Resume of Events From the Marshall
County Town.
Last Nights Council Meeting.

Last Nights COunc Meeting.
Last night the City Council met in
regular session, and transacted o n
siderable business of more or less i'm
portance. Several important matters
that were expected to come up did not
materialize. The most important bus
mess transacted was the election OF
a recorder and two police. The Office
of recorder vas made vacant by the
death of the late incumbent. At last
nights meeting Frank Porterfield was
elected to the vacancy.
The positions Of the two policemen
were made vacant by the discharge Of
one man for neglect and the resigna-
ton of another. Atwell Yhost and
William Altmyer were elected to fill
the vacancies.

There can be no doubt that the DEM
ocrats and Republican insurgents have
acted within the law in the fight in
Council, and that they cannot be dis
possessed of the city Offices through
any legal proceedings. One very i'm
portant point is possession, and this
has already been achieved by the two
municipal boards whose members
qualified last night.
Immediately after. the adjournment
of Council last night the members OF
the Water Board and Board of Public
Works met for organization. The
Water Board, Messrs. Butts, Brandfass
and Lindsey, elected Ross T. Chew as
secretary and Mike Mckinney as SUI
perintendent Of the pumping station.
George c. Bischoff, Of the Eighth ward,
was chosen as M of the collectors. 1t
has been understood for some time
that this slate was to go through. MIR.
Chew is an ex-member Of the Second
Branch from the First ward. Mr..
McKinney's election no doubt means
q large number of changes in the
pumping station.
The Board of Public Works held a
meeting in the law Office of City So
licitor J. j. Coniff, and organized by
electing Charles Menkemeller as presi-
dent, and VIM. H. Paul a. clerk. Mr..
Paul Is the popular drummer of the
Opera House band, who was the DEM
ocratic nominee for City Clerk two
ago. Other candidates for the
place were Mr.. w. F. Henke and Mr..
Thomas ]. Wolvington. The Board
will elect a city engineer at a future
meeting.
After the adjournment of Council
the Republican leaders assembled in
the Office Of the Water Board, and re-
manned there for some time consider
ing the situation. 1t was late when
the Office was vacated, but the mem
bers of the new Board were kept in
touch with the situation, and before
midnight they had entered and taken
possession of the Office.
At the same time the new Board OF
Public Works made a descent upon
their Office on the second floor OF the
public building. A telephone message
to the Register at midnight gave the
information that they were in possess
sion, and that all was secure.
AT three O'Clock this morning there
were two officers on guard in the rooms
of the Board of Public Works, and two
: officers guarding the Water Board.
They will remain until the officials re-
port for duty to-day, and are subject
to orders from the new Boards. When
these officials appear, the officers will
be relieved by others if it is consid-
cred necessary to continue them.
