CITY COUNCIL ECHOES.

Alderman Winsor says Alderman Fuller
gave Alderman Richards the resolution to
present relating TO preventing the pay
ment of dinners and lunches OF city OFF,
cials unless the City Council SO orders,
aud Alderman Richards put it in without
knowing what 1t was, Alderman Fuller
thereby getting q joke on Alderman
Richards. BE that as 1t may, Alderman
Fuller approached THE NEWS man after
the meeting last night and smilingly
suggested that note should be made that
the resolution in question represented the
first thing Alderman Richards had done
in the Board.
There was quantity of subdued excite
ment, intense strain, nervous suspense,
etc, in the little group gathered about
the main entrance to the council chamber
while the contest for member of the
board OF canvassers and registration was
going on. "Dan" McOsker was there,
and was, perhaps, the most nervous of
the lot. Thomas +. West was there AND
a handful of henchmen. As each ballot
was announced they discussed the chance
for McOsker, and at first he was assured
that he was all right. Then he paced
UP and down and wondered IL Mccarthy
and Johnson were doing their part. He
found that JohDson's votes were turned
over to him as agreed upon, and then
when Alderman Mccarthy began TO move
about in the chamber some one said !:
's1he old mans getting in his work
now.n Then when McOsker got down TO
five votes he rushed in to throw them
over to Winsor, "anythiug to beat
Blodgett and give those fellows a lesson"
being the cry. But when. Mr.. Mccarthy
forgot to woe and thereby lost the chance
to give the Mayor opportunity to cast the
deciding vote, their hearts were broken.
Today, Mr.. Blodgett is treating to good
cigars, they say.

An Inhuman Father Taken Into Gus
t0dy Last Night.

Patrick McManus, whose home is on
Duffys court, spent the greater part of
last night at the Second police station.
Patrick was so drunk last evening that
he seemed TO have lost all the instincts
of humanity for he kept his wife and
children standing ont in the snow aud
cold until the police took him in custody.
Several neighbors entreated him to share
the shelter of his roof with those that had
a right there, but he was obdurate and
officer Hennessey arrested him and re-
moved him out of the way OF his family.
No arrests have been made vet of the
parties implicated i'm the Eagle Park
stabbing ARRAY Sunday morning. One of
the alleged guilty ones is a property
owner in the Third Ward, and as was
stated yesterday has heretofore borne a
good reputation. The injured men as
we'll as their assaulters formerly belonged
to the same. musical organization in East
Greenwich.
Some time Saturday night a pretty
mean thief entered the Ruggles Street
Primitiva Methodist Church and stole
about S3 that was in two small contribu-
tjon boxes, in fact putting the box of
the Young Peoples Missionary League in
his pocket and carrying it away. The
other box~ known as the birthday
Offering, but was rather large to put in a
pocket so it was left behind and as if to
mark the fact that the thief might possi-
bly, have been meaner than he seemed
one cent was left in 1t. This box was
pried open with a chisel or other sharp
instrument near the lock. Several pack
ages of candy and many articles ~ greater
value were handy enough placed for the
thief tut for some reason or other he did
not apparently pay any attention TO them.
Entrance was effected by pushing up
window on the side OF the church facing
North street. The sill of this window
Is about lS inches deep and when the
window was found open on Sunday morn
ing the kalsomining on the wall under
meath ii was still wet from its being
rubbed BY the wet clothing of the thief.
The window opened into an entry, and
