things provides as follows :"Notice of all appoint

salaries shall in like manner within ono week aftes
they made. be transmitted and published In ths
Guy Record"
IL appears that this direction or the charter has
not been complied with III Mr.. Morrison's case
Mayor Cooper remarked yesterday. on being ques
toned relative to such publication. 81 really don't
know anything about It," lie was also asked a. I'd
when the appointment was made, but he could mol
recolect the date. Some enterprising "City
Fathers" talked yesterday afternoon OF preferring
charges against Mayor Cooper for neglect OF duty In
this particular.
Mr.. Morrison stated positively last evening that
he had been regularly appointed aud sworn Into
Office yesterday and not before. He had been moth
ned by the Mayor on November "A to resume his
duties, but did not take charge until yesterday hs

manner must affect the brain and cause her to
die. The doctor. precautionary measure.

tented themselves with peefShg curiously about the
