City council was to have met In the
last regular meeting Of the year 1899
last night, but owing to. the first branch
being unable TO scrape up quorum.
no meeting was held. In the second
branch there were fifteen members
present. a bare quorum. while across
the hall but seven first branchers re-
spOnded to the roll call, two short of
quorum. In the second branch there
was motion to adjourn, but It was
voted down, IA to /, all but one Of the
advocates Of adjournment misunder-
standing the manner in which Chair
man pro-tem RIndelberger put the

for ten minutes recess was made. To
this Mr.. Fox objected in characteris-

proceeded to crltlclse the first branch

body moved adjournment. and 1t was
carried while Nj. Fox was conjurlng up

the assembled multitude.
A meeting was necessary in order to
pass on bills from several of the depart

appropriation ordinance in the spring.
It was decided, therefore, to call a
special meeting of council for to-mOr-
row night, when It is hoped quorum

out objection being made by council
man It must go over until the next
meeting.
