the balcony was hidden by magnificent
plush velvet draperies in deep blue aud
old gold, with gilt fringe dependant, and
heavy crimson plush draped the entire
front OF the stage. National colors com
pletely hid the walls from sight relieved nj
intervals by satin and plush banners rich
In material aud handsome in design. The

ct board of aldermen, commanding that
body to call another election for the sec

tioner, is the Democratic candidate for
alderman In the second ward and he is

fos warden and clerk.
At the annual city election on Novem-
Der there was no election in this ward,
owing TO the presence Of three tickets IN
the field, the third party or Citizen's
Democratic ticket being headed by Alder
man Winters and two of the present
councilmen from that ward. Another
election was called for Wednesday last,
and yesterday afternoon the Board Of
Aldermen met to count the votes. The
result was not essentially different from
the first trial, and there was no election
for any of the offices.
One of the Republican aldermen then
moved to hold another election on the
first Wednesday in April. at the time of
the State election, arguing that IL was
useless expense to hold another special
election, as The result of the second elec-
tion did not differ materially from the
first.
Mayor Carroll objected strongly to this,
claiming that the Supreme Court would
compel the board to cali an election with
in a reasonable time. He refused to put
the question for a time, but after much
discussion and protestation on his
part and on the part OF Alder
man OReilly at such pro-
ceeding the mayor condescended to put
the motion with his pro est that 1t was
Illegal, and with notice that he would
have mandamus put upon each Of the
members OF the board, to show cause
why they should not call an election
sooner. The board then voted to hold
another election the first Wednesday in
April.
The petition filed this morning sets
forth the facts Of the case, and further
that the members of the city government
are inaugurated into Office the first Mon
day in January: that there is ample time
for another election before that time, and
that notices can be posted ten days
before such election according TO
tious, unjust and illegal, and will
full, mischievous ana corrupt attempt to
deprive the petitioners of their legal
rights, and the electors of the Second
Ward OF their right to express their pref
erence. IL therefore prays for the writ OF
mandamus to issue commanding the
Board OF Aldermen TO call another
election on such day as the court
shall determine. and upon such notice
thereof as the court shalt order. 1t also
prays that the court will appoint day
for the board of aldermen to meet for
this purpose.
A citation was issued, directing the
board TO appear in court tomorrow morn
ing at O'Clock, and show cause why the
prayer Of the petitioners should not be
granted.
