be read. This was done by Clerk Tho.
ner, the other nominee being Mortimer

The ballot was then taken. In the
first branch roll call, one Democrat, Mr..

surprise, as he has all along voted that
way in the water board matter, The
interest centeted in the way certain
second branch members would vote,
particularly Mr.. Filan. Those who were
on the inside said he would vote for
EbeIing, and in this they were not mis-
taken. The Fifth ward man, when his

bled reconsideration OF action taken
earlier in the evening in regard to the
double tracks on Jacob street, South
Side, was had, Mr.. Wheat moving for
reconsideration, saying that when the
former action was taken he had not
thoroughly understood the matter. Mr..
Morningstarscconded tho motion to re-
consider, and it passed.
Mr.. John A. Howard appeared before
the second branch and explained the
situation. 1t seems that the board Of
public works did not notify the Wheel
ing Railway Company OF the order OF
Council, when requested to do SO by
Council, which inaction Mr.. Howard
considered very peculiar. He asked
simply that Council order the board to
comply with its order made last January.
Mr.. Burke moved that the board OF
public works be instructed to comply
with tho order Of Council. The motion
passed, and information OF this action
was conveyed to the first branch and
concurrence asked; this was refused I'M
til good grounds for such action were
given. The papers in tho case were
sent over for the enlightenment OF that
branch.
In the meantime, in the second, Mr..
Kenney moved for adjournment. Lost.
Tie second branch acted again in the
matter, this time in the shape Of reso-
luton by Mr.. Wheat, that the board be
instructed to enforce the order OF Coun-
Gil in regard to the double tracks on ia
cob street. The lower branch then ad-
journed.
The Wheat resolution went over 10
the upper branch. Before considera.
ton, Mr.. Howard explained the situa-
ton. The first then conCurred, and adj
journod.
