THE CITY COUNCIL.
The first regular meeting of the city
council for more than month past was
held last night. Some time ago a resolu-
tion was passed by the council calling upon
the absent members to either return to the
city or tender their designations, in order to
leave the council free and untrammelled to
fill their places and in order that the public
business might be transacted without diff
Guilty. Of the six members absent from
city and state, a reply in accordance with
the resolution was received only from Coun-
Gilman Talbot, which was addressed to Act
ing Mayor Gerow, and which embraced
Councilman Talbott's resignation, which
was laid before the board. 1t was the
unanimous sentiment of the members pres
ent that, inasmuch as Councilman Talbot
was the only absent member who displayed
manlineSs and courtesy enough to even
reply to the communication excepting let
ter of explanation from President Archibald,
that it would be unjust to accept his
resignation, especially as the acceptance
of his single resignation would in no wise
benefit the council or enable them to act at
present Thereupon, on motion of Council
man Wright, the recorder was instructed
to return the resignation of Councilman
Talbot, with the information that his un-
selfish action is highly appreciated, and the
council under the circumstances, declines
to accept it.

Councilman Webster, was also unanimously

NO NEW FEATURES.
The situation to-day presents no new
features, the subject uppermost in the pub
lie mind being the death of Col. j. j. Daniel.
He had been a resident of Jacksonville since
1912. and no man in the state was more
highly esteemed for ability, integrity, pub
lie spirit and moral worth. He was a MEM
Ter of the law firm of Fleming & Daniel,
the leading attorneys of Florida, one of the
Junior members of the firm, Capt. Frank
p Fleming, being the democratic can
didate for governor The banks
have been closed during the day, many
buildings draped in mourning, and busi-
ness generally suspended. Any bright
features which the situation presents are
dimmed by the gloom and grief consequent
upon the death Of this large-hearted man.
There is a movement on foot 70 raise
fund for the erection Of monument 70 the
memory of Col. Daniel The Times Union
