NEW COUNCILMAN.
J. II. EggletOn Elected to the
Seventh Ward Vacancy.
The Council Once flore Has a
Democratic rIajor-
ity.

The vacancy in the Seventh ward
that has existed for some time was
filled Saturday night at the council
meeting by the election of Mr.. ]. H.
Eggleton as councilman for the un-
expired term of thirteen and a half
months.
The resignation of the Republi-
can member left the council made
up of Democrats, 2 Independents
and Republican. 1t was expect
ed that the attempt to elect coun-
Gilman would result in a tie that
would give the deciding vote to
the mayor, but this was averted
There was also a vacancy in The
position of city teamster and as a
compromise measure this position
was given to Republican and
Councilman Glass, the Republican
member, voted with the Democrats
to elect Mr.. Eggleton. He received
four votes on the first ballot and his
election was then made unanimous.
The new councilman at once quail
fed and took part in the subse-
quent elections.
Jordan Barker, COL, who was
for many years city teamster, was
elected to his old position. Seeing
the drift of things, the two Inde-
pendents voted with the others and
Barker received seven votes.
j. M. Cravens was elected to sue
ceed J! M. Byrnes and w. E.
Shankllnrto succeed Booth Morris,
resigned, on the police force. Both
are staunch Democrats and officer
Cravens has had several years ex'
perience, during which he made
one of the best policeman the city
ever had. His return to the force
will add greatly to its efficiency.
Mr.. Shanklin is also very capa-
bic man, who has had some expert
ence as special policeman.
Before adjournment Councilman
Eggleton announced that he would
"set up"a supper to the council and
other officials, at Schmitt's restau-
rant. The banquet come off with
covers laid for fifteen and the best
of feeling prevailed.
