They arrived on a Lehigh Valley freight train. The white boy gave his name as John Dunkle, 311#Holliday street, and the colored lad called himself Robert Mercer, 514 Grant street. Word has been sent to the Jersey City police of the arrest of the boys and they are being held pending a reply. The boys told an unusual tale of how thoy reached this vicinity. They said they were in the yards at Jersey City, and, seeing a train ready to pull out, Jump, ed into a freight car to have a ride to Newark. They said that before they could leave the car it was locked and proceeded on its way. It was opened at White Haven, they said and they got out, but decided later to travel a little, thinking, perhaps, they might go on to Buffalo. They jumped off for the second time at Cork Lane, only to fall into the hands of the officers. Papers Today. Dreadful State of Affairs in Will Call Special Session for the Purpose.

Y., Sept. 20.—The Republican state convention, in session h«re, is still occupied with the all absorbing question of the nomination for governor. Announcement of the determination of the government to abdicate, with a view of bringing about American intervention, has caused an outbreak of disorders, and it Is believed that the worst is still to come.

Hearst ol X«w York, who already Is the nominee nf the Independence league, which he was Instrumental In organizing, seems to be In the lead for the nomination. It Is asserted that the convention will name Lewis Stuyvesuut Chcnler of Dutchess for lieutenant governor anCl John S. Whalen of Monroe for secretary of state. Both Mr. Clianler and Mr. Whalen are ou the Independence league ticket. Half an Iloiir, mill Presented Well Known Young Man a Sealed Verdict Tills Victim of Mina. Shortly after arriving at his home, Felter became violent and made an attack with his fists on his wife, at the same time making threats that he would kill her. He had a revolver and a razor in the house and while he did not securp possession of them the members of the family were fearful that he might do serious harm. Mrs. Green, a neighbor, has been staying with Mrs. Felter, she having been ill, and when Felter again started to beat his wife last night, she interfered to prevent him, at the same time calling on the men of the neighborhood for help. The men guarded Felter until Chief Cosgrove came from Duryea and took him in charge. For the moment the distressing political situation is almost forgotten In the fresh troubles which have arisen from the acts of marauding bands which are operating in unprotected parts throughout the country. Morning. Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock the jury in the case of Martin Barrett, of Pittston township, charged with forgery in connection with a fraudulent Marcy township judgment and transcript, went out of court. Within half an hour, the jury had agreed on a verdict. Court had adjourned, and it was necessary to enclose the verdict in a sealed envelope and place it in charge of the foreman, which was done. This morning, at 9:30 o'clock, ,?when court reconvened, the jury jwesented its verdict, which was to the effect that tho defendant was guilty as indicted. Delayed Blast Canned Ills Dentil In the Rldgcwood Colliery of tlie The Moderates will not, It Is suld, attend the session of congress, for In their hurriedly called national Moderate assembly they decided unanimously simply to quit forthwith. They will not even attend tlie approaching session or have anything more to do with the government of Cuba, alleging that they have been unjustly treated by President Itoosevelt's commissioners. This determination is taken by Messrs. Taft and Bacon, however, as another indication that the Moderate leaders, since they can no longer control the government themselves, are determined at whatever cost tfcat the Liberals shall not now or hereafter obtain control. , ' During the last fortnight the government has made no pretence of maintaining authority in the provinces. This has given great opportunity for anarchy to have full sway. With the announcement that the government was tottering to its end anarchy has broken out openly In many sec- Traders' Coal Co. tills Morn- ing—Survived by Widow and Young Children, It Is said that this Is as far as the most radical of the llenrst delegi'os to the convention will go in tiiiaig over the candldatos of the Inde '.-nd- Michael A. Price, of 136 Carroll St., brother of Officer James Price, of the city police force,, and a well known young man, was killed this morning while at work as a miner in Ridgewood colliery of the Traders' Coal Co., which is located near Laflin. Mr. Price's death it is believed was due to a delayed blast. But little Is known of the circumstances of the accident, as he was (he only one in the vicinity when the explosion took place. His body was found a short time later in his chamber. He was a miner of much experience and had been employed for some time at the Ridgewood.tions. The insurgent armies are made up in great measure of soldiers of fortune and loafers, who welcomed the opportunity to enlist in the anti-government cause, because It insured thpm a living without the necessity of work. Prospects of intervention by the United States are not encouraging to such men, as they see In it a restoration of order and the necessity of resuming work for a living. Desertions from the insurgent armies of iulventurers and easy livers have been frequent and numerous depredations have been committed by them. \  The closing arguments in the case yesterday afternoon were especially interesting. Attorney James L. Lenahan, who, assisted by Attorneys Mc- Gulgan and Llewellyn, conducted the defense, made the closing plea in behalf of Barrett. The defense had elected to present no testimony for their side of the case, and the closing speech of Attorney Lenahan was composed principally of criticisms of the prosecution's witnesses. BIG WORK IS STARTED. The Cuban republic stands therefore on the' verge of a second period of American Intervention. The Moderate party, which six weeks ago was iu absolute control of every office In the island, national, provincial and municipal, seems determined to abdicate everything and compel the United States to intervene. Fifty Men Start to Bore Drainage Tunnel. The news of the death of Mr. Price, which reached the city about 11 ot'cloclc, caused many expressions of regret to be expressed for his family, which has been sorely afflicted. A few years ago a brother of Mr. Price was killed in the mines and less than a year ago another brothes, Thosmas Price, a flrebosa, died after a short illness. . * CHAItLES E. IIUOIIES. The indications are that the defense is planning to make application for a now trial, on the ground that they were hampered in preparing their ease by an officer of the court. It seems that during the presentation of testimony by the prosecution, the point was brought out that the alleged fraudulent judfclKcn? was supposed to have been given by Squire Motiska in April. 1894, and it was further shown that Barrett had testified before the commissioner who marshaled the Indebtedness of the township that he had copied tho transcript of the judgment, as clerk, about the same day that the judgment was awarded. The prosecution then went on to prove, by the introduction of a copy of the justices' commission docket from tho county recorder's office, that Squire Motiska had not been commissioned as a justice of the peace until May, 1894, a month after the time that Barrett testified he had copied a transcript for the justice. When the copy of the justice's docket was offered in evidence, the attorneys for the defense announced that they had made a search for the book in question in the recorder's office last week, for the purpose of preparing, their ca.se, and that the book was not to be found. L. P. Holcomb, clerk In tho recorder's office, was brought into court to testify In regard to tho docket. He admitted that when the attorneys for the defense had asked for the book it could not be found In the office, though he had hunted high and low for it. An attorney for the prosecution volunteered tho information that he had seen the docket in the recorder's office on the previous day and offered to point it out, which he did. This closed the incident, but it is surmised that the attorneys for the defense may use it for the purpose of basing an application for a new trial. cacy of Charles E. Hughes. It is believed that a mujorlty of the delegates would quickly support former Governor Frank 8. Black If he could lie Induced to allow his name to tie used. ITALIANS CONVICTED.

Contract Price Is $70,- 000 — V&Tl Extend The young man whose death occurred today was very well known throughout the city. He took much interest in Democratic municipal politics and three years ago sought the nomination as city assessor but was induced to withdraw. He was a man who was much thought of by his friends. He leaves a widow and four small childen, the oldest about nine years old. They are John, William, Bessie and Michael. Michael, the youngest son, has been very seriously ill for more than a week past.

The meeting was held In the rooms of former State Superintendent of Insurance Hendricks. There were present Hendricks of Onondapi, Woodruff of Kings, Aldridge of Monroe, Barnes of Albany, Wdrd of Westchester, O'Brien of Clinton, Mott of Oswego, Frnnchot of Cattaraugus and Farsons of New York. UiMler City, Work on the bisgeBt contract of its kind ever let in this vicinity was started yesterday afternoon, when the first shovelful of earth was dug for the boring of the mile-long tunnel, recently contracted for by the Pennsylvania and Hillside Coal companies. This tunnel will take all the water from several collieries of these companies, cutting down the pumping expenses and caring for what has been a difficult problem to handle in the past. The contract price for the new tunnel is $70,000, and the contractors have agreed to have it completed In two years. IV-Tora, One of the Men, Hecoiniiioml- eCl to the Merry of the Court— WILLIAM B.

PALMER'S NAME STILL AT HEAD The platform, agreed upon by a subcommittee of six appointed from the full committee, will contain, it is stated, a plank declaring for municipal ownership under certain conditions, a sort of local option proposition. This Is regarded as u Hearst victory. The platform, it Is also asserted, will Indorse Mr. Bryan In a general way. lary. DeTora was charged with felonious wounding and Plel with aggravated assault and battery. The Jury recommended DeTora to the mercy of the court. The verdict was arrived at after court adjourned yesterday and was scaled. Efforts of Cobleigh Faction to Ovcr- Taft Calls For Re-enforoements. Secretary Taft hos cabled the navy' department asking that re-enforce ments In men and ships be sent at once to Cuba.. There was much talk about Frank S. Black, and several attempts were made to arrange 11 programme to secure his nomination. It was asserted that most of the men who are now pushing Bruce forward were Black men a few years ago, are still very friendly to the former governor and would be very glad to see him again In tha executive otilce. At the same time it Was found that when the talk for Black was traced to Its original source the source was close to Odell. The men who from time to time gave out rumors about Black being a possibility, coupling It with the statement that a demand from the party must be obeyed by him, were Stato Tax Commissioner Ilalpln and Abraham Oruber of New York, M. J. Dady of Brooklyn and others friendly to Odell. while Odell himself wos quoted as declaring that Black was the man who ought to be nominated. Naturally this source of the Black talk mnde it unpalatable alike to the Farsons men and the IIfg gins people. But Black from the first discouraged the use of his name and made his declination so positive that few of the upstate leaders believe that he Is really a possibility. throw tlio Nomination In County Committee Unsuccessful Congressman Palmer's name still stands at the head of the Republican county ticket as the candidate for Congress. As stated in the Gazette yesterday, a meeting of the reorganized county committee, with Robert Broadhead, of Kingston, as chairman, was called to be held yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, but a quorum failed to assemble. In fact, only the chairman and secretary were present at the meeting place. Every possible effort was made by the Cobleigh faction to secure the presence of a quorum, for the purpose of attempting to overthrow the nomination of Congressman Palmer and the substitution of the name of Cobleigh, but without success. The majority of the committeemen could not see that there was any good reason for a meeting of the committee, inasmuch as they had met on Saturday and named a Congressional candidate. Yesterday having been the last day to file party nomination papers, it is impossible now for Cobleigh to file a certificate of nomination as the party candidate, though it Is possible for him to file individual nomination papers until 18 days before the election and he has declared that he intends to do so. Orders were at once Issued for the Brooklyn, Texas, Norfolk and Pralrk to prepare to go to Havana at onc« with 0,000 marines. Strong cases had been worked up against DeTora and Plel, who wero both tried at the same time before Judge Ferris. The three troopers, who were ambushed by the Italians, ,Prlvates Butler, Adelson and Garland all testified ag;ainst the men, recognizing them as the ones who had taken part in the riot and attack. De- Tora was charged with shooting one of the troopers but he stoutly denied this charge. Plel tried to prove an alibi but under sharp cross examination It fell flat. The chairman of the committee 011 resolutions is Congressman W. Bourkc Cockran of New York. Secretary Taft and Assistant Secre tary of State Bacon have stated in an Interview thut they are thoroughly dis gusted with the petty methods of the government leaders in Havana. The American conwnlssloners admitted tha* they had practically abandoned theli efforts to bring peace from the turmoil unless by the use of force. Mr. Tut* said: About 50 men started to work yesterday and this will constitute the maximum force, owing to the small amount of working space that will be afforded after rock is struck. The digging under Main street Is expected to be largely In dirt, as there Is much filled ground In that section through which the tunnel will pass, but as soon as the side hill is struck rock will be met with. With the exception of this and about 1,300 feet under the top of William street, where a bed of sand will likely be struck, all the digging will be through solid rock. Nixon For Permane/it Chairman. The committee on permanent organization, of which Walter C. Burton of Kings is chairman, decided to recommend to the convention the continuance of the temporary officers and permanent officials. This Includes the retention of Lewis Nixon us permanent chairman. Mr. Nixon's selection as temporary chairman was taken as the tijst indication of the Hearst strength. District Attorney B. R. Jones' closing speech for the prosecution was an exceptionally strong one. He declared that the transcript of the judgment on which the suit was based was a forgery, pure and simple, and said that only God and Martin Barrett knew Frank Hefner, to whom judgment was supposed to have been rendered. Nobody has ever been able to find any trace of such a man, he said. Further, he pointed out, the witness whose name Is signed to the paper, one Patrick Boyle, Is detfd; the justice, Squire Motiska, who is alleged to have issued the judgment, is dead; and the constable, William Lyons, to whom, it is alleged, the transcript was given, is dead. Palma's Men In the Way Assistant District Attorney Evan C. Jones made a brilliant and able closing address in which ho held that the evidence was overwhelmingly against the defendants and that they ought to be punished for creating a riot on the Sabbath day and also for assaulting the State constabulary; that if they are allowed to go free It would not be safe for the average American to walk about the streets for fear of being, killed or maimed by the foreign element, which would take an acquittal in this case as a license to do as It pleased as It need not fear the courts or the State constabulary."The government officials, instead ot co-operating with us to save the republic, have resorted to every kind ol obstruction with the object of continuing their control of the administration President Palma and his advisers have rejected terms of peace which were honorable to them, though in the form of a compromise with their opponents. The committee on contested seats furnished the liveliest fight • of the njeeting, for it was regarded that here depended much us to the finul outcome of the convention. Senator Thomas F. Grady of New York, a member of the Tammany delegation, was nominated for chairman and was opposed by John B. Stanchfield of Eluilra. The vote was 20 to 20 In favor of Senator Grady.Two compressed air machines are to be put Into service for the drilling:. One is jto be built on the river bank at the mouth of the tunnel and will furnish the power for nearly half the work. The other machine will be erected near the pumping station, on Broad street, and a line will be run down the shaft nearby and then 600 feet through the 14-foot vein to a point on William street, where a hole will be bored, meeting the tunnel. Power for work from the vicinity of the school house to the upper end of the tunnel will be furnished by the machine on Broad street. "We are still striving to arrange a settlement, nnd we trust the American people will give us credit for doing ev erytiling possible to accomplish a set tlement without resorting to force. I cannot say that we are hopeful, for I have never known n more dlsgustlnfi situation. Investigation convinces us that the elections were thoroughly rot ten. We do not want to intervene, but the conditions afield may necessitate |t Angry denunciations and later personal violence marked the organisation of the committee on contested seats. The row was precipitated by William F. Sheehan's invasion of the committee room when, as was charged, he had no right there, not being an elected delegate to the convention. Senator Mc- Curren rallied to Sheehan's support, and the forme* lieutenant governor atid Erie cotmty boss stayed in the room. Incidentally a charge of attempted bribery was made against McOarren and by hliu angrily denied. Hearst's Candidacy Mentioned. As soon as the Barrett cajie had been disposed of a case exactly similar, in which the county detective is the prosecutor and Squire Higgins, of Plttston township, and ex-Supervisor Patrick McGroarty, of Plains township, are the defendants, was called for trial. x Fraudulent judgments against Plains township are the basis of the case. It was regarded as most remarkable that the names of seven of the jurors In the Barrett case, which had been just completed, were drawn from the box to be examined for service in the new case of a similar character. However, only two of the Barrett case Jurors were accepted for service on the jury to try Ihc Higgins-McGroarty case. The developments in connection with the Democratic stato convention at Buffalo, while as yet not Influencing the action of the convention leuders here, was used by the friends of Hughos to forward his candidacy. It was insisted by them that the possible If not probable nomination of Mr. Hearst by the Democrats made It necessary to nominate an especially strong man, such as they declared Mr. Hughes to be. Judge Ferris made a long chargo that completely covered the large amount of evidence. The jury retired shortly after 3 p. m. when court adjourned for the day. Prominent workers In the party have decided to put their shoulder to the wheel In an effort to bring order out of chaos. There is plenty of time for an effective and systematic campaign and the Democrats will And before another week that they are up against a more determined opposition thun they have expected.  The contractor anticipates that there will be considerable trouble lu getting through the sand bed, wherf! a concrete culvert will be necessary. The direction of the tunnel and the object In having it built have been fully given. It w|ll take most of the drainage from Butler colliery, No. 10 and a part of No. 4.
