 President Mitchell, before entering Carpenter Hall to attend the meeting, stated he had received no word of re- ported concessions on the part of opera tors. The situation, he said, was as last night when he emphatically stated that he had not received concessions and dld not expect that any would be voluntarily forthcoming. His answer to question asked early this morning clearly showed that no advances or concessions were ex- pected from the operators He was asked:
 MT. Mitchell in the event of your re- ceiving concessions today, will you admit their receipt, even should you decide not to divulge their character or extent?
 q cannot answer that question: he answered, adding:: "I am not looking for concessions. I do not expect them, and the probability of any being sent at this time is so remote that l do not think 1t necessary to consider the matter

 Mr. Robert Morris was elected alder man for this ward by a large majority but Dr. Anglia and MT. Lacy each re- ceived 51 votes for the other position of alderman to which this ward was en- titled. The board canvassed the returns and found that two ballots had been thrown out by the election officers be- cause the cross marks opposite the names had been at the right of the ticket instead of the left. Both of these bal lots were marked for Dr. Anglin and one for MT. Lacy. The board counted both, making the vote, Anglin 53 and Lacy 52.

when the cutter returned it was seen that
James H. Hyde, vice-president of the Equitab bic
Life Assurance Society, and his sister, Mrs. Sid
ney Dillon Ripley. were the passengers that had
been taken off the ship.
Mrs. Ripley. in order to get into the cutter
had TO go down a ships ladder from the steam
ships side a sheer descent Of about twenty
feet. The nerve displayed by Mrs. Ripley in
making this descent caused the admiration OF
the officers on the cutter. who said that Mrs.
Ripley's act was unprecedented. Mr.. Ripley was
on the cutter and met his wife at Quarantine
