THE WORD WAS RUSH
The City Council Gets a Move
on Itself.
THE EIGHTH WARD QUESTION.
1t is Again Deferred Until the Next Meet
ins-Matters Hurried Through With
Neatnsss and .Dispatch-Pro-
ceedings of the Session.

The proceedings of the council last night
were characterized by swiftness and dis
patch, totally unlike that of the session OF
Tuesday night. The body seemed seized
with a desire to transact the greatest
amount of business in the least time
resolutions, etc, We're disposed
of was a caution. With the exception of
the discussion of the annexation of the
Eighth ward, nothing of great moment was
brought up, most Of the business being the
reading of petitions and resolutions by the
secretary and the receiving and referring OF
same to the different committees.
The question of the annexation of the
Eighth ward was brought up and was about
to be again laid on the table for future de-
ciSion, when Alderman Armstrong arose
and entered remonstrance against the
further pcstponement of action On the
matter, giving as his reason for doing so
that the people of that part of the city,
as well as other parts, were anxious for
some disposition and settlement of
the question. Some legal question arose
during the debate, and in the absence of
the city attorney IL was laid on the table
till some subsequent meeting. After this
disposition of the matter for this meeting.
ID. S. Ross, a voter i'll the proposed anneya-
ton, arose and asked permission to read
certain documents that might throw more
tAShs oA PiO,CculhSo Vi VIC ieiSb
in reference 30 the annexation. The priv
lege was gr3nted him and he proceeded at
length TO shSw why the petition should not
be granted fgiving as the principal reason
that larke number of names which were
signed tSthe petition were illegally signed
aDd wire names of persons who had not the
fesst right to vote on the question. He even
averred in his statement of the facts
that one of the signers of the petition was
now dead, and was dead at the time of the
placing of his name to the document that
others were non-residentS, some OF them
living anywhere from the Panhandle to the
Rio Grande, and closed his paper with a
TRADE against the illegality OF the whole
proceedings and request that his remon-
STRANGE be filed. The document was wordy
affair, exceedingly humoroua, and caused
considerable laughter among the council
men.
Immediately after Mr. Ross yielding the
floor he was followed by S. S. Potts, who
was as ardently in favor of annexation as the
former gentleman was against it. He took up
certain points of Mr.. Ross statements con
corning signerS of the petition and in rather
an excited manner stated in SO many words
that they were untrue. 1t looked for awhile
like there might be trouble, but
none, however, occurred. As stated above
the consideration OF the matter was post
poned in Difference to the advice of the CITY
who thought it best to take no
action i'll the matter further than TO refer it
back to the voters of the district.
