The council, having very little else to
occupy its attention last evening, spent
| nearly a half hour in an earnest dis
| cuSSion of the relative merits and quail
fications of two candidates for the posi-
ton of bridgekeeper at the Franklin
avenue bridge. The committee on
roads and bridges reported in favor of
George E. Woodruff, and Aid. Nc
Gowan moved to amend by substituting
! the name of William Fuer. A long dis
cussiOn ensued, in which it was shown
that both were elderly men and unfit
for heavy labor, that both were highly de-
serving, and that both were old soldiers.
| The amendment was finally adopted.
The committee on railroads reported
recommending that the petition of IL.
W. Foote and others, asking that the
| street railway company be required to
run every other car OH the First avenue
south line out Thirty-first street to Hen
nepin avenue be granted. Aid. Bar
rows submitted communication from
| Supt. Goodrich, of the street railway
company, asking that the matter be re-
ferred back to the committee in order
| that he might be heard and moved that
the request be granted. This motion to
recommit was lost and the report of the
committee adopted.

and pay rolls, amounting to $4,000,

On motion of Aid. Kiichli the former

ton, payable from the contingent fund.

Aid. Bradish announced thata gentle
man from the Eighth ward had just eX-
pressed to him desire to obtain the
unanimous consent of the council to
"give that body HI" He had no
sooner finished speaking than Aid.
| Woodward exclaimed in emphatic tones,
IL move the gentleman be heard" The
! gentleman from the Eighth stepped
forth, and was about to begin his inter-
esting performance when Aid. Parry
interposed an objection, and he was
| forced to retire.
| He sent out later and secured box
of "Chancellor" cigars, which were
passed around and Aid. Parry having
thus been squared. withdrew his OBJ
| lection. This time, however, Aid. Hun
| ter objected, and the gentleman was still
| forced to remain silent.

| the use of lawn sprinklers came up and
was amended to prohibit sprinkling be-
| tween the hours of a. m, and 5 p. IN.
and later than 10 p. III. 1t was then re-
| ferred back to the committee.

the fire department for their bravery in
handling the fire of Thursday, and a
vote of sympathy to the unfort innate
ones who were injured at that time.
