When the charges against the Mayor
were read, this was recognized by the bet
ter element as the desperate game Of {
dying gang. They caused general blush
OF shame that even Porter Smith coulc
descend to such depths in his efforts Il
'tpet even" with his accusers. Smith him
self. lost to decency as no must be, had
not the hardihood to stay and face the Ell
feet OF his slanderous charges, but with
the air OF o craven he skunk from the
Council chamber when the matter was
approached. -,
Previous TO this he had been one OF the
prominent features in the room, and was
made more 80 by the appearance in the
chamber early in the proceedings OF James
B. fancy, general manager Of the Register,
who took seat beside tho disgraced Off
cial, presumably for the purpose OF giving
him his moral support.
On the streets after the knowledge Of
the charges became public there was no
expression heard among decent people
but indignation and seoRn for the author
OF the foul charges. The Germans who
wese interested in the July StangerfsSt
were especially and justly angry at the
way that memorable event was dragged
into the charges. il was pointed out that
Il the managers OF the test Violated any
CITY ordinance, it was the duty Of the City
Sergeant to bring them to justice. This
charge 10 q confession OF his own incom'
petence and neglect duty.
Gentlemen who accompanied the Mayor
in his trip to Pittsburgh denounced this
attack as malicious and indecent beyond
precedent. Everybody else pronounced
It outrageous, and deserving Of the most
emphatic eensure.

County Matters Before the Board.

At a regular monthly meeting Of the
Board Of County Commissioners yester-
day all the members were present except
Cant. Prince. Ths meeting was largely
devoted to routine business.
Two reports were received from the
Committee on Joint occupacy of the late
Capitol, setting forth the terms upon
which the County could secure half Of the
building. These terms have already been
pnblisted. The report at once arrayed
the city members against the. County
members, aud somo very acrimonious
debate was INDUCED in, AT times the re-
marks wero extremely personal, aud OF
ali times very free and emphatic, Finally,
after all the old ground had been gone
over with subsoil pillow, the considera-
ton Of the matter was on motion Of Mr..
Maxwell postponed for one month, Mr..
Pickett alone voting against this.

that Burns had proved himself guilty Of
what was charged against him.
(, Mr.. Peterson. who had retained the floor
all this time, started 10 speak again.
3 busy BARNEY.
Barney GalligAn, who had taken con-
spicuous seat beside President Sweeney,
where he had no bnsiness TO be, during
Mr.. Peterson's remarks skipped over to
Frank Healy to whisper In his ear, then
to Frank Cruise, Harrell and Pickett.
Then he went back to Mr.. Sweeney and
proceeded TO buzz him; whether 1t was
acceptable TO that gentleman or not, he
failed to give Galligan any encouragement
Mr.. Peterson said that the adoption OF
the resolution would DO 8 reflection on
the members OF the COMMITTEES and the
Mayor. "Why," heasEed, care the friends
OF Porter Smith showing such incorporate
haste to atop the investigation being made
by the Committee on Police? THEY are
not true friends Of Porter Smith. II l
were he would say, 60 on. lmputations,
II not charges, have been made against
him-do you want 70 whitewash him
bslieve the Mayor was guided by proper
motives. The committee is one Compe-
tent to mako report. Its members
know whether they have specific charges
before them or not. Why we are called
on to act in this manner can't sse."
Mr.. Pickett disclaimed being the friend
Of Porter Smith or being there in the in
terest OF anyone, or to needlessly perse-
cute. Mr.. Harrell claimed that when he
took his oath it was to do justice to every
body.
A vote was then called for and the ayes
and nays demanded. The question was

under pressure, changed his vote to aye

was such that the First was under the inn
preston when II adjourned that the sec
ond had already adjourned. This was
stated to be the fact bypersons who came
from the Second Branch.
AS 1t Is. another meeting ot the tirst
will be necessary to concur with the sec
ond in referring the charges, This meet
ing will be held at an early day.
THE FIRST BRANCH.
The First Branch came to order at $3.50,
with Mayor Grub in the chair and
Messrs. Bingell, Caldwell, Dobbins, Far
rell, Halter, Happy, Hoffman, ! Kenny,
Myles, McGregor and Wingerter present.
The meeting was not fairly under way
till Mr.. Wingerter demanded at whose in
Atigation this meeting was called. The
Mayor said he did not call it.
On motion Of Mr.. Caldwell the reading
OF the minutes Of the previous meeting
was dispensed with.
The paper from the Second branch in
reference to the police investigation was
then taken up.
Mr.. McGregor demanded the ayes and
noes, and they were ordered.
Messrs. Bingell, Caldwell, Farrell, Hap.
ply, Kenney and Myles voted aye, and
Messrs. Dobbins, Halter, Hoffman, Nc
Gregor and Wingerter no. So the resolu-
ton stopping the inquiry was adopted by
vote Of Q to5.
MR.. HOFFMAN EXPLAINS.
Mr.. Hoffman explained his vote. He
said that in the Second branch charges
had been preferred against the Mayor by
way OF retaliation. Since 1t was appar-
emily the intention to have some further
investigation, he thought 1t was best to 20
clear to the bottom and learn the exact
truth. He intimated that it mad been his
intention to vote to stop the police inquiry
until he learned OF the charges against the
Mayor. Then he had changed his mind.
Mr.. Wingerter also took occasion to ex.
plain his vote. He said il Captain Smith
were really as Innocent as his friends
claimed he would demand an investiga-
ton himself. At any rate, 1t was but just
that the truth should be known TO the
public. lie therefore voted to continue
the investigation.
This Branch concurred with the Second
in confirming the appointment Of W. B.
Lukens as Deputy Sergeant, and ad.
iourned before the charges against the
Mayor came from the other Branch.

Mr.. Hildreth, continuIng-~"It they feal

OF this Branch directs 1t to. 1t is non.
sensical to take the matter out Of the com.

no reason for It." r
Mr.. Gruse-"We have ample reason
there are no specific charges. The man
against whom there were charges is down

ciac charges and let them suffer II the
charges are proven U
Mr., Harrell at this IunctuFo made ole

Mr.. Pickett spoke again, repeating what
he had said before and Mr.. Harrall again
spoke about the Illegally Of Z wholesale

chair TO say that the Mayor did not have
to swear to charges he might make?"
Mr.. Sweeney again presented hig views
clearly and plainly, which Mr.. Pickett
was iinsble to "catch onto" and talked
about an appeal.

position, whom Mr. Pickett Interrupted.
