PokrMAsrER steuart when he took hold
Of the post oiiics had II letter carriers. He
had them. Increased In suiy. 1891, by adding
live or six men. Then he bad them in.
creased again to 81. the present member.
which In his Judgment was required to
give efficient service In our city. Up to
the present time no complaint had been
made as to the service in our city Tho
carriers make four trips daily from the
p. W. & B. II. r.. on the east side to
jackson street, from Market street below
Water to Nineteenth street.
BY getting rid CT these three lettsr car
riers who unfortunately are Republicans
will cripple the service This appeared to
be the only way for Postmaster Moore to
get rid OF these Republican letter carriers.
There were no charges OF inefficleney or
anything else againet these men. The So
cret service agents who were in our city
investigating the post Office made the
suRgustlon to the postmaster that he
might extend the route as the men were
not making eight hours day as require d
by the service. What good Is the civil
service rules when 1t only acts against
Republican letter carriers and not Demo-
crats2
A petition Is now being circulated ask
ing for four deliveries daily north OF
jackson street. which, If granted, and II
should be. will require three additional
carriers 1t seems the Democratic bosses
in our city have made a demand on Post
master Moore for the discharge OF these
particular men. they even naming the
men. Under Postmaster Stewart. the
postotfice management was the most ef'
| tlclent ever given TO our citizens Post
master Moors's actlons will bo watched

i srw LEADra NEEDED.

North American.
We guess tho Delaware Republicans
have seen about enough OF J. Edward
Addicks by this time. A man whose per.
his party. as Mr.. hddicke' certainly does.
is a bad man to have In that party. and the
sooner lie 10 drumme out the batter. It
was Mr.. Addicks' ambition that all but de-
Jeated the election OF Republican Soma
tor. from the State of Delaware; and
piqued by his defeat In that contest, he
has deseended lower aud by sowing seeds
OF dissehsicn In the ranke OF Wilmington
Republicans, has robbed them oil victory
In that dity.
Whatever claims Mr. Addlcks may have
had upon hle party organization, there
were others whose claims were as good
and as strong as his; 10 fact. stronger. as
sentiment drought the state made. evi-
dent In the early stages OF the Legislative
deadlock. Having ascertained this, bis
plain duty as Republican and patriot
was to withdraw from the contest; but
there is good bit OF the small boy policy
about Mr.. Addlcks' politics, and he spite
fully declared that II he couldn't no one
else sholld. Fortunately his fellow.He-
publlcaus put party duty and patriotism
above the man, and he was defeated. The
result Is seen In the election OF the Demo.
cratic Ticket In Wilmington on Saturday.
Away with such polltice! Delaware Is
still Republican State. as Wilmington Is
Republican city; but these revolutions
will occur right straight along II such q
man as Addlcks is allowed to nave voice
| In Republican councils. We trust the
| Delawarsans SEQ the point, and will hasten
| his ohen and the people have declared
against his leadership. Now 1t is
| time to depose him and Install o broad
| minded Republican In his place.

TUESDAY. suNr4. .sss.
The Republican Defsat.

Various reasons are assigned for the de.
feat OF the Republican ticket in our city.
Many of them arc purely imaginary, and
not worth considering. The great cause
was dlssatisfaction produced By the
course pursued By the city committee In
providing for the nomination election.
It may DO that injustice has been done
said committee. but be this as 1t may
many OF the friends OF the different can
dldates looked upon the action az suapi-
cious and determined that those who
stacked lhe cards should be left to
elect the candidates. Hence we find that
there were 1900 more votes put In the
ballot boxes at the nomination election
than at the regular election.
This fact explains the whole matter.
There must bo fair nomination elections.
or the party will be defeated. Ring die.
iation or suspected setting up Of tickets
will not be tolerated. and those who per
sist In such course. may as we'll under
stand this ct once. and learn to keep thsll
hands clear OF all questionable acts. II
they cannot do this there Is little or nj
use Of making contest as defeat will b.
ths result.

Fleeing from the Flames.

KANE, Pa, June 4.-Never before has
this place been threatened with SO much
destruction as yesterday. The forests have
been on fire since Saturday, and all efforts
to check the flames have proved unavail-
ing. Yesterday afternoon at 8 O'Clock the
fire had spread to West Kane, the heat
being so intense that the fighters were
driven back, and the people began to de-
sert their houses for places Of safety.
Every spring is dried up and the place is
at the mercy Of the flames. The fire is now
raging in the oil fields and has burned the
oil well rigs owned by the Griffith COM
pany The Union Oil company has lost
six rigs and three tanks of oil. james
Campbelrs sawmill and over a million
feet Of logs have been destroyed.

there were two cases and each was indeed

Fierce FOREST FIRES
Carrying Everything Before Them
in Northwest Pennsylvania.
FLAMES DESTROY MANY OIL RIGS.

A Small Settlement Near Bradford Wiped
with Dsstruotion aud People Fleeing for
Their Livss-Greater Damage Predicted.
BRADFORD, Pa, June A. The woods
about Ormsby are on fire and q number Of
oil rigs have been destroyed. All COM
munication has been cut of. Fires are re-
ported along the New York, Lake Erie and
Western railroad as far as Allegheny, N.
Y. On the Buffalo, Rochester anG Pitts
burg road at Dent the property Of the
Emery Oil company Is threatened. OIL
rigs all through that section have been
burned as wen as millions Of feet OF stand
ing timber. The most fear Is felt at Routh-
erford Run, where 200 pounds OF nitro
glycerine is stored
Coon Run, q small settlement ten miles
south Of here, in the heart OF the oil fields,
has been wiped of tho face Of the earth.
People had to flee for their lives and great
excitement prevailed. The fire came SO
suddenly that many women and children
were panic stricken and became unable to
move, and had to be carried to places Of
safety In the clearings.
Passengers arriving over the Pittsburg
and Western road say the woods for ten
miles In the oil field is roaring mass Of
flames. Conductor Tanks says the people
on the oil leases are fleeing for safety, but
the fire spread SO quickly that tshe cannot
see how all of them could have besn saved.
So far as reported several oil bumpers are
missing.
A telephone message via Olean, N. Y,
from Knapps Greek, says the leases of
Messrs. Burns, Russell and Curtis have
been fire swept and that the rigs are de-
stroyed. Several dwelling houses have
been burned, and should any wind arise 1t
will likely carry the flames to Knapps
Creek and destroy the town. Knapp s
Creek is located midway on the mountain
between Bradford and Olean, on the w.
N Y g. P. railroad, and has o population
Of 1000.
In the oil field near here great damage
has been done. At the state line on the
Western New York and Pennsylvania
railroad seven dwellings, together with
their contents and q large amount of lum
bcr, have been consumed A lumber camp
composed Of seven dwellings at Oil Valley
Junction was destroyed, together with
thousands of dollars worth Of lumber
The fire may now be said to extend oveI
the entire nothern oil field of Pennsyl
yania.
1t is impossible as yet to give the loss
but 1t will run into the millions Nor car
the number Of deaths be given on account
of the great scope Of country which the
fire covers
