nent SchuetZens, and, of course, could not
attend the Board meeting on that night
Last night it was thought that the
Board would positively meet, and there
was some talk of Councilman Snyder
voting for DR.. Simon for City Physician.
The Board did not meet, however.
Among those who left on the excursion
of St. JoSeph's Lyceum yesterday was
Councilman Snyder. and that settled it;
there would be no meeting. At the
regular meeting hour Councilman

celet Of the one combine were on hand.
Councilman Stanton was also in the
meeting room, but refused to go inside
the railing. He agreed to go in session ii

combine refused to promise, and then
