The Mayor then requested that on account
Of the wouk condition Of his health the next
meeting Of Council be postponed for at least
one day.
L. f. Wall thought that the Mayors request
should be granted.
Alderman E. W. M. Mackey explained that
meeting on Thursday night was necessary in
order to ratlfy the ordinance to declare vacant
certain offices, as the elections We're to be held
on Wednesday next. Any postponement would
defeat the object Of the bill.
It was generally understood that no busi-
ness beyond the ratification Of this ordinance
would be taken up tonight, and with this
agreement the resolution was adopted.
Alderman Collins said that the ordinance
could be ratified without the Mayor. The ma
jority might meet at Hlbernlan Hall and ratlty
1t there.
E. P. Wall (colored) asked what had become
OF the bill which he had presented in regard to
the election OF standing committees.
The Mayor. pronounced it out OF order.
E.P. Wall (colored.) Do you mean to de-
eide that an ordinance on such subject can
not be entertained?
The mayor. It Is contrary to the rules. !
will appoint the Standing Committee, accord
ing to the rules, at fu ture meeting.
E. P. Wall (colored.) 1 appeal from the de-
cition of the chair.
The Mayor. I refuse to entertain the ap-
peal.
This announcement, and the quiet but firm
manner in which the Mayor spoke, threw
wet blanket on "the majority" who thought
they had everything their own way when they
had passed resolutions discharging the stand
ing commlttees and making them elective by
Council. Nothing was said, however, and, OF

Alderman L. J. Mackey spoke in reply, argu-
ing that the authority vested in the Mayor in
police matters was no greater than WAS given
every Alderman and that the authority cited
WAS hut an ordinance which Council could
amend or repeal; that the act OF 1886 only gave
the Mayor the power which the Intendant had
had: that there was Lot = line in the statute
books giving tho Mayor any power or authority
to control the police OF the city; and that the act
of 1865 oulv referred to cases IN which persons
violating the law and fleeing might be arrested
by the police. All the power the Mayor had

Alderman Collins. Before putting the ques-
ton, desire to say thero is wanted only one
or two more good ordinances like the present

The bill was thon ordered to be printed.
E.P. Wall (colored) asked to have read the

The Mayor said the Council had rules under

BRICK MAKING.-Mr. j. C.. Williams, of Bur-
lingame, visited our city this week to find out
how much encouragement the town would Of
fer him to make brick here during the coming
season, and brought with him and left at va
rious places specimen bricks from his kiln at
Burlingame, all of which are very good. Ifhe
can make such brick every time, he will do well
to come here. Mr.. Pollard is under contract to
burn six hundred thousand brick here next
season, but the buildings contemplated by the
Brick Association alone, if erected, will ex-
haust this amount, and great many who in
tend to build next year will be obliged to defer
their building for lack of material We
would like to see all who are interested in the
manufacture of brick come forward and give
some encouragement to brickmakers who can
and will agree to make merchantable brick at
fair price. If Mr.. Williams will make as
good brick here as the specimens he brought
from Burlingame, he is worthy of trial, and
we would be pleased to hear of anything in the
way of encouragement extended to him. We
are satisfied that LOCO, 900 brick Will be requir-
ed here next year. And we are of the opinion,
also, that the more brick made, the greater will
be the demand, for those who wish TO build
will be encouraged by the certainty of full
| supply of material TO complete their designs.

In addition to the thiekly settled country in
which Emporia is located, il is the material

Speaking of such accommodations. must
not fail to mention the Robinson House, of this
place. Col. Robinson has been in possession
of the house but five weeks, and has already
won "a reputation as a hotel keeper which is
second to none; and his house has become a
credit to the city and the State. To those who
know him, IL is useless to say. the COL bears
his honors with his accustomed modesty, while
he deals graciously with all who are thrown
under his care.
