EX.CHlEF kLIEVES.

Just at this point the interview given
a Register reporter by ex-Fire Chief
klieves, the night he was turned down
by the Republican ring Council caucus,
is interesting. He said:
IF | had chosen to be dictated to by
certain persons" he said, Il would not
have been compelled to fight my way
through two years of service as chief
of the fire department. This crowd has
attempted to run the fire department.
Then, after a momentary hesitation,
he added:
"The initials of one of them are
James X. Hall
And the initials Of another are
Charles Henning-
"And-well, you can guess the
Others"
Soon after l became chief" he on
tinued, II gave the committee to I'M
derstand that l would conduct the
department in accordance with my
own views as to the means for insur-
ing its efficiency. They were very sore
because did not summarily fire the
Democrats in the different houses.
Il m as good a Republican as any
man who ever voted the ticket.
They had committees to wait on me,
and tell me who to remove. who to APP
point. and how generally to conduct
the fire department SO as to please
them. II | had been satisfied to be the
nominal head of the department only
to draw my salary and let the Ohio
county ring II the Department.
would probably have been reelected.
1.-The ring is responsible for what
eve lack of discipline there has been
in the department. If | reprimanded
or suspended a man. he went to his
Councilmanic friends, and they waited
on me and insisted upon the suspen-
sion being removed. In the Porter case,
for example; the man was insubordi-
nate to both his foreman and myself,
and when / suspended him he coolly
informed me that he would go off IL
the committee said so. but not on my
say. Instead of assisting me in better
ing the condition of one of the most i'm
portant city departments, certain Re-
publican members of Council have done
everything in their power to embarrass
me-"

POLITICAL NOTES.

Your jobs taken. No use in spend
ing your money and time for the ring.
You will save money and reputation
by voting the reform ticket.
The floating gang" is in evidence In
the First ward. II you want to take a
beer bath, join the floating gang" of
the First.
Beer and beer money furnished by
the ring is Is plentiful in the out-of-
the-way places, these days, as flies
around a molasses barrel. All know
whose beer and money it is.
The ring salary list at the City Hall
now foots up s11, 500. Under good old
fashioned Democratic rule the salary
list only footed $500. Vote against
the ring, and reduce salaries and
taxes.

THE z ESCAPED

Lebanon, Pa, January 22.-Three
heavy explosions occurred at short in
tervals at the Bird Coleman furnace
plant at Cornwall, five miles from here.
last night. Buildings we're shaken and
many window panes broken throughout
the town. The Twin furnaces we're
much damaged and the loss was heavy.
OF the many hundreds of workmen,
none were seriously hurt, although a
number suffered slight injuries.
The explosions were caused by mol
ten metal eating its way out OF the
stack and entering the pit, where it
came in contact with water. The fur
naces are operated by the Lackawanna
Iron and Steel Company, OF Scranton.

BEER AND DOODLE.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-I CHANGED to be in the Sixth
ward, Saturday night, and while there
I ran across a detachment of the ring
electioneering contingent. A number
of the leaders were there headed by His
Honor the Mayor, Candidate Clemans,
and Clerk Henning, of the Circuit
Court, and in the ranks was a motley
crowd Of strikers, heelers and hangers
on. Beer flowed freely, and money was
very plentiful. l had an opportunity
to come into contact with the crowd.
and early made the discovery that the
fight was for Butts alone. the word
being: vote for Butts for Mayor, and
let the rest go!" The crowd was en-
thusiastic over this sentiment, and no
doubt other Republican candidates will
feel the effects of the one-man cam
paign thus inaugurated. l am told the
big crowd visited every saloon and
club house in the ward.
Beer and Doodle appear to be not only
the main, but the only, ring election
eering devices in this campaign. The
public interests cut no figure, and IL the
ring wins again, the motto of the
crowd will be. more than ever, "The
public be d-n; we won ourselves, and
we paid the price,"
1t is a time for Independent voters
to not only think, but to so vote that
there will be nc danger of the triumph
of these men who go about shaking
their money in the face OF citizens. Do
the good Republicans of the Sixth
ward approve of the methods adopted
by the men representing the party now
in power?
A good many Of Dur people are grow

Wheeling Girls Overtaksn at BeIIaire and

Sent Home.
Yesterday about 10 a. M, Marshal
Johnson, of Bellaire, upon informa-
ton from this city, took into custody
Anna Connell and another girl named
Lally just as they were ready to take a
b. & o. train for Columbus. The girls
o belong to Wheeling and have
parents residing here. The cause for
the girls wanting to run away from
the parental roof is not stated, but
their absence created much uneasiness
and a search was instituted, resulting
in their apprehension and return to
their homes.
