Stuck to His Post Despite Scalding
) Steam That Filled Cab.
Pittsburg, ug. 30. Israel Brandt
by his bravery probably saved the
lives of scores nf sleeping passengers
on the Chicago & Pittsburg express
on the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chi
cago raili-oad here. He may lose his
life as a result of fidelity.
A stearn cap inside the enplne cab
blew off as he triedjo check his train
at the Allegheny station, and though
the scalding steam filled this cab he
stuck by his post until the damage
was repaired enough to permit him to
stop the train. Then he fell from the
window and broke his leg. The upper
part of his body is badly scalded.
Had Brandt not remained at hib
post the train would likely have In
creased In speed enough to leave the
river bridge on a curve or to crash

'orrrei President ot Amalgamated

tereM ot Candidate In Wageearner.
ISpccial Correspondence.)
Pittsburg, Aug. 30.
Although the gubernatorial cam
paign in Pennsylvania has hardly got
leu well under way, one fact has been
demonstrated, and that Is that John
Kinley Tener, the Republican nominee
ror governor, is going to be one of the
most popular candidates with the
worklngnieu that ever ran on a state
ticket
This Is not surprising to those fa
miliar with his record and who havo
followed his course both in private
and public life.
His whole history Is that of a man
who has worked hard himself and
who Is In full sympathy with labot
by reason of his associations with th
wage earners from his boyhood days.
Any one who, like Mr. Tener, had to
begin at the very bottom of life's lad
der and depend upon his own energy
and rssources to win success can ap
preciate his concern for the welfare
of his fellow men, especially those who
make up the great industrial army of
this state and nation.
"From Mill Boy to Governor."
From Mill Boy to Governor" Is a
Blogan already heard among the en
thusiastic admirers of a former worker
In one of the great steel plants of
western Pennsylvania, and as the can
vass shall progress and the great body
of the voters shall become more Inti
mately acquainted with the career and
the policies of the Republican nomi
nee for governor, it is prelicted that
he will grow In popularity and
strength with the Inevitable result
an overwhelming victory at the polls
on Nov. 8.
An idea of the enthusiasm with
which the nomination of Mr. Tener Is
being received and of the reasons for
the Interest shown in his candidacy
by representatives of organized labor,
may be had from a chat with M. M.
Garland, a former president of the
Amalgamated iron and Steel Workers,
who has knowu Mr. Tner for many
years.
Appreciation of a Co Worker.
"John K. Tener Is essentially a self
made man." said Mr. Garland. "He hai
ever been Interested In the cause of
the worklngman. and today classes
among his v-ry best friends men who
have been and are high in the ranks
of labor organizations.
"Tener's first occupation was as nn
errand hoy and then as assistant ship
ping clerk st the mill of Lewis, Ollvpr
& Phillips. South Side, Pittsburg. He
was then ndvspced to pay roll clerk.
His associates were the men of the
mills, snd It was while he was em
ployed st the plant of the Olivprs. hi
South Tenth street, he formed very
close friendships with Miles P. Hum
phreys, who had lust retired as prH
dent of the An algamateii linn and
Steel Workers, then In charge of the
puddling and muck Iron de'pirtnwnts;
the late William Welhe. then pud
dler; "Jack" linvis, u well known boss
roller, and others who were high In
labor circles.
Once Ran a Locomotive.
"Tener spent most of his spare time
In the mills Bnd mill yards, and as a
rpsult he obtained a thorough knowl
edge of the practical end of the hitsl
ness H soon mastered locomotive
engineering and was often found on
the engines in and about (lie plant
and when a regular engineer was otl
duty on account of sickness lie woud
take Ills place for weik'it a time.
"When Tener left Hie industrial
field to take up base ball he was
firm believer In organization, and dur
Ing the closing months of IS Mi he
with several other base ball plavers,
Joined in a movement which resulted
In the Brotherhood of Base Ball Play
ers, and which had for Us object the
betterment of the conditions then Im
posed upon the players, and the extent
ot this move has liar Its effect ever
since.
"Tener became a resident ot Char-
lerol at Its Inception, and Is known to
nearly every man, woman and child 'ri
that town, and as the men pa by
they address him ns 'John.' and h In
turn salute? them as 'Hello. Bill.' or
'How ore you, Sam?" as the case
may be
As a Friend of Labor.
"For several years he was engaged
In the glass business nt Burkhannnn.
West Virginia, where only union men
were employed, and In all business In
which he has been engaged or has
had a controlling Interest, the very
highest wages have been paid. At thf
beginning of the strike at the Mac
heth-Evans glass factory at Charlerol.
the men appealed to Ten - and he
was Instrumental In securing a con
ference between representatives ot the
workmen nnd thelt employers Hf
was again called upon during a strike
at the works of the Charlerol Coal
company to intercede In behrlf nf the
miners, and In this he was successful
In assisting In an agreement satlsfae
tory to hoth sides and winning the
praise of the wage camera.
"Tener was sent to congress with
the unanimous endorsement of the la
bor organizations In the Twenty fourth
llstrict. he having declared for at
eight-hour law. At the second session
of the Sixty first congress he Intro
duced a resolution calling for an In
restlgation of labor condition It. thi

"Tener'p political ?nemles have an
successfully Mirteavored to make po
lltical capita! out ot th story that
when the Hughes Injunction amend
mcnt wat before the house of repre
entiitivet he wa recorded as 'not
voting.' hut they failed to add that at
that tlmt he waf paired with Repre
tientatlvp Tayloi. a Democrat, ot Ala
bama, whr. was absent from Wash
Ington 03 will be shown on page 9224
of the Congressional Record, and it
would hav- been the height of dls
courtesy and dishonesty to have acted
otherwise
"While Tener has heen liberal to
all loal charities his name has al
ways been found among the contribu
tors to the funds for the widows and
children of the unfortunate men killed
It. the mines and factories, and more
than one home hns heen brightened as

"I predict his election hy one of the

HOSTILE ARMY IN PARIS
(Teas Invade the City Regardless ot
Insect Powders.
Paris, Aug. A flea epidemic
which Just now makes certain quar
ters of Paris almost uninhabitable
comes as an unlooked for consequence
of last winter's floods.
The houses which suffer most are
those which were inundated In Febru
ary. Large and vigorous fleas emerge
from the cellars, and In serled bands
hundreds of thousands strong, invade
flats and apartments, regardless of In
sect powders and other remedies.
Nothing like this epidemic has ever
been recorded here. These particular
fleas have been a persistence almost
tqual to that of the white ants of
Africa. Nothing stops them except
fire or streams of boiling water.
The arrondiss ments of Paris bor
dering on the Seine, also Pasy, An-
tcuil, Neu'.lly r.nd the low level streets
near the St. Lnzare railroad station.
They have also got Into tramways,
