denunciation of Harry M. Atkinson, for
merly of Boston, Mass, and a nephew of
Edward S. Atkinson, Of that city, by
w. S. Thompson, councimen from the
Fourth ward, at a meeting Of the general
council this afternoon, the police reserve
was called out to preserve order and
quell what threatened at one time to a
riot.
Several days ago a card was published
here supporting a petition for franchises
which Mr.. Atkinson was asking from
the city and charging that several MEM
bers of the council were controlled by a
rival corporation. At todays meeting,
the councilmen bitterly resented the
charge and attacked Atkinson.
After the session adjourned Mr.. Atkin-
son accosted Col. Thompson, one of the
aldermen who had denounced him, and
before words could pass they started for
each other, when the reserve of police
tnterfered and prevented blows
