TO BE RETIRED.
Second Ward Representa-
tiveS in Council.
Mr.. EmmOtt Declares Only
One Will Be RenOminated.
Alderman Burbank to Be Given the
Marble Heart in Caucus.

The :Republican ward committee OF
Ward 2 is the arst to announce that the
mistake of year ago will be remedied
and that the false prophets of ridiculous
reform are 10 be repudiated.
Frederick Emmott, chairman of the
Second. Ward committee, told NEWS re-
porter that the entire present delegation
In the City Council, with the exception
of one member, will be retired. Mr..
Burbsnk's name is not to be considered
at all and ex-Councilman Albert &. White
will represent the ward In the Board of
Aldermen next year. He Is to have the
Repu blican caucus nomination as a
matter of course and will receive the sup
port OF many Democrats. A Second Ward
Democrat ssid today: "It will not do
for US to formally endorse the publican
nominee, but we have no man In our
party who will stand any chance of win
ming"
Chairman Emmott is also of the opin-
ion that CounciImen Sisson, Gray and
Kelleher will not go back. Unlike Bur-
brink they have not made the ward a
laughing stock at city hall but they have
done absolutely nothing. Except at rare
intervals their voices have been silent In
the council chambe unless 1t was in re-
sponse to the many roll calls OF motions
to add to the city debt.
Mr.. Emmott says that Councilman
Rathburn Gardner will get the caucus
nomination for reelection.
As TO the three successors for Messrs.
Gray, Sisson and Kelleher, several men,
whose names are familiar in the ward and
at city hall. have already been mentioned.
Among them are ex-Alderman Lansing,
and ex-Coupcilran Barden and Clark, also
ward committeeman George A. Little
field.
Mr.. Littlefeld was much elated over
the fact that the city committee has APP
proved his set OF caucus reform rules and
thus given to the ward committee the
moral support OF the larger organization
for their use at the primaries. As he
understands the duty of his committee
now. II is solely to conduct the caucus
and to see that the rules are enforced.
He does not consider it the duty OF the
committee, es such, to en- dorse any can
didate or to present any ticket, although
the member may do so as individuals. I:
1t Is understood that Mr.. Burbank will
go into the caucus and make fight for
the regular nomination, and, failing
that, will run on independent nomination
papers. In the language of the race
track, he is very, very long shot.

destroyed by fire last night

afre at the south end, facing the ocean.
Mr.. Babcock says the fire was OF an in
cendiary nature, as there were no stoves
or lights Of any description in or near
the building. lie further says IL is a
we'll known fact that IL had been whisp-
cred about the Pier that the building
would he sooner or later destroyed by
fire, as some OF the others who had bath
houses did not like the idea Of having SO
strong competitor as Sherry. The mat
ter is being looked into. IL was insured

When Opportunity COmesWill
Attack Militia.
Their Intention Said to Be to Wipe
Out National Guard.
The Probability Is That United States
Troops VIII Be- Called Out.

DENVER, Col, Sept. 24.--The impress
sion that the presence of troops in Lead
vile would end the strike has been dissi-
pated by. the reports which have reached
Governor Mcintyre from Leadville. He
is told that miners from Aspen, Cripple
Creek and the San Juan are quietly gath
ering at Leadvillle and that at an oppur.
tune moment the strikers will wipe out
the National Guard and burn the town.
The Governor has inquired unofficially of
Brigad ier- General Wheaton, commander
of the military department of Colorado,
as to what assistance the Federal author-
ities can render in case of emergency on
short notice.
Colonel Merriam of the Seventh Infan.
try, stationed at Fort Logan, has been
apprised that his command may receive
orders to take the field, and his troops
will be ready when the official order
comes.
Thirty warrants have been issued BY
the District Court at Leadville for officers
and members of the executive committee
of the Miners Union, all charged with
the murder of Fireman Jerry O'Keefe.
Fifteen OF these have been served and the
men named in them are in the county
jail. Edward Boyce of Boise, Idaho,
Miners, was placed in Jail by the city
Marshal last evening, the sheriff stating
that he WAS there for safe Keeping, no
charge having been made against him
as yet. There was to have been a meet
ing OF the Miners Union at the city hsll
last evening, and General Brooks sent
squad with a gatling gun to the hall
with instructions to prevent the meeting.
The gun was later returned to battery
headquarters, the union meeting having
been held at an early hour and being In
session but ten minutes.
The order declaring that the city should
become subject to martial law at
O'Clock yesterday was suspended until
o'clock. Be fore the latter hour arrived
the order was indefinitely suspended.
Excitement is sgain at fever heat, owing
TO the flood of alarming rumors ana the
failure to declare martial law. Tao
weather is disagreeably cold and damp.
Medical Examiner Palmer is making on
investigation and will probably report
the case to Coroner Lincoln. DIR. Palmer
says 1t is customary to have man on the
rear OF the train, especially when 1t is
being backed, as il was in this case. but
so far as the doctor can learn there was
no man stationed on that end Of the car.
The body wss turned over to friends
and was taken In charge by an East Prov
idence undertaken.
