man of the towns thiough this sec

will bp given the nomination In the
upper wards. The only other ofllces
over which there Is likely to bo any
stir is two common councllmen from
the Third, nnd poor director from the
Fourth. It seems probable that John
J. Nealon will 1ms renominated for
council nnd that Hon. Thomns Mooney
will be the other nominee, if he la
willing to nccept. James Hurke Is the
only one mentioned for tho nomina
tion for poor director to succeed A. F.
Cook. Tho convention will, no doubt,
be largely nttended.
A Slight Wreck.
Tho Ontario nnd Western yarJ,
north of the city, was the scene of a
slight wreck Sunday shortly after 10
o'clock. A coal car had Jumped the
track on a snitch where the train had
been pushed for the north-bound, .pas.
sengcr train to pass. The car was
pulled to one side, but another coal
train, south-bound, ran Into It, tho
derailed car being too closo to tho
trucks. One car was totally demol
ished and a dozen others wore badly
damaged. No one was hurt.
A Coasting Accident.
James, the young son of Mr. nnd Mrs.
Richard Kllpatrlck.of Wyoming street,

wns coming down with the front side
of his anatomy glued to the top of the
sled, when a big stone neglected to get
out of his course and he wns deposited
with celerity on the side of his head
and shoulders in a ditch. He Is now
comfortably killing time In the house
until his cuts heal over.
A Queer Vehicle.
In tho midst of tho driving snow
storm last evening, Joseph Gllmartln
excited attention and comment on
Main street by a queer combination
bicycle, which he pushed through the
snow In good style. The iear of the
rig wns equipped with a regulation bi
cycle wheel, with chain, pedals, etc.,
which the front hnd a runner attach
ment clamped to the front foiks. The
unique bicycle seemed a geiat success.
No Quorum.
Common council was to have mot In
regular session last night, but only six
members had shown up by 9 o'clock,
and this being one too few for a quo
rum, no meeting could be held. Secre
tary Kvnns, of the board of health,
has his ropoit for the year 1900 ready,
but It was not submitted. Chaltman
Kennedy will probably call n meeting
for some night Inter In tho week.
