Routine business was then taken up, during
which number of minor resolutions relating to
lights were adopted, and ordinances providing
for small improvements introduced. An ordi-
nance providing for lincensing bootolacks and
newsboys introduced, took the usual course,
while that looking to prohibiting fruit and yege
| table peddlers on Washington street was lost.
Charges against Dr. H. w. Wishard supern-
! Redpath. recently of the hospital staff, were
read and referred to the Board of Aldermen and
| Councilmen having charge Of that institution.
They allege that Dr. Wishard is negectfu Of
| the comfort health and rights of employees of
the institution; that he is grossly neglectful of
| the interest and welfare of the patients therein;
| that his personal habits and conduct in and
about the institution are bad, and make him unfit
| for the discharge OF the duties Of his position;
| that he willfuliy, and with gross careless
ness neglects and fails to make proper DISPOSE
! ton of the dead. These charges we're sworn to
! before William A. Foster. notary public. On
motion of Mr. Shepard the same board was di-
| rected to examine and report to Council the
| alleged fact of one Doctor Redpath having at
| tempted to bride one or more members of
| Council.
The mayor gave notice, with Mr.. Pearson in

Councilman James T. Bowling to appear before

bribery: This brought Mr. Downing to

with which the public is familiar through his
attorneys argument. He said he did not wish
to avoid trial but characterized what had been
done as illegal and prompted by spirit of petty
persecution. So long as this continued he would
maintain his defense, but the time would come
when he could speak, and what he is to say
would be of interest to everybody. Mr.. Dow
ling's remarks were tinged with bitterness re-
| garding his So-called prosecutors The chair
called him to order for remark or two in this
strain.
The mayor said his duty was clear, under the
| ordinance. and that the summons for trial was
in that fully provided for Mr.. Spahr did no,
think the proceedings were in proper shape fol

| of the committee had been acted on. Mr. Thai
man moved to adjourn until next Monday even
ing, which MIR. Coy sought to amend by making
the time two weeks from last night, which
| would bring it to the regular meeting of the
| board. Neither the amendment nor the original
| motion was put to vote, the time being taken UT
in argument suggested by the MAYORS and Mr.,
| Spahr's positions. When ii o'clock the chair
declared Council adjourned, to meet next Mon
