Wilson warmly replied that not a cent
OF that money came into bis hands, ana
such a record could not be found:
This matter was ruled out, as foreign
to the subject.
Explanations were now in order: Cap
tain Wilson thought he was called upon
as a man and gentleman to resent suen
an imputation as that put upon him by
Mr.. McAdams. Brother" Stone was
called out to explain what had trans
pired at the Courthouse, and 1t was de-
yeloped that if counsel for the defense
had desired TO retain Captain Wilson ne
1.-THE Captain1 was not aware OF 1t ana
of course not TO blame. Business, Dus-
mess" was then called for and the mat
ter dropped. The whole excitement
grew out of simple request from Cap
tain Wilson TO have some kind OF re-
mort from the committee SO that Coun-
cil might get some idea of how matters
were progressing, which was perfectly
right and proper" as Squire schultze
remarked.
The report of the committee was then
adopted, and the bills ordered paid.
THE SALARY QUESTION
The report Of the Committee on Sal
aries was received and read.
Mr.. Boring moved to adopt the report
of the committee, thus doing away with
the amendments of the Second Branch.
Mr.. Cracraft moved to lay the whole
matter on the table, and as this motion
is not debatable, and was carried, the
whole question went over for the pres
ent without a word of comment or de-
bate.
The action of the Second Branch in
ordering a four-inch gas main laid to
the Central Glass Works, was concurred
in.
In compliance with a request from
this Branch, the City Solicitor appeared
and gave as his opinion that the city
could not compel the Hempfield and r.,
C. d st. l.. railroads to build walls to
protect the adjacent lands from slides,
but thought arrangements might be
made by which they would share the
cost. q,
By this time, the members who had
not answered roll-call put in an appear
ance, and again full membership was
present.
The special order of the evening was
then up for consideration, viz: The
granting of coffee-house licenses. With
one or two exceptions, but little debate
or discussion was held. No certificates
of character were presented, but as the
name of the applicant was read, any one
who knew him would tell his knowledge
of his character and reputation.
During this order OF business laugh
able incident occurred. Messrs. Schultze
and Cracraft were having an amlable
tiff and the latter said: 81 have just one
word to say and will then leave the mat
ter to my thin friends conscience and
his God"
Said Mr.. Schultze: 81 haven't got
either" at which some little laughter
ensued.
The application of William Harlem
stein was laid upon the
table. He is the proprietor
of the famous Roaring Gimlet," which
was represented to be, or rather to have
been, one OF the most disorderly places
in town.
The application of Henry c. Bauer, OF
East Wheeling, was rejected, it appear
ing that he was unable to maintain or
der. Mr.. Boring said that if it had not
been for his wife, he would have done
much worse, as "she was the better man
OF the two" All other applications were
granted.
Numerous resolutions from the Sec
ond branch were concurred in. The
one appointing committee in relation
to the Kasley, Brook & Co. trouble was
tabled.
On the Clark & Manion joint commit
tee, Messrs. Cracraft, Hughes and Nc
Adams were appointed for this branch.
Adjourned at II o'clock.
