A Especial meeting Of Council was called
yesterday afternoon for last evening, and
Notwithstanding the shortnessiof the mo-
tice and the disagreeable weather of last
night there was a large attendance in both
branches. The meeting was called for the
purpose Of allowing the First Branch to
pass the ordinance passed by the Second
at It's last meeting, entitled ''Anordinance
10 keep the disbursements OF the city Of
Wheeling within the limits Of its reve-
nues," and the Second was called SO as TO
be able take action on any changes that
the First might make.
In the First Mayor Grub presided and
the absentees were Messrs. Donaldson,
Happy, Kenney, Schultze and Dr.
Wingerter. The ordinance was amended
on motion OF Mr.. Myles by striking out VI
section s all Of that portion prescribing
that the Water Board and Gas Trustees
shall before the first day Of June pay into
the treasury OF the city the whole amohnt
| OF money with which they shall then be
chargeable for the use OF the city, and that
after such payment no money shall be dis
bursed from the treasury in behalf OF the
Board Of Trustees except as provided Tor
in the ordinances by checks, etc. and al
ter tho above payment has been made me
Board and Trustees are to pay into the
treasury on the 10th of each month al
moneys collected by them for the use Of
the city or any Of It's boards, departments
or agencies, and all expenditures incurred
by the Board Of Trustees shall be paid gu;
OF the treasury Of the city only on order
Mr.. Myles' motion prevailed by . vote

Jones and Tracy-9.

brugge, Cruise, Miller, Pickett, Scott
Stanley, Smith, Weir and President
Sweeney-11.
It was then resolved to appoint a COM
mittee Of conference and ask the First %
do the same. The chair named Messrs'
Caldwell, Cruise and Hildreth as such
committee from this branch. Mr.. Caid'
well moved that President Sweeney be
added to the committee, and started to put
the motion, but these unusual proceed
ings brought heother side to its feet. The
chair .endeavored to have MIR. CaldweLl
withdraw his motion, which he finally
did. Mr.. Cruise then wanted to resign
and have the chair substituted in his
stead, but that scheme did not work by {!
vote Of Ii TO 8, Mr.. Sweeney voting mo
very decidedly. The First Branch adj
journed without appointing its members
Of the conference committee.
While the Second Branch was waiting
for the First 10 dispose Of the ordinance
relating TO the revenues OF the city, II
amused itself by having considerable fun
over resolution offered by Mr.. Hearne,
suspending tho rule prohibiting smoking
during the session. Mr.. Caldwell amend:
ed BY making the rule suspended for oil
time. Speeches innumerable were made
and some were full Of genuine wit. The
original motion finally prevailed and soon
after the chamber was full OF tobacco
smoke.
There was another racket in this Branch
over resolution offered by Mr.. Delbrugge
instructing the Committee on Ordinances
to present an ordinance increasing the j.
cense on skating Kinks from $50 to $500
per annum. Mr.. Weir moved to amend
by making 1t $500; Mr.. Cruise to make II
slE0. The resolution was finally adopted
4 instructing the committee to report an or.
tdinance increasing the license on Kinks
no specific amount being named.
A petition from st. Paul's Church and
Others in the Eighth ward asking Coun-
Gil to make an appropriation to be used in
caring for tho clock in the tower Of the

number of years past by tho congregation,
was referred to the Committee on Peti'
tons for a report.
