rived: the day wherein the ia
or infamous = Borough
IA Street railway bin in it's
amended form was to come up for the
aldermen's consideration.
Every paper in the city devoted col
umns to the situation. Everywhere it
was known hat the hoy mayor was
fighting with all his might the bill he
had already vetoed. Equally we'll was
it understood that Horrigan was MAX
ing the battle of his whole career in
behalf of the measure. If he could but
induce his solid thirteen" aldermen to
stand firm and could maintain his hold
on Roberts for the fourteenth. all
would be plain sailing and the bill
would pass by a two-thirds vote in
spite Of the mayors veto.
More than the mere bill and his
price for it We're included in Horri-
CAMS reasons for his present activity.
He recognized that his prestige as boss
was at stake-that in case of failure
his hold on the organization would be
considerably weakened, perhaps almost
so much shaken as to permit Phelan to
fulfill his once absurd threat to tear
him down from his eminence. For the
b%reathless interest the duel between
Horrigan and the youthful mayor the
boss had "made." In such circles a
beaten man commands scant respect.
* y
The board OF aldermen were in ses-
sion in the city hall. Off the ante
chamber of the great room where they
met was a small. snugly furnished
apartment. first of a series of similar
rooms that stretched away, with con
Meeting doors, to the far end of the
main corridor. This place, with the
room adjoining. had one been the
comptroller's Office. OF late, however,
that official had changed his quarters
and the room nearest the antechamber
had been appropriated by Horrigan
himself as a sort Of unofficial snug
gerry, where he could sit at ease and
transact business at close quarters
whenever the organizations secret in
terests demanded his presence at the
city hall.
Here, his whereabouts known only
to his intimate and personal lieuten-
ants, the boss was wont to sit at ease,
like some fat, rubicund spider in the
center Of a web of intrigue, and issue
his orders or plans Of campaign. Some
Of these were carried by word of mouth
through the anteroom into the alder.
manic chamber. Others he transmit
ted by means of a telephone that stood
ready on the center table, before which
his great easy chair was always placed.
Around this table as the board Of al.
dermen were about to on the
fateful Friday Of the Borough bills
final consideration sat three men
Wainwright, Gibbs and Horrigan. The
| former, in spite of his habitual steady
GOODNESS, was plainly uneasy. Gibbs
made no effort to deny his anxiety.
His eyes were bloodshot, his manner
distracted and his nerves evidently
strung to breaking point. Horrigan
