NO CAUCUS
WAS HELD.
Because of the Absence
of Two OF the
COunCiImen.

Owing to the illness Of Mr.. Healey and
tho inability of Mr.. Groves to attend be-
cause Of the death Of his father there was
no caucus of Council held last night. The
regular committee meetings were Held,
however.
The illness Of Mr.. Healey may posip
the fight over the city offices and tonight's
meeting Of City Council may therefore te
quiet one. 1t had been reported that
the solid six Democrats composing the
majority Of the caucus would at to-night's
meeting make IN effort to have q number
of the city offices declared vacant on ard
after August l. Tho basis for such action
will bo found in sections one and two Of
chapter two Of the "Charter Laws and
Ordinances Of the City Of Wilmington
These sections state that Council shall
proceed biennially to elect on the third
meeting night In July clerk Of Council,
bailift, Gil inspector, clerk of market. and
clerk Of the Finance Committee and that
the terms of said officials shall begin on
the first dav Of August next ensuing the
election, and shall be for the term Of two
years. 1t /. claimed there is no provision
made that these officials shall hold over in
case Council fails to name their success
ore, and on this ground the six Democrats
may hope to oust the present incumbenis
and leave the city without officers to per-
form the duties Of these places
Ciy Auditor and Meat Inspector are
not affected by these sections, inasmuch
that the sections which cover the election
OF these officials provide that thoy shall
continue in office until their successors
are duly qualified.
A similar fight over offices existed two
years ago, when Council male several
Intellectual efforts to elect officers and
finally, on August l, declared the offices
vacant.
At that time the incumbents were per-
mitted to hold ovor until September 5,
when w. p. Morrison was elected Clerk
of Council pro tern and j. j. Ryan,
bauitf pro tenn, until tho difficulty was
ndiusted
