HAN 30 190% toeekig Wttmlb " Fear no man, and do Justice to all men." Vol. I. SEWICKLEY, PA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1904. No. 20 T E 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. **************** I**************************************************************************************** Emsworth Fire.

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. Basket Ball. The Reserves defeated the strong Beaver College team last Saturday night on the latter's floor in a fast and interesting game by the score of 26 to 14.
