A smaHRssouIed equabbie for Oflce.
MEMPHIs, Oct. ia row in the muni-
cipal camp has been occasioned by the
mayors appointing chairman Zent, of the
common council, instead of chairman Ce-
cells, of the board of aldermen, as mayor,
pro tenn, during mayor Johnson's Illness.
Cecella caused q writ of custer to be served
on Zent this morning and is now in losses
sion OF The Office. The affair caused a gem
'eral feeling of disgust.
Over the temporary Mayorship subject
there is much remark and general tone OF
disgust at the conduct of Cecella. 1t is
known that Chairman Zent is more familiar
with the duties of the Office and the plans
of the Mayor. Prominent citizens and
members OF both boards interviewed Cecilia
with gentle hiuts of the above stated facts
but to no no purpose. He is entitled to sit
rs Mayor pro tenn during the absence of the
Mayor, sickness or otherwise, and de-
manded and was yielded the chair.
Thieves.
1t is evident that thieves are focking to
this city. Several attempted robberies OF
houses and persons have been nipped in
the bud. A man named Blakemore was
detected yesterday defrauding the Citizens
Relief Committee of raticns and fined this
morning $50 and confinement to dark
cell for ten days.
