A MIXED TICKET
~. IN THE NEW FIT TIL.
MyrOn Fuller May Be Named for
Alderman and Lawyer Mccarthy
for Member of Council.

A mixed city council ticket in the new
Firth ward. including the name OF Myron
Fuller for alderman. Il. j. Mccarthy for
common councilman and three straight
Republicans for the balance of the tick
ct. probably Messrs. j. William Moore,
Beverly S. Lake and Thomas III. Leonard,
is one of the possibilities.
If such a ticket should be nominated
there is no doubt that II would be elected,
as the electors who have come into the
Fifth from the sixth and Seventh have
the necessary number of votes with
which Ia back up their nominations.
The fact of the matter is that the pres
ent members of the Fifth ward delegation
I'm the city council who will remain in
the new ward lines. Alderman w u.
Reynolds and Councilmen Joseph ID. Grin-
nell and Roswell G. Smith, have stated
that they should all be returned TO the
city council, and that the so-called new
element I'm the ward should be satisfied
with two councilmen.
This. however, the men from the Sixth
ana Seventh wards Will absolutely not
agree to. and IL IL stated that the very
least they Will take is three councilmen,
although many insist they should have
four, but they are willing 10 give their
support TO w. X. Reynolds, the present
alderman

AS the boat swung. into the wharf near
Point street, bridge the stowaway swung
off the rear end OF the steamer and

speed.
Agent. Pitts happened to be on the
wharf or the time and perceiving that
the man was trying TO evade his fare, he
gave chase.
Mr.. Pitts is noted as a sprinter OF no
mean ability, but for all that he could
make but little progress toward the cap

The chase continued up South Water

station. where the stowaway lodged
around telegraph pole and then re-
traced his steps down South Main TO the
works OF the Household Sewing Machine

Messrs. Grinnell and Smith In a night
against the new voters from the Sixth
and Seventh. there will be one of the
prettiest political contests seen In TINS
city for years. for several OF the new
leaders have determined on mixed tick
et,. rather than surrender what they con-
slider their rights.
Myron Fuller. who is spoken of as "a
candidate for alderman. is not new TO
the board having served as alderman
from the Sixth ward from lSo- TO 1888 and
also in 1885, MIR. Fuller, who is leading
coal merchant Is a good deal of an inde-
pendent, although he speaks OF himseif
as Republican,. and he has many very
warm friends I'm the ward.
r. j. McCarthyis s,DemOcrat who has
been closely identified with Sixth ward
politics, bue under. The readjustment act
he Is now a resident of the Firth ward.
Mr.. Mccarthy was member of the COM
mon council i'm 1890. 1892 and 1894, and
during his terms Of service expressed
some very decided opinions on public
matters.
The other three gentlemen are Republi-
cans. and are at present memebrs of the
common council delegation from the
Sixth ward. but are all residents OF the
Fifth. under the new ward lines.
Whether. under these circumstances,
Messrs. Reynolds. Grinnell and Smith
will decide To carry on a fight is very
doubtful, particularly as MIR. Reynolds
has everything to lose and nothing to
gain.
