NO QUORUM.
The City Council Failed to Get To-
gether TUESDAY, Evening.

That history repeats itself was made
evident to those who expected to see a
Council meeting last evening.
Six members only were present when
Vice President Wood called the meet
ing to order forty minutes late. AS
matter of course an adjournment was
necessary.
1t is remembered that a week ago
there was no quorum, likewise no
meeting, and someone suggested that
the roll was called in the wrong room
in the city bnilding.
AS peculiar coincidence we men
tion the fact that there was the next
thing to prizefight on each occasion,
although that fact had nothing to do
with the absence of a quorum in either
case. And just as a matter of coinci-
dence, there is to be another glove
contest next Tuesday evening. Won
der if there will be a quorum present
then at the Council.

MARIETTA DAILY LEADER
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY IL 1899.
A Burglar in White.

Not many mornings ago at an early
hour, say o'clock, at time when all
honest people were just getting the
best returns from natures sweet re-
storer, sound was heard at the home
of certain young attorney, which
sound had all the terrifying sugges-
tivenes5 of a man trying to effect an
entrance into the sacred precincts of q
home where he didn't belong.
Our young barrister heard not the
sound at first, but his far-better half
did, and she awakened her lord with a
start which produced an awful shock
on the nerves of the ordinarily brlst-
ling disciple of Blackstone. At what
seemed to be the final raising of a win
dow, the young man-all gone with
nervousness, not fright--and with a
lumpy feeling in his throat, trembling
here, there everywhere, for his trusty
revolver. Finally he found it, manag-
ed to cock it, and went to window,
just any old window except the one he
thought the burglar was about to en-
ter. Without raising the window, or
his eyes either, for they were closed
for fear of seeing dark form of
strange bearing, he let fire a load,
good and strong. Crash! through the
window it went; Bang! followed anoth-
er, till every chamber had spent its
forceful load-then, waiting to hear a
dying gasp or two, our barrister stood
and shivered, while through the bat
tered window came more clearly, the
sound of the soggy snow slipping off
the slanting roof-and the wind sough-
ed and the lawyer huffed, and woe to
him who mentions that burglar, which
had in him only the elements to make
snow man.
Underwood was not the party who
tried to shoot hole through the beau
tiful snow. Further deponent saith
not.

We are told that there are ten pro-
