ing held. Monday night, was largely
attended, between 80 and so representa-
tive citizens being present. The meet
ing was held at the office of K. II. Gar
diner. Heretofore all matters trans
acted have been strictly private. but
at the last meeting it was decided to
give TO the public something of the do
ings of the meeting. The primary OBJ
sect of the association is to encourage
and develop a stronger sentiment for
enforcement of the laws ana eneour-
age the officers appointed To enforce
them. To this end committee was
elected. F. o. Boston called the meet
ing to order and presided during the
evening. D. H Darling was elected
seeretary. AS an executive committee
the following seven gentlemen vera
chosen: Il. II. Gardner. chairman; T.
+. Boston. Weston Lewis. Henry Rich
ards. D. II. Darling. J. S. Maxcy and
r. +. Hazard. The duty of this COM
mittee is to lay out future work and
call q meeting of the whole when de-
sired. Every man present signed the
following paper:
Believing that unsatisfactory and in
Statutory conditions exist touching the
welfare of our city. and the violation
of ire laws and ordinances relating
thereto: and that the duty devolyes
upon the private citizen, of eXerting
his influence in favor of law and order;
and further, that the officials whose
duty ii is to enforce the laws and ord
fnanceS should be encouraged and di
reeted by expression of public sent-
ment to the end that failure of duty
may be regarded as wilful or venal
neglect: We, the undersigned. citizens
of Gardiner. hereby agree to form our
selves into a committee of the whole,
whit power to appoint an executive
committee of seven, whose duty it
shall be To take direct ADMINISTRATION
of the purposes and Spirit of this
agreement, and who shall determine
what evils exist: what laws and ofdi-
nanees are ignored: what remedies
sh4ll BE applied ;sssssal aetions shall be
taken. and 10 confer With and report
10 the committee of the whole when
ever they may conclude thatSthe ext
geney of the case requires it. The eX-
ecutive committee shall further pro-
vide. For q place of meeting; the
method of giving notice for 4 general
meeting: a plan for raising sufficient
funds for executing the purpose Of the
organization: and for all such other
contingencies as may arise in the
prosecution of the work.
This paper is to be circulated among
the citizens and Il large number of sig
natures will surely be secured. 1t was
considered best to withhold the

Edgar II. Fairar OF New Orleans,
Tuesday, sent by telegraph to Chair
man Pujo his resignation as associate
counsel for the House banking and
currency committee in the conduct Of
the so-called Money trust" investiga-
ton. His principal reason was that he
was unable to spare time from his own
affairs to serve the committee, with
samuel untermyer of New York as
counsel.
The official 'Bellwether" of the
House, Representative John A. NJ Ad-
air of Indiana, will be supplanted IN

will be called when Representative

voice first whenAthe roll is called.
There is some consolation in his. fallen
estate for Mr.. Adair. however. The
Bellwether is supposed TO be in his
place whenever roll call is began
and Mr.. Adair, by reason of many
