assessment and collection Of taxes, and
although the revisers had gone over them
carefully they would like to do so again be-
fore Council took action on them.
Sections 1903 TO 108, inclusive, on registra-
ton of real estate within the city, were
passed as read. so was section 109, con-
cerning the election of a City Registrar Of
births, deaths and marriages.
On motion OF Mr.. Taliey 10 was decided
to reconsider the vote on section So and an
amendment was made and accepted by
which Council, In case of an extraordinary
appropriation being made, could borrow
money from the banks, or otherwise,
without incurring the penalties prescribed
by section 72. Section as amended adopted.
Mr.. Talley, at 9.25, moved 10 adjourn, but
ut the request OF Mr.. Quinn, withdrew his
motion, the latter gentleman desiring TO
make an explanation.
Mr.. Quinn then stated that he had seen
by the DELAWARE GAZETTE that the editors
had opened a subscription list TO provide
MIR. Garrett and himself with dictionaries.
He thanked them and said that out of the
fullnesR of the heart the mouth spoke. Mr..
Garrett and he had decided 10 return the
25 cents with which TO purchase q 25 cent
Bible for the "Tar heel editor Of the owl.
roost,' as the RepN6liedn called It." He did
not want q dictionary, but If the GAZETTE
did be would give them bis own Webster q
unabridged, lying open before him,
Mr.. Garrett then took the floor and re-
marked that he wished TO inform the della
WARE GAZETTE that he, Garrett, had not
been fortunate enongh to get more of an ed
ucatlon, and, so far as the GAzETTE was
concerned, It needn't bother itself to get q
dictionary for him.
Mr.. Bailey wished to know IL there was
anything before Council and several mem
bers started to leave the chamber.
Mr.. Quinn explained that hey were
speaking upon question Of privilege and q
personal explanation.
Mr. Garrett resumed by saying that the
idea of taking up him and Quinn was a
small sort Of thing, and u1called for All
he had got ia the GAZETTE he had expected,
and had done as he did "a he wanted to see
how far that paper would go. He didn't
care for himself, but the GAZETTE had
abused Mr.. Quinn shamefulIy, and he
wondered that the Democratic party stood
It. II was an outrage for any paper TO abuse
member of Council as the GAZETTE had
the member from the Second ward.
Mr. Quinn again spoke on the question Of
privilege. He was under no obligations 70
the GAZETTE, and did not care for the filings
Of It's editors and its cohorts. They were
vigorously made, but he did not care fol
himself He had q wife and 1t wasn'l
pleasant for her 10 read what was said about
him. 1t was an insult to his wife, and he
would slap the mouth Of the man who wrote
the article. He had put plenty OF money
into the Golfers of the GAZETTE in years gont
by. The article referred to said It had been
generous to him, the imputation being thai
he had been drunk upon the floor OF the
Council chamber. Que of the editors hac
better put sponge to his head himself.
He then branched of and said IL made nc
difference whether the back side of his pant
was worn out or not or the knees worn b.
praying. The recognition Of that fact wOulC
be creditable to the Rtaf Of the EverI
EsenIag because the brains left Il wheI
Croasdale went away.
