HOTEL BLAZE. A Kltclicn Itango Onuses Incitement nt the IloteJ Friiney. Shortly before elovon o'clock this morning a lire alarm was sounded from box No. 35, ut tho corner of Main and Coal streets. Tho cause of tho alarm was a little blazo in tho kitchen of tho Hotel Frauey. The employes detected an odor of smoko early in the morning, but wero unable to locate the source r many tho odor becamo so strong that occasioned an alarm and it was decided to call out the II ro department. It was quito evident that tho trouble was caused by tho raugo in the kitchen and tho firemen tore tho wainscoting from the op posite sido of tho wall behind it, but were bullied in their cilorts lu locato tho lire. An exploration of tho cellar under the kitchen was more successful. It was found that a joist of the floor under tho range had caught lire. It had been smouldering for soveral hours.

MASS REPUBLICAN CONVENTION To be Held in Ohio's Capital to Protest Against the Attempt to Defeat Hanna, Who Still Needs Three Votes to Insure Ills He-election. Columbus, O., Jan. 7. Conservative estimates today place the legislative vote of 7; to 70 against Hanna. Th Hanna men, however, claim 71 votes and assurances of the necessary two dditlonal votes, and possibly four more. The opposition Insists that Hanna 111 nover have 70 votes on Joint ballot, and that they have rained two votes since the legislature adjourned over till Monday. Before the chairmanships and other patronage are disposed of, the opposition say, Hanna's vote will he reduced considerably below 70,whlch three short of enough to elect. The opposition to Ilunna consists of the 65 Democratic members and (he following ten Republican members: Itepivsi'ntauves Harry C. Mason and M. P. Hramley of Cuyahoga, T. p. Jones of f-'tark, John 13. Griffith of Union, J. C. Otis of Hamilton, William Scott of I'ulton, Henry II. IleJky of Highland, D. O. Itutan of Carroll and Harrison, James Manuel cl Montgom ery and fc'enator VeiT.on II. Burke o! lrvelund. Included In the list of those support ing Hanna ure Representatives Droste and Lane, silver Hepublk-un fusionists from Cincinnati, who are counted on for Jeptha Garrard, silver Republican. The developments today indicated that Garrard would not only be voted for on the ballots for senator, but he might lead on the llrst ballot If the present efforts to make him the free sliver Republican candidate are successful. ittrrard Is one of the wealthiest men In Cincinnati, and has alwuys been a adlcal silver man. Representative James Joyce, of Guernsey, who Is Included In the iO otes claimed for Hanna, is considered as doubtful. The lla..na men claim that Jones of Stark, Reckey of High lands, Rutan of Carroll and Harrison and Manuel of Montgomery, who are on the list of the opposition, are doubt ful. The "combine" workers were ag gressive until the nast day or two, when they not only had enough votes to defeat Hanna, but had also leached all the doubtful members. The oppo- ltlon Is now on the defensive In keep ing Its majority In line. The contest has settled down to a siege, In which the opposition holds the fort and the Hanna men are charging the bi east works. The talk of Senator Burke being In the doubtful list has about subsided. He was slated for president mo tern, of the senate by the opposition. As lie was not present on Monday to qualify Senator Thaddeus 10. Crumley, Demo crat, was elected president pro tern. It now transpires that Senator Crumley wrote out his resignation before his election, and it is in tho hands of Sen ator Fink, the leader of the Democratic side. Whenever Senator Burke Is ready Senator Fink will present the reslgna Hon of Senator Crumley as president pro tern., and Burke will get the place, So far the opposition to Hanna Is not only holding its men well in line, but It has executed all the plans provided for iirevlous to the caucuses on last Saturday. The opposition managers say that they are having no trouble to hold their men out against Hanna, but admit their difficulty In finding any candidate for whom all tho "bolting" Republicans and the Democratic mem bers will vote. The "bolting" Repub llcans are unanimous In declaring they cannot voie for any Democrat for sen ator. Knough Democratic members to give the malingers trouble and anxiety 'say they do not want to vote for a Republican for senator. The solicitude of the "combine on this Issue Is shown in the following editorial leader In lust evening's Issue of the Democratic Press, the organ of the combined opposition to Senator Hanna: The Democratic members of the Icglslatore now have it In their power to defeat M. A. Hanna for the Benate, and the blame for a failure to do It will rest with them. They can make no satisfactory explanation If they fall, Stupidity in such an emergency as the present Is as Intolerable as guilt. Kvery Republican vote ngulnst nox- well for speaker was cast to show un faltering opposition to Hanna, and lias no other meaning whatever. Let no Democratic member of the legislature suppose that a tlmo will ever arise during tho session when a Democratic candidate for the senate can he elected. "But as these Fornker Republicans stand ready now to unite with the Bryan Democrats to agree upon a Re publican other than Mark Hanna, let no Democratic member hesitate. Let the fusion be ns complete between all who oppose Hanna as It was In oppo sitlon to Boxwell, so that Hanna can be defeated nnd some opponent elected on tha first ballot. This Is the only sure method to outgeneral llnnna.1 A. call was Issued last night by the Republican stale e::ei 'lve committee for a mass convention of Republican to be held In tlila city next Monday afternoon to protest agtlnst the at tcmnt to defeat Senator Hanna. The call says In part: "During the last campaign a few conspirators, pretended Republicans, not giving heed to the lawfully ex pressed will of a vast mnjorlty of thel party, sought in every section of the state to defeat the legislative nominees nf the Republican party. Overwhelmed and defeated by your ballots, they huve since consorted with your enemies for the purpose of defeating your will, sol emnly expressed nt tho ballot box. By these acta they have shown that they do not love the great and boneflclont principles of our party und that the wishes of the people are not to be re carded by them. All that Is dear to ihmvi In neisonul levwuge and spoils."

CONSTABLE SERIOUSLY ACCUSED ! Charges Also Made Against the Burgess. Tho Lamp and Watch Committee is Dlrectod to Investlgate-Charge of Insubordination Against a Water Works Em ploye. An interesting meeting or tho Ilorough Council was held last evening. Charges were made against employes of tho public water works, tho Chief liurgess and some of tho ward constables. The discissions attending the mattors wero of a spirited character and more will probably be heard of the Chief liurgess anil constable a Ilk Irs, as a committee on investigation has been uppoiuUd. Tho Councllmen in attoiulanco at tho meet ing wero Messrs. McGuire, Lally, Coaaley. lioehm, Shoemaker, Straugbn, James, Nels wender, Knglrrt, llrcnuau, Murphy anil Hand. Mr. lioehm, fur the roads and high ways committee, said little work was being dour other thau cutting icu at the street crossings. Mr. James, of tho financo committee, pre sented the following list of names with a recommendation for exoneration from taxes: Mrs. D. It. Reeves, Mrs. Major, Mrs. Cough tin, Mrs. Leach, Mrs. Latham, .Mrs. Iiennic, .Mrs. Heiily, Mrs. George Taylor, Mrs. Mary Campbell. Tho recommendation wasadopted. Mr. Lally recommended .Mrs. Conway for exoneration and the matter was referred to the finance couimitteu. Mr. Jamos also presented a statement on a final audit of ox-Water Superintendent Ilel- tendge's accounts winch showed that $1.M) was duo .Mr. uetturnlgo. An order was diawu for tho amount and tho bond of Mr. iiet tcridge released. Oh motion of Mr. Hochiu the secretary was instructed to notify Tax Collector "Uurke 10 report every month to Council, in accordance with the law. Itwasut this point that Chief liurgess Tuborantso aud asked why it was that Council did not rcquiio tho Justices of the Poaee to tuin ovor tho amount of fines they collect. He was told that tho Justices wero called upou for Mich returns. The) liurgess then said ho Knew ol u case ou Sept. 18th, last, when 11 party paid $1 to Constable Matt Giblou and had no hearing before a Justice, or the liurgess. lie also said he knew uf mother case where .Mr. Giblou got $7 from u man and i.ever turned ii over tu tho borough, uu tho prisoner had no hearing. Mr. Mctiuiie said that, since there had been no charges before eithera Justice or the C'hiet liurgess 111 the cases, ho would like to know the details. The liurgess said there was a casoou Dee. IStli, last, aud another on the 21t, and hu produced a receipt and another paper to show that money had been paid for fines. Mr. MeUuiio then locked boms with the ilurgcs. unit said that binco such matters ad been launched before Council, it would be just us well to go deeper. "Did you re lease a prisoner locked no bv some.lioil v else '" llio liurgess answered : "1 did release a man who was put in by an ex-special poliec- uau who lias been bulldozing tho people. Ho uses his authority through a 'Squire aud e is the most insinting man I know of." "Have you released any prisoneis put in by constables?" 'No, sir ; by Anthony Alex. I don'tthluk that man is capable of being deputized. I wouldn't give him a star." .Mr. .Mctiuire replied that the fact that a man is not sworn in as a special olllcor is no j reason for tho liurgess to realc.iso prisoners Any citizen ran be deputized by a Justice. Ho added that tho liurgess had piesiimed too nucli in releasing prisoners and, from what is heard, tliero was a serious charge against the man the Hurgess released. Mr. Lnglert moved that tho matter bo left n the hands of the lamp and walch com mittee for investigation and to report at the next meeting. Mr. McGuire added an amendment that the Chief liurgess be rcquiied to produce his docket, showing the disposition of all cases which have been before him during the past year, and tho motion as amended was carried. Fire plugs at Turkey Rhn, corner of Main aud Ceutro streets, and corner Jardin und Cherry streets were reported out of order. Mr. Co.ikloy, of the law committee, stated that tho Ilorough Solicitor was attending 10 the lorbert deed matter and had stated that everything would bo nil right. I he officers of Couucil w 010 authorized to renew tho contract for pea coal for the water works w Ith tho P. & It. C. & 1. Co, at 7! cents per ton. Mr. James said a number of tools wero re quired for tho repair of pipes and other parts of tho water plant aud Mr. P. J. Cluary had a set valued at J173.50 which Council coulu buy. I no water committeo was authorized to mako the best bargain and if Mr. Cleary will sell the tools us cheap us they can be had elsewhere, to buy them. Mr. McGuiro made a lengthy statement ro viewing tho predicaments of the borough in being lolt without water on two occasions and said there was evidently dissension be tweeu H10 Superintendent and tho employes of the plant. Ho also charged Kuirlucer Woiuorund l'ireuiau Womer with refiislin: to assist Engineer lirittou and Fireman lloll- mau In making repairs when the last break down occurred; and further charged them with refusiug to make daily repunsto the water superintendent. Ho said something should bo done to make tho parties charged take inoro interest in tho plant. Mr. Coakley echoed tho sentiments of Mr. McGuiro and said It was tho conduct of tho employes that was bringing censure upon the heads of the Councllmen. Superintendent Stout slid Fireman Womer went oil' hunting half u day instead ut' te muiniug nt his post. Ho also said that When called to account for not making dally re ports Womer declared that tho superinten dent was not his boss. Mr. Kuglert was lu favor of taking decisive action and thought the .Superintendent should bo given full control over tho plant with power to discharge men who insub ordinate On discussion it was found that tu lake that power out of tho water committee's hand It would bo necessary to amend the ordinance, embracing tho rules for the government of the plant. This turned the Council's attention to the water cummittoo and it was told that it should deal with the employes as their conduct required, Mr. James said '.hat, so far as he know, tho employes at tho plant wero doing their work well aud when ho visited tho pumplug station he found It clean ami lu good condltiou. Superintendent Stout then arose und stated that Fireman Womer was not a suitable nui to have nt the station as a fireman, and ti.t, it would be wiso to lay htm off.
