H. S. M'CALLUM, President
Brought the Trib. to Time.
There is a very funny story con-
nected with that card Instead of being
published the morning after the con-
demned statement, it appeared one
day later and was evidently held in
the Tribune office, as no correction
was made of the phrase '.in this morn
ing's issue" From what can be learn
ed on the side it appears that one eve
ming a reporter of the Tribune was in
formed in the rooms of the Oquirrh
club that Harry Duke had withdrawn
from the race and M. r. Evans had
been brought in. Next morning the
statement appeared. McCallum, who
knows he cannot keep the club to-
gether unless he makes some appear
ance of being absolutely non-partisan
as regards Republican candidates,
sent over the card of denial to the
Tribune. Next morning it did not ap-
pear. McCallum was wroth He went
over to the office of the Tribune and
the card did appear That accounts
for it being one day late.
still Bad Blood.
The incident merely shows that there
is still bad blood between the Oquirrh
club and the Tribune. Notwithstanding
McCallum's denial, the Tribune knows
that the heads of the Oquirrh club
are pushing Evans for the mayorship,
just as they were pushing Harry Duke
until he dropped out. The sole object
of the club is to secure the patronage
of the city and to use it to further
the ends of the club and it's managers.
The Tribune has its candidates for
mayor and it is after the scalp of the
club. 1t has been called down this
time but look out for another ebulli-
ton.
The claim that the club does not
favor candidates is laughably trans
parent 1t was the club that forced E.
D. R. Thompson onto the Republican
party. The whole force of the club
was behind him. so far as the work
ers went That is why he had trading
strength in the convention sufficient
! to barter him in ahead of the men of
| far greater ability and fitness for the
Office of district judge. 1t is true that
McCallum has buncoed a great many
men into believing that the club is
keeping its hands off. But if they
could see they would speedily de-
nounce the open acts in contradiction
of this.

KELLEY INSTITUTE FIRE
Narrow Escape from Destruction Of
the Asylum for Drunkards.
The Pretty Suburb Awakened From
Sleep by Shrieking of whistles, land
Active Citizens Work valiantly.

Laurel, Aug. 16.-The Keeley Institute
was only saved from being burned to the
ground here early this morning by the
Laurel citizens, aided by the hose OF the
institute and its water tank.
Fire broke out about 1890 a. m. In the
electric power house, which is located about
fifteen yards back of the institute, and
which supplies the institution with its
light, and the plant was enveloped in
flames before it was discovered, or an
alarm had been given.
AS soon, however, as the fire was dis
covered, the engineer of the Laurel Elec-
tric Light Company awakened the citizens
OF the town by continually blowing the
whistle at his power house. In a short time
a large crowd was at work upon the flames &.
endeavoring to keep them from spreading
to the institute. By hard and diligent
work, the fire was kept confined to the
electric plant, which was completely de-
stroyed.
The cause of the fire is not known. The
engineer states that everything was all
right when he shut dow n the plant at 1880
p. m., the regular shutting down hour. He
is under the Impression that the fire was
caused by spontaneous ombustion, as a
good deal of greasy waste waslying around
the power-house at the time.
The damage done viii probably reach
$4,000, the electric plant being worth in
the neighborhood OF 81 500 and the power
house $500. 1t is believed that insurance
was only held on the power-house, and
that clear loss OF about 81 800 will result
from the fire. The property of the institute
is valued in the neighborhood Of $4,000
or $50, 900.

STREET CAR MAILS.
Postmaster wliett's Views On the
Service for washington,

Postmaster wiliett's Views On the
Service for Washington.
A communication was received at the
office of the Second Assistant Postmaster
General to-day from the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association, i'll which the request
was made that simFief street car mail
system to that given Boston, New York,
st. Louis and other large cities be pro-
vided for Washington.
The idea conveyed is the Introduction
here of a street rilway mail service, in
which the Washington & Georgetow Street
Car line can be utilized, thus giving Co.
lumbia Heights and Mount Pleasant the
benefit of the early receipt of the mail
and avoid the loss of time that is now
complained of by the residents of those
localities. The Second Assistant Post
master General is absent from the city and
will be until September 1, therefore no
action on the communication will be
taken until his return.
A Times reporter saw Postmaster willett
to-day and inquired of him what action
he would take in the matter, as a COM
niunication similar 10 the one sent the Post
master General WIS received by him.
ht NAittt bdlu Ills OlllCe WOuiu give
the people of Mount Pleasant and Col
lumbia Heights the best service possible
and thatthe question was being considered.
at this time. Already there had been pro-
vided first-class service to out of town
places and that the ma II was now served
20 Tennallytown and Bethesda. At Ten
naIlytown and Catholic University there
are carriers and inthis' opinion the service
to the District line was good
Anacostia, he said, is the only place
neglected. 1t is the largest fourth-class
office in the District, more peupie living
living there than At any of the suburban
points.
He reiterated that the remote points
of the District were getting good service
wherever the cars run. Only that Anacostia
has not a carrier.
The Washington pos ost-office, he said,
is reaching out and so Ear a IS the communi-
cation received is concerned the Second
Assistant Postmaster General will give
it proper Attention as well as himself.
The fact is overlooked, he said. that to
give the service desired by the citizens
committee money will be required and
that is an important consideration.
