mayor Of Haverhill, Mass.


Charles II. Huber is still OF the opinion
that the people Of the First ward desired
him to represent them In the city council
and not ]. r. Bell. the republican candidate
who was elected at the recent municipal
election. So Arm is he in this belief that
yesterday he filed contest papers with the
city clerk asking that a recount Of the
votes cast in the two precincts Of the
First ward be ordered. The request will
come before the city council at its meeting
Monday night for action.
Charles Huber was succeeded in the city
council by j. r. Bell who defeated him by
three votes. In the papers filed yesterday
Huber makes all sorts Of allegations. To
start with he alleges that the counting
Of the ballots by the judges was not &C
cording to Law and charges the Judges and
clerks with misconduct. He alleges fur
Their that the judges failed to count at least
four votes cast for him and that they
counted and declared six votes for Bell
which were not, he alleges, legally cast for
Bell.
In the event a recount is ordered the
board to make the canvass will be COM
posed Of three persons. one chosen by Huber
one by Bell and one by the mayor. Huber
will be required to furnish a bond for the
costs OF a recount before one will be
granted.

A number Of years ago. relates the De-
troit Free Press, a son was born to a col
ored woman in the south, and. as he was
her first, she looked upon him with pride.
and was much at a loss TO find a name
for him. Relatives and friends, including
her mistress. were appealed to, but al
though many names were suggested, all
were discarded.
After many days Of elaboration she said
one morning to her mistress: Miss Mary.
Use found a name for my boy; I'm going to
name him Delicious"
why" said the lady, where did you
get that name?"
"oh." she replied. I'm going to call him
that cause / want to name him for Mr.
Grant"
When it was explained to her that the
great hero was named Ulysses. and moi
Delicious, she was somewhat disturbed il
mind, but Ulysses did not please her, 81
the boy had to begin life burdened witt
the name Egbert Eugene.

Paving Case Up I'm Court.

The hearing OF the suit Of L. G. Baldwin
and other property owners in the Fourth
ward against the city, attacking the validity
Of the contract with Il. A. Wickham for the
paving of certain streets and avenues in
that ward and to enjoin the city from as
sessing or collecting the tax for such i'm
provement was begun before Judge Wheeler
in the district court yesterday.
The outcome Of this suit is OF great inn
portance to the city, as further improve
ments along this line will depend upon 1t.
City Solicitor Snyder is being assisted by
Former City Solicitor Wadsworth. John p.
Organ and J. J. Shea. The plaintiffs at
torneys are Emmett FINLEY and J. J. Hess.
The plaintiffs contend that the city
council In awarding the contract to Wick
ham did not adhere to the requirements of
the law; that proper notice was not given
the property owners interested and that
the contract was not let TO the lowest bid
der. This last contention Is based on the
grounds that one OF the bidders proposed
TO do the paving with a cheaper brick than
the Galesburg brick selected by the council.
The streets directly involved In the suit
are. sixth and Seventh streets from Broad
way TO Fifth avenue; Eighth street from
broadway to Seventh avenue; First avenue
from Pearl to Eighth street; Willow avenue
between Seventh and Eighth streets and
Fifth avenue from Main to Eighth street
The paving on Sixth street was completed
last year and the other streets have all
been torn up In preparation for the lay
ing OF brick.
II was in this ward that a number OF the
property owners desired asphaltum instead
OF brick and the present suit is the culmi'
nation OF that controversy.

OFFICER CONSENTS TO QUIT
Resigns as Administrators of Fathers
Estate and j. J. stewart APP
pointed tO Place.

Charles T. onicer yesterday resigned as
administrator OF. the estate of his father,
Thomas Oficer, deceased. and Attorney j.
]. Stewart was appointed in his stead by
Judge Wheeler Of the district court. Stew
arts bond was fixed at sec, 900, which he
furnished with Ernest E. Hart, president OF
the First National bank, and T. @. Turner,
cashier OF the same institution, as sureties.
Last January a number of creditors of the
Oficer & Pussy bank petitioned the court
to remove Charles Oficer as administrator
Of the ofncer estate, alleging among other
things that he had failed to properly at
tend to the duties Of the position and that
for the interest Of the creditors 1t would
be better to have some person outside OF
the family act In the capacity Of admins
traitor. Charles Onicer's resignation yes
tsrday was the result OF an understanding
arrived at between him and the objectins
creditors, who in compliance with the
agreement, withdrew their petition for his
removal by the court.
Creditors OF the oficer & Pussy bank
look to the ofaeer estate to meet the de-
fciency in the banks assets. Thomas Of
fcer being the senior member OF the de-
funct banking firm. The inventory Of the
estate filed In October. 1900, showed assets
OF SS1, 1881, including the family home
stead, but excluding the mining stock and
interests held by Thomas Oficer, which are
Of doubtful value.
II is understood that Charles oficer has
realized on a large part of the assets of the
estate and that he will have a considerable
sum OF money to turn over to his successor
when he files his report, which 1t is ex.
pected he will do next week.
Attorney Stewart, who succeeds Oficer
as administrator, represents creditors
against the onicer & Pusey ban whose
claims aggregate about $500. 900.

HOLSTON CONFERENCE
Spirited Fight Over the Admission of
Applicants to Preach.
(Snectal Dispatch 10 The TImes)

wYTHEv1LLE. VA, October 9.-There
was serious opposition to the admission
Of two members on trial. The nominal
objection to them was that they were al
ready past middle age. and that In q
few years they would become superan-
nuates and charges on the conference.
One Of them was man who had been
minister in the Lutheran Church for
number OF years, and his presiding elder
said that the applicants schism with the
Lutheran denominations had been the re-
suit Of his calling penitents to the
mourners' bench, whereupon Bishop
Morrison rema rked that he was already
Methodist while acting as Lutheran.
The opposition to the admission of this
applicant was led by Rev. T. c. Shuler,
presiding elder OF the Cha ttanooga Dis
trict, and Rev. DR.. Frank Richardson, a
we'll known member of the conference
Several members stated that the arpli-5
cant had BEEN a student under them.
which called forth another humorous re-
mark from Bishop Morrison in regard to
tbs proba bility OF man who had been
the instructor Of one who was regarded
as too old to enter the conference on
trial.
DR.. Richardson's objection to the ap-
plicant was that a minister who leaves
his denomination late in life and enters
another very rarely acco1nplishes any
thing. Whereupon% other members sta
ted that this case was the exception to
that rule. The applicant was finally
admitted by q large majority
The reports were for the most part
very encoura ging to the conference, and
brought forth approving comments from
the presiding Bishop. Rev Alonzo
Monk. D. D., a beloved and eloquent
preacher Of the conference. was trans
ferred to the North Carolina conference.
Bishop Morrison is a model presiding
officer. and is conducting the duties per-
tanning to his chair with dispatch ard
frmness, while he frequently enlIvens
the proceedings with flashes Of humor.
The annual meeting OF the Conference
Brotherhood was held this afternoon.
This IS a mutual assessment life tns11-

closer together all parts OF the country
in the bonds OF common citizenship,
and there were already, he adGed, ev1-
dences in the responses received from the
Southern States that he had not niscal-
culated. Indeed, he said, with out two
exceptions. the entire press OF the. coun-
try had commended the spirit OF the LETT
ter. Continuing on this point he said:
