NEW DEPoTs ARE PROMISED.

The Board OF Aldermen, at the regular
monthly meeting held in the City Hall
last night, refused to concur in the action |
OF the Common Council appropriating |
money to pay the school teachers for the .
time they worked without any remunera- !
ton last December. The resolution was |
lost because it required two thirds vote |
and only nine out Of the fifteen members |
present veted In the affirmative. A clever
manoeuvre on the part of Alderman King
saved the resolution from utter defeat
and by changing his vote at the last
minute he was enabled to move re-
consideration of the question and ;hen
the majority told. Finally the resolution
was laid upon the table until the next
meeting
The session was occupied almost ex-
c,usively with the transaction of routine
business. and there were no discussions
of any moment The appropriation Oh
90 600 TO fight the possible progress OF
smallpox, which was supposed to be cpl
demIc I'm Norfolk a week ago, was tapled
| through the recommendation of the presl-
| don't of the Board of Health who sees
L
| m necessity for it at the present time.
Letters were received from the repre-
| sentatives of the Chesapeake ana ohio
| and Southern railroads in regard to the
| construction of better depots here. Mr..
| Axtell. speaking for the former COM

will shortly be built by the road he rep

law passed by the last Legislature re-
