and the train parted. By a singular CO.
Incidence, the actor and stage carpen-

Acting upon the old impulse, the former
gave the proper signal TO back. which
was promptly done by the stage car
penter. The train was then coupled
and made up. After the proper lines
were spoken the train pulled out amidst
a tumult of applause. Manager Carter
congratulated the actor for the manner
in which he saved the scene, and there

Clerk Watkins read the ordinance
which provides for a special election on
December %, for the purpose Of allowing
the voters Of the city to determine
whether or not they want the new city
charter recently completed by the char
ter commission. The ordinance went
through Its first reading without Incl
dent, but when read by It's title, Mr.
Hahne said that he had been requested
to vote against 1t in council and not al
low 1t to so TO an election. These men
had made the argument that 1t will be
a useless expense to have an election, as
1t Is a foregone conclusion that the char
ter will be defeated. He did not like to
take the action. Thus far there has
been no partisan feeling in the charter;
II council sidetracks It. It will be n par
tisan action. II 1t Is turned down at the
special election. however, there can be no
kick. The vote on the adoption of the
ordinance was unanimous in its favor In

The city council held n we'll attended
meeting last night. In fact 1t was the
best attended meeting that has been
held within the past six months. Dur
ing the political campaign 1t was diff
cult to obtain a quorum. The unusually
large attendance Is partly explained BY
the Interest felt In two measures that
were up for considerntion-the report Of
the committee on ordinances, which re-
commended unfavorably the application
OF the Manufacturers (Wheeling) Gas
Company for an extension OF Its fran
chise, and the ordinance fixing Decem-
Der % as the day for the special election
that will decide whether or not the peo-
pie of Wheeling want the new charter
which has been prepared by the charter
commission.
The action OF the second branch in
sending back to the committee on ordi-
nances the matter of the application OF
the gas company for an extended fran
chise, was not unexpected. The public
sentiment. which has developed through
out the community. in favor of giving
the Wheeling company what 1t asks,
has been so strong that council was
forced to pay heed to 1t. The committee
will now proceed to reopen the case and
may come back to the next meeting of
council with a recommendation. In.
fact. from the remarks Of Mr.. T. G. Britt.
" 80 LII H., ~ 1900 I..- I , L., lfN-r~
that he has changed his views on the
subject, and his vote. would decide the
matter. in the committee.
The second branch passed the Ordl-
nanc fixing the special election for n
vote on the new charter, but In the first
branch the ordinance received a rap
when Mr.. Zwicker obj-oked to Its con-
sideration. It now goes over to the next
meeting of council. when the charter
commission members are invited to be
present and explain som Of the features
of the charter.
