Full Meeting and Important Business

Transacted.
regular meeting of the board of public
works was held yesterday foreooon, Presi-
dent Becker in the chair. Present-Messrs.
Timme and Harrington. Contractor Mullen
appeared and asked for an extention of
time for the completion of the Fifth street
sewer. The application was placed on file
A conversation took place concerning the
recent decision made by Judge Simons in
reference to the Summit avenue sewer. Mr..
Murray explained that the law provided for
reassessment within sixty days for the
cost OF constructing the sewer without refer
ence to and independent of the contract.
Mr.. Murray stated that complaints had
been made concerning the dilapidated con-
dltlon OF the Nash street sewer. The com
plants were based on the grounds that the
sewer lntrlnged on private property. After
general discussion, Mr.. Sewell was in
structed to make the necessary Investigations
and report the result as early as practicable.
volumlnous report was submitted by En-
gineer Sewall, concerning the bad condition
OF the cross walks, in which it was suggested
That further trouble might be obviated by
doing away with wooden GROSS walks by the
substitution of stone or some more durable
material than planks. On motion the report
was referred to the council.
communication was read from Engineer
Sewall, requesting that the work on Western
avenue be taken from contractor Carr and
completed by the city in order that the con.
tractor might be enabled to concentrate his
force on the Mackubin street work and thus
complete the work by the expiration of the
time specified in the contract.
1t was also suggested that in case the
above course be taken, the council be asked
for an appropriation of $1,000 in order that
the workmen could be paid without having
to wait for the estimates. Referred to Mr.
Harrington.
MI. Sherman, the proprietor of the new
building In course of construction on the
corner CT Sixth and Wabashaw streets ap-
peared before the board for the purpose OF
arranging to have the drainage pipes of the
building connect with the Wabashaw street
sewer.
Mr.. Seweu explained that the latter sewe,
was out of repair and was in foul and un-
healthy condition, and that it would be
wiser policy for the owners to drain into the
Sixth street sewer.
The latter plan was objected to by Mr.
Sherman on the grounds of additional ex-
pense and that the last named sewer was in.
sufficient for his purpose.
After an extended discussion a permit to
connect with the sewer was granted on con
ditions that the connections should be regu-
lated to prescribed extent by the proper
authorities.
The clerk was directed to give the first
notices on the assessment for grading Car
rol street from Western avenue to Mackubin
street.
The engineer submitted plan for the
opening of Iglehart street from Mackubin to
Kent street. Referred to the member from
the Fourth ward. Adjourned.

WILLIAM ALLEN DEAD.

We are panied to record the death, yes.

"Old Bill Allen," as he was familiarly called
has of late years become a national charac-
ter. Though he was for many years promi-

promising Democrat, and occupied many
offices of honor and trust, he achieved ma
tional fame only few years ago, after he
had passed the allotted age of man, during
his incumbency of the gubernatorial office
of Ohio. He had become widely known
throughout the State for his bluff, hearty
manner, and in a campaign of unusual and
extraordinary excitement he vanquished his
opponent and wrested the State from Re-
publican hands. Since he has sur.
rendered the reins of power the Re.
publican party has had but one
term in the gubernational Office. In the
section in which he lived his word was law

"Old Bill Allen" His name was the syn.
onym for honesty and integrity in business
and for unflinching devotion to principle in
politics, and his administration of the
affairs of the State was characterized by the
most earnest and patriotic desire to benefit
the people. During his whole official caree,
he was remarked for his integrity, respected
for his incorporating fidelity to his con.
victions, honored for his earnest desire TO,
the good of the people.

but has always had time to utter
few words in defense of political princi-
pies which he deemed vital to the welfare of
the country. He was associated personally
with all the prominent statesmen of the last
thirty or forty years, and enjoyed the fullest
confidence of some of the most prominent
lights in the political armament. One of
his daughters is the wife of Senator Thur

between the two. He has died at ripe cid
age, full of honors. He was q man in the
highest sense of the word, and take him all

DAN. SICKLEs has come to the surface
once more. Where? Well, just where he
might be expected to turn up-where an
Office was liable to become vacant. He is in
Washington, and is understood to be an ap-
plicant for the position of secretary of war,
soon to be made vacant by the appointment
of McCrary to the bench. He may get the
Office, but is not absolutely sure of success.

THE EXTRA SESSION.
Meeting of the Committee on Order of
Business.
4 DISAGREEMENT.

WAsHISGToN March % The committee
appointed by the house and senate democratic
caucuses To make recommendations concern
ing the order of business for the extra SEES
sion, held Joint meeting Saturday of five
and one half hours duration. Thurman pre-
sided
The first question discussed was whether
the political legislation desired by the domi-
nahl party in congress should be effected by
the passage OF a separate measure or by in
corporation of repeating clauses, etc, in APP
preparation bills. Nearly every one present
participated in the discussion, and it was H.
nally determined that the latter course would
be most cxpcdient. especially for the reason
that it seemed likely to save time, there be-
ing general desire to finish the necessary
business of the session as early as it was pos
sible
The next question considered was whether
the political portions of the appropriation
bills should now be passed in the same terms
III winch they were passed at the last session
or whether repeating clauses regarding the
federal election laws should be modified so as
10 repeal only those sections which authorize
the appointment of chief supervisors and
deputy marshals for elections, together with
sections comforting police powers on super
Nis'rs. thus continuing the authorization for
in' appointment pl TWO SUPERVISORS Of diner
ent politics to serve in testimonial capacity
at each poll as witnesses of the count Of the
votes.
After an exhaustive discussion it was de-
cided to recommend the adoption of the mod
flied proposition above described
The joint meeting proceeded to consider
the question whether the Legislation of the
present session should be strictly confined to
the appropriation bills, including the meas
urcs above indicated or whether general
business should not be transacted bv either
house when not engaged on an appropriation
bill.
y decided majority of the senate caucus
committee favored the restriction of the bust
ness of the session to appropriation bills and
to enactment of what is known as '.vcllow
fever bill" 4 majority of the house COM
mittce insisted that opportunity for transact
ing general business should be improved with
out however prolonging session after the APP
preparation bills were disposed Of
1t was decided to report the disagreement
on this subject to Joint caucus, and leave
the settlement of the question to a majority
of democratic members of both houses
