The Committee on JanitOrs recommended
| that the position of jantress of the Peabody
| Primary School be declared vacant, and that
Mrs. Mary McAulffe be elected to the
vacancy
Hyde wanted to know the reason OF u e
proposed removal.
Brooks replied that he supposed it was on
the principle that to the yictors belong the
spoils. The janitress whom it was proposed
to remove was probably the wife or sis
ter Of Democrat, and was to be replaced by
the wife or sister of Republican.
Hyde said that the women were not per-
mitted to vote and presumably not in poll
ties. BE was opposed to removing any
janitress without cause, and demanded to
know if any complaint had been made
against the janitress of Peabody School
No reply.

was removed and Mrs Johanna Foley ap-
pointed to the position.
Harvey said in relation to the last men,
| toned change that he was opposed to re-
| moving any woman without cause; but such
matters are supposed 10 be inquired into by
| the Committee on Janitors, and he didn't
feel disposed to go back on that committee
| report. He voted TO remove the Peabody
! school janitreSs, although no charge was
| made against her.
The Recommendations made by the Board

| lished in full in THE CALL of Sunday and
| Wednesday last were approved.

class and A. j. Freese (by SewelD to the

THE o'CoNNoR CASE.
| The subject next considered was the
| OC0nnOr case, and 1t preclpltated c0ntro-
versy more or less acrimonious throughout
Decker as Chairman of the Rules and
| Regulations Committee, stated that he was
| prepared TO make full report of the in
vestigation and submitted recommends
| lions.
President Sabin ruled that the report
could not be presented unless signed by a
majority of the committee.
This took the wind entirely out of Deck
| erS sails because only TWO names were
signed to the report. II is known
| that he had prepared resoiu-
ton completely generating O'COnuor
! and reinStatng him. II was further
intimaIed that President Sabin knew this,
and, being opposed to it, ruled it out.
| Decker was allowed, however. to present
! tine bare facts IN the case, the same as pub
| liShed at the time of the invest gatiUn that
| resulted in suspending 0COnuor. The re-
| port was received and filed.
| Harvey moved tina: the charge against
| O'COnnOr be referred to the board as a
| Committee of the Whole for further inyesti-
| cation.
| AN INVESTIGATION WANTED.
Hyde moved to amend by referring all the
| charges to the board in such committee, and
that a full investigation be had. Let all
complaints be made in writing.
| Woodward Indignantly exclaimed that
| there were no Charges" and pronounced
| the motion disgraceful
Hyde maintained that the press had made
| many charges aside from tina kinsman af-
| fair, and he was in favor of a thorough and
! searching investigation. If Mr.. OConnor
was found guilty of the many things said
| against him he should be removed, il not he
| should be hOnorably acquitted.
| Harvey replied that he did not go to the
press and public for his material. The one
| charge now under consideration was all The
committee had anything to do with.
Dunn interrupted Hyde two or three
times by calling The previous question, and
accused Hyde of trying to get free adyertis-
| ing through the newspapers.
Hyde's only reply was contemptuoUs
scowl.
APPLAUSE AND Kisses.
All the speeches were applauded and
Kissed by the lobby and gallery TIL it be-
gan to look like storm. The Presidents
threat TO clear the room if order was not
| preserved had but little effect in checking
the Interruptions
Hyde's amendment received but fouI
votes, President Sabln voting in its favor.
| Harney'S original motion was carried,
and the investigation by Committee of the
Whole will be held next MONDAY night in
one of the eourt-rooms.
