Tuesday morning in the rooms OF th'
Jobbers association, in the Kasota block
The matter was discussed in all it,
phases, but nothing of definite nature
was decided upon. Many of the gentle

annoying question will BE- INDUCED in.

D. T. Davies, q member of the Davies
Packing Co., doing business at 1881 East
franklin avenue, and a resi- lent of 26l8
Sixteenth avenue south, has had pub
llshed in the Evening Journal an aft
davit denying that be is member of the
| A. P. A. In statement made to The
IRISH STANDARD, Thursday, he declared
that he was never member OF the A. p.
A and that he is opposed to this pro-
scriptive organizationbotn in letter and in
spirit. Mr.. Davies feels the insinuation
thus cast upon him very keen@y and cites
number of gentlemen who will vouch
for the truth of his statement, any one
of whom would be sufficient to clear him
from the imputation thus cast upon his
good name.
Five alarms called out the fire depart
ment Sunday, but none of them were of
a very serious nature. The first was in
q dwelling house at 14l1 Washington
street at 4:45 a. N. The house and con
tents we're badly damaged. While this
fire was in progress another alarm was
J turned in from the Big Boston block, but
this was extinguished without injury to
the stock. A gasoline stove proved the
occasion for the third alarm at Twenty
fourth street south and Colfax avenue,
but no damage worthy of mention was
done. At four o'clock the Bryant school
building had little blaze, which was
uickly punched, and then the boys had
rest until ten o'clo ok at night when a
frame dwelling at 1887 Nicolet avenue
was badly scorched.
The Fourth ward Peoples party al
dermanic trouble is to be aired in the
courts. Tuesday an order was signed in
the district court, compelling William
Dye and Patrick Tierney to appear be-
fore the court, and show cause why they
should not make certificate, showing
that BERNHARD Newman was nominated
for alderman of the Fourth ward. Sew
eral very strong affidayits are attached
to the order, one from Patrick Fahey
and another from d. J. MILESTONE, as
we'll as one from Newman himself
These affidavits state positively that
Newman received the highest number Of
votes, in spite of the fact that the re-
spondent certified that l.. W. Pruss had
received the largest number Of votes
