MUNICIPAL POLITICS.

We were fortunate in being in New
York at a time when a most important
upheaval in it's municipal political his
tory was taking place. Public feeling
had run high, and the civic spirit of
right-thinking citizens, forced into ex-
istence by the undisguised corruptions
of Tammany. had wrought a deep-seat-
ed desire for decent government and
the election of moral-minded men to
office. Though Tammany, dominated
by the cunning of Croker, had nonii-
mated an able, high-spirited citizen for
the important office of Mayor of Great
er New York ASSOCIATED with him for
minor official positions men of tar
nished character), the intelligence and
common sense of the voting population
could not be hoodwinked. The man nee
essary for the moment arose in the
person of William Travers Jerome.
nominated for the office of District At
torney by the Citizens Union. With no
tricks OF" oratory, hitting straight from
the shoulder with plain unvarnished
tales OF Tammany's misdeeds, he
changed the character of the entire
election, placing it on purely moral
plane. In the attitude of q common
sense reformer. having every regard
for the weaknesses of human nature.
he eliminated partisan politics from the
election, placing the character and hon
est aim Of the individual in the fore
front of the issues. The campaign
presented the unique feature of being
a moral more than a political issue;
this is what New York needed. The
result has been the triumph of the ap-
peal for decency and clean administra-
ton. and the utter overthrow of the
policy of "Spoils to the victors.''
In addition. there could be no more
convincing proof of the success of man

geneous foreign population, and cen

operators in fighting the run OF mine and

would only be voting for something they
already have. II is this point that pre-

FOUGHT HER RESCUER.
PitiabIe Plight of ANNA Hayes, n Deaf
and Dumb Domestic.

Anna Hayes. a servant in the home OF
John r. Welch. was terribly burned yes
terday morning. Her dress caught fire
from a gas jet under a water tan in the
laundry. Miss Hayes is deaf and dumb
and was unable to make an cutlery. She
tried 10 put out the fire. and when the FIRE
had burned through her clothing she be-
came frantic and rushed upstairs. In the
kitchen she met Mrs. Welch, who tried TO
assist her in putting out the fire but was
unable because the girl I'm her fright fought
her. not knowing that an effort was being
made TO assist her. Mrs. WEIGH grabbed a
heavy cape and tried 10 put out the IRE,
but was unable. The servant girl grabbed
her and the two struggled with each other
until Mr.. Welch entered. He was able 10
throw the girl TO the floor and smother the
flames with his overcoat. She was sent TO
st. Vincent's Hospital and last night was
doing fairly well. The physician said the
reports OF her injuries were somewhat ex-
aggerated, although death might result ul-
timately.

NOW DOWN TO BUSINESS.
The Miners Discuss the Scale I'm Ex-
ecutfye Session.


For the first time since the conference
of the coal operators and miners began
the delegates TO the convention last night
discussed the proposed wage scale with
serious faces. After the conference ad-
journed yesterday afternoon the miners
held an executive meeting and unanimous
ly decided to stand by every proposition
submitted to the operators. The session
was short, which clearly indicates the posi-
tive stand the miners have taken. 1t Is
now up to" the operators TO make a move.
With the exception OF a demand for an in
crease in wages all the other propositions
are practically to establish uniformity
throughout the competitive field. On these
questions the miners have nothing TO COM
promise, they say. as II merely means the
placing Of ali operators on an equal footing.
of these questions the run OF mine and ma
chine dinerential are the most important,
and the miners OF Ohio and Pennsylvania
which States are more particularly affected,
ask these concessions because they say
they are entitled TO them. The position
the miners have taken makes IL positive
that unless the operators make some con-
cessions the conference will adjourn with
out an agreement. and IL is expected that
by tomorrow night the result will be
known.
A report has been circulated that the
miners of Ohio and Pennsylvania might
show an inclination TO stand by their opera
tors on the questions of run of mine and
machine diferential. President W. H. Has
kins. OF the Ohio district. said last night:
The Ohio miners are with the miners in
every demand, and / can positively say that
they will stand by any demand that is
made
President Patrick Dolan. of the Penn
sylvania district. said: "The miners OF

companies in many instances are one and

that the railways should get a better price
than the retail trade. LAS 10 run OF mine"
he said, I'VE are here to settle il, and let US
settle it once and for all. We should either
get 1t now or quit"
RECEIVED WITH INDIFFERENCE.
Reese's speech was received with the
same indifference on the part of the opera
tors that was shown by the miners when
Robbins got through with his address at
the opening of the session.
The West Virginia situation was only
touched on when Chris Evans spoke. He
said that State is on the run-of-mine sys-
tenn and that the operators had representa-
tives on the scale committee while the
miners of West Virginia had none. The
roll was called at the conclusion of Evans's
speech, which resulted In the operators
standing together against IL and the miners
for it. This placed the Illinois operators
as voting against the system which Is now
the basis Of payment in that State.
The demand for a uniform wage scale
for all outside laborers and eight hours a
day met the same fate without discussion.
The demand for a differential of 7 cents
between pick and machine mining was lost
by the same even vote and without discus
sion on the part of the operators. Again
the Illinois operators voted against their
own system.
The demand for an increase In the wages
of drivers and inside workmen TO $40 a
day and an advance of 10 per cent. the de-
mand for an open powder market and the
establishment of the check-off system in
competitive fields were lost by the opera
tors all voting against them and the miners
for them.
When the debate on the scale was fn-
ished one delegate wanted to know IL the
operators came here TO make a scale or
just to nave a trip TO Indianapolis. F. l..
Robbins then moved to again refer the
scale to the scale committee, but withdrew
the motion at the request Of President
Mitchell TO allow the miners to meet and
TAX up the matter at 9 o'clock this morn
ing.
Throughout the afternoon the best Of
feeling was apparent between operators
and miners. As each question was called
and the operators voted mo" and the
miners aye both sides Joined in a laugh.

That Is the Mission of Good Food.

There is an abundance OF proof that food
can be selected that will build up a brain
as well as a body.
One case is that of a boy. and the de-
scription is given by his mother. She says:
This particular son has always had a deli
cate stomach. and when he was an infant
had cholera infantum for two or three sea
sons In succession; he was exceedingly
hard TO raise. and was not well enough to
go TO school when he became old enough
Tn mother says: Finally we concluded
10 put him on Grape-Nuts exclusively and
see what the food would do for him. We
did. and 10 our great astonishment our
boy improved daily. He Is now hearty and
getting along In school unusually we'll. He
still depends upon Grape-Nuts for a soodly
share Of his diet.
Whenever children are hungry at bedtime
10 Is always safe TO let them eat Grape
Nuts and let them go 10 bed. I came 10

that the city should pay him N.O50 for the
property condemned. instead of $50.

The Supreme Court refused to grant a re-
hearing in the case which grew out of the

had previously held that the mortgages

Two damage suits for considerable
amounts were filed yesterday against
the Indianapolis Street-railway Company.
Ulysses Grant Richardson wants 10000
from the company to compensate him for
alleged permanent injuries. He claims that
some months ago he was working for the
Manufacturers Gas Company, digging a
trench at the intersection of Georgia and
Illinois streets. A car approached the
place where he was working at the same
time a wagon was passing. Through the
negligence of the conductor of the car
Richardson claims the wagon was knocked
over into the trench against him, causing
him serious hurt.
Thomas G. Lewis says that he signaled a
car at the corner Of Alabama and st. Clair
streets for the purpose of getting on, and
that while the car slowed sufficiently for
him to get a hold on the hand railing the
conductor started the car before he could
get a firm footing. AS a result, he alleges,
that he was thrown to the ground and
badly hurt. Lewis thinks 5000 will pay
him for his injuries

WRITES FIRST OPINION.


The opinion affirming the judgment for
the defendant in the suit by the admins
traitor of William d. Brooks against the
p, c., c. & St. L.. handed down yesterday
by the Supreme Court, was written by
Judge Gillett. 1t was his first opinion since
taking his place on the bench ter days
ago. The suit was for damages growing
out Of Brooks's death caused by being run
over ty a switch engine. The accident
happened at the State-street crossing in
Indianapolis nearly five years ago. The
evidence showed that Brooks was walking
with his head down when he was struck,
but the appellant tried TO hold the railroad
company liable on the ground that Brooks
was a passenger on a freight train, ana
the company was negligent in not provid-
ing a safe place for him TO alight and a
safe path from the place he left the train
70 the street. Judge Gillett said this neg
ligence. IL there was any. was chargeable

To Enjoin East Chicago.

In the United States Court suit has been
brought against the East Chicago and
Northern Indiana Water Company, the
Lake County Water and Light Company
and the city of East Chicago, Ind. The
complainant is the Fidelity Trust and
Guaranty Company of Buffalo. 1t is
averred that the city of East Chicago
declined to purchase the plants of the water
companies as II promised, and they went
into the hands of a receiver. The Buffalo
company holds the bonds of the water COM
pany and now brings suit to have the au-
thorities of East Chicago enjoined from
removing the pipe and other material of
the companies and substituting a plant Of
its own.
