COMMON COUNCIL.

The regular meeting of the board was
called to order at S o'clock last even
ing, half an hour having been spent in
the assembling of a quorum.
A communication from the Mayor, in
forming the City Council that the Cor
poration Court had declared invalid the
clause of the city license law which inn
poses fine on photograph peddlers,
was received and referred.
Mr. Uhler introduced, at the request
of the Corporation Attorney, an ordi-
nance providing for the. substitution Of
trustees in the general deed of trust
made by the corporation in 1869
After the ordinance had been read
Mr.. Uhler said he had been waited
upon by several persons who desired to
be made trustees and expected compen-
sation, but he saw no reason why any
compensation should be given
Mr.. Mushbach, who had arrived
pending the discussion, inquired if the
resolution had been prepared By the
Corporation Attorney.
Mr.. Uhler-"Yes, sir.
Mr.. Mushbach-''Is ne satisfied that
we can substitute trustees by this meth
cd
Mr.. U.-"Yes, sir"
Mr.. NJ, after further examination of
the ordinance, said that was the proper
course, but the new trustees should be
named He introduced an amendment
to request the Court to appoint the
Mayor, Auditor and Treasurer, or their
successors, as trustees under the deed
to make the release, &c.
The ordinance as amended was
agreed to.
When the ordinance reducing the price
of gas from SLIGO with per cent. dis
count to 81 80 with ) per cent. discount
came in from the Board of Aldermen
Mr.. Uhler did not think the reduc-
ton would pay for the printing of the
new bills as it made difference of but
tic per thousand feet, a mere tritle.
The Chair said the committee on
light thought it best to make the
change and he was in favor of reducing
taxation and tariff.
Mr.. Mushbach said that the advan-
tage of the new bill would be mainly to
those who have not the ready cash to
take advantage ofthc present discount
These were class of citizens to whom
the reduction would be important.
The ordinance was defeated by avote
of aye to noes, the chair having voted
in the minority in order, he stated, to
move a reconsideration at the next
meeting.
The Chair called up the resolution Of
the finance committee as to cancellation
of certificates for 100000 now in the
hands of the finance committee.
Mr.. Mushbach suggested that as the
interest was not due until January the
matter might be further postponed and
that course was agreed to.
A message from the Aldermen ask
ing & joint meeting to elect a second
physician of the poor was concurred in.
JOINT CONVENTION.
When the joint convention had come
to order

the committee had made some search

butcher, and for many years was q
prominent figure in the market house

since borne his name, and for twenty

Some years ago he suffered stroke of
paralysis and became housebound and
of late bedridden. He was quiet, un-
assuming gentleman, and was esteemed

Gulick, Of Belmont, Loudoun county,

Mr.. Fisher thought that DR.. Gulick
m ght be mistaken as to the salary
paid. He thought that when the health

ter might be postponed.

EVANGELIST ISAAC NAYLoR.-Last
n;ght the church was full, and after a
preliminary song service, Evangelist
Naylor preached from the text Thou
art weighed in the balance and art found
wanting" He gave very graphic de-
scription of Belshazzar's feast. and the
destruction of the King and his lords.
In speaking from the text he said that
everybody must be put in the balances.
He put the iniidel in, then the moralist,
and showed that it was requisite that a
change Of heart must take place before
they could dream of entering heaven.
That profession would not save them.
He enforced with great power the ne
cessity of the second birth, and showed
that without this change of heart and
life they would be found wanting He
then put the wording into the bal
ances and pointed out that with all
their pleasures, with all their gayety,
with all their pomp and vanities they
would be found wanting. He closed
by saying that the only true JOY to be
obtained was in Christ. After an earn
est appeal the after service was COM
menced. Tonight his subject will be

A Granger Congressman.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-One OF
the best stories of the silver fight be-
came public property today. 1t re-
lates to Representative B. H. Glover,
Kansas. Mr.. Clover is an alliance
congressman. He was president of
the Kansas alliance and vice-presi-
dent of the national Organization. OF
course, like all of the alliance mem
bers, he is an ardent advocate of the
free coinage Of silver. Yet in the Of
fetal record Mr.. Glover is recorded as
present but not voting on the most
important of all roll calls, when Mr..
Crisp by his vote made q tie and
saved the bill from being tabled.
Mr.. Glover, it is said. was very tired
toward the last day of the debate.
Shortly before the motion was made
to table the bill he went back to the
rear of the hall of the house and lay
down upon sofa in one corner. He
dropped off to slumber. The wide.
awake anti-silver men knowing how
close the issue was and how much
might depend upon single vote, put
an unobstrusive guard upon Mr..
Glover to see that he was not dis.
turbed, and he slept through the
crisis, missing his vote.

A Fly Woman and the Cash.

CogN GIL BLUFFS, March GA few
days ago the police received word
from Ogden, Utah, that q woman
named Bower had skipped out from
that city, taking with her little 4
year old son and $500 in cash belong
ing to her husband. Efforts were
made to apprebend the woman, but
without success. Yesterday after
noon Joseph H. Bower arrived III
this city and detailed his troubles.
He Is native of Belgium and mar
ried q young lady whose parents re-
side in New York City. They went
to Australia, where he engaged in
the real estate business in Sidney.
He was successful, but his wife was
dissatisfied, and they returned to
America two mont this ago. He had
heard of Ogden, Utah, and stopped
there. Here his wife deposited $500
in the Union Bank. She opposed HE
going into business there, but he
thought IL . good opportunity, and
while he was engaged in the preli-
miparies she drew the money and
skipped. She was traced to St. 10,
then to the Bluffs, but all trace of
her has been lost. She has not
arrived in New York, but he thinks
she Is going to that city.
