+. p. Martin, Esq, Withdraws His Name as
the Nominee for City Controller.
To The Editor or the Jolnstoton Democrat:
Having been nominated by the City
Democratic Convention this morning for
City Controller, IN looking over the

particular the law relating to Controller,
| find the following; The qualified cleo
tors of each Of said cities of the third

fed to hold the controllership If elected,
and to which expected to have been.
There may be different construction
placed on the law, by which l would be
qualified to hold the Controllership of
this city, and this is the opinion of a
learned lawyer. But for the party's good
and the fear that some one of the OPP
posite party may by chance fill vacancy,
If any were made. / am willing to make
the sacrifice, and here decline the nomi-
nation that was so generously rendered
me by the Democracy of this city. Thank
ing them kindly for the favor offered and
for the trust reposed in me by the Con-
vention, n Yours Truly,

flesh badly Drs. Matthews and Tomb

pleased. The engines came direct from
the mandatory at Seneca Falls, New
York, and are what is known as size No. 9,
the old Conemaugh borough engine hav-
ing been a No. 3.
Monday evening the Conemangh bor-
ough engine was taken off the car and
safely housed in the Company's n, W
house at the corner of Center and Railroad
streets. The Kernville engine will be un.
loaded this morning.
The city Is now well supplied with fire
engines, and when once the whole thing
is systematized as it will be under the
city the fire department should be able
and no doubt they will-to properly guard
the city's properly.

Monday morning, shortly after 5
O'clock, as Engineer Fry who runs a
train on the Johnstown s. Stonycreek
Railroad, was making his first trip he dis
covered the body of man lying on the
track short distance from the Johnstown
Lumber Company's saw mill. The head had
been severed from the body, one lying on
each side of the rail. The remains were
put on the train and brought to Johnstown
and taken to the morgue.
1t is believed that the man was killed
by the last train on Sunday night, which
makes its trip at midnight, The engineer
who made that trip saw no one on the
track, which would indicate that the man
must have been lying on the track. The
engineer thinks he felt jar at the point
where the body was found.
The mans clothing were examined at

Couse of the Tracy Fire.

WASHINGTON, ID, c., February g.
Yesterday Commissioner Douglass
received letter from Gen. Rosecrans
introducing Mr.. Norman Wizard, the
government steam expert, and invit-
ing the Commissioners to allow him
to make an examination of Secretary
Tracy's house, with view OF deter
mining whether the steam heating
arrangements had anything to do
with the fire. Accordingly, Fire
Marshal Drew and Mr.. Wizard made
an examination today, and found
that the felt packing around the
pipes was burnt nearly off, showing
conclusively that the steam in the
pipes was superheated, and, passing
through the register, no donbt set
fire to something near it, and caused
the general conhagration. Mr.. Drew
thinks that this is the best solution
of the problem OF the fire, and there
is little doubt that the superheatel
steam caused the fire.

Here the claim is made that

WAsmSGroS, ID. G. FEB, 3, 1890
The great Congressional fight IL
now fairly on, and tho democratic
members OF tho house are battling
nobly for the rights Of having code
OF rules adopted for tho government
OF the house before going any furth'
er with legislation, and they have in
caucus, determined TO stand by their
guns 10 the bitter end, OF course
they recognize the fact that II the re-
publicnns succeed in their intentions
of senting all their republican con-
tostants before the Rules a:e adopted
they can then adopt any sort oil
rules they may desire, but they will
have u hard time before they do it,
With all of Speaker Reeds unfair de-
cisions it took them three days to
get the contested elections case OF
Smith Va Jackson before the House
The fight has been very exciting, and
the most dramatic scenes have been
frequent on the floor OF the House,
Ex-SpeJker Carlisle has drawn up
an address TO the public in juStifica-
ton of the action OF the democrats
OF the House in resisting Speaker
Reeds usurpation. There is also
talk of making test case in order TO
have the Supreme Court decide upon
the constitutionality OF Mr.. Reeds
actions.
Many republicans openly condemn
Speaker Reeds conduct, and at least
two members OF the cabinet-BIGine
and Rusk-lre known to be opposed
to it. The democratic senators are
aiding the members OF the House in
every way possible.
The President and Secretary No
bic are greatly alarmed over the con-
dition of affairs in Oklahoma and
anxious that immediate action shall
be taken on the Oklahoma town-site
bill, which has already passed the
House, also the bill providing for a
territorial form of government for
Oklahoma now pending in both
House and Senate.
1t is expected that thu House COM
mittee on Reform IN the civil service
will today set date for beginning
the investigation Of the civil service
commission.
Secretary Rusk has received from
Europe large consignment of silk
worm eggs. He will distribute them
free to all persons desiring to raise
silk worms. He will also furnish
books of instructions in silk culture
TO applicants for them.
Representative Dibble, of South
Carolina, has bill before the House
committee on the election of Presi-
dent and Vice-President which pro-
vides for two Vice-Presidents. In
arguing in favor of his bill Mr.. Dib-
bic stated that the United States has
been without Vice President TWEEN
