THE FIGHT FOR CONTROL.

The Westinghouse Party Claim to Have q
Majority of Union switch and Signal
Proxies in Hand-This Statement Is Met
by Counter One.
The war in the Union Switch and Sig
nal Company to determine who shall
be elected President at the meet
ing next Tuesday goes merrily on,
with both parties claiming victory. Mr..
Westinghouse and Mr. Goodman are both
out of the city, but their interests are being
ably cared for by representatives
in Pittsburg. Mr.. Uptegraf, pri'
vate secretary to Mr. Westinghouse
stated yesterday that the latter has enough
proxies already to give him control OF the
meeting. ''We are doing nothing now but
saving wood" said Mr.. Uptegraff 'The
contest is over as far as We are concerned,
and the meeting on Tuesday will be quiet
and one-sded."
Attorney Schoyer thought that Mr.. Upte-
CRAFTS calculations were castles in the air.
He did not make the claim that Mr.. Good
man has proxies to cover a majority OF the
stock in hand, but he didn't think the other
side had either He was confident that Mr..
Goodman will be continued as President of
the company.
An interested stockholder said: "It
looks as if both sides were being deceived
by some of the stockholders playing the old
campaign trick of giving promises to both
sides. 1t is an easy matter for stock
holder to give proxy to each party, the
one with the later date on being the one
that will be accepted. Whatever the re-
suit, it will hardly be reached with the de-
gree of quietude prophesied by Mr.. Upte-
graft. The indications now are that the
meeting will be as lively as the one year
ago when Mr. Rowand carried off the plum.

Jugged for a Free Fight.

Half dozen strangers got into quarrel
at Duffy's Hotel on Grant street last night,
and were put out by bartender. They
then fought on the street and chased each
other about until Smithfeld street was
reached, when the disturbance attracted the
attention of Officers Holmes, Cross and
three others, and each of them succeeded in
catching a man. At Central station they
registered as Ed and John Sullivan, Will

And now comes the report that an Eastern
syndicate is negotiating for the property
corner Liberty and Sixth street, extending
TO 6o9 along Liberty, for the purpose of
erecting ten-story hotel. First they tried
to buy and couldn't, but the Smith heirs,
who own the property, have agreed, it is
claimed, with one exception, to lease the
ground for the purpose mentioned. No
names are given, and there seems to be
little foundation for the report. So many
hotel schemes have failed to materialize in
the last year that the people have lost faith
in these talked-of projects.

Fire in the Seventh Avenue Building,

Another mysterious fire occurred in the
Seventh Avenue Hotel building last even
ing. About s o'clock policeman noticed
smoke issuing from Fink's storeroom. He
broke open the door and discovered the fire
in the cellar. The joists of the floor were
burning. A still alarm was sent in to No. 8
engine house, and the flames were extin-
guished with a Babcock. Six weeks ago
the hotel had three fires in one night, and
their origin, as in this case, could no. be ac-
counted for. At the time Fire Marshal
McFadden thought they were incendiary.

ANOTHER HOWL.
An Anti-Hill Mass Meeting
Held in Brooklyn.
1t Seems to be Mainly After
the Senator's Scalp
And Threatens Dire Vengeance
in Certain Contingencies.
Another Mugwump Meeting.

BROOKLYN. Feb. 12-An anti Hill
meeting was held at Criterion theater to-
night and was largely attended. Angus
tus Healy opened the meeting and his
scathing rebuke of Hill and his followers
was cheered at every point and there
were repeated cheers for Grover Cleve-
land. Edward NJ. Sheppard, chairman
of the meeting, spoke in severe condem-
nation of the act of the Hill men In call
ing such au early convention. He was
followed by John Dewitt Warner, whose
speech was the principal one of the even
ing.
Warner first dealt with the defeat of
Mills for the speakership. He said Mills
was beaten by a combination of those OPP
posed to the management under which
the Democratic party had succeeded-of
which combination the New York state
Democratic organization directed By Gov.
Hill was the principal factor. Whatever
may have been the motive of others,
Warner stated that IN his opinion Hills
plan as defined by his Elmira speech. was
to call a halt in the tariff reform and
bring tree coinage to the front.
The people did right to protest against
a midwinter convention. 1t was the last
and GROWING crime of a long series that
the present Democratic state organization
had committed, and he took it that the
people were not going merely to repudiate
the convention now called, but to give
notice they would visit with political
death any man or organization that dares
thus to force the names OF
New York Democracy. Warner was
loudly applauded and resolutions
were then adopted in line with
those adopted at the New York meeting
last night, and continuing the committee
OF twenty-five who called this meeting
and requesting them to enlarge their mum.
bers to 100 and take such steps as they
NAV deem wise to promote the purposes
of the meeting. Rev. DR.. Chas. H. Hal
next voiced this protest and was followed
by Fred w. Hinrichs, alter which the
meeting broke up, amid enthusiastic
cheers.
