and gran the apace Inside of the seats, waa crowded. WkM President Kirk called the board to order ths room waa deniely crowded, and tome of the Aldermen could not be aeea from the clerk's desk. Many of the prominent leaden of Tammany Hall stood around the room and crowded up the front around President Kirk's seat. Corooer Martin and John Carroll sat at the president's feet, Corooer Levy stood near by. Joan A.

Brodiky occupied Alderman Podia's goat, and Aldermen-elect and ex-Aldermcn were as tnlek aa dry braves la Autumn. The roll was called, minutes were read, and a little miscellaneous business was transacted. Then President Kirk announced a communication from bis Honor, tne Mayor." and tbe crowd leaned forward and silence fell upon the room. A ripple of laughter followed when tbe communication turned out to be a vrto of a resolution permitting tbe erection of an awning. Then second communication from the same source was announced, and.

in a letter dated Dec 15, tbe Mayor nominated for Commissioner of Public Works Fits John Porter. Alderman Grant was on hta feet tn a moment and moved the confirmation of lr. Porter. Alderman Do Lacy moved, aa an amendment, that tbe nomination be laid upon the table. Both motions were seconded.

-The question to on tbe amendment, said Preaident Kirk. -Those in fsvor of tbe amendment will as tbelr names are oailed answer aye, Iboae opposed no. Tbe clerk will proceed to tall the roll." The Preaident," called Cant. Twomey. "No," anawered Mr.

Kirk. Aldermen Cieary and I)e Lacy. County Demo, rata, an.wered aye: Aldermen bempaey and Duffy. Tammany, no, and Alderman Farley. County Domncrat wttn Tammany leanings, are.

Alderman Flnck asked to be excused from rot-Ing. and when Preaident Kirk, under the Impres-SHn that tbe Alderman desired to explain bis Tot. gave hira tbe opportunity the Alderman looked helplessly at John E. Brodsky. Tbe latter whispered to bim and the Alderman aaid be didn't want to explain.

Aldermen ullgrafr and Grant. Tammany, voted against tbe motion to lay on the taoie. Alderman Jaehne. County Democrat; Alderman Kenney, Tammany, and Alderman Miller, Republican, for it. Alderman McCabe, who, at tbe eleventh hour, went back to hia Tammany friends, voted in the pegs Ire, and so did Alderman McLouarhlin, Tammany.

Alderman MnQuade, County Democrat, voted In tbe affirmative, and Alderawin O'Connor, whose name came next, explained liia vote. iHe said he bad not been In any deals or conference, but being so frequently tnisreDre-. sen ted. be would read nla remarks. After read-Inr two pages of typewriter manuscript.

Mr. O'Connor wound up by saying that be thought waa "called upon to vote for such nominees of tbe Mayor aa have tbe respect and confidence of tbe public," and whom be believed- to be thorough ly At," and to decline to vote for any nominee who does not fully come up to this standard. Tben Alderman O'Connor voted against tbe resolution to lay on tbe table. Alderman O'Neil's name came next on the roll, nd be occupied nearly live minutes In explain-ins; wby he would not vote and tben voted ave, that beins tbe parliamentary subterfuge br which a member can free bis mind while tbe roil bains called. Alderman O'Nell said be waa astonished at tbe around taken by Aldetmsn O'Connor, who had evidenced a desire to vote for Mr.

Porter. Alderman O'Connor, said Mr. O'Nell. belonged to a party which had for 20 years been denouncing Mr. Porter as a traitor and demanding hia blood.

See," cried Alderman O'Nell, how Mr. O'Connor has stultified himself." Then turning- to President Kirk. Mr. O'Nell referred to tbe Debt which the Preaident and he had been waging for a year aa-alnst nonresident officeholders. Fits John Porter," said the Alderman, was brought to tbia city from Morrtatown.

N. and put In a little room at tne Wei Una-ton so as to make a New-Yorker of him. Kow, Mr. President, be is a -national man and should be put in a position worthy of" Mr. President," interrupted Alderman Sheila.

"Mow, you keep your eaat," aaid Alderman O'Nell. "AH you have to say wont add to the wisdom of this world." Tbe crowd iausrhed and applauded and Alderman Beetle subsided. Don't drag Gen. Porter ever here," pleaded Alderman O'Nell, with touching- sarcasm. Don let him be thru at into tbe slums of local politics by low politicians and designing men." There waa another ripple of laua-hter, and Preaident Kirk aaid to tbe crowd: You'll have to keen out of here lr you cant keep still." Leave Gen.

Porter where be la." continued Alderman O'NeU. It's a Doeitlon more in keeping- with his military record. He deserves well of tbia country. Let tbe country take care of him, or leave him to hia own stanch little State of New-Jersey. I dont see how you.

Mr. President" Tbe Alderman must confine himself to ex plaining bis vote," said Preaident Kirk. I trust 1 wilL" aaid Alderman O'NeiL "Ton and 1 bare been fighting this non-resident busi ness for a year, and It very wrong to nut Gen. Porter In here. It Is discreditable to tbe Mayor ana to toe men do are trying to neiv mm." After Alderman O'Nell had been recorded AL derman Pearson, Republican, voted on tbe same tide.

Alderman jlellly. County Democrat. ex plained hia vote. 1 hope, he said, "the mem- Pen of tbe board will reject this nomination. Tbe present incumbent of tbe office of tbe Com missioner of Public orka la a gentleman who has risen from a clerkship in tbe department.

He thoroughly understands tbe details of his office, as we have all found when we have wanted work done. Three different mvwstigauoos started by bis pontics! enemies have resulted In something very like commendation, though the committees were appointed to condemn. After relerrvir to Mr. Porter's non-residence Alderman heilly said: "Can you. Sir.

Alderman Sheila, alleged independent, explained hia vote, which waa against tbe amendment.

He asserted that Mr. Porter "eao. rtueed his life" for tbe Nation, and denied that be reduced the was of la borers. Aldermen Waits and vYandet, Republicans, voted for tbe amendment. -The vote aa reoorded stood for the amend.

The gentlemen holding this theory predict that between now and baturday there will be several resignations planed In tbe Mayor's bands, and that as tbe Ewer of flu ins unexnired terms rests with tbe ayor. unhampered by the Common Council, be can dispose of these offloes where tbey will do tbe most rood.

A CARNIVAL 0FMT3IIC COMMERCE, THX PAIS FOR THE LOUIS POTTS-TOWH SABBATH SCHOOL. Tbe fat and rosy cherubs that sport among the wreaths in deshabille clear around tbe frieze of the great ballroom in the Hotel Brunswick looked down last nlgbt upon a gorgeous and glittering carnival of mimic commerce. It was tbe Charity Fair In aid of tbe Louis Downtown Sabbath School, which Is carried on by the ladles of Temple Emano-EL There were more inducements to spend money at tbe fair than can be discovered anywhere outside of charity fair, and the young gentlemen in particular and all the gentlemen In general who were rash enough to attend with full purses went away with seriously depleted exchequers. capital was neither conservative nor timid, how ever, and a big holiday trade was carried on. Tbe nrst temptation that beset the visitor was tbe floral bcotb presided over by Mrs.

Lewis Mar and Mrs. G. Wolff, where everything in the line ot flowers was on sale, from a to a rosebush. There was beautiful display of elegant knlckknacka and bric-a-brac at tbe table of tbe Alumni of Temple Kmanu-iJ. where Mrs.

Hoi ftein and Mrs. Jennie Rosener nreaided. asalsted by a swarm of pretty girls. Tbe candy stand was under the direction of Miss r.mraa Leopold. Mrs.

Hart, and a lot more of pretty s-trls. and the combined fascination of tbe wares snd tbe sellers almost depleted tbe stock in hand. At the rsncy booth there were all tbe usual beautiful articles of feminine handiwork in embroider), with crazy onlita, tidies, lambrequins, pincushions, without number. Mrs. J.

Cohen and Mrs. Dr. Barucb conducted the traffic at this table, with the assistance of more young ladles great persuasive power. Mrs. Oecar 6.

Straus and Mrs. Lazarus Kohns sold hrte-s-brac with a competent staff of lovely clerks, and Mrs. Anna Davis and Mrs. Frederick Nathan, similarly eouinoed. drove a brisk trade in stationery and toilet articles.

There was a post offlee, where any one could find a letter addressed to himself or herself upon payment of tbe postage due, and there were other ways snd means to spend money without number. Mr. H. Louis had nresented a grand piano, and books were open for "subscriptions' thereto, wltb a ooasibllity of getting tbe instrument for a dol lar. Mrs.

M. D. Louis superintended tbe refreshment room, where all manner of things eatable and drinkable were provided. Mrs. Gottbeil.

tbe wife of tbe Pastor of the Temple, dispensed tea and coffee; Mrs. A. Bacher presided at tbe buffet, Mrs. H. Gltterman sold ice cream, and Mrs.

H. Solomon and Mrs. M. Schneider ladled out lemonade to tbe thirsty. One of tbe features of the fair was tbe art gallery, where Mrs, J.

J. Bach. Mrs. 6. Laranburg.

and Miss Gertie Gottbeil were in attendance. Tbe art gallery was shut off from tbe refreshment room by a Japanese screen, and was pervaded by an atmosphere of mystery. Each visitor was provided witb an elaborate catalogue, and however boldly he ventured behind the screen he came forth again looking a trifle foolish, as if he had been played upon. Everyfone refused to divulge the secret of the art gallery, however, and curious persons were obliged to fathom Its mysteries for themselves. Somebody's Darling was tbe work tbe most universally admired, though The Commentator" appealed strongly to the feelings of many.

There were zn numbers on the programme, each a gem In itself. Tbe fair will be open from P.M. until 11 in the evening to-day, and during the same hours to-morrow. A MURDER SUSPECTED. THX BODY OF A SODCS LADY DISINTERRED TO SEK IF SHE WAS POISONED.

Ltokb. N. Dec. 15. Rumors of a possible murder in the town of Sodua, adjoining this place, have caused great excitement here.

The supposed victim is Miss Pamelia Marquet- By her father's will she was bequeathed a large tract of valuable farming land in Sodus, besides several thousand dollars. She was a young maiden lady and refused all offers of marriage, preferring to manage her estate alone. After her father's death tbe lived at the home of her Bister, Mrs. George Bridges, In Lyons. Owing to trouble between the sisters because of the distribution of their father's property Miss Marauet went to live in the family of Albert Thorn.

8he refused to see or speak to her sister. She seems to have led a pleasant life, and her friend- snip was careruiiy cultivated. During tbe latter part of August she made a will giving all her property to Mrs. Albert Thorn. 8 be was then apparently in good health.

On Oct. 8 her sister, Mrs. George Bridges, suddenly sent for her to corns and visit at ber house. She accepted tbe invitation, and aeveral hours later was taken there In a carriage. One hour after arriving at ner sisters sne wss taken witn spasms of vomiting.

In a short time she waa alarmingly ill, and she died six hours later. Tbe funeral was held a day later and tbe body interred. When the wlU was offered for probate but month the sister and brotber-ln-law began suit to break it, and tbe matter Is now in the courts. During tbe legal proceedings tbe suspicion has been growing that Miss Marquet did not die from natural causes. Yesterday tbe Coroner summoned a Jury and several physicians and went to tbe grave.

In Sodus. and had the body exhumed. The body wss opened and the stomach and Intestines removed and taken to Prof. Lat- tlmore. of Rochester, with a view to ascertaining If there Is poison in tbem.

The results of the analysis are awaited with much interest. MITCHELL COLLEGE OF SCIENCES. SiixwATjKXK. Dec 15. A report that Alexander Mitchell and Dr.

Daviea. of tha TJnlverJlty of Wisconsin, had recently been in consultation respecting the rebuilding of Sci ence HalCkt Madison, was verified by Mr. Mitchell this morning. These two gentlemen have such a proposition under consideration, but so far no conclusion has been reached. I have maoe no promise of a nnanctai character yet.

As to the name of tbe institution if it is rebuilt cannot say," said Mr. Mitchell. "I have applications enough to make a big hole in my fort une, nfrei Mr. siooav. wnn wants tn give $50,000 for tbe erection of a Young Men's ennsuan Association a very worthy object indeed.

There are manv things In Mil waukee that ought to be attended to. and I suppose 1 will be Invited to participate when the time comes. I don't like these matters to be maoe puoiic wnue they are In state of embryo. jl gentleman irom aiaaison said it la not unlikely that Wisconsin will yet have "The Mitchell College of Sciences," as the understanding Is thst tbe railroad king, Mr. Mitchell, will give toward rebuilding Science Hall.

An hour later pessetsbT saw a rough white pasteboard rattened the door with tbe simple Inscription fJuspendAd" written in irregular black charac ters, Moa pf the men who were met on tbe street and spoken to In regard to the broken bank aaid tbey expected tbe crash to come sooner or later and so had withdrawn their money, il la stated that large, sums were pad out this mbrning. Saturda afternoon the Directors of the bank held a meeting in the Directors' room. Strenuous efforts were made to raise the amount go clear tbe bank from difficnttr htrt without avail. One Director aaid tbat he would subscribe 1 15.000. and others subscribed smaller amounts.

I There waa one Director nresent. however, who refused to subscribe anvthins- for the sake if keeping tbe bank on its feet. No other bar Its tn the city will be injured by the fall of tb i City Bank.

Tbe committee, af er an investigation, reported in January to the full Board of Directors that tbe bank was sound. On Feb. IS tbe Jonea Car Works failed, and on the next day it became known that the City (Bank had obtained a Judgment for $108,000 against the car company. Next morning, when the bank was opened a run on it began, and sjboiit was drswrout. Tbe bank received niany offers of assistance, but they were declined, tbe ground tbat the bank was perfectly solvent and able to pay all its indebtedness.

The promptness with which depositors were paid! brought back confidence in the insti. tutlon, sad toward noon tbe run had nearly ended. Oh March 29 tbe people of Scbenectadv ere survrlsed to hear that the Prestient of tbe bank for six vears. had resigned. No reason tor this resignation was made public beyond tbe statement tbat it was Mr.

McCamua'a desire to resign tbe Presidency. A fresh surprise came to tbe people two days afterward, when it became known that Mr. McCamus had transferred all his property to tbe City Bank on tbe day that nr. scunuui tenaerea nis resignation, ana it was accepted. Charles G.

Ellis, President of the Schenectady Locomotive Works Comnanv. was elected Prjpeident, and E. NottSchermerhornfwas uwub unier, nr. aiouamue remained in tne bank as a Director. Confidence in the bank rnv stronger.

A legisla tive Inquiry, which may develop into a sensa tion, beg kit here to-morrow. The affairs of the Townseni Savings Bank, an Institution which in its day mhlct ed many of the industrious people of this quiet city, are on the verge of being settled, and some 13,000 depositors are anxiously looking for the remains of nearly $3,000,000 intrusted ti the bank years ago. When the Town-send Bank failed, more than 10 years ago. it looked is if tbe business bottom of New- Haven had been knocked out. The losses fell maiblr on those who had either built homes for themselves or were comfortejble trying td 1 pay off small mortgages on their little properties.

Much feeling was aroused throughout tbe State. Tbe excitement was so high that after be I panic of 1873 the Legislature waa forced to take bold of the matter. A special commission, composed of Messrs. Stedman, Nichols, and Marion, investigated tbe affairs of tbe bank, which w4re found to be In a deplorable condition. he original Receivers sppointed by udge Pbeloa were Walter Osborn.

SPECIAL NOTICES. CHRISTMAS APPEAL FOR POOR CHIL DREN. Tbe day of "good will among men" ought to be a happy day to those who have tew pleasures and not many friends, Tbe children of the poor, the boms-leas HUle ones, sleeping beneath stairways or ta boxes and barges, shivering tn the Winter's cold, breasting the storm and snow with bars feet snd tntn. rsgged garments, or huddled In cellars and attics, with barely a crust of bread for the Christmas feast, appeal to all the humane and kind-hearted of whatever natloa or sect for aid and symnathr. The CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY of New-York has for more then SO years been earing for that unfortunate class of poor children, teaching, training to useful labor, sheltering, feeding, and clothing them, and preparing them for good homes and to no useful ctUaena.

Who will help Who will spend a happier Christmas by thinking that be baa placed homeless little ones tn kind homes? Who win 4 give food and clothing and shoes to the abtvaring and hungry Sixty Dollars will give Christmas present of a home in tbe country to three homeless boys or girls. One hundred dollars will provide hot dinners tors month for 100 children. Fifty dollars will put shoes on the bare feet of 40 little ones. The great depression of business this season has thrown large numbers of poor people out ot work and will make the W'inter a hard one. C.
