WILSON CAN HAVE IT.
Allegheny Democrats Willing to
Nominate Him for Mayor.
J. q. IRWIN WRITES A LETTER.
Waiting Until the Republicans Name q
standard-Rearer.
A TIE In THE SENATE PROBABLE

Itwas clearly indicated at the Democratic
City Committee meeting last night that
Alex. Wilson can have the nomination for
Mayor of Allegheny if he wants it. He
would have been nominated then and there
if he had not checked the movement. The
meeting been called to select the mayoralty
candidate, but only one man had declared
himself in accordance with the action taken
at the last meeting Joseph H. Irwin, of
the Fifth ward, was the man. He wrote
two letters to the Committee Chairman.
The first letter declared his candidacy,
and the second told why he wanted to be
follows:
To Secretary Lang:
DEAR sIR-Some days ago sent Chairman
Koehler notice that would accept the nom-
ination for Mayor on the Democratic ticket
If offered to me. My reason for doing SO
was that 1 think Mayor Kennedy will be
nominated and elected, and do not believe
he is eligible to succeed himself.
1t is well known that MIR. Eschelman is
an independent candidate and expects to
receive many Democratic votes, and Mayor
Kennedy is the Citizens Reform candidate
besides being the Republican nominee, and
will receive quite a number also. Under
these circumstances am not so egotistical
as to claim that can recoup all
these losses and make additional
gains from the Republicans to insure my
election. All I ask is to come in second
best and will contest the mayoralty with
Mayor Kennedy from the start to the finish.
The new election law gives better oppor-
tunity for doing so than the old one wnen l
ran on the Democratic ticket Tor Protho-
notary, and contested-though unsucess-
fully-the election of the Republican candi-
date on account OF his incligibility.
But in the event of there being only two
candidates before the convention, and my
opponent will assure them that he will be
elected, then 1 will withdraw my name so
can be nominated unanimously, and l will
give him my heartiest support.
Mr.. Irwin is a prominent citizen of the
Fifth ward, was at one time the Auditor of
the Allegheny Valley Railway, and, as in
timated in his letter, was a candidate for
Prothonotary.
The disposition among Allegheny Demo-
Gratis seems to be that their candidate would
have no chance against Mayor Kennedy,
should he receive the nomination. CoRse-
quently instead of naming a man last
night they decided to wait until the night
of January9 9, when the Republicans will
have nominated their candidate. It is
claimed that if Tyler is nominated Captain
Wilson will be the Democratic nominee,
but if Kennedy wins there will be none.
Before adjourning last night the committee
filed all vacancies in its membership.

ONE GIRL, TWO LOVERS.

Rivals Quarrel and Fight-One Is Dying,
the Other Is in Jail-A Pretty Polish
Woman the Cause of the Trouble
Tragedy at Duquesne. -----.
Charles Rodgers and Anton Wazko loved
the same girl at Duquesne. As their affec-
tions increased for the Polish woman so did
their jealousy of one another. Christmas
night they met. To-day Wazko is lying at
deaths door and Rodgers is in jail
Several years ago Charles Radzinski came
to this country and found work at Du-
quesne. Soon after settling there he
adopted the name of Rodgers. He went to
board with Frank Sock. Minnie Dano-
witch, Mrs Socks sister, lived there also.
She is q pretty girl, and as Rodgers is
young man warm feeling sprang up be-
tween the two.
A couple of years ago Anton Wazko went
to Duquesne TO live. He was ayoung man,
and soon sought the company of Miss Dano-
witch. She took kindly to his attention,
and he soon had place in her affections.
Rodgers did not care much at first, and
friendship grew up between the two Poles.
Minnie acted her part well, and neither
lover knew that she cared for the other.
Wazko did not board at Socks, 30 Rodgers
had q shade the best advantage, and spent
many of his evenings with Minnie. Wazko
came around at times when Rodgers was not
at home.
Christmas found both wooers dead in love
with pretty Minnie Each man gave her
gifts. That was all right Monday night
Rodgers decided to spend the evening with
his lady love, and early he sought her COM
pany. They were chatting pleasantly
together when Wazko came in. A cold
ness at once sprang up between the two
men. Minnie seemed very glad to see
Wazko and this did not please Rodgers.
During the next hour the last conner allowed
his love for the Polish girl to show in nu-
merous ways Each time jealousy was
aroused in Rodgers heart.
About o'clock Rodgers went outside
and called his enemy out. Some time after
ward he came running into the house and
locked the door. saying he was afraid
Wazko would Kill him. Later in the even
ing Wazko was picked up by policeman.
He was nearly dead. His face was badly
bruised, one ear was nearly cut off and
there was bullet wound in his hip. Rod
gers was arrested and brought to Jail yes
terday, The Pole is expected to die.

WON'T BE DEMOCRATIC.

Senator Shoup Feels Confident the Repub-
licans Will Hold Their Grip on the Sem
ate-wyoming and Nebraska Still in
Line-Paddock VIII Be Returned.
United States Senator Shoup, of Idaho,
who spent Christmas with Councilman
Robert McAfee, of Allegheny, his brother
in-law, returned to Washington last even
ing He was asked if he had heard the re-
port that Idaho and Nevada were to be
united in one State.
'.No, 1 haven't" he replied, 'tand need
not add that it will never be DONE Whether
it is Republican or Democratic scheme it
will not be accomplished. Indeed, it can't
be done if the laws are obeyed
Idaho has increased its popula-
tion. about so per cent, and has not
declined like Nevada. There is some talk
of amalgamating Arizona and Nevada into
one State. What the political effect would
be is hard to say, for the Nevada voters
NAV counterbalance the Democrats in the
Territory.
81 am not worrying about the Repub-
licans losing the control of the Senate.
haven't Been at home since LETT a month
ago for the opening of Congress. The
facts is, the Republicans have lost
only two states Tor certainty
New York and Wisconsin. Senator
Paddock will undoubtedly be returned
from Nebraska, and the last time heard
the Republicans had majority of one vote
on joint ballot in the Wyoming Legisla-
lature. This much is certain, if the next
Senate Is not Republican it will not be
Democratic"
"What do you mean? Will there be
tie?"
ST guess so. The Democrats will not
have majority ranging from 2 to votes,
as they claim"

that may be floating in the atmosphere:
Successive boiling eventually drives out AL
spores and bacteria
A New Public Safety Bureau.
In this connection it may be said that the
psychological branch OF the Department Of
Public Safety is doing a good work. The
Apollo water was examined by DR.. Mercur
in the laboratory at the Central station. 1t
is crude affair, but supplied with sufficient
apparatus to perform necessary examina-
tions to guard against cholera and detect its
presence. The doctors hope it will be
fitted up on a better scale in the future so
that more intricate tests can be made. EI-
aminatlons to protect the health OF the peo-
pie are constantly being made, With the
coming of spring and the uncoubted re-
vival of the cholera scare the laboratory
will be badly needed.
DR.. E. G. Matson, one of the city bacteri-
ologists, in speaking of the local water
supply yesterday, said that as long as Pitts
burg can't own the water she'd from which
it secures its water, it is better to take 1t
from running stream like the Allegheny.
Any filth dumped into the Kiskiminetas at
Apollo or Leechburg would undoubtedly be
removed before the water reaches the Pitts
burg pumping station. Besides the water in
the center of rapid streams is liable to be
pure.

MARKIWLICZ GOT EVEN,

But His Victim Is In Bad Way and>May
Die-He Went to wilkanis' House and
Hit Him ON the Head With Beer
Bottle.
Vincent Markiwlicz was committed to
Jail by Alderman Succop yesterday on q
charge of aggravated assault and battery,
made upon the oath of O. Wilkanis, who is
now living at his home, likely to die from
injuries inflicted by the prisoner. Marki-
wlicz will be held TO await the result Of his
victims injuries.
Both men are Poles residing on the
Southside, and are bad freinds 1t is said
that Markiwlicz has frequently threatened
to kill Wilkins. On Christmas Day the
men met in the street. Both were intoxi-
Gated and they came to blows. Markiwlicz,
the more drunk of the two, rather got
the worst of the encounter. He was pun
ished severely. and it is said he threatened
to get even. He went to a Polish boarding
house on Shelby street, where Wilkanis
boarded, and asked to see him. He was
met at the door by the landladY
who refused him admittance, saying that
Wilkanis had told her not to let him in if
he came. She then slammed the door and
locked it He kicked the door in, and
rushing toward the stairs attempted to
ascend. He was met by the
landlady who tried to prevent him
from going up. He knocked her
down, and passed up to Wilkanis' room.
This door was locked, too, but kicking it
in, Markiwlicz sprang into the room and
grappled with his man. The men Struggled
for several minutes, overturning the furni-
ture and smashing the mirror The assail-

table and broke it over W1lkanis' head.
He was stunned by the blow and fell
bleeding to the floor. Markiwlicz made his
escape, but was arrested later.

Police Refuse to Hand Over Prisoner to a
New York Deputy Sheriff.
Michael PIckareli, tue Italian arrested by
Detective Coulson last week and who is
wanted in New York on two serious
charges, is still a prisoner at the Central
station. Yesterday an italian arrived in
this city, presumably from New York,
and, representing himself to be deputy
sheriff from that city, announced that he
had come here to take Pickarei back. The
stranger was armed with pair of hand
cuffs, but had nothing else to show who or
what he was, and the police authorities re-
fused to turn the prisoner over to him.
The stranger telegraphed to Inspector
Mclaughlin, of New York, tor an order for
the prisoner and the answer received was
that the stranger represented the bondsmen
in the case, and if he had the proper papers
to let him have the man. AS the stranger
did not have the papers he was forced to
return to New York to get them.

A SOUTHERN CHEMIST.
Farmers OF Georgia and Alabama Great
Believers in Fertilizers.

Farmers OF Georgia and Alabama Great
Believers in Fertilizers.
Prof n. T. Lupton. of the Alabama State
Agricultural College, is one of the dele
gates to the meeting of the American Chem
ical Society. He was seen for short time
last evening. He was formerly connected
with the State University, and in addition
to his present position is State chemist
Alabama has a Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, and great deal of attention is paid to
farming interests. Prof. Lupton saws the
agricultural resources of the State are good,
but in recent years much cotton has been
produced.
The Southern States use great deal of
fertilizing material on the land. The
ground is not impoverished, but the farmers
find it pays to use it. Various brands are
made BY dealers, and any farmer can have
the material examined by sending speci-
mems to Prof Lupton. He says that Ala
bama consumes 100 900 tons and Georgia
300, 600 tons of fertilizer yearly. In Ala
bama fine corn as we'll as cotton is raised.
The Professor explained that the Chemi-
cal Society was intended as national or
ganization with the associations already
formed in cities as branches He was afraid
that owing to the cold weather the atten-
dance would not be large.

In striking contrast to the feeble effort of
Mr. Henrici is the bold clear signature of
Mr.. John S. Duss next below. A gentle
man who saw the original mortgage states
that Mr. Henrici's signature upon it was
just about as indicative of the writer's weak
ness at the time as in the case of the new
Articles of Association. But there is no
doubt apparently about the legality of
the mortgage. and even those members of
the society who condemn it are satisfied
that they can do nothing to upset it now.
Whatever may be done on either, side, for
there is plain line of division drawn al
ready between Mr.. Duss and his adherents
and the malcontents, whose members are
likely to be swelled in the course of time,
it is asserted, no legal steps will be taken
for some days

The complaint of late trains on the Penn

seems impossible on account of the cold
weather to make schedule time. The through
express trains have been running behind
on an average about two hours for several
weeks, and last evening was no exception.
The St. Louis express and the Columbia

than the schedule.
