COUNC|LhAN|C FARCE.
THE CITY FATHERS FAILED TO
MEET BECAUSE OF LACK
OF A QUORUM.
WILL TRY IT AGAIN TONIGHT
Mr.. Fox Wanted to Censure the First
Branch-Second Branch Decided to
Take n Recess for Half an Hour.
Hut the First Adjourned and the
Second Was Compelled to Do
Likewise.

Members of Council furnished a lot
of amusement to good sized lobby
last night. Lovers of farce pure and
simple, who have enjoyed the perform
ances by the City Fathers, are genu-
inely sorry that the tenure of Office of
present Councilmen is approaching an
end. 1t was the second Intellectual eff
fort this week to get the members to-
gether to ratify the appointment Of
election officers. Tuesday night the
Second Branch lacked a quorum, and
some First Branch members declared
that they would be blankety BANKED
if they would come out again this
week. Last night, the First Branch
passed vote of censure. After the
meeting Second Branch members
some of them-declared that they
would not invite la grippe by leav-
ing their homes tonight, if the atmo-
twelve inch deposit of the mushy mud
be not removed from the streets.
So there you are. Meanwhile the
business of the municipality is neg
lected.
The Second Branch waited until
$40 o'clock, in the hope that the up
per branch would secure a quorum.
Officers were sent out for absentees,
and there was a persistent use of tel
ephones in the City Building, but all
to no avail.
1t was after $50 o'clock when Mr..
Fox of the First ward, moved to CEN
sure the First Branch Tor its inability
to get quorum. The motion was Sec
onded, and Mr.. Fox persisted until it
finally went through. Then Mr.. NJ. A.
Chew appeared with a message that
the First Branch was about to take a
recess until this evening at 1880
O'Clock. There were but six members
present, and the prospect for securing
a quorum was the reverse of bright
A motion was made to take a recess
until Friday night. Mr. Marschner OBJ
and he didn't want to be trotted out
every night of the week because some
members had engagements on other
nights.
Mr.. Caldwell took the same position,
and offered as an amendment to the
motion under consideration, to
take a recess for a half hour, and to
request the First Branch to arrest alb
sentee5. ne also asked that the SER
geant-at-arms be instructed to prevent
any members from leaving the cham
Der. The motion was carried.
Mr. Fox started to go, and was de-
tanned.
Nh Fox-'SMr President, I'd like to
be excused on account Of physical dis
ability"
President Maxwell-'Mr. Fox, you
want to be excused for how long?"
Mr.. Fox-'Oh, for a week or ten
days, until the First Branch gets a
quorum"
President Maxwell-"I can't excuse
you, Mr.. Fox, unless you give me your
promise to return in thirty minutes"
Mr.. Fox-'I promise"
While this discussion was being car
ried on, the First Branch adjourned
and two or three members departed.
Attention was called to this fact, and
notwithstanding the Second Branch
had already taken recess for a half
hour, a motion was made to take re-
cess until 1870 o'clock Friday evening,
and it was adopted.

The INTENTION or the v0TER.
a railing OF Judge Brannon In the su-
preme Court Of this state.

Charleston, w. Va, April Is. The
case Of Moneys against Wertz as to
who should be City Recorder has been
decided by the Supreme Court Of APP
peals The Court refused the writ of
mandamus asked for by Moreys to
compel the City Council, acting as a
board Of canvassers, to count the votes
cast at the city election for the can
didates for whom the voters showed
plainly their intention to vote, re-
CARELESS Of the manner in which the
ballots were marked.
The opinion in the case was pre-
pared by Judge Brannon and the syl-
labus is az follows: /. A voter must
use only one OF the ballots of the cleo
tion ballot sheets and the names of all
the candidates for whom he votes
must be found on that one ballot. If
some names are on one ballot and
some on another the voter does not
vote for any candidate.
2. AS to mistakes and irregularities
in elections, distinction exists be-
tween those made by voters and those
made by officers Of election. In the
former case such mistakes and irregu-
larities may often destroy the ballot
while those of officers do not affect
the election if fair election has been
held.
Judge Dent gave notice of dissent
and it is expected he will prepare an
opinion
