The Greenville Republican Club met
last evening in the rooms on panforth

financial secretary to take the place of
Mr.. Reuben Simpson. Mr.. w. Mabie was
then elected assistant financial secretary.
When President Charles Rose called for

mated Mr.. B. Franklin. Mr.. Franklin said
that he would rather let one of the
younger fellows have the position, as he
had held it several years ago. Then Mr..
Petty, who is always ready to offer sug-
gestions, also said he would prefer to
have one of the OUNCE members elected
assistant financial secretary and give the

Several of the member called upon Mr..
Petty to explain what he meant by O. Fs.

to suggest that it meant "old fools, "old

Charles Bennett said that it meant "old

Hobsksn Apparently Has a New ~.
phals Sensation on Hand.

ph0l6 sensation On Hand
There was something of a sensation
around the Hoboken City Hall last night,
when the hour arrived for the Common
Council to hold its meeting. The Council
didn't meet, but just why there was no
meeting has not been fully explained.
All the members of the Board with the
exception of Councilman McGovern were
In the City Clerks Office early in the
evening. When Chairman Weinthal called
the meeting to order a few minutes later,
only Councilman Weber. Snyder and
Bewig were in their seats.
"Where are all the other members 2, in
CURED the chairman as he pounded his
gavel. 81 can't understand their absence.
They were here a minute ago."
Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Murray was
sent out to look up the deserters. but
returned shortly and said they could not
be found.
City Clerk McDermott called the roll
and then Councilman Bewig asked that
another effort be made to find the missing
members.
II can't understand this said Bewig,
'this is an important meeting and l have
come all the way from Lake Hopatcong
to attend. What is the matter with the
members anyhow? Are they afraid to
attend? I guess they have been tipped
off hat SOMEBODY was going to throw a
bomb she'll"
Murray made another hunt for the miss
ing members and reported that they had
left the building. Chairman Weinthal
then declared the meeting adjourned for
lack of a quorum
1t was not ten minutes after the meeting
was adjourned. when Councilman Londri.
gan, Steil, Capelli and Steurwald put in
an appearance.
Councilman Steurwald explained that
he had intended to be present at the
meeting, but had been taken i'll just be-
fore it was called. Councilman Steil had
a batch of license applications in his hand
and said he had been off looking for
Councilman Londrigan to have them sign
ed. Councilman Capelli and Londrigan
were not to be found anywhere.
The strange action of the members
to make speculations. 1t came out that
Councilman Bewig had intended to make
a strong effort to recall the contract
awarded to the Utica Asphalt Company
for the paving of Garden street, because
the company had delayed the work. 1t
rumored that there was a scheme on
hand to give the contract to the Mexican
Paving Company, which paved Hudson
street. Although this could not be done
without legal complications, it is said,
that it had something to do with the
adjournment of the meeting.
Councilman Bewig expressed himself in
strong words in regard to the
actions of the members.
Il don't see how the asphalting ques-
ton could frighten them away, he said.
The Utica Company has not begun to lay
one pound of asphalt yet, but they say
that they will start in as soon as the
street is graded. Men are at work now
resetting the paving blocks on both GAR
den street and Willow venue and 1t is
about time that the asphalting was COM
menced. Property owners are complain
ing. We ought to compel the Utica Conn
pany's contractor. to cease removing the
pavement until the asphalt work is COM
menced."

1t is doubtful whether %sprinkling the
streets renders heat less oppressive in hot
weather. AT Milan, Italy, which, by the
way, has the distinction of being the
hottest city on the European continent,
experience seems to prove that sprink-
ling is not a benefit, and a movement is
now on foot to entirely abolish street
~sprinkling IN that city, except during
the night just previous to sweeping. Dry
heat is easier to bear than moist heat,
and the plentiful only TENDS TO
change the dry heat into moist. Further
more, careful experiments have shown
dust which has been moistened several
times is an excellent soil for bacteria Of
all descriptions. while in dry dust these
same bacteria are rapidly destroyed BY
the sunheat. 1t is recommended, there
fore. not to sprinkle the streets at all
any more, but to collect the street dust
in receptacles built on the lines Of a
carpet sweeper to burn 1T in the city.s
garbage incinerating plant.-Phiiadelphia
