Inthe Upper Branch Attorney General.
elect Alfred Caldwell, member OF the
Branch from the First ward, rose This
wrath and jumped on the paper with both
feet. it was an insult to the State and 10
the Legislature; was wrong all the way
through and should be set down on with q
dull thud. He made the walls Of the
chamber ring with his burning words Of
denunciation, and consideration OF the
paper was indefinitely postponed bya vote

THE satALLeoxcAsEs.
Last Nights Discussion In councIl-The
o. Mayors Report.
After the racket over the proposition
looking 70 the seeding Of the Panhandle
from West Virginia had ceased, thereport
Of Mayor Grub about The controversy
between himself and Health Officer Gar.
rison over the smallpox case OF Ann Ken
needy, who has since died, was read. The
Mayor stated that he made the report in
hopes that such action would be taken as
would be conducive to the welfare
OF the people and good government.
He then related the plain circum.
stances, giving numerous dates, begin
ming with the arrival here Of the
young woman, the discovery that she
had smallpox, the complaints that were
made about the Stops running out and
over the pavement, his visit Of inspec-
ton, etc. He gave a copy OF his order to
the Health Officer, which that official had
published, with his peculiar reasons for
not obeying the same. The Mayor in his
communication answered these reasons
In a very clear and concise manner. He
quoted from the ordinances, sections that
show his position in the case 10 have
been good one.
It having been read, Mr.. Tracy pre-.
sented a resolution appointing special
committee OF three from each branch to
investigate matters. A petition numer-
ously signed by residents on Chapline
street was also presented, asking that
something be done to prevent any more
Stops from the Kennedy house running
out on the pavement. Mr.. Tracy made a
few remarks about the state OF affairs, in
the course OF which he was understood to
say that DR.. Garrison had told him that
the water used in bathing the sick girl,
after being disinfected, had been thrown
out. After Council had adjourned DR..
Garrison stepped up to Mr. Tracy and
called him q liar for saying this. Mr..
Tracy replied that he (Garrison) was no
gentleman. and that his language proved
such to be the case. Then they separated.
Whether they will speak as they pass by,
remains to be seen.
Several were in favor OF allowing the
Doctor to address Council, but that was
not considered the proper thing to do.
Mr.. Caldwell called attention TO the fact
that underrule SO charges against nm Off.
Ger must be made in writing and sworn,to.
The chair called his attention to the fact
that the Mayor is a sworn official and that
1t was his place to exercise q supervision
over all Of the city's departments. Mr.
Caldwell then moved to lay the entire mat
ter on the tableuntil charges were made in
writing which motion was adopted, and
thus an important and vital matter was
disposed OF. ~ -aF 1r ,A6f
Mayor Grub was naturally disguised.
He said to reporter that he had not
written his communication with the idea
Of It's being series OF charges but merely
as report OF what he thought Council
ought to know.
In the lobby. there was talk about DR..
Garrison not being regularly educated
and practising physician, as the ordinance
prescribes that the Health Officer shall be,
and that therefore he should not hold the
office. DR.. Garrison is legally practising
physician under the State Board Of Health
laws. W. 155i
