The appointment of Harry Pritchard
as an extraman by Police Chief Glenn
ans was confirmed
In the First Branch the proposition
by Mr.. Henry Schmulbach to construct
a monument to the river interests,
combining drinking fountain, pre-
scented through Charles E. VanKeuren,
| was accepted, the Second Branch con-
curing, and ordering a vote of thanks.
The matter is fully detailed elsewhere.
The Committee on Scales submitted
revised list Of charges for weighing
| on city scales, but as simple resolution
proposed to change an ordinance it
was ruled out and referred to Ordi-
| nances.
An ordinance amending Sec. SIS of
| the ordinance in relation to offenses,
prescribing that no signs, sign posts,
etc., shall be set up unless permission
shall first be obtained from the Board
of Public Works, and providing regu-
lations to be observed, was brought up,
it having been first read at previous
| meeting. Mr.. Miller attempted to OBJ
| ject because the measure had not been
printed, but was ruled out, and the
ordinance was read a second time and
by its title and passed
| The resolution tabled at the last ses-
sion, relative to the Neibergall slaugh-
ter house, was taken up in the Second
Branch, and the whole matter was re-
| ferred to Health.
! Mr.. r. T. Chew offered a resolution
| referring to the attempt being made to
bring Admiral Dewey to the city, and
| appropriating 5000 to purchase an arti-
Gle or articles of Wheeling manufact-
| ure, to be presented in the
name of the city, as a wedding present
to Admiral and Mrs. Dewey. Mr.. Kill
leen moved to lay on the table. and
on roll call the vote stood: Ayes Z, noes
IL, Mr. Chairman not voting. The vote
| to table was Messrs. Caldwell, Fitz-
simmons, Killeen, Kurtz, Long, Wat
| son and Zeigler A debate followed.
Messrs. Caldwell and Killeen taking the
ground that the money would be inn
properly spent, to which MIR. Chew
said it was patriotic matter, and he
regretted that there were AguinaldoS
| in this city to fight proposition which
| meant business to our people. Mr..
Miller offered an amendment that no
money should be spent unless the Ad-
miral and his wife actually come here,
and a further amendment was offered
by Mr.. Fox that if the Admiral did not
come 800 of the amount should go to
the Doddridge sword fund. This led to
a prolonged debate, Killeen and Cald-
well fighting the proposition in any
shape, while Mr.. Miller held that if the
city could appropriate $500 to the cleo
trio K of P. arches it could devote 5000
to the Dewey matter. The Fox amend
| ment to the amendment did not receive
| a second, Mr.. Miller's amendment was
lost, and ON the original question 1t was
adopted, ayes 13, noes Z. The final
vote was: Ayes, Messrs. Beckett, Brad
bury, Chew, Fair, Fox, Kalbitzer,
Marschner. Maurer. Miller, Radcliff,
| Scheehle, Weisgerber and Mr. Presi-
dent-13. Noes-Messrs. Caldwell, XII
leen, Fitzsimmons, Kurtz, Long, Wat
! son and Ziegler-7. A resolution by
Chew to appropriate SO to publish the
| vote in the daily papers led to a warm
debate, Mr.. Chew's evident object being
to drag politics into the matter HIS
resolution was decisively defeated
When the matter got to the First
Branch, that body refused to concur,
| and the Second Branch refused to ask
for committee OF conference.
| Mr.. Scally offered resolution call
ing for electric lights on Bow street
and at two points in North Wheeling,
and it was referred to Lights.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons offered a resolution
calling for an ordinance abating the
railroad smoke nuisance, and 1t went
to Ordinances.
Mr. ScheehIe offered resolution that
hereafter the rate of hire for a horse
and cart on city work be 50 per day,
and it was adopted.
Mr.. Fox offered resolution appro-
priating $50 TO the Doddridgs sword
