Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1879-06-25

whole matter was finally referred 10 the
Committee o Water Works.
Adjourned 20 Friday night.
Not on the Minutes.
II was the richest meeting ever held;
not in work, for there was none to be
done, but in fun. \ hllbustering
scheme TO keep the Branch in session
until the First should send down the
street cleaning ordinance, was IN opera
tion and the sounds Of laughter that
toated out occasionally were little cal
culated to impress outsiders with the
belief that a Council was in session.
Kimberly, Larkin and Pollock were the
end men, assisted occasionally by others.
Larkin didn't want real estate owners
10 work out their taxes on the streets,
and upon this proposition Kimberly
had few words 10 say. He had been
..looLiro upon the street force and saw
". Gods, could ne believe his eyes
q toilnr. Il baker and 4 shoemaker work
ing away, Yes, men oil that sort squah-
dcring away the money set apart Tor the
streets, men that could not do days
work, men that never went from be-
meath the shade OF root; and
here were plenty Of the horny handed
sons of toll, giants of strength, lying
around doing nothing. BY the gods! 1t
doth amaze mew and he sat down from
sheer lack of breath.
Between this and the next amusing
scene Larkin moved fourteen times TO
adjourn and rose TO eleven points OF
order.
When the question of carrying water
into the Peninsula Cemetery came up;
Kimberley again climbed to his leet ana
scared out OF sight in telling OF the al,
vantaccs Of a Cincinnati cemetery ana
of how valuable this City's graveyard
was. said 1.-THE gentleman from the gar
den spot" Mr.. PolluCk-"Oh, yes, ITS
all right 10 water these graveyards unul
they blossom like the rose, ctsettery, but
where are YOU going To get your money!
These horny handed fellows don't come
down SO quickly with their taxes.
NlcNash, excitedly,-"I am horny
handed man, and have been since was
80 Old" measuring off about three leet
from the floor
Pollock said he only meant the So
called hornv-handed fellows, men that
said they were, but whose hands were
n soft rs their heads, and as lac sat
down he murmured something about
sam Carey and Jack Chandler.
Then came the salary ordinance,
which was banded between the two
Branches like a loot ball. \ PROPOSE
ton to appoint conference committee
was lost, and Larkir moved to adjourn,
then TO take a recess, and then rose to
point of order. Finally, some one
moved To file the papers, which the
Chair would entertain for lack OF some
thing better to do" So that was dis
posed OIL
Then l.arkin offered a resolution, and
after the vote was decided, wanted Il Ill
vision of the house after this manner,
with Il falling infection at each pause:
"Mr. President, sir; asked for q dlYlS-
ion, sir. and before you decided the
question. sir: and | think, sir, you
should not allow discussion durlnga
vote; and when | call iot 4 division, sir,
loI should put il, sir.
DIR. Rrevcs-"Mr President, ] object
10 this lccturing the chair and l move
Mr.. l.arkin take the chair.
This covered Iarkin with confusion,
to hide which he moved to adjourn.
Lost, but hr demanded division and
rose to point OF order when it was not
done. Then recess was moved, but
lost. and the Chair announced recess
of five minutes. The gavcl raped IN
two minutes and Hamilton moved to
adjourn. This was lost, and another
recess was taken. An exciting debate
was in progress mp stairs and the mem
bcrs wandered up there. Thre. mem
brrs were lett in the Lower Chail'Der
and they adjourned.
