COUNCIL GOES TO DOVER
THIRTEEN CITY FATHERS
TAKE A TRIP.
INFORMAL MEETING LAST NIGHT
Some Wordy Talk, but no Plan of Action
Decided UpOn-ThOse Awful Amend
monts.

As stated yesterday call was issued by
President Conrad, early in the morning, for
an "informal meeting" of City Council to
be held last evening to consider the proposed
amendments to the city charter. The
aVowed idea was to secure, If possible, the
| sentiment of Council, as body, so that the
| differences of opinion might be adjusted
and the members could appear at Dover
with some definite plan. The real object,
however, was to get the Democratic side of
the house to con- nit themselves.
At O'Clock tE \ members, with the ex
ception OF President Conrad, who il still
suffering very much with his eyes and
Messrs. johnson, Gruhb, File, Quinn and
Menton, assembled in the Council chamber.
Mr.. Paynter was chosen chairman
Printed copies OF the amendments were
distributed on the desks and on motion they
were taken up for discussion. After two
or three minor changes had been passed
over and accepted" by the Republican side
OF the house, the proposed muni-
cipal court scheme was reached. That
proved a stickler and eventually broke up
the meeting, with one or two exceptions ali
the Democratic members leaving the room.
A rambling debate followed the reading of
the amendment. Mr.. Garrett and Mr..
Blake engaged In very spirited and some
what acrimonious discussion, while other
members took hand. Mr.. Talley favored
the House amendment.
After an hours session, which virtually
amounted to nothing, the body adjourned,
if anything wider apart than ever in their
differences of opinion.
This morning the following members left
at BIO for Dover, accompanied by Bailiff
Clayton and Clerk Fraim: Messrs. Abele,
Bailey, Beecher, Baugh, Smith, Paynter,
Denny, Garrett, Talley, Moore, Quinn,
Eastburn and McKenna.

A SOCIAL SENSATION.
A Young Now Yorker Runs Away with
an Actress After Bankrupting His Firm.

A Young New Yorker Runs Away with
an Actress After Bankrupting His Firm.
New YORK, April 9.-Considerable of a
sensation was caused this afternoon in bust
ness circles by the announcement that the
buckle and button house of Williston
Knight & Co., of Nos. IA and rs Worth
street, had made an assignment to John NJ.
Wardwell, with no preferences. William
M. Bliss, president of the Central National
Bank, at Pearl street and Broadway, said
that early in February last it was learned
that Mr.. II. Williston Knight, son of the
senior partner of the firm (Mr. Knight hay
ing been dead fol: some time and who was
treasurer of the company had been
appropriating money from the firms funds.
The money which he took amounted in all
to SIS, 900, and it is understood was lost in
wild speculation. Under these circum-
stances it became necessary for the son to
sever his connection with the firm. The
firms paper has been steadily depreciating
ever since, until at length 1t was found
necessary to make an assignment. Young
Knights whereabouts could not be learned.
From another source it was learned that
young Knight has fed to Europe and was
accompanied by an actress.

"IOLANTRE." Z"
A Good Performance at the Opera House
Last Night.

Rice's Opera Company, in "Iolanthe" at
tracted large audience to the Opera House
last evening. The opera, while not as
Catching" as many of Gilbert & Sullivan's,
still has a number of parts which met with
the hearty approval Of the audience. Miss
Ide Mule, as Phyllis, carried off the honors.
Her singing and acting are pleasing.
Loldnthe, by Miss Rose Dana, was well given.
The Fairy Queen, Miss M. A. Sanger, was
one of the strongest parts of the opera.
Miss Sanger has a remarkably heavy voice,
which she manages cleverly. Her solo in
the second part met with a hearty encore.
The three leading fairies Celia, Leila and
Fletd were as lively as mortal fairies could
well be, and succeeded in making several
"dudes" sitting near the stage, act like
boobies. The Earl Of Mount AGrdt sus-
tanned his character splendidly and
has very good voice. The
Fart Of 1olloller acted well, but
has remarkably weak voice for solo sing
ing, yet does well in part singing.
The finest of singing was the quartette,
''In Friendships Name, between Phyllis,
Lord Lolloller. Earl of M. Adrdt, and pri
vate Wallis, of which an encore was giveI
heartily. Taken all through the opera was
well rendered. The chorus was weak in
several parts, but being well drilled, man
| aged the scene between the Peers and th'
Fairies admirably. Strephon was pleasing
