WAS THERE THAT MORNING.

Officer Daum, in addition tothis story
and that OF the removal OF the persons
found in the house to the lookup and
the chiefs coming up and letting them
out, told oiseeing the chief in tho house
the morning before the raid. He said
that Officer Desmond had called his ut
tention the night before the raid, about
half past eleven, to the fact that tho
CHIEF was in the house, but he did not
sec MIN himself at thar time. About 3
o'clock in the morning the two were
near the house together again, and
Desmond looked through the window at
Il broken slat, and said: 'There he is
now"
Daum looked, and Chief Dclbruggs
was sitting on the bed with only his
nnderslirt or. That was the only time
he had seen Delbrugge In the house

It may well be questioned if there
was ever a. piece OF work OF similar
magnitu dc which was finished rs sue.
ccssfully and smoothly as this arch. In
its progress there was not one serious
accident. When the last course OF
stone was laid the individual stones fit
us neatly as anything could possibly fit.
Every dimension stone was. exactly
correct when brought on the work, and
only IL stone had to be redressed, and
that was because one fell of the hooks
and was ruined.
The engineering work on the bridge
was in charge of City Engineer Frank
Hoge and his able assistant, A, L.
White. who have abundantly illustrated
their ability. S.. Bradley, OF Wiscon-

and no more faithful man was ever
employed on similar work. He was Mt

1t was said last night after tllcmcet.
Ing was over that Delbrugge proposed
to protest to Council against tho accept
ance OF the resignation and demand an
investigation. Little conception us he.
has shown Of his position, it is scarcely.
possible that he is gifted with obtuse-
ness enough to demand IN investigation
which can hurt nobody but himself
The committee, when it overlooked his
serious lapse from virtue before, was ac-
t,uated as much as by any motive by tho
desire to keep from stirring up 4 sean
dal which would do nobodv any good
and would produce a stencil in the nos
tr'ls OF the community. II D%elbrugge
insists upon. an inquiry all his past
oiiehscs, passed over in charitable
silence heretofore, will be given to the
tight OF day, and the weight OF the OBJ:
Io,quy will crush him. The officers

Charles Porter. On the north end Ed

was 4 race from the start as to who
wouldireach the center first, and owing
TO tho dropping OF one stone on the
north end Hills and his crow beat out
and were awarded the honor OF placing
the last stones. =
The finish OF the arch was regarded

There was considerable rivalry to be

accompanied her husband, out last Sun
day. The first lady to cross tho arch
after 1t was completed was Miss Agnes

THE COMMITTEES ACTION.

When the four officers had been in
quircd Of tho question came up on tho
proper action OF the committee. Mr..
Jefferson asked that the chiefs resigna-
ton be taken from the table, and this
was done by tho votes Of every one OF
the eight committeeman. 5g.
Mr.. Jefferson then moved that tho
resignation be accepted, and that this
action On the part OF the committee be
reported to the City Council with tho
recommendation that it be confirmed.
This action was also unanimously
adopted.
There was q question as to the right
Of the Council 10 act in the matter at q
special meeting, but the general opin-
ION was that the sooner the matter
could be disposed OF the better it would
be Tor all concerned, and us q pcrusal OF
the ordinance showed no reason that
the necessary action should not be
taken at especial meeting. it was de-
cided 10 call a meeting Of the City
Council for this evening, to accept tho
resignation and fill the vacancy. The
call was drawn up by Clerk Hanke and
signed by every member OF the COM
mlttec.

THE OFFICERS STORY.


Officers Carney, WIlkie, Buch and
Daum were summoned to appear, and
all were down stairs in the building.
Janltor John Howell acted as sergeant
alarms OF tho committee, and he
brought the officers named into the
room one at a time rs they were call
cd. They told about the same story
that has already been printed in the
lSTELLGGEScEr.
The officers said that on Tuesday
night they raided the house of May
Williams, on Eoff street. THE house
was surrounded, and Officers Carney
and Daum went in at tho back door.
The door leading into the front room
was locked, and Carney demanded that
it be opened. There was some delay,
but it was finally thrown open and the
chief OF police and May Williams found
in the room. Carney told her to got on
her clothes and come along to the lock.
up, but Delbrugge told them not to take
her, saying that she should not go to
the lookup. Carney said the officers
we're there for that purpose, and she
should go. The chief deiied any officer
to take her, and reached Tor his hip
pocket as il to get his pistol, but he had
left his revolver on the mantel and Car
ney had picked it up and put it in his
" pocket.

At eighteen minutes after two o'clock

Wheeling creek was lowered into its
place in tho structure by the big der.
rick, amid cheers from tho multitude
and the blowing OF steam whistles.
1t was expected that tho event would
occur early in the afternoon, and ever n
larger crowd than usual had gathered
in tho vicinity, many prominent citi.
zcns being in the assembly. 1t was
about noon when the first stone OF tho
last course, the keystone row, was set
on tho western end Of tho row. The
work was pushed from that on, and all

Meet this Evening.

A great deal more than the usual in.
terest attached to the meeting OF tho
Council committee on police last night.
Tho Hobbies OF the city hail, upstairs
and down, were crowded with friends OF
tho chief Of police and friends Of people
who would like TO wear his shoes, with
pretty good sprinklins OF people who
were nobody's friends in particular,
but wanted to prevent tho appointment
OF certain aspirants. The visitors had
their troublo for their pains, for moth
ing wns done toward filling the position.
Al the eight members OF the com.
mittec, Mcssrs. Klein, Zarnits, Marsh,
Jefferson, Mycr, Warneckc, O'Kanc
and Chairman Happy, were promptly
OH hand, and the city solicitor was also
present.
The committee took the testimony OF
the officers who recently raided the
house Of i'll fame OF May Williams, and
found Chief Delbrugge there, and then
accepted the resignation placed in It's
hands at the time OF the last inquiry
into Dclbrugge's conduct.
RuMoIs OF RESISTANCE.
Tho interest in the meeting was not a
little heightened by tho report, very
generally circulated yesterday, that
Chief D~clbruege would make n fight.
1t was stated that he claimed that he
was present in the house on legitimate
business, connected with an attachment
OH the furniture, but this would not
have had any weight after tho tcsti-
mony taken by the committee. Still
there was n great deal OF curiosity to
know what course he would puraue, and
it was known that he vas served with n
notice to be present at the meeting of
the committee. lie was not there, and
this was thought little strange. After
the meeting 1t was stated on his behalf
that he was in his office ali the time the
committee was in session, and expected
to be summoned to appear before the.
meeting when the members were ready
to hear him. There was no proposition
10 hear him, however, as the committee
thought it had heard enough.
