the common sense of the people and the cause of decent government. I shall accept the nomination without pledge other than to do my duty according to my conscience. If elected it will be my ambition to give the state a sane, efficient and honorable administration, free from talpt or bosslsm or of servitude to any private interest. A united party making an appeal to good citizenship must win." loans was interrupted. These facts is thought were' made the basis* for the tidal wave rumor. THE ELOQUENT NUDGE. The convention held a nine minute morning session and adjourned until the afternoon. The committees were not ready to report. Murphy could not hold his Tammany caucus until he was sure the committee on credentials had voted against ail the antl-llearst delegates. A few delegates struggled up to the hnll at 2 and the convention was adjourned until 0:30 o'clock In the evening. It was annouueed by Murphy that he would demand an all night session If necessary to complete the work of the convention. Meantime the anti- Hearst men had been perfecting their programme of obstruction. They hud arranged for speeches, for minority reports and to make all the trouble possible for MUrphy and Hearst. An Incident Illustrating a Trait In Woman'! Nature. "Do you boo the woman walking In front of us there?" usked the man with the fashionable tie to the friend who was strollfng tip Broadway with him. "Do you notice anything particularly striking ubout her? Nothing, except that she Is very well djressed? That's what I would say. Now, I'll bet you half a dollar that when she pusses the three women walking Just ahead of lier all three will nudge each other simultaneously."Would Destroy European Property. Cockran Explains Stand It was suggested that the destruction of the German bank uml the damaging of English railroad property would soou result In European Intervention. Certain American properties also were specifically mentioned as convenient for such attacks. Several speakers even said thot they would prefer Germany or Great Britain In Cuba to the United States. Mr. Cockran said he supported Mr. Hearst because as a Democrat he could uot hel]) 't. "It Is not because I have any personal liking for the man or that I am his friend," said Mr. Cockran. No unusual features marked the proceedings of the day. The speech of the permanent chairman was largely a review of state conditions, a compllatlop of facts and figures relative to state administration, for which the Itepubllcan party was given all the credit, with an argument to continue In power tho party which had been In responsible coutrol of the state government for a dozen years. It also pointed out dangers which the speaker believed would eusue If the opposition, with radical and untried Ideas, should supplant the party In power. General Stewart L. Woodford of New York, former United States minister to Spain, chairman of tho committee on resolutions, read the platform. Mr. Bradley was In the employ of the Pennsylvania Coal Co. for many years until ill health compelled him to relinquish his work. His last position was that of flreboss in the Hoyt shaft, where he was employed for ten years. The deceased was a man of sterling character, honest, faithful and true in his home, among his fellowmen and also in the Christian church. He entered on his Christian career some 4 5 years ago and was faithful until death. He was a member of the Welsh Baptist church and served in tho capacity of deacon for many Mr. Cockran said he came to the convention eager to find a candidate who could be elected. "I had hoped tills candidate would lie another beside him we arc advocating, but no one else came up to the measure." The wouian behind was walking faster than the three In front and she soon passed them. The three women looked her over from foot to head, then nudged each other with their elbows as If possessed with the same thought. In describing the situation Secretary Taft said: "The Moderutes determined to force American Intervention by the resignation of government officers, thus leaving affairs in our hands. President Pulma chose to regard ou» ■tiggestlona as a demand, and he rejected theui emphatically. We acquainted Alfredo Zayas, the Liberal leader, with the situation, und he undertook to induce his associates to consent to the original proposition of the Moderates—namely, that the insurgents lay down their arms and submit the entire controversy to the American commission, but the rebel commanders and uieu in the field suspected insincerity on the part of the government and declined. The n£gro insurgents especially Insisted on retaining their arms until peace was assured. Zayas' report is Indicative of future trouble with the lawless element of the rebels. 1 feel certain that a settlement of the trouble Is possible only along the lines suggested by us." If Hearst represented socialistic ideas, he said, many of those who opposed him represented corruption ludescribabk'."How did you know It?" Inquired the friend us the other pocketed the hulf dollar. Tammany Supports Hearst, As soon as the above case was disposed of th|a morning, the charge of conspiracy Jointly against Martin Barrett, 'Squire Higgins and Patrick Mc- Groarty was called for trial. Some trouble was experienced in securing twelve acceptable men to serve as jurors, but after several hours' examination. the jury was completed, and the taking of testimony was started. '"By a bare majority of the Tammany delegation Charles It*. Murphy jammed through an Indorsement of William It. Hearst In the Tammany caucus. "If I must choose between rottenness and riot I must choose riot; for that can be cured, but rottenness, never." years. The funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the family home. The services will be conducted by Rev. W. D. Thomas, and the interment will be made In Pittston cemetery. "I didn't know It," was the reply. "If I had It would have been taking an unfair advantage of you to bet. But I was reasonably certain of It. There Is a certain Indescribable something In some women's manner, appearance and carriage that causes all other women to nudge each other at sight of her. I couldn't tell you just what It Is, but I'm ready to put up a wager on It every time. The nudge Is simply a part of women's sign language which means something that cannot be put Into words, but which every other woman understands."—New York Press. The vote Stood: Hearst, 80; Sulzer, 30. Thirteen delegates were absent, including three delegates from the Twentyninth district, led by Thomas E. ltush, who refused to attend. There are 105 Tamuianjr delegates, and thus Murphy had exactly a majority. Had it not been for the unseating of the twelve delegates of the Seventeenth, Nineteenth and Thirtieth districts Murphy would not have had a majority unless! he had Iweti able to Induce the BulIU vans ttf change from Sulzer to Ilenrs^. It was neaHy 7 o'clock when the catieus, was Anally convened. Three tinra it had been postponed. \ Mr. Cockran asserted that the platform of the Independence league did not in the slightest particular conflict with the platform Just adopted by the convention. Platform Upholds Protection. The platform praises the present national and state administration. It claims credit for the recent Insurance legislation and for the lowering of the price of gas lu New York city. Belief la the wisdom of the protective tariff Is renfflrmed, and legislation for the restoration of an American merchant marine is favored. Tho punishment of mob Instigators Is demanded. Sympathy Is extended to the suffering and outraged Jews of Russia and Poland. The history or the Itcpubllcan party Is reviewed, and the platform closes with an ftppeal for the candidates. Mr. Bradley was a member of Rich Valley lodge. I. «. O. F., of Pittsburg. Praises the Platform, (Wilkesbarre and Scranton papers please copy.) The fllatory of Tacltaa. He believed the platform made was one on which nil Democrats could stand. Again he regretted that another man more personally cougeninl could not have been placed at the head of tho ticket, but there could be no possible justifiable excuse for opposlug the nomination. The entire history of Tacitus, as we have the work, was regained from a single copy found In the fifteenth century in a monastery of Westphalia. That we should owe the works of this author to one copy Is a remarkuble circumstance, for the Emperor Tacitus, who claimed to bo a descendant of the historian, had copies of the history placed in every library of the empire nnd each year had ten copies transcribed for presentation to scholars. All, it seems, perished, save the Westpliaiian copy. QUIETLY MARRIED IN M. P. PARSONAGE Charles W. YVlntle tlie Groom and Miss 1,1'ona B.

Gone Housekeeping. Crank In the sense of an eccentric person is a new word. The very first written instance of crank In the modern sense that could be fouud for Dr. Murray's dictionary was In the reports of the trial of Gulteau, President Garfield's murderer. Gulteuu's reference to somebody as a crank gave the word a vogue that ban gone on spreading. But the adjective cranky was known in 1787 as meaning sickly (the German "krank"), and to Dickene In tile senses of cross and crochety. In all Its meanings It springs from the toot Idea of crookedness, as does crank In Its sixteenth century sense of a deceitful trick, as in "qutpa and cranks " The Word "Cranlt." Charles W. Wintle. of Butler street, and Miss Leona B. Fritz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Fritz, of Park street, were quietly married last evening at 7:30 in the parlor of the M. P. church parsonage by the pastor, Bev. B. C. Burch. A small party of their close relatives witnessed tho ceremony. The bride wore a pretty gown of white Persian lawn, trimmed with Valenciennes lace inserting. After the ceremony those present congratulated the couple In the parsonage and they were later driven to a neatly furnished home on Fourth street, Wyoming, where they have taken up housekeeping. The couple are both popularly known here, having been lifelong residents. Mr. Wintle Is a son of the late Joseph Wintle, and Is employed as a pump runner at the Exeter colliery. He Is a member of the Jr. O. U. A. M. band. Millinery Opening Friday and Saturday, at Beriewis. Thomas 15. Rush, who was for ,Terorae, announced before the caucus that he wotild not attend. "This man Hearst Is a party wrecker, and I will not be a party to any plan to nomlnato Jklm," be said. Former Governor Odell camc In for a real ovation both when he entered the ball and when he was alluded to In any speech. Senator Edgar T. Brackett of Saratoga, whose candidacy for governor was one of the picturesque features of the convention, though never taken very seriously, also had a most cordial reception. ALDERMANIC CASE, j M.

Itepresentatlve William Sulzer was present to plead his own cause, but he was cut off summarily by the previous question ott a motion to adopt the unit rule In casting the votes of the deloralion In the convention. Sulaer angrily started out of the caucus, saying that he had been choked off. Alderman Smith, Fourth ward magistrate, had a spicy case before him this morning. He displayed his skill as a dispenser of justice by having it peacefully settled and seeing harmonious domestic rfelatlons restored. Mrs. M. J. Tillman had her husband, of 1120 Exeter street. Exeter borough, arrested, charging htm with non-support, disorderly conduct and assault and battery. She testified that he had put her out of their house by using force and refused to let her return. When Tillman testified he made serious chargcs against the woman, accusing her of having had improper relations with another man. The case seemed likely to assume a serious turn, when the alderman succeeded in smoothing it out. Mrs. Tillman promised to take the pledge and lead a temperate life in the future, and Mr. Tillman agreed to take her back to the house. The charges against Tillman were then dropped. Mr. Tillman was represented by Attorney A. T. Walsh, and the attorney for Mrs. Tillman was W. H. Gillespie. "Yes, but it's the other half that causes the most trouble." "What's that?"

Robert Smalleomb, of Oregon, this city, who has boon employed for the past month as a brakeman on the Lehigh Valley, was severely hurt last evening while working at Falrvlew.

KILLING BROTHER And Save New York, Sept, 27.—Confronted at the morgue with the grewsomo remains of the victim of Sunday's mysterious murder, Aram Tasham, accused of being responsible for the crime, broke down arid confessed to the police that the body was that of his brother, MUrkar, and that he was the murderer. Julius Harburger moved a second amendment that Mr. Murphy be Instructed to cast the full vote for Sulxer. The vote was taken on Harburger's amendment first. On the original motion that Murphy be authorized to cast the full vote for Hearst under the unit rule the vote was C13 to 2C. The convention had an opportunity to iiear and see Ilepresentutlve Herbert Parsons, whose meteoric career lu poll tics has suddenly made him one of the most interesting figures of his party. Parsons himself made the speech proposing the renomination of Lieutenant Governor Bruce, the man he had kept from the head of the ticket and whom he praised highly. 15 to 25i Boston Shoe Store 79 Maia st-Mteton- New York, Sept. 27.—Thcrusands of dollars are being wagered today on the New York gubernatorial campaign and the betting today in Wall street is 2 to 1 on Hughes.
