His theory is to prevent deDredatious by knowing the sneak thieves, burglars and dangerous classes so well that when thevputinanappearance they find themselves spotted at once, and warned offbefore thev have a chance to do mischief.

The new Sucerintendent is married, has a family of seven children, and resides in the Fourteenth ward. He has now arrived at the best period of his activity. His ap pointment is esteemed a fit recognition of capacity of very high order, and will give general satisfaction. Another Old-Timer Honored Daniel Silvis, who also on civil service reform principles has been promoted to Assistant Superintendent Daniel Silvis. Assistant Superintendent, is like Superin tendent O'Mara, an old-timer, though still in the prime of physical strength. He also began his service on the Pittsburg force un der Ma3-or McCarthy's administration. As the officer in charge of the important cor ners at Filth and Market and at the post office, his good natured features have been familiar to thousands of citizens. Assistant Superintendent Silvis is noted for his politeness and has beengreatlv in de mand at parties at private residences and in other semi-ceremonial capacities. He was also officer at the Opera House for years. He is a thoroughly reliable man, much respected, and in his'new position it is believed will suit admirably. A likeness oi him is herewith given.

As a roundsman in the early days he was noted for his fidelity and for being a good disciplinarian. Like Superintendent O'Mara and Assistant Sil vis, Coulson has a quality of making warm Jriciuls and a great many of them. It may be said of the thiee appointments that none could be made which would give mors tatisfaction to so many people.

A GAIN IN CLEANLINESS And a Considerable Economy in Fnel Secured at the Same Time. EXPERIENCES OF BUSINESS HEN, is Well as Leading Manufacturers, the Devices in Use. With IX EJfGINEER WANTS AN EXPRI&SION There is no longer any donbt of the suc cessful operation of smoke consumers or smoke preventers. A large number of build ings and manufactories m the city are al ready supplied with the various devices on the market, and in nearly cverv case satis faction is expressed at the economy of fuel, as well as in the lessening of the smoke nuisance. Dr. Sutton, in the discussion at the En gineers' Society, stated the case plainly when he said: "If we must have smoke in the manufacture of iron we will have to stand it, for we must make iron in Pitts burg, but there is no excuse in the world tor every bakery, drygoods house, factory or other business, establishment in the city belching forth dense volumes of black smoke to discolor and damage the buildings, furniture, carpets, clothing and 'works of art of everyone in the city. It is this class of smoke nuisances, I believe, that produces the most of our griminess, and our city is not up to the mark in progress because she does not suppress them. Views That Are Very Popular. In visiting a number of establishments yesterday where consumers are in use a Dispatch reporter found many persons ready to indorse Dr. Sutton's statements. The complaint in the lower part of the city is general and those who have had practical experience with the various kinds of fur naces and btokers are bewailing the fact that their neighbors will persist in standing in their own light by not adopting one or the other of the devices, if only to save fuel, not to mention the incidental preven tion of smoke. At the Hamilton building Mr. Hamilton was found tilted back in a chair with a look of resigned misery on his face, while he watched a couple of employes cleaning a week's accumulation of soot from the sky light over his private office. "What do I think of consumers?" he re plied to a query. "Just look at that sky light where it li3S not been cleaned. I might as well have it boarded over lor all the light that comes through. There is one week's accumulation of the soot Irom my neighbors' smokestacks. It's half an inch thick and must be removed every week. It costs me ?90 a year to take off that soot, more than the interest on the cost ot smoke preventers my neighbors ought to use, to say nothing about the damage done in my building to stock, furniture and embellish ments. Experience With a Consumer. "Yes, I have used a patent stoker for about a year. The cost of the apparatus, including a device for transferring the coal from bin to lire, was 52.000. I have two boilers and a stoker under each. It I were using gas now it would cost me 1,000 a year to make steam to lieatr the building and for operating the elevators and electric light machines. I use coal slack, and it costs me not less than 51,300 a year, includ ing the handling ot coal and ashes. ' This is also a saving of about 40 per cent over the cost of burning coal without the apparatus. I can regulate the heat by this automatic stoker almost as well as with natural gas. "It is not claimed that it is a total pre ventative of smoke, but it does reduce smoke almost to a minimum. I have no hesitation in saying that it reduces the volume of .smoke emitted from our stack at I least 75 per cent That is a conservative estimate and it settles beyond doubt that smoke preventers are a success. Our City Councils have no excuse for longer post poning the passage of the ordinance in their hands to compel the use of some suchde vicc It is not a matter of private right but one of -public concern, and if by a law the city officers can reduce the smoke nuis ance 75, or even 30 per cent, it is their im perative duty to pass such a law." Economy as Well as Cleanliness. At Danziger & Co.'s store on Sixth street there is in operation an apparatus which, while not called a smoke consumer, prac tically accomplishes that object incidentally to saving 25 to oO per cent in fuel. The firm is highly pleased with the apparatus and declare that while it was only adopted to save annoyance from the smoke to their neighbors it had proven so economical and. clean that it was Hell worth its cost to them. The apparatus cost $250 complete, and since its introduction under the boiler in November had only burned about one half of what had been burned before. At the Seventh Avenue Hotel an auto matic stoker is in use under one boiler. Its cost was H,000. The chief engineer in charge, a man of more thaj 40 years' experi ence with steam engines and boilers, said: "Our stoker is au undoubted success as a smoke consumer, though, by reason of the way it has been constructed, itdosnotgive the most satisfactory results in steam mak ing. The heat is terrific, but is notf prop erly distributed. This is no lault of the ap paratus, however, and I think can be easily adjusted. All of the SmokH Consumed. "No smoke passes out of the stack from this furnace; it is all consumed. I am satisfied that the batement of the smoke nuisance can be largely accomplished in this city with the devices now on the market, and I believe it only a question ofa short time uutil inventors will have made it possible to stop smoke entirely. At the same time I fully agree with William Metcalf, that iron manufacturers cannot avoid making smoke. But if we have only the smoke lrom our iron mills there will be little inconvenience suffered by the people." Carnegie, Phippsji Co, are putting in au tomatic stokers under a pair of boilers at their Thirty-third street mill, to accom plish a saving in fuel. It will burn slack, give good combustion, and by burning its own gas accomplish a great lessening in the volume of smoke, probably 75 per cent. The firm has had practical experience with these stokers for a j ear aud a half at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works. One of the officials of the company said yesterday: "I agree with Mr. Metcalf that smoke preventers can't be used on iron furnaces and the reasons given by him are those well known to many familiar with the iron manufacturing business. But there is no reason why consumers or preventers can not be used under boilers generally and this city should lose no time in passing a law to .com pel their use. It is a duty she owes her business men. and the people generally. " Excellent Beinlts Obtained. Lloyd & Sons have a device which is do ing excellent work, under the boilers at their iron mill, consuming about 90 percent of the smoke or gases. General Manager Tyler had this to say about it: '"Our system is one invented by ourselves. We first put it into use about the middle of December, and it has been doing good and constant tervice ever since. It consists of a large steam pipe, with small jets pro trading out from it and running into the -. . ,. , ... vux fire pits. Through this pipe" a heavy "vol ume of steam , is constantly being poured into the fire and as it.strikes the combusti bles it drives them down and they pass oft "in what I call water gas. "The only time there .is any smoke is when the door of the furnace is opened and the cold air is allowed to strike the flames. As soon as the door is closed again the steam gets in its work and the smoke dis appears." A Bis Percentage Consumed. The Marshall-Kennedy Flouring Com pany was visited and its system was seen. The company is high in its praise, and say it does away with at least three-fourths of the smoke. . Their system is different from the one used at Lloyd's. It is an automatic stoker arrangement. The coal is put in through a Pmagazine and by means of an automatic arrangement the fuel is kept slowly moving down to what is known as the . coking bar, where it is coked before it reaches the furnace. To prevent smoke while the coking process is in progress, a current of hot air is kept pour ing in on the coal. The air is hot enough to ignite the gases aud the only time any of it escapes is. when the door is thrown open and the cold air rushes in. This same system is being used by the Oliver-Eoberts Wire Company, and it is giving satisfaction. The company say it costs a little more in the way of fuel, but the good result far exceeds the cost. The Spang Steel and Iron Company have anof her system which is giving good satis faction. It consumes about 90 per cent of the gases. At the West Penn Hospital and at the Duqucsne Theater apparatus similar to that at Danziger's is in use and giving perfect satisfaction not only in saving fuel but re ducing smoke about 75 per cent The cost in each case was 600 for a battery of two boilers. A More General Kxpresslon Desired. A member of the Engineers' Society last evening sent the following communication to Tim Dispatch: Considering the importance of the smoke question to tho city of Pittsburg, and from tuc evident mteicst felt bv tne community in this question, as shown by the large at tendance at ths meeting of the Engineers' Society of Western Pennsylvania on Tues day evening, I should like, with your per mission, to obtain a fuller expiession of opinion from onr members than we weie able to obtain at that meeting, owing to the short time for discussion after the paper was read, and fiom the fact that the greater part of that short time was occupied by a gentle man from Chicago in demonstrating the light of Chicago, m the person of one of Its citizens, to the title of the "Windy City." Mr. lletcalr, though rather ridiculing the objection to smoke, still thought it could anB should he greatly reduced, showing at the same time in u well balanced paper wlieio it is impossible to entnely uvoid smoke and, as every engineer and capable mill manager knows, such cases occu'- upou adding fresh fuel to .a boiler furnace of the oidinaiy constructing; in the finishing process of puddling, and in the operation ot a heating furnace. In all these c:ies, at least, some smoke will be formed, as the flame must, of necessity, in the two latter cases be a reducing' flame, .that is to sav, it must have an excess of caibon over oxygen, in order to pievent oxidation, or "burning"' of the iron, or steel. To say that heating on puddling lumaces must not emit smoke would be equivalent to saying they must cease to exist, which no one in Pitts- burg is likely to advocate. But as I under stand it, the advocates of reform m this matter neither ask nor expect anything of the kind, but what they do uskis that Preventable Smoke Be Prevented. Amongst "preventable" cases might be classed tho whole of the steam boilers used for heating and elevator service In our business blocks after the fires are Well un der way in tne morning. In addition to these tho manufacturing concerns in the city, who use fuel for no other purpose, practically, than the generation of steam, such as machino shops, sawmills, etc., and where the work is nearly constant. Many plants, too, could be operated with the pro duction of much less smoke where the work is intermittent, If tne furnaces were proper ly fitted to consume the smoke. It is a matter of practical demonstration that in such cases as these mechanical stokers and improved methods of constitut ing boiler furnaces will not only reduce the production of smoke to a minimum, but will pay for themselves in a short time, owing to the faying ot fuel effected by their use. Air. Koch's remarks as to the absence of smoke in liirminguam, England, would lead one to suppose that the above industry bad been killed by the law s for the prevention' ofsmoke. Of course, Mr. Koch didn't mean to imply this, thongh the uninitiated might pasily be led to infer so from his remarks. As a matter of fact, Birmingham never was an iron manufacturing town; always draw ing its supplies of iron from the neighboring iron uisincis oi oonm oiauorusmre ana I East rv-oicestershire. Birmingham has al-L iron uistricts oi sontn stauorasnire ana w ays been a city of factories tor the manu facture of finished products In all kinds of metal, and to-day finds employment lor jnore men, and turns out a larger quantity of manufactured articles than ever before, while at the same time it remains a healthy and desirable residential town. THE EEP0ET DISCREDITED. Bamori That the Beading Combination Has teased the B. & O. ltoad. It was reported on the streets yesterday that the recent Heading combination had secured a lease on the Baltimore and Ohio and New York and .New England roads. The rumors could not be verified here. President Mayer, of the Baltimore and Ohio road, was expected last evening, but he did not come. The Baltimore and Ohio has had a traffic arrangement With the Reading road from Philadelphia to New York and Boston for several years. Local Baltimore and Ohio officials think that this agreement has been confounded with a lease of the system, which is quite another thing. The report is not credited by railroad men in Pittsburg. The argument is made" that the Baltimore and Ohio people would hardly make such strenuous efforts to raise 5,000,000 to improve the Pittsburg & Western, and make a shorter main line to Chicago, and then when the money is assured turn the road over to a new combination. The Le high road was caught in the deal, because A. J. Drexel had advanced considerable money to the company for improvements, and he was afraid he wouldn't get it back. President Newell, of the Lake Erie road, wras in the city yesterday on one of his reg ular visits. The old gentleman sometimes turns the general office upside down, but everything was satisfactory on this trip. He returned to Cle eland in his special car last evening. Was Harnngalcg KeTcsies. Nellie Kussell was arrested at-Fifth ave nue and Wood street about 11 o'clock last night, while engagedv in a wordy argument with a number of newsboys. Officer O'Hara came along, and concluded her language was not calculated to convert the arabs, so he sent her to Central police station on a charge of disorderly conduct. Miss Kussell is a fine-looking woman, says she resides in Allegheny and is 28 years of age. She is the woman who Sued the managers ot the Duquesne Theater a few days ago for 20, 000 damages for putting her out of the the ater on the night of February 3. Her attor neys are Wise & Miner. Drowned In a Tub of Water. Squire McCali, of Tarentum, sent a mes sige to Coroner McDowell last night that a young woman of that place, Mary Brown, single and aged 25 years, had been drowned in a tub of water. She fell into it while in a fit. ' - GOOD ADVERTISING. THE DISPATCH'S adlets gained 1,778 In two weeks ending February 13tb.

THE DISPATCH Is the popular medium NOT OUT' FOR J. C. 0'Donnell Declines to Be a Candi date, bnt Declares for a PERMANENT ORGANIZATION NOW. Signs That the.Indepandent Spirit Will Not He Allowed to Die. AFTERMATH OF THE LOCAL ELECTION The independent voters of Pittsburg will organize permanently and continue the fight against the City Hall administration. The victories scored by the independents in the Sixth, Sixteenth, Twentieth and other wards of the city have greatly encouraged the municipal reformers, and from all over the city come assurances that the time has arrived for an organized effort on the part of the independents. The victory of J. C. O'Donnell over the opposition of the ad ministration and all its forces was satisfac tion enough for the independents outside of any other victories won on Tuesday. Mr. O'Donnell was unable to leave his home yesterday. He was in robust health however, and he would have been about his business as usual, had not a flood of con gratulations kept him within doors. Letters, telephone messages and telegrams came in from every part of the city. Over 100 let ters of congratulation were received during the day. "Will the independent voters of Pittsburg organize permanently?" was asked Mr. O'Donnell The Strnjrslo Will Be Continued. "They will," he answered, promptly. 'And they certainly should," he continued. "Now after the election is over and the re sults are known it seems idle to argue in favor of a reform movement in this city. But the burning need for reform exists now just as much as it existed before Tues day's battle. No man who values his repu tation or who has even a remote re gard for the truth will say that our city affairs are not recklessly and extrava gantly managed by those in authority now. The people's money is distributed without regard for the citizens' interest, and the city's pay rolls are crowded with names of men who do not render adequate service for the money they receive from the people through the city treasury. "No outsider is allowed even a glance at the city's accounts, aud no one save those in authority are supposed to know how much money is spent annually or what it is spent for. The fact that the election is over does not change these conditions, and while they exist the need of reform exists. A reform in the affairs of Pittsburg can ordy be brought about by changing the system of our government, and ' placing new and clean men at the head of the various depart ments. Need of s Permanent Organization. "Therefore," Mr. O'Donnell went on, "the need for a permanent organization of the independent voters of Pittsburg is ap parent. Extravagance to be followed by increased and exorbitant valuations and burdensome taxation can be relieved only by the independents acting together in forc ing the reforms that are so badly needed. The congratulations I have received to-day have convinced me that the time is ripe for such organization. I nave letters herefrom everj' part of the city, and from many of the leading business men. They all talk of organizing permanently, and thev all offer to go any length to bring about tne needed reforms in 'the management of the city's affairs. 'Tor my part I am ready and willing to meet with a committee (of citizens at any time with a view to organizing perman ently. I talked freely on the subject with my friends who called on me to-day and while all join with me in the belief that an organization of the Independents should be effected at once for future contests they also agreed with 'me that thlf'dangeris in get ting into the movemenfmen who have poli tical asperations and who are ready and willing to go into any combination or or ganization that will insure them political preferment. 1 will have nothing to do with 1 :: i, ; . 1.....4. n7 rSlioa that is not for the best interests 01 tne wnoie people, ana in my judgment the people's interests cannot be best served by combinations, politicians or hungry place hunters." "Will you be a candidate for Mayor of Pittsburg?" was asked. 'ot a Candidate for Mayor. "No, sir," he answered with some em phasis, "I am not a candidate for any office. I have been spoken of as a candidate for mayor, but I assure you now, positively and sincerely that I would not take the mayor alty nomination if it were tendered me. I ean best serve the people where I am, and under no condition can I be induced to be a candidate for any other place. I have my own legitimate business, which is profitable and agreeable, and I have no disposition to leave it for any office the people of Pittsburg can give me. I am deeply in earnest in the citizens' movement against the extravagant management or our; city s affairs. I hope to see a permanent organization of the citizens for that purpose and I will go into such a a&ht without hope of reward or without'ambition for political place. If the others will go into the organization on the same footing the power of the city ad ministration will be thoroughly broken at the next councilmanic election." M. J. Malonc, who led the citizens' movement in the Sixth ward, where Fin nerty, the Citizens' candidate for Common Council, was successful, is now at work to secure a permanent organization of the in dependent voters of Pitfsburg. Thinks the People Are Waking Up. He said last night that the taxpayers and 'voters of the city are thoroughly aroused now, and that they are alive to the fact that relief would come to them only through their, own efforts. "I have talked to many people to-day," said Mr. Malone, "and I find that the independent,or citizens', spirit is abroad in the city. I also find a general clamoring for a permanent organiza tion. All of those with whom I consulted J express gratification at the showing made by the citizens at the polls on Tuesday. They are all greatly encouraged, and they will not be cgntent until a permanent or ganization has been formed and the work begun in the last contest is'carried to a suc cessful issue aud some reforms in the man agement of our city's affairs are brought about "The citizens' movemen,t," Mr. Malone went on, "is in no -f a political one. There are no aspiring politicians in it. It is an organization of taxpayers and renters, and lrom now on they will, in my' opinion, hold the balance of power." THE FINAL FIGURES. IJltlo Chance From the Results as An nounced Yesterday Mornlnc Rafferty Apparently Elected in the Eizth Con nelly a Tlctor. Late election returns make very little change in the councilmanic results. In the Twenty-fourth ward what was at first sup posed 'to be a close figbt between Mark Donnelly, Eepublican,and John End, Dem ocrat, for Common Council, resulted in a victory for Donnelly by a majority of 60, the vote being: Donnelly, ,363; End, 303. The closest fight was in the Thirty-third ward. Thomas Perry, Kepublican, and J. Iu Laughran, Democrat, for Select Council. The return sheets show a tie vote. This is the fight in which Father McTighe took Buch . an active interest. A peculiar case arises n this contest When four votes had been cast the Jndge'of Election reniem-t bered he had forgotten to number them. So when the fifth vote was cast h'e num bered it fire. All the ballots were counted, including the four first unnumbered; and 97 for .each candidate was the result. 'The per sons who voted Aht first four votes are known and were sworn as to how-thej voted. Should these ballots be cast out it will give Mr. Laughran two of a majority. It is also certain that an effort will be made by Laughran's friends to have the four votes thrown out." 1 In the Sixth ward aldcrmanic fight Eaf ferty won by three votes, the total being Rafferty 513, Kennedy 510. Great interest centered in this fight and that there will be, a contest is certain. The returns from the Second precinct, which gave Rafferty a majority of H, were the last to come' in. This caused a great deal of loud talk from tne inenas ot nennedy and the fight is by no means over. In the fight between Hynd rqan and TCrep3 for Aldermau, the former won by 8(5 votes. The vote was Hyndman, 901; Kreps, 815. RESULTS IN BOROUGHS. The "Returns From the Coming Cities of Alletrheny Conn ty Tho Names or the Winners and the Xuuil);r or Votes They Sceured.
