Central Committees Address.

To the Republican voters Of the
Eighth District:
The Importance which attaches to
the elections to he held in North Da-
kota during the ensuing year, makes
political activity on the part Of each
individual voter matter OF imperative
necessity. In connection with coming
statehood is linked the forming of par
ty lines and the demonstration of par
ty strength and party supremacy. The
election for delegates to the constitu.
tional convention will be recorded as a
showing of the relative strength of the
two great political parties in the vari-
Gus voting districts. 1t will likewise
be the opening battle in the political
war which will be waged in the severas
elections which occur this year. In
order to fully and firmly establish the
supremacy Of the Republican party in
North Dakota, and to ensure the cleo
tion of Republican candidates in the
future the full party strength should
be cast for the candidates of the party
in the present contest. Another mat
ter which is of great Importance is the
fact that the influence of our delegates
in the constitutional convention will
be measured in many respects in ac-
cordanee with the size of the vote cast.
Should the vote be a mixed one, and
the political complexion of this county
left in doubt, in the distribution of
nominees on the state ticket, which is
to be nominated in the fall and like
wise in the matter of appointments,
we will be unable to exert any infu-
ence OF receive any consideration.
The Republican party must go into
this battle not only to win but to roll
up the largest possible majority by
presenting Il united front to the enemy
and polling full vote. Before nom
mating convention meets, there al
ways exists variety of opinions as to
the most available candidates to be
placed in nomination, and excitement
very frequently runs high in the pull
for the various candidates. When,
however, judgment has been passed
Ny tll0 llOuuIilttClllS OI1VoHClOH, OllCu
every man who belongs to the party
and has It's interests at heart will turn
in and give the candidates his loyal
support. The judgment of a major
ity OF q convention of representative
men is the best counsel that can be had
as to the availability of candidates.
BY their Judgment the voters of a
party must be guided. 1t becomes,
then. the duty of every Republican
voter of the eighth district to turn out
on the l4th of May and cast his ballot
for w II. Rowe and A. D. Fleming ton
as delegates to the constitutional con-
vention, They stand unequivocally
pledged in open convention to labor
for the submission of prohibitory
clause in the constitution and to la
Dor for the best interests of the
eight district in every particular.
The central committee desires to
urge upon every Republican voter the
necessity of turning out on election
day and casting ballot for the Re-
publican nominees.

UNDER THE WHEELS.

Young Couple Torn From Happy AntIcipa.
don to Sad Reality-One Killed, the
Other Dying.
"Love laughs at locksmithS, but when a
locomotive bears down upon loving couple,
something has to give way. Probably two
lives, certainly one, was lost at Brushton
station yesterday about $50 o'clock. Ben
jamin ]. Lovett, aged 10, and Miss Mary G.
Campbell, aged about 20, were engaged to
be married. and one of them lies to-day in
the Morgue, while the other has but little
chance of life.
The young couple were walking along
the west-bound track, and it is supposed
that they were tired out and sleepy and
failed to notice the approach OF the oyste
express on its way to the city one hour late.
The train was almost upon them before they
made any effort to leave the track, and
when they did they were too late.
The engine struck them both, throwing
them a distance of 20 feet The train
stopped and the couple were picked up un-
conscious and brought in to the West Penn
Hospital.
Miss Campbell showed no internal in
iuries, but was hurt internally. and died at
the hospital at o'clock yesterday after
noon.
Lovett sustained compound fracture Of
the left leg and internal injuries, from
which the hospital physicians did not ex-
pect him to live until daylight this morn
ing.
Lovett is the son of James Lovett, a
painter, who is in business in Williamsburg.
Miss Campbell is the daughter of a we'll
known citizen of Williamsburg, and both
the young folks are highly respected.
The Coroner will investigate the case this
morning,

SATISFACTORY TEST.
AIIegheny'a New siIsby Engine Throws n

Its Good Qualities Proven.


AIIegheny'n New siIsby Engine Throws n
Stream Over Two Hundred Feet High
Its Good QualIties Proven.
The new Silsby engine Of the Allegheny
fire department was tested yesterday after
noon at the corner Of South Canal and Syca-
more streets. Chief Jones and Assistant
Chief Clark had complete supervision of
the test and stated that they were more than
satisfied with the result. -
: The test commenced at 2:30 o'clock, and q
crowd of over 1000 persons were present to
witness it. A pressure Of 240 pounds of
water and 120 pounds OF steam was placed
on the engine, and 25O feet of hose laid along
Canal street to the elevator of the Eber-
hardt & Ober Brewing Company, which
stands about 180 feet high. On the top of
the elevator is a flagstaff 30 feet in height
Tie water was turned on and stream from
a IL inch nozzle was thrown completely
over the hagpole. A 1H-inch nozzle was
then tried with similar result.
Then two streams similar to the first were
tried at once and reached the top of
the building. A ~ inch stream
was also tried successfully. AL Of
the streams were thrown perpendicularly
from the pavement at the base Of the ele-
vator. At each attempt the crowd gave
vent to their admiration by loud cheers.
A test of all the lines waS made then by
throwing the water in an almost parallel
line with the pavement. The greatest dis
tance thrown was 300 feet A pressure of
260 pounds of water was on to attain this.
Several other tests were made and proved
the good qualities of the engine.
Assistant Chief Clark stated that his
expectations had been surpassed; that the
greatest height thrown was 225 feet, which
was remarkable. considering the strong
wind which was blowing. The test oec1-
pied two hours time.

IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES.
The Usual Impressive Services Were Held
in Honor, of the Day.

The Usual Impressive Services Were Held
in Honor of the Day.
The regular Christmas services were held
in the Catholic churches throughout the
two cities. At st. Paul's Cathedral solemn
high mass was celebrated at $50 o'clock.
DR.. s. Wall was the celebrant Father
Murphy, President of the Holy Ghost Col
lege, was master of ceremonies, Father Con-
way was deacon and Father Casey sub
deacon.
Fully $500 persons were in attendance at
the mass. A great many of these were
Protestants, who came to witness the cere-
mony. Some of them have been in the
habit of attending the first Christmas mass
for years and yesterday they witnessed
something grand. Extra seats in the aisles
had to be provided for them.
Nearly all the scaffolding in the church
has been removed, leaving exposed the
newly-frescoed walls and pillars, with their
beautiful figures Of the saints. For the first
time the congregation realized the extent of
the work Father Wall had undertaken. The
church when finished will be undoubtedly
the finest in the country.
1t took nearly three hours to sing the
mass. Father Murphy preached the ser
mon. His text was on the Gospel Of the day
and was learned discourse.
Masses were said at the side altars every
half hour. At the o'clock mass, Father
Molyneaux preached TIE sermon. He re-
ferred to the beautiful work done in the
church. He said Father Murphy had re-
ferred to the same thing at the first mass
aud bad asked the people to contribute lib
orally to pay for the work. This they did
not do. Father Molyneaux said the people
praised the work done by the priests but
gave little money. He then asked them to
give a little money now and pocket their
praise for future use. The effect of his
words were seen in the heavily-laden con-
tribution baskets. In addition to the music
of the choir at the first mass, the Cathedral
Band was present and rendered sacred Sc
lections.
Six of the stained glass windows to be
placed in the church have already been
ordered, and will soon be put in position.
The rosettes, Vestibule and sanctuary
stained windows will be placed in position
next week. "A new carpet will also be put
down in the sanctuary, and linoleum will
cover the floors of the aisles for the present.
The pews will also be painted in imitation
of antique oak. The contract for this will
be let this week. The newest improvement
contemplated is the covering of the outside
of the massive structure with Portland ce-
ment, in imitation of stone.
At St. Peters Church, Allegheny, Rt.
Rev. Bishop Phelan celebrated the first
mass Father McAvoy preached the ser
mon. The music was especially fine. At
st. Philomene's and st. Patrick's the usual
services were observed, with appropriate
mnsic
