He said they agreed to a provision forfeiting the franchise unless the road was finished within five years.

They also agreed to increase tho capital to $3,000,000 at any time. Both these amendments were recommended by the City Attorney. He spoke of the great advantage to tha people of Carroliton, and that section and also to Louisville in increased trade, especially in tobacco, which now goes to Cincinnati. In the midst of Judge Donaldson's talk, the clock struck 9 and the chair announced that It was the time appointed for the Joint session. The Board of Aldermen adjourned to the -Board of Council chamber, where tho Joint session was held.

After the passage of tho police payrolls for tho month of June tha Railroad Committee reported unfavorably an ordinance requiring the street railway company to keep In repair the streets on which it runs or so much thereof as lies between the rails. and on each side and requiring It to pay all the damages where suit was brought for injury occasioned by a defect in the streets where its tracks run. On the referring of the ordinance to the Aldermen to accept or reject the action of the committee, Alderman Uri spoke in favor of the ordinance and an opinion from City Attorney Stone was read, saying that there was nothing to provent the passage of such an ordinance. Alderman Uri said the city had paid out thousands of dollars from injuries caused by defects in the street paving between the railroad tracks, and he thought it was right that the railroad should pay all the damage instead of half. The ordinance was put to a vote and was lost 7 to i a Uri Stirs Things.

PHYSICIANS ARE SUMMONED. DBS. GBIFFITHS AND CHEAT HAM RESPONDED TO CALL. H'E END CAME AT 3:51 A. M.

Mr. Pulaski Leeds, the victim of Geo. B. Warner, died, at 3:51 this morning. Septic meningitis set in, and Drs.

Geo. W. Griffiths and William Cheatham were hastily summoned at midnight. He was unconscious and had been so since shortly after 10 o'clock. His wifewa3 with him and the other members of the family were summoned at midnight.

The turn for the worse came shortly after 10 o'clock. Throughout the day Mr. Leeds Improved rapidly, and the physicians felt greatly encouraged. They left Sts. Mary Elizabeth Hospital and went to their homes.

About 10 clock the nurse in charge noticed that the patient's breathing had become labored, apparently from a collection of puss in the throat. Efforts to relieve proved futile, and in a short time he became unconscious. He' began to sink and the physicians were notified and hurried to his bedside. They found the patient lying stretched at full length on his back with his arms extended. His breathing was ap- opletic, coming in prolonged gasps, the air penetrating the puss In the throat with difficulty and producing a gurgling sound.

An operation was at once performed. the collection of puss being removed. This relieved his breathing to some ex tent, but they were unable to restore consciousness and soon determined that his death was only a question of time. Though Mr. Leeds' wounds were recognized at first as dangerous he dis played so much gameness and exhibited so much vitality that it was hoped he would recover.

Geo. Warner was much improved yes terday, and the chances for his recovery afe decidedly better. The bullet entered the right Jaw just in front of the lobe of the right ear and came out over the left eye. His skull was fractured, but the bullet did not touch the brain. N.

E. Warner, Siis son, arrived yes terday morning from Logansport, where he is employed as an electrician. He was greatly surprised when he learned that his father had attempted such an act, as the message he received from his brother in Decatur, led him to believe that tils father had been assaulted Instead of being the assailant. He will remain in Louisville un til his father is completely recovered and will minister to his wants during his Illness. He spent the greater part of the day at the City Hospital, where his father was taken immediately after the shooting.

A strong pressure is being brought to bear upon Commonwealth's Attorney A. F. Byrd. of this place, to enter the race for Circuit Judge in this district.

The Btreets are practically deserted arid aside from incipient riots in in which no serious results have been reported, the city Is In a tranquil condition.

The city is patrolled by regular and special men, armed with Winchester rifles, and it Is believed they are capable of coping with any trouble that may arise. The city to-night reminds one of a deserted-village. The cars are running as usual to-night, but are carrying, very few passengers. No arrests have been' made to-night. Coroner Begins Inquest.

Coroner Walling has begun his ln- que'st on the remains of victims of last night's riots. In the pocket of Fred 'Kappler, who died this morning, cartridges were found tfcit fitted one of -the 'revolvers found on the street, after the shooting. This leads to the belief Kappler was engaged in the riot. Harry 5. Hunter, a traveling man of "iridianapdlis, was an eye-witness to the shooting.

He was before the Coroner and detailed, a story of the trouble. He said the crowd gradually forced the troops back until the men were against 'the front of theSherlff's residence and to either fight or run. He 'heard -a command to Are, but was unable to determine who gave the order. Another witness said that Just previous to the' shooting Capt. Blum, In command of the troobs: wasin the Sher iff's residence entertaining an army 'officer.

The witness ran in and urged the. officer to hasten out to his men, -saying -trouble was brewing. Blum went out, and a few moments later he heard a command to fire.

"The committee first arranged to take absolute control of the election of delegates and to appoint every officer connected with it seven officers in each ward, without any reference to the people, although mass-conventions were ordered, and the only concession to fairness was a chance tq my friends to suggest one feller out of the seven officers. This obviously is much more unfair than any Democratic election law in Kentucky. "For my friends, I objected to this plan In the letter of July 2, published July 7, setting forth the objections in plain words which were conservative in expression. The committee received this letter, voted 56 to 2 to ignore It, and actually 'voted their plan through to appoint every one of the election officers in all of the wards and county precincts. "But on the night of July 6, after once adopting that unfair plan, they realized they had gone too far and adopted the modified order, which appears to-day.

"This order, in spite of the opinion of -the Herald to the contrary, is contrary to the State call and manifestly unfair, and while they have two or three show wards' in which officers ars named who are well and favorably known in order to create an Impression of fairness, the analysis of these names shows that the arrangements this committee has made are quite as unfair as the previous arrangement, except that the chairman, vice chairman, secretary and Bergeant-at-arms named by the committee are only temporary officers. The influence of temporary officers or even one man calling a mass convention to order is well understood by all sensible men and Is In this case Implied, because they appoint four temporary officers and three permanent tellers. "I declined to submit- a list of tellers to this committee because the result would be a primary in which nothing would be left to chance, and the opposition would be practically eliminated. "The mass conventions in the county seem to follow the State call, and there is no objeotlon to them. His Friends Not Bolters.

"I do not wish my friends to be in the attitude of -bolters in Che delegate elections In the city. I hope they will have the majority and willnduct the election without bitterness' or wrangling. In good-natured efforts, as neighbors should, and that In no event will they take tlheir troubles to the public or newspapers, but wherever unfairness is practiced, that they will make a memorandum of the facts and present it to the State convention whenever they have a majority and It has not been recognized. We believe If there Is any bolting It will be done by the partisans of the other candi dates, and we do not intend to have any contest where the election is fair and the majority against us. I hope there will be no misunderstanding, and that all my friends and all friends, will attend the elections at the places provided by the commit tee; as to several of these places, there Is some uncertainty, for the call does not state in the Fourth ward which of the Bowles halls, and In the Eighth ward wWch of the Odd Fellows' bails, amd In the Auditorium In the Seventh ward in which room the voters are to assemble; but I wtfsti all of my friends throughout the city to assemble at the places the committee has fixed and which it had the power to fix, and there to organize the meetings as mass conventions, as ordered by the State Committee, and elect their own officers, provided they have the majority.

"I do not Insist that they shall do this In any ward where they are satisfied with the officers. It is not for me to dictate, it is for the people to settle, but they should not permit the partisan committee to usurp the people's rights and appoint officers over them, and In every case where the partisan officers chosen by the committee Insist on this, the people should take the matter In their own hands and elect their own officers and send to the State convention their own delegates, and If the officers appointed by the commltee certify the election of delegates who were not elected, the delegates chosen by the people should contest such certificates and election and appeal to the State convention to seat the delegates actually chosen by the people. I ask that no friend of mine In any case abuse any of the candidates, but that all be treated with respect and consideration, and I ask that there be no wrangling, but that If the people are excluded from their rights, they should in an orderly and peaceable manner proceed to elect their own officers and delegates and present their proof to the State conven tion. Mouths Forever Sealed. "The particulars as to officers chosen by the committee show a partisanship and unfairness so plain that the men guilty of It never should again talk of Democratic unfairness In the appoint ment of election officers; their mouths are sealed; for under the worst partisan laws we have one of three election commissioners In each county and at least a provision for an equal division of the officers who take the vote at each voting place, and no one can pro tend that there Is any approach to such division here and under the State law we have challengers and Inspectors and under this committee we have neither, and no chance for either.

The halls will be in the possession of the agents ot this committee and we have been threatened with the plan of ad mitting the partisans of one candidate before the hour of election and the ex clusion of ail they do not wiBh. and while the chairman has insisted earnestly that the rooms will be as open as the courts, and we do not claim that he wishes any unfairness, it is sure that he cannot be present at but one, ind that the men appointed will do as they please at the others, as he Is only one member ot tne committee."

Between being at the point of death and returning to what his holiness is to-night there is certainly such a difference as to permit the most optimistic views.

To properly understand the change which has taken place It must be con sldered that yesterday the conviction was so sure that he would die during the night, that notwithstanding the conlrary opinion of Dr. Lapponi, those surrounding the Pope insisted on having extreme unc-tlOn administered. Evil tongues even insinuate that some members of Pope Leo'S Immediate circle counted on the bad effects that such a funclion was likely to produce on a weakened organism, but the Pope resisted splendidly. Indeed, he seems to have acquired fresh strength. I don't, dare to say anything positive.

It Is very easy to be deceived, especially In the presence of such marvelous resistance. I merely venture the Impression that there Is a probability that the Pope will die, but I do not believe death will occur yet. Leo's Interest Aroused. The marvelous vitality and reupera-tlve energy of the Pope were never so forcibly demonstrated as by the series of events preceding, accompanying and following to-day's operation. Since this morning, when first Informed that the operation would perhaps be necesr sary, his holiness began to Inquire about it.

Turning to Dr. Lapponi with his usual familiarity he asked, "Will it be painful? Remember, I cannot stand much pain." Instead of Dr. Lapponi, Dr. Mozzonl- answered: "I can assure your holiness that you will feel no pain. A little cocaine will deaden all sensation." Pope Leo retorted at once: "Remember, you said the same thing when you extrneted that cyst a few years ago." Dr.

MazzonI replied: "That operation went very well, but this can hardly be called an operation." The Pope then concluded: "Then, do whatever you think best." When the operation took place nobody was allowed in the room be3lde the doctors except Pope Leo's valet, PIo Centra; even his nephew, Count Camillo Pecci, left the room to await with extreme anxiety in an adjoining hall the result. The doctors, desiring a strong' light, had the window widely opened, but as it faces the bed the light offended the weak eyes of the Pontiff, so that it was thought desirable that he should reverse hts position. As soon as this was proposed the Pope himself made a movement, showing again that spirit of activity and determination which seems constantly to Inspire him. The Doctors Astounded. Dr.

Mazzonl, however, did not give him time to leave the bed, but taking him in his arms literally turned the Pontiff about-. Pope Leo smiled and exclaimed: "Bravo, Professor. I congratulate you. Although I have become so light, I must still be rather heavy." Both the doctors laughed and were at the same time astonished at the brightness of the Pontiff when oppressed by such a dangerous Illness and on-the point of undergoing a surgical operation. Pope Leo remained sitting up In bed during the whole time of the operation without need of support.

When Dr. Mazzonl substituted the Pravaz needle with an aspirator the Pope did not even notice It, going through the whole affair without emitting the slightest lament and without showing any feeling of pain. He was extremely pale, almost diaphanous, and somewhat tremulous. As soon as the operation was closed his holiness felt much relieved. His eye, from an expression of languid melancholy, assumed Its usual vivacity, Illuminating the emaciated face.

Dr. Maxzonl at once administered a cordial which the Pontiff took willingly, thanking him with a grateful look for the brave struggle to preserve his life. Bouquet For tha Physician. He afterwards expressed a desire to see the liquid wiiich had been extracted from his thorax. Botih doctors assured him chat his wish would be gratified later.

The pontiff then asked for minute explanations of the apparatus used In the operation. "It Is a moat Ingenious Instrument," he said, "but your hand Is also very clever. That Is why the operation was successful In not giving me any pain. I thank you." After -half an hour's peaceful and apparently refreshing repose the Pope awoke and inquired about the doctors. Hearing they were in the next room, he said: thought they had gone.

What do. they stay here for? What are they Dr. Lapponi. re-entering the room, said: "We were preparing bulletins regarding the operation, saying It was successful in all respeots." Dr. Mazzonl added: We must Inform the public, which is waiting" with euch trepidation, especially as It Is so easy to have Inexact news spread.

Asks To See Bulletins. "Very well," replied his holiness, "I wish to see myself those bulletins In their exact text. I have already seen and meditated on that of last night." He then went on speaking about the causes of his Illness. "I would like to know," he said, "from what It comes. I think I have always followed Dr.

Lapponl's advice." "Not always, your holiness," replied Lapponi gently. "Well," retorted Pope Leo, "you could not expect to remedy my old age." After a short silence the Pope, turning to Dr. Mazzonl, said: "In the last consistory I appointed as a cardinal a fellow-citizen of yours. Cardinal Tall-anl. who comes from the Marches.

Dr you know, him?" "Yes, your holiness, I know him. 1 hope that that will not be your last consistory." "I am afraid so." sighed the Pope sadly. After which, his head fell upon the pillow as though extremely tired, being again the prey of exhaustion. The happy and cheerful expressions of the pontiff at the moment when he was In the very shadow of death astonished the' doctors. The Pope himself seems to glory In his ability to present a calm and bright demeanor, and particularly asked the doctors to tell the people about his state of mind.

Accordingly, the dootors have freely the cheerfulness of the venerable patient, repeating the details ot his quick sallies as showing the activity of his mind. HAVE VETO POWEB.

SMITH. Mr. Uri Said He Was Getting Something Out of His Position As Alderman. 1 ELECT GAS COMPANY DIRECTOKS A meeting of the Board of Aldermen, which began last night with. dull, uninteresting transaction of routine ended with plenty of life and -al-most a fist fight between' Alderman James Smith and Alderman N.

M. tfrl. Alderman Smith called AldermaiuUrl a liar, and threatened to "knock' his head off" if he made any insinuations against him. Alderman Uri had said: that Mr. Smith was getting something by being a member of the Board of Aldermen.

The trouble began by the introduction of a resolution by Alderman Uri appointing a committee of three examine the contracts which had been let by the Board of Public Works between April 1 and the present time. He made no direct charges against the board, but Insinuated that something was wrong, because only two men, lie said, got all the street contracts. The motion had been argued, Alderman Smith defending the Board of Public i.Vqrke, and several other Aldermen doing the same. Chairman WeHer, of the board, explained that the books of the board were always open for inspection. Alderman Smith had the floor, and was speaking in favor of a motion to refer the matter to the Street Committee when the row began.

Mr. 'Uri interrupted him, and Mr. Smith said "the resolution was introduced from spite, and that if the Alderman wanted- to know what was In the books he could go to see them, as they, were open? to him. "I don't have to do that," responded Mr. Uri.

"No, you want some one else to 'do j-ourwork for you," quickly retorted-Al-derman Smith. This started the bad feeling and Jt was 'followed shortly by -a 'statement from Mri Uri-thatThe got nothing' out of coming to the Council. AUierman. Smith a3ked'if he meant to insinuate that he. Smith, did get something.

Al derman Uri promptly responded: "Yes, you do get something out of It." Mr. Smith demanded to know what, he meant, and Mr. Uri said: "You get a good deal of Insurance from the city, I understand." Mr. Smith disclaimed Interest In any insurance company, and Mr. Uri said that he had an arrangement, which was the same thing.

This ended the affair until after the adjournment of the Aldermen a few minutes later, after Mr. Uri's motion had gone to the committee. Immediately on adjournment Alderman Smith Walked oyer to Alderman Uri nnd said: "Did you mean to Insinuate anything wrong In my conduct?" Any such intention wns disclaimed by Mr. Uri, and then Mr. Smith said angrily: "Don't you ever Insinuate anything of the kind or I will knock your head off." He then Btarted away and as he made one step Mr.

Uri said: "You do get something from the city by being an Alderman." Mr. Smith promptly turned and said in a clear, voice: "You're a liar." He started to draw back his (1st, but several leglslotors Interfered. At 8 o'clock, pursuant to a resolution adopted at a previous meeting, the General Council met in Joint session to elect four directors for the Louisville Gas Company.

Donelson, of Carroliton, took the floor. He spoke for some' "minutes-answering the objections of the City Attorney and Alderman Uri Injected some life into the proceedings by asking the laying aside two contracts sent up by the Board of Public Works, these being part of a number. He said he wanted to know something about Jacob G-ast, who was surety for all the contractor's who secured contracts. Alderman Tyler said Mr. Gast was one of the best citizens In Louisville.

He was asked' by Alderman Uri if it was not true that Mr. Gast was a moneylender. Alderman Tyler said it was true. Alderman-Uri said he wanted to know something about -Mr. Gast and it was explained by the chairman of the Board ot Public Works that tho surety was selected purely oa to finance.

Alderman Uri said he was "out hunting to-night" after he introduced a resolution appointing a committee of three to look into all the contracts awarded by the Board of Public Works between April 1 and July 7, and examine how they were given out. Alderman Uri spoke in support ot his resolution, and wild: "It seems to mo there are only two contractors In the city of Louisville. I hear only the names of Gosnell and Flgg, Figg and' Gosnell.

I want to know who Is bidding on these contracts and how they are awarded."
