QUITE A TIME.
THE SECOND BRANCH OF COUNCIL FIGHT
ING ITS BATTLES OVER.
The Natural Gas Unplsasannss Again Bought
Up-The Extanen to Go Back
Soldiers Reunion.
Second Branch.


The Second Branch of the City Council
WAS called to order in regular session at
7:45 o'clock last evening, President
Sweeney in the Chair. Twenty. two mem
bers answered to their names, the only
absentees being Messrs. Clator, Mccoy,
Scott. Smith, Vockler and Yahn.
The minutes of the last two previous
sessions were read and approved, the job
being not completed until half past eight.
The Council Chamber was intolerably
close and warm, and members OF both
Branches eOngregated about the apartment
in LEGATIONS where fresh air was most
abundant and beguiled the time in CONVEX
sation. Some friends of a liberal NATURAL
GAS pressure took advantage of the Oppor-
tunity to count noses on the pending
question in that regard, and 1t was Joyiuily
announced that thirteen members were IN
favor of keeping the ordinance ON the table.
THE NATURAL GAS EPISODE.
When the reading of the minutes had
been concluded, the Chair took occasion
IN say that the record was inaccurate IN
regard to the episode Of the last session,
when Mr.. Jaeger had asked for hearing
for Messrs. Finn, Brockunier and Whit
aker. The record stated that:
"NIr. Jaeger moved that Messrs. Whit
aker, Finn and BrOckunier be heard on
the natural gas question"
The Chair contended that Mr. Jaeger had
merely stated that Messrs. Finn, Brock
dnier and Whitaker desired to be heard,
and he had responded, as is the universal
custom, that they would be heard II there
WAS no objection. Mr. Caldwell had OBJ
iected, when Mr., Jaeger had jumped to his
feet and said his request had been made
in the form of motion and had included
an invitation to the gentlemen to come in
side the rail.
Mr.. Jaeger insisted that he had made q
motion in the first place, and had done II
mt the request of Mr.. Tracy, who was APP
pealed to in substantiation OF the state
ment. Mr.. Tracy cOncurred in what Mr..
jaeger said, but the Chair insisted that he
understood the matter rs being made
merely in the form of Il request.
after some discussion Of the matter, the
record was allowed to stand, on motion OF
Mr.. Healy, and business was resumed.
PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Mr. Hildreth asked for suspension OF
the rules, and this being concurred IN, he
offered the following
Resoired, That the Use Of the chamber OF
the Second Branch be extended to the West
Virginia Press Association, which body
meets in this city August 3lst and Septem-
Der LIST and I'd.
Adopted unanimously.
