The principal thing indulged in by celect council at their Saturday evening meeting was talk. The water house bill and tho payment of Chief Engineer Whltmoyer was the cause of the discas- sion.

Considerable fueling was mani fested In tbe matter by Messrs. Gramm and Bhaffdr. The bill was again de' feated, however, by a party vote. 1'resident Gramm presided in the pres ence of a quorum of memoers. The monthly bills were presented and ordered to te paid, wnen it was discovered that the police bill was missing.

Mr. Gramm wanted to know where it was, when a member stated that it bad not been signed by a majority of the members and was in the hands of a com mon council member and he was it tak ing in the parade. rne water nouse ma was objected when reached. This caused a breez Mr. Hamilton wanted only continue employees paid, while Mr.

Shaffer de manaed mat it include all. The yeas and nays were tasen wnen tbe motion of Mr. Snefler was defeated by a vote of 3 to 2. Mr. Shaffer was indiguant.

He wanted to kuow why things were thus, "What is tne law on the subject he demanded.

Don't he furnish bonds said Mr. Shaffer, as he eyed the presi dent. "No, sir.

If we don't respect the law which governs us, how can we expect the employees to respect it." Mr. Hamilton here attempted to pacify matters. He told the truth by staling that it should come to an end, bnt in the same breath started it booming again by adding, "He ain't confirmed and tbat ends it." Why ain't he? pertinently enquired Mr. Shaffer. To this Mr.

Hamilton tartly replied that he had giveu his reasons long ago. "And one of them was," added Mr. Whitmoyer gave mp the kejs and left without giving notice.

J. Nordheimer, a property owner of the Sixth ward made an explanation In reference to the sewer assessments of the Fourth and Hamilton street sewer. He thought the assessors bad made too much discrimination.

The Kahnweilcr-Hargest bill Was brought up for concurrence.

It was not properly signed, ajd was therefore sent back to the committee. Mr. Shaffer tbonght this was child's play, and Mr. Uraxm retorted that it was no such thing. A discussion followed, but they finally got down to binir.fis in order to allow Mr.
