A Quiet Election—Only One Contest—Results iu Leet
Township.
CITIZENS TICKET IN FIRST WARD.
The Republican primary election in
Sewickley passed off quietly last Saturday, and with one exception the
ticket as named was elected. The
only ripple was the contest for the
assessorship in the First ward between James Buckley and Jaines M.
Little, the latter winning. The vote
was 72 to 77. Eleven votes were cast
in the Second ward.
Mr. Little objects to being quoted
as filing a protest against his, opponent at the naming meeting on the
ground of party regularity when Mr.
Buckley's name was called by the
chairman of the committee, but as
Mr. Little was the first one whom the
Herald representative heard speak on
the subject, he understood the gentleman to make such objections. However, as the meeting is a matter of
history, we will not press the point.
We have no desire to do an injustice
jo the gentleman.

WHAT  MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BAD
ACCIDENT AVERTED  BY A
TELEPHONE GIRL.
Miss May Rupert, night operator,
at the central telephone office at
Emsworth, deserves credit for her
pluck and energy in an emergency.
About eleven o'clock on Tuesday
evening, while engaged in her duties,
she noticed that the, residence of Mr.
William Eidenricher, a short distance
from the telephone office, *iwlas'. on
fire. Going to her exchange board! she
rang up some of the neighbors, who
succeeded in arousing the inmates of
the burning house just in time to save
them from destruction. The men
and women who had arrived on the
scene formed a bucket brigade and
succeeded in saving several adjoining
residences. The Eidenricher home
was burned to the ground with its
-contents, causing a loss of $4,000.
The origin of the fire is, thought to
have been due to an overheated
stove.
• A largely attended meeting of the
oters of Leet township, including
lie First and Second districts, was
lelcl at the old polling place, Edge-
vor'h,   last   Saturday   evening.    The
Slippery Pavements.
The condition of the pavements
within the borough limits during the
past two weeks have been wretched.
There has been a lovely alternation of
j snow, sleet, slush and ice, and the
I next coverirg will likely be pure unadulterated mud. It is too bad that in
a pretty town like Sewickley we cannot have- the sidewalks kept in better
condition. We understand there is a
borough ordinance covering this matter, and we hope our genial burgess
will have it enforced.
Close of Revival Services.
The special evangelistic services
closed on last Sabbath. In the afternoon a meeting for men was held in
the M. E. church, which was attended by about three hundred men. Rev.
David R. Breed, D.D., of Pittsburg,
gave an interesting and forcible address on the subject, "The Character
of Nicodemus."
In the evening a union service was
held in the same place, which was
largely attended. Addresses were
made by Revs. J. J. Hill, E. M. Milli-
gan and H. B, Rankin. This Closed
the meetings, after a successful four-
wesks' campaign,
Pire at Bellevue.
The residence of George Campbell,
of Division street, Bellevue, caught
fire on Monday morning from a defective flue, and the entire upper portion of the house was destroyed, entailing a loss of $1,500.
