State Central Co;nmittm ed Representative J, F. Craney—Downes Won Over | Dr. James J. Donohue Defeat- Connelly For Election as Delegate. The contests that were known to be on for places on the delegation to the democratic state comvention' resulted in filing Town hall to the standing point on Tuesday night at the demo- cratic caucus. All the seats were filled and there was a rim of men standing around the rear of the hall and near | the doors when Street Commissioner H. C. Lillibridge called the meeting to order shortly after 8 o’'clock. Two Contests. ‘When the time for nominations ar- rived;, it developed that the contests were between state central committee- man Dr. J, J. Donohue and Represen- tative John F. Craney for first place on the delegation, and John J. Con- DR. JAMES J. DONOHUE, nelly, put. forward as the representa- tive of the workingmen in the party, and Registrar Cornelius J. Downes. The rank and file of the party gave Dr. Donohue an overwhelming major- ity over his opponent, which was taken to indicate their confidence in him as: the local leader of thé party, and ‘Registrar Downes was successful over his opponent. The following elected: Ceptral district, Dr. J. J. Donohue, ‘Willlam H. Callaban-and Matthew M. Keough; Second, Cornelius J. Downes; Third, Thomas J. Kelly; Fourth, John J, Connell; Fifth, Jeremiah Donovan; Sixth, Elmer Kingsley. Address by Chairman. When the meeting was called to or- der, the first business was the elec- tlon of & chairman; Bdward T. Burke being nominated for this place by M. J, Coscoran and elected by acclama- tion. In taking the chalr, Mr. Burke said that it was certainly an inspir- ing sight to see this great gathering of democrats and it was an indication of the .spirit that prevailed in the par- t¥. The caucus should be an harmon- lous one and there should be but one object ~in view, the success of the grand old demrocratic party. He re- ferred to previous democratic victor- ies, especially in the campaign’ of 1892, when in company with a well known and nonored member of the party he had acdressed party gatherings. With- out liaving mentioned the name of the iate Dr. P. H. Harriman, the men present understood that it was to him the chairman referred. It had been ®maid then, said Chairman Burke, by his colleague, that we were in a cam- paign of education, and he felt that these words apply equally now, It Bhould not require any great ef- fort on our part to win, for when you see an ex-president attacking his own political party, it is focd for thought and ought to be a lesson for repub- licans who have been fooled so often. ‘Will the workingmen never wake up 1o the fact that pledges given by the republican party have been nothing but bosh and never kept? Chairman ,Burke referred to the cnarges that Parker made of using campaign funds contributed by great corporations, a charge that was substantiated in the New .York insurance investigation. The coming battle will prove to be one of the greatest political battles ever seen, for vital Interests are at etake, ard sometimes the workingman may fear that the very foundations of was the delegation ——— We advertise exactly as ifis —_— MURPHY & McGARRY, 207 Main Street Get Ready For Easter Even if you're not going to appear in one of our smart Suits or Spring Overcoats on | Easter Sunday, you’ll certain- ly want to trim up with a new Tie, pair of Gloves, stylish Silk Hose, or Hat !

Nom{nations of delegates to the state convention, were. called- for .and John J. Connelly .taok the floor.. Nomiinat- ing Representative John F. Craney, he made a4 ghort but stirring speech in which he'declarec that the party could do no less. than send. Mr..Craney as the delegate as they had aiready sent bim to the legislature, | John F. Coughiin nominated Dr. J. J. Donohue, who, he said, was khown not orly- to-his- own city but through- out the .state and for several years past had been a member of the state central ¢ommittee, a successful worker for the’ party in the state and in his own tawn and .city., He inquired of his hearers where the previous.speai- er found his precedent for sending' a delegate to Bridgeport becausé he was | & .representativé. Mr. Cougilin: said | that his nominee possessed. all -the | qualifications desired in a. declegate, rand he took pleasure in nominating | So worthy a represerdative, The mom- ! Inatien elicited \a resounding- velume ; ¢f cheers, ! Michael Mooré of the West Side; said to be well known as a republican vot- and moved “to make the nomination unanimous. - Hiy sally brought out a shout of Jaughter as he took his seat. M. J. Coscoran moved that tle vote be taken By passing from right .to left of the chair, but before the - voting started Felix Callahan obtained the floor and asked that the gathering s_lxnd for a moment as 4 silent expres- sion for the loss that the party and | every poor man in the city of Norwich had sustained in the death of Dr. P. H. Harriman; This tribute to the departed leader was given, and the voting then pro- ceeded. Dr. Donchue Chosen. When the clerks made their report, Chairman Burke announced the result as follows: ‘Wihole number of votes cast, 548: necessary for a choice, 27 Dr. J. 1. Donohue,. 428; ;John F. Craney, 120. Dr. Donohue was declared the first delegate from the Central district.

Callahan, on nominaticn of J. J. Shugrue, and Matthew . A, Keough, on nomination of Dr. J. J. Donohue, were elected respectively second and. third delegates by accla- mation. Third District Contest. For the nomination of the fourth delegate, M. J. Kelley took the floor, saying that he agreed with the state-| ment of a previous speaker, that we needed men of education, but he provl posed to nominate a staunch democrat and an Al friend of the laboring man; one who would work both for the par-| ty and the interests of the laboring| men. Mr. Kelley declared it was poor| democracy to-call a convention of the workingmen and then insult them about their education. (Applause.) He would nominate a man of undoubted honesty, ability and integmity—John J. Connelly. The nomination was applauded, but M. J. Curran nominated Cornelius J. Downes in opposition to Mr. Connelly. The vote was taken Dby. passing in front of the chair. The vote was announced as follows | by Chairman Burke: Whole number of votes cast, 443; necessary for a choice, 222; Cornelius J. Downes, 278; John J. Connell, 165. Mr. Downes was declar- ed the nominee, amid cheers. Mr. Connelly at once moved to make the vote unanimous. Others Chosen Unanimously. Thomas J.

Allen, | however, was out of range and got |away. Detectives Payne and Lucas return- ed to town tonight after a hard ride through knee deep mud and reported Allen’s escape. The two bloodhounds from the state farm “Fanny” and “Topsy” are the| main hope of the. man hunters now.| The ‘heavy rains have washed away| all trails and the dogs make little headway. Last night Payne and Lucas carried the dogs twenty miles on their saddles to put them on a new scent. Some of the posses are still in the mountains guarding the roads‘but the heavy rains drove the main parties in- to the settlements tonight for food and shelter. They will" resume .the hunt tomorrow.

Philadelphia, April 2.—Two women were fatally injured, scores of houses were unroofed and more than 25 were completely demolished by a windstorm of cyclonic velocity which passed over that portion of Camden known as Coopers Point and swept down the Delaware river to the center of the city, doing thousands of dollars’ worth of property damage. Tonight Camden is in utter darkness ~—all the electric lights having been turned off and the streets in the north- ern section of the city are piled high with debris and telegraph poles. Mrs. Annie (Meary of Camden and Miss Annie Rehrend of Philladelphia, who were riding in a street car in Cam- Gen, were caught beneath a building, which was demolished by the storm, and both were so badly crushed that the physicians at the hospital say that neither can recover. Althcugh the vortex of the storm did not reach this city, considerable damage was done here, the wind reaching a velocity of more than 40 miles an hour. An unoccupied six- story building at 622 Chestnut street was unroofed and an immence sheet of tin was blown across that thorough- fare. Thunder and lightning was another accompaniment of the storm and shared in the general work of destruc- tion. A panic was caused among the operators in the main office of the Western Union Telegraph company, when a bolt struck the 17th floor of the huilding where they are employed. Glass in the windows was broken by ‘the shock and hurled by the wind into the faces of the telegraphers. A mad rush for the doors ensued, but fortu- nately no one was seriously injured. No section of the city escaped dam- age, the wind blowing from southeast io northwest, visiting West Philadel- phia and the suburbs of Germantown and Chestnut Hill. Three Killed While Sleighing. Three Rivers, Que., April 2—A Montreal bound train on the Canadian Pacific railroad, crashed into a sleigh at Rochelaus crossing today, instantly killing all three occupants, two men, father and son, named Doucet, and the wife of the latter, of Mount Car- mel.

Prescription That Soon Knocks Rheumatism The only logical treatment for rheu- matism is through the blood. The poi- sons that settle in muscles, joints and back, causing severe pain, must be dis- solved and expelled from the system or there can be no relief. This pruorlg- tion from a noted doctor is said to be working wonders all over the country. Hundreds of the worst cases were cured by it here last winter. “From your droggist get one ounce of Toris com- pound (in original sealed package) and yone ounce of syrup of Sarsaparilla com- pound.

Philadelphia, April 2 — Sentiment among the workers in the anthracite region seems to be crystallizing in favor of prolonging the layoff until the operators grant recognition to the union. At a meeting held today in Nanticoke, a thousand miners, mostly Poles, declared they would not ac- cept a ten per cent. increase unless it was accompanied by union recogni- tion. When one of the speakers an- nounced that President Baer had said that the miners were not strong enough to strike, a score of workers Jumped to their feet, exclaiming “Well, we'll show him.” Both operators and miners, however, seem content to await the result of the conference to be held in this city April 10, and none of the large companies made any attempt to work their breakers today.

Spring is nature’s season for re- newing the life of things, and for sweeping away the impurities that have accumulated in the winter, This custom of taking a remedy for the blood during spring months is based on hard common sense. Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron prep- aration without oll, stands far above all other spring medicines in value because it contains the elements needed to enrich and purify the blood. J. A. Thiel of Bronx Borough, N. Y., says, “Feeling the need of a good spring medicine to purify my blood and build up my strength I started us- ing Vinol in April. It has done me so much good in every way that-I be- lieve it is in all respects just as val- uable a remedy as you claim. We guarantee that Vinol will “build up and strengthen all weakened, run- down persons. Try Vinol — we. will give back vour money if it does not satisfy you. Broadway Pharmacy, G. G.
