Protests In . Minority Report.
The regular meeting Of Council held
last evening, was largely attended and
notable for the long and amusing debates

strightening Caldwell's run, and on the
CONFIRMATION Of the appointments made
by the Gas Trustees. Both propositions
we're again turned down.
The Second Branch was called 10 order

c1LpwELL's RUS.
Mr.. Cruise moved to take up the Cald-
wells run matter, but his motion was re-
jected by a vote OF IA to 10.
After Inc reading OF CLERK Bowers hnan-
cial report CAldWell's run was sgain
brought up, this time by Col. Caldwell.
He referred to the irresponsible serb.
blers" who had been filling the columns OF
the press OF the city withaYuments against
the plan and hoped that their tallacy had
been apparent.
Mr.. Cruise, Mr.. Peterson, Mr. Hi!dretl,
Mr.. Harrell, Mr.. Stanley and DR.. Mccoy
all made remarks on this matter, MessrS:
Cruise and Mccoy speaking in favor Of
the plan proposed by the Board OF Public
Works. In the remarks made by the
Others Col. Caldwell thought somebody
had impughed his motives, and at the
conclusion Of the talk rose and announced
that the man who impugned his motives
was a liar, and declared that the truth
was not in him. An aye and nay vote was
called for and the Branch again refused to
take up the matter by q vote OF fourteen
to twelve.
THE GAS TRUSTEES APPOINTMENTS.
Mr.. Tracy called for the reports from
the Gas Trustees. There were two Of
them ON the Presidents desk, both sealed.
One was from Messrs. Rolf and Seeley,
who nominated Hon. B. L. Butcher "a
Secretary, Mr.. Harry @. Franzheim as As
sistant, and Mr.. Jonas O. Picket as Collec-
tor. The other was from Mr.. Jepson, the
other Trustee. His appointments were as
follows: Mr.. George He'll as Secretary,
Mr.. Harry @. Franzheim as Assistant, and
Mr.. Samuel Faris as Collector. The ma
iority asked Council not TO introduce Q
hboycott" against citizens not born in this
city by again refusing to confirm Mr..
Butcher. They were Of the opinion that
such narrow, ill.advised, un-Americ'n
idea was not characteristic OF Wheeling
people and did not represent their senti-
ments.
Mr.. IEPsoS AGAIN PROTESTS
Mr.. Jepson in his communication in ad.
dition to his former protests said: ~ sub.

overheard for having the courage, under
threats OF dismissal to declare himself, an
applicant for the first place In the office
And shall Mr.. Faris be cast adrift because
he is BsauRiOrtunate az to be honest, eff
Gent and conscientious"
