Manchester Bureau, Times Dispatch,
! No. HOP Hull Street.
The City Council will hold It's regular
monthly meeting tonight, and Will pass
upon ut least two important questions.
| The two matters Of prime consideration
which will probably come before the Ccun-
Gil are filling the vacancy in the Council
/ from the Second Ward, caused by the
removal of tho incumbent, Mr. a. j.
4 Darfron, TO another ward and the Dues
ton relating to the closing of all saloons
1 at 10 o'clock midnight.
] For the election to tho vacancy from
4 tho Second Ward, two prominent names
are mcntioncd-N1r d. L. Toney ,nnd ar.
4 NJ A. Campbell. 1t Is not known when
of the two will be nominated by the
Second Ward delegation tonight. Mr..
I Campbell is out OF town. attending the
4 Methodist Conference In Danvlle, ana
| Mr. ,roncy has said that he Is not seeking
| the position and that ho would not be
d candidate against any opposition. Both
| men arc PROMINENT and both would be
4 highly capable Of filling the place. Mr..
! Campbell Is Mt present one OF the cleo
toral board, and also holds other non
paying Offices Mr.. Toney has been q
| member Of the lower house, and has had
u large experience in city and public
| affairs. The matter will, in all prob
ability, be decided upon tonight.
Midnight Ordinance.
The other question that will likely come
before the Council tonight Is that rclat-
ing to the earlier closing Of tho city
saloons, a subject that has lately been
brought up by Mr.. S. G, Cox, Some time
ago q number of the more prominent
saloonkeepers expressed themselves us
being in favor Of such an ordinance.
But recently there has been some talk
of opening UP one or more clubs In the
city. condition, IL 1t came about, which
would nullify the good effects that might
be obtained If tho saloons were closed
at y O'Clock every night. a prominent
saloon owner said last night that If
there should DO opened a club, he would
be against such an ordinance, and 1t Is
probable that ho voices the sentiments
Of all other saloonkeepcrs who wero at
first in favor Of the proposed ordinance.
The; Street Committee Will meet at z
o'clock.
Files Bill Of Complaint.

gether with the fixtures and stock In
