PICKED UP BY THE WAY. THINGS SEEN AND HEARD IN THE TOWN AND VICINITY. Mutters of a laical Nature Commented Vpon and Placed llefore the Headers of the "Tribune" In Large Letters—Some Paragraphs May Interest You. One day this week I had a long talk with a Democrat from the upper end of the county, and the conversation naturally turned upon the probable make-up of the ticket that will be nominated at the county seat on the 22d inst. I! asked him what was his opin ion of the chances of several of the candidates, and after assuring me that he was in 110 j wise interested in any of the aspirants for honors, he said he would give me what he thought will very likely be the ticket. He has been pretty well over the county lately, as his business calls him to all parts, and therefore he is given opportunities to make a careful estimate of the work the convention in all 'probabil ity will do. Here is his expectation of the composition of the next Democratic county ticket: Controller—S. W. Boyd. Treasurer—W. M. Alexan der. Register—John J. Brislin. Commissioners—Ed. Burke, John Helferty. "This is not my choice as a sure winning ticket," said my prophetical friend, "but from what I can gather I think the men I have named, with possi bly one exception, will be the successful candidates. There may be a slate fixed up in the courthouse somewhat different from this, but if so is has been kept in a dark corner yet." I aske'cl him if Boyd would not be opposed strongly in some quarters on account of his frequent tilts with several of the influential politicians. He acknowledged that the Wilkes-Barre editor will have to make a steady fight, espe cially as his opponent, M. A. Quinn, of Plains, is a popular young man, but he felt certain that Boyd had the inside track and would win. His reason for regarding Alexander as a winner against Roger McGarry in the treasurership battle was based upon nationality. He says it is one of the offices which invariably goes by "turns" to the leading ele ments of the party, and, though a friend of McGarry, he would not consider it good politics to nominate him for treasurer this year. When I mentioned that there were faint rumors of a scheme to "freeze out" Brislin from a place on the ticket he smiled in a most significant manner. "Brislin," he said, "will hold his own in any part of the county. If there is one can didate who will go into that convention with a following strong enough to control the field he is the man. The little politicians who may be making plots and combinations to keep Democrats off the ticket will be begging Brislin's support when the delegates are elected. Mark my words on that point." I tried to get some informa tion from him upon the com missioner question, and after a short thinking spell said he could not give me any definite reasons for prophesizing Burke and Helferty as the winners. "Perhaps," he said, "I am mis taken on these candidates. I know Dullard is going to sur prise some people with his strength, and Tom McGraw is not sleeping, as many suppose. However, the nominations will depend to a great extent upon the sort of a campaign the can didates will conduct in their efforts to obtain delegates. If they unnecessarily antagonize men who are looking for other offices they should not expect to have their hopes encour aged at the convention by the friends of those whom they are now trying to defeat." I thought that a sensible remark and one which some of the can didates for commisioner might ponder upon with profit to themselves. Locally, politics have not yet reached the point termed hy the newspapers as "red-hot." £here is enough skirmishing for votes, however, to keep the average Democrat from for getting that he is wanted on the afternoon of August 19 to cast his vote at the delegate election. The mention of the date of the delegate election, the 19th inst., reminds me that several Democrats who are in terested in politics and who would also like to attend the firemen's excursion were in a quandary until the excursion date was changed. It might have made some difference in several of the districts of this part if both came off the same day. Those who were devis ing ways and means to go to Oneida and then get home in time to vote are breathing easier—so are some of the can didates for delegates. I called at the Hazleton hos pital yesterday and was more than surprised to find Joseph Gallagher, of 'Ridge street, there. Mr. Gallagher was taken to Laurytown a few weeks ago on account of a temporary derangement of the mind and the miners' hospital would be about the last place a person would think of meet ing him. Nevertheless, he was there, and if the authorities of the Laurytown asylum can send people about in this man ner without notifying their relatives it is about time there were some amendments made to the poor laws. Mr. Gallagher, a few -even ings before he was taken to Laurytown, had one of his hands badly cut by striking it against a window pane. The injured member was dressed by a physician of town, and nothing more was heard of it until Tuesday, when he was taken to the hospital and had one of the fingeFs amputated. It is very seldom that a cut of this kind will cause the loss of a finger by blood poisoning if properly cared for, .and it ap pears very much, in this case, as if there is a deep yellow lining 011 the cloud that hovers over the insane department of the institution at Laurytown.

The Chicago fire department, whose history furnishes many Instances of level, thoughtful courage, has no mem ber more widely known than Chief of Battalion Edward W. Murphy In a department conspicuous for individual courage Murphy is noted for his splendid heroism. 110 is said to have saved more people from death by fire than any other man in America, lie has been mentioned honorably for feats of daring in eight general orders written by a man who is seldom lavish of praise—the present chief of the Chi cago fire department. He was the first winner of the Lambert Tree medal, which is given every year as a reward for the most conspicuously courageous feat undertaken by a Chicago fireman. Except for the rule that prevents a man from taking the medal twice he might have had a new decoration every year, for a year has seldom passed since the fund was created that has not been raarkod by the perform ance of some fine deed by this bravo man. The writer saw him one night during a fire in Warren avenue go into a blazing frame house when the EDWARD W. MURT'IIY. chances seemed almost twenty to ono that ho would be burned or suffocated. A woman had said that her two babies were in the burning building. Murphy groped about on the floor, crawling from room to room until ho found tlio bodies of the children. He was very nearly killed himself, but when, half dead, he was pulled through the win dow by two of his men he held the bodies in his arras. The daring of the man has been so extraordinary that it has given ground for jealousy in the department and firemen have been heard to complain that when lives were to be saved Murphy gave no ono else a chance, but always insisted on being first in the burning building. He is an American by birth, and he went on the force in 1875. In 1870 ho was appointed lieutenant and in 1880 captain. Chief Swenie promoted him to an assistant marshalship in Septem ber, 1885, giving him command of the Fifth battalion. Later ho was trans ferred first to the Twelfth battalion and then to the Fourteenth. It was on account of his energy and fearless ness of danger—a valuable quality in a x>lace built as the exposition is built —that he was given charge of the fair department when Chief Sweule took it out of the hands of Mr. Burnham. His career in Jackson park has been brilliant. Marshal Murphy has been hurt dangerously twice, both accidents happening while he was on his way to a fire. PERSONALITIES.
