ASPHYxlATED THE FIRsMEN.
Twenty of Them Overcome by Smoke at a
Small Blaze.

Small Blaze.
PITTsBURG, Oct. 21-Yesterday a fire
was discovered in the cellar of ID. Chestnut
& CO., leather findings and boat supplies,
1874 First avenue. The fire in itself was a
small affair. Three engine companies re-
sponded to the alarm. The firemen went
directly into the cellar and a number of
them were overcome by the smoke from
the burning leather, oil, etc. They fell
apparently lifcless in their tracks, where
they remained several minutes before they
were discovered. Firemen Coniey and
Hawt were the first found and were placed
in an ambulance which started with them
to the hospital.
Twenty-One Persons Choked.
On the way there they came to and
jumped out of the vehicle and returned to
the fire, resuming work only to he over
come a second time. They were finally
landed in the hospital, and physicians pro-
nounce their condition very serious. In all
twenty one persons were overcome, all but
one being firemen. The exception was Miss
Chestnut, daughter of the owner of the
store. She was soon resuscitated, and will
recover The condition of Conley and
Hawt gave rise to the report that two fire
men were dead.

Firstly. after announcing that their rolls
would be open to inspection by every one,
they declined to let any one see them, and

have been for the last ten years. Then
objected strongly to accepting mem bership
by postal cards, aud the other undemocrAtic
and corrupt actions OF the sO-called re-
organizers are too numerous TO mention.

Even this might be forgiven if they were

conduct their offices without interference
but this is not the case. As a rule none but
men who are willing TO appoint creatures Of
the bosses to places are given nominations

JOHN NIGHTINGALE


When that veteran Republican, John
Nightingale was asked his reasons for CIV
ing his support to the Non Partisan move
ment he said:
For a long time past no member of our
party with any self-respect for himself and
his own convictions could eonscientiously
vote at all at our municipal elections.
''Ir the first place. one might. perhaps,
personally be inclined to vote for some in
dividual names on the ballot; bat by coun-
tenancng the cOrTupt acts OF the bosses
by voting for any portion of a ticket put
up by INSCRIPTIONS men by fraudulent
nay. criminal-methods, man would not
be acting in the true spirit of ReDublica n
ism. Secondly, no N an would be seen v0t-
ing at any Of the primaries of late years, a
the stuffing of the ballot-bOXes was openly
carried on, and then voter, after waiting
his turn TO cast his vote, would ten chances
to one find some rascal had imperSOnated
him and cast his vote IN an entirely differ
ent direction. This kind Of business. as
said before, has thoroughly disguised all
honest Republicans.
We are all tired of such dirty work and
have determined TO maintain our rights as
citizens bY pushing forward the Non
Partisan cause and ticket. All our can
didates have ben selected from hundreds Of
men, ana each one as DelnE pfe-emlDentiy
suited for the office for which he has been
nominated. Tie selections were made by
duly appointed committees. The result is
we have a complete set OF clean and honest
names upon our ticket.
Il firmly believe that a large majority of
the respectable ctiZ ms, bs they Republi-
cans or Democrats, will vote for our ticket,

manner by their respective bosses. Know

George W. Dixon OF Dixon, Agard x Co.,
manufacturers of cigars, 309 Clay street,
laughed when asked 10 tell why ne was a
Non Partisan.
"Icannot for the life of me see how a
man can be anything else So far as NUM-
eipal affairs are concerned. Eve been Re-
publican for thirty years anu on national
and Congressional affairs | am a Republican
now. but on city affairs l am yelling down
the bosses and Pm telling you they are 60
ing to me down with a dull thud, as you
reporters say.
Why. IoJk here, no matter whether you
are Democrat or Republican y0u have
no Glance with either party. You're be-
tween the devil and the deep sea. It's either
Kelly AID Crimmins or Sullivan and Dwy er,
and nobody knows which Of the two outfits
is the worst.
You can Judge how strong the Nom
Partisan sentiment IS. when tell you Of an
Incident that happened at Republican
club meeting in the Tbirty-seventh District.
A resolution was introduced piedging the
members Of the club TO vote a straight Re-
publican ticket all the way through. Well,
it was defeated by an overwhelming
majority. The boys wouldn't have
it. They were willing to vote it straight
national and Congressional, but not munich
pal The voters in tile Republican and
Democratic parties had nothing to say in
the selection Of candidates. and they resent
it. Make a house-tO-house canvass and
you'll see. | am satisfied that the Nol-
Partisan ticket will win; not every man On
Ii, but almost every man."
