ADDITIONAL FIREMEN'S RELIEF OFFICERS In the factional fight for control of the Firemen's Relief association the following officers were elected Saturday night for tho ensuing year. President, John M. Jones; vice president, Reese Llewellyn; secretary, Joseph Gibbons; treasurer, Thomas Newcomb. The delegates in attendance were: William Martin, Ferdinand Kuachell and William Miller, of the Eagles; M. J.

Sullivan, John Walsh and James Price of the Niagaras, and chief of the fire department, Emil Weber. A year ago some factional strife arose at the election and two sets of officers were elected. It was rumored that the turning over of the money to one set. of officers would be taken into court, but according to rumor yesterday, the old officers, who very successfully handled the affairs of the association, do not want to have any trouble and will likely turn over all books and papers. The sum of money amounts to about $14,000.

John H. Mullin was president and Cha rles B. Smith was thet rea surer, and William Earley secretary. The relief pays to firemen injured in a fire, a day during his idleness, and $100 In case of death. The fund earns a good rate of interest, having been well Invested, and the appropriation received from the State has' helped swell the sum.
