Mr.. Jno. Craven will not be an appli-
cant for janitor OF the Market

THE COMMITTEES the meeting
of the City Council TO be held tonight
the various standing committees will
be appointed by the presidents of the
two boards and there has been some
speculation as to their formation. A
day or TWO before Mr.. Strider was
elected president of the Common Coun-
Gil, Messrs. l. c. Barley and G. G. Car
lin, who are not members of Coun.
Gil, but who were acting as q steering
committee and who were exceedingly
anxious that Mr.. Strder should be
elected, made personal canvass
among the members and promised GER
tain of them any position they
wanted in the gift of the Coun-
Gil if they would vote for him.
They went so far as to promise one Of
the newly elected members the position
of chairman OF the committee on
streets if he would do as they babe him.
The member referred to declined, so,
of course, Messrs. Barley and Carlin
have clear steering so far as this case is
concerned, but many who heard OF the
promise inquired what would have be-
come of MIR. B. 3. Smith, the present
chairman Of the street committee, il
the recalcitrant member, had voted for
Mr.. Strider. while oilers have asked
who authorized outsiders TO make
Council appointments.
