In THE FIRE Observation-Disclosures now
pay considerable attention to their next
annual election. First comes the presl.
dent of the Firemens Charitable Associa-
ton, a seat filed by Mr.. l. N. Marks for
many years, and now, for the first IN almost
q generation, he meets with an opposing
candidate. Mr.. N. A. Llambias declares
himself as in the field for that position, and
he thinks that he can secure tolerably
satisfactory vote.
For chief engineer, Mr.. I. OiConnor is
fully prepared to assume the duties during
another term, but he has strong Oppo-
nent, Mr.. William Swan. Although Mr..
O'COnnOr has many warm friends IN the de-
partment he will need every one of them
on election day to keep him in possession OF
his office, as the friends OF Mr.. Swan Will
leave nothing unturned to promote him.
OF verify, he is . model fireman, and ne
dares do all that becomes man, besides
that he is greatly beloved by all who come
in contact with him, either in the way OF
business or pleasure. In any event, the
contest between these twins will be bound
20 be interesting. Success to the winner
For eecretary to the association, Mr.
Christopher Flanagan is again candidate.
and he stands pat on his record, as vel! he
NAV. for it is q clean one. He made bold
effort to secure the nomination tor court
clerkship, but the Democracy left him out,
probably because he was sound on the po-
iitical question. Mr.. Henri Andry is the
gentleman who will stand up against him
at the election, and the contest will be q
warm one between the friends.
As to the treasurership of the assocla-
ton, no prominent candidate has been an
nounced in opposition to Mr.. Chevailier.
He fills the bill quite as we'll AZ any body
can.
It may be remarked that Mr.. Marks has
been pre- sident of the association for TWEEN
ty-two years, to the entire satisfaction OF
the whole department.

and two wheels did, as the remainder OF
the buggy was left by the wayside., The
frightened steed, in it's mad career, gathered

with poor success. The horse was finally
captured, and no owner appearing, was
sent to the pound.
