LY-AN ADDITIONAL ARC OR
DERED.
Electric lights and their location was
the subject Of a special meeting IN the
mayors office last night, at which all
the City Councilmen except Mr.. Har-
ringtOn we're present. Andrew Nj. Gal
lagher appeared with q protest against
the decision to place no light in front
OF L. M. Chase & Sons. Because, he
urged, the arc light at Front and Del
aware streets is hidden by tree
branches in Summer time, another
light is absolutely necessary at the
east intersection of Second and Della
ware streets.
Mr.. Fagan also contended for a light
at Sixth and Cherry streets, saying chat
thirty or more houses, otherwise in
darkness. would be nicely lighted
Mr. Pagan placed his contention in
the form of a motion. and Mr.. Cooper
seconded it after much hesitancy. Sew
eral men contended that there should
be no changes in the plan as forward
Cu 10 'oupcIiHltnuenl MllleI. Ills mo
tion was carried and Mr.. Schuhardt
then moved that an additional light be
placed on Fifth street near Williams
and be taken off Sixth street. This was
carried and Mr. Gallagher's request
was granted by moving the Court
House light down opposite the City
! Hall.
Mr. Pagan offered resolution to
purchase an additional light and place
it at Tenth and Clayton streets. This
was also carried.
A resolution was offered that Council
notify the gas company that on and af-
ter April /, the city would need no
more gas light. This resolution was
passed.
President Morrison suggested that
an electrical expert be employed to
visit New Castle as soon as the cleo
trio lamps were ready and test the
power of the lights and report in full
to Council.
It was ordered that Treasurer King
of the railway company be notified
that Council would expect the town
lighted according to the company's
contract on and after April /. 1897
Then Council adjourned. The mem.
bers have worked faithfully to place
the new lights in most advantageou.

TYBOUT YET A MEMBER
Board of Education Refuses to
Accept His Resignation.
THEREFORE, ONLY THREE TO ELECT

MR.. STEWART CLAIMED HE WAS
STILL A LEGAL RESIDENT, MR..
FRAZER THAT HE HAD BEEN
IMPoRTUNED.
The Board of Education had a cold
reception in the chamber last evening"
but things soon warmed up. All the
majority" members Of the board who
have been accused OF filibustering
against the resignation Of Or. r. Ray
mond Tybout appeared In good time
ready to have their say. The janitor
failed to light up inside the stove, and
Clerk Eckles failed to connect with the
much mooted resignation.
President Ferris announced that as
the special meeting had been called to
act upon the resignation OF DR.. 1'ybout,
he could give the substance OF the COM
munication, but Mr.. Manlove objected
on the ground that there was nothing
before the house
Mr. Stewart arose on question OF
personal privilege. He understood that
the president had censured him for his
failure to attend the two called meet
ings Immediately prior to his one. He
wanted it understood that he had never
been derelict in duty, and that upon
the first occasion he was sick and con-
fined to the house, and the second time
he was never notified formally or in
formally.
President Ferris said that he with
drew any implied censure when he
found that all the members had not
been notified.
Clerk Eclxles could not locate Dr.
Tybouts resignation, although he
hunted high and low Mr.. Eliason Of
fered a resolution accepting it on the
word of the president and secretary
/ Mr.. Reynolds seconded 1t.
Mr. Stewart, speaking against the
resolution, stated that DR.. Tybout was
a valuable member of this board and
he had no permanent residence anc
would probably open an office in Will
mington. and. he understood, might b'
In New Castle much of the time
Messrs. Eliason and Ferris talked a
length on the advisabiity of accept
ing DR.. Tybout's resignation as, while
the doctor had not located anywher'
as yet, and had been in New Castl'
the past two days Yet they they weri
confident he would never live here AM
move in the board again.
Mr. Frazer demanded to know
whether DR.. Tybout had voluntarily
absolutely voluntarily rendered hi
resignation, or whether he had been in
duced to do so by personal friends.
such were the case. he wanted to know
why that had been done.
President Ferris stated that he hal
expressed willingness to resign in tn
Summer but he had not asked him Z
do so until a month ago. Other mem
bers claimed that DR.. Tybout had eS
pressed his dislike at having to resig
from the board and they further claim
ed that until he permanently locate
somewhere else he was still a residen
OF New Castle.
The resolution was lost by this vote
