FOR KENNEpY's SUCCESSOR.

The Republican Nominees Chosen for Coun-
Gilman From the Fourth Ward.
The Republicans of the Fourth ward, Al
legheny, met last night in the Liberty street
school to suggest a candidate for the une1-
pired term in Select Council made vacant
by the resignation of Mayor-elect Kennedy.
There was a fair representation of citizens
of the ward present. and when the meeting
was called to order Joseph w. Prescott was
chosen Chairman and w. f. Meese and
Frank NJ Scott Secretaries.
Andrew Lysle suggested the name of
John Fielding and this was quickly fol-
lowed by the name of William K. Freid, by
Captain Archibald. At this point Mr.. L.
d. Herts, who was also a candidate for
nomination, withdrew his name The sug-
gestions we're then closed on the names of
Fielding and Freid. 1t was then decided
that the two latter names should 60 before
the Republican primaries. which will be
held on Saturday between 4 and Z o'clock in
the evening. Each of these gentlemen left
deposit of $50 to meet the expenses OF the
balloting.
Mr.. Fielding, one of those suggested, has
been School Director in the Liberty School
for is years and has resided in the Fourth
ward for 25 years. He stated after the
meeting that he was confident of winning
the nomination of his party, and that he
had the support of Mayor-elect Kennedy.
There is no indication of any Democratic
opposition.

TURNED OUT TO PREACH,

Closing Features of Allegheny o. p. Theo-
logical Seminary Commencement.
The commencement exercises of the ALLIE
gheny United Presbyterian theological
Seminary were concluded last night in the
First U. P. Church, Allegheny. A large
number were present. The exercises were
conducted by Prof. James A. Grier, D. D.
The opening prayer was delivered by the
Rev. Dr. Wilson, of Wooster, o. An ad-
dress to the graduates was to have been de-
livered by the Rev. DR.. j. B. Lee,
of Franklinville, n. Y, on ''Theopneusty,
or Inspired Words for Gods Workmen,"
but he was absent, owing to illness, and his
place was filled bv Rev. Mason W. Press
ley. He spoke at length instructing the
graduates as to the proper spirit necessary
for the prosecution of their future work of
evangelism, and pictured to them the i'm
portance of the pulpit and the prominent
part minister of the gospel should take.
Prof. Grier spoke next, bidding the grad
yates farewell, and giving them words of
good advice to govern them when they en-
ter on the life of minister. Prof. Grier
then delivered to the 1S graduates their

ATE POISON WITH A SPOON.

One OF Rev. Father MolIinger's Patients
Grows Weary of Life.
Lucy Dugan committed suicide Tuesday
evening at her home on California avenue.
She took the rough on rats route and left
misery behind Hers was one of the most
determined cases of self-poisoning ever
known. She had made a mush out of two
thirds of box of rough on rats and then
ate the nauseous stuff with spoon.
Miss Dugan was 30 years old and resided
with her sister, Mrs Curran, at 2 Stewards
block, California avenue extension, ALLIE
gheny. She is tailoress, and from her
work she contracted spinal trouble She
has been suffering with it for ten years, and
has been attended by many of the promi-
nent doctors of the country. Lately she
has been going to Father Mollinger on Troy
Hill. Her disease has recently developed into
St. Vitus' dance and she could not get EN-
ployment. On Tuesday afternoon she had
been up to see the venerable priest and
when she returned her sister thought she
walked more firmly than usual. She said
she was going to lie down. At 5 o'clock
Mrs. Curran went up to call her and found
she was vomiting violently. On the mantel
piece she saw spoon with white SUBJ
Stance in bowl. She suspected poison and
called in DR.. Lindsay, but the woman died
Tuesday evening at o'clock in terrible
agony.
Yesterday when Coroner Mcdowell in
vestigated the case he was puzzled as to
what poison had been taken until ON a roof
below he saw bit of pink paper. A man
climbed down and found the paper con-
tanned about third of the contents of a
box of trough on rats" A little further
down they found box that had contained
trough on rats" It showed that she had
mixed up the stuff in the box and then ate
it with spoon. When she was through
she threw the empty box out the window.

COSTELLO Is REELECTED.

Michael McQuade Also Gets Bis Old Place
Will Not Be Changed-President Nc
Bride in Pittsburg.
The United Mine Workers of the Pitts
burg district opened their annual conven-
tion yesterday and will be in session to-
day. There were SO mines represented, and
the reports of the committees showed a
commendable increase in membership and
interest.
The principal thing done was the election
of officers. The contest was not very
spirited and resulted as follows: Presi-
dent, John Costello Vice President, George
Wilson; Financial Secretary and Treasurer,
Michael McQuade; Executive Board, Sam
uel Devore, Thomas Oats and Nicholas
Schumacher. Messrs. Costello and Nc
Quade held these same offices last year.
To-day the scale will be taken up. At
present 70 cents is the rate paid. 1t will be
very peculiar if higher figure is asked for.
The organization is not in shape to stand a
fight against the operators at the present
time. The dead work scale will receive a
great deal OF attention, as it has been
neglected of late.
National President John Mcbride
came into the city last night. He
will be present at to-dav's session
and tonight he and President Costello
will address meeting at Banksville. The
next day he will attend the convention at
Monongahela City. He had little to say
about the miners. He is pleased with the
progress the organization is making in the
various States, and says he is satisfied with
the scales that have been arranged so far.
In speaking of the division of the river and
railroad business, he said that would ma
terialIze, whether it would be at the Monon-
gahela City convention or later.

Tho Baker Ballot Law Was Perplexing
System for the Allegheny Election
Omcers-DifHcuIty in Making Returns
Who Pays the Bills.
Numerous Alleghenians are now con-
demning the Baker ballot system. Its
working yesterday did not meet with their
hearty approval. Very few OF the
election officers understood its work
ings and their troubles did not
end even with the closing of the polls or
counting of the votes. Making out the re-
turns seemed to be the perplexing problem.
A part of the officers made their returns to
the Prothonotary and the others to the
County Commissioners. The dispose
tion of spoiled and unused bal
lots was another thing not clearly
understood. Some were returned to
the Prothonotary, other officers sent them
to the Commissioners, while some were
stuffed in the ballot boxes. The County
Commissioners are in the dark on this, as
the law just saws the ballots should be re.
turned to the '.proper officer" but does not
designate who that is.
There was also some discussion concern
ing whether the county or municipal gov
ernment should pay the expense of holding
the election. 1t was settled by the county
paying for the rental and the cost of de-
1ivering supplies, the city paying the
election officers. The election has also
brought up the question of caring for the
booths, etc. The law requires the Alder
man of the district to take charge Of
the stuff This could not be done in
Allegheny county as there are as many as
twelve election districts in some wards or
townships. 1t is probable the county will

A FAMILY HOODOOED.
Many Things Which Have Happened

Daniel Tobin, of McKeesport, Attributes
Many Things Which Have Happened
Him to That Cause.-The Mysterious
Deaths of His Father and Sister.
Daniel Tobin, a timer of NICK eesport,
has become convinced that some strange
''hoodoo" is pursuing his family. About
two years ago his sister Mary was found
drowned at Staplet on, Staten Island. The
case attracted attention, but a careful in
vestigation failed to clear away the mys-
terry that surrounded the unfortunate young
woman's death. The telegram apprising
Mr. Tobin of his sisters death was dated
IS. c." instead of ''S. L." and Mr.. Tobln
started for South Carolina to find to his
great disappointment that he had been hur-
rying away from instead of toward the
scene of the tragedy.
Suit was entered against the Western
Union Telegraph Company, but only small
damages were secured. A few months after
Mr.. Tobin was called to Franklin, Pa, by
another sad affair. The family residence
had been set on fire, and his father, I. n.
Tobin, was burned to death. There was
every evidence that he had been murdered
and the house set on fire to hide the evil
dences of the crime, but the perpetrators
were not discovered.
Last summer Mr.. Tobin was placing tin
roof on a house in McKeesport, when he
slipped and fell to the ground, breaking his
leg and sustaining other Injuries The limb
was not reset in the proper manner, and he
had to spend several months in the hospital.
He is still lame from the accident, and is
compelled to walk with cane.
Yesterday while working on new resi-
I IL Il
hatchet, made a misstroke, striking Mr..
Tobin on the biceps of his right arm, pene-
trating the flesh to the bone, and, the attend
ing physician states, forever destroying the
use OF that member.
