NEW COUNCILMAN INTRODUCED INTO OFFICE IMPROPERLY
New Eighth Ward Member Sworn in Before His Credentials
We're Examined and Before the Roll
of Council Was Called.

1t is not often that Council is called
upon to fill vacancy among its mem
bers and this may account tor the fact
that when it received William ]. john
ston the new member from the Eighth
ward last night everything was done
hindforemost.
When Council was called to order, the
first thing done was to swear in Mr..
Johnston.
Then Messrs. Smith, Monaghan and
Fisher were named committee on cre-
dentials and they went into the mayors
office with Mr.. Johnston to see ii. his
credentials were correct.
Council had taken a recess and recon-
vened when the committee returned
after few minutes. The committed 8
report was adopted.
Then the roll was called. The proper
procedure would have been:lto fist call
the roll to see if a quorum was present
for unless a quorum was present no mo-
tions could be entertained by the chair
and no business transacted.
Until Mr.. job aston's credentials were
found to be correct he could not be-
legally sworn in. s=sxss
There was also question as to wheth.'

HARLAN'S SUCCESSOR.
Seventeen Candidates in Race
for Superintendency.
Several Met With Teachers Conn
mittee Last Night. Creden-
tials Being Considered
and Selection May
be Made on
Monday.

The Teachers Committee OF the Board
of Education has plenty of work during
these sweltering July days. No less than
seventeen candidates to succeed David
W. Harlan as superintendent of the Will
miDgton schools have presented them
selves for the committees consideration.
Five of these candidates met the Teach
er's Committee and the entire board last
night. Each spoke briefly, the idea be-
ing more to introduce the candidates
personally than to have each lay his plea
before the members.
Chairman Lewis B. Morrow read the
list of candidates to the'school directors.
1t includes:
Charles Howell LeFevre, of Smyrna,
Del, who was principal of the Smyrna
Public Schools four years and until re-
Gently supervising principal of the
schools of Pennington, N. j.
Caleb G. Tindall, of Dover, super
intendent of the Kent County Free
Schools.
Roman Tammany, of Georgetown, ex-
superintendent of the schools of Sussex
county.
A. H. Berlin, principal of the Will
mington High Scnool.
Harry c. Carpenter, of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Carpenter was at one time superin-
tendent of the Free Schools of Della
ware. Until recently he has been in the
United States Consular service, serving
three years in Bavaria and four years in
Vienna. He is now chief of the COM
piling department of the Philadelphia
Commercial Museums.
George J. McAndrew of South Orange,
N. j., E. H. Gumbart OF East Norwalk,
Conn, J. F. Stewart of Little Falls, N.
Y, j. N. Dedel of Claude, w. Va, L. E.
Miller of Bradford, Pa, w. A. Wetzel of
Williamsport. Pa, N. G. Haldridge of
Hammonton, N. j., George w. Twitmire
of Bethlehem, Pa, Robert F. Pennell of
Iryington, \. j., Jared Berhite of Bor-
ough of Queens, \. Y, Irving L. Dwilley
of Susquehanna, Pa, and G. S. Saler of
North Carolina.
The candidates who presented them
selves to the teachers committee last
night were G. 7. Tindal, Harry G.. Car
penter, Roman Tammany, George J.
McAndrew and George w. Twitmire.
The credentials of all the candidates
are in the hands of the committee. Con-
sideration of these credentials consumed
some time last night and an effort will
be made to secure report at the meet
ing of the board next Monday evening.
1t is hardly likely that decision will be
made until Monday evening, July l6.

EX-GOVERNOR HoGG.

added another appeal, particularly to
delegates, not to bring their wives upon
the floor reserved for delegates, as it
kept other delegates from the seats to
which they We're entitled.
Mr.. Richardson now announced that
the platform committee WIS not ready to
report, and, pending word from them, he
invited to the platform Ex-Governor Hogg
of Texas to address the convention.
The giant form of the Texan advanced
to the front and was greeted enthusias-
ticaly. He was in good voice, and his
words reverberated through the hall.
When he declared that the party did
not propose to surrender one iota of its
attitude in 1896 as promulgated by the
Chicago convention, there was round aft
er round of cheers. But this broke into
a whirlwind of approving shouts when
the governor asserted that the party's
platform must contain an unequivocal
and specific declaration for IL to l. 1t
was noticeable that the delegates Joined
with the body of spectators in the tribute
to the Ii to idea. Mr.. Hogg arraigned
the policy of the present administration
in the Philippines and on foreign affairs
generally. its subserviency to trusts. He
closed with prediction that a platform
a appealing to the people for correction
fof existing evils would bring victory in
November.
M Gallery Calls For Hill.
NJ At the termination of Governor Hogg's
address Chairman Richardson stepped
FORWARD to say few words to Sergeant
alarms Martin, and the crowd took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to start the
cry of "Hill!' 1t came from all quar-
ters Of the galleries, but practically lit
tie of it from the delegates. Mingled
with the calls were Kisses.
Chairman Richardson welded his
gavel vigorously and when order was re-
stored in some degree announced:
Gentlemen. l have the honor to intro
duce to you Hon. A. NJ. Dockery, Mis-
souri's favorite SON."
Mr.. Dockery was warmly received,
and his prompt attack upon the conduct
of the Republican administration for its
management of the Philippine question
was greeted with the usual demonstra-
tions of applause. His assurances that
Bryan would be the next president of the
United States and his condemnation of
any alliance between this country and
England received the same enthusiastic
s reception and cries of "Hurrah for Dock
eryr' from the Missouri delegation.
His appeal for harmony "along the
X fundamental principles" met with a
cheer, and when minute later he said,
Il "Gentlemen, get on to the platform,
hwhateyer it may be-" yell went up,
&ehiefiy from the silver delegations. Talk

delegate. ST can't talk every way" re-
piled the speaker. "Then talk this way

er the president had right to swear in
the new man. 1t was thought by some
that Judge Ball should have admins
tered the oath.
Johnston was placed on the following
committees, public buildings, law,
police, elections, engrossments and
crematory.
After the meeting some of these COM
mittees met and broke the new man into
the work of these committees.
II had been reported that Mr.. Johns
ton would affiliate with the "Big Four"
making the combination stand five to
five, and that cnompromise would be
accomplished and the deadlock over city
offices broken. A new slate would be
found which would include John J.
Ryan, for coal oil inspector; city audi
tors clerk, John Bonghman; clerk of
Council, W. P. Morrison.
1t was reported last night however,
that there was some doubt as to which
crowd Mr.. Johnston would join. Mem
bers of both factions were very friendly
to him last night and both seemed to be
.making @ bid for him. No caucus was
3held for city offices.
