A Citizens Meeting In Allegheny That Broke
Up Without Doing Anything-A Smooth
bore Ticket Drawn Up.
The Second ward, Allegheny, was flooded
with circulars yesterday, calling meeting
of citizens to be held in the Irwin avenue
schoolhouse, for the purpose of discussing
the primary to be held to-day.
There were a number of candidates sup
posed to be Objectionable to some citizens.
and the object of the meeting was to draw up
a "smoothbore" ticket in order to defeat
some of the persons who desire seats in the
City Councils. The following is the circu-
lar that was issued and sent to every citizen
IN the ward:

Gus. COMMITTEE OF CITIZENS
This call brought out over 500 citizens,
and when the meeting was called to order
by Colonel w. A Stone, Mr.. A. E. Wind
sor arose and announced that the meeting
had been called for the purpose of selecting
a ticket composed of representative men for
Council, but it was packed, and the object
could not be accomplished. Before he had
finished his speech, Delinquent Tax Col
lector Grier sprang to his feet, and stated
that city officials were citizens and entitled
to voice in the meeting.
This caused quite stir and the meeting
broke up without the usual formality of
motion. A crowd remained in the hall
while the persons who desired to draw up
"smoothbore'' ticket adjourned to private
house and held meeting.
1t was stated that three prominent Coun-
cilmen were interested in the movement,
but none of these gentlemen attended the
meeting and denied having called It,
The primary will be held this afternoon
between the hours of and o'clock, and
will be the liyeliest ever held in that part of
the city,

A Small Blaze.

The bitters factory in the rear of William
Zoeller's liquor store, on Carson, near
Eighteenth street. Southside, took fire last
night at $50. An alarm from box 143
quickly brought the fire department to the
scene, just in time to quell blaze which
might have become serious, and it took
two hours time to do this. An adjoining
stable belonging to George Hagineier was
damaged by the water, and milk cart was
entirely burnt. The losses were small.

DOC MAGEE ON TOP.
An Effort to Expel Him From the Americas
Club Fails This Time.

OiuD luIS
Mr.. J. B. Bauman brought charge
against Mr.. w. A. Magee before the
Americus Club last night. in which he
stated that the gentleman had boasted he
would blackball every candidate for MEM
bership in the future.
When, the charge came up, Mr.. Magee
denied Mr.. Bauman's statement, but he
said that he intended to blackball every
candidate because at the last election some
of the members had shown very narrow
principles by refusing membership to men
of good standing in the community and
pronounced good Republicans.
Somebody then raised the question of ex-
pelling Mr.. Magee, and President H. S.
Paul, who was in the chair, ruled that
three-fourths vote would be necessary to sus-
tain motion for expulsion. This being
done, the vote was counted, and there were
AZ for and 50 against expulsion.
