FIVE IN THE FIELD.
Window Glass Workers Nominate
Candidates for the Presidency.
CAKE LOOKED ON AS THE WINNER
Pittsburg Manufacturers Get Large Con.
tracts for Boilers.
THE HAPPENINGS IN LABOR CIRCLES

The Window Glass Workers Association
held an important meeting last night. Five
candidates were placed in nomination for
the Office of president, to succeed Granville
MOrenus, resigned. They were Secretary
George L. Cake, Treasurer AL. Hammett,
Patrick McClarey, Louis Haney and Joseph
Anderson. Ex-President James Campbell's
name was also suggested, but that gentle
man firmly and positively declined. The
nominations will be left open another week
to give the preceptories an opportunity to
send in nominations but it is not likely
that there will be any more candidates.
The contest promises to be lengthy one.
There, of course, cannot be an election on
the first ballot, and there will likely be
three or four ballots before a President is
elected.
HAD ENOUGH OF IT.
When ex-President James Campbell was
asked why he refused to be a candidate
again, he simply said that he had had
enough of the Office and did not care to be
bothered with it. His action, however, is
regarded by some as rather significant, and
possibly in favor of Secretary Cake.
"If Mr.. Campbell has declined the Office
in favor of Cake" said a member of the as
sociation, ''it is useless for any one else to
stay in the field. Treasurer Hammett is a
good man-thoroughlY competent to fill the
position credItably, and he has many friends
in Pittsburg, but Mr.. Cakes connection
with the Office gives him an advantage over
the other candidates by being constantly
kept before the members all over the coun-
try. This, coupled with the support of Mr..
Campbell, who undoubtedly has the largest
following of any man in the association,
will almost insure Mr.. Cakes election.
FLAT DENIAL.
Mr.. Campbell, however, denied that he
was supporting any of the candidates, and
Mr.. Cake said he was q candidate on his
own merits. Mr.. Clarey, who was defeated
in the former election by Mr.. Morenus, was
not at the meeting last night He is work.
ing at Monongahela City at present. It is
understood he will do some pretty tall
hustling, and he may prove a very danger
Gus opponent for the other candidates.
The tally sheets for the first ballot will be
sent out February 25, and 1t is expected that
the result will be known by March 8. In
the meantime ex-President james Campbell
will continue to act temporarily and look
after the affairs of the association. If Mr..
Cake succeeds in winning the contest
another election for secretary will be made
necessary,

WYMAN THE WINNER
Of the Republican MayOralty Nomi-
nation in Allegheny City.
CRUIKsHANK COULDN'T STOP HIM,
And Bader Failed to Carry Single Ward
in the Entire City.
wYMAEs PLURALITY Is OYER 1000

Ex-Msyor James G. Wyman was yester-
day nominated by the Republicans for a
second term as Mayor of Allegheny. This
is the only contest for city Office which has
this year occurred in any party primary
struggle. There were three candidates:
James G. Wyman, of the Second ward;
Common Councilman William A. Cruik-
shank, of the Second ward, and Common
Councilman William Bader, of the Fourth
ward.
The polls were open from to o'clock.
N Notwithstanding the rain, there was great
interest in the contest, and the polls were
surrounded by men carrying umbrellas.
The struggle in many of the wards was
more intense than often occurs between the
Republican and Democratic parties. Good
order, however, was the rule. The few
personal encounters which took place were
settled by the bystanders without police in
reference. Such encounters occurred in
the Second, Third and Twelfth wards, but
no call for the patrol wagon was made.
In nearly every instance the city officials
and city employees were found to be work.
ing for Wyman. Every member of the
police force was a Wyman man, and the
city detectives. with one exception, did valu-
able work tor the e1-Mayor. The exception
was William Eiche9laub. who labored hard
in the Second ward for Councilman Cruik-
shank.
MUCH AGAINST THEM.
The Cruikshank men complained that the
election boards, as a rule, were for Wyman,
and that was not denied by Wyman's
friends. They only said that it was an in
dication that the citizens who take an inter-
est in public affairs were for Mr.. Wyman
because of their knowledge of his admins
trative capabilities.
Mr.. Cruikshank's friends had another in
depreciation. In several election districts
the Cruikshank men demanded the ad-
mission, into the polling place, of an in
date. They were refused in every instance,
the point being made that the party rules
provided for only one inspector, duly chosen
at each spring election.
Little drunkenness was seen at the polls,
with few exceptions in the four central
wards. Returns were received at the
Mayors Office. The first floor of the City
Hall was overcrowded with young men who
were evidently prepared to shout for Mr..
Wyman. The place was sufocatingly warm
and the jam intense. The noise OF gabble,
between ward workers who elbowed one an
other for the front line, and the chance to
attract the most attention from the Gins"
was so great that Clerk Hunnshagen and
Detective Glenn could scarcely be heard
when they read the district returns. The
returns by wards are as follows:

CONSIDERED CHIMERICAL.
The River Freight Route to Omaha is Not
Credited Here.

From Kansas City comes story that the
Merchants River Line Navigating Com
pany, backed by the Inmsn Line, is about
to establish freight route by way of the
rivers from Pittsburg to Omaha. Their
plan, as reported, is to build go light
6raught steamboats, and 800 barges to carry
grain to the seaboard.
When Captain James A. Henderson, of
the Pittsburg and Cincinnati Packet Line,
was asked what he knew about the scheme,
he replied that he had heard OF it, but to his
mind the plan is too impracticable. "In the
first place." he said, "they wouldn't
have work enough for go steamers be-
tween Omaha and Pittsburg. The
business done does not begin to require that
many boats to handle it. Carrying grain to
the seabord is one thing, but the man who
wrote the story forgets that Pittsburg is an
inland town and it will cost as much to
transport the grain by rail to the ocean as it
would to send it direct from the West"
On the whole, Captain Henderson is not
inclined to believe that there is much in the
scheme. He is a good riverman, doing a
thriving business, and has already demon
strated to the railroads that the rivers are
dangerous competitors and need to be looked
after

PUTTING IN BOILERS.

Big Work BEING Done Here by the Hazel.
ton Tripod Boiler Company, Of ChIcago-
Reeu & Co. Furnish the Material
PInns of the Union Storage Company.
Captain Charles Hallett, of the Hazelton
Tripod Boiler Company, of Chicago, has
been in Pittsburg for the past two months
carrying into effect some heavy contracts.
The company which the Captain represents
is putting into use boiler that entirely
consumes the smoke, and in which
slack coal is burned. The Captain claims
that the time is fast coming when natural
gas will be considered a luxury for indi-
Viduals, and the manufacturers will have to
abandon it as a fuel for coal. With the
new boilers he is putting in, he claims he
can produce the same effect at one-third the
cost of the gas needed. The system adopted
is something Oh the style of the argand
burner, and almost perfect combustion is
produced.
The boilers are made in Pittsburg and
Chicago. Rees & Co. are filling all the con-
tracts in this territory, so that Pittsburg has
received the benefit of the business. At
present Captain Hallett is placing 300
horse power plant for the Linden Steel Com
pany in their works; 1,000-horse power boil
ers have been put in for the Pleasant Valley
Electric Road; and other contracts secured
are 150.horse power for John Robinson
Sons and 800-horse power for the Union
Storage Company to run their new arti-
fetal ice plant. The Pleasant Valley line
has two boilers, one of which is kept in re-
serve, and to look at either, one can scarcely
tell which is in operation. The new boilers
of the Allegheny Light Company are work.
ing well.
The company has secured contracts to sup
ply 1,000-h power for the New Castle
Steel Company, and other big jobs in Cleve-
land, as follows: Prospect Rolling Com
pany. 400-horse power; Cleveland Forge
Company, 300. horse power; Union Rolling
Company, $50, and Rockefeller & Britain
Iron COMPANY, 7OO-horse power. All these
boilers will be made in Pittsburg by Rees
& Co., and will give employment 10 large
number of men.
Captxin Hallett states that the boilers are
being used extensively in the West by the
electric light companies. In this connec-
ton it may be said that the Union Storage
Company is laying its plans to msnufact-
ure ice on an extensive scale. They are
figuring on producing the CONCEALED stuff
for go cents per ton. Work has already
been commenced Oh the well, and the COM
pany expects to hegin on the plant proper in
q very short time.

AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.
Two Years After the Son IL Drowned the
Father 10 Killed.

Father 10 Killed.
George P. Bender, formerly an officer on
the police force, but lately employed in
Jones & Laughlins' American Iron Works,
on the Southside, was instantly killed
about P. M. yesterday by the bursting of
an emery wheel. One of the pieces struck
him in the head, almost tearing it from his
shoulders.
Bender was "a years of age, married, and
will be remembered as having lost boy by
drowning who fell with cart over dump
on the Southside some two years ago. The
remains of Mr.. Bender were taken to his
home on Market alley, in the Twenty-four
ward. The inquest will be held this morn
ing.
The deceased had an unfortunate expert
ence on South Nineteenth street about four
years ago, the night before Ed Coffee shot
Officer Edmunds. He was attempting to
arrest a man named Little. The latter was
shot in a fight which followed. Officer
Binder was acquitted when tried for the
killing of Little.

In THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

About SO People Will be Present at the
Joint Coal Meeting.
The meeting of coal operators and rail-
road managers to discuss the 40-mile radius,
will be held in the Chamber of Commerce on
Tuesday instead of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad directors rooms. The reason of the
change is on account of the large number OF
persons expected at the meeting. It is sup
posed that there will be about 30 present
and they will be considerable fun for those
interested.
Notices of the meeting were received by
the operators yesterday. Every firm seen
said they would send q representative
primed with enough data to make the rail-
road people see where they do not under
stand the business of making coal rates.

Tho County Democracy Had a Gay Time at
Its Annual Dance.
The second annual reception of the County
Democracy was held last night in Imperial
Hall. About 25O couples were present. The
grand march was led by the President,
William j. Bremen, ESQ.,, with his accom-
plished lady. The music was furnished by
the Leader italian Orchestra, and the
dancing was continued until an early hour
this morning.
There was no attempt made at speech
making except by various candidates to
small crowds of old voters who occupied the
corners of the large building. The younger
element mixed with the gay and giddy
throng on the dancing floor, and had no
time to discuss the outlook on Tuesday.
The majority of the prominent members of
the association were SO busy with campaign
work that they did not put in an appearance
until late hour.
