VACANT POLITICAL PLACES,
And the 1mpOssibility of Filling Them From
the Wards Swept Away.

And the lmpOssibility of Filling Them From
the Wards Swept Away.
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowN, June 14.-A conversation
with Irwin Howell, the Burgess of Johns
town, this morning, was productive of an
idea Of the peculiarly interesting state this
town is in politically. There were q Coun-
cilmen, of whom 8 lost their lives in the
food: DR.. j. c. Beam, of the Second ward;
Jacob Swank, Fourth ward, and W. W.
Pike, Fifth ward.
According to a law governing the cleo
tion of Councilmen," said the Burgess.
there should be announced a reelection Of
Councilmen for these offices within 80 days
after such vacancy by death" ''This law,
of course" continued Mr.. Howell, "cannot
be enforced here now, under the existing
circumstances, because everything is upside
down.
"But, even If 1 should issue an order for
reelection, do not know that it would do
any good, for this reason: Take for instance
the Second ward, where DR.. Beam was lost.
could not have reelection there, for the
simple reason that the entire ward, with the
exception of four houses, has been COM
pletely washed away. On that account a
reelection there is out of the question. The
same state of affairs exists in the First
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-06-15

ward, where there are only few houses left
standing.
"But there is another thing: The law
SAYS that Councilman shall be resident of
the ward he represents in Council. The
most of our Councilmen, however, had to
find homes outside of the wards they rep
resent, and, according to law, they lose their
position for that reason.
''It is most likely that reorganization of
the entire municipal government will have
to be effected as soon as the people are in
proper shape again, and the town has been
somewhat built up. Until then, there will
be no law here at all, except the law to
keep the peace." HEINRIcHs.

DIR. Mellow on the Stand.

CHARLESTON, S. c., June 27.-Dr. Mellow
the only living witness of the murder of Ed
itor Dawson, was on the stand yesterday in
his own behalf. His story was the same he
told just after the murder. Dawson accused
him of trying to lead astray the French maid
and then assaulted him with his cane, knock
ing him down. Mellow then shot, not no
dcing whether Dawson was facing him or
not. Afterward, in his excitement, he tried
to hide the body. Part of McDow's testi.
mony was corroborated by negro hack
man, Who was near the office at the time.
He heard Mellow say to Dawson: "You
tried to take my life. Now have taken
yours" The cross-examination did not de-
velop ANYTHING new
