IN BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

The first discussion brought forth in
the board was when the report of the
committee on claims giving leave to
withdraw on the petition of Margaret
Gilligan was read. Alderman Carberry
asked for information as to why the
committee had reported as they did
Alderman Huot answered that the COM
mittee was satisfied that the claimant
had no legal claim. He thought the
title of the committee on claims should
be- changed to the committee on chart
ties, from the nature of some OF the
claims that were presented.
Some of the claimants maintained
that they had 100 cabbages In their cell
A Ian or other vegetables, as the case
might be, when the water came in. In
ofheF cases whole families had been
made sick by the sewage water that
lowed into their cellars. When an et-
fort was made to learn the name OF
the doctor who attended, it was found
that no physician had been employed.
Alderman O'Connell inquired what
authority he had for the statement that
The petitioners had no legal claim for

OLD ENGRAVED FURNITURE.

One of the best examples of old En-

been shown in this city is the chair
Illustrated in another column by the
Paine Furniture Company, under the

mems of it in existence than the chair
in question, which is practically a re-
production of the state chair of the
Prince of Wales in the Crystal Palace
exhibition of half century ago. Our
readers will be interested, if they are
in the vicinity of Canal street, to call
and see this unusual piece of furni-
ture. 2i

10 the casual observer, there was
nothing on the calendar for last nights
meeting of the city council that would
furnish the incentive for much debate,
but I'm tIis-surmise he would reckon

The petitions of Margaret Gilligan,

rainstorm of last August, were the ORR
Gin of the liveliest sort of debate in
both. branches, especially in the com
naon council.
The committee on claims which has
considered these petitions, reported
leave to withdraw in each case, but in
the minds of some of the members of
the government, the claims should have
been given more careful consideration.
Aldermen O'Connell. Carberry and Bar

The city solicitor was asked for an

liable. Some of the councilmen went
80 far as to express some doubt as to
The wisdom of the ruling.
The argument in the common coun-
eli finally resulted in reports being laid
aNer until the next meeting.
The snow pile on the common came
IN for discussion in the upper board.
&lderman O'Connell introduced an or
f@r for the removal of the whole or a
part of the pile, which was lost, al
though a general sentiment seemed to
pfevail that the outer coating of filth
and sewage matter should be removed
So as to allow the sun to get at the
snow and melt it away.
councilman Meagher introduced an
bfder providing for a temporary home
for weary wanderers, to be maintained
at the expense of the city. which was
referred to the committee on charity.
The report of the committee on
sffeets on the order relative to pur-
chasing a plant for street watering,
brought forth a warm debate, in which

two weeks, the upper board until one

Statements From the Rival Telephone Interests.

Bills & workman Have Local Endorsement.
To the citizens of Davenport, Rock
Island and Moline: The attention of
the undersigned committees has been
called to the fact that persistent
misrepresentation is being made as to
the Endorsement by US of Mes srs. Bills
and Workman, representing the Union
Electric Telephone Il Telegraph COM
pany, to the effect that different
mem bers of the committees had since
changed their views.
Such statements we denounce as
untrue. The committees indorse-
meut of these promoters has been
ratified by our respective organiza-
tions. One member of the Rock ISL
and Retail Merchants 0 association
committee failed to concur in our in
dorSement; but as he was alone in his
opinion, we presented the majority
report, indorsing Bills 81 Workman,
and said report was adopted without
a dissenting vote.
The splendid success achieved by
Messrs. Bills IL Workman in signing
up an overwhelming majority of the
representative business houses, war
rants the belief that they, and they
alone, can succeed in spite of the ef-
forts made to confuse the public and
split up and disintegrate the indie
