DEATH OF ALLEGHENY COUNCILS.
at a Meeting Last Night-Close of Both
Common and Select Councils.

All Of the Unfinished Business Disposed of
at a Meeting Last Nisht-Close of Both
Common and Select Councils.
Allegheny Councils died last night and
the desks were cleared of all unfinished
business of Importance. All matters that
were not disposed of will have to be introduced
again when the new Councils organize next
month. After approving of the business from
the Select branch Common Council held asort of
a love feast as is customary, the retiring men,
bers being given an opportunity to say some
thing. Mr.. Gerwig was called on first and
made speech on trusts and monopolies. He
condemned them in very emphatic language
and said they were running the country and
also mentioned that Allegheny City was in
danger He did not mention the name of any
corporation, but his defeat for reelection Is al
tributed to the influence used against him by a
certain company.
Mr.. F. B. Smith, who was not candidate for
reelection and whose term expires, said he had
been member of Councils for four years. Be-
fore he was elected he had heard OF a ring"
but was unable to find one. The men who are
accused of being ringsters, he claimed, did
more good for their constituents than the
'kickers" or reformers.
Short addresses were also made by MeSsrs.
Hiram Landis, Charles MuehIbronner, Henry
G. Shaving. George Schad, A. ]. Chambers and
Henry C. Bittner.
a reSOluGlOn OF tnanke 10 Sna1rman 1unCer,
Clerk Dilworth and Page Hunter was unani-
mously adopted, and Common Councils ad-
journed sine die.
II the Select branch the Controllers report
showing that bills amounting to S33, 454 II had
been paid during the month, was approved.
The ordinance relative to telegraph and tele-
phone poles was called up. Common Council
had amended it by providing that the poles
should be painted white instead of dark green,
as had been originally provided. The ordinance
was again laid over.
The action of Common Council in lighting
the city with electricity was not concurred in,
but all papers bearing on the matter were sent
back to the Gas Committee. Mr.. Henrieks
said if it had not been for the recent city
election this question would have been settled
long ago.
The ordinance awarding the contract for the
removal of dead animals to DR.. Czarniecki, at
81, $50 year, failed. Some of the Councilmen
thought the figure was too high, although it
was explained that DR.. CzarniecH was the only
bidder and might double his figures, they voted
against it Unless DR.. Czarnecki bids again
the city will be compelled to remove the dead
animals from the streets with its own employees.
The ordinance preventing the use of the
First ward Diamond square for private busi-
ness, except by farmers, passed. A resolution
instructing the Wharfmaster to have the
building of the Peoples Gas and Pipeage
Company on the wharf at Federal street re-
moved. was passed.
