Common Councilman Robert Robin
son, of the Eleventh ward, stated to
a Tribune reporter last evening that he
will be a candidate for the office of se

ed common councilman last spring
without opposition, and has a year yet
to serve. If he gets the nomination of
his party for select council, he intends
to resign from the common branch im
mediately after the caucus In order to
give sufficient time to Mayor Connell
to Issue a proclamation for a special
election to fill the unexpired term, and
so that the election may be held on
the regular February election day,
without the expense that would be In
volved by holding an election after that.
In the Twelfth ward the term of
Morgan Sweeney expires the coming
spring. He will be opposed for re-election
by Patrick J. Messett, the well
known street car conductor. In the

will be either D. W. Vaughan or Ed
win Frable.

contest will be waged. There are no
less than a doien after Common Coun
cilman Daniel P. Battle's seat. Mr.
Battle wants another term and seems
to be strong enough to get It For the
office of school conroller John Gibbons,
Martin Cannon and Joseph Hannlck
are announced. W. O. O'Malley, the
present controller, will not be a candi
date under any circumstances, he says.
Died Yestorday Morning.
Death ended the excruciating suffer
ings of the young son of Anthony Mc
Glnley, of Cedar avenue, yesterday
morning. The little fellow was con
scious until a few minutes before he
died, and realized that his burns were
too serloues for him to recover. He was
troubled lest the boys who were play
ing with him might be blamed for the
calamity that befell him. Throughout
his sufferings he was very heroic. The
arrangements for the funeral have not
yet been completed.
An Exciting Visit.
Mike Motswlck, of South Washing
ton avenue, called to spend an hour or
so with his brother Anthony, of Pros

from a pall that made many excursions
to a neighboring dispensary. He was
found on Pittston avenue looking for a
doctor to sew up a wound made on his
head with an ax, and he also wanted a
policeman to arrest his brother.
