The session of the council on Tuesday
evening was not altogether harmonious
one by any means. On the contrary, deer
laid schemes had been mapped out fol
the purpose of working about revolu,
ton in the management of city affairs
and the new members seemed deter
mined to make their presence felt in the
first session following the reelection. Ole
precedents were to be overlooked and a
new policy pursued that was expected
of course, to cover the authors with glory
and redouned to the utmost satisfaction
of their constituents in hevarious wards
! Tie programme was opened with the
contest over the presidency. Alderman
Frank nominated Roos and Steinhausel
suggested the name Of Mr.. Pfaender. In
the ballot which followed, Pfaender,
Rudolph and Frank voted for Roos and
Roos, Steinhauser and Schubert expressed
their preference for PfHnder, whereupon
Mr.. Roos moved that Pfaender be made
the choice Of the council. This carried
and the new president at once took his
seat as presiding officer.
| The chief division, however, arose ov-
er the presentation of the Mayors APP
| pointments. That of Mr.. Eckstein as
city attorney was confirmed but Stein
hauser and Rudolph voted in the mega
tive and later in the evening Steinhausel
moved to reconsider the councils first
action and carried his motion with the
votes of Roos, Rudolph, Schubert and
himself. On the first ballot Frank, Roos
Schubert and Pfaender voted to confirm
the appointment.
The action on the appointment Of
Jonas Laudenschlager was somewhat
similar, only it did not form a part Of
the plan mapped out as stated above an6
owed its orr gion solely to the sentiment
in favor of the present incumbent. Al
first, Frank, Roos, Rudolph, Steinhausel
and the President voted to confirm, but
afterwards, upon motion of Alderman
Roos, the same gentlemen with the ex-
ception Of Steinhauser voted to recon
slider, SO that the appointments of both
Eckstein and Laudenschlager will re-
main in doubt, unless the mayor adheres
to his first decision, until the next meet
ing.
That of Jos. GALES for night-watch
was confirmed by a vote of five to one,
Steinhauser voting against, while that of
