The committee on revenue is to hold a meeting late tnis afternoon and Controller Larkiii said ha wouid be present. The Bigelow ring crowd in the borough of est Homestead went Into the Republican primaries on Saturday for a county committeeman and exhibited their weakness. William CJ, Morgan, the straight Republican candidate, had 132 votes. J. Morton, the Bigelow candidate, received Zi votes.

Borough Clerk Ijowry was also a candidate and was given 23 votes. It is reported on excellent authority today that Clerk of Courts F. X. Barr will not be given the fusion nomination for register of wills by the bosses, but will probably be renominated for clerk of courts. The bosses' plans, as at present drawn, call for the usual small number of the fusion nominations for the Democrats, notwithstanding the fact that they constitute the bulk of the fusion strength.

County Commissioner James A. Clark -said thfs morning that opposition would be put up to all the "old line Republicans" and has to smile himself when remiaded that he is jt candidate for a fourth term as commissioner. S. A. Steele, president of WTlkinsburg ceuncil, is a candidate for the vacancy on the board of commissioners.

DEATH RECORD John Battles. John Battles, formerly superintendent of the bureau of highways and sewers, and one of the most prominent Republicans in the Twenty-third ward, died at his home, No. 161 Kaecher avenue, yesterday afternoon, of heart failure. He has been ailing for many motnhs and for the last five weeks was unable to keep to his bed, being troubled with asthma, and for the past three months he was unable to leave the house. Mr.

Battles was born June 24, 1853, In Mt. Savage, and was the son of John and Ann Battles. His parents moved to Pittsburg while he was still, young and settled in Pitt township, or what Is now known as the Fourteenth ward. He received his early education at the Pitt township school. Later his parents moved to Peebels township, which is now known as the Twenty-third ward.

About 1S73 he left home and joined Company CJ, Fourth United States cavalry, and fought under Cieneral Custer, but was fortunate to escape taking part in the fatal battle of the Little Big Horn, in which General Custer and his soldiers were massacred. Mr. Rattles, however, took part in many other conflicts with hostile Cheyenne Indians at Turkey Springs, Indian Territory; Red Hills. Indian Territory, and Creek, and Woman's Fork, Kan. In all of these engagements he fought without being wounded.

For the gallantry which he displayed he wps made a corporal and in September, 179, was honetrably discharged from service. Upon his return home Mr. Battles secured a position of a. roller in the Elba iron and steel mill at Frankstown, and worked there until 1S1'2. While thus eng-gaged he became actively interested in politics in the Twenty-third ward and was elected and served in Common Council from 1SS7 to 1S01.

In 184 he came into prominence for the activity he displayed in booming James G. Itlalne for the Republican nomination for I'resident. In Mr. Uattles was appointed as sistant superintendent of the bureau of highways and sewers by Director E. M.

Bigelow. and had charge of. the Oakland and ltazelwood districts. In IP) he wa appointed superintendent of the bureau by Director George W. Wilson, but the "ripper" bill of lvH'l forced him out of Office.

He was reappointed superintendent when J. O. Brown was appointed recorder, and held the position until Mr. Brown's term ended in lUOil. He then accepted an offer as superintendent of the Keystone Sand ft Supply of Mc-Keesport.

He did not keep this position long, as he was suffering from an affection of the heart an had to abandon all active work. Pnrlng the session of tne legislature of Mr. Battles oc cupied "the position ot assistant sergeant at arms of the State Senate at Harrls-burg. Mr. Battles married Miss Margaret Johns, of this city, in 152.

and she died about seven years ago. Besides Ms aged mother. Mrs. Ann Battles, of Steuben-viU. he rs survived by five sons: Robert Howard 1, John, James and Charles Battles, and one daughter, Gladvs Battles, all at home.

Two brothers. Patrick Battles, of Steubenville, and Michael Battles, of St. Louis. and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Taylor, of Steubenvill.

and Mrs. Ann Camp-be'iU ot Pittsburg, also survive. James P. rarVer. Jams Perry Parker, son of James Wilson Parker and BHzabeth Vandiford Parker, and one of the best-known officials of the Philadelphia Company, died at his home in Mt.

Vernon street yesterday morning. He was a member of on of a wellknown family, having descended from the renowned Parkers of Kngland. He wns born at Parker. March 22. He was graduated from thfl Callensbtirg Institute in 1S71.

and from the Wallace School of Music fn 173. At an early, age he was engaged in the oil business, having had his cm producing wells at 1 years of age. He had studied the oil business scientifically, and his advice was sought far and near by the officials of the different oil companies. He was the inventor of the famous Parker valve, which has been so advantageous In helping the production of oil wells. He was an active worker in the church, and wherever possible established Sabbath schools throughout the districts where he was employed in West Virginia.

The city of Parker was named for his grandfather, Jrtdge Parker, who owned almost the enthcity. In 1S74 Mr. Parker was married to Alice Margaret MacNTttt. To this union were born five children. Ira.

The iice of the mealing is iing kep; secret In order to prevent from t-t-side suurcea. T'Ue Orpans, in wards, have had the ixuertenu of the cily administration to take possession of meetings through of puyrollers.

W. H. Stevenson, the chairman of th. central committee, when asked today the object of the meeting, said: i do not care to pr5ss n-V personal opinion as I do not know what the members the committee may want to do. They will probaoly decide on whether they thould become active In the county campaign and whether.

"That attempt of the administration to take the auditor away from tlie controller and place him under tlie mayor, wrs about the moxt remarkable thing T. ever heard of." Mr. Stevenson said this morning. was certainly a nice game, and 1 do not think theiplan adopted will prove any better. I have not the slightest notion thnt the administration has any idea of increasing receipts from corporations.

The nlan of Increasing the salary of the city auditor and instructing him to make investigation of claims against corporations and submit reports to the mayor means to my mind that the administration proposes to have nnother big club to swing over corporations in A political campaign. I don't think you will see any increase In the revenues. Why has the administration (iijnorei the switch ordinance of 1003. which would probably have vielded at leWt a year?" Common Councilman A. G.

Upon procuring a bottle of -Radium which was recommended to me by some one here in the hotel. I rubbed my face gently with it. and In a very short while was entirely relieved of the pain, and bv night the swelling was reduced and after further rubbing my face by the next morning was again its normal size. I will take every opportunity of recommending 'Radium Radia' to all who suffer as I have suffered, and for other ailments which give way to rubbing.
