 Caused By Popo's Resignation

At the meeting of the city council last night the matter Of clccting some one Co nll the vacancy in the council caused by the resignation Of Mir Pope. came up. Nothing was done. however
 The reason was given that the council now numbers six and it would not Doe hard Go form deadlock. possibly on some future action From conversation with different councilmen lt was brought ont that the expense for electing another councilman would be quite an amount. and lt seemed quite the opinion that the vacancy could be left unsupplied.
 This proposition seems all right on the surface. but at the next meeting the mat ter win come mp as to the legality of business transacted when the council really only contains six members. when the ordinance says seven must constitute this organization.

THE LABOR AGENTS
 AND THE TROUBLE Agent Ryan Makes Bond and is Released THE CHICAGO END OF IT Speculation, as to the Final Outcome. "It Is a Shame That These Ne
 sroes Are Brought to chi-
 caso," It Is Said.
THE CHICAGO END OF IT

D. ". Ryan, one of the negro labor agents arrested on account of the expor- tation of laborers from this district for work in Chicago. secured bail Wednes- day night and was released from jail Bell, the other agent, is stiu confined be- hind the bars.
 There was considerable speculation re- garding the reception the negroes will probably receive in Chicago. Meetings of the employees of the Latrobe Steel and couplar Company have been held and a bitter feeling expressed toward the move ment. The following from a Chicago pa- per tells of this feeling:
 'It is a shame that these negroes are being brought here" said MT. Dousherty. "We do not want them, nor is there any need for them, for tho company can get plenty of white help. l am afraid thas we will have a race war. and a serzous one. before many weeks pass- The young men of Bellwood say they will not submit to the negroes taking their positions. You can see what this will lead to-"
 On the other hand, an official of tha company declared that the men now srn- pioyed in the works need have no fear of losing their places.
 ."rhis is simply 0 case of there being more work than we can do with the pses- ent force, and 1t has become impossible to get sufficient help" said he. '"The present laborers need have no cear of losing their positions"

SEVENTH NATIONAL l ;.
 CASE BEING HEARD.

New York, July 25.-With the fed eral grand jury in session on an in vestigation of their affairs the board of directors of the Seventh National Bank today decided, upon a plan for the reorganization of the defunct bank. The capital stock is to be increased from $l00,000 to $2,500,000 and the additional issue of s2.000,000 in stock will be sold at $130 per share with first purchase to be the privilege of the pri- vate stockholders. Edward R. Thomas, Edwin Gould, William Nelson Crom- well and Frank Ray, William H. Fay Tor and Edmund K Stall have been constituted a committee of subscribers with plenary power to carry out the plans. eas
 A substantial amount of the new stock has already been subscribed. United States District Attorney Henry L. Burnett says the plan to reorganize the Seventh National Bank will not af- feet the investigation by the federal grand jury.
 William R. D. Stokes, who is a stockholder of the Seventh National, has taken out summons in the Su- preme Court against the directors of the bank, President Thomas and Re- ceiver Rayner. ers
 The complaint charges the directors with making reports to the stockhold- CTS to the effect that the capital of the bank was unimpaired. when as a mat ter of fact it was already insolvent It further charges that the directors utterly faiIed and neglected to perform their official duties, and that they "suf- fered and permitted the accounts of said bank to be kept in an inaccurate manner, which failed to show the true character of it's affairs"
